Ray’s redemptive story of an impoverished childhood brings to mind the novels of Dorothy Allison and the nature writing of Amy Blackmarr, but the stunning voice and vision are hers alone. Ray grew up in a junkyard on the outskirts of Baxter, a south Georgia backwater “about as ugly as a place gets. . . . Unless you look close, there’s little majesty.” She looks close and renders all she sees in prose that’s a treat to ear and tongue alike. Precise, illuminating, and striking, her descriptions of family and nature are salted with the jargon of Southern cracker culture and the gritty poetry of the region’s flora and fauna. Ray’s narrative braids memoir and natural history into a common poignant theme: the search for what’s lost. Moving easily between the cast-off ugliness of the junkyard and the majesty of old-growth forest, she finds ample beauty in each. Exploring her family’s history of mental illness or chronicling the environmental devastation that destroyed Georgia’s once abundant longleaf-pine forest, she’s keenly attuned to the precariousness of systems—the chaos that awaits when they fly out of whack, the difficulty of reassembling them when pieces are missing. She’s blessed with interesting relatives: roguish grandfather Charlie is a legendary woodsman and coon hunter, grandmother Clyo a virtuous woman who bootlegs moonshine to feed her family, father Franklin a mechanical genius who subjects his family to fundamentalist Christianity so strict it prohibits Christmas. Despite poverty and social isolation, Ray recalls her childhood as happy and loving, recounting moments of searing pathos—as when she and her brothers sneak off to a corner of the junkyard to exchange homemade Christmas presents on the sly—without self-pity. “Turning back to embrace the past has been a long, slow lesson not only in self-esteem but in patriotism—pride in homeland, heritage. It has taken a decade . . . to own the bad blood.”

Diageo, the owners of Buchanan’s whisky, had plans to make 5-7% yearly price increases. But it wasn’t going to achieve such growth with its current design that was failing to resonate with the emerging market of young and aspirational, middle-class consumers. Diageo wanted a contemporary, elevated redesign of Buchanan’s brand, bottles and secondary packaging to reflect its premium quality and justify the expensive price point. Drawing on its strong history, the new bottle design features James Buchanan’s signature and an embossed family crest, which delivers a thoroughly modern expression for the range. Buchanan’s has been rejuvenated. Just one year after the redesign it has seen a surge of brand value in its key Latin American markets - by 23% in Mexico and 52% in Colombia. And in the US – the brand’s largest market – value growth is up 9%. Buchanan’s overall brand value increased by 20% and it has successfully entered new markets and driven further penetration.

Actress Kate Bosworth teamed up with fashion designer Tory Burch to create her own bag -- the Kate Bosworth X Gemini Bag. Kate Bosworth creates own handbag along with fashion designer Tory Burch Los Angeles: "I love the aesthetic. It has a cool Seventies California vibe that I love so much but is also a classic. But perhaps what I love most is what the Gemini Link bag represents, which is the multiple roles we take on as powerful women," Bosworth told Just Jared magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk."I am an actress, a producer, a stepmother, a friend, a wife... We are all many things and I adore that this bag embodies this sentiment," she added.The actress believes that the bag is perfect to team with a pair of flared blue jeans and a simple white T-shirt because it can make any casual attire look jazzy."During the day, wear it with a great pair of flared blue jeans and a simple white T-shirt. I feel that the bag should speak for itself. And at night, black leather pants with an oversized boyfriend sweater -- make it cool and edgy but casual and easy," Bosworth said.And having a bag on her is vital because she has so many things she likes to carry with her when she goes about her day-to-day business."iPhone, Glossier balm, Glossier stretch concealer, Chanel lipstick, Tory Burch sunglasses, wallet, small grey Moleskine for notes, Montblanc pen, gum and a small snack if I am running around, like almonds or an apple," she said.

Well, that is one lesson I have learnt lately and words I will hold close as I move into 2008! This year is going to be so exciting!I have been struggling lately with working full time and living simply. I just don't have the energy to bake or cook or garden. I think one of my downfalls is coming home and turning on the computer, with in the blink of an eye two hours can slip by! Then it is to late to get anything done so in order to be more productive I am going to plan my days.Here is a rough draft:4:30 Get up and have breakfast5:00 Do dishes and generally tidy up around house6:00 Leave for work3:30 Get home and have a shower, put washing on and check animals4:30 Computer5:00 Cook tea, eat and do dishes6:30 Watch neighbours (aarrghhh can't stop) while doing craft be it sewing or knitting.8:30 BedIf I try to stick to this plan for weekdays I think I will get a lot more done and not have to run around Saturday morning doing a weeks worth of house work! (It's Saturday now and I still haven't started) I will try and see how I go.I have a few other things that I will be trying to do this year and if I write them down I may stick to them a bit better.1; Clean up my potty mouth! I am making a big effort not to swear or say bad things! It is really a hard one for me.2; Wear skirts and dresses more because it makes me feel more feminine and less likely to swear. It's strange but I am a nicer person in a dress....does that make sense?3; Cook from scratch and wear an apron. I often think 'I'll just pop this in the micro so I won't get messy'4; This one will be a hard one for me but I am going to try not to consume any chemicals, well what I mean is stuff like preservatives and artificial sweeteners. I recently spoke to some one about what would be better a egg and bacon mcmuffin or home made apricot jam on homemade bread. They said it would be about the same but I have thought about it and homemade jam on toast is better for my soul! no correspondence will be entered into! LOLWish me luck sticking to those won't you!Lots of other exciting things will be happening on Gobbler's Run this year and I just can't wait.Here is a pic of Paul and Kelly. They have just had there first hair cut. I was a nervous wreck LOL Posted by Broad Betty at 8:18 PM Labels: rambling, sheep 5 comments: Ali said... the computer sure can make time disappear ~ that's one of my problems......!!!!

Ahh well atleast I'm not the only one LOL. If I moved the computer it might be easier but I have it set up infront of the sofa in the lounge hehe January 20, 2008 at 9:27 AM Lucky-1 said... Good luck with the changes you are going about with this year. I too find I can loose hours in front of the computer.Paul & Kelly look very smart with their new haircuts too. January 20, 2008 at 5:15 PM Belinda said... I'll bet Paul and Kelly will think you are absolutely awesome on the next 44 degree day you get. I hope you find your schedule works for you.Kind RegardsBelinda

When the tomatoes are less than appealing this time of year I try to find other kinds of salads to offer. Many in my household will not happily eat cooked vegetables and prefer raw, which can be tough to offer when most of what is fresh and local right now are root vegetables. Coleslaw is one winter salad that does work for us. I have found that by keeping things simple I am able to get everyone to eat at least one serving, which for me is a win. This salad is based loosely on one of my Dad's favorites, carrot and raisin slaw. Coleslaw Print Recipe By Michelle K. The dried cherries are optional and any dried fruit that appeals to you can be used. Ingredients 3 cups shredded cabbage 1 cup shredded carrot 1/4 cup dried cherries 1/3 cup Buttermilk Ranch Dressing (see recipe) pepper, to taste Instructions Add the cabbage, carrot and cherries to a large bowl. Add about half of the dressing and stir well. Add more dressing until the coleslaw is moist but not soggy. Season with pepper to taste. Yield: 6 servings Prep Time: 00:10 Cook time: 00:00 Nutrition Calories: 89 Total carbs: 12 Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Print Recipe By Michelle K. The shortcut on this recipe is using the store bought seasoning packet. These work great! Ingredients

Now in a church (I would say it's an appropriate choice for a telecom event) in Den Haag (The Hague) attending a crash course in Dutch known as Den Haag Telecom. This photo is of the alderman for ICT making introductory remarks. On the screen to the right is a screen displaying audience comments sent in via SMS. I have a hard time seeing this sort of event happening in the UK.UPDATE: I thought the UPC presentation was pretty interesting, for a cableco (discussion of user generated content, long-tail issues, etc.). One thing which made me giggle was that it appears that Versatel's "Mediabrowser" is designed to look like a telephone keypad. Only a telco would arrange a menu for media to look like a telephone. I find this baffling.

Temperature in an urban area exhibits a complicated pattern due to complexity of infrastructure. Despite geographical proximity, structures of a group of buildings and streets affect changes in temperature. To investigate the pattern of fine-grained distribution of temperature, we installed a densely distributed sensor network called UScan. In this paper, we describe the system architecture of UScan as well as experience learned from installing 200 sensors in downtown Tokyo. The field experiment of UScan system operated for two months to collect long-term urban temperature data. To analyze the collected data in an efficient manner, we propose a lightweight clustering methodology to study the correlation between the pattern of temperature and various environmental factors including the amount of sunshine, the width of streets, and the existence of trees. The analysis reveals meaningful results and asserts the necessity of fine-grained deployment of sensors in an urban area.

If the hockey fans of Pittsburgh don’t get the message across that this team is worth saving, we could be looking at a replay of the great Quebec Nordique migration of the 1995. Not since Joe Sakic and his Nords packed up for the journey west, has a young hockey team promised so much for its future, while performing in an highly entertaining style in the present.Much like that up and coming team of soon to be household names that eventually settled in for the long run in Denver, the Penguins are quickly becoming everyone’s favourite team to watch.Saturday night, it was time for Jordan Staal to introduce himself to hockey world, with an outstanding performance on the high church broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada. And Staal did not disappoint with his centre stage debut, rattling off three goals and a providing dominating force on the ice for his Penguins.The only drawback to Staal’s amazing game, was that the CBC had chosen this past Saturday to split the network three ways. The Pens/Leafs game was available to the Maritimes and through Ontario, with the exception of the Ottawa area and Montreal which picked up the Sens/Montreal match up. Out west the Flames were in Buffalo, a hockey night in Canada treat for the long suffering western fans who frequently feel ignored by the Toronto centric broadcasts.However, as word quickly spread about Staal’s amazing night, the frequent updates from the Gardens became a welcome thing. Giving those with satelite dishes a cause to work the clicker into overtime on Saturday.Having been in a bit of a shadow of Sidney and Evgeni for the most part of this season, Jordan at eighteen stepped up and reminded everyone that the Pens are much more than that other Kid and the young Russian star.Staal recorded his first ever hat trick, with a timely over time goal that secured the win for the Penguins and put his name into the hunt for the scoring lead among rookies, trailing his fellow Penguin Malkin by four goals. His performance Saturday, also guaranteed him a place on the set with Don Cherry and Ron McLean, the equivalent of a papal audience for hockey players when they arrive in Toronto.Interestingly enough, the Hockey Night in Canada duo had been involved in a bit of a spat earlier in the night over the handling of an interview situation with Sidney Crosby by the Penguins. As William Houston tells the story in the Globe and Mail, Cherry and the Penguins PR official got into a bit of an argument over some comments that Cherry had made about the Penguins on Coach's Corner.By the end of the game, it was probably a case of Sidney who? Get us that Staal kid!The rise of Staal is just another positive sign for the team that may soon be the most talented bunch of Gypsies to ever look for a new home. From Crosby to Malkin, Staal to Fleury, the future is looking positively Silver for the Pens, Silver as in a trophy named Stanley.The only question left to answer is which city will this core of talented youngsters be working to bring hockey’s Holy Grail home to?Pittsburgh should phone the folks in Quebec for some guidance, they have been down the road before and it wasn’t an enjoyable journey what so ever.

Joe, now a battle hardened veteran, has spent his life surviving wars he had no right to survive. Yet his real test is coming: New forces are conspiring to start a great war like the universe has never seen, one that would rip apart the very fabric of Congress. Joe is conscripted to fight the very war everyone has been fearing since the rise of the Dhasha—the war against the legendary Dhasha Vahlin. Unfortunately for Joe, at the same time, other ruthless powers are conspiring to kill him before he fulfills the prophecy of the Trith. To fight the Vahlin, a desperate Congress comes up with a tactic it abandoned millennia ago—the use of multi-species groundteams. Joe, now a Prime Commander, is given command of his own team of misfits and pitted against the Vahlin’s forces in a war whose casualties are millions-to-one. Can Joe keep his group of aliens from killing each other long enough to make them into a battle-ready team? Will he survive long enough to kill the Vahlin? Or is he destined to destroy Congress, as the Trith have prophesized about him? The Legend of ZERO: Zero Recall is the exciting continuation of the ZERO series, sure to delight fans of Science Fiction Adventure, Alien Sci-Fi, Space Exploration, First Contact, Galactic Empire, Military Space Fleet, Apocalyptic, and Space Opera Science Fiction.

