The Minnesota Twins dropped their fourth straight game Wednesday night, falling to the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 in Anaheim.
While the Twins losing streak continued, it was the seventh straight victory for the red-hot Angels. It is also the ninth straight time the Angels have beaten the Twins.
Chris Iannetta had another big night to lead the Angels. He homered in the second inning, his second home run in as many nights and finished 2-for-4 at the plate.
Kole Calhoun drove in a pair of runs, he was 3-for-4 on the night. Johnny Giavotella was on base every time he was at the plate as he 3-for-4 and scored three runs.
The Twins got young slugger Miguel Sano back from his ankle injury tonight, but not even his young, powerful bat was enough to wake up the Twins offense. Sano was 0-for-3 with a couple of walks.
It wasn't a thing of beauty for Twins starter Mike Pelfrey (5-7). He labored through six innings of work, giving up nine hits, four runs (two earned) while walking and striking out one. He was tagged with the loss.
Santana was 2-for-3 with a run scored, while Hicks also was 2-for-4 with a run scored.
However, the Angels came back with two more of their own in the bottom of the third to reclaim the lead and it stayed that way the rest of the night.
C.J. Wilson (8-7) picked up the win tossing five innings and holding the Twins to two runs. While Houston Street picked up the save, the 300th of his career.
The series wraps up on Thursday afternoon. The Twins will send Ervin Santana (1-0) to the mound against Angels right-hander Garrett Richards (10-6).

IntroductionThe Republic of the Philippines is a country located in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean. An archipelago comprising 7,107 islands, the Philippines is categorized broadly into three main geographical divisions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Its capital city is Manila.
With a population of 88,574,614 people (2007 census), the Philippines is the world's 12th most populous country. Many ethnic groups and cultures are found throughout the islands. In prehistoric times, Negritos were some of the archipelago's earliest inhabitants. They were followed by successive waves of Austronesian peoples who brought with them influences from Malay, Hindu, and Islamic cultures. Trade introduced Chinese cultural influences.
More than 90% of the population are Christians, with 80% of the nation's population belonging to the Roman Catholic Church. Approximately 5-10% of the population is Muslim.
The arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in 1521 marked the beginning of an era of Spanish interest and eventual dominance. Missionary work led to widespread Christianity. As the 19th century gave way to the 20th, there followed in quick succession the short-lived Philippine Revolution, the Spanish-American War, and the Philippine-American War. In the aftermath, the United States replaced Spain as the dominant power. Aside from the period of Japanese occupation, the United States retained sovereignty over the islands until the end of World War II when the Philippines gained independence.
1990 ArticleMennonites first began working officially in the Philippines after the country gained independence. By the end of 1946 the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) had placed 17 workers in relief assistance to war victims. Their program soon focused on the province of Abra in north-central Luzon, whose capital (Bangued) had been destroyed by bombing. When MCC staff left in 1950, they had established a hospital in Bangued and a high school in the isolated mountain village of Lamau. Both have been operated and expanded by local Christians in the years since then.
Twenty years later Eastern Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities [[[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church]]] (EMBMC) responded to an invitation of a small independent group by transferring a family from their Vietnam staff. Mennonite Ministries was based in Quezon City with the objective of working in supportive roles to assist Filipino church groups. By 1972 substantial relationships had been formed with Missions Now, Inc. Through the years 1970-1987 EMBMC maintained a small staff to assist in leadership training through a Bible school opened in Lumban, and in economic development which has included some Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA), MCC, and Ten Thousand Villages projects.
After visits by MCC leaders in 1975-1976, a decision was made to open a new work in the Philippines. This action responded to requests for personnel; it also allowed MCC to build on the leanings from Vietnam with a program shaped around peacemaking and justice concerns. In the years 1977-1987 a select team of experienced workers engaged in community and agricultural development, research, and writing. Their goal was to articulate and live out a theology of the cross in the midst of economic inequities and injustice.
This time the major effort was geared to the conflict with the Muslim populations in the southern island of Mindanao. From their basic stance of a ministry of presence, which emphasized a listening and reconciling role among oppressed peoples, the MCC staff worked with and channeled small amounts of resources through various Filipino groups with similar concerns. Other smaller programs related to political detainees and their families and to the "hospitality women" (prostitutes) who lived near the huge United States military bases.
In 1985 MCC reported having an ideal level of 10 persons for its program in the Philippines. The staff continued to be firmly committed to the way of nonviolent love in the midst of an increasingly polarized and bloody conflict. A significant part of the ministry was seen in the witness MCC workers and their Filipino co-workers were giving across North America through writing, speaking tours, and contacts with political leaders.
The approach taken in their work has had its problems. Not all supporters and church leaders in North America have understood or affirmed the stance of the team. And working with the people rather than for them could be quite frustrating, with results that were more difficult to measure or report. Yet the dramatic rise of "People Power," enabling the nonviolent replacement of the Marcos government with that of Corazon Aquino in 1986, suggested that MCC's objective has been well-tailored for the situation.

Humility, that is, the ability to be rooted in spite of success, is becoming a rarity these days. How often does it happen that you come across someone who has achieved something wonderful but is not boastful about it? I don’t come across many such people, although I would love to.
Let me give you an example here. A is achieving new heights in her career everyday and whenever someone congratulates her, she starts talking about all the other things she is doing and is not getting much recognition for. B on the other hand is experiencing a similar success in her career. She talks about it too but only when prompted and prefers using two magical words when people congratulate her on her success. Now I don’t have to tell you what these two words are!
Who would you like to hang out with more? Probably B I gather. Why is it that a few people are genuinely humble while some others feel life is all about displaying their achievements? There could be many reasons. Social media can be blamed partly – after all life on social media is all about the number of likes, and thus we will boast about any minor achievement in a megalomaniac way, just to get noticed. The kind of company that people keep could be another reason; if all my friends are boasting I will do so as well. For instance, very often we see parents talking about their kids’ achievements as if there was a competition to be won about whose kid is the smart-“est”.
Humility is not a trait that we are born with. It needs to be shaped. Its value needs to be taught, and modelled. How many times have you as parents bragged about their achievements, while they are around? A few times? May be you didn’t realise the repercussions of comparing your child’s achievements with another while your child is present. This extremely common behaviour by parents has a host of negative effects on the child – in this blog, let’s just consider how this behaviour affects your child’s ability to be humble.
Like a lot of other things, children develop humility and understand the importance of the same by learning from observation. So just like we watch our language in front of kids we also need to watch the content of our speech. And most importantly, we need to be humble ourselves. Some simple techniques to develop humility (and you can share these with your kids too) could be:

You can almost feel the planet writhing. This summer brought some of the biggest, most destructive storms in recorded history: Harvey laid waste to huge swathes of Texas; Irma left Barbuda virtually uninhabitable; Maria ravaged Dominica and plunged Puerto Rico into darkness. The images we see in the media are almost too violent to comprehend. And these are the storms that made the news; many others did not. Monsoon flooding in India, Bangladesh and Nepal killed 1,200 people and left millions homeless, but Western media paid little attention: it’s too much suffering to take in at once.
What’s most disturbing about this litany of pain is that it’s only going to get worse. A recent paper in the journal Nature estimates that our chances of keeping global warming below the danger threshold of 2 degrees is now vanishingly small: only about 5 per cent. It’s more likely that we’re headed for around 3.2 degrees of warming, and possibly as much as 4.9 degrees. If scientists are clear about anything, it’s that this level of climate change will be nothing short of catastrophic. Indeed, there’s a good chance that it would render large-scale civilization impossible.
Why are our prospects so bleak? According to the paper’s authors, it’s because the cuts we’re making to greenhouse gas emissions are being more than cancelled out by economic growth. In the coming decades, we’ll be able to reduce the carbon intensity (CO2 per unit of GDP) of the global economy by about 1.9 per cent per year, they say, if we make heavy investments in clean energy and efficient technology. That’s a lot. But as long as the economy keeps growing by more than that, total emissions are still going to rise. Right now we’re ratcheting up global GDP by 3 per cent per year. At that rate, the maths is not in our favour; on the contrary, it’s slapping us in the face.
In fact, according to new models published last year, with a background rate of 3 per cent GDP growth it’s not possible to achieve any level of emissions reductions at all, even under best-case-scenario conditions. Study after study shows the same thing: keeping global warming below 2 degrees is simply not compatible with continued economic growth.
This is a tough pill to swallow. After all, right now GDP growth is the primary policy objective of virtually every government on Earth. Over in Silicon Valley, tech-optimists are hoping that a miracle of artificial intelligence might allow us to decarbonise the economy by 3 per cent or more per year, so we can continue growing the GDP while reducing emissions. It sounds wonderful. But remember, the goal is not just to reduce carbon emissions – the goal is to reduce them dramatically, and fast. How fast, exactly? Climate scientists Kevin Anderson and Alice Bows say that if we want to have even a mere 50 per cent chance of staying under 2 degrees, rich nations are going to have to cut emissions by 8-10 per cent per year, beginning in 2015. Keep in mind we’re already two years in, and so far our emissions reductions have been zero.
Here’s the hard bit. It’s just not possible to achieve emissions reductions of 8-10 per cent per year by decarbonising the economy. In fact, there is a strong scientific consensus that emissions reductions of this rate are only feasible if we stop our mad pursuit of economic growth and do something totally unprecedented: begin to scale down our annual production and consumption. This is what ecologists call ‘planned de-growth’.
It sounds horrible, at first glance. It sounds like austerity, or voluntary poverty. After all, for decades we’ve been told that GDP growth is good, that it’s essential to progress, and that if we want to eradicate poverty around the world, we need more of it. The only reason we’re all chasing GDP growth is because we’ve been made to believe that it’s the only way to improve the incomes and lives of ordinary people. But it’s not.
Politicians and economists rally around GDP growth because they see it as preferable to redistribution. They would rather grow the pie than go about the messy business of sharing what we already have more equally, since the latter tends to upset rich people. Henry Wallich, a former member of the US Federal Reserve Board, made this clear when he pointed out that ‘Growth is a substitute for equality’. But we can flip Wallich’s greedy little quip on its head: if growth is a substitute for equality, then equality can be a substitute for growth. By sharing what we already have more fairly, we can render additional economic growth unnecessary.
In this sense, de-growth is nothing at all like austerity. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. Austerity means cutting social spending and slashing taxes on the rich in order to – supposedly – keep the economy growing. This has crushing consequences for ordinary people’s lives. De-growth, by contrast, calls for cutting the excesses of the richest while redistributing existing resources and investing in social goods – universal healthcare, education, affordable housing etc. The whole point is to sustain and even improve human wellbeing without the need for endless economic expansion. De-growth is a philosophy that insists that our economy is already more than abundant enough for all of us – if only we learn how to share it.
One easy way to do this would be to roll out a universal basic income and fund it through new progressive taxes – taxes on carbon, on land, on resource use, on financial transactions, and so on. This is the most sensible and elegant way to share our abundance, and it comes with an added benefit: if the basic income is high enough, it will free people to walk away from unnecessary jobs that produce unnecessary stuff, releasing some of the pressure on our planet.
Crucially, de-growth does not mean we have to get rid of the stock of stuff that we already have, as a nation: houses, furniture, shoes, museums, railways, whatever. In fact, it doesn’t even mean that we have to stop producing and consuming new stuff. It just means we have to reduce the amount of new stuff that we produce and consume each year. When you see it this way, it’s really not so threatening. If we degrow by 5 per cent per year (which is what scientists say is necessary), that means we have to cut our consumption of new stuff by 5 per cent. It’s easy to make up for that by just repairing and reusing stuff we already have. And we can encourage this more creative approach to stuff by curbing advertising, like Sao Paulo, Chennai and other cities have done.
Of course, there are deeper, more structural dimensions of our economy that we will have to change. One of the reasons we need growth is to pay off all the debt that’s sloshing around in our economy. In fact, our entire money system is based on debt: more than 90 per cent of the currency circulating in our economy is loans created out of thin air by commercial banks. The problem with debt is that it comes with interest, and to pay off interest at a compound rate we have to work, earn, and sell more and more each year. In this sense, every dollar of new money we create heats up the planet. But cancel the debt and shift to a debt-free currency, and suddenly we don’t have to labour under this relentless pressure. There are already plenty of ideas out there for how to do this.
Still, we have to be honest with ourselves: : the Stern Review projects that climate change is set to cost us 5-20 per cent of global GDP per year, which is going to violently change our economy beyond all recognition, and cause enormous human suffering in the process. The storms that churned across the Atlantic this summer are only a small taste of what is to come. The choice is clear: either we evolve into a future beyond capitalism, or we won’t have a future at all.

Bunbury is a welcoming and encouraging home for the artists that abound in our region, and the inclusion of a cappella group The Idea of North at the Bunbury museum is only reinforcing that.
The Idea of North is a band with 11 albums, some of them having won awards, and will be performing at the rejuvenated museum early in June.
"The acoustics inside the restored museum building will make this a spine-tingling event not to be missed and we're really delighted to have been chosen for this rare opportunity to host The Idea of North," said museum curator Lauretta Davies in a 13 May media release.
The Idea of North is currently touring to promote their new album, entitled Ballads, and will be making the most of this stopover in Bunbury. They're the second musical act to perform at the museum this year, with Riley Pearce and Third Time Round playing in January.
This could represent a new focus for the city council, and people on the fence about moving to the city may well be convinced of buying real estate in Bunbury now.
For anyone who has experienced live music in the past, they will understand the importance of getting out and listening to the real thing live on stage. Especially in an acoustic-filled room such as the museum.
"[The Idea of North's] latest album features cool jazz and ballads which make for a memorable concert in the intimate spaces of the museum's former classrooms," noted Ms Davies.
"Only a limited number of seats are being made available to ensure that everyone has a good view and can thoroughly enjoy this one-off concert."
Act quickly to not only ensure your seats at what's sure to be a brilliant concert, but also for that new real estate in Australind you've had your eye on for the last few months! Get in touch with Ray White Bunbury today to see what's available for you.

Otium cum dignitate.
I love little dog! He is soooo cute!!! Maybe Mutley was like that once - see what they grow into!
Fantastic Lilith!The knotted rope toys from Sainsbury's are great - and cheap! We have three of these 'Rattys' around the place, and they invariably end up on the stairs so we can fall arse over head...!BBC news today also included a bit about walking for half an hour three days a week, or half a week three days an hour or something statistically unproveable, but it did mean that your blood pressure will go down with walking Little Dog!Not that it needs to of course, as it seems now that The Hitch has switched off again!
Isn't he a poppet? He started chewing Boyfriends sandals within moments of our arrival. Arrr.Perhaps Hitch has got lucky and has no time to blog. I do hope so.
Thanks for the toy hint, Scrobs x
His name is "Pig". It has kinda stuck. We are still thinking about it. If you look at the second pic don't you think it's appropriate?
Hi Lilith, has hitch been thrown off again??
Don't know Bill :-( I hope he will return
Now, Lilith, deep breaths, only 3 weeks to go, which must seem like a lifetime right now!
Lilith. I'm a regular reader here but this is my first "interface".We had a dog just like him when I was a young lad. Unfortunately a door was inadvertently left open and he went exploring - only to be dicovered shortly after very squished by a passing vehicle which didn't stop. Moral: Make sure he can't get out unattended.Looks like Hitch has been exorcised again as I can't raise him here either.
Thats a good name Lilith, you could call him Piglet until he grows up, ahh he`soooh gorgeous. With regard to Hitch : twas only a couple of days ago, he offered to assist in setting up my blog site, as I can`t get down to Surrey now, (re "back thingy") for my IT consultant son in law to help get me started. Bugga !
Sweet little dog Lillith . God wherever I go its Hitch Hitch HitchIts like I don`t existBoo Hoo
Hurrah Lilith Hitch is back ! Maybe baby Pig Doggy should have Hitch as his second, or honourary name ?
Welcome Nomad! A cautionary tale indeed. I have taken note. I was thinking of sending little dog and boyfriend to training classes togetherNewmania, I love you, but can you chunk down for people with ADHD? Sometimes there are a LOT of words on your blog and I can't always manage them... I like it Trubes, "Hitch" the English Pig Dog...I really need a mastiff for that though. TT, I cant wait!
Newmania, I started to like you this morning, when you had that huge amount of wordage from Auntie Flo, then when I posted a one word note 'Ouch', to register my interest - it was a damn good argument, and got me thinking - but you didn't allow it on!So there!
Our youngest daughter had a friend called "Dirty Dave,( owing to the fact that he never washed), who had a pink and white Pig Dog, called Badger, I think it was a Bull Terrier. This dog suffered from dreadful flatulence, when I say the dog suffered, it was more likely those around him that suffered.During the school hols whilst Mr Trubes and I were out in the City earning a "Crust" our house would be invaded by bored teenagers, we could always tell when Dave and Badger had been round by the pong of hormonal teeagers and stinky dog!Despite his smell old Badger was a lovely Dog and was affectionately known as Badger the Boffer. His young master grew into a fine young man and learned the gentle art of "Washing". He is now a successful buisinessman with his own company, and sells Male Cosmetics !(Not called Badger BTW)
I love him! I want him! he is so floppy and cuddly and cute! Little Dog, that is, not Hitch. Although he may be one of those three above things, I dunno....
Truby-Doo!Lovely tail! (Ha Ha)Bill Hooper, who invented characters 'Jewring tha Woor', told me once that he had a dog called 'Roger', who made his 'mark' very early on in his career!Wonder why;0)
A good reason for the naming him Pig is that we can go to Germany with him, and when people ask us what type of dog he is, we can say to them "Er ist ein Englische Schweinhund".Jah?
He's JUST ADORABLE!SO CUTE! ! :)I have a bit of reading to catch up on here.... :)
You are all sooooooooo soft!!! I can not believe it.One photograph of a puppy and listen to you all!Please don't call him pig.
"My sister tried to bleach her eyebrows with Toilet Duck."Fantastic
when is he due for his first fight?
Scrob...I never stop anything going on it must have been a glitch.I `ve had pages of pesonal abuse before .(Flo is absolutely lovely and an old friend in a funny way)
Sometimes there are a LOT of words on your blog and I can't always manage them... Ha they said Mozart had two many notes !! Ha!!! (boo hoo)
Morning Newmania!No probs, almost certainly a bad keypress my end!Auntie Flo did get going though didn't she! Really great facts coming out like a machine gun...I thought you were extremely fair too!

