As notices advertising £50 tickets at more than £700 appeared on lampposts in the city, Uefa public affairs director William Gaillard said: 'If you don't have a ticket, don't go to Paris.' 'The enthusiasm for the match is unprecedented and we are trying to track what is happening with the resale of tickets on the internet and elsewhere,' he said. 'We will prosecute people for organised black market sale.' British diplomats said they accepted that many people without tickets might travel to France to 'soak up the atmosphere' and a special consular team was on standby for anyone in trouble. Uefa released more than 77,000 tickets for the match last February, 16,000 of them destined for the public and 30,000 were to be divided between Arsenal and Barcelona.

The Belton boat show may have come and gone but it certainly left a lasting impression on me — it should be called the “Belton Boat and Fishing show”. While all boat shows cater to attendees with an in interest in fishing the folks at this show view it as a way of life. The result was a weekend full of conversation about kayak fishing and the benefits of using a kayak over a powerboat. I don’t want to get into that debate here but we certainly made our case! Even though we had many beautiful and enticing boats engulfing us on the show floor, attendees flocked to our booth with many questions. We had a great time at the show, made many new friends and customers and thanks all those that dropped by just to say hello. If you missed it, we are currently exhibiting at the Houston Boat Show through January 15th. Here is a short video highlighting what you can expect to see there. – Roland @ACK

Did we recently write an article saying the term “boombox” immediately makes our shoulders cringe? Yes. Did we then mock the get ups we used to wear when we used them? Um, yeah, but if you’d allow us to make one slight exception to our stance on large audio devices – this thing is pretty sweet. The iP4 combines the nostalgic feel of an old boombox with the modern need for an iPhone or iPod device. Ditching the chrome look for a better shade of gray, the iP4 is equipped with four adjustable EQ sliders, TruBass digital signal processing and a flexible dock to accommodate any iPhone or iPod without the need for inserts. If you want to plug it in at home, it comes with an AC adapter, but for strolling the block (something we have always been a fan of) you can remember the good ole days of saving up for D batteries.

Posted on Mon Jul 12th, 2010 8:45am PDT By X17 Staff Apparently the Jersey Shore's Snooki is so consumed with her own fake celebrity that she doesn't recognize a real celebrity when she hears one! In between shooting in Miami and heading back to the Shore, Snooki, J-WOWW, Vinny and Pauly D made a little stopover in LA, where they headed to Madeo for Italian food (what else?) When leaving the celeb eaterie, we asked Snooki, who's no stranger to legal trouble herself, if she had any advice for Lindsay Lohan. Her response was classic: "Who's that?" Maybe you should lay off the fried pickles, Snooks! SEE THE GALLERY Jersey Shore Eats Italian, Of Course Stories from around the Web

DONT LISTED TO GOOD FEEDBACK!! I had the account for 2 days and it locked me out, once I managed to get back in I see there was various transactions taking coin out of my account, then it locked me out AGAIN and now I have no access and noone replies at customer support. Complete waste of time AND MONEY! Bad service So I've been emailing back and forth with blockchain, no real help until yesterday. However when I'm asked to send my pin and say of purchase to "jade" I do so and received a response hours later...literally at 1 in the morning staying that there's no wallet in accordance with the info I sent.

In cooking, the process of clarification entails straining out extraneous muck from liquids so that they might be pure, clear and ideal for consumption. With this series on food terminology and issues we're attempting to do the same. Organic: it's a word that gets bandied and bashed around a lot. Plenty of folks believe it's synonymous with "healthy," while others think it's just an excuse for companies to vacuum the last of the cash from your wallet. Politics aside, what does the term actually mean? Jeff Bridges and Share Our Strength's Billy Shore visited the CNN Grill and spoke with Suzanne Malveaux about the No Kid Hungry campaign. According to the USDA, 50 million people, or 16.6 percent of Americans, live in households at risk of hunger. The Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps, now puts food on the table for one in seven Americans. A family of three (one adult, two kids) earning more than $23,900 would not be eligible for food stamps. Here's what's at stake in our own backyard and beyond. Vegetarians are (mostly) not here just to ruin your good time. Really. I swear. I was one, myself for seven years and all I wanted at a cookout was to hang out with my friends, and not have to worry that the omnivores would gobble up all the meat-free sides before I got to the table. Here are a few of my favorite ways to celebrate the bounty of the season and make sure all my guests leave full and satisfied - no matter how they choose to chow down. Editor's note: David Frum is a contributing editor at Newsweek and The Daily Beast and a CNN contributor. He is the author of seven books, including a new novel, "Patriots." Prediction: 2013 will be a year of serious global crisis. That crisis is predictable, and in fact has already begun. It will inescapably confront the next president of the United States. Yet this emerging crisis got not a mention at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. We'll see if the Democrats do better. The crisis originates in this summer's extreme weather. Almost 80% of the continental United States experienced drought conditions. Russia and Australia experienced drought as well. The drought has ruined key crops. The corn harvest is expected to drop to the lowest level since 1995. In just July, prices for corn and wheat jumped about 25% each, prices for soybeans about 17%.

|[May 13, 2014] SmartEnergy IP Founder, Juliet Shavit, Tackles Smart Grid Customer Education in Upcoming Issue of Forbes Magazine NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- SmartEnergy IP™, the leading provider of Smart Grid customer education solutions, announced today that it has produced a special section on Smart Grid customer education that appears in this month's issue of Forbes magazine. The May 26th Global 2000 issue is out on newsstands this week. The issue follows the highly successful 2014 Smart Grid Customer Education Symposium that took place on April 28th in New York, New York. Both the Symposium and the Forbes section focus on the increasing importance of the utility-customer relationship in today's society, as utilities seek to modernize the electrical grid and adapt new strategies and echnologies for engaging customers.

New technologies are enabling us all to reduce load and improve reliability, but at the end of the day we will have a more sustainable future through a more engaged energy customer," said Juliet Shavit, Founder and CEO of SmartEnergy IP. "It is not about a meter or a piece of hardware. It is about having an informed and rewarding energy lifestyle. A lower bill is a bonus." This year's Smart Grid Customer Education Award winners are: Baltimore Gas and Electric, Delmarva Power, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and San Diego Gas & Electric. For more information about the accomplishments of these utilities and the importance of Smart Grid customer education, pick up a copy of the May 26th issue of Forbes magazine or contact SmartEnergy IP at 215-504-4272.

Ok, thx for the advice so far. I may have found a dealer who can deliver a Defy frame. He doesn't have the correct size, but he will check If I chose Shimano Ultegra 6750, what BB do I need then? Is it this one? ISMBB9141B For any of the Shimano cranks just ask the shop to get you the standard Shimano BB86 press fit. I know press fit BB's seem a little mysterious at first but once you get your hands on the parts they really are a simple system with which to work. here is the item: depending on the frame you may not need the middle sleeve part.

Just as many Hoosiers get used to the idea of not being forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment under Indiana’s new Right-to-Work law, according to a Circuit Court Judge, a suit filed by the United Steelworkers to strike down the new law can move forward. Until earlier this year, Indiana workers who went to work at a unionized company could be forced to pay union dues and fees as a condition of employment—which meant, if they refused to pay union dues or fees, the union in their workplace could have them fired. However, when the state’s legislature made Indiana the 23rd state in the nation to prohibit unions to force workers to pay dues as a condition of employment, knowing their incomes would dramatically drop, unions vowed to fight the change. Almost immediately, Indiana unions sued to kill the Right-to-Work law, claiming that the freedom to choose to pay a union (as opposed to being forced) was “akin to slavery.” Now, that suit is moving forward. According to a press release issued by the United Steelworkers: Lake County, Indiana, Circuit Court Judge George Paras ruled on Tuesday that the United Steelworkers USW legal challenge to Indiana’s new anti-union “right-to-work” law can go forward. The USW filed a lawsuit arguing that the law, which requires unions to represent workers who are receiving the benefits of union membership without contributing to the costs, is a violation of Article 1, Section 21, of the state constitution. That clause states: “No persons particular services shall be demanded, without just compensation.” In denying the states motion to dismiss the challenge, Judge Paras wrote that “it cannot categorically be said at this time” that the law does not violate the Indiana Constitution. The decision means that the case may proceed to a full hearing on the merits of the unions argument that the “right-to-work” law, signed into law in February, should be struck down. Jim Robinson, Director of USW District 7, which includes the state of Indiana, noted, “We are pleased by this decision and look forward to seeing this unjust law, which is bad for Hoosier workers and does not represent our Midwestern value of accepting personal responsibility, be struck down by the courts.” Just as easily Indiana’s workers were given the freedom to choose to pay union dues or not, if the unions’ lawsuit is successful, Hoosiers may once again be forced to pay dues to unions in order to keep their jobs Related: Indiana’s Right-to-Work Law: Frequently Asked Questions “Truth isn’t mean. It’s truth.” Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012) Cross-posted on LaborUnionReport.com Get LUR updates on Twitter.

Krdc Gets Some Love from Google's Summer of Code I'm excited to see that a Krdc proposal was accepted by Google for this years Summer of Code. It's a program drastically in need of some love. Krdc has remained unchanged for as long as I can remember, and while it does "work", you have to know what you are doing. It's "Browse" functionality is completely broken and has never worked for me. I also can't get it to connect using a computer name, only an IP address. Since my desktop computers all have static IP addresses that is manageable, but it's far from intuitive for a newcomer. In fact, the only way I can connect to my desktop is not only knowing the IP address, but also the protocol name. For example, I have to type "vnc://192.168.1.5" or "rdp://192.168.1.5". RDP is the Windows Remote Desktop protocol in case you need to access one and don't have VNC installed on it. Hopefully the Summer of Code project can bring a necessary, but languishing, Krdc project in line with the capability and usability level the rest of KDE project.

TW WuMactaa Xnld.) IX>NDON. Aug It.?Sinn Fain Ireland heard the rattle of the British saber In the house of 4ords this afternoon when Lord Birkenhead. supporting Lord Cnrson's motion for adjournment until October, told the peers that the rejection of Lloyd George's te-ms means civil Conflict Is necessary, said Lord Birkenhead, for the purpose of preventing the secession of Southern Ireland from the British Empire. Premier Lloyd George In the house of commons gave utterance to a statesmanlike and carefully worded warning of the government's attitude If a breakdown In the negotiations occurs. While the premier was speaking. Birkenhead and Curson gave voice to their bold and warlike sentiments to the great satisfaction of the Unionists, who are strenuously opposing the liberal terms of the government. Says Feree T?e Small. Lord Birkenhead said: "If the events of the past year nave proved anything they have proved that the number of soldiers and police In Ireland were Inadequate. "In the event of a breakdown In the negotiations the government will take whatever steps are nec ?*ary to prevent secession and take those steps with the spirit and determination adopted by the Northern States of American towards the South In 18?1." Still Has Hope. In the house of commons Lloyd Ooorgn appeared still hopeful, but he left no doubt that If the teAns w-r* rejected the government would accept It as an unmistakable challenge to the authority of the enws and the unity of th. empire. The premier naked for a free hand for the executive department# to take emergency measures until Parliament can be summoned. He divulged the fact that the government's plan la. and that It la all prepared, to throw unprecedented military forces across the Irish Sea. These Important statement* by the two government leaders clearly emphasized that Britain has placed all her cards on the table. They are believed to reveal a solidarity of political opinion In England where the offer la considered very liberal?the only criticism In fact coming from the Unionist groups, which claim that It is, if anything, too generous In Its Wlas Labor Support. This Is particularly Indicated In the attitude of Herbert H. Asqulth , and J. H. Thomas, of the Opposition and Labor parties, both of whom are usually found in bitter debate against Lloyd George's policies, but Who on this occasion are found Lloyd George's speech Itself has served to stabilise the nervousness which has developed through the lie opened his eagerly expected statement carefully and cautiously, "Nothing can be said at "this stage which can be possibly helpful?and there Is the danger that aome word will be used which would be capable "The Irish atmosphere at best Is always full of suspicion which distorts facts as well as fancies. Great Britain must accept her full share f the responsibility for this condition of Irish atmosphere. "All the government has to say has been said in the two letters to Wants World Sympathy. The premier frankly declared that the reason that the complete terms were embodied In these lett? ra was because of "the Importance of ranging by the side of these proposals all the sane opinion, not merely of England and Ireland, but that of the whole world." Lloyd George defended the government from the criticism that the terms were too liberal by empasising the government's desire to placate the Irish people. "In Ireland, as far as I can see." he said, "there is doubt not so much as to the terms, as to whether the government really meant them or not. That Is a question of explanation. The outline cannot be altered nor the basis changed." The approval of Lloyd George's Irish proposals by his political enemy. Asqulth, was categorical. Thomas, however, added that the negotiations had "reached a stage where the Irish question has ceased to be a party question, and should be Viewed neither from the standPoint of party nor political advantage."

PACKERS IN MOVE j TO LOWER PRICES Would Restrict Shipments to Make Retailers Reduce CHICAGO, Aug. 1J?A movement by commission men and packers to restrict Incoming shipments of liveI stock, and which eventualy may j have the effect of forcing retail prices of meat downward, came to*ay in an appeal sent broadcast by Everett C. Brown, president of the National Livestock Exchange. 1 "The dressed beef trad? is In a demoralized condition,'* It was ex plained. "Although wholesale prices of beef have dropped until forequarters are selling In soma, places at 4 cents a pound, retail prices have not come down. "With retail prices up, the public <s not buying. With that condition existing the retailer, of course. Is not selling and Is consequently not buying from the wholesaler, who In . turn has restricted his orders from the packers. .Meanwhile, from the Western markets the usual shlp. ments of cattle for this time of , year are being shipped and the packers force are converting the shipments Into dressed meats." The solution of the situation, according to commission men and packers, lies in the hands of the retailers. The wholesale price of beef 1 has ben steadily declining; the retail price has been held practically on the same level.

PARIS, Aug. 19.?Prince Alexander of Serbia, regent of the new kingdom, is not in a hospital at all, but in the Hotel Continental here, and his worst illness is what might be termed a "diplomatic broken lefc." However, the doctors who were reported to have operated on' him for appendicitis, are sfill trying to maintain the bluff that he Is in the hospital at Neuilly. Just why the Prince chose to represent himself as unable to return to Belgrade for the funeral of his father. King Peter, whose body still lies in state there awaiting burial on Mondiy, i:' a matter of conjecture. Some observers believe he did ?o because he tears to return to Belgrade. His elder brother, George, who renounced his right of succession under pressure of Austria. may now re-assert his claim and It Is understood that Alexander would rather let him make the first move. - Or the political powers may decide to award tlve crown to the family of the late king's trother.

Mike Pettine said he never told the Cleveland Browns he was thinking of withdrawing from the team’s coaching search. Pettine said Thursday that he never gave the team an ultimatum and that the only time he expressed concern about the process was when he “vented” to his agent, Trace Armstrong. “Not at any point did I say you need to tell me or I’m pulling out,” Pettine said. The question was relevant in light of Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn saying he would have been interested in the Browns opening. The Browns chose not to wait, though, and hired Pettine. They said it was because they wanted Pettine, but when Pettine admitted he needed to know the team’s decision it indicated the Browns may have acted because of that. “It was unfair to the Bills how long it was going,” Pettine said. Armstrong was one of the league’s more respected players when he played, and he is a former president of the NFL Players Association. He might have conveyed Pettine’s feelings, but Pettine was not asked that, and everything he said indicated discussions stayed between him and Armstrong. “It was putting [the Bills] in a tough spot,” Pettine said. “The loyalty there was a driving force, but it never came in the form of an ultimatum.”

I've been working on a program that is meant to take a full sentence from the user (saved as a vector<char> ) and divide it into words. It does this by using an iterator in a for loop that looks something like this: for ( *iter = sentence.begin(); *iter != ' '; iter++ ) words.push_back( *iter ); // Do some form of copying from // the words vector to a string vector (Assuming that sentence is the vector<char> is another vector<char> . Also assuming that iter is a normal iterator for a vector<char> I need a way to fill in the line of code commented in the above block. The eventual outcome of the program is supposed to be the computer displaying each separate word in the sentence, so you can see that I need a way to put each word into a vector of its own. Then I can iterate through it and display each word. My other problem is, how can I fill a vector<char> up with a string from the user? For example, if the user input: ...how could I assign that to a vector<char> so that the vector<char> held the values H, e, l, l, o, , w, o, r, l, d, . to easily (maybe?) be copied over to a vector<string> I hope this makes sense; if not, I'll be happy to try to clarify. Thanks.

Published 31/10/2012 | 09:58 Darren Quigley: 6/10. Wasn't helped by his defence at all. Was lucky Rafter couldn't finish the chance he gifted him in the first half. Daire Doyle: 6/10. Never afraid to get on the ball and always gives 100% but doesn't offer enough on the ball. Danny O'Connor: 6/10. Should have done better for the Dundalk opener but solid aside from that. Shane O'Connor: 6/10. The current young player of the year enjoyed a no frills performance on his return from injury. Kevin Knight: 5/10. Went missing for the first goal and was replaced at half time. Dean Zambra: 6/10. Couldn't influence the game as much as usual out on the right flank. Sean Houston: 7/10. Found himself in three different positions throughout the 90 minutes and didn't disappoint in any of them. Kevin O'Connor: 7/10. Plenty of late runs into the Dundalk area which caused problems but unfortunately none resulted in a goal. Paul Moffatt: 5/10. Struggled. Looked a bit lightweight and spent far too much time looking to the referee for help. Kieran 'Marty' Waters: 7/10. Never ceases to surprise. Pick that one out. Jason Byrne: 6/10. Had performed well until he had to be stretchered off in the 55th minute due to a gashed leg.

LANSDALE — A Hilltown man accused of inappropriately touching a young girl in 2010 — the granddaughter of his ex-girlfriend, with whom he was living in Lansdale — after allegedly smoking crack and watching pornography waived his preliminary hearing on Dec. 3 and now heads to county court to face multiple felony and misdemeanor sexual offenses. As he was led into District Judge Harold Borek’s Lansdale courtroom on Tuesday, a handcuffed Walter Edward Wiseman, 51, of the 1100 block of Green Street, pulled his blue prison-issued coat over his head to try to shield himself from news cameras. Lansdale detectives said that they received a report in July that the girl — who is now 10 — had been assaulted while she and her brother were visiting their grandmother at the apartment she shared with Wiseman on the 100 block of Green Street. According to the criminal complaint, the girl told authorities that Wiseman touched her private parts in the back room of the residence after he changed the television channel to “a porno.” The girl told police that her brother walked into the room, saw what was going on and told their grandmother, who questioned the girl about the incident but the girl told her that nothing had happened because she was scared, the complaint states. Police said that during the course of the investigation they spoke to the grandmother, who told them the alleged incident happened in July of 2010. According to the complaint, she told police that on that day she was woken up by her grandson around 1 a.m. and saw Wiseman and the girl in the room — she said she saw a porno on the TV and that Wiseman was high on crack cocaine. When she asked him why he was smoking crack and watching a porno, he replied only that he smoked the crack in the bathroom, according to the complaint. Investigators added that she told them that “when Wally smoked crack he became very sexual.” The woman also told police that when she took the girl out of the room and asked her what had happened, she told her grandmother that nothing happened, according to the complaint. Detectives said they interviewed Wiseman, who was accompanied by his attorney, in August and he told them that he remembered the incident. The complaint states that he told police the girl had come into his room around 1 a.m. and asked to use a computer, and when he told her she couldn’t, she became upset. According to police, Wiseman said that he and the girl were the only people in the room at the time, but the door was open, and when his girlfriend — the girl’s grandmother — walked past the room to use the bathroom, she saw the two in the room and Wiseman told the girl to get out. He told police that the next day, the grandmother confronted him, telling him that the girl had told her he had touched her “down there,” and he stated to detectives that he did not touch her, according to the complaint. However, police said, Wiseman admitted that he “has had an addiction to crack cocaine” and that when he smoked it he “became horny immediately”; he also told a detective that he had watched child porn in the past. Wiseman, who turned himself in at Lansdale district court Aug. 22 after a warrant for his arrest was issued, has been charged with corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a minor, both felonies, as well as indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age, indecent assault without consent and endangering the welfare of children, all misdemeanors. Wiseman’s attorney, Gail Marr, said that her client “maintains his innocence” in the case. After Wiseman waived his hearing on Tuesday, Borek raised Wiseman’s bail from $25,000 cash set at the preliminary arraignment — which Wiseman posted on Aug. 26, four days after being committed to Montgomery County Correctional Facility — to $35,000 cash as part of the waiver agreement. Authorities explained that by doing so, Wiseman — who last Friday began serving a 12- to 24-month sentence in Bucks County on a recent DUI conviction, Marr said — could get credit for time served, from Tuesday onward, in the event he is convicted in the current case and any sentence is ordered by a Montgomery County judge to be served concurrently with Wiseman’s existing sentence. Wiseman is scheduled to be formally arraigned in county court on Jan. 15. Follow staff writer Michael Goldberg on Twitter @mg_thereporter.