Last year, I was approached to submit journal entries compiling of letters and journals. Many of my submissions were accepted in the book, and the "author" informed me recently that it would be published soon. I know many of you have been to The Holy Land, some even recently. It's interesting that, in a place torn by war and frought with danger, all of us have never felt more peace.April 27, 1999I’ve had a lot of flights before, but never left the country.I’m on Delta Swiss-Airto Zurich, and the sunset is magnificent. Beneath us, you can see snow settled into the valleys and lakes. Then, just above a think line of clouds, the sky glows pink salmon and then an apricot/peach colour. It’s so bright that my window has turned pink. Above it all, the sky is clear and blue. IT si sos vast and free; looking out into the blue brings me peace as I journey to the Holy Land.Yesterday’s orientation scared me. I’m insecure about the Near East as it is, and all the warnings and rules only makes me more apprehensive. After talking to Chantelle and Crystal last night, I’m a bit more confident that I’m not about to start a riot or anything. Things will be fine as long as I acknowledge that this is a different culture and I need to respect those differences.Ah! The sky is now a dusky, cool, grayish blue. One pink streak across the air separates the darkening ground from the eggshell-blue above. Gorgeous.April 30, 1999College in JerusalemMelissa Merrill and I woke up at some insane hour (4:30am), faked sleeping until 5, and woke up to the alarm she couldn’t turn off. It was hilarious. She jumped up in the air and sat on the alarm with her pillow to stifle the sound. We figured we ought to get up and go with the A-C groups to by Shabot bread. What an excellent idea.At 5:30am, about 12 of us walked through the Old City to the bakery. 5:30 in the morning is gorgeous out here. There was a lavender mist hovering over the city, and a full moon hanging low. I took a picture. In the insanity of the hour, we held a dance party in our room (around 15 after) and the energy stayed with us until about 10 yards to the center (on the way back, it’s quite a steady hill). Like our tour guide warned us yesterday, “Everywhere in the Holy Land is uphill.”*I drew a picture in my journal*These birds are almost larger than the stray cats around here. The markings are black and gray, unlike anything I have ever seen before.Something about this fence I saw on the way to get Shabot bread caught my attention. While the design was beautiful, it was very simple. The barbed wire (two kinds) was such a contrast to the solid, steady design of the fence. This is a place torn by war.Saturday, May 1, 1999Happy May Day.It’s the first Sabbath here, and the room we use for sacrament is incredible. We are surrounded by windows, looking out at the Old City. Anywhere you look, you can see the Holy Land.I just got set apart as the teacher for the Jerusalem 1st branch of Israel’s Relief Society. In the blessing, I was told several things that have given me much to think about. The bishop, whom I’ve never met before, said that I am thought of fondly by the people in the program, and the sisters I teach look to me; but also that Christ thinks tenderly (no, “tender feelings,” is what he said) for me. That I have come down a difficult and complicated path to be where I am now, and to have patience for the Lord to complete the flower that I will be. It was very poetic, and very visual for me. He said that, through all these things, I would be prepared to walk a path I would not imagine in my future. There was a warning to not rush into things the world would have me do, and I can only assume that referred to my goal of kissing someone on the pyramids; I really don’t know.As I have been considering the meanings of this particular blessing, I have become aware of the pressures that surround me to “get” a boyfriend and to “move on” quickly with my education and career, including my most recent idea of being a flight attendant. Perhaps I should invest myself in the causes I have been so dedicated to these last few years. I already know that this is what I want to do with the rest of my life. To put aside my passion for this kind of work, which would inevitably strengthen women everywhere and bring comfort and peace to those who feel empty within, in order to get a job doing cool stuff and making money do not seem equal to each other in value; nor does the latter inspire me to become the kind of person I want to become.It is the warning and the whole “unknown future” thing which makes me uneasy- an unprepared feeling seems to hover over me, and I hate being unprepared. Somehow, I know that my not serving a mission has something to do with this. Once again, He will teach me patience, to put aside my own ideas and plans and be worthy to carry out His. I only wish I knew how exactly I am supposed to prepare for this. And what could be the “cares of the world” to disregard? Very few things actually influence me that are modern or popular, so who is it I may be trying to please before the Lord? I was blessed to “Remember my reasons” I came to the Holy Land. Those reasons were to draw closer to Heavenly Father and understanding His will in order to be more like Him and to DO His will. Also, it is incredibly important that I learn more of Christ’s life; as my Savior, whom I love, I want to understand and feel His Spirit in the way which He would have me do. That is what is important to me. Now and Forever.Another thing I loved was that it said, in the very start, that I love Jesus Christ, and He knows it. Right after my comments on Peter in John 21 (“Feed my sheep”). He knows me. I have no doubts about that. He has a plan for me. I only hope I am living worthy of it.May 3, 1999At the High Place of Gibeon, the Temple of Samual, called Nebi Samwill, a minaret and moesk. The feeling of reverence as I followed the steps down to the coffin erected as a monument to Samual was very touching. As I saw these women (women and men are on separate sides of the monument) I saw prayers written in Hebrew, stuffed into a plastic case overlaying the coffin/monument. I thought, “What could the prayers possibly be?” The answers came. Health. Sicknesses. Mothers for their children, help in their lives… I prayed with them.The photo of me and the soldiers: she was only 19. Her commanding officer was 20. They wanted to listen to my headphones.“Thank you, Elisha,” for healing the bitter waters and making them clean.May 5, 1999Al-Aqsa MosqueOne prayer here is worth 1,000 prayers anywhere else. Inside, you see about a dozen women, clad in white shawls or veils. As they kneel to touch their foreheads to the red carpet to pray, I feel somewhat that I have invaded their space. Like I am seeing something so incredibly personal, that I am not worthy to be here with them.Later…Neil Armstrong felt that it was more important to be standing here, where Christ stood, than to have ever stood on the moon. Hulda Gate (one of the double gates). John 9:11- Where Christ heals the blind man. Miracles are conceived in the womb of faith, and born by obedience.Later…A House in the time of the Herodian period, set on fire and burned, is something which makes me realize the magnitude of Christ’s prophecies. With a wall constructed out of stones the length of my arm and as high as my knee, built atop intricate floors of mosaic designs of flowers and geometric patterns (using tiles not larger than my pinky-nail); it is easy to understand the reactions of people who lived in such homes to Christ’s prophecy of rebuilding the temple in 3 days.May 8, 1999The Garden.It is Sabbath so quickly here. Finals are only just this next Friday, and I still haven’t opened a book. Still, like the man who fills his pockets with rocks, only to find in the morning they are jewels, I feel that this short week has gone by with many, many opportunities to collect these precious stones. Studying can wait this time around.Today, Melissa Packer, Judy Paxman and I walked down to Gethsemene. It is cooler today, with a good breeze that lifts the heavy smell of roses through The Garden. Everywhere you walk is made of stone. Stone slabs line the entire exterior of The Garden, and beside the rosebeds is a large, hollow, stone Cathedral. Inside is The Rock where Christ is believed to have bled from every pore. It is not at all what I imagined. It is low, almost level with the floor, and the Crusaders (of the 12th Century?) have built a podium above it. While this is possibly the prettiest Cathedral I’ve seen, it is empty . “Simple,” Mary called it, but it is more than a physically open room, the entire structure is built upon the rock with represents Christ’s ultimate time of loneliness and suffering. It saddens me that the tourists snapping pictures do not understand. The podium was probably a symbolic effort to incorporate remembering Christ’s pain during sermons, but what it does not do is show the joy and the purpose of His suffering.I feel so thankful to know of the Truth . To know that Christ has given His life in order to bring an eternal life to all men living now and in the past, and in the future. Outside the Cathedral, in the flowers and “silent witnesses” (olive trees), I feel a peace of knowing that Christ’s pain was not for nothing. That He lives on and has atoned for the many sins of this world. I am so lucky to have that reassurance and knowledge of a living God. I wish these people would understand.May 8, 1999“I feel so glad we don’t have veils on.”-Mary Udall, on trying to recognize people by the photo directory.

We started using Merrick canned food after the pet food contamination scare. We use a few pieces of the food to add some taste and texture to our dog dry food. He loves it! especially the "Mediterranean Banquet", which even has chick peas in it! and it's natural...and tasty too! (will tell you Bird, our Black Lab).

Cape Town - Flank Juan Smith is the only injury concern in the Springbok camp following the weekend’s last-gasp 22-29 loss to the All Blacks at the FNB Stadium.GALLERY: Springboks v All BlacksVIDEO: Referee Nigel Owens sent sprawlingTeam doctor Craig Roberts reported at a press conference at Loftus Versfeld on Monday that Smith has an abdominal muscle strain sustained in the first half of the Tri-Nations match. Smith did not take part in the training session on Monday morning and is receiving treatment for the injury.Roberts added that he was confident that Smith would recover in time to be considered for selection for this weekend’s clash with the Wallabies. The team will be announced on Tuesday.“There are a few guys with a bumps and bruises but that was expected after such a physical Test. We are fortunate that we have only one injury concern,” Roberts said. “There were reports that JP Pietersen had an injury but these are completely incorrect and he took part in the full session this morning,” he added. Sport24 Comments UK Bok supporter - 2010-08-23 14:12 Hope he is ok since he was a power house on Saturday. Shame he was subbed when he was....but that is PdV for you. Jacques - 2010-08-23 14:24 If Juan Smith is not gonna play,we are gonna loose again against the Aussies..the other available loose forwards are just not good enough at Test level..there is not another nr 7 who carries the ball so well,and is so aggressive in the defense than Juan,as well as the fact that he is a big line-out asset..Together with Schalk they are a good team on the flanks.. Genuine Springbok - 2010-08-23 14:30 Juan has character and easily the best springbok forward on the field. Let's pray he is able to pray. Bok captain.. - 2010-08-23 14:32 ...JUAN SMITH FOR BOK CAPTAIN..!!! HPD - 2010-08-23 14:33 If there is nothing wrong with JP Pietersen why did he not defend the last try properly? I don't even want to mention Habana's rubbish defence strategy! StuartW - 2010-08-23 14:36 It might be that this was the reason why he was subbed.....hope he can play on saturday JanDieMan - 2010-08-23 14:37 If JP is not injured, he should be dropped. He has then either lost pace or is totally unfit. I am sure Dagg is very fast, but JP could not even attempt to hall him in when the AB's scored that final try. Colin - 2010-08-23 14:38 How can you make a statement like that @UK Bok Supporter after reading that he was injured! He had to be subbed and maybe played on too long UK Bok supporter @ Colin - 2010-08-23 14:46 Point taken :) I still hope he will be ready for action this Saturday as he was clearly a froce to be reckoned with against the AB's Gaz - 2010-08-23 14:54 Juan for Captaincy 2011. John you an amazing man, ambassador but you tired buddy - Hang up those Boots! P Divvie - PLEASE GO!!!! Francoise - 2010-08-23 14:59 I sat in the staduim and watched this game and my man of the match hands down was Juan Smith. He broght a complete new energy to the pack ad his fringe play was excellent. Bryan Habana should be shot for comming off his line yet again and in many ways costs us the match. Morne Steyn can t make mistakes like he did kicking a penalty over the deadball line, not at this level??. Piere Spies yet again is not the player he is made out to be and is in my opinion at best a good impact player, he has gone 4 tests without showing any of the skills that got him in the team in the first place maybe he needs a rest. Francois Hougaard had a fantastic game and so too de Jongh. With regards to the Allblacks last try, there was no way in hell JP was going to catch him on the re treat and he should not be blamed for what was a defencive error beyond his control. The reason the boks lost this test is 2 fold, 1. Fitness and 2 . Looking after your posession, you cant turn over posession like that and expect to win test matches. Blue Jake - 2010-08-23 15:00 Good player but way too injury prone to build a team around. Springbokkies - 2010-08-23 15:01 Kan iemand net coach snor afsny sodat hy skoon lug in sy brein kan inkry want hy het dit nodig....hy dink soos sy snor en dit is half harrerig. Magtig dit is 'n sirkus met Springbokke. Ek kan nie dink hoe lank terug ek gesit het en Springbok wedstryd kon geniet het nie. Kan iemand net vir snor baas faber se hy is besig om vir homself lat te pluk.... en ergste is hy gee homself pakslae. Dit is darem sleg om te se jy skreeu vir Springbokke veral na Saterdag..... trevor - 2010-08-23 15:04 why could jp pietersen injure himself permantly Pielle - 2010-08-23 15:09 Juan Smityh needs to lose some weight..wow hes slow. Danie - 2010-08-23 15:12 @ Jacques, now we just need to get spies dropped. He's a K@k player, possibly the biggest loose forward, yet he's the biggest princess on the field. We need a 8th Man that carries the ball, oh i know of one, Duane Vermeulen. The bok management must build a 'young' team for the world cup - or keep players that can play high tempo rugby. Tito - 2010-08-23 15:14 PdV must stop using JW tactics and allow the senior players to run the team then maybe the Boks will win. It is clear that people knoqw what JW strategies are by now. It worked in the past but this season it is not working:-) mike - 2010-08-23 15:20 DROP HABANA PUT IN VAN DER HEEVER - PUT IN DEYSEL FROM THE SHARKS. JOHN YOU ARE TIRED BECOME A COACH OR SOMETHING... FRANS STEYN FULLBACK .. APLON LEFT WING , VAN DER HEEVER RIGHT WING... Dronkie - 2010-08-23 15:32 Moenie kom k*k praat van JP nie - wat van daai anne twee seker driee wat hy defend het. As dit nie deur hom was nie was ons n krieket score gegee... CmnSns - 2010-08-23 15:40 Juan is brilliant. He was our best player in the World Cup and is still our most rounded loose forward. I am a Bulls fan BUT please replace Spies with Dwayne Vermeulen. Spies just isn't a natural forward. Or could Juan play at 8 when Heinrich Brusouw is back? Roland - 2010-08-23 15:41 Pietersen could not get injured as he did absolutely nothing. He is supposed to be so fast, but did not even try to catch Dagg for the last match-winning try. Put Aplon on wing and Francois Steyn at fullback - awesome combination Mark Stevens - 2010-08-23 16:07 JP was not injured, that's just how he normally plays ha ha. Get rid of him, Habana and Spies immediately, retire John Smit and then select a team on merit not suntan. Oh, and get a real coach not a Muppet. hasie - 2010-08-23 16:09 JP het gespeel asof hy beseer was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Helium - 2010-08-23 20:24 Kyk ek het dit oorweeg om volgende jaar NZ toe te gaan vir WC, maar so waar as wragtig as Piet Helium ons afrigter bly, weier ek om verniet te gaan. Hy gaan nie hierdie span kan regkry of reg voor berei nie. Hoor net wat se hy vanaand weer op TV. Hy hoop Frans Steyn is ok, my liewe snorre, jy moet nie hoop nie , jy moet weet of hy OK is. Jy's die coach. Jy word nie betaal om te hoop nie. Dink jou aan Satredag se gamne was WC final en hy bring vir Januarie op veld. pages: 1