The next two weeks we have a nice theme over at
One that warms my heart.
MY FAVOURITE PET
I like almost all animals except of mosquitoes that bite me, so I may find some other animals to honour during the next two weeks as well, but since I so love my dogs - I will start with a portrait of one of my Rhodesian Ridgebacks, they are with me each day- we have much fun together and we love each other .
It's an Altered Book spread - a quick watercolour sketch.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the effects of attachment and prenatal depression on MFA in pregnant women who received antenatal education. These results are helpful for understanding the influence of attachment and depression on MFA.
In our study, a total of 38.53% of the participants suffered from prenatal depression, which is higher than that reported in the existing literature . A possible explanation is that the pregnant women we included were in their third trimester and, the fear of delivery during this time was accompanied by increased fatigue, physical pain, poor sleep, and frequent urination. Another explanation is that the EPDS diagnostic criteria for depression may be different in foreign studies. Nevertheless, the results showed that prenatal depression was very common in the third trimester of pregnancy and should be given adequate attention.
According to whether the participants received prenatal education in the hospital during their latest pregnancy, our research results showed that the pregnant mothers who had received prenatal education had higher MFA and lower prenatal depression scores than those who had not received prenatal education. Our results were consistent with the results obtained in a previous study . Prenatal education not only increased the rates of prenatal examinations and promoted communication with doctors but also improved women’s attitudes towards delivery . In addition, prenatal education can help pregnant women accept and adapt to the role of mother.
Further analysis revealed that maternal attachment avoidance was negatively related to MFA quality, which is consistent with previous research results . People with secure attachment are more likely to assume the role of a parent . Self-reported romantic attachment predicts high avoidance scores on the parental role scale in pregnant women, and they may face difficulties in developing their maternal identity . Those who attached great importance to attachment avoidance felt uncomfortable with intimacy and invalidated the attachment system . In fact, when perceiving positive emotional information, people with high attachment avoidance are unable to experience positive emotions; to avoid the activation of the attachment system, they tend to deactivate their emotional channels and hide their feelings . Thus, we can infer that in the third trimester, pregnant women with high avoidance may not respond to fetal movement, and as a result, the emotional experience with regard to the fetus may be relatively low.
The exploratory mediation analysis showed that low maternal attachment avoidance directly and indirectly reduced the MFA quality score through the prenatal depression score. The results suggested that an avoidance attitude toward the attachment subjects rendered them susceptible to the interference of depression symptoms, reducing emotional investment in the fetus. The possible mechanism is that the internal working model of attachment has an important impact on an individual's cognition, emotion, and behavior with regard to interpersonal communication, and the avoidance attachment model formed in childhood leads to a sense of mistrust of others in pregnant women. This internal working model is triggered by stressful events such as pregnancy and leads to depression during pregnancy, further reducing the emotional investment and energy devoted to the fetus, that is, poor MFA. Condon indicated that parental psychological variables could affect MFA quality. Moreover, attachment avoidance-related deactivation strategies are associated with depression maintenance . In a recent study by Huang and colleagues, the prenatal maternal depression score affected the MFA score . It seems that attachment avoidance and the prenatal depression score both affect the mother's intimate connection to the unborn fetus. However, no mediating role of the prenatal depression score was observed in attachment anxiety and attachment intensity, and a previous study showed that caregivers with a higher degree of avoidance are less responsive than those with a lower degree of avoidance . Attachment quality is related to the mental health of mothers, while the intensity of attachment has nothing to do with mental health . Our results revealed the relationship between attachment avoidance and the prenatal depression score and their effects on the degree of emotional communication and interaction between the mother and the fetus, further providing a basis for understanding the development of maternal-fetal relationships. In addition, prenatal depression symptoms were found to be negatively correlated with prenatal MFA [31, 32].
In prenatal screening, the timely detection of low-quality MFA and the application of effective interventions on the basis of the prenatal depression score or the type of mother attachment can help pregnant women adapt to their changing role in a timely manner. This can prevent incidents such as domestic child violence and allow women to better care for their newborn to ensure healthy and balanced development .
Our study has two limitations. First, this study was restricted by its cross-sectional design, and we did not track postpartum maternal and infant attachment, which should be evaluated in the next step of our work. In addition, data collection was based on a convenience sampling, so our participants may not represent the general pregnant population. However, despite these limitations of our research, our findings provide new ways insights into antenatal education and interventions.

Purple bed mattress is attempting to change our very perception of exactly what an ideal bed mattress must be. Inning accordance with the sleep expert representing the company, lots of people find a difficult bed mattress more comfy and perhaps an equivalent number of individuals discover a soft mattress more comfortable. The majority of people find a medium quality mattress more comfortable, which is neither too hard nor too soft. Nevertheless, all these bed mattress feature a few inherent issues. On Purple Mattress Complaints
Difficult mattresses are too firm, they do not have bounce and convenience, there is nothing gentle about the surface and there is no convenience. Some individuals like the firmness but wind up with persistent pain. Shoulder discomfort, back pain and various other musculoskeletal pains are typical when you sleep on a difficult mattress. Soft bed mattress is not a better option if it fails to equally disperse the weight and does not provide appropriate back or back support. A lot of soft mattresses tend to lose their firmness, regardless of how firm they were initially. There is no pressure relief at tactical points of the body. In a brief period of time, the soft bed mattress completely gives in. Medium quality mattresses do not offer any break as they integrate the imperfections of difficult and soft mattresses. They are simply as bad for chronic pain like difficult mattresses as they can facilitate arthritis like soft mattresses.
How is Purple Mattress Different?
Purple bed mattress is neither too hard nor too soft, it is neither medium nor a mishmash of all three. Purple mattress is not your typical memory foam bed mattress either. It is actually made from hyper elastic polymer. Active elastic polymer is a trademarked product. It is a pressure releasing product. It is utilized in grid formation creating walls that can fold or support based upon the pressure that is put in on the surface area of the product. The grid development or column style naturally facilitates complimentary air circulation. This avoids any wetness accumulation or trapping. The lack of wetness makes the mattress more secure and enhances the durability. Needless to discuss, it likewise assures better sleep. The complimentary air circulation will cool down the surface area and also allow body heat to escape. The most common grievance about memory foam is the heating issue. Many business claim to have actually overcome the heating issue but they haven’t and people realize faster than later on. The patented polymer products utilized in Purple do not have the fundamental issue of memory foam or latex to name a few mattress innovations. On Purple Mattress Complaints
Purple has as numerous as fifteen patents going into simply one bed mattress. A few of the patents address pressure releasing comfort while some take care of the assistance, some address sturdiness while some address no feel movement transfer. Purple mattress will not collapse, it will not establish any indentation or impression of the body, it will not lose its firmness or softness, the topmost layer or the base layer will not lose their primary qualities, the mattress will be versatile enough to withstand pressure therefore supplying relief at strategic points whenever required. It is much better to be like lawn than a tree. Lawn can hold up against a storm whereas a tree gets uprooted. Buckling of the surface area is not a bad thing when one requires even circulation of weight or pressure. Purple bed mattress is nontoxic and irritant resistant or hypoallergenic. It is made from recyclable materials. The bed mattress is CertiPUR-US ® certified.
Purple Mattress Egg Test
You may or might not have actually viewed the advertisement video called the Purple bed mattress egg test. In the video, a sleep expert uses 4 eggs at 4 various locations, pasted onto a glass frame that she drops from a height on numerous bed mattress. The easy objective is to enjoy if the eggs break or they remain undamaged. The expectation is that if a mattress can uniformly distribute weight and can take in the weight of a person or any load then there will be no particular force put in onto any part of the things or individual sleeping on the mattress. All particular pressure points will have equivalent relief as the weight gets distributed evenly throughout the bed mattress. For this reason, if a bed mattress is perfect then the eggs will not break. As one would anticipate, the eggs do break when they are permitted to fall from a height being pasted to a glass frame onto the majority of mattresses with the exception of Purple bed mattress.
Now, there has actually been criticism of the advertisement since Purple mattress has a grid life development on its topmost layer so the eggs can fit into those grids or box like structures without getting blasted due to the pressure of the glass frame onto the upper surface of the bed mattress. To be reasonable to Purple, it has the right to demonstrate its product’s superiority. It also has videos showing a side sleeper test, back sleeper test and pressure mapping test. You can enjoy them on the main website.
Purple Mattress Vs Nectar Mattress
You can purchase Purple mattress on Amazon or on the official site. You can utilize a Purple bed mattress discount coupon to avail a discount rate. However you would perhaps think about Purple Mattress Vs Casper or Purple Mattress Vs GhostBed before you make a final decision. You should likewise consider Nectar bed mattress, which transcends to Purple, Casper and GhostBed to name a few. Let us rapidly check out why.
Casper has 4 foam layers, GhostBed has three and Purple has 3. Nectar has four. Casper and Purple are thinner than Nectar. Casper, GhostBed and Purple have firmness rating of 6 to seven, 6 and a half to 7 and six to six and a half from 10 respectively. Nectar has a lower firmness rating, thus offering more convenience without compromising on stability and support. Nectar has the least motion transfer amongst the 4. It is also the most inexpensive. Queen Casper costs $950, Queen GhostBed costs $795 and Queen Purple costs $999. Queen Nectar mattress is tagged at $795 however you would get a $125 discount so you pay $670. Nectar has lifetime guarantee. Casper and Purple have ten years. GhostBed has twenty years. Casper and Purple have a hundred nights trial while GhostBed has a hundred and one nights. Nectar has three hundred and sixty five nights of danger complimentary trial.

Dressed fashionably, with their pockets full of money, Alex and his gang—Pete, Georgie, and Dim—sit at the Korova Milkbar, drinking milk laced with stimulants and trying to figure out what to do with the night. During this time, Alex tells us about the nuances of their clothes, as well as those of the girls at the bar, who wear badges that display the names of their sexual partners. In addition to this, Alex voices his recent distaste for the other “milk plus” cocktails served at the Korova. He observes the effects of the hallucinogen-laced drinks on another patron of the bar, who slumps in his seat with eyes glazed, talking nonsense. Alex finds something cowardly and dishonest about this behavior.
As soon as his own drugs kick in, Alex leads his droogs, or friends, into the streets. There they find an old man carrying books home from the library. Sensing his fear, they toy with him for a few moments before assaulting him. Only after ripping apart his books, ripping out his false teeth, and ripping off his clothes do they let him trudge away whimpering.
The droogs then go to a bar called the Duke of New York to spend their money, so as to create an incentive to continue looting. There are four old women there who warm up to the droogs after the boys buy them several drinks and massive amounts of pub snacks. The boys spend all their money this way, and leave the bar on very friendly terms with the women.
Outside, the boys go to a corner store, put on their masks, and proceed to steal the money from the register. During the robbery, they severely beat the shopkeeper and his wife, both of whom, we later learn, require hospitalization. In less than ten minutes the boys are back at the Duke, buying the same ladies another round. This proves useful, because when the police come to the Duke to ask questions, the women provide alibis for the boys, who sneer at and taunt the helpless officers.
A Clockwork Orange is set in the near future, most likely sometime in the early twenty-first century. With this fictional society, Burgess depicts a totalitarian state that incorporates elements of both Soviet-style communism and American consumer capitalism. The possibility of such a world order seemed entirely feasible in the early 1960s, when the United States and the U.S.S.R. were establishing themselves as the world’s dominant superpowers and Burgess was writing A Clockwork Orange. Like most dystopian fiction, Burgess’s novella can be characterized as a logical, if unlikely, extension of contemporary conditions, rather than a purely speculative forecast of future ones. From the names of businesses like the Korova Milkbar, as well as the droogs’ Russian-inflected slang, we witness the strong influence of Russian culture. At the same time, the stultifying media culture and characters’ acquisitive materialism seems a direct condemnation of American capitalist culture. Throughout the novel, the disparate sensibilities of these two twentieth-century superpowers will generate considerable friction.
Nadsat, the teenage slang that Alex and his droogs speak, represents a pastiche of languages: a mixture of Russian, Cockney English, childish slang, and Burgess’s own coinages. The use of nadsat initially makes understanding A Clockwork Orange quite difficult and turns the opening pages of the novella into a highly disorienting experience. The unfamiliar language distracts and distances us from the incredibly harsh and violent events that Alex recounts in his narrative. Alex uses nadsat liberally, and effectively, when he describes things associated with violence. In Alex’s hands—or rookers, as he calls them—blood becomes “krovvy,” to hit becomes “tolchock,” and rape becomes “ultra-violence.” Even the word good becomes sinister in nadsat: drawn from the Russian world for good, kharasho, the nasdat translation of the word is “horrorshow.”

Just wanted to say thank you for the post of the Nasdat dictionary. The language of the story was a bit overwhelming at some points, though this helped me pull through. I'd also like to mention the explanations under the "Important Quotes" were a very interesting read. If anyone reads this comment, I'd recommend them a read for a potential boost in the understanding of the subliminal contexts of Burgess's story.