Level With Me is a series of interviews with game developers about their games, work process, and design philosophy. At the end of each interview, they design part of a small first person game. You can play this game at the very end of the series. Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn make provocative games and game-like artworks as Tale of Tales, based in Ghent, Belgium. Together, they’ve made The Endless Forest, The Graveyard, The Path, Fatale, and Bientot l’ete. Their most recent project is Luxuria Superbia. Robert Yang: So, what’s going on these days? Auriea Harvey: Well…. we’re going into a phase right now, to explore how I can be more of the face of Tale of Tales. When reporters would talk to us, they’d mostly talk to Michael, because I didn’t want to have to deal — AH: So I’m thinking, how can I help us by taking a more active role in the dialogue around our games? I can totally speak to people, but I’m also shy, and I don’t want to express too much because I can get cynical about games. Michael’s more forward while I’m more… withdrawn. RY: But that’s part of making games, right? You can change what a game is about by changing how people talk about it. AH: I agree, but that’s partly what made me so cynical! With most art, you experience an emotional or gut-feeling that determines its value, but you also have to educate yourself and know what you’re looking at. I just don’t like the idea that what’s said about a thing is more important than the thing itself. I have this thing about context. Who made this? What were they trying to do? Games that can’t give me that — you know, like big games by EA — who designed that? RY: Design by committee, shareholders, focus-testing… I agree that for games with giant teams, it’s rarer to see a unified voice emerge from those. AH: I do admire directors who manage large teams, and the level of work that comes out of huge studios, on a technical craft level. We’re not directors… I mean, I guess I’m the data director and Michael’s the process director — RY: What does “data director” mean? AH: The things you see, mostly. Michael’s more in charge of the programming, the process, maybe the things you feel, the intangible things. We both end up doing everything though. But for our collaborators, we just say, “hey you make great music” — we don’t tell them what to do. “We want you to do that, but for this.” Actually we need a concept artist now, and I just can’t find someone I like instinctively. Usually it’s like a bolt of lightning for us. RY: If I needed concept art, I’d see that more as how I need to learn to draw, to just do my own concept art. AH: I see it that way too. But for The Path, it was just the two of us who did almost everything but the music. I modeled 14 characters in 2 months. AH: It was suicide! And now I know I don’t want to do it again. And if we had known ahead of time, we wouldn’t have done it. RY: Yeah, in The Path, there was so much… stuff. So many places, so many models. AH: We modified a lot of stock 3D models for that. But when we needed something more specific, we’d just maybe hire a random modeler off Polycount or something, and it was like hell, it never worked out. It’s a strange dynamic where you are their boss instead of a collaborator. RY: So how do you find people? AH: With Fatale, we saw Takayoshi Sato’s work in Silent Hill 2 and wrote him an e-mail. “Hey, we’re making a game, want to make a model for us?” And he said yes. That’s how it usually works, literally. We’re working with a writer right now… actually, she found us. She writes science fiction / fantasy stuff, and I read a few of her stories and was enchanted. She’s also written for games before. RY: Isn’t it hard to collaborate on writing or design? You have this vision of the game, locked inside your head. It’s so hard to communicate and share that. If it’s not just an art asset you can swap out, but it’s the core design or what the game is about… it seems really hard. AH: I don’t tell the writer what to write, but we have a very good back-and-forth about it. I send her pictures of things and my own writing too, so it’s more like a conversation. It certainly changes things. But in this case, I wanted that change. You have to want it. But when working with a concept artist, I’m more opinionated. The other day, Michael was telling me, “you know, working with a concept artist is going to change how it looks — and the problem is that you already know how it looks.” I can’t expect someone else to draw like me. You know, the writing is a bit like concept art too. When she writes, it’s like she’s giving me textual concept art. You see things in your head when you read it. RY: A lot of Tale of Tales games adapt texts. The Path adapts Little Red Riding Hood, Fatale adapts Oscar Wilde’s play Salome… AH: Yes, but we think our interpretation comes more from our interactivity. We do adapt more because we realized we weren’t writers. We know that’s not our forte. We like adaptation because people already know the story, like with Little Red Riding Hood. It already exists. It’s in the tradition of re-telling fairy tales. RY: I’d even put it in this “chamber theater” kind of tradition. A lot of the text from Salome is plopped right into Fatale. AH: Yeah, we’re into the idea of virtual theater, of a virtual actor. Like the girl in white in The Path was from a project called 8, and now we’re going to put her back in 8 again. To us, it’s the same exact girl. The same personality. She’s an actress, she can be in any story. RY: I felt the same about Half-Life 2. Valve’s NPC idle AI is very expressive. If you just sit there and watch them, they do all these subtle things. Maybe they’ll look at you for a moment, then look off to the side, etc. all this fidgeting that’s pretty nice. AH: The first time I noticed something like that was in Ico. He’s just standing there and it’s beautiful. That was the first time I thought, “wow, that’s a character.” It’s just idle motions, but it doesn’t feel like it. RY: Do you still like what Fumito Ueda says about subtractive design, and is that important to your practice? AH: I think I’m pretty maximalist by nature, I like lots of stuff. The other thing that Fumito says is about increasing the “density” of things… But balance that with what you can do. People who make games are really hard on themselves. You think, “oh, just another hour.” But it’s not healthy, I know that now. RY: I’m very unhealthy, I think. RY: I’ll work in huge spurts and do nothing for a day or two. I think me and many indies out there… we don’t know how to pace ourselves. It’s like if we’re not cranking it up to 11, we’re not being efficient. There’s pressure. “I have to make a game so that maybe I can sell it and make money so that maybe I can eat food.” AH: It’s no different for us. It’s just, I like having a healthy mind. [laughs] Now I schedule that shit! And I know Michael would be laughing his ass off if he heard me saying this because I’m so bad with schedules. We used to work all the time, roll right out of bed in the morning and to the desk. Now that I’m officially middle-aged, we quit by 8 PM and no work on Sunday. RY: The Lord’s Day. AH: Yeah, it’s a sin! You can burn yourself out. After The Path, we were so burnt out that we had to make Fatale, otherwise we’d think we could never finish anything again — four months, start to finish, which is really fast for us. We were also just really obsessed with paintings of women who chop off the heads of men… RY: [laughs] Is that a genre? AH: There are a lot. All these stories from The Bible or mythology. Salome, Judas, Samson’s hair getting cut by Delilah. There’s also this painting by John Collier of Clytemnestra standing outside the house of Agamemnon, balancing this huge axe, looking like a total badass. I saw the painting in real-life, and stared at it for 10 minutes. And in the background there’s a curtain leading into the house, and I wondered, what’s behind this curtain? I wanted to make a game like that, where you find out. We used Oscar Wilde’s Salome instead, and Michael saw lot in that too. We put in lots of anachronisms to draw links between modern Middle Eastern situations and a more cliched one. I wouldn’t say we were entirely successful at bringing that out, but it was a chance for us to play around with ideas. I’m still really interested in exploring a game that’s less about movement and more about stillness. RY: I was reading the play last night, and at the end, Salome dies. And, not that any adaptation has to address every part of the source, but that seems like a huge thing to leave out of Fatale. AH: Fatale is very much about a moment. It’s that instant after John the Baptist’s head is chopped off. In the play, he’s not supposed to look at her and he doesn’t want to look at her. But when his head is chopped off, that’s actually the only moment possible when he CAN look at her. It’s the remnants of the party scene. And then if you restart the game, it’s morning, and Salome is dancing, almost like an alternate ending, and suddenly you’re the king and you look at her. RY: I felt disconnected from John the Baptist. I, as the player, wanted to look at her, but he didn’t. AH: You’re not John the Baptist, he’s dead. You can see his head. You’re a floating ghost. RY: But wouldn’t his ghost also not want to look at her? AH: I think we’re saying that, deep down, he did want to look at her. He protesteth too much, you know? It’s about the tension of looking. RY: I like this “tension of looking.” You’ve talked about how first person games give you motion sickness. I think that’s why your first person work is so distinctive — you don’t take it for granted, you use it because you have to. “This better be worth it.” AH: Yeah, that’s why the navigation in Fatale is so “weird” — we did all these tests and it turned out that kind of camera motion was the only one that didn’t make me sick. I hate WASD with mouse-look, it’s like nails on a blackboard. I tried to play… Max Headroom?… No, Max Payne! That almost killed me. There’s something about cameras in PC games. I played Dear Esther even though I knew I was going to get sick. I played for 5 minutes! It was heroic. Same thing with Half-Life 2. The first scene was so beautiful. It makes me sad because I want to play Gone Home. RY: Speaking of Gone Home — lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about “personal games” — in what way are your games personal? AH: For the longest time, all our work was about us. It was so autobiographical. Now I want to look more outwards, to make things for people that didn’t necessarily say everything about me… but it always is. Like, The Path, is totally about me! RY: Oh, really? AH: The game is about everyone who worked on it. It becomes about all of you. Well, The Graveyard is intensely personal, in the sense that I based the character on Michael’s grandmother… and then she died. The cemetery is based on a specific cemetery that Michael went to when he was young, and he remembers it feeling so alive even with all the graves. It’s about letting people find a way in. They’ll get whatever they’re going to get out of our games, we’re not trying to make a specific point. I do think “personal games” is important, in terms of making games expressive. And… I like when that happens? [laughs] RY: Okay, let’s design a first person game together now! You said you wanted to go first, because you didn’t want to have to play it and get sick? RY: Right now, it’s a really basic thing. You’re a capsule standing in a featureless void. Now what? AH: [pauses] It needs water. RY: [laughs] Why do you say that? AH: I’m really interested in mythological personifications of bodies of water… like, there’s these stories where the lake is a woman, and then a man jumps into her, and then two children are born. That’s weird for a game, but I’ve been thinking about that a lot. RY: Okay. What color should the water be? AH: Oh. Green, perhaps? RY: How big should this body of water be? AH: It should be a pool, sometimes shallow and sometimes deep. The reflection is important. It shouldn’t look too photorealistic with all these ripples… it’s more about the reflection and what you see in it. I remember we had a big mirror in our game. I like mirrors. In Silent Hill 3, when Heather looks at this mirror and it starts bleeding, or in Tomb Raider 1 when she meets her doppelganger… RY: Is this a natural pool or man-made? AH: It’s natural. So perhaps it’s surrounded by woods. RY: What are the interactions with this pool? AH: Well, you can gaze into it. But you don’t see yourself. RY: No one would notice anything special. In a lot of first person games, you can’t see yourself. AH: Okay, maybe you see… the thing you find most beautiful. You see… another place. Is that a cliche? You see the next level. Maybe it’s a door. RY: Is it daytime or nighttime? AH: Night is nice. You’d get the stars and sky reflected in the water. Or maybe you’re in a studio, with artificial lights? The trees are actually lamp posts. What you see in the water isn’t what you see around you. RY: I can do that, but what do you see in the water then? AH: Maybe… maybe there are things you can hold onto. You don’t sink down. It gets deeper and deeper. I don’t know how to hold onto things in a first person game without a gravity gun. Maybe there are buoys, or you hear the most beautiful sound in the world and you find the source of it and you drown. You want to get there. Eventually something pulls you out and you get lost. RY: But it’s a small pool. How can you get lost in it? AH: Maybe it’s a big pool. And there are things floating in the water and you grab them. RY: Do you see your hands? Or is the hand invisible and implied? AH: Implied. In first person situations, I’d prefer for people to feel like themselves. RY: Do you like body awareness in games? AH: I liked it in Mirror’s Edge… but then people look down and want to know who they are, and then are you going to tell them? I prefer more “spatial awareness”, where the environment is more important than I am. RY: That’s a good way of putting it. So you start in the pool? AH: … Yeah. I think my idea with the water was about what you’re doing there, which is, you’re trying to meet someone. Maybe this is a sentient pool! [laughs] Oh god. RY: How would you know it’s sentient? [laughs] AH: Maybe the lake is a person, a… a mermaid? That’s too literal. [pauses] There’s whispering. RY: Can we hear what it’s whispering? AH: I feel like I’m at my shrink. RY: Game journalism is therapy. AH: It should be telling you about how it’s the lake. But it’s not The Lady of the Lake. RY: The Dude of the Lake? The Guy of the Lake? AH: Yeah, most river gods were male. So this lake can be a man. And you hear it telling you… The dictionary definition of water. But that’s insane? It’s reciting bodies of water. “The Danube, the Rhine, the Seine, the Mississippi…” And after a while, you want to dive down. “Pacific!” Okay, you don’t start in the pool, you have to go into it of your own free will. And I take it back, it can a small pool where you can see it all. Maybe you’re on an island. RY: … and you’re also surrounded by fake-tree lampposts? AH: [laughs] Are you trying to make something really fucked-up? Are you scared by the randomness you get by tapping into the subconscious of a game designer? What’s the intent of this? RY: The intent of this series is… instead of some (kind of bullshit) roundtable interview where you all have to talk over each other, this is more a playable roundtable, where you all have to deal with each others’ sensibilities. If this is how you approach design, then that’s great, don’t moderate yourself. AH: But my design process starts with me getting an idea, and then three years from now… AH: Then suddenly, we go and make that. We’ve done this a lot. It’s about the ideas that survive. So I can’t be so concrete so quickly… Okay. I’m in the water and I see trees in the sky like a Magritte painting, then suddenly the water is reflecting something different, and I look down at my feet and see something else that’s not in the sky. That makes me want to dive deeper. So maybe the buoys are a way of getting down into the water. I can’t get any deeper without pulling myself down. Because down there is my heart’s desire, the thing I want. It’s calling to me! Why don’t I drown? I don’t know, you just don’t! You’re in another world. Someone else can decide what’s calling you. And forget all the artificial stuff. It’s all calm nature above the water. I think this makes a nice intro. RY: I like your approach. I’m teaching game development in a university right now, and I overhear some games students there, working: “What are the 5 different player types? How can we make a system for each type?” That’s a totally different way of thinking about games and interaction. AH: Well, I never went to school for this! RY: It’s okay, most of us didn’t. AH: I studied sculpture, I mean… It’s why I make 3D games, thinking spatially. I put myself there, trying to figure stuff out. That’s how I design. This is why we really like Quest3D, it was a real-time development environment. Always on. You can sit there and watch people play while making changes to it. And when we did The Path, I could design the world while the girls ran around, and then say — “oh, that’s where the swings should go.” RY: But wouldn’t the girl NPCs get in your way? Maybe you want to put this tree there, and then suddenly the girl gets in your way? AH: Sometimes. I’d just wait until she left. AH: It was my way of talking with the game. Now we use Unity and we can’t really do that anymore. I mean, everything else about Quest3D was hell, like the import / export process, with 500 animations in The Path, breaking all the time. Ahh! So now, in Unity, I’m trying to temper my own feeling of being in a space. AH: I’m trying to design for people, not just myself. I want to make sure other people can get there. RY: Thanks for your time.

Color has the power to evoke emotion, stimulate appetite, and even make babies cry. The psychology of colors goes well beyond personal preference, upbringing, cultural influence, and associations with experiences. Colors are deeply ingrained in modern society, which can signify love, friendship, boy, girl, purity, passion, happiness, and peace. Marketers are well aware of the power color reigns over our lives, which is why McDonald’s chooses its red and yellows to make us hungry, and Victoria’s Secret uses pinks and purples to make women feel sexy and feminine. It should surprise no one that retailers have gotten their hands on science that can manipulate the mind and senses into buying a particular item, shopping at their store or eating at their restaurant. Up to 90 percent of first impressions made about products can be based on color alone, according to a Canadian study on the impacts of color on marketing. Colors influence us “to the extent that even our highest-level cognition and intelligence are biased by these low level impressions,” Jerald Kralik, assistant professor of psychology and brain sciences at Dartmouth University, told The Atlantic. 10 Ways Colors Unknowingly Influence Your Life Stimulates appetite and enhances the brain’s attention to detail, which is why it’s the perfect choice for McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC, Wendy’s, and 711. A recent study also reveals waitresses who wear red receive more tips if their patrons are men because of the brain’s attraction to red. The color can also impair exam performances or tasks because it’s associated with danger and decreases motivation. Encourages the mind to think outside the box and to be productive and boost performance. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Forbes, and AT&T all know the trick and stick to it through their corporate business logos. It also curbs appetite because it reminds the mind of sterility. Promotes inner tranquility and connects the mind to trust and good health. A Harvard University study conducted in 2012 found food items that were labeled in green evoked a sense of healthiness and sales shot up, in contrast with the same food items with red labels, which declined in sales. The happiest color in the color spectrum also increases metabolism and gives the body a surge of energy. Babies are also prone to cry more if they’re exposed to the color yellow, so it’s best to avoid coloring the nursery with a bright sun or sunflower curtains. Is a lively color that excites the brain and causes a person to become enthusiastic. A deeper shade will indicate warmth; a brighter shade will indicate caution and cause a person to become vigilant. This calm and warming color is used to signify love, femininity and womanhood. It has such a strong hold on the mind that prisons paint the walls of certain jail cells pink to calm down some of their most aggressive prisoners, after psychologists discovered in the late 1970s that the color calmed children down in Canadian schools. The color of royalty, wealth, and success dresses the mind in luxury and provokes elitist thoughts. Many kings wore purple robes. Lighter purples, known as lavender, will calm a person who is in an anxious or nervous state, and allows them to relax. The most ominous of colors is actually considered a shade to represent death and mourning. Ancient Egyptians believed black symbolized life and rebirth. Brands such as Chanel and Prada use the color to create a sense of sophistication in their items. The color of purity, innocence, and emptiness is also often used as a symbol of peace and spaciousness. It is also used to create a bland and sterile feeling, which is why most hospitals and hospital workers are adorned in white. Gold is a metallic color that is closely associated with love, wisdom, glamour, and wealth. While silver is also a metallic color, it evokes security and style and can make the mind associate it with upscale items because of jewelry and appliances.

c/ Tuset, 20, 4º Tel. (+34) 93 368 76 68 Fax (+34) 93 237 33 92 It is becoming more important to have an international business perspective being developed in each market. Companies are increasingly selling outside their borders and they are sending their staff to other countries. Families are also regularly moving abroad. International tax law is therefore in vogue but few can actually prove international experience. This requires having a specialization and have worked in other countries, advising clients and seeking a solution to their conflicts, all from different national perspectives. It requires intercultural competence and great agility to understand complex problems, which are only solved with enthusiasm and experience. From the very beginning, Javier was aware of that. Javier Valls graduated in Law from the University of Barcelona and registered in the Barcelona Bar Association in 1995. After working as a tax lawyer in Barcelona, he moved to Germany, where he specialised in international and European tax law. He also holds a Master in European Law (LL.M.) from the Europa-Institut of the Saarland University in Saarbrücken. A few years later, he earned a PhD in Tax Law from the Tax Law Institute at the University of Cologne. During those years, he worked for the Ernst & Young’s International Tax Department in Stuttgart, and later, for the law firm Flick Gocke Schaumburg in Bonn. Back in Spain, Javier joined the "German Desk" at Ernst & Young in Barcelona, and worked in the firm’s International Corporate Tax Department, as well as in the Human Capital Department, which specialises in tax consulting services for expatriates and private individuals with assets. He also worked as Head of the Tax Department in Barcelona for the law firm Monereo Meyer Marinel·lo Abogados. A few years later, he set up his own law firm in order to focus on his true vocation: to meet the client needs by offering diligent and personalised, high-standard legal consulting services, making professional competence prevail over brand name and corporate image. Since 2006 he is a part-time Tax Law professor at the Faculty of Law in the Universidad de Barcelona, and between 2010 and 2014, the President of the International and European Law Chapter of the Barcelona Bar Association, which is in charge of promoting the knowledge of international law, where he is a regular speaker at international taxation seminars. Javier is also a member of the following associations and regularly attends the conferences held by them:

How to Use a Ouija or Spirit Board Alone How to Use a Ouija or Spirit Board Alone History of the Ouija or Spirit Board Early spirit boards were all made of wood, with letters and symbols painted onto the board. "Ouija" is the name of a particular spirit board trademarked by Parker Brothers. In the past these boards had different names under different manufacturers. The word "Ouija" is a term applied generally to all spirit boards. A brief history of the Ouija: In 1880s, businessman Elija Bond introduced the first spirit board as a parlour game. In 1891, Charles Kennard of the Kennard Novelty Company patented the first spirit board in the U.S. under the name "Ouija." Popularly, the term "Ouija" is said to have been derived from the French and German words for, "Yes," "Oui" and "Ja." But, Kennard said he gave the board this name because the spirit board told him that "Ouija" was Egyptian for "Good Luck." As far as anyone knows, this is not Egyptian "Good Luck" or anything else. Yet, in the beginning of their manufacture, they were actually referred to as "Egyptian Luck" boards. In 1854, Adolphus Theodore Wagner patented the first "talking board" in London, England. In 1898, Ouija board manufacture was turned over to William Fuld. The boards would become alternately called "Fuld boards" for a time. In 1913, a Spiritualist named Pearl Curran began receiving message from an entity called "Patience Worth," through the spirit board. The result was several books authored by this spirit who originally lived in England during the Middle Ages. In 1966, the Fuld patent was sold to Parker Brothers. Early Parker Brothers boards were made of wood, but soon this gradually gave way to cheaper manufacture until now they are made of only cardboard and plastic. Now there are a variety of spirit board manufacturers besides Parker Brothers. For example, occult author Raymond Buckland has his own "board," which is made of laminated paper. There are more sophisticated-looking boards made of cardboard and plastic or glass like the Psychic Circle. And, there are numerous independent spirit board manufacturers who are still making gorgeous wooden boards. The quality of these boards varies. What to Look for When You Buy a Spirit Board There are many complaints about the new Parker Brothers Ouija boards, which is why there are so many different kinds of spirit boards being manufactured. People are looking for higher quality and better functionality in their boards. Any board you consider purchasing should have a highly slippery surface. There should be little friction between the planchette and the board. There should be plenty of room for the planchette to slide around on the board without falling off. This is a big problem with some currently manufactured boards. The planchette should be an appropriate size for the board. The main problem with the current mass manufactured spirit boards. Some makers have decreased the size of the board without considering the size of the planchette. Unless you're a collector, you may not have many boards in your possession to choose from. So, choose wisely, especially if you are choosing a custom board. Select a spirit board you feel strongly attracted to. How Do Spirit Boards Work? Ouija boards work through a process called psycho-kinesis, which can occur once there is sufficient build up of bioplasmic energy in the instruments of the board and planchette. Some people have better luck getting the boards to work than others. A variety of factors come into play with regard to achieving success with spirit boards. A person working with a Ouija alone must have a very strong supply of his or her bioplasmic energy. The sitter must be strong and healthy. This is one reason why the boards sometimes work better with more than one person. Usually, multiple people supply more bioplasmic energy than a single person. Good Experiences Using the Ouija or Spirit Board Alone Only in recent decades have spirit boards been associated with anything negative. Early experimenters used them as part of their investigations into the nature of the world beyond. Alex Kardec talks about their use in "The Book of Mediums." Other experimenters wrote of their personal experiences with the boards, none of which involved the elements common to stories today involving poltergeists and demonic possession. Positive experiences with spirit boards center on the intention of the user. When the sitter is clear-minded and focused does the board become a means of spirit communication. The sitter gets out of the board what he or she puts into it. One example concerns a young woman who has used her spirit board alone to receive messages of comfort and guidance from her deceased grandmother . She communicates regularly with the spirit of her grandmother who has served as a support contact or "control" for other spirit communications - all very positive. Get "How to Communicate with Spriits..." on a variety of formats, including Kindle, .pdf, .lit, .epub and .mobi at: How to Communicate with Spirits: Ouija Boards, Seances and Summoning How to Use a Ouija or Spirit Board Alone Once you have selected a Ouija or spirit board you are comfortable with you can begin your first session. Of course, you can invite a friend, but it is also entirely possible to get good results alone. Semi-darken the room so that you can relax and focus more easily. Arrange the room so you can be comfortable with the board on your lap. If you have a video camera, set it up to focus on the board. You will probably have to illuminate the board a little to get a good image. You might also want to set up your video to run off the electrical socket instead of its batteries. Even minor spirit manifestations can drain brand new batteries in a matter of a couple of seconds. Alternatively, you can use a digital recorder. The benefit of using is a recorder is that when the planchette begins to move, you can speak the letters aloud. Also, you have the chance of recording some Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) during the session. Keep extra batteries handy. Make sure the feet of the planchette are clean and that the Ouija board is free of dust. A soft, dry towel will sufficiently wipe away dust or fingerprints so that the planchette can glide freely. Sit with the board on your lap. Place one or both hands lightly on the planchette. It is imperative that you are comfortable and relaxed. You may begin your session with an invocation or prayer. This can be something really simple or it can be as elaborate as you'd like. Some people even begin the session with an elaborate ritual. But, it is enough to say something simple that states your purpose and asks for help. For example, "I call upon my guardian angels to aide me and oversee this operation." Ask aloud if the person you're talking about is available. Be patient. It takes time for the planchette to build up sufficient bio-magnetism, especially with a single sitter. If you don't have success after half an hour, take a break. Come back and try it again after some water and a light snack. Many external factors play into success with the Ouija board, as well. Sunspot activity, the weather and astrology are a few. This is another reason it pays to sit with the board regularly. Be consistent in your sessions. Sittings held at the same time every evening or every week tend to yield the best results. Persistence pays off. It takes time for the board and the planchette to be imbued with your energy. This is why you may have to work with it for some time before you begin to see results. If you have a clear head and you are not in a state of any kind of mental or emotional upset, you will have better clearer communications. Pay attention to external factors, as well, such as thunderstorms, geomagnetic and solar activity and astrological timing. "How to Communicate with Spirits: Seances, Ouija Boards and Summoning," is partially a manual for paranormal investigation using the spirit board. It is true that the boards are just boards, but, they do have the tendency of opening up people's psychic and mediumistic abilities. Therefore, using the spirit board in the way it should be used is actually a very good tool for psychic development and paranormal investigation. Spirit boards are, also, excellent tools for meditation. Using a spirit board as a meditative tool can lead to spirit communication. The most important thing is what is in the mind of the sitter. The spirit board can be a tool for uplifting the soul and attuning to other frequencies or planes of existence. It is not pleasant to see the use of spirit boards maligned or hearing of them being misused or abused by silly or irresponsible people. This little book will help set the record straight about how they can and should be used. |How to Communicate with Spirits: Seances, Ouija Boards and Summoning explores methods of communicating with spirits. Includes tips and insights into different types of spirits and seances, Ouija sessions and summoning rituals. Includes "How to Use the Ouija or Spirit Board to Talk to the Dead," The Ouija or spirit board is a tool used by spiritualists since the 19th century, which is well known to increase your psychic and mediumistic abilities. Because of Hollywood movies, the Ouija has become a controversial topic for people who take their education on the matter from popular culture, although, using a spirit board is not much different from using a tarot deck. Historically, the spirit board is the tool for the development of psychic mediumship and communication with the dead. This is a no-fluff, non-moralizing approach to contacting all kinds of entities, including dark spirits. Get it at Smashwords, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other booksellers.

Miller Grove is a school that provides adequate education if the teachers would start thinking about the other issues that children bring to school which prohibits learning. The children are not in college they are in high school. Don't lecture as much teach and teach with care for the children's future. The students you send out of the school are the people who will provide some service to you one day. Remember it. Miller Grove middle does not have any kind of communication with parents. Their staff including the principle are very unprofessional. Some of the teachers need to retired or fired because they simply not qualify to teach. My seven grade child bored out of his mind because of the lack of instructions. Not all children that attend miller Grove are bad. The teachers play a big role of the children behavior as well. For example, if a child know that you don't care nothing about their learning, you just there for the money, most likely they are going to retaliate. Basically, the school need a make over. Hire competent people that's qualify to do the job. Until then move away from the neighborhood put your child somewhere else they can excel. Miller Grove has a wonderful principal and staff who go all out to ensure that their students receive the best education possible. Albeit the fact that many of the children come from troubled backgrounds, the teachers make an extra effort to help them get their performance up to standard. My son is in 7th grade there and the moment he starts operating below his usual standard I am guaranteed a phone call. I wish for them all the best. I would not recommend sending your child to this school. They don't provide books for certain core subjects for the children to take home to complete homework; but yet they have homework that the book provides information/answers for; so needless to say homework can be very difficult. Also if your child doesn't provide "A" work to certain teachers, they either recieve a incomplete or a very low score; which in return doesn't inspire the child to want to perform. Can't wait to leave this terrible school......so many bad apples, will definately spoil the bunch!!! This school does not offer a environment conducive for learning or teaching. The average class size is 32-35. The students are academically low and this lack of intelligence is manifested in their behavior. The administrative team operates on a fear of "losing my job" which shows in their lack of discipline and support for teachers. If you have no choice but to send your child here, please make sure to take the time to visit the classes and teachers during instructional time at least once a month. This middle school is the WORST middle school in Dekalb County that you could send your child to. The teachers here are unprofessional and half of the teachers here are very young and do not care about anything but a paycheck. I hate that my child had the experience of attending this middle school and I am making sure that my youngest child does not have to experience the issues that I have had with this school. Almost every child that attends here have low grades, if your child came in the door with a decent grade point average, if they attend this school there average will drop. I attented Miller Grove Middle School in grade 6. It was my first and final year. The teachers were terrible, the school was infested with ANTS, and the administrative team was lazy. I will not be attending this school ever again. I am very disappointed with the counseling staff and teachers at Middle Grove Middle School. I have been trying to get my som tested for a learning disability since the beginning of the school year. Needless to say, he has not been tested and school is almost out. In additon, homework is not given daily which is bad for my child. If homework is not given daily, how can the child reinforce what is being taught by the teacher. My child will not attend this school next year. This is his first and final year at this school

Lincoln Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP EVAP is very hard to set the monitor. You fuel level must be 1/4 to 3/4 tank,IAT must be above 40 deg F and if you cycle the ignition switch off before it runs you have to have a 6 hour cool down period before it will attempt to run again. Are you getting any codes other than P1000? It will be very hard at 19 degrees. The IAT or ACT will rise some due to engine heat but I don't know if you can get it to 40 degrees are not. Do they not allow you just one monitor not completed for emissions? You can tell when a monitor completes with it correct? Can you see data with it? You can try and use some card board to retain the heat. Try blocking fresh cold air from getting straight into the air box tube. See where I have it circled in this pic. Try to see if you can keep the fresh cold air from it where it is mainly drawing the warm engine compartment air. You can also maybe block half of the radiator opening off with cardboard so it runs a little hotter. You will have to make sure you have more than 1/4 tank of fuel but less than 3/4.Let it set for over 6 hours to complete the cool down cycle. You will then need to drive it between 40 to 80 mph at about 20 to 70% load and do a couple of 10 to 20 mph decels during this run. Remember this monitor will only attempt to run once during a drive cycle so if you cycle the switch off you will have to wait another 6 hours before you can repeat. The use your code reader to see if the P1000 clears.

GSA takes fresh look at contract for FedBizOpps.gov - By Jason Miller - May 14, 2007 The General Services Administration earlier this month finally decided to comply with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims September ruling and reopen the contract to revamp Federal Business Opportunities Web site to the four bidders in the competitive range. A GSA spokesman said the agency has established a new cost structure for updating the federal procurement portal, contacted the four vendors to make sure they still are interested after three years, and appointed a new official in charge of reviewing the bids. “We expect an award this summer,” the spokesman said. “The source selection authority is reviewing the evaluations and will make an award decision as to the proposal that represents the best value to the United States.” U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Susan Braden denied the government’s request in March for reconsideration of three provisions in her September 2006 ruling. Braden asked the government to appoint a new source selection authority to re-evaluate bids. Braden concluded that GSA had incorrectly calculated the bid from Symplicity, the winning vendor, when it awarded the company a $17.4 million contract in December 2005. “We responded to their request and are still involved in the procurement,” a Symplicity spokesman said. GSA issued a request for proposals to upgrade FedBizOpps in May 2004 and accepted proposals the following June. But since then, GSA has spent three years responding to protests. GSA could have appealed the judge’s ruling. “Given the procurement status, we are pleased that GSA appears to be moving forward,” said Peter Gallagher, president of Development InfoStructure, one of the two vendors that protested the GSA award to Symplicity. “[We are] pleased to continue our involvement with this procurement and look forward to new source selection authorities decision,” said Peter Fogelsanger, a director with Aquilent. Officials from Information Sciences, the fourth bidder and incumbent contractor, were not immediately available for comment.

A Guest Post by Glen Allsopp from ViperChill. There’s a ton of advice in the blogosphere about how to increase the size of your blog audience and become an A-lister. There is far less advice though on how to deal with such a large readership and the changes that come with it. While I don’t consider myself an A-lister, my blog is closing in on the 10,000 subscribers mark after less than a year since launch, and quite a few things have changed from when I had a much smaller audience. Some of these are good, some are bad, and others are completely what you make of them. This is simply my guide on the things to expect and possibly watch out for. Growth which Snowballs The first few months with blogging are generally the toughest. If you’re not learning how to tweak your design and implement good on-site SEO you’re trying to establish yourself in your niche and build relationships. Growth at this time can seem slow or even stagnant. Thankfully, it does get much easier. Once you have built an audience you have more people to naturally share your posts for you, buy your products, and help spread your brand. When I grew my old personal development blog to 500 subscribers it took me 7 months of non-stop hard work. Yet, in the next 5 months after that, thanks to this snowball growth effect, the blog had over 4,000 subscribers. The bigger you get, the bigger the growth spurts tend to become as well. I’m very fortunate to have built a following of people who are very positive and thankful for the effort that I put into my articles. However, as with any project that grows large, I’ve faced public criticism as well. This didn’t seem to happen based on anything I did but came about when my audience hit a certain threshold, resulting in feedback that was seemingly random. Some people say things like “you’re just trying to be like X blogger”, “you’re scamming people” (even though I have no ads or affiliate links) or they may claim I’m lying when I write about certain figures, even after posting screenshots of everything I do. At the end of the day, criticism is something you should come not only to expect, but forget. If there’s something negative out there about you that you agree with and can change, then do so. Otherwise, leave the internet trolls to do their thing and continue doing what you do. It’s not just in the blogosphere where this happens of course, but in all areas of life. Look at the launch of the iPhone 4 as an example. It was Apple’s most popular product launch in their history and has less refunds than any other iPhone by far, yet every tech blog is jumping on the bandwagon about the issues it appears to have. Whether you believe Apple should be scorned or not, you can’t deny that it seems that the more popular a person or company gets, the more people want to take them down. At certain times I like to remind myself of a quote my Sean Stephenson which is quite relevant to this situation: “What people say about you is none of your business.” A Rise in Reader Communications As much as I didn’t want to do this, I’ve had to make it significantly harder to get in touch with me over the last few months. First of all, I stopped returning follows on Twitter and went from following over 3,000 people to less than 100. If you follow someone they can send you a direct message (DM) and I simply couldn’t respond to even half of them. I can’t imagine how other people who have much bigger audiences deal with it. I then had to create a new Skype account as people were using the ‘find by email’ feature and adding me personally. As I give away my Skype address frequently when buying new websites, I would sometimes be flooded with support requests because I couldn’t tell if someone was a blog reader or they were selling a website I was interested in. Finally, I made my contact form much less inviting and put my email address right at the bottom of the page. I hate that I had to do this one the most, but I think people would rather find it harder to contact me than spend time writing a request for help that I simply can’t fulfil. Of course, I still respond to many emails and I try to reply to every single blog comment I receive, which can take hours each week, but I can’t keep up with the other communication channels. Similar to my last point, people can be very vocal on social media platforms if they get in touch with you and you don’t reply — even if it’s just a day or two later. If you have time to respond to everyone then that’s great but make sure you’re prioritising tasks (writing posts, tweaking your site) and not trying to be everywhere to please everyone. My simply philosophy is that I would rather spend a few hours writing an article which helps thousands of people than spending hours in my inbox helping only a few. Higher Expectations from your Audience When I said there would be points which you can view in your own way, this is what I was mostly referring to. This may just be a personal feeling and not something other large bloggers can relate to, but I definitely think people have higher expectations of the information and ideas I share after following my work for a while. I personally see this as a good thing as I don’t want to stand behind work which I believe to be mediocre so I’m reminded to produce valuable content. You may see it as added pressure to publish only your best articles but realise that your audience just wants the same great value that they’re used to. When asked how he dealt with the pressure of his fans, rapper Lil Wayne simply said: “I would rather have the pressure of fans wanting me to do well then the pressure of running from police or something like that. Fan pressure is good pressure.” When you start out you can make “mistakes” you wouldn’t normally do like fill your site with ads, write reviews just for money or publish guest posts which are of a far lower standard to the content you usually put out here. Once you grow though, the reaction to those kinds of mistakes can be a loud voice in the online space. I love growing my audience for the obvious benefits such as: - Having more eyeballs on my content - Having more people who can share my content - Connecting with a bigger audience - Being able to make more money - Having a bigger influence These are all great advantages to becoming a bigger blogger, so definitely don’t just focus on the points that I’ve highlighted above. Just become aware of what you may have to deal with as your site does begin to grow. At the very least, if you do experience these things, now you know you’re not alone.

It's a decent amplifier, but priced against stiff competition Sophisticated control system fast and direct sound excellent build and styling Lacks the insight and authority of the best at this price Linn's new integrated amplifier, the Majik-I, is more sophisticated than its simple, yet undoubtedly elegant appearance suggests. For starters it comes complete with a decent quality moving-magnet phono stage, which is something of a rarity these days (see panel for more). You can also configure each of the five line-level inputs to a specific source by naming the input appropriately and adjusting the relative volume level to suit differing output levels. Other neat touches include a front-panel-mounted 3.5mm input jack for those who want to listen to their MP3 players through the main hi-fi, and the ability to accept modules that make active operation possible with Linn's own loudspeakers. Watching its weightThe Majik-I feels lightweight compared with most of the established competition or even, for that matter, the Cambridge 840A v2 (reviewed this issue p12), which costs only half as much. any people equate weight with quality: in this case that would be a mistake. The low weight is in part due to the use of a switched-mode power supply instead of he more conventional (heavy) transformer-based designs that most rivals employ. Get past the lack of weight and there is much evidence of good-quality build. Fit and finish is every bit as impressive as you'd expect at this price level, and the feel of the minimalfront-panel controls is classy, too. Chip-amp and ChakraThe Majik-I's power amplifier circuits are based around Linn's Chakra design, where a single chip-amp is used in combination with a number of external tran-sistors, which are used as boosters. At low volumes, the chip-amp does all the work, leaving the tran-sistors to deliver the muscle as the volume level rises. More after the break The idea works well to a point, with the Majik-I delivering a fast and punchy performance with Radiohead's The Bends. The Linn majors on giving a direct, ard-hitting sound with a good sense of rhythmic drive. A certain richness missing So far so good, but the Majik-I isn't so skilful at delivering very low-level detail or the natural richness in a recording. Even a full-bodied disc such as the first The Lord of the Rings OST sounds overly dry and just a little clipped. There isn't he space, low-level detail or bass power we'd expect at this price. The Majik-I is an enjoyable amplifier, but in pricing it against the likes of Primare's I-30 and AVI's Laboratory Series, Linn has forced this little amp to bite off more than it can chew.