And so it continues...with the combination of cold temps, tax season, & being budget conscious Hubby & I had another fairly laid back, lazy weekend on our hands. I have to be a bit honest, as of today I was going slightly stir crazy and I'm thankful that next weekend we have some extra plans! Don't get me wrong, I'm always thankful for the uneventful weekends...but I also love to have fun things going on! Friday night was a quick dinner out at Chic-fil-A...why is it that Chic-fil-A is fast food but you don't really consider it fast food? We also made a visit to every craft store in town...Hobby Lobby, JoAnnn's, & Micheal's...as I was on the hunt for some materials for a fun Valentine's Day craft. No such luck...guess I'm just gonna have to decide on something else! We came home and settled in for movie night with The Social Network. Definitely a great flick! It was definitely a little strange to watch a movie about Facebook when I can still remember the excitement at my university when Facebook was first released to our campus. Seriously, I never would have thought it would become what it is today. Saturday was work for both of us in the morning & then a relaxing afternoon. I didn't have much to do so I laid down for what I planned to be a quick nap...well quick turned into 2 1/2 hours! Wow...I haven't napped that long in a very, very long time. Saturday night involved our only plans for the weekend. We had dinner with another couple, which happens to be one of our pastor's & his wife! I just love hanging out with them! We tried a fairly new place in Branson called the Bleu Olive and it will definitely be on the list for another visit. I can't think of anything bad about our meal. The night was topped off with a visit to Andy's for frozen custard...what could be better than that?!? Today we had church, a lunch of leftovers at home and then a football filled afternoon. I did make a quick trip to Walmart for a new humidifier...this dry, cold air is about to kill me! And I also made my trip to Walgreens--I'm back on the Thrifty Tuesday routine so stay tuned! I did manage to be a little productive as I cleaned out my bathroom cabinet underneath my sink! Yikes! Definitely threw away a ton of fingernail polish, old hair products, & other random bathroom stuff! Now I've got plenty of room for all my coupon finds! A pretty standard week ahead of us...nothing too blog-worthy at this point, but who knows what God will have in store for us! Posted by Lauren at 7:09 PM 1 comment: Lyr said... I just love weekends like that. How come I don't ever feel like that. Oh yea, I had kids and my husband works retail so weekend aren't really weekends. HAHA! So glad it was peaceful for you!

Ever had to deal with difficult administrative personnel pressing you to adhere to some (@?$&#!!) company policy? Regardless of your own personal experiences, the euphemisms abound for administration (the powers that be, the higher ups, paper tigers, tai chi masters, etc) suggest that the administrative department is difficult, bureaucratic, meddling and restrictive. As a young employee joining a company, one of the first few things an attached mentor often shares in a "between you and me" moment is his or her gripe with administrative policy. Administrators do have a crucial role to play in organisations. They set the boundaries and parameters within which organisation members are allowed to play. Administrators are often (either perceived as or truly) detached from the idealisms of the organisation, as their primary function is to regulate the workflow and processes of the organisation, in the hopes of ensuring that certain outcomes (often mundane ones) are achieved, such as neater procedures, safety, transparent accounts, etc. It therefore often makes sense to employ administrators who might not share the same essential pursuits of the other members of the organisation, so that a more objective and strict execution of implementations, policies, rules and regulations can result. Enforcing the red tape, so to speak. How do people respond to difficult, strict and/or assertive administrators, particularly when those administrators are attempting to necessitate certain policies? According to a 2009 study done by Hekman (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) and Steensma, Bigley and Hereford (University of Washington), our likelihood of responding positively to administrative pressure (such as to adopt new work behaviour) depends on the degree to which we identify either with our profession or our organisation. Formalising administrative pressure as Administrative Social Influence (ASI), the authors found that professional employees were most receptive to ASI to adopt new work behaviour when they strongly identified with the organisation and weakly identified with the profession. Conversely, ASI was counterproductive when professional employees identified strongly with the profession while identifying themselves weakly with the organisation. The authors showed this by looking at a sample of about 200 primary care professionals from a large, non-profit health maintenance organisation. ASI was carried out to get the health professionals to adopt a new internet-mediated email-based technology called secure messaging, designed to reduce patient demand for office visits which in turn lowers expenses. Compliance with ASI was thus the measured dependent variable - whether the health professionals responded promptly (within 24 hours) to secure messages from their patients. The health professionals' organisational and professional identification was measured, and their identification was correlated with their tendency to follow through on the call to use secure messaging. Additionally, their perception towards ASI pressure was measured as well. The results of their study showed that the more health professionals thought of themselves as part of an organisational team (strong organisational identification), the more they were likely to comply with new work behaviours solicited via ASI, and the less likely they were to perceive ASI as pressuring. The authors cite evidence that administrators are generally seen as "organisational guardians" (Freidson, 2001) and as "prototypical organisational members" (Golden et al., 2000), and when organisational identification is high, "professional employees’ sense of self is tied closely to a group that includes administrators. As a result [...] organizational identification leads professional employees to believe that organizational administrators are like them and on their side." On the other hand, people who identify strongly with their profession care very much about their professional responsibilities and tend to be skeptical of the interests and agenda of administrators who appear to care more about efficiency and profitability rather than high quality service. So, when health professionals have a greater sense of oneness with the nature of their profession rather than the bigger organisation they work within (strong professional identification), they were less likely to comply with new work behaviours solicited via ASI, and were also more likely to perceive ASI as meddling and demanding. The authors thus conclude that ASI is effective only in limited contexts (i.e., only when one type of identification was relatively high while the other was relatively low). While the authors prudently keep away from commenting on their personal feelings towards "the powers that be", their study implies that organisations should consider encouraging greater social identification of their employees with the organisation if they want to increase employee compliance with new implementations. Might prove less of a problem with professional administrators... Hekman, D., Steensma, H., Bigley, G., & Hereford, J. (2009).

I'm sure you've heard it before but there is a knocking sound coming from the engine of my 2000 WR400. I am not overly good mechanically but i like to try and learn. Using the manual i checked the clearances and assuming i did it right they are within spec. It said to put the line in the centre of the inspection hole which would be top dead centre. The only markings i could find where "H I" so i lined up the 'I' and checked the gaps. Is this correct or have i got no idea?

Sometimes, I write funny songs and sing them. I am the guy who wrote the theme song for The Dirty Midget©, who I went to high school with (along with our other mutual high school chum in Utah, who shall remain nameless for reasons of National Security). Now I have started making videos to my songs. As you can tell from this posting, I'm absolutely hilarious and truly deserve to be here.

For instance, my father-in-laws name is David with no middle name... as well as my husband's... so he is a Jr. If we were to give our unborn son a middle name (ex. David James) would he be a third?Thanks for any info..Jen

April 23rd, 2013 Uber Content’s Chris Hooper has directed a trio of ads for ESPN Radio that shows fans what happens when the station’s top sports talk show hosts take their candid honesty outside of the ESPN studio and into real life. Showcasing the host’s no-nonsense personalities at the expense of innocent bystanders, Hooper makes us laugh so hard that even the less-than-sports-inclined will want to tune in. In “Date,” Scott Van Pelt and Ryen Russillo let poor Carl know that the girl he wants to ask out is way out of his league; determining him as a “four,” – no, a “three and a half,” to save him the embarrassment of being shot down by a legit ten. ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike in the Morning take their usual debates to the dinner table. – with Mike Greenberg reviewing Mike Golic’s mothers’ mashed “Potatoes” as he would a game, going so far as to rank Aunt Edna’s signature dish, “second string potatoes.” And then there’s poor Checkers. In “Dog,” Colin Cowherd lets a neighbor know that his pet isn’t all that special, demoting Checkers to a “serviceable family dog.” The neighbor’s crestfallen expression proves that brutal honesty is great on the air of ESPN sports talk shows, but in real-life – maybe it’s better not to say anything at all.