I don't think I saw anything about the importance of this word anywhere in the guide, but it's a very loaded word. If you think about most of the other slang Alex uses, they tend to be Russian influenced, but this one isn't. Throughout the story, the meaning of this word changes to the reader: in the beginning, the way the teens use "horrorshow" for something positive leads the reader on to how violent they are. As you move into part two of the book however, you realize that "horrorshow" also alludes to the ultra violent films that Alex is f... Read more→

By Vicky Berdina M. de Guzman
TODAY, September 16, is a red-letter day in Davao City for a special reason. The Metro Davao Medical and Research Center opens today its outpatient clinic and services to the public.
These include the Laboratory, Diagnostic Radio Imaging, Cardiovascular and Neurology Unit, and a Pharmacy.
A 50-percent discount on all laboratory tests will be available today and also big discounts on available medicines. The MDMRC also has free screening on Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) / Random Blood Sugar (RBS) for the first 50 patients; and also cholesterol screening for the first 50 patients.
A multidisciplinary hospital like no other, it will offer a myriad of health services to Dabawenyos and health-conscious citizens of neighboring cities and provinces in Mindanao.
The MDMRC is a modern hospital offering a comprehensive range of medical and paramedical services aside from being primed to conduct future researches. The people behind MDMRC may not be obsessed with being a Mayo Clinic in the future, but it is not wrong for any young medical practitioner to make it his/her magnificent obsession of belonging to a world-class facility famous for innovative and effective treatments. Right now, around 140 doctors have committed to establish their clinics in this center covering almost every sub specialty of each department.
The doctors are well-trained and possess excellent credentials. Some had undergone further studies and special training. The center has doctors specializing in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine, hair and scalp diseases–hair transplant and restoration, gynecologic oncology, sleep medicine, hematology, and other specialties of different departments.
There are a total of 109 clinics covering majority of the sub specialties.
Included in their center are a spa, diabetes center, dialysis center, and rehabilitation center.
MDMRC also is referred to as a “Health Service and Wellness Center,” mainly because they want the hospital and medical center to be an advocate of good and healthy living, apart from giving treatment to the sick. What makes the new facility different from others is that it provides proper guidance to people to help them attain a healthy life-style.
Its patients are assured of the following benefits and special services:
Diabetes Ambulatory Care and Wellness Center
The Diabetes Ambulatory Care and Wellness Center does not just give treatment to people with diabetes. They also have counseling to the families and relatives of the patient in order for them to fully understand the situation and bearings of the patient.
According to Dr. Mae R. Gallardo, one of the medical internists, the center aims to provide effective management of diabetes through the full continuum of care committed to ameliorate the disease and seeks to deliver a holistic approach to improve diabetes outcomes and expunge the disease throughout the city. It will be handled by medical internists trained in ambulatory diabetes care.
The services offered are Diabetes Education, Family Counseling, Blood Sugar Screening, Basic Foot Café and Foot Services, Medical Nutrition Therapy, and Consultation.
The hospital also offers rehabilitation services - the All Care Physical and Wellness Rehabilitation Services of Long Island, New York by Fernando Tan, Jr. MD, PT. Dr. Fernando Tan will fly from the United States to Davao City for a week-long consultation starting on September 16.
Near the entrance of the MDMRC building is the hospital’s pharmacy which offers reasonable prices of assured good quality medicines. Prices in the pharmacy are competitive with those offered by commercial drug stores outside.
MDMRC wants to create the notion that their pharmacy is not the usual and ordinary pharmacy found inside the hospitals.
Patients are also assured of the quality and accuracy of results from their laboratory. The MDMRC acquired brand new diagnostic machines that will give precise results for better diagnosis.
From September 17 to 23, a 50-percent discount on all available laboratory tests will be offered.
The laboratory operates from 6:00 in the morning up to 5:00 in the afternoon. All of its sections are well-equipped with high-end facilities. The sections include Clinical d, Serology, Hematology, Clinical Microscopy, Microbiology and Histopathology.
There are different pathways for admitted patients and outside patients towards the x-ray center. This ensures privacy for patients in hospital beds or in wheelchairs who are required to undergo x-ray. Outpatients waiting for their turn will not be traumatized by other patients who are being rushed to the x-ray center.
It will be the first time in Davao wherein a hospital aspires to be a leading research center. According to Dr. Yvette Yenco-Tan, the Medical Director, the MDMRC is interested in research, specifically clinical research.
Health care with a heart
The MDMRC is committed to provide excellent health care services to its patients–the people in Mindanao and Southeast Asia. Dr. Tan said that the medical research for the development of profession will make the MDMRC worthy to be predicated with “Health care with a heart.”
“The target date for the hospital’s fullswing operation will hopefully be before the end of this year after the Department of Health (DOH) and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) shall have done theirr inspections,” Dr. Tan said.
She also said that the idea of putting up a hospital started in 2010 at the time when Davao City was hit by a dengue epidemic.
According to Samuel Uy, hospital administrator, the hospital that took years in the making. It carries the special tagline that he truly believes in and that is, “when you do thing with your heart, you do it sincerely and not on monetary purposes.”
Many local guests are also expected to attend the opening today.

A detailed history and physical examination is very important in the diagnosis of hand infections. Also radiological studies such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound and laboratory studies such as complete blood count, C-reactive protein and sedimentation rate are used in the diagnosis. Gram stain, culture and antibiotic sensitivity determinations are mandatory in the diagnosis and treatment. Generally, the methods used in the treatment include resting the affected extremity, appropriate antibiotic treatment and surgical drainage-debridment. While Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly isolated pathogen, many other bacteria and fungi can be the causative agent in hand infections. In many cases more than one microorganism are isolated. The most common hand infection is paronychia (infection of the soft tissue around the finger nail). Also felon (infection of the pulp), pyogenic tenosynovitis, infections seen in the subfascial and deep fascial spaces of the hand, web space infections, infections of the radial and ulnar bursae, septic arthritis and osteomyelitis are the other commonly seen infections of the hand.

The Agile Estimation Game: Estimating Your Product Backlog in a Finger Snap
Many software developers are familiar with these everlasting estimation sessions where the entire product backlog is discussed and estimated story by story. This way of estimating the size of the product backlog is not only a torture for the people who attend, you should also question how much value this way of estimating delivers compared to the time and budget you spend in a conference room with the entire development team. Inspired by the team estimation game and the magic estimation game we started exploring a better way of estimating our product backlog. The result is what we called The Agile Estimation Game. With this blog post I would like to share how we do it, supported by a short movie that was captured during an agile estimation game session for one of our projects.
What you should know before you start
The goal of the agile estimation game is to balance the time spent on estimating with the value it delivers. It is important to know that it will not result in a better estimate. However, spending substantially more time on estimating the product backlog does not make that much of a difference. It is important to acknowledge that the estimate, which can be in story points, t-shirt sizes or even just the number of stories, is just an indication of the approximate size of the product backlog. This indication should be used as a tool to make the right strategic decisions instead of seeing it as an exact identification of the product backlog’s size.
First of all the development team needs to have at least a basic understanding of the product backlog. If this is not the case, give the Product Owner one hour to explain the product backlog as good as possible or give the team some time to study the product backlog individually.
You will need the following tools prepared for the session:
- Printed or written index cards of all product backlog items, containing at least the title, but you may also include the type (epic, feature or story);
- Cards with the possible estimates (ie. story points, t-shirt sizes);
- A large open space to place the cards (can be a large table, wall or floor);
Step 1: Prioritize the backlog from smallest to biggest
The goal of step 1 is to place all items on the used space, in our case a wall, where the item on the left is the smallest and the item on the right the biggest. These are the rules of engagement for this step:
- All index cards of the product backlog items are placed in a deck;
- Players take turns picking a card from the deck;
- The player who picks the card reads the title of the index card out loud and places it somewhere on the wall;
- Instead of picking a new index card from the deck, a player may also choose to move an existing index card on the wall;
- During step 1 there is no discussion, only the product owner may give a very brief explanation in case it is totally unclear what a given item is about;
- It is not allowed to place index cards on top, above or underneath others, they must be placed before, between or after the already placed index cards;
- If the space is too small for all index cards to be placed from left to right, you can choose to make two rows, where the top right is biggest and bottom left smallest;
- Step 1 continues until all index cards are placed on the wall.;
Step 2: Study and discuss
The goal of step 2 is to improve the order of the index cards that have been placed on the wall:
- All players study the order of the index cards individually;
- In case a player does not agree with the position of an index card, he places it slightly upwards, so that it is visible that this index card needs to be discussed;
- After about 10 to 15 minutes the team starts discussing the cards that have been placed upwards;
- After discussing an item the team may choose to move it to another spot on the wall;
- During this step the product owner may take some more time to elaborate on the index cards that are being discussed so that they become more clear;
- In case of a long discussion just place the index card to the largest suggested position;
- This step ends when all index cards have been discussed and and the team agrees on the order from smallest to biggest.
Step 3: Add estimates
The goal of this step is to divide the index cards in estimate buckets. In our case we use story points based on the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55):
- The team places the estimates on a place on the wall above one of the index cards, starting with the smallest estimate;
- The index cards underneath and to the left of the estimate card are given the smallest estimate;
- The same is done for all next estimate sizes, where all index cards underneath and to the left of the estimate get the corresponding number of story points until the previous estimate card is reached;
- The team continues until the largest index card (the one to the most right spot of the wall) has the right estimate.
Step 4: Final check
The goal of the last step is to take 5 – 10 minutes to do a final check. In case of doubt, an index card can be discussed shortly for the last time and may be repositioned on the wall. Also the position of the estimation cards may be changed. Beware of too long discussions: the goal is to get a rough estimate of the entire size of the product backlog. In case an index card is being discussed too long, the scope is probably not clear enough and you might want to take the higher estimate so that the unclarity is encapsulated in the estimate. The team can refine the unclear items later on to remove the unclarity and re-estimate it.
Start estimating your product backlog faster right now
So, there are several approaches to decrease the time needed to estimate your product backlog. You may choose the team estimation game, magic estimation game or use our agile estimation game. With any of these approaches you will be able to speed up your estimation process enormously and I would strongly encourage you to do so. It will give you enough knowledge to create and adapt your product development strategy and still save you a lot of valuable time.

The PV solar power industry and online music service Napster have a lot in common: Both took on a sacred cow and changed our world in a profound way.
Industry experts have observed that recent changes in the music recording industry are amazingly similar to the inevitable changes that utility companies face, thanks to the rapidly expanding solar energy industry. The power companies are being forced to adapt to solar energy, just as the music industry had to adapt to the use of online music services.
Traditional Industry Models
The conventional utility industry, prior to the widespread adoption of photovoltaic power, had a monopoly on providing power. Not so long ago, everyone who needed electricity was forced to rely upon the power companies.
Electricity rates were based on demand, but also on the amount of profit the companies could command. Because municipal and private power providers have held a monopoly for almost a century, customers were at their mercy, subject to exorbitant and continuous rate hikes.
The traditional music industry mirrored this very model.
Anyone who wanted music was forced to purchase an artist’s records or CDs (or record their favorite songs from the radio). Record labels controlled industry pricing, banking the profits while restricting musical artists with exclusive, long-term contracts.
Customers paid whatever the industry demanded, because that was the only way to hear the music they loved on demand.
Impact of Napster
Then, at the end of the 20th century, Napster came along and changed everything.
Artists began creating their own recordings and filming their own music videos. Napster offered customers another way to access music, without the $19.99 price tag consumers had been forced to pay for a single album.
The record companies were, of course, not at all happy with this development. In fact, they claimed that music costs would actually go up as a result of this new business model.
But — surprise! — that never came to pass. In fact, the cost of music has come down significantly. Today, you can now have unlimited access to all the music you want for less than $10 per month through online and streaming music services.
And, of course, the music industry is still making money; executives simply had to think outside of the old paradigm and modify their business models to adapt.
Effect of PV Solar on New Industry Models
PV solar energy has had an eerily similar impact on the utility industry.
As more people across the country come to rely on photovoltaic power for part or all of their electricity needs, the power companies are working overtime to think of ways to make up for the loss in profits. They’re jacking up rates, supposedly to compensate for the infrastructure costs that PV solar customers often do not pay.
Currently, net metering laws require utility companies to pay for excess electricity generated by customers’ solar panel systems. Some utility companies have attempted to decrease the rates they pay customers for net metering and to enact surcharges exclusively for solar customers. In many cases, the power companies are not succeeding in their fight, and the pressure is mounting.
Just as the record companies had to change how they make money, the utility companies must find new methods to maintain their profit margins, rather than doing so at the expense of solar customers.
At Intermountain Wind & Solar, we applaud the changes that Napster and other trailblazing enterprises forced on the establishment. If you’re ready to assert your own energy independence, contact us today. We can explain exactly how financially beneficial PV solar power can be for your home or business.

Moda in Pelle haven’t exactly been quick off the mark with this one. It is, after all, a whole year since Marc Jacobs’ reverse heel shoes appeared on the runway at New York Fashion Week, but, undaunted, the chain have just released their own version of the so-called "surreal" shoes. Their "Drea" pump is £90, and comes in black or red patent leather. The execution here isn’t nearly as good as on the Mark Jacobs originals, obviously, but they are the affordable version of the designer look, for those of you who said you loved it. Did you love it, though? Would you buy these, or do you think the reverse-heel moment has well and truly passed – and good riddance to it?
(Get them here if you answered "yes" to the first question…)

About this book
This thesis describes the use of the angular distributions of the most energetic dijets in data recorded by the ATLAS experiment, at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the goal of which is to search for phenomena beyond what the current theory of Particle Physics (the Standard Model) can describe. It also describes the deployment of the method used in ATLAS to correct for the distortions in jet energy measurements caused by additional proton–proton interactions.
The thesis provides a detailed introduction to understanding jets and dijet searches at the LHC. The experiments were carried out at two record collider centre-of-mass energies (8 and 13 TeV), probing smaller distances than ever before. Across a broad momentum transfer range, the proton constituents (quarks and gluons) display the same kinematical behaviour, and thus still appear to be point-like. Data are compared to predictions corrected for next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics (NLO QCD) as well as electroweak effects, demonstrating excellent agreement. The results are subsequently used to set limits on parameters of suggested theoretical extensions to the Standard Model (SM), including the effective coupling and mass of a Dark Matter mediator.

Tried Visual Studio code.
Still find vim and a terminal is more productive for my needs! Each to their own.
That's totally cool. I know a few people who love Vim but I have never used it.
What are some the things that you prefer from Vim over VS Code?
Vim starts fast and consumes minimal memory.
Largest syntax highlighting support you can find, in terms of languages.
Fingers don't have to leave the keyboard.
I can go to line 18790 of a file make a change within a second or two.
Massive plugin library (although I'm sure VS Code is big too).
I'm a Unix/Linux developer, so the ability to ssh to a remote system and make a change really quickly is important for productivity, may not apply if your primary development platform is Windows.
Almost every Unix/Linux system has vim installed, or at least it's closely related sister vi.
The main one, steep learning curve.
C/C++ indexing could be improved upon. But VS Code is just as poor. QT Creator and full VS have decent indexing. Although full VS is a bit bloated, can be slow to start up and work with.
If you're a Unix/Linux developer in particular, learning vi/vim would be a string to your bow that you will be thankful for adding. Even most Emacs user know some vi/vim as Emacs isn't always installed.
It's more productive on Windows too in my opinion, but I'm not as convinced it's worth the effort learning if Windows is your primary development platform.
Wow! I'll have to give it a try too!
We’re a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
We strive for transparency and don't collect excess data.

Space Needle is an observatory tower located in downtown Seattle. It is famous among tourists for its unique shape and style that was built for the 1962 World's Fair. It is also famous for its observatory deck, located 520 feet above ground and revolving restaurant at 500 feet.
The needle is located in a complex called Seattle Center, an entertainment center where theme park rides, museums and events center is.
I haven't been actually up the needle because I wasn't able to visit the center during my last trip to seattle. We went up the tower in the morning together with Chester and his relatives.
On the way up the observatory tower
View from the deck in the morning. It was a dark and hazy day and dark clouds were present at that time. Seattle is known for its rains whole year round.
Me at the obervation deck
We also went back to the Space Needle that night. This time I was with Mark whom we look at as a "local" and fellow MVPs, including Chester.

More pictures are available in multiply. Just add me as a friend to view them.