Ning is laying off 40% of its staff and dumping free versions of its service. That’s a shitty day for the people who lost their job and the folks left behind without their coworkers. I went through a few rounds back in the dotcom days and fun it was not. But I can’t help but be puzzled by the coverage of this. Here’s TechCrunch on the situation: While the massive layoffs are obviously a big hit to the company, it isn’t all bad news for Ning: the service is still seeing its traffic grow according to comScore. But traffic growth is no longer good enough for the company — it needs to start generating some serious revenue, and advertising clearly isn’t cutting it. Are you kidding me? The company has blown through $120MM of VC funding over six years, built up massive traffic, yet just had to slash and burn, and you’re saying that “traffic growth is no longer good enough”. How the hell was it ever good enough? Ning’s problem is not a lack of eyeballs but its inability to turn them into cash money to pay the bills. Getting more of something that’s a net-negative is not going to make up for it. That was always their problem. From day one. Just like it’s any other business’ problem. Acting all shocked and surprised now is just incredibly ignorant of our industry’s very recent past. This is the same kind of ignorance that goes on to celebrate so-called businesses successes before they posted black numbers on the balance sheet. Until that happens it’s all conjecture and possible maybes. The just-give-it-away-for-free-and-they-will-come-and-we’ll-be-rich automatron is as broken now as it was in 2001. UPDATE: Just found this fantastic piece of cheerleader reporting from Business Insider from just last year: “Build-your-own-Facebook startup Ning is still on fire… How much money is Ning making with all that traffic? Bianchini wouldn’t comment. But by our back-of-the-envelope calculations, Ning could be on a nearly $10 million annual”. Oh boy.

This screening was part of Film Society of Lincoln Center’s annual Scary Movies series, for more information regarding the series – including upcoming screenings – go here. This review will contain minor spoilers. Prior to our screening, Eli Roth was on hand to do an introduction to the film in which he prepared the audience for what they would be seeing, including surveying the audience for those familiar with “cannibal” films. He also offered an anecdote regarding showing the Peruvian villagers of his own film Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust and how willing they were to become extras in his film after doing so. He said that they thought they were acting in a comedy. They were unfortunately right. I should probably start by stating that I’m not much of a fan of Eli Roth’s previous work, though I do admire his intentions and feel that he is absolutely a genuine fan of the genre and films he pays homage to. Mere good intentions do not a good film make however, and The Green Inferno is proof of that. Like Cabin Fever and the two Hostel films that followed it, The Green Inferno is best viewed as a sort of cinematic equivalent to a mix-tape that landed in the hands of the wrong recipient. The premise of the film is as simple as they come (and it really doesn’t need to be more than that), and leads organically into the chaos that results in the 2nd and 3rd acts. We are introduced to Justine (Lorenza Izzo) as an idealistic college student with a burn-out roomate (Sky Ferreira), who decides to go on an adventure to the Amazon with a school activist group headed by the super suave Alejandro (Ariel Levy) to attempt to stop deforestation in the rain forest. Everything is downhill from there. Roth does handle the first act fairly well. There is a lot of build up to what we have come to see, but none of it feels superfluous. We genuinely get to know our characters, it’s just unfortunate that almost all of them are unlikeable and/or delivered with bad performances. The worst of the bunch is Sky Ferreira as Kaycee, who luckily is only in the first and last portions of the film but it certainly doesn’t start things off on a good note and her interactions with Justine only serve to show how much superior an actress Lorenza Izzo is. Areil Levy does a good job being a charismatic douchebag and the rest of the cast play their privileged, convicted white youths well enough. At least for the time they remain on screen. Here is where some serious spoilers come in, so if you want to see this without knowing how/when folks are going to meet their eventual demise, stop reading. When I first read that Eli Roth was making a cannibal movie, after my initial eyeroll I became legitimately excited to see how he was going to dispatch everyone. If anything, Roth excels at finding creative ways to kill off any living thing in his films and a tribe of headhunters could only make things more interesting, right? Well, yes and no. The major problem we end up with in The Green Inferno is that a huge percentage of the principal cast is killed in a plane crash about halfway through the feature’s 103 minute run time. The crash is intense and has gory results, but it’s hard to not feel at least a little bit cheated, even when there are branches going through heads. And then the cannibals come. The Green Inferno hits a stride after the plane crash, at least for a few minutes. The cannibal’s introduction is swift and brutal and leads to the most gruesome setpiece of the flick. The effects here are courtesy of Greg Nicotero and crew and they’re some of their best work in recent memory. What The Green Inferno may lack in quantity of cannibal related deaths, it makes up for in quality. We may not be in Lenzi or Deodato territory, but we are certainly closer than we have been in many years and it feels pretty damned good while it lasts. And here come my major issues regarding The Green Inferno. Once the cannibals are introduced, the mood becomes dark, really dark. And I expected it to stay that way. But it doesn’t. At all. It becomes a comedy. I don’t mean that it has touches of dark humor here and there, I mean that the prisoners start masturbating and shitting in their cage and are met with punchlines. I mean that a big crux of the last act involves a baggie of marijuana and the munchies. I mean that Eli Roth all but lost me in the last twenty minutes and never got me back. The Green Inferno isn’t a terrible film and it may even be the best thing that Roth has done thus far, but for better or worse it’s not the cannibal films you or I grew up with. Certain staples of the genre are gone but not missed (animal cruelty being numero uno) but what is sorely missing is the exploitative zeal of the films from the 70s and 80s, which is something I’d expected someone like Roth to capitalize on. What we have here is perhaps a well intentioned and genuine attempt at revitalizing an all but lost sub-genre, but the end result just feels like leftovers. And after this much time has passed, I don’t want them.

Hope Floats Soundtrack Confusion? I keep seeing posts that make it sound like there are 2 versions of Make You Feel My Love on the same soundtrack, 1 by Garth and 1 by Trisha?????!!!!! This sounds really odd to me that they would have the same song on 1 cd twice!! When will this be released so we can finally clear this up? <p>I heard Garth say in the Live interview last week that this would be his first time on a movie soundtrack so I know he's on it, but there are so many blurbs flying around I don't know what to expect. <p>Also, has anyone heard about some country artist compilation CD for a charity that Garth has a song on? I only heard the tail end of a conversation on the radio about it, but didn't get all the details.N <p>Victoria Shaw wrote a song to benefit Cystic Fibrosis research, and she asked a bunch of her friends and colleagues to sing this song. Garth is one of the singers, along with Neal McCoy, Bryan White...the list goes on, but I can't remember who else. It's supposed to be released as a single. There are two versions of To Make You Feel My Love on the Hope Floats soundtrack. I am not sure of the release date but Garth's version is number 1 on the cd and Trisha's is the last song on the cd. I heard them both played on the nationl radio show After Midnight this morning (last night). It is the same song as Garth has on The Limited Series as far as Trisha's version they played it twice because they had a poll as to who liked it best and Trisha won. I was shocked because I didn't think her version was very good at all. I really like most of her music but why they wanted two versions of this song I will never know. Of course remember How do I live with her and Leann Rimes. N The release date for the Hope Floats soundtrack is May 19th; at least that's what it says in Country Weekly. I also saw the video last night for the group song that Victoria Shaw wrote; it has Victoria Shaw, Garth, Bryan White, Neal McCoy, Faith Hill, Marty Roe?, and another man, who I'm not sure of his name. It's a very sweet song.N Billy Dean is also in the video for the Cystic Fibrosis research.N I went out and bought the soundtrack today. As someone said before, both Garth and Trisha's versions are on the same CD. I believe that Don Was said it was because there is a part in the movie that the song by da man was featured and someohow didn't fit. They then asked Trisha and she, in fact gave it the female perspective that they were looking for during that particular scene w/ <p>I have to say that I love Garth's version by FAR . I know some may say it is biased on my part, but I FEEL that his version is more from the heart......it has this ability to go straight to the heart.....just hearing "When the rain is blowing in your face........" BULLSEYE! <p>Thanks for listening and take care. CristinaN

We use Sweet-ease for brief procedures (lab draw/IV start) lasting less than a few minutes long. I think we have to use it within 1 minute before the procedure. Also have to document it as a pain intervention, pain score, and follow up pain score after the fact. Personally I do not use them with infants who have suspected abdominal issue/NEC/etc. Others say it 'absorbs into the subglossal membranes only' but I don't really want to take the risk. To each their own I suppose. Sweet-ease are not to be used for a crying/fussy infant.... Although sometimes I wish it was allowed for those term/NPO babies, but don't we all? Our facility recently changed our policy on Sweet Ease. We can use it, under protocol, for IV starts, circumcisions, infants that are NAS, whether or not replacement therapy is still continuing....and for any infant having a wound that is healing, dressing change, etc. Other than that, it requires an order, but I can't imagine when else it would be used. Short term procedural pain as mentioned by others except we do not use it for neonatal abstinence syndrome babies (I suppose to not mask the effects of their withdrawal medication). Lab sticks, IV sticks, circumcision are our main uses. We have used it for helping with PICC placement and with wound dressing changes. We do not use it for babies who are NPO/NEC (the high osmolarity is bad for their gut) or are less than 32 weeks without an order (same gut reason I think as well as their swallowing/gag reflex ability... it has to be placed on the tip of their tongue to actually work.). We use 10 pacifier dips for term babies (38+ weeks) and 5 dips for preemies and apply it to the tip of their tongue and wait 2 minutes before starting the painful procedure. We also use swaddling whenever possible and keeping lights low (cover their eyes from lights with a cloth, etc.) during the procedure. We are not supposed to use it more often than once every 6 hours, we must discard the container after using it (not keep it at bedside since the pacifier has mouth bacteria on saliva which can grow in the sugar in the SweetEase. We never use it to soothe a fussy baby for fear of masking an actual problem that needs addressing. Also it only works best for the first 30 days of life or so I think...

With a No. 1 contender bout already set between Brock Lesner and Alistar Overeem at UFC 141 and the eventual dissolution of the Strikeforce heavyweight division, the UFC heavyweights have never been more competitive. While it is likely the winner of the Strikeforce Grand Prix will get a shot at the UFC belt, and with Frank Mir right on the cusp of a title shot after his third-straight win over a top-level fighter, no one is guaranteed a title shot and nothing has been written in stone. All that said, now is a better time than ever to find out exactly who is the true No. 1 contender for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Some might see the Strikeforce attempt as a bust, but if anyone could pull it off it would be the UFC, given that they put on far more events and exercise much more control over matchmaking than Strikeforce ever did. So let's take a look the way such a tournament would stack up and what eight fighters would be best suited for it.

Venom From World’s Deadliest Spider Could Cure Limp Dick in 20 minutes According to the Daily Mail: It sounds like a most unlikely aphrodisiac. But scientists have discovered the venom from what’s considered the world’s deadliest spider could be the secret to bolstering a man’s love life. Toxins produced by the Brazilian Wandering Spider, or Phoneutria nigriventer, appear to combat erectile dysfunction within 20 minutes of entering the body. Tests carried out on rats show the venom boosts performance by increasing the release of nitric oxide, a chemical that dilates blood vessels and improves blood flow. This is similar to how existing impotence drugs work. Researchers from Brazil and the US extracted the toxin, called PnTx2-6, from the deadly venom and injected it into rats which had age-related erectile dysfunction. They found the toxin boosted erections by triggering the release of nitric oxide, which boosts circulation in the male genitals by helping blood vessel walls relax. In a report on their findings, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, the researchers said: ‘The decrease in erectile function associated with age was partially restored 15 to 20 minutes after injection with PnTx2-6.’ Although everyone probably already knows that I'm not a medical doctor, I still get a ton of emails in the Ask a Bro mailbag from dudes that can't get there dick to function properly. From now on I'm going to refer them to this. Magical spider boner venom may not be on the market yet, but this news means that there's at least hope for that listless penis of yours. And hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. Except if it gets bit by a Brazilian Wandering Sprider, in that case it dies almost instantly.

Posts Tagged Einstein Yes, according to the CERN scientists from Geneva. Scientists at the world’s largest physics lab say they have clocked subatomic particles traveling faster than light, a feat that – if true – would break a fundamental pillar of science. The readings have so astounded researchers that they are asking others to independently verify the measurements before claiming an actual discovery. “This would be such a sensational discovery if it were true that one has to treat it extremely carefully,” said John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, who was not involved in the experiment. Nothing is supposed to move faster than light, at least according to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity: The famous E (equals) mc2 equation. That stands for energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. But neutrinos – one of the strangest well-known particles in physics – have now been observed smashing past this cosmic speed barrier of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers). CERN says a neutrino beam fired from a particle accelerator near Geneva to a lab 454 miles (730 kilometers) away in Italy traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light. Scientists calculated the margin of error at just 10 nanoseconds, making the difference statistically significant. But given the enormity of the find, they still spent months checking and rechecking their results to make sure there was no flaws in the experiment. The CERN researchers are now looking to the United States and Japan to confirm the results.

Desire to become self-sufficient and self-reliant, an urge to grow and a keen sense of adventure are the main reasons for one to uproot oneself from one's homeland and migrate to distant places. In some cases it can even be that the homeland does not offer enough opportunities of work or avenues to one's personal and professional growth that one opts to migrate. In extreme cases, man can also be akin to migratory birds who fly from one continent to another, simply because they have to survive the onslaught of nature's fury and when situation is normal, they fly back "home". Political upheavals are another cause for man to leave one's homeland. Eventually, it is a case of socio-economic imbalance that motivates or forces a person to migrate and move on. The migration may be from a village to a town or from a town to a big city. With the world becoming a small global village, migration from one country to another has taken place in a large scale in the last 250 years. One may also feel that as a process of one's evolution and personal growth, migration eventually becomes a necessary step. Yet, everyone does not take this step. It is taken by either those who are willing to pay the price for what they desire to achieve or by foolhardy adventurers who believe that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. People in the latter category, in most cases, are lazy, procrastinators and pure opportunists who want to get things without making any efforts. Alien land is not the homeland. As my grandma would say, when I migrated from Delhi to Bombay "Pardes mein pani badal jaata hai ... log badal jate hain" (Water changes in the alien land thereby people change). It is true there is a marked difference in the environment, people, culture, language and living patterns. It takes a long time for one to adjust to this new environment. For the locals to trust a new face is not easy and neither is easy for the "new" face to immediately feel a sense of belonging with the locals. From finding a job to a roof to call "home" one finds oneself to be vulnerable and victim of circumstance. An aura of insecurity and uncertainty looms large all the time. And for a majority of migratory "birds" it is frustrating and discomforting. History is witness to the fact, however, that those who chose to migrate and remained aware of the price to be paid are the ones who made the process of migration a successful one. They upgraded by adapting, further education and hard work to become one with the mainstream of society - even in an alien land. Necessitated by the survival instinct, the successful immigrants are found to shed their erstwhile inhibitions and exhibit tremendous willingness to undertake jobs, which they would have otherwise shunned in their homeland. The concept of dignity of labor becomes clearer and the meaning of life crystallizes. Some may call this adaptability self-sacrifice, but in truth it is a stepping stone towards a prosperous and happy life for their immediate families and future generations. I have been an immigrant myself. First, when I with my wife migrated from Delhi to Bombay at the age of 25 and second from Bombay to New York at the age of 38. The latter time with two children, then 10 and 9 respectively. On both occasions it was total chaos and confusion. A Punjabi was not easily acceptable by the Marathas and Gujjus of Bombay; an Indian was vulnerable and an alien in the land of opportunities. We did have to pay that price of rehabilitation and undergo many tests of adaptability, adjustments and uncertainties. But, on both occasions, we achieved what we had aspired and dreamt of. A better life style, a better future for our children and a tremendous sense of self-satisfaction. Indeed, like the migratory birds, we dared!. We soared and treaded the untried and uncertain path ... and we enjoyed weaving again our dream nest, that we call home.

Kevin Smith continues to wait on "Clerks III" in favor of filming off-the-wall horror flicks. The writer, director and Silent Bob actor's latest venture? A holiday-themed scarefest called "Comes the Krampus," based off the European Christmas beast who is said to capture naughty children and carry them in a sack to his lair. "We're gonna shoot 'Comes the Krampus' in April, before Clerks III," Smith said on Reddit Thursday, adding that only he can make the "Clerks" flick, but anyone can make a Krampus movie and he wants to do it before others snatch the idea. Smith and Andy McElfresh co-wrote the new film, with Smith, Jason Mewes (the Jay to his Silent Bob) and Smith's wife Jennifer Schwalbach directing portions, he said a few weeks ago on his blog. The creepy yuletide monster film comes after 2013's "Tusk," another horror show from the Middletown native that involves a man being forcibly sewn into a walrus suit. In the Reddit AMA, Smith wrote that because the "Clerks" franchise began 20 years ago, he feels that making a new one right now, after he recently finished "Tusk" would be a "step backwards." "No matter how bold I make it, 'Clerks III' will always have a number in the title," Smith wrote. But he assured fans that the film will be shot, even if it won't be ready for the 20th anniversary of "Clerks" later this year, as he said at New York ComicCon in October. "Clerks III is still coming," he wrote. "I love the script so much, I'll make it happen, I promise. But the muse (and the Mewes) is pulling me away from something old for the moment and pulling me toward something new." So, for now, when "Clerks III" will actually be filmed is anyone's guess. It might be on deck for Smith, unless an idea about a rabid Easter Bunny with rotten eggs or an evil Thanksgiving turkey pops into his head. And where does this "Helena Handbag" production featuring a "giant Jesus" he wrote about last month fit into all of this? Side note: Would anyone mind a "Krampus and Silent Bob" flick? Yeah, didn't think so.