A minor member of the Rutaceae and distant relative of the citrus fruits, the wampee, Clausena lansium Skeels (syns. C. wampi (Blanco), D. Oliver; C. punctata (Sonn.), Rehd. & E.H. Wils.; Cookia punctata Sonn.; Cookia wampi Blanco; Quinaria lansium Lour.), has not traveled sufficiently to acquire many vernacular names and most are derived from the Chinese huang-p'i-kuo, huang p'i ho, huang p'i kan, or huang-p'i-tzu. In Malaya, it is known as wampi, wampoi, or wang-pei; in the Philippines, uampi, uampit, huampit or galumpi; in Vietnam, hong bi, or hoang bi. In Thailand it is som-ma-fai. Fig. 50: The wampee (Clausena lansium) is an attractive tree with somewhat grapelike fruits, but the pulp is scant and the seeds large. Description The tree is fairly fast-growing or rather slow, depending on its situation; attractive, reaching 20 ft (6 m), with long, upward-slanting, flexible branches, and gray-brown bark rough to the touch. Its evergreen, spirally-arranged, resinous leaves are 4 to 12 in (10-30 cm) long, pinnate, with 7 to 15 alternate, elliptic or elliptic-ovate leaflets 2 3/4 to 4 in (7-10 cm) long, oblique at the base, wavy-margined and shallowly toothed; thin, minutely hairy on the veins above and with yellow, warty midrib prominent on the underside. The petiole also is warty and hairy. The sweet-scented, 4- to 5-parted flowers are whitish or yellowish-green, about 1/2 in (1.25 cm) wide, and borne in slender, hairy panicles 4 to 20 in (10-50 cm) long. The fruits, on 1/4 to 1/2 in (0.6-1.25 cm) stalks, hang in showy, loose clusters of several strands. The wampee may be round, or conical-oblong, up to 1 in (2.5 cm) long, with 5 faint, pale ridges extending a short distance down from the apex. The thin, pliable but tough rind is light brownish-yellow, minutely hairy and dotted with tiny, raised, brown oil glands. It is easily peeled and too resinous to be eaten. The flesh, faintly divided into 5 segments, is yellowish-white or colorless, grapelike, mucilaginous, juicy, pleasantly sweet, subacid, or sour. There may be 1 to 5 oblong, thickish seeds 1/2 to 5/8 in (1.25-1.6 cm) long, bright-green with one brown tip. Origin and Distribution The wampee is native and commonly cultivated in southern China and the northern part of former French Indochina, especially from North to Central Vietnam. It was growing in the Philippines before 1837 and was reintroduced in 1912. It is only occasionally grown in India and Ceylon. Chinese people in southern Malaya, Singapore and elsewhere in the Malaysian Archipelago grow the tree in home gardens. It is cultivated to a limited extent in Queensland, Australia and Hawaii. In 1908, it was said to have been growing in a few Hawaiian gardens for many years but was not in general cultivation. It was brought to Florida as an unidentified species in 1908. The United States Department of Agriculture received seed from Hong Kong in 1914 (P.I. 39176); from Canton in 1917 (P.I. 45328), and from Hawaii in 1922 (P.I. 55598). Dr. David Fairchild was pleased with a wampee tree he grew at his 'Kampong' in Coconut Grove, Miami, and a small cottage near it was named the 'Wamperi'. A few other specimens have been growing in southern Florida for some years, mostly in experimental collections, but the fruit is unknown to most residents despite some efforts to arouse interest in it. The wampee was growing in Jamaica in 1913. Two trees were thriving at the Federal Experimental Station, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, and there were specimens on St. Croix, in the 1920's. Seeds from a Chinese grower in Panama were planted at the Lancetilla Experimental Garden, Tela, Honduras, in 1944. The tree does well in greenhouses in England. Varieties A Chinese work translated and published in 1936, mentioned 7 varieties of Foochow, describing and illustrating 6 of them. They vary somewhat in form and size, number of seeds, season of ripening, as well as in flavor: 'Niu Shen' ("cow's kidney")–sour in flavor; 'Yuan Chung' ("globular variety")–sweet-subacid; 'Yeh Sheng' ("wild growing")–sour; 'Suan Tsao' ("sour jujube")–is very sour, of poor quality; 'Hsiao Chi Hsien' ("small chicken heart")–sweet subacid; 'Chi Hsin' ("chicken heart")–sweet; "best flavor of all"; 'Kua Pan' ("melon section")–sweet-subacid. A professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Canton listed 8 varieties of Kwangtung with, as Dr. Swingle stated, long, descriptive names such as and Climate The wampee is subtropical to tropical, and young and mature trees have been scarcely hurt by brief exposure to 28º to 30º F (-2.22º to -1.11º C) in Florida, but they have been killed at temperatures of 20º F (-6.667º C) and lower. Soil The tree seems quite tolerant of a range of soils, including the deep sand and the oolitic limestone of southern Florida but thrives best in rich loam. It requires watering in dry periods though good drainage is essential. Propagation The wampee grows readily from seeds which germinate in a few days. It can also be grown from softwood cuttings and air-layers, and can be veneer-grafted onto wampee seedlings. Dr. Swingle said it could be grafted onto grapefruit. However, trials on various Citrus rootstocks in Florida have shown various degrees of incompatibility and few, if any, can be said to have been really successful in the long run. The wampee is not a first-class fruit and the tree is of only casual interest, even as an ornamental, except in Asia. Cultivation No particular cultural requirements have been noted in the literature, except that the wampee is subject to chlorosis on limestone soils and needs applications of manganese and zinc as well as organic fertilizer and mulch to overcome this condition. Sturrock recommends thinning of the crown to avoid overcrowding. Season and Yield The fruits ripen in July and August in Florida; from June to October in Southeast Asia; in November and December in Queensland. Seedlings begin to bear when 5 to 8 years of age or sometimes older. Mature trees may yield 100 lbs (45 kg) of fruits in a season. Food Uses A fully ripe, peeled wampee, of the sweet or subacid types, is agreeable to eat out-of-hand, discarding the large seed or seeds. The seeded pulp can be added to fruit cups, gelatins or other desserts, or made into pie or jam. Jelly can be made only from the acid types when under-ripe. The Chinese serve the seeded fruits with meat dishes. In Southeast Asia, a bottled, carbonated beverage resembling champagne is made by fermenting the fruit with sugar and straining off the juice. Food Value Florida-grown fruits have shown 28.8 to 29.2 mg/100 g ascorbic acid. Medicinal Uses The fruit is said to have stomachic and cooling effects and to act as a vermifuge. The Chinese say that if one has eaten too many lychees, eating the wampee "will counteract the bad effects. Lychees should be eaten when one is hungry, and wampees only on a full stomach". The halved, sun-dried, immature fruit is a Vietnamese and Chinese remedy for bronchitis. Thin slices of the dried roots are sold in Oriental pharmacies for the same purpose. The leaf decoction is used as a hair wash to remove dandruff and preserve the color of the hair.

The key to this category is "hangout." It's not so much about great coffee, savory sandwiches or a multitude of sweet treats, although Epic has all those things and more. No, it's about the funk. It's about anchoring the north end of Fourth Avenue, that vein of funky gold in Tucson's core. It's about the art that hangs on the walls, the weird stuff hanging from the rafters, and most of all, the funksters who hang out there. On any given day, it's an alternative Who's Who of artists, musicians, activists, students and desert rats. And don't forget the omnipresent guy with the eye patch. Make your next voyage Epic. Stop in for a sarsaparilla float and a good gawk.

Jodie Simpson was a woman in a persistent vegetative state who died after a Court of Protection accepted her artificial feeding and hydration could be stopped. Her family and the Court have allowed details of her case to be revealed to enable a discussion about what they feel were unacceptable delays in the process of going to the Court. There was a two-year delay in assessment by a specialist centre and then a further one-year delay in approaching the Court. This for the family was on top of the necessary 6-month delay to permit a diagnosis of PVS to be safely made after this type of brain injury. (It is 12 months following traumatic injury, 6 months after other causes.) Others, however, argued that such inbuilt delays are an important in enabling even small amounts of recovery, which they argue can take years, and feel that this in effect protects vulnerable patients. It is clear that there is very little publically available information on the extent of this issue in the UK. Finally, unlike in other countries such as the US, there seems no suggestion in associated media for any role for Clinical Ethics in this most challenging UK healthcare issue.

I subscribe to many different blogs, but the one that I look forward to most is Elliot Eisenberg’s. Dr. Eisenberg is the former Senior Economist with the National Association of Home Builders in Washington, D.C. and he always provides valuable, up-to-the-minute information as well as informative topics that make you think. Recently, Elliot pointed out something very interesting all homebuilders should keep in mind: Throughout 2015 about 500,000 households that went into foreclosure or were forced into a short sale in 2007, if they did their due diligence repairing their credit, will once again be able to qualify for a home loan. This pool of buyers will increase to over 7 million between now and 2022, with the biggest spike being between 2016 through 2019. Great news for the Real Estate Industry; we all know we could use some of that! It looks like we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but is your home building business prepared to capitalize on this information? How Can Your Business Rise From The Ashes Of The Recession? Today’s building landscape is much different than it was a decade ago. Builders need to gravitate towards a new way of thinking, strategizing and marketing in order to prosper from the opportunities coming our way. With that being said, let’s break down the various marketing channels you must incorporate into your business or risk missing your piece of the pie. In this article we discuss the first component needed to generate more traffic to your sales center—your homebuilding website. Building Your Website Is More Important Than Building Your Model Home The above statement may have sounded ridiculous a decade ago, but in today’s builder market it’s an undisputed fact. You’re in the industry, certainly you’re aware that 90% of your new home prospects begin their search online. When they visit your website, and it doesn’t clearly provide all the information they seek, trust me, they will move on to the competition. Your website needs to be user friendly, authoritative, informative and, believe it or not, entertaining. Buyers feel more secure about your product when they realize you’ve taken the time and effort to put your best foot forward. Highlighting images, videos and floor plans of your properties is crucial, but one of the most important techniques that will keep buyers on your website from is something very few builders put into practice— client testimonials! The average homebuyer will consult at least 11 consumer reviews regarding your business before taking that vital step of scheduling a visit or requesting more information. Make their research easier by providing owner referrals right there on your site! Take some time and take a serious, unbiased look at your current website. How does it compare to the competition? Is it easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye? Are you providing all the pertinent information a homebuyer requires? Do you have customer testimonials strategically placed throughout the site as constant presence of how happy your homeowners are? Is your site mobile friendly, meaning it is easily viewable on cell phones, iPads and tablets? Does your homebuilding business need a new website? Feel free to contact me directly at 301.416.7861 and I will be happy to perform a no obligation review of your current site. It never hurts to have a fresh set of unbiased eyes review what you’re presenting to the general public.

At 1.06am today, sensors at the ­British Geological Survey's stations in Devon, Herefordshire and Aberdeen picked up a tremor that registered around magnitude five on the Richter scale. Yet it was quickly clear this was no earthquake. "Earthquakes and nuclear bombs have quite different seismographs," said the survey's David Booth. "Earthquakes happen along fault lines and you get compression waves, known as P-waves, and shear waves from the movement. With a bomb it is mostly just compression waves meaning the ­seismograph is a lot less complicated." The epicentre of the explosion was in the county of Kilju, deep in the mountains of north-eastern North Korea and the home of the P'unggye-yok nuclear test site used when the authorities last exploded a nuclear device in October 2006. Analysts expecttoday's test to have been carried out in a similar way to the previous one, when a horizontal hole was drilled into the side of Mount Mantab. "You drill a hole in the ground because you do not want the explosion to release any radioactive material at the surface," said Booth. "The explosion would have produced a vibration similar to a very large quarry blast – most likely a single thump which local people, within several ­kilometres of the blast, would certainly have noticed. The explosion produces a cavity deep underground – this may collapse to create a saucer shaped depression in the ground perhaps 100m across, but not necessarily immediately." There are two main nuclear weapon technologies. The simpler is "gun type". Here a piece of fissile uranium is fired at a fissile uranium target, similar to firing a bullet down a gun barrel. Implosion devices, as stockpiled by the US and UK, are more complex and use plutonium, and are more suited to a lightweight weapon. In the implosion method, a fissile mass of plutonium, is surrounded by high explosives that compress the material with an imploding shock wave, resulting in an increased density and nuclear detonation. North Korean scientists are believed to have spent the past three years improving their implosion technology. "They get the plutonium from their nuclear reactor at Yongbyon. The 2006 attempt is believed to have been a bit of a dud," said Ian Davis, a security consultant. "This one is much bigger." Russian defence experts estimated the explosion's yield at between 10 and 20 ­kilotons, many times more than the 1 kiloton measured in its first nuclear test. Since the first nuclear test was carried out in July 1945, more than 2,000 have been carried out, more than half by the US military. The first British test was aboard HMS Plym off the Australian coast in 1952. It vaporised the ship. Experiments are conducted to assess whether the device will detonate successfully and second to get a measure of the damage it is likely to inflict on people, buildings and infrastructure. Tests have historically been divided into three categories depending on whether they are detonated in the air, underwater or underground. Signatories to the comprehensive test ban treaty halted all nuclear tests in 1996. Since then computer simulation and "subcritical tests" – explosions too small to produce a nuclear blast — have been used by the US and UK.