Part maudlin Neil Simon comedy, part semi-entertaining sitcom, BYU’s new “Sy’s Girl” stretches at comedy, as well as at themes of reality and happiness, but ultimately falls just short of reaching them.
Moira (Jessica Mockett) is a 20-year-old college girl with a perfect boyfriend: Sy (Luke Drake), a handsome, sensitive, romantic fellow who is five years older than she and who doesn’t exist. She made him up when she was 12, and they’ve been “together” ever since.
Her roommate and best friend, Uber-feminist Delia (Rebecca Connerley), plays Rhoda to her Mary in their little sitcom house, complaining with world-weary sardonicism about the banalities of life. “I don’t mind guys in theory,” she says. “I just don’t like them in my personal space.” Cue laugh track.
Delia encourages Moira’s delusions, even though it means she avoids dating real guys. She defends Sy, saying that Moira was a “functioning adult who made a decision that made her happy.” A good point, except that Moira was 12 when she created Sy, and her childhood fantasy has now taken over her life.
Problems arise when Delia’s cousin, Quinn (Rick Murdock), playing the part of Generic Guy, comes over for dinner. In a highly unlikely sequence of events, Delia immediately tells Quinn all about Moira’s imaginary friend — something few people know about, yet Delia blabs it in five minutes. But Moira is more irked when her sitcom-standard Meddling Parents (Ruthanne Lay and F. Oscar Wright) drop by and wind up inviting Quinn — whom Moira doesn’t care much for, what with him being real and all — to Thanksgiving dinner.
Moira falls for Quinn, and Sy gets jealous. Moira has to face reality. That’s when it turns from a sitcom into a made-for-TV domestic melodrama, with people yelling things along the lines of, “You were never there for me!” and “What’s that supposed to mean?”
It’s a fine idea for a play, but it’s amazing that this thing, written by undergraduate Natalie Prado, went through BYU’s Writers/Directors/Actors Workshop and came out with so many holes still intact. Delia is a psychology major, yet staunchly supports Moira’s clearly unhealthy obsession. Moira’s parents, one two-dimensionally shrill and the other bumblingly soft-spoken, sneak into her apartment on a regular basis and read her diary — and then justify it by saying Moira never opens up to them.
Furthermore, the whole thing lacks emotional build, with Moira seeming to make the same decision several times before the play finally ends.
There are some good lines, and some clever, subtle observations about life, mixed in with all the jokey-silly stuff. Despite her character’s flaws and contradictions, Connerley is successful at conveying the likably grumpy Delia as somewhat real. Mockett is kind of stuck as Moira — who spends most of the play in a fantasy world — but does what she can to make her seem as real as possible. Similarly, Murdock does what he can with the puzzlingly non-descript Quinn.
Drake’s excellent scenes are the sincerely suave Sy are the play’s highlights, and are used sparingly. It’s easy to see why Moira has clung to him for eight years. But even Sy’s character breaks down after a while, when his jealousy gets the best of him and he starts to act like a normal, non-perfect guy. Is this really what Moira would imagine? The psychological implications touched on throughout the play are neat, but nothing is ever done with them. All you can do is wait until the end, when everything turns out happy and the closing credits roll.
Also: Throughout the first act, whenever there was a scene change (which was often), we had to hear bits of Sinead O'Connor's "No Man's Woman." It's an OK song, but not when you have to hear it 12 times in the space of an hour. That's petty, though, so I'm not even going to mention it.

Our plethora of connective devices are not a Commons in the center of town. We can smart mob our way toward each other, meet in the farmer’s market or at the peace rally or a swap-o-rama or the fist-waving crowd at the palace gate.
|By: Rev. Billy Talen Saturday June 5, 2010 10:42 am|
Everybody wonders if we’re running out of time. No-one knows what a social movement would look like. We’re texting each other madly. We’re gathering at borders and shouting at surveillance cameras. We always feel just a bit too far away, around the bend, ten feet or a hundred feet off. The point of power is elusive.

As entrepreneurs, there's nothing more frustrating than offering a product or service that we know is great but that people for some reason don't want to buy. Wouldn't it be great if we could systematically get lots of attention from consumers and keep them coming back for more?
The fact is, you can have the best offering of all your competitors and still not gain enough traction in the marketplace. The solution is to tap into consumer psychology and create an addictive product or service that customer simply can't resist.
That's exactly what Nir Eyal is all about. The co-founder of two successful start-ups, Eyal now consults on the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. He is the author of Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products.
According to Eyal, you must have four key elements in place to make your product or service practically irresistible to prospects -- and to keep your existing customers coming back for more.
1. Triggers. Triggers are pieces of information or directives that tell us what to do next. They are often external -- an image on our screen telling us to "click here" or an order form in the mail with purchasing instructions.
But it's the internal triggers that are most powerful at forming long-term behavioral habits among consumers. Internal triggers prompt us to take action using information already in our own brains. Examples of internal triggers are memories, associations with certain places, routines, situations, people and, most frequently, emotions. The most powerful emotional triggers are negative emotions -- boredom, fear, uncertainty. When we feel these negative emotions, we look for anything that provides relief from them, and we turn to those outlets with little or no conscious thought.
This has powerful implications for you as an entrepreneur. If your company can be the top-of-mind solution to ease your customer's pain point, you win. By engaging and addressing their emotional triggers, you'll attract more customers and keep them for life. "Monetization is a result of engagement. We don't have to constantly worry about sell, sell, sell," says Eyal. "What we should worry about is how to provide enough value consistently for people to come back all the time."
2. Action. Action is the simplest behavior you can take in anticipation of a reward. The easier you can make it for your customer to get relief -- to scratch that psychological itch of fear, uncertainty or boredom -- the more addictive your product or service will be. Says Eyal: "Just think of some of the most habit-forming products out there and how simple they are. Scrolling on Pinterest. Searching on Google. Pushing the play button on YouTube."
Our job as entrepreneurs is to figure out how to provide relief in the easiest way possible. Think about that the next time you lament that customers aren't filling out the forms you send them or taking the desired steps. The fact that they're not doing what you want them to do is probably your fault, not theirs. You haven't designed the experience to be easy enough. "This is part of our responsibility as designers of experiences. If the user, the customer, is not doing the intended behavior, we as entrepreneurs have to take it upon ourselves to ask what is in their way and how we can remove it for them," he says.
3. Variable reward. Obviously a reward is the relief that customers get by taking an action -- their itch is finally scratched. And the most habit-forming products and services tend to feature variable rewards. As the psychologist B.F Skinner showed with his famous mice boxes back in the 1950s, rewards that are given out on a variable schedule are valued more than consistently given rewards.
This pattern also holds true with many consumers, who tend to be more captivated and engaged by things that have elements of inconsistency to them. Think about how many times you repeatedly check your email or log onto facebook during the day, for example. It's the possibility of a reward that keeps us coming back. So if your business caters to customers looking to be excited or entertained in some way, adding a little variability to the experience will keep customers guessing and surprised -- and scratch their itch while leaving them wanting more.
That said, Eyal points out that some customers want to mitigate uncertainty and reduce variability. In those cases, our job is to alleviate that uncertainty around a situation that is inherently variable by giving the user more agency and control.
4. Investment. This is the element entrepreneurs most often overlook. Investments load the next trigger. Keeping in touch with existing customers through emails or other methods doesn't necessarily lead to immediate sales, but it will encourage them to come see you again in the future. Investment also means more value for your offering.
This is seen most clearly in technology. Unlike a physical item that wears down the more we use it, habit-forming technology becomes more valuable with use. The more content you put in your iTunes library or the more data you add to Mint.com, the more valuable those resources becomes. The more followers you accrue on Twitter, the more valuable that network becomes.
Your reputation is also a part of the investment element. The better your reputation is -- both in the physical world and on review sites like Angie's List or Task Rabbit -- the more you can charge for your product or service and the more likely you will be chosen over your competitors.
Give yourself the tools you need to excel in your business and in your personal life. Check out the insights, tactics and actionable strategies from today's top entrepreneurs at AES Nation.

I added a custom field for our definition of done. It is a checklist with one of the values checked as the default.
I cannot get it to appear on any issues though. When I click "Where is my field?" I keep getting this -
The field 'Definition of Done' does not have value for issue SCRUM-10 and will not be displayed on the view issue page. Set value for that field so that it shows up.
As you found in the message, a files appears on the view screen only if it has a value. You might have different screens on edit/create screens and in workflow transition screens. Add your field to those screens so that you can enter the value while editing an issue or while progressing the issue to Done state.

Has your pet every gotten sick after a vaccination? I see pets on a regular basis with conditions such as skin disease, diarrhea, behavioral issues and neurological disease such as seizures or vestibular disease that begin shortly after a vaccination is given. These are often referred to as ‘idiopathic’ in nature, which simply means that no direct cause has been identified. I have seen enough of these cases that I believe firmly that there is a connection between some of the chronic and unexplained diseases that we see in animals and the vaccinations they receive.
Vaccinations are designed to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies. Unfortunately, this response can be misdirected towards certain issues of the body causing inflammatory disease that may present as itching, diarrhea or vomiting, changes in behavior and seizures among other symptoms. This is often compounded in puppies who are given too many vaccines at a very young age, which can overwhelm an immature immune system.
For example, I recently saw a 12 week old puppy that had been itching badly for 1 month after receiving vaccinations at 6 and 8 weeks of age. This pup had otherwise healthy skin with no signs of mites or other external causes of itching. His itch was an internal reaction – just a coincidence that it started after the second puppy booster? I think not!
In order to help your pet when symptoms are due to vaccine-related illness, it is important to support and heal the immune system and help the body to detoxify. Conventional medicine that only treats symptoms will not eliminate the underlying cause and your pet will need to stay on these medications forever in order to keep the symptoms under control.
Holistic treatment alternatives can help clear the effects of the vaccination and aid in resolution of the symptoms. Not only will your pet be more comfortable with resolution of its symptoms, but will go forward in a state of better health. http://www.belleviewanimalclinic.com/vaccine-alternatives

Central Valley teacher gives x-rated handout
Central Valley — "E" is for embarrassed — like the teacher who inadvertently used a kinky alphabet in a handout to parents.
"C" is for the calls alerting school officials to the sexy script. And "A" is for the apology that followed.
A veteran teacher used the font — depicting quasi-anatomically correct male and female stick figures contorting into letters of the alphabet — on the cover sheet of a spelling curriculum given to parents at a Pine Tree Elementary open house last week.
Think Kama Sutra meets Sesame Street.
But at first glance, it's difficult to make out the salaciousness of the type font.
Sources said the teacher had no idea the alphabet was offensive when she downloaded the font from the Internet. It's unclear if any disciplinary action has been or will be taken against the teacher, who sources said has been with the district for many years.
"I definitely believe it was a mistake," said Kelly Stegmann, Pine Tree Parent Teacher Association president. Stegmann said she received very few calls from parents about it.
The design is so subtle that even school officials missed it. And many parents didn't know what they were looking at until they received a letter of apology Friday from Pine Tree principal Jean Maxson.
"This packet was reviewed by a number of people, including myself," Maxson wrote. "I take full responsibility for this inappropriate publication."
The spelling packet was given only to parents, not students. The font only appeared on the packet's cover sheet.
"It was very unintentional. No one did this on purpose," Superintendent Joseph DiLorenzo said. "It was missed. It was a mistake."
Mistake, which begins with the letter "M." You can just imagine what that looked like.

Has anybody used generic rotors for Avid mech discs? I have used a Kool Stop rotor with Kool stop pads and things were pretty good. Now I decided to run a bigger rotor 185mm. I am using the DiaTech avid look alike replica and EBC Red pads. So far its sucking ass and the pads are showing some significant wear already after two days. Any experiences?

I've started a new sizzing romance series Gigolo Romance. The first of 12 stories has been posted! Here's a excerpt from the first chapter:
Chapter 1 – Vegas Here I Come
It had been a long week of seminars and speeches for Mary McAllister the VP of marketing at the company’s convention in Las Vegas . She was ready to let down her hair, dive into the night life and have some fun.
She booked herself a suite at the Palazzo Casino Towers away from the Hilton where ever body else was staying. This is going to be her private party time and she didn’t want anyone interrupting her fun.
She checked into her room then went shopping at the Shabby Chick Closet to find some sexy and slinky outfits for the weekend. This was her first time at trying to step out of her conservative good girl life style. She knew Vegas would be the perfect place to open up and let out a few pent up fantasies she had been having all week. She had no idea how to flirt or approach a guy. All of her relationships had been with straight conservative business types that only knew one position and no sense of adventure or exploration.
She wanted more this time around, someone with experience that knew how to tease and open a woman’s desire. Her close friend Marsha told her about her “special friend” she met in Vegas three months ago when she had a one day layover on her way back from London .
“Mary, he was dynamite!” said Marsha with wide eyes confessing her experience with Austin . “He knew what to do. I just relaxed and surrendered to his patient skillful touching and kissing. And the sex, O My God, It was amazing the way he made me feel.”
Come read more and see how "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas."

Just a quick post about a new coupon code for the Adult Sensations online store. They’ve got a 15% sale on right now, and you can combine it with this 15% coupon code too. Just remember, this site is not safe for work, but nice and safe for cost browsing from home!
- Coupon Code: extra15
- Discount: 15% off
- Expires: 8th March 2011
Let me show you some examples:
My sister has one similar to this, the Liptrick by Booty Parlour. It is showing at $27.16, but comes down to $23.09 when the coupon code is applied. It’s a pretty discrete little toy you can keep in your handbag!
I like the sound of this Skin Honey Kissable topping too. It is $22.91 or $19.47 with the coupon code. I’d go for the vanilla honey chai in that one.
While we’ve got our own permanent 10% discount code (BARGAINMOOSE), from time to time they bring out an offer like this one which is slightly better, for a shorter time period, which might be worth taking advantage of.

In the middle of last Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600, Carl Edwards came up behind Dale Jarrett and ran into Jarrett’s rear bumper. Jarrett kept control of his car, but he didn’t take kindly to what he perceived as reckless driving on Edwards’ part.
“The 99 [Edwards] ran into the back of me going down the backstretch, and I’m not taking anymore of his bull,” Jarrett said after finishing eighth to Edwards’ third. “If he wants to mess with me, we can calm him down. I guarantee you that.”
Edwards has a different take, claiming that he was simply racing for the lead, and that the bump was just the result.
“I notice a lot of times that I hear a lot of guys in this sport, they seem to be unable to look at things objectively,” Edwards responded. “In Dale Jarrett’s case, I think if he was able to look at it from my position, maybe he would have seen things differently.”
Differing perspectives — it seems to be the recurring trend of the 2005 Nextel Cup season. On the one side you have those like Edwards, who view their style of driving as doing what it takes to win. On the other side you have those like Jarrett, who are fed up with a recklessness they believe has led to a startling number of cautions this season.
Not surprisingly, the two camps are split across generational lines – Old School vs. New School.
Representing the Old School on Friday was 23-year veteran Mark Martin: “This is the truth — it’s been a long time since any of these drivers had to fix any of these cars. … The veterans aren’t out there running over each other, because the veterans used to build these cars.”
Representing the New School was Edwards, still talking about the incident with Jarrett: “I think some of these guys, to me that’s whining. I’m not above saying that, and that’s my opinion on that.”
There are technical reasons for some of the carnage, which was amplified in last Sunday’s record-setting 22-caution race. A shorter spoiler and softer tires have led to tighter racing, which equates to more wrecks.
“We’re running so fast around here,” said New-Schooler Jimmie Johnson. “If the car breaks traction for a split second, the car moves three or four feet. And when you’re racing within inches, three or four feet — it’s all over and you cause a wreck.”
Martin doesn’t disagree, but doesn’t think a smaller spoiler is a valid excuse for having more wrecks.
“That means we need to be aware of that and keep our cars under control,” he said.
In other words, he said, drivers need to have the judgement on how to drive these cars.
Back in the early 1990s, Martin said the cars at Daytona were so hard to drive that no one went within 25 feet of another car, because they were afraid of crashing.
“And those races, where it was the slickest and the cars were the most out of control, were the ones that we got the least cautions in,” Martin said. “So I don’t believe it’s the spoiler’s fault.”
They all agree the pressure to win — from owners, sponsors, media and fans — makes drivers sometimes take chances they otherwise wouldn’t take. Combine that with the tight racing and you have the recipe for more and more Coca Cola 600s, said one of NASCAR’s legends.
“Progress makes things better and progress makes things speed up,” said 1983 series champion Bobby Allison. “The older drivers that have progressed along with the progress have been able to gradually adapt to what the next step is.
“A new guy jumps into something that is now a really sophisticated piece of engineering equipment. That’s gotta be pretty scary under certain circumstances,” he continued. “The mistakes cause such major incidents anymore that the whole pictures’s gotta really be tough on them.”
Regardless of which school they come from, it is.