Teen on hacking charges With just a few touches of the keyboard, he can create absolute havoc. Reuben - not his real name, because he is facing computer hacking-related charges in Auckland's Youth Court - is a new breed of digital delinquent: young, smart and with the power to unlock all your secrets. His passion for the internet started at the age of 6. "I did lots of wagging from primary schools and intermediate schools to stay home and work on the computer," he told the Herald on Sunday. Reuben, now 16, doesn't go to school any more - he left his last school Auckland Grammar after a term because, as he says: "I didn't fit in." Since then he has completed numerous Microsoft courses. "That's easy, but school work is so boring it is not worth doing, but I know I have to do it sometime." So now he is slowly working through the NCEA via correspondence, leaving him plenty of time to surf the internet "26 hours a day", he jokes. He is reluctant to talk about exactly what he does, only saying he spends a lot of time chatting to friends. But in just a few short years, he has gained notoriety for his online activities - and learned a great deal. For example, he has managed to become the director of five companies, despite being under the age of 18. It was easy, he says. He just filled in the forms and sent them away, and no one in the Companies Office queried his identity or his age. Now Reuben is accused of exposing flaws in Telecom's cellphone and landline message systems that police say saw him access the voicemail of police, defence staff and politicians, including Auckland mayor Dick Hubbard. He has been charged with the unauthorised access of a computer and will appear in the Auckland Youth Court on July 14. He is also accused of using his computer smarts to set up a company which obtained the management rights to a $1 million-plus radio frequency mistakenly deregistered by Sky Television. On that, he is facing charges brought by the National Enforcement Unit of the Ministry of Economic Development. He also appears on those charges on July 14. The unit declined to comment on the case. Reuben also won't comment on specifics, but he claims he is not a hacker, and has not been being deliberately malicious. Rather, he was just letting the public know how easy it was to gain access to information on the internet. "If I shouldn't be in there, why is it so easy to get in?" By Adrienne Kohler The New Zealand Herald

Earlier today, the 9th Annual NRJ Awards got underway over in Cannes, France. And the fashion on the red carpet looks to be top-notch. Rihanna showed up at the gig looking gorgeous as usual. The “Umbrella” singer was wearing a flowy grey dress that fell just right to accentuate her curves, along with a pair of strappy heels. Never one to disappoint in the apparel department, Kylie Minogue was looking fabulous in a multi-colored dress that was an assault on the senses, accented with a black waist sash and some peep-toe pumps. The list of nominees is as follows: International Revelation of the Year • Amy Winehouse • Fall Out Boy • Plain White T's • Sean Kingston

I am a young writer, 19 at the time of writing this, and I just cannot achieve any progress with any of my work. I have written two novels. The first one, I know, is a fairly trashy effort and was just to see whether I could achieve a full length novel with a plot that made sense. I did not seek publication. However, I loved doing it so much I decided to try a second one. I did the next one by the book, making sure I read the genre and understood the conventions, putting it away for several months and then reworking it with fresh eyes, and making sure it was the best I could make it. Now, when submitting for consideration by an agent, I can't even get past a query letter. Sure, perhaps my query is letter is trash, but I think it's fairly consistent with successful ones yourself and Miss Snark etc have posted.I know I'm not the next Dan Brown or Stephen King, and neither do I want to be, but I would like the chance to try to be a writer. So I guess my question comes down to how I might attract attention from an agent/publisher without any qualifications or credentials and a lack of "adult" world experience? (that last one I have been told by a rejecting agent). Should I draw attention to school and university based achievements, such as being part of an International Honour Society for Academic Excellence, or does that just sound trivial and make it seem like I'm bignoting myself? Your age is a problem. Not because you're not necessarily a good writer - I don't know if you are or not - but because it sounds as though you're writing for adults, not teenagers, and no adult wants to read a teenager's take on the world unless they have a specific interest in young adult fiction. You as a teenaged writer would be almost an impossible sell for a publisher to booksellers and for booksellers to customers. Here's the good part: you're going to turn 20 soon. And then 21. Both of these ages are probably more palatable to an agent and publisher. So just wait, and while you wait, work at your craft. Most published first novels are not first novels - they're third, fourth or fifth novels. You have time on your side - what a gift! Make the most of it.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (CBS) – A national magazine just released a list of the top ten boardwalks in the country and two along the Jersey Shore were honored. Atlantic City and Wildwood were given top ten honors by National Geographic as having two of the nation’s most popular boardwalks (see the full list here). Margaret Loftus, contributing editor at the magazine, put the list together. She calls Atlantic City’s the “grandfather of boardwalks”: “The first wooden planks were laid in Atlantic City in 1870 to curb the amount of sand beachcombers tracked into the train and hotel lobbies.” Loftus says there is plenty to do on Wildwood’s boardwalk and it is truly unique, “It was interesting because of its architecture, known as “doo-wop” architecture. And we just also thought it was pretty much one of the kitschiest boardwalks in the country.” Ben Rose, with Wildwoods Tourism Department, is happy to see the boardwalk get its recognition, “A lot of organizations do come to the Wildwoods and look at our boardwalk as an example of what a true Jersey Shore boardwalk is all about.” He says he’s glad word has spread, “The national audience will now know exactly what our nine million visitors a year experience.” News of the honor had Maureen Siman, with Atlantic City Tourism, very excited, “(I’m) absolutely thrilled for one of our biggest assets and a historic asset. Other cities around the country have modeled their boardwalks off of Atlantic City’s original boardwalk. Because, as you know, we were the first in the country to build a boardwalk.” Reported by Tim Jimenez, KYW Newsradio 1060

The Vogue Summer Beach Hair with James Pecis editorial draws explicit attention to varying coifs. Pecis did so with a mind for relaxed poolside looks, a theme that has much appeal for current readers of the magazine in search of braided inspiration. Pecis put together an assortment of looks for this photoshoot. Whether done up tight in a high ponytail or hanging loosely over the shoulders of model Ondria Hardin, he ensured that her tresses were soft and smoothed out, mimicking the locks that one would often find near sandy shores. Hair was not the only focus of this Vogue production. In addition to the curls and waves, Hardin also sported a sheer visor, retro tennis apparel and a classic polka dot bathing suit.

Armenia’s antitrust commission fines Tsaritsino meat factory for unfair competition YEREVAN, July 10. /ARKA/. Armenia’s State Commission for protection of Economic Competition has imposed a fine of 1% of the revenue on Tsaritsino meat processing factory for unfair competition, the press office of the commission reported. During its studies, the antitrust commission found out a case of unfair competition in the market. In particular, Tsaritsino meat processing factory disseminated an add saying the factory’s products are made only from fresh local meat and natural ingredients. Based on customer complaints, the commission requested the factory to provide information about ingredients involved in pricing and the respective procurement documentation. After having studied the information, the commission found out the ad is not true as no justification was provided on local raw meat procurements, says the report. The commission has repeatedly urged companies to provide only reliable and full information to customers about products. Bearing in mind a number of criteria in the legislation, the antitrust commission has decided to impose a fine of 1% of the revenue on Tsaritsino meat processing factory and bind the company to rule out the violation and relabel the products. –0--

Blogging with jokes, huh. You might be thinking that it is something new or something idiotic but let me correct you it is not as idiotic as you might think. Whenever you start writing a post, what do you do at the very beginning ? The first thing you will do is research the topic you are going to blog about. After getting all the required material, you start writing a post and complete it. But do you include one thing in your post that each and every person likes? Here I am talking about adding some jokes. By jokes, I don’t mean you add Santa-Banta jokes; I mean that adding a little humor in your post will make it more worthwhile and your readers will find it more enjoyable to read. But the biggest question here is what’s the need of adding humor in the blog post? Why is it necessary to add a comic sarcasm to your post? Blogging with Jokes adds a Human Touch Successful bloggers always emphasize how important it is for us to connect with our readers. And I agree, this is one of the most important things a blogger should take care of. What better way to connect with your audience than to make them smile? If you are blogging with jokes, then your readers will love reading your posts. They will feel that the post is written for humans not for search engines and by human not a robot. Don’t just write a post, but really get into it and let it flow out of you. Forget about SEO or search engines, just let your fingers work on the keyboard and everything will be taken care of. Forget about Post Optmization for a While This is one of those things that can eliminate the human feeling from your blog. While you’re writing a post, if you constantly keep worrying about the SEOPressor score, your writing might not sound natural. So how can you make your writing sound more natural – more human? For a while, forget about optimizing your blog posts and write the way you talk. Add a joke or two to lighten the mood, add a sarcastic note, or some interesting quotes etc. and you’ll begin to see the magic. No one get hurts if you are blogging with jokes This is one another great benefit when you are blogging with jokes. If you are not happy with a service and while writing a review about it, you feel like taking out all the frustration, then you can do that without even hurting the other party. If you point out some weakness of their’s in a joking manner, then that will be taken as a positive response and the owners of the service might work to improve on it. Similar is the case with other bloggers. Blogging is such a world where you must help out others but it’s not devoid of some iconic personalities who think they know everything. So it is natural that you might get bored when they interfere in your work. When taking a dig at such bloggers, you can serve your frustration with proper presentation so that he doesn’t feel bad but understands your meaning at the same time. That’s the power of blogging with jokes. It Gives Your Blog Some Balance Whenever you are writing a negative review about some service or some blogger, you present it in a funny way to avoid future collisions. But that can even help you if the other party doesn’t take it lightly. Maybe he too can start criticizing you among others, try to bring down your reputation, blah blah blah. But that can prove beneficial because the people or bloggers that know you will always stand by your side no matter what. The true bloggers will always support you because they love the way you are blogging with jokes. Your readers will never stop visiting your blog because they love your honest reviews. They will love your sarcastic tones and they might even appreciate your snarky point of view. I bet you’ll get more comments that will motivate you to keep the jokes coming and give your blog a well balanced personality. So what’s your take on blogging with jokes? Do you think that blogging with jokes helps us convey our feelings better without any risk of hurting anyone’s feelings? Do you think that every blogger should add humor to his posts to add a human feeling? Do let me know of what you think about it.

The U.S. Navy revealed yesterday that the Northrop Grumman MQ-8B Fire Scout is to be temporarily “decoupled” from the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program. The decision was taken so that the MQ-8B can be fielded on schedule, despite delays to the LCS. The Navy remains committed to deploying the MQ-8B aboard LCS at some stage, but is migrating the Fire Scout to another class of vessel in the interim. A decision on which class it will use is due in the coming days, with the FFG-7 frigate the most likely candidate. Northrop Grumman has delivered three of the 12 low-rate production MQ-8Bs currently on order for the Navy, with the fourth about to be handed over from its facility at Moss Point, Missouri. Up to 131 are required. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is set for FY09, and the decision to move away from the LCS keeps that date on track. Full operating capability is slated for 2010. In terms of payload, the Brite Star II EO/IR/laser turret is currently cleared, and the Cobra littoral mine detection system is on test. Funds have been requested in FY09 for integration of a maritime multi-mode radar. The MQ-8B is slated to gain weapons in the form of LOGIR IR-guided rocket, Viper Strike missile and a lightweight antisubmarine torpedo.

If there is one thing that almost all MLS fans would agree on, it is that Toronto FC is a train wreck of a club. Since entering the league in 2007 only once has the club got within sniffing distance of a play-off spot. From the start of its existence the team has been woefully short of competent leadership – someone who knew the game, who understood finances and probably more importantly possessed a finely-tuned bull-shit detector. After working through seven coaches in six years it looked like Toronto FC had finally woken…to read more please click this link.

Please do not disregard Jul 20, 2007 Dear Dr. Bob, Thank you for answer all these question and I was thinking I wish we had more poeple like you and your team on this globe. The question for you is how accurate and reliable is the oraquick is. I had one done yesterday while I am waiting for my blood test result to come back by today or tomorrow. (due to the fact that I am mixing my day and night bc of the stress of going through this screening). The OraQuick was Negative (Thank God) but then I searched more online and I have noticed the oral fluid one is not FDA apporoved. I have taken one of these before and the blood test after that and both were Negative. but now the more I read the more I start worriying. like to know your thoughts. Response from Dr. Frascino OraQuick (Blood, Plasma, or Oral Fluid test)is FDA approved and very reliable. (See below.) Oraquick Reliability? Mar 23, 2006 Please help relieve my over 3 months of anxiety and confusion and tell me if it is ok to "WOOHOO". I had an encounter on Nov 23rd (unprotected sex with a girl of unknown HIV status). About 9 weeks after the incident, I started feeling joint pains, muscle pains, etc,. but no fever. At week 15, I had an Oraquick blood prick test at an HIV/STD clinic - negative. The person giving the test pointed to the test and indicated that "the test shows I am REALLY negative, without a doubt". I dont know what that meant.. How reliable is the Oraquick blood prick test after 15 weeks? It is now almost 17 weeks and once in a while, I still get joint pains. No other symptoms like a fever, or diahrea, just these joint pains every so often, sometimes very painful, and then sometimes not there at all. Thanks for having this website, it has helped me through an extremely tough time in my life... just recently moved to America from Canada by myself and feeling very isolated and alone here. This website was very helpful to guide me through and give me the courage to have an HIV test. I commend you for the work and effort you are putting forth within the HIV/AIDS community. Response from Dr. Frascino Exactly what part of "The test shows you are REALLY negative, without a doubt" don't you understand? What do you mean you don't know what that means?!?!? A negative OraQuick at 15 weeks is considered definitive and conclusive. Whatever is causing your "symptoms," it's not HIV. So let me try to sum things up by saying: HIV IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM. K, it's time for you to stop worrying and get out and make some friends. After all, like Liza with a Z sings, "What good is sitting alone in your room. Come here the music play. Life is a Cabaret, oh Chum. So come to the Cabaret!" Dr. Bob (with a B) HIV 1 vs HIV2 RAPID TESTS Jan 26, 2005 What's the scoop on these quick HIV tests for diagnosing HIV-1 versus HIV-2. I think I may have had exposure to someone from West Africa yet I can't stand the thought of having to wait for test results. Then again I'm not really sure he was from West Africa or had contact with anyone from West Africa. The window period has passed, at least I think it's past. Now I just need to get the test done -- or maybe forget the whole thing? If I do get it done I really want to get it done rapidly.... very rapidly. You know like draw the blood, go drink a starbucks (or maybe smoke a joint) and then come back for the results in 20 minutes. Any chance I can do that .... wanna have a cup of coffee or a toke sometime soon... I could use the company and maybe an ativan prescription. Please send me some of your infalable good luck or maybe at least some ativan... i need it -- don't I?!? Response from Dr. Frascino What did the caption under your yearbook photo read? "I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure?" OK, here's the latest on rapid HIV tests. The original version of OraQuick Rapid HIV Antibody Test was approved in 2002 for the detection of antibody to HIV-1 in blood. In 2004, the FDA approved OraQuick Rapid HIV1/HIV2 Antibody Test for detection of HIV-2 (a variant of HIV that is prevalent in West Africa, but only rarely found in the USA) in blood. More recently, the FDA approved another rapid test to differentiate between HIV-1 and HIV-2. The single-use Multispot HIV1/HIV2 Rapid Test, produced by Bio-Rad Laboratories, detects circulating viral antibodies in blood. Its use is limited to approved clinical laboratories. Clinical studies have found it to be 100% sensitive and 99.93% specific. So, roll up that sleeve (and roll up that joint?); it's time for your indecision to decisively come to an end. You'll have your result even before an Ativan tab would have the chance to kick in! As for sending some of my infallible (or "infalable", for that matter) good luck, -- you got it! OK? And, regarding HIV-2, the chances are great that "you don't got it."

Former Culture Club front man Boy George has slammed same-sex ‘weddings’, insisting marriage is outdated and has no place in modern or gay culture. The singer, who wrote hit song Karma Chameleon, ridiculed Elton John and David Furnish’s decision to have a civil ceremony on December 21 last year – the first day British laws permitted the unions. He predicted many gay ‘marriages’ are destined for the divorce courts. He told the Evening Standard: “Gay unions, what is that all about? I haven’t been invited to any ceremonies and I wouldn’t go anyway. The idea that gay people have to mimic what obviously doesn’t work for straight people anymore, I think is a bit tragic.” “I’m looking forward to gay divorces.” The Eighties star, currently facing drugs charges in New York, meanwhile praised gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain, for bravely focusing on intimacy between two males. He said contemporary society continues to view gay relationships as purely sexual and sordid, and was amazed by Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger’s performances. “We live in a culture that pretends to accept and understand, but which doesn’t want to deal with the finer details of gay culture.” “Just because you have a few queers in Emmerdale, there is this myth that the world has become more tolerant. It doesn’t understand us at all.” “I have asked a lot of straight men about Brokeback Mountain and they said they couldn’t relate to it. I cried in my trailer, I was like, Oh my God, that is my life.” “It deals with intimacy, which is far more shocking than sex.”

This article contains a transcript of a debate between former CIA Acting General Counsel John Rizzo and human rights attorney Scott Horton, which occurred as a result of the criticism towards the Obama Administration for closing the investigation on the actions of CIA officials post 9/11. The debate is about the brutal methods the CIA used to capture and question potential threats to the U.S.; the evolvement of the CIA’s purpose (changing from defense of the country to becoming a killing drone); the issue of blame/prosecution for the actions of the CIA; and the question of whether or not the American people have a right to know about the CIA’s actions. While the debate moves back and forth between these different topics, it centers on whether or not the American people should be allowed to view all the actions of the CIA and the decisions the government has made concerning terrorists post 9/11. The main moral issue here is whether or not the government should be allowed to perform certain actions (i.e. kidnapping, torture, murder, etc.) against potential threats to the country in the name of the American people and for the (supposed) protection of the American people, without first telling them what they are doing. Further, another matter raised is whether or not it’s okay if other countries perform the same methods of interrogation on Americans as the U.S. has done on certain foreigners, and if they do, should the U.S. be allowed to make a case against it when they are doing the same thing. Student Researcher- Yusra Qureshi Faculty Evaluator- Elliot D. Cohen, PhD. Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, “A Debate on Torture: Legal Architect of CIA Secret Prisons, Rendition vs. Human Rights Attorney ,” Truthout, March 31, 2014 http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22789-a-debate-on-torture-legal-architect-of-cia-secret-prisons-rendition-vs-human-rights-attorney The United States is respected for its fair and humane treatment of its citizens. However, after the September 11th terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in 2001, the U.S. has acted in ways that are anything but humane. According to the article, “A Debate on Torture: Legal Architect of CIA Secrets Prisons, Renditions vs. Human Rights Attorney”, the CIA has changed from being an intelligence force to becoming a “drone of killing.” This is an ethical issue because the CIA has taken to torturing and/or killing “persons of interest” or people who are potential threats to America; this is unethical because torture for any reason is wrong. This new purpose of the American government is wholly unethical because the officials responsible are not being prosecuted, the American people are not being told what is being done in their name, and other countries are not allowed to behave in the same way as America without receiving repercussions for their actions. After the 9/11 terrorist attack, the American government and people were extremely shaken, because they weren’t expecting such a severe attack to such a monumental place in their country. In the aftermath of the attack, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was tasked with finding people who wanted to strike out against America, and also with finding people who knew pertinent information about terrorist attacks. The means of how to find these people and how to get information out of them was not restricted or regulated under the Bush administration. President George W. Bush openly stated that torture (i.e. water boarding) was a legitimate method used to extract information from suspected terrorist or their affiliates. The ethical issue here is that torture committed by an individual in a house or a basement or anywhere in this country is punishable by the law; however, what is the course of action when the legal authority is doing the torturing? Does torture suddenly becoming tolerable, acceptable, normal, when government officials are performing it? From an ethical perspective, no, it does not, because torture is not humane and devalues a person, no matter who is doing the torturing, no matter how sound the reason may be. It is also wrong that none of the higher ranked officials ever get prosecuted for orchestrating a torture session; the Obama administration has closed the investigation of the CIA for its post 9/11 actions. However, lower ranked U.S. government officials have been caught, prosecuted, and convicted for torturing persons of interest, when they were just following orders from their superiors, so why were their superiors not also convicted? The actions of the CIA post 9/11 were unethical; but the inactions of today regarding failure to prosecute these officials/torturers are also entirely unethical. Also, when the American government decided to create interrogation and detention programs, they did not ask the American people if they were okay with their taxes being spent on such programs. The government also neglected to ask the American people if they found it acceptable that their government was torturing people in the name of their protection. It is highly unethical to torture human beings in the name of other human beings, without first asking for permission and without waiting for approval. Many Americans, if they were aware, would be against the torture of other human beings, but without the knowledge of what is going on how is their voice going to be heard? Also, if there are government officials turned authors, such as John Rizzo, who have the inside perspective, then they should be allowed to speak freely so that the public can be aware of what their government is doing. No American should be blamed for an action they did not know about and did not condone, and no person should have something so ethically questionable as torture of another human being done in their name without their consent. Another reason why the actions of the CIA post 9/11 were unethical is because the U.S. itself thinks torture is unethical when other countries do the same thing to U.S. citizens, so the U.S. itself cannot be the exception to the rule against torture. If, for example, a branch of government from another country were to capture and torture a U.S. citizen on the grounds that they might have information concerning an underground terrorist group, the entirety of the U.S. would protest. But, if it is unethical for one country or government to behave a certain way, then it is unethical for every country and government to behave that way, including the U.S. government. In conclusion, the CIA renditions in the post 9/11 era are extremely unethical, and no one plans on rectifying the injustices perpetrated in the name of the American citizens. The actions were unethical because the officials issuing the order for torture have not been convicted or prosecuted, American citizens did not condone the actions being done in their name, and other countries are not allowed to behave that way without repercussion; so neither should the U.S.