The ACOM3x2000A is a HF power splitter / combiner which is a passive device designed to sum the outputs of three HF linear amplifiers into a common load while the amplifiers are driven by a single exciter. There is no difference from the operation of a three times more powerful single amplifier. For proper operation, the combiner requires three amplifier outputs having equal amplitudes and phases, i.e. three coherent signals. This is achieved by the use of three identical amplifiers in the three channels. For best results we recommend three automatic amplifiers of the type ACOM2000A. Manual tune amplifiers with a precise tuning indicator like ACOM1200, ACOM1000, ACOM1010 or ACOM1011 can be used too. All these models use a broadband input network which sets minimum phase differences between the units. An automatic protection circuit is implemented in the ACOM3x2000A, which monitors the three amplifier outputs during operation. In case of an imbalance, the protection trips thus cutting the drive to the amplifiers and switching the transceiver output to an internal 50 Ohm dummy load. The imbalance power, both input and output, is swamped by powerful resistors until the protection trips. Therefore the transceiver and the three amplifiers are well protected. After fixing the trouble you can resume operation by pressing

Yes, Mr. Cruz Anthony has his first photo shoot coming up!A wonderful local photographer is doing some free photo sessions in order to build her portfolio and Cruzy gets to be one of the lucky subjects.I'm really excited because this will be his first professional photo shoot (except for his semi-pro Nana who did his pictures when he was first born...they were so handsome). My only dilemma, and its a big one, is finding the perfect outfit!!!!!!!!Here are the links she sent as examples of good picks: (Click picture to enlarge)I'm really loving the little guy to the upper right hand corner in the whites and beiges. I just think babies look so sweet in those vintage-y clothes. Granted, we can't afford to buy him anything new.... Seeing as PG&E was due last week (and we aren't any closer to paying it) but I'm thinking I'll be able to rummage up something cute from Cruz's drawers + Diego's hand-me-downs + my mommas adorable handmade gifts and thrift store finds!Any suggestions on what kinds of outfits translate best into print?

May 31, 2013 Miami boasts, of course, a reputation as a major clubbing center — but in decades past, the city is also where a big chunk of clubbing music actually got made. Most histories of disco music focus on New York legends like DJ Larry Levan and clubs like the Paradise Garage, where funk and R&B met a new dance beat. But Miami had its own disco sound — and not just that of the Bee Gees, who did, in fact, record major material like their 1975 album Main Course here. © 2017 WLRN

It is election time and the political demagogues are here once again, this time with renewed promises and energy. Before I began to write this article I had two questions in mind .Firstly as a student of political science what is my role in this year’s elections and secondly what should we be looking out for in our would-be political leaders in this electioneering year. Indeed, political leadership is very important in the development and the nation building of any state. It was not for nothing that when President Barack Obama of the United States visited Ghana in 2009 he tasked us to build strong institutions rather than strong men. Implied in this is the ability of the state to have-in the words of Gabriel Almond- regulative capabilities, distributive capabilities, responsive capabilities, extractive capabilities and extensive capabilities. In the light of this one can say that the trouble with Ghana is the failure of leadership. People may argue that Kwame Nkrumah is the best president Ghana has ever had but he had his own troubles uniting the people using the state power. T. Peter Omari in his “The Anatomy Of An African Dictatorship” said “kwame Nkrumah’s aspiration to unite Africa inspired many, but he overreached himself and in February 1966 was removed from power with remarkable ease.” Be as it may, we shall in the subsequent paragraphs enumerate the qualities that a leader should exhibit to merit a victory in an election. Leadership should be understood in two distinct but related ways. Firstly, we should look at the personal qualities of competence, integrity, perseverance, commitment and honesty of individual leaders at the top. Secondly, common vision, common focus and above all the collective traits of the desire for development of the people and the willingness to serve the masses. The standard of leadership on our campuses and associations has left much to be desired. We should not elect leaders who are more interested in silencing their opponents, than in pursuing justice. We should not elect leaders who preach one thing and do the exact opposite. We should not elect leaders who do not understand the economic, social, human and political sensitivity of our country. We do not want leaders who place themselves above the constitution and the laws of the country. We do not need leaders who have no sense of tomorrow, other than that of their private bank accounts. We do not want leaders who will ‘gargantually’connive with appointees of the president to loot the state coffers. We do not want leaders who will make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions. We should put aside our ethnic, religious, cultural and tribal sentiments and rather cultivate a modern form of political behaviour where we identify more with the state than the aforementioned groups. Tribal and ethnic conflict will never help us. In reality the politician has a single and exclusive role and that is to get re-elected. Thus far, we have been looking at the qualities that should characterise a good leader. Let us now turn our attention to the role we can play in making this year’s election a success. It is often said that when you blame the cat for stealing your meat you must equally blame your meat for smelling. It is about time we realised the fact that the destiny of a country cannot be left solely in the hands of politicians and that we as individuals can equally shape our destiny. Ghana is not the exclusive preserve of any political party and therefore we the citizenry cannot be taken for granted. Indeed, elections are very important in any democratic country. We have seen countries in Africa and the world at large who are still struggling to build their states and nations as a result of their inability to manage their elections. Ghana has often been praised as the beacon of African democracy but this is not to say that we are not without challenges and setbacks. If we could recall, there were scores of violence and tension across the country during the 2008 elections. I was an eye and ear victim to these tensions in the Bawku municipality which resulted in people fleeing the town. The on-going biometric registration should serve as the barometer to measure our readiness for election 2012.As citizens we must cooperate with the electoral personnel to make this a success. We should also realise that Ghana is the only country we have and we must therefore protect it jealously. We must avoid violence and intimidation in electoral centres. We should also respect our political opponents since we are all fighting for a common purpose- to win political power- but with different strategies and approaches. It is also high time we held our leaders accountable for their promises regardless of which political party they come from. It is about time we said no to the politics of insult and ethnocentrism. Ghana is far bigger than the NDC, NPP, CPP, PPP etc. Let us unite and make Ghana a proud nation .

But here's something personalI've been listed on the Seattle Polyamory Mailing List member's page for a long time, even though I haven't participated on that mailing list for a really long time. I just got tired of the bickering on the list. Anyway, today someone in my overall org actually came to my office and asked me out after seeing me listed there and realizing that I work in the same building.Isn't that like an HR violation in the making? Anyway, I wasn't offended, I mean, I've been listed there for so long, and I keep forgetting to ask to be removed. So I just told him so, and he went away, looking pretty damned embarrassed. Poor guy, all the way from Noosa Australia too!But it seems logical to mention here that I have no intention to return to polyamory. It's been a roller-coaster ride, and I realized that what it satisfied in my life were areas that shouldn't be dependant on romantic relationships with other people. I still believe that it's a valid lifestyle, don't get me wrong, but I've decided that it isn't for me. I'm tired. I want to settle down. I want to raise my son and have more babies. I want to get married to one person, live a rich life, grow old, and die. That's a good thing about on-line dating, people don't mind if you are seeing several people at the same time.And as much as some of you might think this has to do with Chris, it has just as much to do with me. Though it doesn't hurt that he's the only person I've met who seems to be utterly without pretension, and he loves me even if I AM a big jerk, without pretending that it's one of my strengths.Needless to say, I requested to be removed from that page. ;-)

Storymap of Jämsä is a map that has, instead of regular tourist attractions, stories and memories of citizens of Jämsä, and the location where they happened. Through these stories visitors can get to know Jämsä in a more personal level and possibly find some connections to their own lives. For locals the map can open new points of view to familiar places and trigger their own memories. Storymaps can be found in two postboxes by the two bridges at the river that flows through Jämsä center. Most of the stories are printed in the map, but some of them have only their location marked in the map, you can go along the riverbank to find the spot, and read the story in a sign on the location where the story originally happened. The stories that are not in the printed map or the signs along the river, can be read in Storymap blog. In the postboxes along the maps there is also a notebook, where visitors can write their own comments and stories for other visitors to read. Storymap of Jämsä was originally made 2012 for Between the Bridges, the annual environmental art exhibition in Jämsä, and it continued in the exhibition also during year 2013 and 2014. The story of us putting up the exhibition was in the first page of the local newspaper: Leave a Reply Cancel reply Enter your comment here...

Suárez and Messi destroy Rayo as Barça go top Posted on March 8, 2015 by barcacentralnic Barça return to the top of La Liga after a 6-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano in today’s midday game in front of the biggest crowd of the season at Camp Nou. Leo Messi netted a record-breaking hat-trick to draw level with Cristiano Ronaldo on 30 league goals this season but the man-of-the-match was Luis Suárez who scored twice and was involved in five of the six Barça goals. Real Madrid’s unexpected defeat at San Mames yesterday gave Barça the chance to recuperate top spot in the title race for the first time since the start of November. Barça could not allow the chance to slip and Luis Enrique put out a strong team, making five changes to the team that started in the cup at Villarreal with Bravo, Alves, Mathieu, Xavi and Pedro coming in for Ter Stegen, Montoya, the injured Busquets, Rafinha and the suspended Neymar. The only surprise in the line-up was the absence of the in-form Rakitic who again started on the bench. As expected Paco Jemez’s Rayo played a very high defensive line and Barça didn’t take long to look for the ball into space for Pedro or Suárez to chase. Rayo keeper Cristian Alvarez played like a sweeper, constantly coming out of the penalty box to clear. However, it was Barça’s high press that led to the first goal with Mathieu winning the ball from a Rayo throw-in near the corner flag. Xavi then played an exceptional first-time pass as the ball bounced to send Suárez into the left of the area and the Uruguayan finished splendidly with a shot with the outside of his right-foot that flew past Alvarez at the near post. Suárez was a constant threat to the Rayo defence in the opening exchanges. In the ninth minute he took the ball past Alvarez on another charge out of his area, but then underhit his pass to Pedro which allowed Ba to clear. Then three minutes later the Uruguayan turned Ba from a Barça throw on the left and as he entered the area the Rayo defender appeared to clip him from behind but referee Gil Manzano ignored the penalty appeal. One has to wonder how the game might have finished if the ref had awarded a penalty and sent off Ba at this point. As things were, Rayo began to play their way back into the game. Trashorras had already forced a diving save from Bravo with a long-distance drive, and as the minutes passed Insua again tested Bravo and Trashorras curled a free-kick narrowly wide of the post. Messi was having a quiet first half by his standards but in the 32nd minute he came close to scoring a fabulous goal with a first-time volleyed reverse flick over the goalkeeper after Suárez’s chipped pass, but the ball rolled just wide and out of play before the Argentinian could arrive. The chances dried up for both teams in the remainder of the first half though there was one nimble-footed dance into the area from Iniesta but his final pass failed to find the well-marked Messi. Rayo had responded well after briefly looking suicidal in the opening minutes but the second half would be a nightmare for the visitors. The second goal came just three minues after the restart and Suárez played his role with good movement to the right wing and a dangerous low cross which forced a defender to clear for a corner. Xavi took the kick, sending a cross to the near post where Jordi Alba, in acres of space, looped a header over the keeper and against the far post and Piqué pounced on the rebound to score his fourth league goal of the season from close range. In the 54th minute Iniesta forced a fine save from Alvarez with a low drive but shortly after Tito was guilty of an off-the-ball tug on Suárez as a cross came into the area and Gil Manzano awarded a penalty and sent off the Rayo defender for his second bookable offence. Messi’s penalties have not be great of late and he again saw his spot-kick stopped by the diving keeper but on this occasion the ref decided the kick should be retaken for encroachment by a Rayo player. Messi took the second chance, firing his shot into the opposite corner to his first effort. With Rayo down to ten men it looked like the floodgates would open. Rakitic came on in place of Mascherano to play half an hour as the midfield pivot and Messi quickly added two more to complete a twelve-minute hat-trick. In the 63rd minute Alba crossed from the left, a defender headed the ball more up than out, and Suárez controlled the dropping ball brilliantly, turning to shoot, and when Alvarez saved, Messi was there to score from the rebound. Five minutes later, with Rafinha now on for Iniesta, another Alba cross from the left came to Messi who sold the keeper a sensational dummy before stroking the ball into the empty net. Adriano replaced Alba but Barça slowed up a bit. In the 80th minute a rare Rayo attack saw Bueno played into the area and Alves made a desperate lunge that brought down the Rayo player and the ref gave another penalty and sent Alves off for being the last defender. Bueno fired the penalty high into the net to deny Bravo another clean sheet. For those of you who read my match preview you will know this now gave me my correct score bet of 5-1. However, with ten against ten the game was so open another goal seemed inevitable. Suárez forced another good save from Alvarez then after Rakitic sent him through the Uruguayan was too generous again and over-hit his pass to Messi. Then with the game in injury time Messi sent in Suárez for another chance and this time he took the ball round the keeper to score. (I promise I still cheered the goal!). There was still time for a final chance for Suárez but the overworked Alvarez saved with his foot. Six goals and recovering top spot before we expected to make it an excellent weekend for us. If we can beat Eibar next week we will have the psychological advantage of going into the Clásico as leaders, and then the chance of going four points clear if we beat Madrid. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself and the biggest danger for Barça now could be an excess of euphoria. It is vital to keep the good momentum going with a win at Eibar but we already have a problem with Alves and Alba both suspended for that game. Luis Enrique will also be aware that both Mathieu and Mascherano are on four yellow cards which means another booking for either player at Eibar will see him miss the Madrid game. Barça: Bravo 7; Alves 6, Piqué 6.5, Mathieu 7, Alba 7 (Adriano m69, 6); Xavi 7, Mascherano 6 (Rakitic m60, 7), Iniesta 7 (Rafinha m65, 6.5); Messi 8, Suárez 9, Pedro 6. Rayo: Alvarez; Tito, Abdoulaye Ba, Amaya, Insua; Trashorras, Jozabed (Quini m65); Lica (Aquino m69), Bueno, Kakuta; Leo Baptistao (Manuche m80).