Sony will sell about $2.9 billion worth of shares in a new IPO for its insurance unit, Japan's biggest IPO this year. 34.5 percent of Sony Financial Holding Inc. will go on sale in the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 11th. It's expected that the money generated from the IPO will raise funds for the consumer electronics and games divisions.
"Sony could use the funds for various options to strengthen its electronics and game businesses,'' said Mitsuhiro Osawa, a Tokyo-based analyst at Mizuho Investors Securities Co. "A cut in the price of the PlayStation 3 is one option,'' said Osawa.
Analysts are predicting that another PS3 price cut
may happen in the coming months. Certainly, the gain of nearly $3 billion in funds will certainly help subsidizing any losses that Sony would incur from such a move.

Forget Barack Obama and Donald Trump, Bill Maher is America’s most politically polarizing living figure. Whether you like him or not, Maher is one of those people you see on TV and go, “I wish I could talk to that guy, just for 15 minutes.” Not because of aligned political ideals, or because of simple celebrity, but rather, because Bill Maher is informed, convicted and unafraid to talk about his beliefs. I got my 15 minutes, thanks to Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living magazine, and those minutes were enthralling. To be honest, I could barely keep up.
Say what you want about Mr. Maher, but you have to hand it to him: the guy is an entertainer — always on and ready to talk. Speaking of that, Warning: Explicit language!
Between Real Time with Bill Maher, HBO’s Vice, and a national stand-up tour, I’m curious: Are you so busy that you have to stop through Spokane just to pick up some legal weed?
[Laughs] Believe it or not, it’s actually legal where I live in Los Angeles. See, I have a medical marijuana card to treat my infirmity. I don’t remember what that infirmity was, but I do know that marijuana is very helpful in treating it.
Being an outspoken proponent for drug legalization, do you see Washington and Colorado as the first dominoes to fall?
We’re hopeful of that. There are some unfortunate rearguard people. Chris Christie is very much against any sort of legalized marijuana. Because, you know, he’s very disciplined about what he puts in his mouth. [Drug legalization proponents] have waited. Obama fixed the economy, healthcare, gay marriage, he opened up Cuba, he made a climate deal with China, and a nuclear deal with Iran. I’m hopeful his last thing out the door will be … Weed! “Weed, bitches!”
Turning to the 2016 presidential race, it seems like both a comedian’s goldmine and low hanging fruit. How do you maintain a balance when writing?
I never try to do something that other people are doing. Obviously you have to cover similar subjects — you can’t avoid Donald Trump. But I do try to find the angle that is unique. I always say, “What’s good for America is usually bad for comedy” and vice versa. And that’s definitely true this election season. Donald Trump is fantastic for comedy, terrible for America.
So should Trump’s slogan then be, “Make America Comedy Great Again”?
He’s doing his part, I’ll tell you that. Look, it’s early. The great thing about worrying about Donald Trump is that nothing he says will ever come to pass. We will not be building a 2000 mile wall with a door in it [laughs]. We will not be deporting 30 million people and their entire families. This is just typical of Republicans living in their heads.
This article won’t come out until October, it’s August now. Will Donald Trump still be in the race then? If so, predict what crazy thing he’ll have just said.
Well, he’ll definitely be in the race. I’ve been saying it for years — when everyone else said Trump wasn’t serious about running for president — that I thought he was serious. You have to remember he did sue me two years ago, something I had to defend in court and spend a lot of money on. I’m pretty well acquainted with Donald Trump and his ego.
As far as what crazy thing he’s going to say? That’s a great question. Because it almost doesn’t matter. There’s nothing he says at this point that puts him out of the running.
Characticures aside, what do you see as the real strength of the Republican party? What threat, if any, do they pose on the Democrats in 2016?
Their real strength is that the people are uneducated. They go by their gut and don’t know any of the issues. If you don’t know anything, then it’s easy for a politician to say something like, “ISIS? I’ll take them out!” What does that even mean? You’re going to drop a bomb? They’re just going to give up because you’re Ted Cruz and you’re a chicken hawk with a law degree?
Recently you said, “If you’re not upsetting people, you’re not being brave.” What person, public or private, instilled this belief in you?
Probably George Carlin. He was really inspiring as a comedian. George, especially, the older he got, the more he just did not give a fuck. That’s the most important thing, I think, when you’re doing standup comedy. You just have to not care about what anyone in the audience thinks. If you’re a real artist and you want to be a true to yourself, you cannot pander.
Carlin would’ve been great on Twitter.
You’re right. Can you imagine? He would’ve been a fucking Twitter demon.
Tis the season for longstanding hosts to retire from late night talk shows. For whenever you do retire, have you ever considered a successor for Real Time with Bill Maher?
I never really gave it any thought. It’s not an experience that anyone in TV has remotely had. This person would have to start with a comedy monologue, and then move right to a serious newsmaker interview, then go to a panel, then do a comedy bit, then back to the panel, a celebrity one-on-one interview, then New Rules to the end of the show. All live and without a break. There’s no re-racking your brain, editing or starting over. Anyone who wants to try it can, but I’m telling you: you’re gonna have to practice!

About The Teacher
As we have always worked together, this introduction will be about me and my wife (2nd picture). We are Bert (1946) and Krista (1959) Jonkers. We have been active as counselors, teachers and supervisors personal growth for over 35 years. We have mentored countless people on their life journey, have taught and supervised therapists and coaches. We have always worked on our own growth, done courses and studies, but our most important ‘school’ has always been our own life. We made experiences out of our successes and adversity, taken our choices from a constantly new perspective and developed into Buddhist spiritual leaders. Krista is on a sabbatical and no longer takes an active role in the groups and retreats (except with some activities for children) but focusses on organization. Bert doesn't speak english very well but during the lectures and personal meetings it's possible that Egbert or Tessel translates.

Last week New York Judge Robert Grossman ruled that all of MERS’ business practices are illegal.
It’s a staggering blow to the banks and their endless efforts to circumvent due process. It has the potential to once again slow down the foreclosure process.
The foreclosure registry was set up by the banks with one purpose in mind, to make securitizing mortgages easier for them.
And homeowners, as is usually the case with matters relating to bundled mortgages, were getting screwed.
Here’s the short explanation. MERS allowed the banks to bypass public record keeping, all in an effort to streamline the records that banks were using to foreclose.
Local record keeping regulations might have been cumbersome for the banks to keep up with, but it protected the homeowners and provided transparency.
By allowing the banks to essentially hijack an important part of the record keeping process, namely the recording of each time a mortgage was sold to a different investor, banks had much greater control then than they ever should have been allowed to.
Banks can talk about streamlining the process as the reason behind MERS all they want, but the effect was that it was much more difficult for homeowners to see who currently owned their mortgage, and it just allowed the banks to be sloppy with their records, and they were.
MERS was separating the notes from the mortgages, again so they could be securitized, yet in the case that was brought before Grossman, their lawyers argued they could still foreclose because in theory, the mortgage follows the note.

To whom it may concern
I, Staphylococcus intermedius, has a cell wall consists of a very thick peptidoglycan layer. I am a Gram positive member of the bacterial genus Staphylococcus consisting of clustered cocci. I am facultative anaerobes, but mainly grow by aerobic respiration, or fermentation that produces lactic acid. My Secretions are numerous, but include surface associated adhesins, endotoxins, exoenzymes, capsular polysaccharide. the capsule is responsible for enhanced virulence of a mucoid strain. I am a type of bacteria that causes skin infections in dogs. The Low levels of this bacteria that are normally present on the dog’s skin and mucus membranes, and generally do not cause a problem. However, all it takes is a small wound or irritation to make the dog lick a certain area of his skin repeatedly, transferring bacteria from the mouth to the skin. Once exposed to air, the bacteria take advantage of their new living conditions to begin reproducing out of control and cause an infection. Often these conditions include an immune related disease in the dog, malnutrition, injury or trauma or other change in the dog’s environment. Also, I am responsible for canine pyoderma, a widespread inflammatory skin disease. I am a very rare human pathogen; however, I am an animal pathogen, mostly dogs. I am known to carry many virulence factors. Strains of this species were originally isolated from the anterior nares of pigeons, dogs, mink, and horses. Many, but not all, of the isolated strains show coagulase activity. Clinical tests for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus may produce false positives by detecting S. intermedius, as this species shares some phenotypic traits with methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains. I am also generate toxins and enzymes that can destroy both red and white blood cells. My family members are Staphylococcaceae, but also I do have a close relative named streptococci in which we have similar shape, they form chains because they divide only in one plane . My friends are S. pseudintermedius, S.delphini. I also have beautiful pictures of me and you will be able to see them below. However, I hope you would consider all the information I gave above and would be enough to convince that I am a famous disease in animals especially in dogs.

Use An Uneven Border of Hexagon Cement Tiles To Soften Your Kitchen Space
We love Houzz for connecting with architects, interior designers, kitchen planners, home builders and home owners. We also turn to it for ideas. We wanted to share a few that we found in a recent post, 10 Tile Layouts You Haven’t Though Of, that might spark a few thoughts for what to do in your home.
Here’s one we love, designed by SuzAnn Kleitzien Design. This kitchen uses hexagon cement tiles to provide visual relief from the many right angles found in a kitchen. To further enhance the effect, the uneven border of concrete tiles merges with the wooden floor, providing a soft border between the kitchen and the adjoining great room. It’s an idea that works well in these types of rooms, subtly setting off the kitchen area from the other spaces. It can be especially useful in a room that is extremely large, creating intimate “rooms” that break up an otherwise cavernous space.
Whether you’re considering plain hexagon cement tiles or one of the hexagon tile designs from our new patterned hexagon tile collection, we can help you pick the perfect encaustic tile for your space. Call us today — 213.788.4238 — or use our live chat service to talk one of our staff. We’re sure you’ll fall in love before the grout even dries.

From David Bentley at Coventry Telegraph
Would you like to hitchhike to Betelgeuse, stargaze from Vulcan (before it was destroyed in the new Star Trek film, as in the image on the right!) or explore the galaxies far, far away where the Star Wars saga began?
Sci-Fi-London teamed up with The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, for Sci-Fi Universe, in which the planetarium’s laser-powered show created a 360-degree IMAX-like experience flying past the planets of the Solar System and boldly going where no observatory has gone before.
For those of you who, like me, missed this special event, all is not lost. The Royal Observatory told me: “Although it was put together as a special one-off for the Sci-Fi-London, it has been mentioned that it may be developed further and run for other special sci-fi events.”
Read More here
I would love to see something like this! It would be so cool to see all of the big Sci-fi stuff together like that, especially since you never really see what the universe looks like in the different sci fi worlds.
Did anyone get the chance to see this? Would you go see it if it came to your area?

[Previous entry: "Mugging for laughs"] [Next entry: "Naming Names"]
07/09/2006: Like Whatever
All my snorkel equipment gets carried around in a pink mesh backpack. Mesh, so that everything has at least a fighting chance of drying off. Also, I seem to remember that Joss used to have a pink mesh backpack and I always thought it was adorable. (One of the many reasons why Joss is cool is his unashamed love of things like pink mesh backpacks.) Anyway, part of the glory of the pink mesh backpack is that it can go into the washing machine smelling like a dead fisherman, and when you pull it out again it's as fresh as the silk rose pinned to a debutante's dress.
Ooh, didja catch those analogies? I've talked about these before, about using them in stage directions to quickly paint a picture. Like this one:
The ship is tossed like a bird in a storm.
Or in dialogue, to get a clear image of what a character is thinking, such as in this line from my old pilot about showgirls. Here, Holly is trying on her false eyelashes for the first time:
Whoa. They’re heavy. Blinking is like doing pushups.
Recently, I got a letter from Dr. Ingrid Glomp, in Gernany, asking about how one can learn to "think and write in analogies." Hmm. Interesting. I can't think of any tricks for this except to just make a sort of checklist when you're looking for a line, remind yourself to stop and think about what the experience *feels* like. If you ever find yourself hunting for the words to describe the effect you want, just consciously go looking for analogies. You do it naturally anyway. Every time you describe a victory as "tarnished," or a laugh as "grating," you're using analogy (metaphor really, but who's counting).
Now, I must admit, I may not be devoting my full attention to answering this question. I'm totally distracted by the name Ingrid Glomp. It's fantastic. Ingrid Glomp – great name. Seriously. Next time we talk, I'm totally going to talk about naming characters. Quiz: Why is House named House? Answer coming soon.
Lunch: popcorn with parmesan cheese and hot sauce on it. Yippee!

A safer way of skate boarding : Extreme Skater (Android)
We all like skateboarding but only few of us go on to the streets for actual fun. For the rest of you lazy people like me , this game is the perfect substitute to physical skateboarding.
After the success of hugely hit iStunt2 , Miniclip.com has come up with a brand new game called Extreme Skater of the same genre. With this game the developers have definitely upped the ante for action sport games like this.
There is not much of a story here. The ultimately goal is to keep stunting and earn coins.
With a total of 78 levels this games brings in loads of edge of the seat actions and stunts that you have the power to perform. These 78 levels are distributed in 4 areas namely Parks, Jungle Adventures, Urban Mayhem and Lava Mountain. For a huge variety of stunts and tricks the game brings in a combination of swipe and tilt controls for an easy and intuitive game play. There is a store in the game where you buy tricks, riders,boards and level skips with the coins that you earn in game.
The game has very small load times and hi resolution graphics. The sound is quite funky and perfectly matches the game genre. As you would normally expect from hi-res games, this game too sucks out your phone's battery at a very fast rate. Overall the graphics enhance the game play to a next level and forces you to stick on to this game for longer times.
Beautiful game. Everyone should at least try this game for once. For you safety please do not perform these stunts at home. You can download this game for free from Google Play Store Link Here.
Here is a short trailer of the game.

Employee or Volunteer: What’s the Difference?: Nonprofit organizations frequently depend on the service and commitment of volunteers as well as the labor of employees. The skills and talents of both types of workers bring nonprofit missions to life. At first glance, the simple difference between these two types of workers is that employees get paid and volunteers don’t. Yet many nonprofit leaders have discovered that there is more to distinguishing between employees and volunteers than whether an individual receives a regular paycheck. This article explores two subtopics under the umbrella issue of employee versus volunteer status: whether employees may also volunteer, and the consequences of compensating volunteers.

We have had a resurgence of the boards recently and we decided it was also time to update our main site here. As a site, Cerulean Butterfly has evolved throughout the years. In the beginning, we were associated more with the 'pro-anorexia' movement; however over the years, as our site has grown and developed, our stance has changed. We now consider our site to be not 'pro-anorexia', but 'pro-reality'. Our mission is to educate people from all backgrounds about what exactly an eating disorder is, as well as offer support to those struggling or not ready to recover.
Cerulean Butterfly also offers support to those suffer from mental illness, self harm , sexual abuse and addiction issues. We at CB know how difficult these issues can be and we are here to support and help in any way possible.
While we encourage health and happiness for our members, we also support members still struggling with any kind of illness. Our mantra: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE! You can always find another Butterfly here who understands what you are going through. We are a community and strive to offer love and support to all our members in whatever situation relevant to their lives. The only proviso is that to join the forum you must be suffering from an eating disorder and over 15 years of age.
Over the 10 years that we have been a community, many of us have met in real life on several occasions. Many of us have made new best friends and have grown up together. We have social events and we have strengthened our bonds by continuing to offer support and encouragement to any Butterfly in need. We have Butterflies of all ages here, and welcome anyone above the age of 15. We have laughed, cried, screamed together all while offering continuing love and support to each other. This is what makes Cerulean Butterfly a solid, safe, and supportive community. Come join us and see what a wonderful feeling it is to be a part of an accepting group of wonderful people!