He went to school just a short drive up I-95 from Frawley Stadium at LaSalle University. He moves back to the area with his fiancée, Jeanine. The couple will be married on November 17. A self-professed diehard Philadelphia sports fan, Radle says he is happy to be back in the Delaware Valley. But it was the Blue Rocks' reputation in baseball circles that led him back to the area. "During my years in baseball, I've come to know a good number of people in the industry," Radle says. "So many of them have had nothing but good things to say about this organization. I am excited to be a part of the Blue Rocks family and I am looking forward to a great future in Wilmington." Blue Rocks general manager Chris Kemple was effusive in his praise for Radle. "Brian Radle has a great deal of passion and creativity, which will make him a huge asset to the Blue Rocks," Kemple says. "We feel very fortunate to have lured him to Wilmington, and feel like he will make us stronger as an organization." Holloway returns to the Rocks after spending the 2011 season as the team's game entertainment assistant. She spent last season with the Eastern League's Bowie Baysox. She graduated from Penn State in 2010 University with dual degrees in Advertising and Integrative Art. Group sales tickets and mini plans for the upcoming Wilmington Blue Rocks season are available now. To purchase tickets or to see the Blue Rocks' 2013 schedule visit bluerocks.com.

The Mortality of Euthansia in the Light of the Catholic Church's Teaching The question of euthanasia has kept pre-occupying and agitating the minds of thinkers, sweeping the globe, pummelling pedagogy, assailing assumptions, and bludgeoning biases. Both the moralist, ethicist, theologian, psychologist, educationist, anthropologist, politician, physician, patient as well as the common man in the street are interested in it. This pervading interest simply arises out of the fact that euthanasia involves the question of life, and life is something that is a common denominator to all men.The controversy hinges on the fact that, there are divergent views on the moral question of euthanasia. While some would unflinchingly opt for euthanasia others would prefer to oppose it to the best of their strength, yet others will remain agnostic about it. But the issue here remains: is euthanasia in any way morally justified? Has human life an intrinsic value? Or is human life valuable only when it is healthy? Are we the ones who decide when to die? Has the physician any right to either assist or terminate the life of the patient simply on account of suffering? Has the patient any right to end his/her life? Are there some conditions in which euthanasia could be allowed? Is suffering meaningless?The topic of my project is: THE MORALITY OF EUTHANASIA IN THE LIGHT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH’S TEACHING. In this work, I shall present the official Catholic Church’s teaching and position on euthanasia, and also, avow the different arguments proposed by the proponents of euthanasia. I will use the church’s stand, as a foundation for a critical analysis of those who support Euthanasia. And finally a will make a critique of the church’s stand in my evaluation and conclusion.

March 2001 - Page 22 TP&W open-sided facility in East Peoria, IL, is painted silver. TP&W stores building in East Peoria, IL, is galvanized metal. BNSF (ex-BN) car shop in Galesburg, IL, is cream colored with white trim. John Kujawa photo make the car shop and wheel shop. I also consulted the 1970 and 1984 editions of the Car and Loco Cyclopedia for ideas. They have a chapter in the back with some standards set up by the Railway Engineering Association shown in Figure 1. Refer to the Bill of Materials for materials used. I almost doubled the length of the original engine house that I bought by splicing a second one to the first. It is now 140' long with the width unchanged. The office w as made by shortening both the length and height of the extra side piece. All three office walls were cut up from the bottom so the gutters were not disturbed. I modeled a fully enclosed shop as anyone who has gone through a Chicago winter can appreciate. If I were modeling a little farther south Id consider an open-sided affair like the Pikestuff Shop so you could show more interior detail. I used the P&PU as a guide in positioning the windows and doors. I figured there should be fire exit doors on all four sides. The windows and doors in the office section were cut after I drew an imaginary floor p lan. The P&PU building had an office, s toreroom, work room, lunch and locker rooms so I included them in mine. The car shop and office were raised up on Pikestuff concrete blocks after the tops o f the windows and doors were cut out. This was done to raise the building so a car could theoretically be jacked up inside and not hit the roof. The blocks would also strengthen a real building against bumps and collisions it would surely take in a setting such as this. The blocks were added t o the walls after the sides were glued t ogether, leaving spaces for the doors. A strip of Evergreen strip spliced the block a nd building on the inside to strengthen the joint. All the interior walls were braced with Plastruct H columns to stiffen them because of their length. A wheel shop was constructed out of the remaining sides and ends. I didnt mount this on blocks because nothing is moved in or out of any height. The foundation of the shop was made o ut of a sheet of .010 styrene. Sheets of .080 and .060 were laminated together to b ring the foundation up to the height of t he Shinohara guardrail track. Plastruct L angles were glued to the foundation to be standard practice for all inbound trains. Your inbound conductors should also note car problems encountered in route. Besides switching the yard the yard master could also be a car inspector. If he is really busy, an assistant yardmaster or second switch engine could be called to do double duty. Placing the cars on the RIP t rack, fixing them and placing them on the far side of the building simulates their trip through the building. After being fixed they will soon become some of your best runners, better looking and you wont be getting those angry calls from your ship - pers or jabs from your crews about what a dangerous place this is to work and how management doesnt care. I began thinking of modeling possibilities and began my attack on the project with some instant photos. I realized Id have to scale down the building as the P&PUs is two tracks wide and can hold three 60' cars inside on each track. I decided on one track width and the length of two 50' cars or one autorack. This is still a large structure and only about a third of the size of the P&PUs. With the pictures and the Pikestuff catalog I started making a shopping list of items to 18' Min.

We’ve heard it before. The fear of public speaking is right up there with death. I did a quick search to see what kinds of fears people were talking about these days, and found some great articles on overcoming them. One in the Huffington Post listed some common fears as: - Ticking Clock Syndrome: Feeling as though your life is not where it should be - I’m a Fraud: We are secretly afraid that people will find out we don’t know what we are doing - Who’s watching me? Thinking that all eyes are on us - Fear that we don’t compare - Fear of rejection - Fear of disappointment - Fear of ridicule All of these are really powerful fears and we have to face them every day. The reason public speaking ranks WAY up there is that it essentially combines all these fears into one! I wrote previously about Eckhart Tolle an his book the Power of Now. Tolle tells us that when we are feeling insecure, we revert back to our most insecure times, which was typically during high school and we felt most vulnerable. Just understand that’s normal! Okay, let’s get to public speaking tips! If you look up “overcoming the fear of public speaking,” most of the articles you’ll find talk about all the tips on working on yourself. How to overcome fear, doubt, insecurity, etc. Alot of them will talk about breathing exercises, posture, and even tricks to take your mind off things. Well, I will just say that some of that stuff is great, but most of it is BULLSHIT. Today is not about fear. It’s about ACTION. Think about it. You already feel scared, insecure, and unprepared. So does adding more to think about make it easier? No way! Here are my top three tips for public speaking: TIP #1 – Make it about them Have you ever had a pimple? And did you think that EVERYONE was staring at it? “Oh no, what will they think?” “My life is ruined!” But in reality, others are so focused on their own lives to even notice all the things that are bothering us. The same goes for public speaking. Get your ego and insecurity out of the way! As outlined above, when we get in front of people we’re so scared to look silly, be exposed as a fraud, and worried about being rejected. Stop worrying about how you look, how you sound, and what words you will use. Instead, think about how you will make them feel when you speak. How can you connect with your audience? Can you make eye contact with one person at a time and give your message as if you are speaking to the individual? Can you get just one person to smile or cry? My litmus test is how many people I can get nodding to my message. As soon as I learned that no one gives a shit about me on stage and that they want to know what’s in it for them, it gave me FREEDOM as a speaker. Seriously. No more fear, just a passion to add value through public speaking – regardless of the audience. What I suggest you do instead of focusing on your stuff, is think about the problems the audience may be having, ask good questions to get them engaged, and share some insights that will help THEM (Instead of trying to sound smart). Try and ask questions where you elicit a response. Make your presentation interactive. Speaking should be all about how you can make an impact on others, not about how YOU look or sound. Go get some nodding heads. Tip #2 – Don’t memorize This is a trap that most speakers fall into. The dreaded, over-preparation. Let’s call it Preparation-H (or Preparation HELL). I see so many speakers worried that they will miss something and then they freeze up. Let’s keep it simple. First off, I hope you have knowledge on whatever topic you will be speaking about. If not, I would suggest you politely decline to speak! But let’s assume you do have the knowledge. People want to hear you naturally speak on a subject you are knowledgeable about and memorizing makes it so hard to do that. You don’t need to memorize your speeches, but instead, break them down into your main key points. And break those points further down and then figure out your timing. Respect the time you are given and make the most of it. For example, if you are speaking for 30 minutes, break it down into maybe 20 minutes of speaking and ten minutes of Q & A. In those 20 minutes, break it down like this: - 2-3 minute intro - 5 minutes on section one - 5 minutes on section two - 5 minutes on section three - 2-3 minutes summary and one main take-away to apply the lesson For each of those three sections, have three main talking points, so altogether you have only 9 things to remember. Prepare good information on each of those points. If you get stuck or lost, move to the next point. You will find it so much easier and your style will be way more free-flowing. Say it from the heart. Say what you know. Some of the best speeches I have given were spur of the moment – no time to prepare, so break it down into bite size pieces and go give em the goods. Tip #3 – Be human Don’t even get me started on the horrible Powerpoint presentations I’ve sat through over the years. if you want to read an awesome presentation book for slides, pick up Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds. Awesome stuff. If you are like me, you enjoy a speaker who is natural, engaging, funny, insightful, or thought-provoking. Be someone others want to connect with, but not just on stage. Be the person you would like to meet. If you go back to the concept of the audience of one, how you can uniquely solve their problems, and be someone who they would like to build a genuine relationship with…you win! So forget about YOUR fears, and focus on the value you add to the audience. The best way for us to overcome any of our fears is to turn them into strengths when people need us the most. If someone is sick, dying, or afraid, will you step up and help them? Because when you’re speaking in front of an audience, they need your help. Turn your fears into strengths for them and deliver kick-ass value. I would love to hear your comments and presentation ideas!

"As of right now, at the end of 2003, the technology that we have available to us, there's nothing that's bigger than this. It can't be." Veteran Hollywood producer Joel Silver has handled some tough assignments in his 23 years of movie-making but never has he been as challenged professionally as by Larry and Andy Wachowski, the brothers who created the Matrix trilogy. Silver's achievements on Die Hard, Lethal Weapon and Xanadu were all groundbreaking in their own way, but Silver considers The Matrix, Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions - all partly filmed in Australia - to be the pinnacle of his career. "It's no way that there can be anything bigger or more outlandish or fantastic as what these guys came up with," Silver said during the whirlwind of international interviews promoting the final episode of the trilogy this week. "It's just beyond anything anybody ever imagined. "Some of those sequences were so insane, the most complex ever put on film - I don't know what to do farther than this, I don't know where to go." Silver and the Matrix cast speak with reverence of the Wachowskis and their underground comic book-like vision of a dark world of sentient machines run off the electrical energy generated by enslaved humans. It was the Wachowskis demands for a cinematic carbon-copy of their imaginative scripts that drove Silver and his crew to new heights of computerised and physical innovation, and forever changed the look of action and science fiction. For the first film they invented "bullet time", the use of dozens of still cameras perched in a circle around the actors, the shots blended to achieve a trademark pan to make objects appear as though suspended in mid-air. Silver used the technique again on Swordfish in 2001, so the Wachowskis told him to innovate further for the second and third parts of the trilogy. "The Wachowski brothers decided to create images that no one could copy," he said. "That type of originality takes a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of talent. The results are staggering. "These guys didn't just raise the bar for action film-making, for visionary storytelling, for what is visually possible; they obliterated it." Bullet time evolved into motion capture, or mocap, through which the directors suffused Revolutions with twice as many visual effects as either The Matrix or Reloaded. This technique was achieved by recording the subtlest movements from high-tech reflective body suits worn by the actors, then replicating them virtually. Silver said the breakthrough enabled the creation of virtual characters that were mirror images of their human counterparts down to the last pore, yet capable of performing super-human stunts. Mocap was used extensively in the final dramatic showdown between the films' biggest adversaries, hero Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, and Hugo Weaving's megalomaniac Agent Smith. Standing witness to the airborne battle are hundreds of Agent Smith replicas, created by combining dummies and computer-generated effects with live acting doubles wearing Weaving masks and wigs. The doubles controlled the movement of the dummies and then many more virtual Agent Smiths were added in post-production. Complicating the scene was the script's requirement for a torrential downpour, pushing the production team to invent machines that produced abnormally large raindrops which could be more dramatically lit than normal rain. "This rain, a tonne a minute, starts falling, and Hugo and I have our [sun]glasses on," Reeves said of the fight scene. "I can't see him, and he can't see me - the rain is just coming down and I remember we started to go through our punches. "But we had fought each other so much, by the end of it it was like, 'I don't even need to see you'." For a great part of what became known on set as the "super burly brawl", Reeves and Weaving take to the sky; flying, flipping and fighting in superman-like fashion. For that, the production department invented "tuning forks", special rigs that simulated weightlessness during fighting, and the "twisty belt", to allow for unrestricted multi-dimensional rotation. "We were in these tuning forks at 20 feet above the ground and other people had to move them back and forwards [so] you lost control of where you had to go," Reeves said. "Once in a while you'd see Hugo and I upside-down, hanging out between the shots. Like bats." Technical convention was broken again for another battle, this one between hundreds of residents of Zion, the last underground outpost of the human race, and thousands of flying octopus-like machines known as sentinels. For this the team came up with the airbike, re-named by the nauseous stunt cast as the PMS, or please make it stop, machine. The airbike allowed the movie makers to simulate sentinel tentacles grabbing, shaking and throwing soldiers with sickening realism. Silver exudes real energy and enthusiasm for the final product, professing surprise and delight that it ever came to fruition given the Wachowski brothers' uncompromising demands. "We didn't really know what would happen until we finished the movie and it opened and we began to sense what was going on," he said. "But we knew it was something original and unique and that there was great passion in these film-makers. "I don't know how to top this. Nothing is as earth-shattering as this was." |text | handheld (how to)|| Copyright © 2003. The Sydney Morning Herald. |advertise | contact us|

We had a day room in this hotel following a cruise. The hotel provided a dedicated check-in desk which made the whole process quick and easy. The room was large and comfortable, and although our air conditioning wasn't working initially, once I had reported it to Reception they sent someone to sort it out very quickly. Tea/coffee was available in the room and the bathroom was modern and spotlessly clean with good quality toiletries. The main restaurant was closed, but we made our way to the Sports bar where we were able to order bar food which was excellent - one of the best burgers we have ever eaten! Although we were only here for a few hours we would have been happy to have stayed longer, and have no hesitation in recommending it if you want a hotel which is convenient for the airport. - Official Description (provided by the hotel): - Discover this newly transformed, sleek Courtyard by Marriott Miami Airport South.

In computers, water cooling is a method used to lower the temperatures of computer processors, and sometimes other components such as graphics cards, using water rather than air as the cooling medium. Processor speeds have increased dramatically in recent years. As a result, the heat given off by processors has also increased, as has the noise associated with equipment, such as fans, used to keep them running at a safe temperature. Because water can conduct heat about 30 times faster than air can, a water cooling system allows the processor to run at higher speeds while drastically reducing system noise. Some industry experts predict that water cooling systems will become standard for personal computers in the near future. By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers. Here's a simple example of a water cooling system: A pump circulates the water through a water block (a device similar to a heat sink) attached to the processor; there, heat from the processor transfers to the water. The heated water continues on to a radiator at the back of the computer case and is replaced with cool water. The heat from the water in the radiator dissipates into the air surrounding the computer. When the water has cooled to the ambient temperature, it is cycled through the system again. Water cooling is increasingly used to deal with the special requirements of the data center. Because data centers are often assigned the most convenient available space, rather than a space that is specially designed, servers may be contained in too small an area or one that cannot be adequately ventilated. Furthermore, some data center technologies, such as blade servers (which are densely structured), put increased stress on the data center's cooling system. Water cooling brings its own issues to the data center, however, as well as benefits. Additional plumbing is often required. Water cooling can limit the flexibility of data center design because systems connected to plumbing cannot be easily rearranged. The combination of electronic systems and water also complicates disaster recovery planning (DRP). For example, administrators need to know in advance how they will deal with potential problems, such as rust or leakage. A common fear of combining electrical systems and water is another road block to acceptance of water cooling. Despite the inherent challenges, many industry experts predict that water cooling is the inescapable future of the data center. According to Robert E. McFarlane, president of the Interport Division of New York-based Shen, Milsom and Wilke Inc., "Paranoia is the reason there's so little water-cooled equipment on the market. We tend to get married to the technologies that we know and are comfortable with, but it's getting to that point where you just can't cool these densities without carrying it in liquid form." Water cooling is nothing new -- automobiles and mainframe computers have used water cooling systems for many years. However, water cooling is being used in some new and innovative applications, such as environmentally friendly air conditioning systems for buildings.

“With the release of .NET Framework 4, it’s relevant to talk about migration issues you might run into when upgrading your applications to .NET 4. My team has put together a topic that describes the migration issues (formerly known as breaking changes) between .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework version 4. The change in terminology is to reflect the fact that not all changes introduced by a new version of the framework break your application; rather, these are changes in behavior discovered during design review and testing that could potentially impact an application,” Maira Wenzel explained. We’ll update our portal (.NET Framework Version and Assembly Information) that points to different migration issues topics to include .NET 4 version as well. So in a nutshell, these’re migration issues topics we’ve published so far and their locations: .NET Framework 4 Migration Issues (from .NET 3.5 SP1 to .NET 4), .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Migration Issues (from .NET 3.5 to .NET 3.5 SP1), .NET Framework 2.0 Migration Issues (from .NET 1.0/1.1 to .NET 2.0).