NEN-EN 14161+A1 specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, materials, construction, testing, operation, maintenance and abandonment of pipeline systems used for transportation in the petroleum and natural gas industries. It applies to pipeline systems on land (see exclusion below) and offshore, connecting wells, production plants, process plants, refineries and storage facilities, including any section of a pipeline constructed within the boundaries of such facilities for the purpose of its connection. The extent of pipeline systems covered by this European Standard is illustrated in Figure 1. This European Standard applies to rigid, metallic pipelines. It is not applicable for flexible pipelines or those constructed from other materials, such as glass-reinforced plastics. This European Standard is applicable to all new pipeline systems and can be applied to modifications made to existing ones. It is not intended that it apply retroactively to existing pipeline systems. It describes the functional requirements of pipeline systems and provides a basis for their safe design, construction, testing, operation, maintenance and abandonment. On-land supply systems used by the European gas supply industry from the input of gas into the on-land transmission network up to the inlet connection of gas appliances are excluded from the scope of this European Standard."

Found another one. Another picture of perfection in color and textures for the home. Love, love, love. (found here)Lemons, yellow, greige-ness, blue, green, pop of red, rustic wood tabletop and a book on flowers. The feel of this photo in combination with this previous photo of perfection make me even more anxious (if that's humanly possible) for my own house! I am really so excited to have a space for Cody and I to work on and tweak and make 'us'. I have a crazy amount of clippings and notes (and then there's Pinterest) that it could be quite a challenge for me to narrow down which ideas to use, but I'm sure Cody will keep me on track!

We all have trouble sleeping or staying awake at one time or another. But if you are not getting enough quality sleep or if your problems with sleeping interfere with your health or daily life, you may consider speaking to a doctor or a sleep specialist. Some signs and symptoms that you may have a sleeping disorder include: ongoing or frequent difficulty sleeping snoring gasping and/or interruptions in breathing while sleeping waking frequently in the night to urinate waking in the morning still feeling exhausted feeling tired during the day despite a "good night's sleep" inability to function and go about your daily activities dozing off while engaged in sedentary activities, like reading or watching television daily need to nap falling asleep while driving having a hard time concentrating or paying attention having memory difficulties having slowed responses changes in mood If you experience any of these, talk to your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will ask you about your sleep patterns, so it may be helpful to keep a sleep diary for a week or so before your appointment. Record what time you went to sleep, when you woke up in the morning and if you felt refreshed, how many times you woke up during the night, and for how long you were awake. Also record what you ate and drank from dinner until bedtime. Your doctor will perform a physical examination and may order some blood tests to check for any underlying medical cause for your sleeping problems. Your doctor may also refer you to a sleep lab to help determine what is causing your sleep issues. In the meantime though, practice good sleep hygiene to help improve your sleep.

Using the Component Router In Angular 1: Lazy LoadingHomepageSign in / Sign upBrandon 19, 2016Using the Component Router In Angular 1: Lazy LoadingOne of the best features of the component router in Angular 2 is support for lazy loading out the box. The component router for Angular 1 can also take advantage of this functionality. Combined with ocLazyLoad, a third party library for Angular 1, lazy loading of modules before loading routes is easy.ocLazyLoadLoad modules & components on demand (lazy load) with we’ll start with a simple Angular 1.5 application. The entire application including all of its components and routes load at once.If this were a larger application, you would have more modules and components to manage. Its good practice to break up your application into smaller, more manageable modules and only load the parts of your application that are necessary upfront. Our next step is to move parts of the application into a separate module. First you’ll need to add the ocLazyLoad scripts into the <head> section of your document, and then add the module to your main application.From there, we will change our User route to user the loader function instead of the component. The loader function must return a promise that resolves to the name of the component for the route. The ocLazyLoad loading mechanism returns a promise letting us know the module has been loaded, and then we’ll return the name of our user component.Only the main module remains in the application. We have our user module in a separate file (user.js) that is loaded only when the user visits the User Profile link.And that’s it, the core of the application has been loaded with other sections of the application loaded on demand. You could also use lazy loading to verify a user has access to certain parts of your application before even loading in the module, which gives you more control of what users have access to. Thanks to the component router, lazy loading modules in your application is a little bit easier.See here for a live example on Plunker: RobertsShare25Never miss a story from Brandon Roberts, when you sign up for Medium.

Sligo is a great choice for that one-day shopping expedition and once your legs are too tired to shop any more, you can make your way back to the tranquility of Strandhill and unwind. The town itself boasts a mix of excellent indigenous shops and well known multinational outlets. The centre is cohesive, comprimising quaint, easy to access interconnecting streets and side lanes, equally suited to those who are short of time or those who wish to meander. The two shopping centres in the heart of the town, Quayside and Johnston court house many multinational brands and enhance Sligo’s attraction as a shopping destination.

Along the riverside, east of the town centre, Cleveragh retail park hosts other well-known outlets, and Carraroe Retail park five kilometeres outside the city offers even more choice.

- My medium is acrylic paints on artist brand, gallery wrapped canvas. Unlike machine-made canvases, all the corners on this canvas are hand folded on opposing sides. This technique eliminates having two folds on any one side, thus eliminating any chance of binding when framing the painting. Every staple what's used is galvanized, eliminating staple corrosion and any chance of rust forming. - This item ships within 2-3 business days, unless otherwise discussed. •••Custom Order••• If you love this piece and my style of work but it's not the right size or colours, I would be delighted to discuss your personal requirements. Before I sent the painting to you, I will sent you an image by e-mail. Just let me know which size you 'd like the painting to be and I'll quote a price for you. About the artist: I'm a freelance Dutch artist, living in California with my lovely family. As long as I can remember I have been intrigued by art and creativity. I see art everywhere, anytime. I started with mostly abstract acrylic paintings, which you can find a lot of in my store, and later expanded to watercolor portraits and oil paintings. Many of my paintings are inspired by nature, which I have a deep appreciation for. I love going to the beach, breathing in the ocean air and listening to the sound of the crashing waves. Painting at the beach is one of my favorite things to do. Most of my paintings are very colorful, I love the thought of a creative & colorful life. If you'd like to see more about more about my paintings in progress and sneak peeks, check out my instagram: @rowanelisa Have a wonderful day and thank you for taking a look at my art! Feedback I received in the past: "I hired Rowan to create a painting as an anniversary present. She was very good about helping me develop my seed of an idea and great about communicating all the way through. The painting arrived on time and better than I could have hoped! Thanks!" "The artist communicates clearly and is good at making sure the details of the project are understood. The work itself is excellent and the artist is also good at handling the details that go with it. After accepting a job with a very short timeline she was able to both deliver everything by the deadline and was clearly organised to do so. I highly recommend this artist." "I highly recommend this talented Artist and give 5 stars for this transaction! "RowanElisa" offers a variety of original art from cards to paintings, watercolors, portraits, and more. Each item makes a unique and wonderful gift for family, friends, or yourself! :)" "I love my custom painting! The colors are beautiful and I love the texture. You are very talented! Thanks you!"

Silver Saint Cloud(Every cloud has a silver lining)It has been announced that the character of Silver Saint Cloud is set to appear in the 2nd season of the Gotham TV series. I’m sure all non-comic book fans said “Who?”. The tragic up and down romance of Bruce Wayne and Silver Saint Cloud began when they first met in Detective Comics #470 (June 1977), written by Steve Englehart. The pair started to date soon after. Silver started to suspect that Bruce had a hidden secret due to various disappearances and odd behavior. Silver eventually deduced Batman’s secret identity, mostly by recognizing Bruce Wayne’s chin! Silver breaks up with Bruce, which causes him to take out his frustration on some of Gotham’s criminals and to question whether he should retire his Batman identity. After a difficult battle with the Joker, Batman confronts Silver, who tells him she knows he is Bruce Wayne. Silver also tells him it will never work between them, saying she could never stop worrying about himendangering his life, after which she runs away and leaves town for many years. Silver (and Steve Engelhart) would return to town years later in the miniseries Batman: Dark Detective #1-#6 (July-September 2005). Silver meets with Bruce to ask for a campaign contribution for her fiancé, a Senator running for re-election. Silver falls back in love with Bruce and intends to leave her fiancé. Eventually, Batman has to save Silver and the senator from a house filled with lethal booby traps by the Joker. The senator loses and arm and leg to the booby traps. Bruce tells Silver to stay with the senator until his campaign is over. Silver, angered by this, leaves Bruce’s life again. Silver would next appear in another miniseries, Batman: Widening Gyre (August 2009-July 2010) written by director/actor/podcaster Kevin Smith and illustrated by his long time friend and Comic Book Men costar Walt Flanagan. Silver returns yet again to Bruce after the death of her senator fiancé. They rekindle their love affair, spending their days on a private island owned by Silver and flying back to Gotham at night so Bruce can continue his crusade as Batman. At the same time Batman meets a new hero Bapomet. Batman sees an ally and a possible successor in Bapomet ashe decides to share all his secrets with the new hero. This decision is probably made mostly due to the fact that Bruce decides to propose marriage to Silver, who accepts. Bruce then brings Bapomet back to the Batcave and show the new hero all his secrets, including his secret identity and to introduce Silver. But in the final pages of the last issue we see Batman turn his back and take off his utility belt as Baphomet, who is revealed to be theKevin Smith created villain Onomatopoeia, slits Silver’s throat. Smith was supposed to write a follow up miniseries, but 5 years later there is no sign of one.In happier news, as I stated in the beginning, Silver Saint Cloud is set to appear on Gotham, portrayed by Natalie Alyn Lind. What kind of relationship will Silver and Bruce have this time, now that they will meet at such a younger age? Only time (and Gotham season 2) will tell. Let me know your thoughts through the following or or @Beforethebatpod on TwitterYou can hear me and my friends discuss this and everything else to do with Gotham (and all things Batman) on my podcast Before the Bat: the Gotham podcast.I also write for 2 other blogs, The Flash/Arrow blog and the True Believers blog, both of which can also be found at it for this week. Come back next week and be good. Remember, Love cures all (except psychotic villains with vendettas)!

Almost a full year ago, Hamilton, Ala. quarterback Josh Hollingsworth thought his recruitment was over with a commitment to Mississippi State in March of 2008. However, nine months later he had to start from scratch with the departure of Mississippi State head Coach Sylvester Croom and the arrival of new head coach Dan Mullen. Just a week before National Signing Day, Hollingsworth's commitment has ended again. Two weeks ago, Hollingsworth took an official visit to Furman University and left as a commitment. "I had never been there and didn't know anything about them," Hollingsworth said of the Furman trip. "When I got there we watched some film and it was the first time I'd ever seen them play. The city is amazing, it's right outside Greenville." There were several reasons that Hollingsworth felt at home on the Furman campus and one of those was his relationship with the coaching staff. "I had gotten to know the coaches really well and I liked the head coach who was also the quarterback's coach so that's rare," he said. "The players are real tight-knit. It's a unique group and there's only 2600 students there so everyone is real close." Now that his recruitment is over for good, Hollingsworth is excited to get on campus. "I'm real excited now. I just kind of wish school would get done faster so that I can get down there."