When did IT get into the mobile phone business? This question is coming up more and more often, and IT departments are starting to look like boiled frogs. (If you aren't familiar with the boiled frog analogy, basically, if you throw a frog into boiling water, it will jump out. If you put a frog in cool water and slowly heat it up to a boil, the frog doesn't jump out and ends up boiling to death.) IT departments look more like boiled frogs because of mobile devices' surge in popularity and the user community's expectations that IT pros are supposed to be experts in all of the platforms and seamlessly support them. We have more important things to do!
A growing number of users are asking why they can't have an iPhone (or a Palm Pre or a Windows Mobile device or an Android device) instead of a BlackBerry. Even employees who are not issued company smartphones want to connect their personally-owned devices to the corporate email system. At our help desk, we have seen smartphone-related requests move from a top 25 issue to a top 10 issue in the past eight months. As IT departments are increasingly asked to do more with less, this support issue can easily be relegated back to the user.
An alternative approach
Let's look at an alternative approach to this issue and then see if we can poke holes in it.
IT leaders can do away with corporate mobile plans and have users get whatever device they want and allow them to connect to their work Microsoft Exchange account. Give them $100 toward their first phone and $75 per month extra per month to help pay for their plan.
Here are the benefits:
- Eliminates the need to manage a special BlackBerry Enterprise Server. IT departments no longer have to manage a special BlackBerry Enterprise Server and worry about supporting Microsoft Exchange and another business critical server with the same level of availability. Everything is managed at the Exchange server, which already has the robustness, the backup systems, and the service levels needed to support a high-availability environment. Help desk requests go from setup and configuration tasks at 30 minutes per incident to clicking a Remote Wipe button in the management console if the device is reported lost or stolen. Also, you do not have to install and support additional applications such as iTunes.
- Saves the company money.
Many of these corporate mobile plans are a joke; for instance, they offer 15% discounts based upon the number of users with pooled minutes. What they don' tell you is that in some plans (such as AT&T), there are no rollover minutes, and if a user goes over the allotted minutes in their plan, they are still charged the overage rates even if there are plenty of minutes in the corporate plan. Then we have to go through administrative headaches to collect the overage charges from the employee. You have an angry employee, as well as a bunch of unnecessary administrative overhead to correct the issue. Your accounting and payroll departments have more important things to do.Try this: Take what you spend in corporate plans and divide it by the number of your users. Does it come out to $100 per user or $90 per user? Where is the 15% discount? With personal plans that have unlimited minutes at $70 and data plans at $12.95, why bother with corporate plans? Granted, some corporate plans (such as T-Mobile) operate the right way, but others require a lot of work and administrative overhead to make it function properly.
- Requires self-governance. Employees are motivated to keep their minutes in check. In fact, a wisely managed plan can actually put a couple of extra bucks in users' pockets. For those employees who don't quite cover their plan, consider personal use of the business phone. Now you don't have to comb through individual phone bills and carve out what was a personal call and what was a business call and add unnecessary expense reports and accounting department resources to get things straight.
- Leads to better a customer service experience. In the case of AT&T, business accounts need to go through a business account representative to get service. These reps work Monday through Friday, 9:00 - 5:00. So if your phone breaks or gets lost on a Friday, you usually have to wait until Tuesday at least before you can get a replacement. You cannot go to an AT&T or Apple store or Radio Shack to get immediate service; they will not and cannot service you. Reimbursed personal plans allow users to go directly to a retail location seven days a week and get immediate service. Also, these retail locations now become the employee's mobile phone support. The retail locations are staffed with experts on all aspects of each phone; it's their job to be the expert so that responsibility doesn't fall to your IT department.
- Improves employee productivity. When an employee uses a device that they like and are comfortable using, an argument can be made that they are more productive. Additionally, this new policy allows employees who wouldn't qualify to get a corporate-provided mobile phone to use their own phone to access company resources whenever or wherever they are.
- Saves IT from having to stay abreast of the latest smartphones technology. With the advances in smartphone technology happening at such a fast pace, staying on top of all the changes will be a full-time job. With hundreds of new applications coming out for the iPhone every week and the introduction of Android devices, it's going to get more difficult to keep up to date. This environment sets IT up to fail their customers by becoming a roadblock to introducing new technologies. Traditional IT staff, who are focused on servers, applications, software development, and networks, will be hard-pressed to become the mobile device guru. This is best left up to partners who have full-time experts in these areas.
With this level of flexibility, there are also the following potential risks:
- Company applications This is probably the one issue that would prevent IT from executing this plan. Unless the application can be run via a virtual machine interface (such as Citrix Repeater) on the smartphone, company-specific applications on mobile devices are typically proprietary to the device.
- Security BlackBerry services are used and approved by NATO for secure messaging; the other devices do not have this level of security. Although other devices are catching up, they are still not up to the level of the BlackBerry. However, leveraging ActiveSync connections via SSL can make email secure. If you employ email filters, such as those provided by Cisco's IronPort, you can reduce social security numbers, credit card numbers, or other HIPAA or PCI risk areas, from ever leaving your organization. Additionally, leveraging new mobile applications, such as Mobile Citrix Client, doesn't require any company data to reside on the phone at all.
- Employee responsibility The biggest challenge will be employees actually telling IT that their phone was lost or stolen so we can wipe the phone. Upper management support will be key here.
- Employee waiver
With all ActiveSync devices, there is the ability to remotely wipe a phone or disable it; in addition, with Exchange, you can enforce a PIN code to lock the phone. Although some phones allow you to change the frequency of when it locks the screen, the capability is still there. When dealing with personal phones, this can be tricky. When you wipe the phone, you also wipe personal information, pictures, videos, etc. In order to access company resources, you can require employees to sign a waiver to allow the company to locate and wipe the phone in the case of lost or stolen phones and when an employee is terminated.You will have to remind users to back up their device. All of the other devices can leverage SSL-encrypted connections to Microsoft Exchange via ActiveSync. Is it as secure? That is debatable. But when you truly look at the risk of data loss, it is minimal. Both services allow you to remotely wipe the device in the event of theft or loss. Of course, the user community must leverage Microsoft ActiveSync with SSL certificates.
When considering these risks, it is important to put them into context. Yes, iPhones can be a major distraction in the wrong hands with all of the time-wasting games, but what is the real cost of being so tight-fisted with company resources? Administrative overhead, HR, training, support, maintenance, etc. all need to be taken into consideration when you need to micromanage your workforce at that level.
Also, how much of an impact would the potential security risks regarding non-BlackBerry devices actually have on your organization? Do you leverage Citrix or other virtual technology where the data doesn't reside on the device? Do you control PCI and HIPAA information at the source and prevent it from being transferred or emailed in the first place? Is the nature of your business such that your email traffic and files will not be a detriment to your business if it falls into the wrong hands? How secure is secure enough for your business?
I believe that intensive and rigorous end user training about computer security would go a lot further than restricting the device. This training makes users aware of what is possible with regards to identity theft, social engineering, virus protection, transaction encryption, and protection of personally identifiable information.

It had been proved earlier that spherically symmetric, static space-times have ten, seven, six, or four independent Killing vectors (KV's), but there are no cases in between. The case of six KV's is investigated here. It is shown that the space-time corresponds to a hyperboloid cross a sphere, reminiscent of Kaluza-Klein theory, with a compactification from four down to two dimensions. In effect, there is a unique metric for this space-time corresponding to a uniform mass distribution over all space.

Cults associated with sacred stones were once prevalent throughout the highlands. Sacred stones included oddly shaped river rocks or unearthed objects created by ancient highlands cultures, such as mortars, pestles, club heads and zoomorphic figurines. Ancestral and other spirits resided in these earthly forms, establishing a direct link with the spiritual world. The Enga people believed sacred stones were handed down from the 'sky people' who came to earth and created mankind; others thought they were the petrified bones of the ancestors. Stored in ritual houses or buried at sacred sites, stones were 'fed' the blood or fat of pigs on ritual occasions.
Archaeologists believe prehistoric stone mortars were used to grind seeds and nuts for nourishment, and pigments for ceremonies.

Identification of children at risk of dyslexia: The validity of teacher judgements using 'Phonic Phases'
Snowling MJ., Duff F., Petrou A., Schiffeldrin J., Bailey AM.
We report an investigation of the validity of teachers' ratings of children's progress in 'phonics' as a screener for dyslexia. Seventy-three 6-year-olds from a whole school population were identified as 'at risk' of dyslexia according to teacher judgements of slow progression through phonic phases. Six months later, children's attainments in literacy and phonological skills were compared with those of their typically developing peers matched on age and gender. Teacher assessments of risk were related to individual differences in performance on a standardised test of reading ability. Teacher assessments overestimated 'risk of dyslexia', defined as below-average reading performance. However, teacher judgements, supplemented by tests of phoneme awareness and rapid naming, allowed a sensitive and specific identification of children who subsequently experienced reading difficulties. These findings show teachers can identify risk of dyslexia; the accuracy of this process can be improved by administering two tests of phonological skills. © 2011 UKLA.

Preliminary Survey Report, Didier Taylor Refractories Corporation Plant, Newtown, Ohio, Report No. CT-110-12A.
NIOSH 1981 Oct:3 pages
An on site visit was made to the Didier Taylor Refractories Corporation located in Newtown, Ohio for the purpose of evaluating control methods instituted to protect workers from hazardous conditions. Raw materials were received at this location in bags and canisters. The bags were opened in an area with dual pull exhaust ventilation from two sides. Several St. Regis single spout packers with local exhaust systems were also used at this facility. All exhaust ducts connected to a large Kirk and Blum dry bag collector located adjacent to the building. Some molding and casting work was done at this facility, but no particularly significant health hazard controls were noted for this process. The product line included bricks, patches, ramming mixes, cements, castables, plastics, and miscellaneous items. Plaster of paris and thermo setting plastics were used as mold materials. Slip mixes involved a wide range of chemical compounds. Plans have been made to conduct a walk through preliminary type survey of this location at a later date. An in depth assessment of portions of this facility and operations may be decided upon at that time.

When I first discovered kundalini yoga I had no idea about kundalini energy, chakras or the aura. I had read books on chakras before but had never really taken them in.
Even in the first couple of years of practicing kundalini yoga, I never concerned myself too much with the chakras. I gradually became aware of this concept of kundalini energy, that I had a dormant spiritual energy inside of myself that could be raised so I could reach my full potential. I didn’t really think too much about how that would happen – I just allowed myself to have my own experience in class.
The way I thought about it was – this makes me feel good. I’m going to continue doing it.
It was only really when I embarked on my teacher training that chakra + energy flow became a conscious part of my awareness. I had had the experience of a sense of energy rising up my spine during class – so when I read about it it didn’t feel alien or strange. I had also had the experience of unexpected emotions or sensations coming through in my practice. Deep anger, confusion or sadness. It felt like these emotions were blocking the flow of energy in my body + were being released.
I don’t think we need to worry too much about this flow of energy stuff. I think as a kundalini yoga student if you overthink your experience, you aren’t experiencing it. Kundalini is the yoga of awareness + experience, so if you aren’t allowing yourself to just have an experience – then you aren’t practicing kundalini yoga.
So my first tip to understanding + experiencing kundalini energy is to let go of the idea that you need to understand or experience it.
So take a moment to breathe deeply. As you exhale, let go of the idea that you need to understand or explain all things fully. Inhale your awareness + acceptance of where you are now. Exhale, let go of any expectations.
OK – now we’ve let go of the requirement for knowledge over having an experience – here’s how I understand the flow of kundalini energy.
Everything is the same. There is a universal energy. We are all made up of the same atoms, and as with the Big Bang – we were all once one. It’s when we access that connection to oneness that we can be our best selves. We can reach our highest consciousness.
We are made up of energy. Everybody has more potential than they realise. We have a reserve of energy that we can access when we need to – if we learn how. From a yogic perspective, this energy resides in the base of the spine. The practice of kundalini yoga by stimulating the navel and using the bandhas (locks) coaxes this energy up through a central column.
If the energy seems to get stuck or we experience an unexpected feeling or emotion, there’s likely a blockage or imbalance at that point that we need to address. We can do this by practicing specifica kriyas (yoga sets) or meditations to help create balance + remove those blocks. Chakras help us to understand the areas where blocks may arise + what they may be related to. They are not real, physical things. There are a way of looking at the body, mind + soul from an energy perspective.
If everything is in balance then the energy can rise up through the central column to the crown, where if we have done our work – our tenth gate (crown chakra) will be open. This allows us to go from the finite to the infinite. It allows us to connect our individual oneness to the Oneness of the universe. It allows us to go back home – to when we were + always have been one with everything.
The energy doesn’t just disappear, but flows back down to the base of the spine. Continuous activation of the kundalini energy by regular practice of kundalini yoga + meditation means there is a constant flow + constant release to allow a connection to the infinite. We become more aware + more connected to the universe.
We trust our intuition more, are more grounded + can develop an unswerving faith that everything will be alright.
Kundalini rising doesn’t happen in an unsafe or unhealthy way with kundalini yoga. The exercises are designed + given for specific lengths + in specific sequences to enable an appropriate rise of energy. If you hear of spontaneous kundalini rises which have been damaging to people – these are not done via kundalini yoga. So don’t worry. Follow the instructions of your teacher or the kriya has given + you are practicing yoga to bring you into awareness + experience deep joy. Kundalini yoga is a systematic + safe way to access your inner potential.
So this is how I understand raising kundalini energy. But I don’t worry too much about it if it doesn’t always make sense to me.
When I practice I just let it go + have my own experience.
Love + Light,

Segmentation is the umbrella term given to subdividing a larger email list into sub-lists based on shared characteristics or qualities.
The purpose of segmentation is to personalize and customize the messages to make it more relevent to specific groups of people.
A study by Mailchimp suggests that segmented campaigns perform significantly better than the non-segmented ones.
Overall, segmenting may also have a positive impact on the email reputation which may improve deliverability.
There are a variety of ways an email list could be segmented, e.g. geographic location, age, gender, expressed interests and purchase history etc.

Chicago would fail standards for smog-forming gases
Chicago is the only U.S. metro area that would fail to meet a tougher standard for smog-forming nitrogen oxides proposed Monday by the Obama administration.
The more stringent limit is intended to help protect people who suffer from asthma and other respiratory ailments. But Illinois officials contend they won't be able to do much about it without cleaner cars and diesel trucks, two major sources that are regulated by the federal government, not the states.
Health and environmental groups, meanwhile, groused that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency should have imposed an even tougher limit on nitrogen oxides, based on the latest science about health risks posed by breathing the noxious pollution. States would have more than a decade to comply with the limit.
Setting a different standard, closer to the lower end of a range recommended by the EPA's scientific advisers, would have affected dozens of other cities plagued by dirty air, including Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Phoenix and Denver.
Nitrogen oxides from tailpipes, factories and coal-fired power plants are key ingredients in lung-damaging smog, which is a chronic problem in Chicago and other urban areas on hot, sunny days. The EPA's new standard of 100 parts per billion, measured every hour, is intended to reduce short-term exposures that can trigger asthma attacks.
Chicago averaged 116 parts per billion between 2006 and 2008, according to the EPA. The next highest urban area was San Diego at 87 parts per billion, followed by Los Angeles at 84 parts per billion.
"We're moving into the clean, sustainable economy of the 21st century, defined by expanded innovation, stronger pollution standards and healthier communities," said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, announcing the latest in a series of regulatory changes that reflect growing understanding about the health threats posed by dirty air.
By most measures, Chicago typically has some of the nation's dirtiest air. But the region generally is considered slightly cleaner than other major metropolitan areas.
Laurel Kroack, chief of the Illinois EPA's air bureau, attributed the Chicago area's high level of nitrogen oxides to the location of the city's nitrogen oxide monitor: atop a Loop office building near the traffic-clogged interchange between the Eisenhower and Kennedy expressways.
"It's very congested there, with a steady stream of cars and trucks," Kroack said. "It's very difficult for us to do anything about that."