Even non-Floridians are welcome to chime in.Dems skip Fla., but voters still engaged By Ben Harris DAVIE, Fla. (JTA) -- For South Florida's large, politically engaged Jewish community, this year's primary season was going to make up for the 2000 presidential debacle, when voters in the Sunshine State felt disenfranchised by the specter of hanging chads and aborted recounts. With both parties boasting a wide open field of candidates and no clear front-runner, Florida moved its primary up to Jan. 29, ahead of Super Tuesday, in the hopes of once again taking center stage in a national political drama. Only one problem: Half the players aren't showing up. ( text belowCollapse ) |Friday, January 11th, 2008| Separation of Shul and State: Observant Jews and Nevada's primary caucuses January 19th is one of the most important contests in the Democratic and Republican quests for their parties’ nomination for the presidency. It is also Shabbat. This year, the Nevada Democratic and Republican parties have decided to hold their primary caucuses on a Saturday, with citizens required to report by 11:30 and 9:00 AM respectively , right during morning religious services. When I called the political parties in Nevada to inquire as to whether or not there were measures being taken to help accommodate those observant Jews who wished to participate in the caucuses, I received mixed results. A young Jewish woman at the Nevada Democratic Party told me that they had tried to put caucus-sites near religious neighborhoods and synagogues so that people could walk; precinct captains would be educated about the need to write down information on behalf of observant Jews instead of asking them to sign-in and write themselves. A gentleman at the Nevada Republican Party told me that the party was not even aware of the problem, but promised to make an effort to educate precinct captains on the issue. Neither had an adequate answer as to why the caucuses had to take place on a Shabbat morning. Nevada has one of the fastest growing Jewish populations in the country, and its 65,000-80,000 Jewish community members are expected to have a disproportionate impact on the results. I do not know how many of these Jews are observant enough to be effectively barred from participating in the caucus. I do not know how many of these Jews will be pushed into the uncomfortable position of choosing between attending synagogue and participating in a cherished American civic tradition. I DO know that it is highly unlikely that the state's political parties would choose to hold these caucuses on a Sunday morning during church services. Because of the need to caucus during a pre-designated and inflexible time, this form of primary contest inevitably will leave out large swaths of potential voters . Individuals who cannot flex their work schedules or find childcare are often disenfranchised. Because caucusing requires voters to present themselves in-person, members of the armed services or other Americans serving their country abroad are not able to participate in choosing the delegates from their states. However, there are two elements of Nevada’s political parties’ decision to hold the caucus on Shabbat that make it especially disturbing: the fact that it is entirely avoidable (the caucuses could have easily been held on a weeknight or even after Shabbat ended), and the fact that it categorically excludes an entire group of people based on their religious identity. This is especially ironic in a year where candidates in both parties have touted their religious credentials and spoken openly about the importance of their own faith as well as respecting people of faith. Last night’s documentary, “The Jewish Americans” told the story of how American Jews struggled to assimilate while still maintaining a sense of identity. On January 19th, Nevada's observant Jews will be asked to make a false choice between practicing their Judaism and participating in a defining American moment. To all Americans, not just American Jews, this should be seen as a disappointment. |Thursday, January 3rd, 2008| |Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008| Tom Lantos to retire due to cancer Sad news to pass on. Congressman Tom Lantos is retiring (http://www.yahoo.com/s/773782 ) due to health. I wish him the best of luck as he fights the cancer. Rep. Lantos to retire due to cancer By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer 17 minutes ago Rep. Tom Lantos, a California Democrat and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced on Wednesday that he will not seek re-election this year because he has cancer of the esophagus. Lantos, 79, is the only Holocaust survivor elected to Congress and is known for his dedication to human rights issues. He is serving his 14th term, after joining the House in 1981. "It is only in the United States that a penniless survivor of the Holocaust and a fighter in the anti-Nazi underground could have received an education, raised a family, and had the privilege of serving the last three decades of his life as a member of Congress," Lantos said in a statement. "I will never be able to express fully my profoundly felt gratitude to this great country." According to his statement, "routine medical tests" revealed the cancer. It did not provide additional details. Lantos was born in Budapest, Hungary. In 1944, as a teenager, he was sent to a labor camp but eventually escaped. Three years later, he came to the United States on an academic scholarship. He is married to Annette, his childhood sweetheart. The couple has two daughters, 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. If Democrats retain control of the House after this fall's elections, the next in line to assume control of the Foreign Affairs Committee would be Rep. Howard Berman, also a California Democrat. Like Lantos, Berman was a strong supporter of the Iraq invasion but has since voted to bring troops home. If Republicans took control of the House, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., would likely become chairwoman. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she learned of Lantos' illness with "great personal sadness and deep appreciation for his outstanding leadership." "His experience, intelligence, and compassion will be deeply missed," said Pelosi, D-Calif. |Monday, October 15th, 2007| As a Jew, who do you feel is the best candidate in 2008? I am backing Clinton as I feel she is the best candidate when it comes to issues relating to Israel. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why my brother is backing Mitt Romney. |Wednesday, September 5th, 2007| Fresh Outrage in Jerusalem or "Islamic Trust" an organization charged with the oversight of the maintence of the Al-Aqsa Mosque has recently undertaken a dig off the sight of the Temple Mount (Now the Dome of the Rock) with the intent of fixing and redirecting some electrical cables. This is not a problem in and of itself, the problem is that it is being done under minimal supervision of the IDF and no supervision of an Independent Israeli archaeology department. The very real danger is that artifacts; including rememants of the Second Temple itself could be damaged or destroyed. The dig is taking place over the ancient Temple Courtyard. If the Courtyard is even somewhat intact it is an occurence of monumentous import for Judaism, Archeology, History and indeed all of the civilized western world. To date, all that remains of the Temple (It was destroyed by the Roman's in 70 C.E) so far as we know is the Western (or Wailing) Wall and the Temple Mount itself. The Temple Mount for the record - the holiest site for Jews - is under Arab controll and Jews are completely barred from visiting. In fact when former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon attempted to enter the Dome of the Rock to worship at the Mount he was refused entry and the simple act of his attempt to worship touched off riots with the Jerusalem Arabs and the Palestinians - an event that led to the second Intifada. Incidently just a few months ago, Arab riots erupted over an Israeli plan to build a bridge outside of the Mosque compound for fear of damaging Holy Muslim artifacts. The Israeli government complied with the Arab demands and the construction was halted. Today Jewish artifacts and buildings of unbelievabale significance are being destroyed and no one seems to care except for perhaps the Israeli people themselves. But they, depsite their anxiety over this do not riot or resort to anti-muslim speech or suicided bombs. They remain loyal to democracy, liberalism and liberty, keeping the foundations of their civilization alive in spirit even as their holy sites are destroyed - with tacit government approval. But spirit of civilization or not, it is a sad day for Israel, Judaism, the West and indeed the entire world; whether a third of it wants to admit it or not. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1188392502776&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull |Monday, August 13th, 2007| |Friday, August 10th, 2007| My friend Dana is in trouble. Specifically her father is in trouble. Her father Don Siegelman is the former governor of Alabama, a Democrat. He is currently serving a particularly nasty federal prison sentence for crimes that he may not have committed. Not only does he seem to be not guilty of the charges brought against him, there is strong evidence that these charges were manufactured by friends of the White House if not the White House itself. |Monday, April 16th, 2007| I'd like to take the time to debunk some urban myths that have been circulating around the internet of late. http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/holocaust.asp It seems that a story has been circulating that schools in the UK, Ireland and other European nations have banned the teaching of Holocaust related material for fear of offending Muslim students. Let me, as a dedicated Jew, and a Zionist say now, that this is, for the most part, patendly untrue. While one school did remove its curriculum for non political reasons, every other school and university in the United Kingdom still teaches Jewish and Holocaust studies. It is important that we, as Jews, Muslims, Christians or anyone else is cognisant of falshoods perpetuated by the vehical of irrational emotions and unthought jumps to conclusion. The Holocaust was very real and its very real legacy continues, forcefully to this day. Six million Jews and millions more non-Jews died horribly in Nazi concentration and death camps. They were shot, starved, beaten, tortured, experimented upon and gassed. After that they were burned in ovens or buried in mass graves. The Nazi's exploited thier slave labor so they could roll across Europe and commit many more atrocities over the course of WWII itself. To deny or ignore the Holocaust is to deny or ignore ones humanity. It is all to obvious that many in the Muslim world, throughout both the Middle East and Europe harbor many of the same anti-semitisims that were perpetuated by the Nazis. This is a reality that Middle Eastern and European governments must face. In the case of Europe, these nations also harbor centuries old hatreds that are accentuated by the current rhetoric being proffered by radical Imams. But to falsify a claim that foists erroneous claims upon British society and simultanioulsy denegrates and villifies all Arabs and Muslims is reprehensible. It is the responsibility of the World to "Never Forget" the events of the Holocaust and the second world war. In addition, it is our responsibility as Jews to respectfully educate those who are ignorant of the events of the Shoah. But we must do it honestly and without Judgement. We are all human beings, no greater and no less than anyone else and false, inflammatory claims, in the long run, only hurt our aims and do nothing to move us forward as a people and as a species. Today is Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Rememberance Day. Let us remember it truthfully and withreverence for the dead and for those who in the midst of darkness, sought justice and light. Yitgadal v'yitgadash shemai rabah... |Sunday, April 15th, 2007| AISH prague/israel trip Does anyone know about AISH? /has anyone gone on an AISH trip? I have to decide by tonight if I want to go on one of the May/June trips, but I'm wondering (since I've heard of it's cult status :-o) if the "education" part would be too much education for me. I went on birthright three years ago, but I love to travel, want to go to Prague a lot, and would enjoy seeing Israel again. What do you think? For $499, is it worth it? Thanks in advance for anyone's input/advice. |Friday, December 15th, 2006| |Tuesday, December 5th, 2006| |Wednesday, November 8th, 2006| Jewish governor in New York!

HP is quickly hurtling toward the day it cleaves itself into public two $55 billion, Fortune 50 companies. That officially happens on November 1, when the new HP Enterprise, led by Meg Whitman, will ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. But internally, the day of the split will be August 1, says Dion Weisler, who will become CEO of the other company, which is simply called HP Inc. and will consist of today's PC and printer business. Weisler is currently running that business as executive vice president. "On the first of August, we'll turn the light switch up, and 270,000 employees will be mapped to one company or the other," he explained to the audience at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference taking place this week in Aspen. HP is doing this so that it gets one quarter of data under its belt for each of the separate companies before the new stock is issued. Weisler described the process of separating as "not for the faint of heart." It involves splitting or dissolving 750 legal entities, working through a "complicated tax structure you wouldn't believe and an IT structure hung together over 75 years." He vaguely described one example of that structure. HP Enterprise, he pointed out, has a huge outsourcing contract for the US Navy, so the sales operation organization needs to support the Navy's data centers, its PCs, networks, security and other operations. "Meanwhile I have to ship one thing every second, whether a PC or printer. So we have a sales organization that has to deal with all of that, and we've made compromises along the way," he says. "Imagine whitesheeting your company from the ground up and putting Humpty Dumpty together again in a new way that really serves the customers in which its targeting," he says. And for the employees of HP, it all happens in just over two weeks.

This is misleading for me. What I understood all these days is that Fiat Cafe is a brand building exercise and they won't sell any cars in this brand store. Now, you have mentioned that it is Fiat Exclusive Showroom. Can you please clarify? Even if the facelifted models are launched, I don't expect any significant changes to the car. It may be minor cosmetic changes plus some gizmos. To be honest, I am fed up with these kind of updates. 99% of the times, the news was false.

Just wanted to share this Live Green from Dr. Tam. I used to eat apples and orange every single day for years that I no longer want to see them lolz (I'm not kidding!) I knew this product since 2009, I thought of giving this a try just recently so i won't be depleted in essential nutrients (Note: I don't take any vitamin supplement) And this is an alkaline drink, good for balancing acid in our body. If you're not feeling good, maybe your body is high in acid. I started drinking last July. I finished 3 bottles already. It cost Php1495, 1 bottle is good for 1 month. Yeah I know that pricey.

|Bio:||After 40 years as an amateur photographer, Yves Ameline took up painting as a post-retirement challenge. He studied Watercolour at the Haliburton School of the Arts under Jake Mol, Jack Reid and Art Cunanan, and acrylics under Don Cavin, John Leonard and Brian Atyeo. He specializes in the landscapes of the two areas dearest to his heart, his native Brittany, in Western France, and his adoptive home of Ontario, especially around his cottage in the Haliburton Highlands.| Typically, he sketches and photographs on location to absorb the feel and energy of the scene, then paints in the studio to search for the most effective composition and colour scheme, free from the tyranny of reality. He feels no desire to depict things as they are, leaving this to the camera, but seeks to share with the viewer his emotional reaction to a scene, focusing on design and colour. He is fond of saying that design speaks to the mind, while colour talks to the heart. An avid visitor of major museums and art galleries, he feels indebted to the old masters of every era for the enjoyment and stimulation they offer. He especially admires, and feels inspired by, the works of Paolo Ucello, Paul Gauguin, Lyonel Feininger and Nicolas De Stael. Breton Port - 30x30 Grand Canal - 24x18 November Song - 24x30

- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at [email protected]. A long-term plan to “infiltrate” think tanks, eh? That is not a project that requires years of effort and much expenditure. I think someone was scamming Moscow Center. “Yes, comrade, we are planning to infiltrate the think tanks in five or ten years. Meanwhile, please send funds for a new car.” I also suspect the FBI is hyping this one.

The act of looking back can never be comprehensive and by nature is then selective. All the voices want a retrospective. It then remains that what is remembered—whether traumatic or loving, joyful or angry—are the ones that shout loudest. It’s like in a family where some siblings get more attention because they like the front of the stage while others prefer the shadows. Writing poetry has always been a way for me to rediscover what I’ve forgotten and give it back its place in time. The more I write the more I remember and the more I remember the less numb I feel. Memories, no matter how difficult, return shape and color and context to the story we create by our journey. It’s hard to draw a line and say once you crossed it your life changed. I believe I was always a poet. Even when I grew up thinking a baseball glove was an anatomical part inseparable from the rest of my body. I had wonderful teachers along the path of my childhood that instilled a love for the written and spoken word—starting with my grandmothers Ruth Haycraft and Dorothy Nestor. I was very sick as a child and they read to me constantly and later gave me free reign in their magical libraries. I am deeply indebted to both of them, the dears. But since this is not a memoir or autobiography--meaning it will be of limited length and selection-- I’ve chosen moving to Brattleboro, Vermont as the starting point for looking. The crossroads where my childhood crept into adulthood. The beginning of the daily personal devotion I call poetry. 21 years old. Kay was 23. We met as inadvertent bridge partners in the student union at Shepherds College. That without speaking or having played together we could intuit blackwood from four club convention was the beginning of romance. We left school and drove from coast to coast in a black 1950 Chevy panel truck painted with day glow flowers and peace signs with a mattress in the back. I don’t think a single highway patrolman that saw us let us pass unhassled. We were just looking for an America we didn’t realize we were helping create along the way. We ended up in Brattleboro Vermont working on a literary magazine called Year of Dog published by Kelly Lee & Georgia Gojmerac. It was handset on an old Chandler & Price letterpress on Nideggen mould-made paper. Kelly and Georgia did everything—including free-hand woodcuts for each poet rolled on the press with the pages. It was the first time my poetry was anthologized and it appeared along side some of my heroes—Robert Bly, Gail Dusenberry, Marvin Bell, Gregory Jerozal. I slept on a pile of blankets on the second floor of the Gelly Brothers Printing Company in between four Chandler and Price Presses. These brothers were a cadaverous set of Anglicans who looked exactly like the image of the Smith brothers on the cough drop box. They were old time printers who already in 1970 were an anachronism. The room smelled of fresh ink and burned coffee. To this day smells I associate with reckless love and dangerous personal archeology. It also smelled of Waffles—Kelly’s lovely little non descript brown dog with a nose like a seal. Out the window, across the street, the Latchis Hotel lifted its locally quarried stones four stories. It was New Years Day, 1970, when I walked out of the hotel bar at 3:00 am and felt my hat brushed off by an elderly man in a ragged old bathrobe falling from a top story window. Followed almost immediately by his wife. Both dead on contact. I remember my friends pushing me forward, not understanding why I stopped. My inability to explain . I remember the trickle of blood from the two of them running out of their robes into the storm drain. It snowed all that night and by morning the place where they landed was covered over and frozen the purest white. Something happened in Vermont. With friends like John Huey and Greg Jerozal I entangled more deeply in the changes the 60s offered young poets. All nighters where the directive was not so much to get high but to share out loud the poems of the poets we’d grown to love—Levertov, Rexroth, Whitman, Yeats, Eliot, Auden, Rilke, Bishop, Stevens, Plath, Mandlestam—night after night--increasingly intoxicated not just on the camaraderie and wine but on the words—the beautiful music and rhythms of the words. Transplanting the heart of this across generations and re-animating it with our own discovered voices. Magic—friendship—grace—excess—danger—poetry. During the time I lived in Vermont I went to the Bread Loaf Writers Workshop. Twice. The second time I was banned for life for a youthful imbroglio involving an abandoned hunter’s cabin, endless bottles of beer and the disciplined work of co-conspirators Cindy Williams and Ben Ciardi both of whom enjoyed immunity by virtue of their fathers’ teaching at the workshop. It was at Bread Loaf it was suggested by my instructor, Miller Williams, that I send a manuscript to the Writers Workshop at Iowa. He liked my work enough to provide a letter of recommendation and evidently saw some sort of sparkle in the dirt that if properly polished just might turn into a worthy line or two—perhaps even a poem. A life. Iowa City 1971—1975 My manuscript was accepted by Donald Justice. I still have the letter signed by him. I’m now a poet in more than my own imagination. Someone else sees me. I am—so happy—to be where I am. The memories have faded over the ensuing 45 years. But enough remain—oh yes—enough remains. Iowa City in the early 70s was a live wire. That was the first thing I felt. It was a 60s hippie’s dream come true. It was as if young people took over a town in the middle of the corn belt and ultra liberalized it and stamped it with revolutionary ideas about art and politics and the importance of the offspring they produce. Honky tonk poured out of bars like Gabe and Walkers and the Vine while poets held down the Sanctuary and more especially, Donnely’s, bless her forever. Owned by Harold Donnely, an old Orangeman from Dublin with his assistant, Charlie. Every morning before class they’d be polishing their County Cork walnut bar in white shirts and black ties and with little prompting tell stories of Dylan Thomas sitting in the same chair where I sat drinking a democrat and abusing my friends. History. Tradition. Revolution. Oh yeah—eight ball. Four semesters at the Undergraduate Writers Workshop on the way to a B.F.A One with Marvin Bell, one with Donald Justice and two with Norman Dubie. I took summer workshops with John Berryman and William Stafford and audited graduate classes with Mark Strand. There was little distinction outside of class between student and teacher. Norman often slept in my guest room and more than once I woke up on Donald’s sofa after an all night poker game where he, as usual, walked off with the pot. It was an endless succession of poems and readings and prose and collaborations and alternative to alternatives. The Actualist poets papered one whole block of Clinton Street with spontaneous poems. John Jiler led a parade of raccoons tied together with red ribbons down Clinton Street. While the wind moaned diacritical remarks in the language of the overhanging lindens. This is where it got real for me. Years of playing at being a poet but only when it suited me. Loving to say I am a poet but writing only when high or depressed. That changed in Iowa City. Forever. I began to write with discipline learned from Donald Justice, that great sad man, and Norman Dubie whose tremendous gifts are always at least one step ahead of his contemporaries. Stafford said write every day even if you have nothing to say. If you don’t you might as well do something else with your life because the only reason to write poetry is for the merciful abundance of self respect that comes from doing what you’re here to do. I look back on those days and see how happy and tormented I was. Brilliant caring teachers. Gentle, crazy, spectacular friends. Deep commitments to one another and a conscious, careless way of living on the edge in cut off jeans. There was ugliness and beauty, way too much alcohol and drugs (maybe) and a flickering at the edge of sight that might have been death—coming to claim a few of us and letting most stagger on before catching up later. Looking back can be an exercise in indulgence if one isn’t careful. It can be a cherry picked basket of pleasant memories that neglect to include the horrors that launched them. I don’t spend a lot of time looking back these days because my belief is that so much of who we are and what we did and didn’t do—our choices—some noble and some impoverished—are no longer distinct geographical presences but assimilated into this moment as it happens—this poem as it’s written. The act of looking back for me then occurs mostly when I’m focused on the empty page—when I let the words run like green horses throwing off riders on the way to open range. I’m also knowing something like right now is the new yesterday and this awareness—absent earlier in my life—brings sweet and sacred attention to where the next foot falls. From Bristol Bay & Other Poems Red Hen Press 2009 New Years Day 2005 “…I believe in Iowa City each Cold heart, each cold rustling stalk of corn Left unharvested in the snow covered fields Is warmed by a molten core of poems Written by the dangerously young… Music burbling under iced in creeks Where coyotes cut their paws scratching Holes in the ice to drink from the pool Freezing slowly over the remaining fish… I still believe in the power of poetry To make a place where one wild thing survives… The first birds of spring fly just beyond the Falling snow, waiting to land when my country Thaws, waiting to begin the excarnation Of my tongue, leaving only the bones of Joy and one vowel, all that is needed To begin a song of gratitude…”