South Korea's communications commission also said on Monday that it would require mobile phone vendors to equip all smartphones with near field communication (NFC) technology, which allows wireless data exchanges at short range, letting people pay for goods, store electronic tickets, collect coupons by swiping a cell phone at a checkout or scanning tags on movie posters. So far, only two NFC-enabled handsets have been offered in South Korea -- Samsung's Galaxy S II and Pantech's Vega Racer -- and a lack of standardised settlement checkouts at retailers, and disagreements over fee-sharing structure and controlling customer information have prevented the industry from taking off. The domestic smartphone market has exploding more than ten-fold to top 10 million handsets in just 18 months, or about a fifth of the population, but the mobile payment market, which some say could eventually replace credit and debit cards as the primary means of payment, has been slower to take off.

We bloggers always seem to be in a hurry. I always try to include a photo in all of my posts and when I am in a rush, waiting for the slow and bloated Photoshop to open is a real drag. That is why I rely on ImageWell whenever I am posting from my PowerBook. ImageWell features… Resize, Rotate, Crop and Flip Layering and Transparency controls for images and draw objects Web Preview and Quality/Size adjustment tool before uploading to the web Screen Grab feature grabs full screen, a selection on your screen, or window grab and automatically imports it into the well for instant editing and sending I mostly use it to resize and compress larger image to fit on my blog but it provides other features that I may use in the future. The best thing of all is ImageWell is completely free! So if you constantly find yourself waiting for Photoshop to boot up just to make a minor change, consider using ImageWell and get back to your web work.

One gets the feeling reading this USA Today article that these people need to read Ed Cline’s RoR posts. It was an image of Islam that might have startled many Americans: a young Muslim woman wearing a traditional head scarf standing in the center of a chandeliered banquet hall singing the U.S. national anthem. "It saddens me," Denise Hazime, a 25-year-old, Muslim American law student remarked after watching the woman sing to kick off an Arab student fundraiser. "The way things are now, I bet the average American would never think of the image of a covered girl singing our national anthem."The way things are now is this: American Muslim leaders say they are facing an increasingly tough public relations battle as they fight to portray their faith as non-violent.Some Muslims say conveying a peaceful image of Islam is tougher now than it was after the Sept. 11 attacks, and they blame a daily barrage of negative media images.They are referring to stories such as a Christian convert being threatened with execution in Afghanistan, coverage of thousands of Muslims expressing outrage at Danish cartoons and shouting anti-Western threats, and daily bloody images from Iraq. "We say we're peaceful people, but it doesn't matter what we say," said Irfan Rydhan, 31, a spokesperson and organizer for the South Bay Islamic Association in San Jose, Calif. "They see these violent images on TV, and those people look like us."American views of their Muslim neighbors had been improving. A Pew Research Center poll released in July 2005, after the London terrorist bombings, showed that 55% of Americans had a favorable opinion of Muslim Americans. But a Washington Post/ABC News poll released in March showed that a majority of Americans have a negative view of Islam.'It's really hard right now' It seems as if extremist voices "have taken over," said Rana Abbas, a 26-year-old Muslim American who is deputy director of Michigan's American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a nationwide civil rights group based in Washington, D.C. "It makes your struggle so much harder. It makes it seem as if all your efforts are in vain. It's really hard right now for moderate Muslims to get their message out."A large part of the public relations problem is that most Americans do not have a basic understanding of the turmoil that exists in parts of the Muslim world, said James Zogby, the president of the Arab American Institute, a political advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.Zogby said that many heavily Islamic regions have been destabilized by war."The problem is not the nature of the religion; it is the dislocation and disruption of normal society brought on by the trauma of war," he said. "It's similar to what happened in our own country during the post-Civil War period where you had lynchings and the emergence of extremist currents that lasted for decades."Except there haven’t been any lynchings.I wish the reporter would have asked Zogby about Wafa Sultan. In my mind, the acid test of “moderate Islam” is the deference a Muslim is willing to giver her. If a Muslim recognizes the right of an Islamic apostate to their beliefs, whatever contradictions they may hold are no longer my concern, for that Muslim will have finally entered civilization. Until them, Muslims must take ownership of the negative perceptions they face.

Grandmother’s Tea Leaves is Emily Bezar’s debut solo album which contains some of her most artistic music to date. It’s more geared to the progressive side of music so it may not be an easy listen for most audiences. This album is to me, what Tori Amos, could have recorded if she wasn’t under the watchful eye of a major label pushing for hits. After several listens, I come to believe this is Emily’s most personal album with a beauty to it that set the standards for her next three releases. In many ways this album could be considered a early companion to her latest cd Angels’ Abacus based solely on the similarity in the approach. While Angels’ Abacus has a more jazz leaning, Grandmother’s Tea Leaves has a more orchestral vibe to it especially in the vocals. I really have enjoyed Grandmother’s Tea Leaves, even though it’s the least accessible record of her career. I do believe it’s an important album, not only being her first but that it shows that even females can be a creative force in music not just ear candy or a novelty act. If this perks your interest, but need to hear Emily’s music. You’re in luck! On her site she has samples as well as full downloadable tracks but I recommend you purchase the albums out right. It’ll help support one of music’s most underrated artists plus you get to read the booklets, that’s something you can’t do with downloads.Reviewed by Ron Fuchs on December 6th, 2005 Tracks: 1.

Finding a chiropractor is something that nearly everyone will have to do at some point in their lives, whether it is due to a sports-related injury, an accident at home, or just back pain that seemingly came out of nowhere! Many times it will be difficult to know where to look for a chiropractic practitioner, especially when you or your family and friends have not used a chiropractor in the past and are having a difficult time figuring out precisely which qualities to look for. At times, chiropractic care will be needed during pregnancy. This is due to the fact that women's bodies go through many changes during pregnancy, and as a result bones and muscles will attempt to adjust to compensate for the awkward body changes which can result in temporary pain - normally near the lower back. An educated chiropractor will know that this pain is most likely a temporary issue, and will normally offer a free no-obligation consultation in order to dive down and get at the core of the issue to figure out what exactly is causing the problem. You may be surprised to know that things as simple as an ear infection can cause pain that can be solved with high quality chiropractic work. As one grows older, the need for care may arise due to aging bones and the development of what many refer to as "senior citizen syndrome". Characterized by weakening bones and fragility, increasing in age does not mean that you need to increase your tolerance for pain! Similar to a physical therapist, a chiropractor in Grand Rapids, MI will normally check many of your vital signs to make sure you are completely healthy prior to performing the adjustment to ensure that all of the major parts of your body are functioning as they should. Another field of chiropractic care is known as functional neurology, which amazingly can help autistic children improve by leaps and bounds due to continuing scientific research in the field. Chiropractors that maintain and improve their education on a regular basis should be up to speed with the most recent techniques in functional neurology, which can greatly improve the fine motor skills as well as cognitive abilities of those afflicted. Many times, people will also rely on the recommendations of friends, family or colleagues when seeking a chiropractor. As many business know, a referral is one of the best testimonials you can give to a business. It shows that the business performed stellar work, so much so that you wanted to share that information with a trusted friend and refer them to use the business for their needs as well. There are also many questions one should ask when seeking a chiropractic consultation, which will be detailed in the following paragraph.Primarily, one of the top questions consistently asked of chiropractors is what type of techniques they use and why they choose to use them. This is important because one can really get a sense of what type of care to expect when they learn how they will be treated. Another top questions is whether or not the chiropractor uses his or her hands during the adjustment, or if specialized tools are used in lieu of hands. Additionally, asking your potential chiropractor if they have experience treating someone with the types of symptoms you have can be a great way to learn if they are experienced and know how to treat you, or if you will be one of their first cases. It is not necessarily a bad thing to be one of the first patients for a particular case, although it is normally more beneficial to seek care from an experienced provider to ensure the best possible care.Conclusively, finding a chiropractor in Grand Rapids can seem to be a daunting task at first. However, with the proper questions in hand you should have no problem locating exactly the type of care you need and getting well on your way to a higher quality of living.

Here's why. WORK: We have a MAJOR AUDIT this week. I am Captain Paper Shover, in that, I am shoving all the papers from all our files into the auditors faces and then explain everything and then run a million reports. This should last 12 hours a day for all the days this week. Awesome. WORK OUT: Since I bought a new bikini last week and realized over the winter my ass managed to flatten out and my love hands have more love, I have been hitting it hard core most days of the week. This week is no exception. Monday and Wednesday: Up at 4:50am. 30 minutes doing interval power walking with weights Tuesday and Thursday: Up at 4:50am. 30 minutes weight lifting/pilates/abs Friday: Off Saturday: Hot Yoga Sunday: Boxing/Weights EATING: We made a lasagna weeks ago, and froze it for a rainy day. Well the rainy day is this week since I will be getting home at roughly 7:30 each night, and after being up for 15 hours already, I doubt I will want to make anything other than a cocktail. Enter pre-made lasagna Monday and Wednesday. I'm prepping a crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup tonight for Tuesday and leftovers Friday. Thursday night is an even longer night downtown while we welcome the new hires at work and dine at one of my favorite spots in the city, Quartino's. AND NOW FOR SOME BIG NEWS: This blog is getting a major update. What's changing? Everything. The name, the design, the layout, the buttons, the gadgets, the whole shebang. This is my latest DIY project. I love graphic design and am having a blast learning how to actually update the blog all by my lonesome. Also? This lil' blog will have a REAL website address (minus the horseshit, I mean What will be new? A new focus on our homefront. A blog that is more organized. A blog that is more ME. I want to make this blog a platform to not only vent and revel in our day to day accomplishments and set-backs, but to highlight what I do and what you can do to make a change for the better. Whether it be a little DIY project, a fitness goal, a major life change, or a volunteer opportunity. I have had a major "come to Jesus" eye opening experience recently (ha..don't worry, it's not actually religious) and it made me realize that there is so much more to life than getting stuck with the standard rut. It made me realize that it is so very easy to forget that others are struggling to stay afloat, just like you.

Well I bought my second hammock, a Speer IIIA. Everything comes in one nice silnylon bag. At first it was a challenge to get everything back in the one bag but in the end I more or less stuffed everything back in. Eventually I will make a BB bag but in the mean time, are there any suggestions for folding the tarp? It is silnylon and one slippery rascal. I haven't completely unfolded it yet because the weather is not nice today. I can see that it could be a challenge to fold in the field. If by yourself do you just wad it up and stuff it in a bag or try to be more organized than that? Noobie trying to learn from the experienced.

My friend Jack had a bicycle mishap and fractured his pelvis. I hope when I’m in my 80’s I’m still riding a bicycle every week like him. He does a lot of the cooking at their house, so I thought I’d help out and make a dinner while he’s at less than full capacity for a couple of weeks. A chicken casserole is comforting food when you’re stuck at home and not able to get around so easily. Interestingly, the night before his mishap, they took dinner to another of our friends who had broken his hip. Jack’s wife, Elsie, insists that this bone breakage trend is not catching and I won’t break anything after preparing them dinner. I hope she’s right. This recipe came from my former mother-in-law. She was a good Southern cook and I’m sorry I don’t have more of her recipes. She died before I was divorced from my ex, but I think I took her cooking for granted back then. I certainly remember it fondly now. Chicken Casserole1 can cream of chicken soup1 can cream of mushroom soup4 or 5 bone-in chicken breasts, boiled and reserve broth1 stick butter½ package Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing½ package Pepperidge Farm herb stuffingSalt and pepper Melt butter and pour over the dressings in a large bowl. Mix to combine. Put half of the stuffing mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Remove chicken meat from the bones, shredding into bite sized pieces; put into large bowl. Add both cans of soup to chicken. Measure two cans of reserved broth and also add to chicken mixture. Stir to combine well. Pour chicken mixture onto stuffing in casserole dish. Salt and pepper lightly. Top with remaining stuffing mix. Bake at 325 degrees about 45 minutes or until broth is absorbed and stuffing is browned.