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
I Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
Can I just be real with you guys today? When I had Finn, I had certain expectations for what life with a newborn would be like. And in my defense, I only had them because everyone I knew always made it seem so easy to adjust to sleepless nights, breastfeeding, round the clock diaper changes, and all the other things that a new baby entails. Perhaps it’s because people don’t want to ruin anything for you or put their negative experiences on new moms, but I kinda wish someone had prepared me to not have any expectations…at all. I think I would’ve enjoyed those early weeks and months with Finn a little more.
Instead, it felt like something was wrong with me. Like every other mother I knew was some sort of natural-born Earth mother who was just so in tune to their baby’s needs and had such an easy time breastfeeding and their baby slept through the night after 6 weeks. No pressure, right?
Only just recently has God placed mama-friends in my life who admit that they (like me) felt a little resentful of their baby for taking their sleep away or a little angry that people kept telling them breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt if you’re doing it right (guess what, it actually can) or so foggy that they don’t remember the first three months-1st year of their baby’s life other than the pictures and videos they took.
I was so apprehensive before Lydia arrived that I would struggle with the same feelings (as mentioned above) with her as I did with Finn. I didn’t want to squander away the early days wishing for the next stage (that was supposedly easier) to come and relieve me. I didn’t want to feel resentful about my lack of sleep. I also didn’t want to get so bogged down in all the difficult beginning things that I didn’t take time to enjoy Finn and Lydia just as they are now. So I prayed…and prayed and prayed that I would be more mature this time around. More receptive to being in the moment (even the rough ones). More relaxed about visitors bringing their germs to my baby (sorry, but not sorry, because I told you I was going to be real today). And, you know what, it worked about a week and a half before I had a breakdown. Mainly, because I was trying to do it on my own. Remember when I wrote about how the love a mother and child has is unnatural by the world’s standards?
I really thought that under my own power of will, I could handle all the hard things by myself without God’s help. Once I realized that’s what I was doing, I had to shift my whole way of thinking again because I cannot (really no one can) take care of two children under their own strength. Don’t get me wrong, I have lots of help from Ryan and other family members, but I’m talking about the things only I (the mama) can do for my kids. Only God can provide me with the patience and energy I require to help my kids grow to be who He’s created them to be. Only He can show me how to love them in the ways that speak to them most. Only He can show me how to tie their heart strings to mine. And that’s how I’ve found my joy this time around. Amidst the tireless demands of small children, the sleepless nights, the whining (mine and theirs), and all the other adjustments in this season of life, God has (and will) equip me to find joy in the little moments, patience in the stressful moments, and peace in the moments that are out of my control.
I only share any of this in hopes of encouraging new moms (whether you’ve just had your first or your seventh child) that you don’t have to do everything perfectly or even feel particularly happy about all the new tasks you take on as a mother, but you can rejoice in whatever your current circumstances are and know that the Lord will sustain you. Just as He is sustaining me.

The IDF has investigated 400 different complaints filed after Operation Cast
Lead in 2009 and questioned more than 600 officers and soldiers, 20 of them
under warning, according to statistics released to the public on
Out of the 400 complaints, 50 evolved into criminal
investigations – led by the Military Police – and three into indictments, most
recently in the case of two soldiers from the Givati Brigade who were convicted
last month of exceeding their authority by ordering a nine-year-old Palestinian
boy to open bags they suspected might be booby-trapped during the operation in
'Traitor' graffiti sprayed near Mandelblit's home
‘Ticking bomb’ terrorist killed in Gaza air strike
The IDF has come under heavy public criticism for pressing charges
against the two soldiers. On Wednesday the word “traitor” was found spray
painted on a wall outside the home of Military Advocate General (MAG)
Maj.-Gen. Avichai Mandelblit.
The IDF released the statistics
regarding its investigations on Wednesday as Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen.
Gabi Ashkenazi sent a letter to all IDF officers and soldiers explaining the
need for post-operation probes.
“It is the IDF’s legal and moral
obligation, as the military of a Jewish and democratic law-abiding state, to
check every claim of illegal activity by our people,” Ashkenazi wrote, “That is
what was done with regards to the hundreds of complaints that were filed against
our soldiers following Operation Cast Lead.” Ashkenazi conceded that the
preferable course of action would be through the chain of command within a unit.
But, he said, there were cases that required the involvement of the MAG’s
Ashkenazi rejected criticism leveled in recent weeks that the IDF
has taken the involvement of legal authorities in post-operation inquiries too
far, and that senior commanders were not being supportive of their subordinates
who came under investigation.
“I was not surprised that the vast majority
of the cases investigated were found to be baseless. The IDF operated in the
past and will operate in the future in accordance with the rule of law and the
value of human life even when fighting an enemy that shows contempt to all law
and moral norms,” he wrote.
“At the same time, we are not exempt from
decisive action in cases in which soldiers deviated from the norm and violated
military regulations and the IDF’s overall combat ethics.
“This is not
just an obligation but is also a top interest for every soldier and commander in
the IDF,” he concluded.

What does it really mean to be a Christian? In this study, Alistair identifies the essential elements of the believer’s life, starting first with conversion and then elaborating the manner in which believers are to act out their faith "To be a Christian," he says, "is to declare that Jesus is Lord. His Lordship affects both our minds - teaching us what to believe, as well as our morals - changing the way we live." While each follower of Christ has a unique calling, all Christians share the same fixed features of genuine faith.
The basic nature of the truths unpacked in this series should not be mistaken for elementariness. Far from being relevant to recent converts alone, these truths form the core of each stage of the believer’s life and apply equally to all Christians. Young believers and weathered saints alike will find Alistair’s examination of the "main things" of the Christian faith a useful and challenging way of assessing their experience

CHICAGO -- Funeral services for two Chicago police officers fatally struck by a commuter train are still pending.
Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tweeted Wednesday morning that, "funerals for Officers Gary and Marmolejo are being planned this morning as CPD teams work to extend our highest honors. Details are still not finalized and reports thus far are inaccurate."
5th District Officers Eduardo Marmolejo, 36, and Conrad Gary, 31, chased a shooting suspect onto train tracks on the Far South Side around 6 p.m. Monday, and were both hit by a passing NICTD-Indiana South Shore train near 103rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue.
Guglielmi said "very limited" video from a body camera one of the officers was wearing helped investigators piece together how the tragedy might have happened.
On the video, they "clearly acknowledge" a northbound train just before the southbound train hit them, Guglielmi said.
"They must have thought the sound they heard was the northbound train," he said. "They must have missed the sound of the train right behind them."
Between the sound of the first train and the fact that they were focused on finding a gunman, they were unable to move off the tracks.
"These brave young men were consumed with identifying a potential threat," Superintendent Eddie Johnson explained to reporters at a news conference late Monday night.
Chicago police tell WGN they are still coordinating funeral plans with the officers family members.
The man Mamolejo and Gary were pursuing was taken into custody by other officers a short time later, and a gun was recovered near where the officers were struck. Guglielmi said the man was being questioned and had not yet been charged with any crime.
The officers were assigned to the Calumet police district. Marmolejo, 36, had been a member of the department for 2 ½ years; Gary, 31, had been on the force for 18 months. Both were married with children. Marmolejo was the father of three children, one in high school and two younger children; Gary had a 6-month-old daughter.
Four Chicago police officers now have been killed in the line of duty this year.

Qatar Starts receiving ordered Eurofighter Typhoons in August
In an interview in London, he stressed that Qatar's ambitions were met with Britain's ambition to build a balanced power between land, sea and air.
In addition to weapons system interoperability, Qatar will receive a transfer of knowledge in operating Typhoon jets.
"The RAF's 11th Typhoon Squadron is a way to transfer knowledge to our closest friends and train their future pilots," Sampson said.
This aircraft made by the Eurofighter consortium has the ability to receive refuelling in the air, thereby increasing the range of combat operations.
In 2017, BAE Systems and Qatar signed a contract worth around £5 billion (6.7 billion USD) for 24 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets to replace its then inventory of Dassault Mirage 2000-5s.

My 2 eldest children could not be more different when it comes to School
Whereas Col doesn’t really enjoy putting pen to paper and much prefers a more physical learning experience, Bess is the opposite. Nothing makes her happier than when she has a pen in her hand or her nose in a book.
Both of these attitudes to learning come with their own issues. Col needs help to catch up with his peers sometimes and we constantly worry that Bess doesn’t have enough to challenge her and keep her interested in learning.
Learning At Home Is Important To Us
I believe that the best and most effective way to educate children is by parents taking an interest. That’s not to say that I push for them to constantly be doing homework – quite the opposite in fact. If you don’t know what your child is doing at school then how can you help? This was the reason I wanted to try Education Quizzes. It seems logical to me that using technology, play and my childrens ingrained competitive streak will turn a dull bit of homework into something more!
The website is colourful, it’s clear and to be honest it’s pretty useful! I was expecting there to be a good range of quizzes (which there are) but there are also other features.
Parent 999 is an area of the site I like especially. It is there for us parents to clue ourselves up on all kinds of subjects from understanding what your child is learning at school to how to speak to teachers.
I really like that the quizzes for children are written by teachers and couldn’t wait for one of my little darlings to have a go!
Bess is moving onto Secondary school this year. She was more than happy to look at the 11 plus area of the website.
After playing with the quizzes for pupils over the course of a week, she found the questions to be clear and said that the quiz did feel relevant to her school learning which is great! I can see that the Education Quizzes would be accessible to all ability levels. The cost to subscribe is £9.95 per month and for such an awesome amount of learning aid this seems to be a great price!
I really like that the quizzes are bitesize. Each subject has 10 questions which feels more than manageable and I found that it made Bess want to go ahead and complete more quizzes.
As much as we loved using the site at home I couldn’t help thinking what a great resource this could be for schools. The Education Quizzes schools programme offers an exclusive pricing structure and I think it would a great addition to any school.
I felt as though Bess benefitted from using Education Quizzes and most importantly, she had fun! We would definitely consider using the service in the future as I really believe it could add to her learning experience long term. Especially as she approaches the dreaded GCSE’s…

Make sure that if you’re planning to put the dumpster on the street, the company has made the appropriate arrangements. You should also ensure that you get the permit in a timely manner and at the correct cost. If you thought the dumpster company was getting a permit and they did not, you will be the one who will have to pay the fine that is issued by the authorities.

Much has been made over the past several days about the fact that the Buffalo Bills are meeting with the agent for impending free agent wide receiver Stevie Johnson today at the 2012 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. GM Buddy Nix would like you, Bills fans, to know that Johnson is one of only five free agents with which the team will be attempting to make negotiation headway with this weekend.
Nix told reporters Friday that the Bills will also be meeting with the agents for tight end Scott Chandler, offensive tackle Demetrius Bell, linebacker Kirk Morrison and safety Bryan Scott in Indianapolis.
That makes a total of five players that the Bills are attempting to re-sign - and that's just the list they've disclosed. None of the five are particularly surprising; with the exception of Morrison - who may very well be a starting linebacker next year if he's retained - all of Johnson, Chandler, Bell and Scott had significant roles with the team a year ago.
Clearly, Johnson is the priority right now for Bills fans, but the organization is apparently busy trying to retain many more players than simply the team's most popular figure.

By Laurent Cambon, Current MBA Student, and Mathieu François, Graduating Class of 2011.
In a very diverse MBA class, it is inevitable we get exposed to the richness of culture and gustatory delights of the countries represented. So, two of us from France started the Wine Appreciation Club to share a common, yet very important part of our culture – Wines. I have always been passionate about food and wines. To me, they are integral components of that which we consider French culture. Nearly all the 22 regions of France produce their own wines, each of which were developed to match the region’s cuisine. “If I have to choose wine according to conventional wisdom, I would opt for a very famous wine like Romanée-Conti from Bourgogne. But I prefer to answer based on my personal feelings. I have family roots in the South of France. So, each time I appreciate a Châteauneuf-du-pape, many memories and sensations from this region come to my mind, especially when I was a child. To be more specific, Château Mont-redon is certainly one of the best from this Côtes-du-rhône category,” adds by my co-initiator, Mathieu. This diversity of wines contributes invariably to the richness of French culture.
In Singapore, wines are just aplenty and you can get them easily- in groceries, or wine depots, to shopping malls, to even convenience stores available 24 hours. And the variety is just really great- coming from all the wine producing countries, including the best wine producer – France, of course.
The Wine Appreciation Club was set up with the aim of extending our passion for wines to other MBA students. Some of the initiatives of the Club include helping students identify the type of wines they already appreciate, introducing them to new wines, and inviting them to wine tasting processes that would enable them to appreciate wines better.
Sessions were not complete without food – we paired whites, reds and ‘bubbly’ or champagnes with food. Surely, members of the club, both the new and seasoned ones, took pleasure in every session in the appreciation of wine.
Even though Wine Tasting is not a course in the MBA curriculum, we believe that it would serve as a complementary component in the life of an MBA student, who will soon be actively engaged in business dinners or in social gatherings. We hope to see this club continue in the new academic year.
Our first event – Wine Appreciation-White Wines, attracted 14 wine lovers, curious souls and converts.
And as a last hurrah to end T3 (and for some of us in the NANYANG-WASEDA Program who graduated recently in July), we had a special guest in our Champagnes session, which made the session more delightful – our ‘unofficial’ mascot.

Has anyone come across one of these in person? I've seen it on a few websites but I haven't found any reviews on the knife. The profile seems a little different then the Classic Wusthof, less belly, but I can't tell for sure. Also, I read somewhere that it's sharpened to 10 degrees, much more acute then even the PEtec Wuthofs, which I am assuming is because of the carbon steel. I've always preferred a French/Japanese style knife but being German I have respected the Wusthof reputation, might this be the best of both worlds?

Allen will guide you through the process of preparing your digital images, transforming your collected natural materials into pigment, and finally developing the prints. In addition to learning how to create images using these alternative processes, you will also engage in discussions about what place means in your artistic practice.

Sir Iqbal Sacranie has complained about the Panorama special
The Muslim Council of Britain has launched a new attack on Panorama, labelling the programme "deeply unfair".
The Panorama Special - called A Question of Leadership and broadcast on Sunday - asked whether the MCB should provide a stronger lead to UK Muslims.
The reporter, John Ware, also investigated whether groups affiliated to the MCB were peddling hard-line views.
MCB Secretary General Sir Iqbal Sacranie attacked the programme before it was shown and sent a complaint to BBC Director General Mark Thompson, accusing it of following a pro-Israeli agenda.
Now the programme has been broadcast, Sir Iqbal has reiterated his disappointment with the show.
He said: "We believe John Ware's team have made a deeply unfair programme using deliberately garbled quotes in an attempt to malign the Muslim Council of Britain and with the barely concealed goal of drawing British Muslims away from being inspired in their political beliefs and actions by the faith of Islam.
"It is unfortunate that just when Britain's 1.6 million Muslims are beginning
to make progress in terms of their political participation in the mainstream,
there are those who are purposefully trying to sabotage that process."
Panorama editor issued the following statement last week, explaining the reason for the move and challenging accusations that the show is one-sided:
After the bombing attacks on London, many within the Muslim community here in Britain announced that it was now important to deal head on with the issues that may have helped motivate young British Muslim men to attack their fellow citizens.
The questions which this Sunday's Panorama examines are being raised by members of the Muslim community themselves.
They raise issues about the direction and role of the Muslim Council of Britain, and the influences on the leadership of the organisation and its affiliates.
Despite some critical comments to the contrary, it is certainly not the case that nearly all the questioning of Sir Iqbal Sacranie was about Israel.
In a wide-ranging interview with Sir Iqbal, the Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, the discussion ranged from his views on the efforts to deal with extremism in some young British Muslims to the Regents Park mosque declaration.
The interview also dealt with aspects of the rhetoric of MCB affiliates and the relationship between religion and politics, as well as dealing with direct questions about suicide attacks and Sir Iqbal's views on the targeting of civilians around the world, including in Israel.
The decision to reschedule the programme and the rebilling of John Ware's Panorama on British Muslims took place some days prior to the BBC's receipt of a letter of complaint from the Muslim Council of Britain.
The programme was moved on a week to allow the production team time to complete the programme, which is now an hour-long special.
The BBC rejects completely any allegation of institutional or programme bias.
Panorama is committed to independent journalistic inquiry and completely rejects the slur that it follows an agenda determined by any interest group.
I believe that a fair-minded view of Panorama's reporting over many years would support the approach that I have described.
Next Sunday's edition will remain true to the BBC hallmark of fair and impartial reporting and we are confident that it will be a timely contribution to the present debate.
Audiences both praised and criticised the show
Audience reaction to the show has been mixed.
More than 640 people have contacted the BBC to complain that the programme portrayed Muslims and the Islamic faith in a negative light.
However, nearly 100 people have been in touch to say the programme was excellent and NewsWatch has received emails praising the show.
Alana Lewis wrote: "I despise the BNP and racism - but I do understand how radical Islam thinks and works and believe that the programme was accurate, based on many conversations that I've had in recent years with young Muslims.
"Well done! Unless these issues are properly aired then we'll all get what we deserve. There should be no room for appeasement of fanatics."
But there have also been emails dismissing the programme.
Abu Mu'min accused the BBC of "Muslim bashing", adding: "I watched Panorama with complete disgust. I think your program will only help promote further racist and Islamaphobic attacks in the UK."