Once, long ago, we were white and covered in hair. Then we were black and naked. Then we stayed naked and became chocolate brown, porcelain pale, and every shade inbetween. Why are humans so many different hues? This question has long fascinated Professor Nina Jablonski, world-renowned biological anthropologist from Pennsylvania State Universtity, USA. She related the story of how we got our skin colour, as it is currently best understood by evolutionary scientists, to a rapt audience at the University of Cape Town on Wednesday. The naked, many-coloured ape If you look under the fur of our closest living relative, the chimpanzee, you'll find pale skin. And it's likely that the common ancestor chimps and humans shared, before the two species diverged and went their separate evolutionary ways, was also light-skinned and dark-furred. Our early, forest-dwelling ancestors may have had pale skin covered by fur, like our modern-day chimpanzee relatives. But around 2 million to 1.5 million years ago, the early hominids who would eventually become Homo sapiens left the forests for the sun-baked savannah, and started striding around on two legs and developing big, temperature-sensitive brains – two physical changes that put us at risk of over-heating. We cooled down by progressively losing our fur and gaining the ability to sweat profusely. As we became naked apes, however, so our skins became exposed to the sun's rays. By around 1.2 million years ago, our ancestors in Africa (from which all members of the current human family most probably come), had acquired permanently dark skins to protect against the damaging effects of ultra-violet radiation in sunlight. It's well known that high levels of sun exposure can damage the skin's DNA and lead to skin cancer, and for some time, scientists thought this was the evolutionary driver for dark skin, i.e. that those of our ancestors with paler skin would have been more likely to die of melanoma and consequently produce fewer paler-skinned babies. But skin cancer takes a long time to develop, and usually only kills people once they are past reproductive age and have already produced offspring to carry on their genes. It wasn't because of skin cancer that we evolved dark skin; it was because of folate. Folate: essential, and sun-sensitive Folate is an essential vitamin used to build DNA, and a deficiency in pregnant women can cause babies to be born with severe birth defects, especially of the nervous system. Folate happens to be very sensitive to UV radiation, and when it's carried in the bloodstream in capillaries near the skin's surface, sunlight can destroy it. So we evolved a natural sunscreen: melanin. This pigment, which gives skin its colour, absorbs and blocks UV radiation. The more melanin you have, the darker your skin tone, and the better you can block UV and keep your folate intact for your baby developing in utero. Our ancestors with darker skins thus produced healthier, darker-skinned babies who were more likley to survive and produce darker-skinned babies in their turn. For the next million years or so, everyone stayed dark brown. The great trek from the tropics Then, roughly 100 000 years ago, some of our ancestors decided to leave home in Africa and move North, and from there progressively spread all over the globe. Some of our ancestors moved from Africa north to less sunny parts. Some then moved south again to areas like India, Australia and South America. (1-Homo sapiens. 2-Neanderthals. 3-Early hominids.) The descendants of those who stayed in the intense African sun kept their protective darker skins. But those who moved North of course met with less and less sunlight the further they moved from the equator. Here there was progressivley less risk of folate being destroyed by sunlight, but a new problem arose: not enough vitamin D. The “sunshine vitamin” Vitamin D, essential for the normal formation of bone and a healthy immune system, among other benefits, can be manufactured by our bodies in the presence of sufficient sunlight – specifically, UVB radiation. As our ancestors moved to less sunny climes, those with darker skins were at a disadvantage because their high amounts of melanin meant they could not absorb enough UVB to produce Vitamin D. Without sufficient of the “sunshine vitamin”, the female pelvic bones form abnormally, often not allowing for successful birth. Immune systems weakened from lack of Vitamin D also meant more, and earlier, deaths from disease. Thus paler skin became a selective advantage for those further from the sun. Those really far from the sun – at latititudes further than around 52 degrees North and South – became palest, but still needed to get enough Vitamin D from diet, in the form of oily fish or dairy products. This de-pigmentation of skin is thought to have occurred several times in our evolution. As has re-pigmentation: when early humans who'd moved north and lost melanin moved again back down to sunnier lattitudes they developed darker, UV-protective skins once more. This same mechanism has happened in many different parts of the world. Modern health implications Even as recently as a few hundred years ago, most people didn't venture far from their place of birth. But as transportation became more efficient and rapid, more people moved (or were moved, by the slave trade) far from their ancestral homelands. These days, we can whizz to wildly different latitudes just for a vacation. There are some serious implications for skin tones evolved over millenia. Pale skin at low latititudes is at serious risk of skin cancer, and requires conscientious protection from the sun, especially in summer. At high latititudes, there's a risk of Vitamin D deficiency for those with darker skins – but even for those with lighter skins if they spend much of their time indoors, as is the norm now in big cities. Covering the skin with clothing for warmth also lowers exposure to the little sunshine there is in cold climates. But covering the skin for cultural reasons also has health implications: for example, Islamic women who wear burqas have a higher rate of osteoporosis and other health issues related to vitamin D deficiency.

As anyone who speaks to me for more than 15 seconds knows.. I have a small, almost insignificant nappy obsession. It's not out of control yet, I can go up to 15 minutes at a time without looking at Nappy sites.. but no more than that. The obsession has spread lately to include woollen nappy covers, otherwise known as longies, shorties and crops. Or board shorts. I think boyish crops are known as board shorts.. but I can't be sure so daren't say that out loud for fear of sounding like a fool. Or more like a fool. So I'm going to share some pictures.. All Lal obviously.. G doesn't seem enthused by these things.. and she's still not speaking to me after I bought her her own reusable sanitary pads. She thinks she needs the local mental ward on speed dial in case I flip any further.. You see? Cuteness personified! The boy isn't bad either. And in other news.. My father appeared with a hammer at 10.30 this morning. It wasn't for an attempt to kill us all.. but to put together an arch for the garden that has been sat in a corner for the last 5 years.. By 4pm it was finished.. and without him having a heart attack. G decided that she would love to creosote it.. it looked like fun. She lasted 6 minutes before it became too much like work and a mortal splinter wound forced her inside to watch TV. The arch will now remain half painted until judgement day. And I hate the thing. It is huge, unsafe (dad isn't a master craftsmen.. you sit on the left of it and the right semi buckles.. He said to market it to K as a swing *sigh*) and just looks odd! Oh, and at 3pm today. Lal went upstairs. He fell asleep for an hour. A phrase that strikes terror wherever it is heard. He's been forced to do laps of the garden, and has been taken to the park twice. I just know he won't fall asleep before 11. Why doesn't he listen to me? Naps are *not* allowed. The Fail - You asked me why I hate that “newspaper”. The one whose “reputation is so bad it can’t be libelled”. Let’s have a look at its headlines and articles today.... 1 year ago

Due to some issues with timing, I broke my buying trip into two separate weekend visits so that I didn’t have to take time off from work. With 4-5 trips under my belt, it has gotten a little easier (especially when BJ or Trang go too), but I often still feel like a newbie learning the ropes, being assertive, etc. I’m sure more mistakes will be made along the way, but I’ve gotten more comfortable with taking my time, trying things on, looking at details, and sticking with my instincts. I still think back to my first time buying, wondering why the heck I choose a chunky knit, almost floor length, coat for our Houston winters. I almost did a dance when we sold it – not to a Houstonian, go figure, but a lovely visitor from Germany where I’m sure it would get much more use. This time around, I had a better idea about what does well for us, which of our customers would really love a particular style, and how to filter through all the trends. It’s still hard though, specially for Fall/winter collections where I’m immediately drawn to everything wool, heavy coats (like the one above by Feral Childe), and basically anything that would only get 1-2 weeks wear in Houston. A few things that stood out to me were layering pieces like the denim crop top from Rachel Comey, a 2 piece jumper from Black Crane (the collection keeps getting better and better with new fabrics each season), and pretty prints from No.6 like the one above. Going on two very short trips was a bit of a crazy idea, but I managed to carve out a bit of time and treat myself to non work related activities (even though my skin, sleep, and body are making me pay for it now). Before it all passes me by, I wanted to write down some of my memories: eating Shake Shack while it’s snowing around us, sitting window side at the Butcher’s Daughter watching the first snow fall do a sort of dance in the wind — it was so beautiful, randomly running into and meeting for the first time Julia from Rennes and her husband while reading at McNally’s bookstore, spending time with my brother in law Jeff, forcing myself to enjoy eating dinner alone, sleeping over with my friend Jen in the loft (the view!) her boss rented and enjoying bombolonis at Bottega Falai before our first appointments, grabbing brunch with Beth, and escaping for a bit with BJ – sometimes it’s exactly what we needed.

Today, I’d like to pay a little homage to my vegetable garden. With all the rain and heat we’ve had this year, things are thriving. The tomatoes are attempting a coup and the cucumbers have made a break for the world outside the fence. Needless to say, I’ll be pickling and canning like crazy for the next few weeks. But before I’m swept up in the harvest, I thought it would be fun to share a little garden etymology with you. So let’s dig right in! The word for this refreshing fruit (yep, it’s a fruit, even though you usually find it in the vegetable section) came to English in the late 1300s from the Old French word, cocombre, which in turn came from the Latin word, cucumerem. It may have come to Latin from an older Mediterranean language, but that’s as far as the vine takes us. The word cucumber replaced the Old English word eorþæppla, which literally meant earth-apples. A couple of interesting side notes: the pronunciation, cowcumber, was commonly used from the 1600s into the 1800s. And the idiom “as cool as a cucumber,” which first appeared in the mid-1700s, comes from ancient folk wisdom that says the inside of a cucumber is cooler than the air surrounding it — something that remains a topic of hot debate on the Internet. The word melon came to English in the 1200s from the Old French word, melon, which in turn came from the Medieval Latin word, melonem. That came from the older Latin word, melopeponem, which was the word for a type of pumpkin. Melopeponem came from the ancient Greek word, melopepon, which meant gourd-apple and referred to a bunch of different gourds that produced sweet fruit. The Greek word is a composite of the words melon, which meant apple (a word that was used generically to refer to all foreign fruits), and the noun pepon, which referred to a type of gourd (the adjective pepon meant ripe). This year, I planted cantaloupes, something I’ve never had success growing before. Much to my surprise, they have really taken off. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be looking for things to do with cantaloupes, so if you have any good recipes you’d like to share, please feel free to do so! This bulb, which strikes fear into the hearts of vampires everywhere, gets its name from Old English. In West Saxon, the word was garlec, and in Mercian it was garleac. It evolved slightly in Middle English, when it became garlek, before making its way into modern English with the spelling we now use. The original Old English word is a combination of the words gar, which meant spear, and leac, which referred to a leek. So garlic really means leek-spear, which is kind of fitting, giving its vampire-repelling properties. This delicious garden-dominating fruit has some interesting etymology. It came to English around 1600 from the Spanish word, tomate, which in turn came from the Nahuatl word, tomatl (Nahuatl is one of the Uto-Aztecan languages). Tomatl apparently means the swelling fruit, coming from the verb, tomana, which means to swell. Interestingly — and perhaps because it’s a member of the nightshade family — Europeans were slow to embrace this fruit as food. Some opted to grow it as an ornamental plant, while others claimed it was poisonous. Finally, an Italian chef is said to have taken the plunge, bringing tomatoes from Spain to Florence, where he cooked them for members of the Borgias family. It’s hard to imagine what Italian cuisine would be like today if it weren’t for that chef. And there you have it. A little etymology for the gardener (or foodie) in you. Bon appétit!

Friday, May 05, 2006 i'm not sure that this will be a super regular feature at yr dirty boots, but i thought it would be fun to dig out some old songs that used to make regular appearances on my mix tapes. (back when i actually had to put in 90 minutes of effort to crank one out). i thought there was no better band than the superfriendz to kick things off with, since, if i am going to be entirely honest, they were one of the many musical reasons behind my attending university in halifax. also, with the recently wonderful weather, their music fits this pre-summer "anything can happen" mood perfectly. just close your eyes and take a trip back to 1995 with me. from the album mock up, scale down...the superfriendz:

Originally I wanted to post this up earlier but my busy schedule prevented me from doing so. Anyway, here's the 2nd update~ Mawaru Penguindrum: Album First time working with Shinku and Samui, they are friendly and I hope to meet them again next time. The series that they did was nice as well. Nikon Club Get Together: Album One of my shoots got postponed so I joined a few of my photography friends in an event organised by Nikon Malaysia. It is nice to do something different once in a while. A fashion-themed shoot, too bad it didn't quite work out the way I wanted it to be. Nonetheless, it was fun. Vocaloid: Balloon Moon - Album Epic trip to the Sepang Gold Coast, where the beach goes as far as your eyes can see, and where the sunset's nice to behold. You should try to go there, at least once. A pretty lady contacted me a while back to do a shoot for her, and I can't really turn her down. Funnily enough, we happen to know a mutual friend! Kimi to Boku: Album I was invited to the photoshoot by Shine, and it was fun working with some cosplaying friends for the first time. We kept the shoot short as we were actually going for the Animax event later that day. RAGE 2012: Album Ah, good food and a fun-filled trip to Malacca. Also attended the cosplay event there, met up with new and old friends. And food, yes I know I repeated myself again. XD Gamefest 4: Album Last but not least, I recently went for the MMU Cyberjaya gaming event organised by the folks of Game Developers' Club (GDC). The event's fun, although not very crowded. Looks like I more or less cover all the updates for now, stay tuned next time for more shoots/events/general coverage! :)

A few days ago when this year’s rookie camp started, the Washington Capitals’ 117th pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Norwegian goalie Steffen Søberg, was suddenly missing from the roster. The club released a statement that said that Søberg wouldn’t attend camp this year. They said that he needed time to decide if he would play the upcoming season in Europe or in North America. Steffen Søberg was picked by the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League in the CHL’s import draft and attended a training camp with the WHL team earlier in the summer. The Broncos’ coach and general manager Mark Lamb said in an interview a couple of days ago that Søberg had some personal problems to deal with back home, but they expected him to return to the team as soon as his problems were resolved. Lamb also said that Steffen Søberg can’t play anywhere else because his rights belong to the Broncos this season. Today Søberg gave an interview to the Norwegian news paper Dagbladet.no in which he addressed Lamb’s comments. “My personal problems are very overblown. My only reason for going home is that I don’t want to be there. I have told them from the beginning that I don’t want to be there. I’m not depressed or anything like that, I just don’t want to be there.” It sounds like the Broncos coach expects you to come back? “Yeah, maybe he is hoping for that, but deep down inside I think he knows that I’m not coming back. I just don’t feel like I’m ready to move that far away on my own just yet.” Søberg has asked the club to release him from his contract so that he can start playing for another team. In the meantime he is training with his old club Manglerud Star in Norway. You are not afraid that this will burn all your bridges to the NHL? ”It won’t ruin anything for me. They have told me that they don’t view me as a bad prospect if I choose to play outside of North America, but they would have preferred that I play in North America. I’m not at all ruling out that I will play over there sometime in the future, but right now I just don’t want to be there. I think it’s better that someone that really does want to be there gets my spot instead.” A timeline of The Steffen Søberg situation May 5, 2011: Søberg talked to the Norwegian paper Nettavisen.no about the possibility of being drafted by the NHL. Steffen said that there is a possibility that he will get drafted but that is not something that he takes for granted. Because of an incredible performance at the U-18 World Championship in Germany, several Canadian junior teams have started to become interested in picking Søberg in the import draft. “I think it’s a bit far to move all the way to Canada. I’m going to think about for a bit but I think I will stay in Europe,” said Søberg. He also talked about his need to train with a real goalie coach which is something that his Norwegian team doesn’t have. June 11, 2011: Hockeysverige.se reports that Swedish Elite League champion Färjestad are interested in recruiting the Norwegian goalie for their newly formed junior team. June 12, 2011: In yet another interview with Nettavisen.no, Søberg confirms that Färjestad has showed interest in him and that he is very excited about the possibility to work with renowned goalie coach Erik Granqvist. Granqvist has worked with goalies such as Henrik Nilsson (Calgary Flames), Alexander Salák (Chicago Blackhawks), and Jonas Gustavsson (Toronto Maple Leafs ). “They want me to be the number one goalie on their J20-team and as third goalie for the big club. I can’t imagine anything better than to train with Färjestad’s SEL team. I always had to train myself so to speak. I have participated in goaltender camps but only once a year. I think that a goalie coach will help me improve my game a lot. I think a coach that is specialized on goalies will help me a lot, not just with the technical aspects of my games but with the mental aspect as well. Just to have someone to talk to after a game that knows what it’s all about would be huge for me.” June 25, 2011: The Washington Capitals picked Søberg in the fourth round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Right after the draft Capitals goalie coach Dave Prior says that they would prefer Søberg to play in North America. June 29, 2011 The Swift Current Broncos picked Søberg number six in the CHL import draft. July 15, 2011: At the Capitals development camp, Søberg talked about playing overseas: “That was something that Washington wanted me to do. I also had some offers from Sweden and stuff that would’ve been easier for me, not moving that far away,” he said. “But I think it’s gonna be great. Dave Prior [says] that’s the best place to develop as a goalie, so I trust that,” Søberg told the Washington Times. So what to make of this? If you are a representative or a fan of the Swift Current Broncos, you have a good reason to feel very disappointed in this situation. The team wasted a high draft pick on a player that at the time of the draft seemed committed to coming over, but it is clear now that that is not the case. It is of course impossible to say at this time how much the loss of Søberg will hurt the team. Also unknown as of now is if the Broncos will play hard ball and prevent Søberg from suiting up for another team or if they will release him from his obligations. From a Washington Capitals perspective on the other hand, I see no reason to be overly worried about this situation. It’s unfortunate that Søberg didn’t make up his mind earlier though so the Broncos didn’t waste a pick on him. Looking at this from the outside, it sounds like he wanted to play for Färjestad all along, but that opportunity is most likely not available any longer since Färjestad picked up Swiss goalie Luca Boltshauser to fill that position. With the hockey season already started in a lot of European countries, it could be difficult for Søberg to find a opening. But I think that he is viewed as being interesting and promising enough for some team to take him on even if most teams already are set.

Studio Photography includes anything from Portraiture both personal and business to Product photography where, images are captured in a photography studio. Here, at WMD Photography, we have a fully equipped, modern studio capable of delivering your desired imagery for whatever its intended purpose. Always professional while very personable, our studio and its employees serve to make our clients to feel at ease, welcome and comfortable. With the best images possible as our goal and purpose, we like to take our time. Although an hour is slotted for the sitting, we will continue for as long as it necessary until ‘we’ (you, the client and us, the photographer) are both happy with the results. WMD encourages collaboration with our clients; inviting their ideas, thoughts and visions. If there is a particular prop, background, or piece that adds to the intended ‘theme’, we welcome you to bring it with you to your session. As the session progresses, typically, more ideas and clearer visions begin to emerge. This is not a place where we go by the book creatively, the sky is the limit! At the same time, our workflow processes and technical proficiency are solid and completely professional. Personal use of imagery differs from Commercial use in that there is an intention to generate income from the use of our images and therefore, a different fee structure is applied to commercial imagery. This would include any imagery for business purposes such as marketing or promotion, either digitally or in a print format. - Personal Studio Sessions are $100.00 per hour and include one free 8×10 print. Your studio session will be followed by a presentation of images typically scheduled soon after your studio session. This is the opportunity for you to decide on your print and digital needs from our print packages and A La Carte menu. Proofs can also be sent via DropBox if you are unable to attend the presentation meeting. - Commercial use of imagery differs from personal and is negotiated with our clients depending upon the intended use. An Hourly Rate + Licence Fees (annual) will be applied. Contact us (613) 206-4318, via email through this website’s contact page ([email protected]) or by leaving a message via our FB page (www.facebook.com/WmdPhotography) to book a studio session with us.

Today many women in the city will be going without food. “In Karva Chauth, I observe a fast for my husband’s longevity,” says Anita Jain, a financial analyst. “I’ll wait till the moon appears, and only then will I eat.” Karva Chauth is a festival observed mostly in north India. “We Assamese don’t celebrate any such festival,” says Shyamalima Kakati, a Guwahati-born freelance illustrator, who has been living in Delhi for seven years. “On this day, I do like to visit my neighbours, who dress up in beautiful saris and apply mehndi on their palms.” Till a few decades ago, Karva Chauth was not celebrated in large parts of Uttar Pradesh, north India’s biggest state. “I don’t think my mother or my aunts were aware of this festival,” says Kshetra Pal Singh, a civil engineer, “but when I married 42 years ago, my wife observed the Karva Chauth fast for me.” Film critic Anupama Chopra credits Bollywood blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) for the Karva Chauti-fixation of the society. “It became a pan-Indian thing after DDLJ. In the movie, Kajol fasts for her beau Shah Rukh Khan, and she later learns that he too hadn’t eaten for her sake. This scene made an impression on millions of women in the country. “Karan picked up from there,” Chopra says, referring to film director Karan Johar’s later melodramas. “And then Karva Chauth became filmy. Till 15 years ago, it was a family event. Now, I get invites to Karva Chauth parties.” For Singh's wife, it will still be a cozy family meal. Tonight, she will make . But don’t the women get hunger pangs during the day? “Anything for my love,” says Meenakshi Fernandes, who is fasting for her boyfriend. “I will definitely smoke a cigarette or two though.”