After Saturdays productive foraging through the rails of Beyond Retro, I returned back east armed with a fringed cutesy tee, two pairs of denim shorts, a pair of individual jeans and a pair of new line stripy leggings, not bad I thought. Beneficial later when I came off my bike, if it wasn't for those super strong jeans - I would have probably sustained more damage to my knees - fortunately the jeans have come out almost unscathed too. With that in mind I plan to attempt a return visit tomorrow, the lure of tea and cake is too much to pass by. That and the constant desire to increase ones accoutrements.

Educator. Clinician. Researcher. Department Chair. Dr. Nicholas Frank has worn many hats during his six years at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. In June, 2017, he will step into a new role as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Recently, he sat with us, to discuss everything from his childhood in England, to his vision for Cummings School in the future. The article below is an abbreviated version of the original interview. Before you got to where you are today, you were a vet student, can you reflect on your life then and compare it to your life now? As a vet student, I was one of those students who was interested in knowing what I needed to know in order to become a practitioner. When I reflect on my career, I think about how I’ve gone along a path of advanced training in medicine, a PhD, and building a research program, and all the many academic pursuits that I’ve engaged in. It is a true illustration of how a veterinary career can unfold over time. You don’t know at each step which way it’s going to go, and that’s the truly wonderful thing about our profession, that there is this opportunity to take your career in multiple different directions. After completing your veterinary education and establishing your career at the University of Tennessee, you had the opportunity to go back to the UK and help develop a new veterinary school. Please share that experience. For me, it was an extraordinarily stimulating time of my career. I always advise people to avoid becoming complacent in what they’re doing and try to challenge themselves. That [experience] was certainly a big challenge for me, because, I was put in a different teaching environment in a different curriculum and was asked to teach in a way that was different from the way I was teaching before… I think it also put me in a group of people who were very forward thinking as far as their teaching. That’s what Nottingham was able to do, they attracted people who were ready for a challenge. They attracted people who were not comfortable, not satisfied with the traditional ways of teaching and so it was, and is, an environment where people can experiment and try new approaches to teaching…it’s a progressive teaching environment and that’s what I’m hoping encourage here at Cummings School. Progressive as far as it encouraged people to think outside the box and challenge the status quo? Is there a more defined way of thinking about ‘progressive learning’? A lot of the emphasis for veterinary medical education is on experiential learning. The more that we can encourage students to take that knowledge, manipulate it, and reflect on the use of it, the better prepared they will be for the challenges of the veterinary profession… A progressive curriculum is one that is willing to change, and we must be willing to find ways that we can further improve on what we’re doing. We must recognize that our discipline is changing and there’s progression over time. What do you think are the biggest challenges that students currently face? I think for all students, the challenge is really to be able to go through the curriculum, get the information that they need, acquire the skills that they need, and to do it in a way that’s balanced and enjoyable for them so that they really get the rich experience of being in vet school… How do you think we can continue to support mental health and wellbeing? It must be a multi-pronged approach. I think we’ve made some really good improvements over the past few years that Dr. Angie Warner has spearheaded along with Dean Kochevar. [These include] Cummings Support Center, mental health counselors, discussions, and encouraging openness to mental health. One area that perhaps overlaps with my interests in teaching and curriculum development is the impact of our teaching on mental health… An area that I have begun work on and hope to continue is this concept of what we consider to be foundational knowledge and what we consider to be specialty knowledge. All students need to acquire foundational knowledge because we consider this essential for them to enter the profession. How much specialty knowledge perhaps depends on the student’s own interests and abilities. If a student is already exerting maximum effort to acquire foundational knowledge, then there isn’t a need to try to push that student through the specialty knowledge when the foundational knowledge by definition is what they need to enter the profession. By the same token, we should leave the specialty knowledge there as an opportunity for any student to take advantage of… Perhaps that will help with wellbeing, as part of the multi-pronged approach. I wouldn’t do that in isolation without doing the other parts. But, I do think that’s a part that we could work on to help our students on the mental health side. In your opinion, what are the biggest challenges for faculty? The biggest challenges for faculty, I think, are to have enough time to explore and expand what they want to do in their teaching and their scholarly work, when the demands on their time seem to increase every year… In each area I could identify pressures on faculty. If we look at research, research funding is increasingly hard to find…If you look at the pressures with respect to teaching, as we increase class size it becomes harder to give that individual student the time that he or she needs. So, at a time when our students might need us more, we have more pressures to be able to devote that time. I think that’s something that we need to be aware of. Have you identified ways to promote scholarship in teaching and education that aren’t as time demanding? I think that we need to make teaching more of our conversation, it needs to be more prominent in our discussions. I hope that as a department chair I’ve tried to encourage individuals to explore new teaching methods and conduct studies that will give us evidence-based approaches to making decisions about teaching that I think we badly need. I feel that we as clinicians absolutely practice evidence-based medicine. As educators, I’m not sure if we practice evidence-based pedagogy. I’m not sure if that’s as prominent in our school culture as I would hope it would be in the future. During your recent campus talk, you spoke about helping students to develop ‘illness scripts’ and that comes through experience, time, and knowledge. Is that the same for the faculty developing ‘education scripts’. How do you go from being a scientist to forming those education scripts? Absolutely. One of the initiatives that I would like to launch is a two-year teacher training program for all new faculty, and any faculty member who wants to do this… We can do more to try to help those individuals to improve their teaching and to do it in a more deliberate and organized fashion by having a teaching program, perhaps a teaching certificate that then also can be put into promotion documents. It can be said that this person committed effort for two years to improve as an educator, and that’s rewarded in the promotions process. Also, I hope it will be inherently rewarding for that individual because they will feel that they are well trained to be an educator as well as to be a clinician or a scientist in the lab, or whatever part of the vet school that they work in. As newly appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, where would you like to see the school in ten years? I would love the school to be talked about at a national, and international level for the progressive teaching that we do and for the environment that we create for our students. And, to have our graduates look back on their vet school days and think positively about the investment that we made in them and who they became as they went through their four years of vet school. I think we do a tremendous job as it is, we are such a strong veterinary school, but I think that we need to keep moving forward. Education doesn’t stand still, just as it doesn’t stand still in clinical medicine. We want to be up in the forefront just as we are in our medicine and our research, I would like us to be that way in our teaching. I think we have everything we need here: we have the excellent students and dedicated educators that we need, I would just like to have more dialogue at a school level with the faculty about what we want to be, and how we’re going to get there on the teaching side.

Featured on the Director of Public Prosecution's original 39-title 'video nasties' list, at last you can see what all the fuss is about in this gore-geous new 16:9 transfer. René Cardona Sr - patriarch of Mexico’s number one genre film-making dynasty - delivers this wonderfully silly tale of a dying young man given the heart of a gorilla to keep him alive. Unfortunately the man transforms into a murderous ape-like monster and goes on a girly hunt. Not one to be put-off, the surgeon (his father) tries again - this time with the heart of a female wrestler. This medical-horror-sci-fi masterpiece was written by René and his son René (who, incidentally, had a son called René), neither of whom had even a cursory knowledge of either medicine or science. This makes it w-a-a-y-yy more enjoyable…. No surprise then that this was filmed in just three weeks (in May 1968), largely in Mexico City’s Chapultepec Park. While already chock full of gratuitous nudity and femmes-in-peril, US film-maker Jerald Intrator ("Orgy at Lil’s Place", "Satan in High Heels") decided to improve on things by adding close-up, super-gory footage of open-heart surgery. He even filmed some new material to spice up the monster’s attacks with sanguinary make-up effects and even more nudity. See! - a nice young man “transmutated” into an ugly beast - an eye popped out of a head in stomach-churning detail - open-heart surgery performed with no life-support equipment Special Features: 1.66:1 Widescreen transfer enhanced for 16x9 TVs English Mono 2.0 Spanish Mono 2.0 Optional English/Spanish Audio Subtitles for Both Audio Tracks Two TV Spots Video Nasties Introduction Theatrical Trailer Image Gallery Hidden Easter Egg Cast: Jose Elias Moreno, Carlos Lopez Moctezuma, Norma Lazareno, Agustin Mtz.

We wanted to build a durable set of porch stairs with a handrail. Many exterior stair stringers simply rest on concrete pads set on the ground, as in this example. My experience is that such stairs tend to shift up and down over time, which may not be a problem for a short flight of steps with no handrail. But we wanted to make sure that our handrail never worked loose, so we decided to graft the newel posts to pressure treated 4x4 posts set deep in the ground, below the frost line. Serious Graft: I laid the cedar newel post against the pressure treated 4x4 post to mark the location of the notch. When two notched posts are properly connected together they can be as strong as a solid, one-piece post. These cedar newel posts were too long to match the original handrail height, so I cut them shorter by 6 inches and re-cut the notches, as seen in this article. To keep the two lower newel posts aligned, I made a cross-piece from a pressure-treated 2x6. I drilled counterbored holes to allow me to bolt the cross-piece to each post. The counterbore has to be big enough in diameter to allow a washer to fit in the recess. This counterbore needs to be drilled deeper. A socket wrench should also fit, and this is commonly the factor that decides the size of spade bit to use. After the counterbore, I drilled a clearance hole, slightly larger than the bolt shank diameter. The counterbore must be drilled first or else the spade bit will not have any wood to guide its point. The cedar newel post (on the right) overlapped the treated 4x4 post quite well. These cuts were made with only a circular saw and hand saw. I painted the inside of the notches with oil-based primer to discourage water from getting into the wood. I carefully aligned the sections of post and attached them with 3-inch deck screws. But this is not the primary means of connecting the two sections. Making The Big "H" Frame: Using a long drill bit (the diameter was smaller than the desired hole, but that's okay) I drilled through the cross-piece and the notch-joint of the posts. Using the exit hole as a guide, I drilled counterbores on the back of the two-part post. Then I drilled 5/16" clearance holes to fit the bolts. With the cross-piece carefully positioned, I installed a pair of 5/16" diameter bolts, 6" long, to attach the cross-piece to the newel posts. Using a socket and a box-end wrench I tightened the bolts and nuts. Each nut had a lock-washer and a flat washer beneath it. Washers are necessary to spread out the clamping forces. Otherwise the wood fibers will get crushed and the bolts will lose their holding ability in a few months. While the assembly was laying on saw horses, I gave the cedar newels a coating of oil-based primer. This is an inexpensive anchor used for holding deck posts and fence posts into concrete footings. I clamped the anchor to the post and secured it with Simpson Strong-Drive screws. Installing The Lower Newel Posts: The site just before installation of the lower newel posts. I dug a pair of holes with post-hole diggers, to a depth of about 4 feet. I attached a treated 2x6 to the deck posts, so the stair stringers would have a sturdy vertical surface to lean against To help hold the stair stringers, I screwed a pair of 2x4 cleats to the above-mentioned 2x6. The red arrows show the cleats. I installed the outer stringers (I used 4 stringers total), attaching them with 3" deck screws. I placed concrete blocks under the stringers to make them level. Here the newel post assembly lies on the driveway, just before installation. The holes had to be dug carefully to ensure that the large "H"-shaped assembly would fit without interference from the dirt. I set the "H"-section in place. The cross-piece rested on a pair of thin concrete patio stones. I checked the cross-piece for level. I placed a block of wood (arrow) under the cross-piece to raise up one side. Then I clamped the post to the stringer. I used some shims (arrow) to precisely plumb the posts, then I fastened the stringers to the newel posts with 3" deck screws. At this point the newel posts are positioned perfectly and secured to the stringers I prepared a bag of concrete mix and dumped about half of it into each post hole, enough to engulf the post anchor. When this concrete had begun to harden, I filled in the holes with gravel. I used gravel instead of dirt because it will help water to drain away from the wood, thus prolonging its life. The Last Few Stringers: After the post holes were filled in I installed the other two stringers. This set of stairs is four feet wide, and the stringers are 16" on center. We wanted wide stairs so people could sit on them and others could still get past easily. What appears to be cement around the base of the post is actually just mortar, left over from another project. I wanted to direct water away from the post. It wouldn't hurt to make a 2" thick cap of concrete here, sloped to shed water.