I haven't posted in a while on here. It has been pretty busy though. I'll try to run through some stuff in order for anyone that reads this.
Slowly working on that fractal puzzle in Puzzle Arcade. It's just going to take time to finish.
I finally finished off Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 DLC. Was excited about those. Hopefully that next DLC will not have achievements attached onto it.
Bought Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. Watched my 2 daughters run through the game and played it some myself until the 1st run through was done. I did a little more work after that and got all the achievements I could before the next part of grinding out to find everything has to be done for the rest. I'll go back to that sometime soon.
I finished the Kinectimals game but not until I had to replay the entire game again because I missed a story based achievement that isn't supposed to be missable. My luck prevails yet again. Check over at TA for my review on how not to miss the achievement for unlocking all the maps.
So traded that in and got Fantastic Pets for the kids. I played through the first part just to get everything setup. The response is nothing close to Kinectimals. This game is going to get boring fast. I'll keep it for a little bit but if the kids don't keep interest. I'll be looking to get rid of this sooner than later and get the Kinect racing game. At least that one they can play at the same time.
My birthday came and my wife bought me Bulletstorm. I've read and heard nothing but good things about this game. Well, I'm one of them now. I just wish they wouldn't have put all the cussing in the game. I can't really play it around my kids with all the bad language. So forced to play it at night. The campaign was good and I still have a bunch of stuff to wrap up in it, especially skillshots. Echo mode is like Special Ops in MW2. The multiplayer is like Horde mode in GOW2 except you need so many points to get to the next wave. Three things I really enjoy (campaign, special ops, and horde) put all into one game. I'm enjoying all the modes through out so far. Definitely a game worth picking up to play. I highly recommended it.
After that, I found out my grandma wasn't going to make it much longer. It hit me really hard and for the next 10 days, I was pretty out of it. When she passed, went to SC and then Memorial Day weekend had started.
I am in on a Shadowrun boosting party now as well. I've had that game for a LONG time and I'm just now actually playing it to get points out of it. Just think, I got this game for $1.21 from Gamefly back when I used the service.
I can't believe I've started up 3 new games here recently. It's killed my finish old games I have this year and dropped my percentage down a ton. At least when all these 4 are finished, I know I'll be back up to the 90% range again for sure. At least I think that anyway.
I've already gotten the Fantastic Pets DLC that just came out. I hope the Bulletstorm DLC goes on sale so I can grab it cheaper before I finish the game so I can not buy it at full price to finish it off.
The final thing to add to this post is tomorrow makes 10 years of marriage. WOO HOO!!

Assembly Lines: Chrysler Plant Gets Complete Makeover. - Approximately 80 percent of the Brampton facility was overhauled. We viewed this project as a complete makeoverbuilding a new plant environment within existing walls rather than a facelift or typical model changeover, says Tom LaSorta, executive vice president of manufacturing for DaimlerChrysler. The transformation took about 6 weeks. During that time, construction crews expanded the trim, chassis and final assembly areas by approximately 25, 000 square feet.
Plantassembly Based on our experience and in order to provide a better service to our customers, we make extensive use of the most modern computer aided design CAD systems and we undertake complete turnkey projects, under all aspects of the contract, entirely in house. - To improve the quality of our equipment and to reduce the site assembly time and commissioning period, we carry out a complete pre-assembly and a plant testing in our workshops.

Trying to figure out what others expect of you is exhausting. I ask myself almost every day, “How can I possibly live up to that?” My answer is simple…I can’t. So what do I do? Well, first I need to know what you want from me. And by the way, the phrase “you should know,” is the most frustrating one of all. How can I possibly know every flavor of ice cream and which one might be your favorite?
But I’m not really talking about ice cream, am I? No, I’m talking about life.
It could be writing a query letter, disciplining your children, washing a dish, following a grocery list, or even the way you relay information. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it won’t be enough. It won’t be the way someone wanted it done. People will be unsatisfied. It’s inevitable.
If you’re me, you find yourself struggling to please everyone. Rewriting your query a million times (and maybe it needed to be done, but maybe not). Dancing over eggshells to avoid confrontation because your parenting methods don’t meet with everyone’s approval. Washing dishes by hand before putting them in the machine to be sure they are clean. Going back to the store for the items you overlooked, because you didn’t think they were needed. Trying to explain yourself three different ways for every single topic to be sure you are understood. Taking steps to make every task is so much more difficult than it should be…just because someone else wanted it that way.
But today an old friend summed things up for me so perfectly that my frustration with the pressures of life suddenly faded away.
He said, simple is best.
And it’s true. Sometimes life isn’t a banana split with chocolate, strawberry and pineapple toppings all slathered in whipped cream and topped with a cherry. Sometimes life is just a chocolate and vanilla swirled cone.
Sometimes simple is best.
And sometimes we have to please ourselves first to be worth anything to those around us. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a plain old ice cream cone.
Sometimes it’s the very thing you needed.
Until the next time…I’ll be making a quick trip to Dairy Queen.

Your Turn: Oct. 6
: October 6, 2013 : Updated: October 6, 2013 12:00am
Re: “How sad,” Your Turn, Sept. 30:
Durand Waters is distressed that Brian Chasnoff “holds the opinion that he can go anywhere he wants, uninvited, record what is said and then report it... .” That's a pretty fair description of “the freedom of the press” specifically protected by the First Amendment.
As inconvenient as it may be for those who don't want to be publicly judged, or who would like to keep secret their political activities, it's the law. You don't have to let the reporter in, but you can't stop him from telling people that he was kept out.
My guess is that Mr. Chasnoff does indeed believe in something greater than himself — the right of the general public to be well-informed.
Voter ID excuses
Re: “Burdening voters,” Your Turn, Sept. 28:
Marcelino R. Gutierrez listed many reasons why obtaining a voter ID card was a burden, hardship, or impossibility for some citizens, such as being disabled or having no means of transportation or working many jobs and losing money if time off from work is taken.
How do these people survive? To serve in our military, you need an ID. To get a Social Security card, you need an ID. To get any legal wage earning job, to cash a check, rent a car, an apartment, fly on an airplane, apply for a credit card, you need an ID. So many things in everyday life require an ID.
As for getting to one of these rural DPS offices, wouldn't the same burdens, hardships or impossibilities apply to getting to the nearest polling place?
There is no one-fits-all for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and it looks pretty complicated — then I turned to your section on new car sales and was stunned by the million choices we have in this great country of ours.
Maybe, instead of the Olympic bronze-to-platinum price range with options, why not call it the much more familiar Ford-to-Cadillac price range with options.
In all the discussion about the drought and Texas water problems, there is no discussion of the massive use of fresh water by the highly active oil and gas drilling currently underway with “fracking” methods in Texas.
My understanding is that the first thing a driller does is to drill water wells on the site of the eventual petroleum drilling site. I have seen reports that water wells are running dry in the drilling regions. The local water table is soon depleted by active drilling fields. Why can't saltwater or gray water be used?
Short-term water management solutions are focused on conservation by farmers and city lawns, while the oil and gas industry gets a free pass for the cost of an area's water source and the cost of road damage from heavy equipment.
There is also considerable controversy over the fracking chemicals that risk corrupting pure water sources in the future.
Once the drilling is complete, the jobs and economic activity will vanish, leaving the taxpayers with the long-term cost of restoration. This does not seem fair or logical.
Texas needs a long-term water plan, but also a long term natural resources management plan. Oil, gas, water, and wildlife are all Texas' natural resources.
Spare the taxpayers
The outcome of the VIA Metropolitan streetcar project initiative is embarrassing and disappointing, representing the city's syndrome of chronic cronyism and undemocratic processes.
There are and always have been many unacknowledged detractors, also taxpayers, who had no say in the outcome. The initiative raises the specter of hidden incestuous agendas between the politicians supporting the system and the merchants and contractors who stand to benefit from it.
San Antonio needs an upgraded, modern and efficient transportation system that the entire population will benefit from, not a cute, antiquated project that we've already grown out of. The streetcar is a capacity limiting project, not a capacity-building one.
If the proponents want the streetcar project so badly, they should be required to ride it to work and back, exclusively, for all city business activities — or they can purchase their own streetcar/trolley system and spare the taxpayer's money for more inclusive and relevant projects.
The far right
Re: “Amazing feat, Your Turn, Sept. 28:
Someone at the Express-News needs to point out to Mr. Mueck that the shipwrecked Costa Concordia capsized on its starboard side. Starboard is the right side — not the left.
To further correct Mueck's analogy, yes there is hope for our federal government; but it is not coming from the far right.
Re: “Power of voting,” Your Turn, Sept. 27:
I am not sure that Ms. Shinn is aware of the fact that the Navy Yard shooter did not have an “assault weapon with large capacity magazine.”
Aaron Alexis had a pump shotgun, which has been around since 1893, barely before the first semi-automatic pistols in 1896. When the Constitution and Bill of Rights were written, everyone had the same weapons — in the militia (every able-bodied man) and in the military.
This is not true today. What private citizens are able to own today is very meager compared to the military and police.
People like to point out that “the Founding Fathers could never have envisioned what we have today” — that might be true, but by that logic, the First Amendment shouldn't apply to television or the Internet. I personally don't trust the government.
Look at the FBI crime stats and you will clearly see that more guns in law-abiding hands means less crime and bloodshed.

Confit de Canard
- 2 duck legs and 2 breasts If using a whole duck, save carcasses for Orange Reduction. See recipe below
- 6 garlic cloves
- 8 cups of rendered duck fat
- kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground allspice
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp finely crumbled dried thyme
- 1 Turkish bay leaf finely crumbled
For the Orange Reduction
- 1 duck carcass
- Caramel made from made with 4 oz of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water brought to a boil
- 2 oranges
Mix all the spices together and sprinkle them evenly over the legs and breast. Lightly coat legs and breast all over with kosher salt. Set them in a flat, glass baking dish with the garlic cloves, cover with plastic wrap, and cure them in the refrigerator for 36 hours.
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Drain and discard all the liquid from the baking dish. Remove from baking dish all duck meat and garlic cloves and pat dry. Clean baking dish. Return the legs and garlic to the dish and cover with the duck fat. Bake until the garlic cloves have turned a deep golden color, which will take 2 to 2-½ hours. Let the meat cool in the fat until it can safely be transferred to a large canning jar. Strain the fat through a cheese cloth and pour enough over the meat to cover it by at least an inch. Allow to cool completely and then store as is in the refrigerator, sealed under the duck fat for at least 24 hours.
Remove the cold duck fat from the breast and legs by scraping off excess. Place on a baking sheet and roast in oven for 10 minutes till the skin is brown and crispy.
For the Orange Reduction:
Roast duck carcass in 300°F oven for 30 minutes. Remove carcass and place in large pot with cold water until body is fully submerged. Let boil for 2 hours. Remove all solid items and discard. I like to use a chinoise which is a conical strainer used for making perfectly smooth soups and sauces. Once you have your clean duck stock, pour into a sauce pan, add caramel and juice of 2 oranges. Reduce till you get a thick consistency. If you would like a thicker consistency, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch diluted with ½ teaspoon of water and then bring back up to boil.

General Facts and Figures
- Name: Paula Dietz
- Net Worth: $40,000
- Occupation: Former Bookkeeper
- Date of Birth: May 5, 1948
- Place of Birth: Park City, Kansas
- Zodiac: Taurus
- Spouse: Divorced with Dennis Rader
Bio and Education
Born in May 1948 in Park City, Kansas, Paula Fietz is one of the oldest yet most widely known bookkeepers in the US. She grew up in a spiritual family and a typical setup. Apart from that, little is known about her family background, education, and developmental years.
Life in the Limelight
Paula Dietz married Dennis Rader in May 1971. At this time, Rader was schooling and working at Leekers IGA Supermarket. He had just finished serving in the US Army, where he worked between 1966 and 1970. This couple got blessed with two children, Brian and Kerri.
Between 1974 and 1988, her husband worked with ADT Security Services, which meant that he would help install security cameras across various homes. Unknown to many, it was an opportunity for Rader to scout for victims to kills. Since he was serving as the president of the local Lutheran church congregation, it was easy for him to disguise himself.
Rader embraced the nickname BTK Strangler, which stood for bind, torture, and kill. He then went on a killing spree right from 1974. Usually, he would detail how he was to kill his victims and even kept several mementos. Besides that, Rader wrote to the police to highlight how he killed his victims. It was not until 2005 that the law caught up with him. Dietz divorced him shortly after.
Paula has an approximated net fortune of $40,000. Her primary source of income was bookkeeping.

Who’s smarter, God or Darwin?September 4, 2007 — Deacon Duncan
Over at ScienceBlogs, the topic of “framing” has come up again (and again). I generally agree with Rosenhouse: for science to make peace with irrational superstition so that the two can live side by side in the same society is like the sheep making peace with the wolves so the pack and the flock can mingle. It may cut down on the running around in the short term, but it’s unlikely to be beneficial in the long run (i.e. in however long it takes the wolves to get hungry again). The task of understanding how the world really is, and denial that the world can differ in any way from the dogmatic pronouncements of the Bronze Age, are two fundamentally incompatible things.
However, in the spirit of a good challenge, I’d like to propose a new “frame” for presenting evolution to the creationism-minded. It goes like this: Who is smarter, God or Darwin? If Charles Darwin is smart enough to think up a biological system that would allow life to adapt to changing environments, and to recover from extinctions and other catastrophes, and to flourish in many creative and diverse ways most wonderful, then do you think a divine Creator would be clever enough to come up with a system that was as well-thought-out as Darwin’s?
Most creationists, in practice, have a fairly low opinion of God’s intellectual capacity. Sure, in theory they’ll refer to God as being infinitely wise and omniscient. But in practice they’re pretty sure that if they can’t understand how evolution could produce something like a flagellum, then God couldn’t figure it out either. God is smart enough to create the laws of nature, but He’s only smart enough to produce a fairly unsophisticated set of laws whose workings are so trivial that anyone can easily deduce, using only common sense and intuition, exactly what nature can and cannot accomplish.
The evolutionist, however, has a much higher opinion of the level of elegance and sophistication we find in the natural world, which would imply a much higher level of sophistication and intelligence in its Creator (assuming it had a Creator). Evolution accomplishes an amazing amount of conservation and creation, and does it using relatively simple basic mechanisms that have unexpectedly subtle and intricate interactions. To give God credit for such an ingenious piece of engineering would be to praise Him highly. Too highly, it seems, for the comfort of creationists.
Creationists don’t want to give God any of the credit for evolution. God didn’t invent it. God didn’t think it up. And He certainly didn’t inspire Darwin, and Darwin’s successors, to discover it. Which means that Darwin and company came up with this demonstrably superior system on their own, without God’s help! So again I put it to you: who is smarter, God or Darwin? Darwin described a system that was self-adapting, self-extending, and self-maintaining, that needs no external tweaking or repair, and no fuel source (other than readily available energy from the sun). The creationist’s system, by contrast, is designed to be unable to adapt beyond certain fixed limits, and to require extensive manual intervention to produce each new kind of organism. Contrary to Genesis 1, it’s just not very good, at least compared to Darwin’s system.
And remember: creationism, with its painfully low opinion of God’s design skills, is a human interpretation of the Bible, with a tradition less than 200 years old. The Bible does not say that the characteristics of a “kind” are fixed and cannot change over time. It says that creatures reproduce “according to their kind,” but then evolution says the same thing.
Uninspired men (creationists) have taken a verse about organisms producing offspring of the same kind (which is a process that evolution also teaches), and have claimed, without justification, that this means the characteristics of a kind are limited in some way, and cannot change over time. In other words, based on a verse that says nothing at all about whether kinds can change to adapt to changing conditions, uninspired creationists have claimed that God designed life on earth to be less sophisticated and less intelligently designed than what you would have in the system Darwin and other scientists have come up with.
So who is right? Does the evidence support the scientists’ conclusion that nature is remarkably sophisticated and capable of amazing and even baffling feats? Or does it support the creationists’ implication that God isn’t as clever as Darwin and Dawkins and company?
We report, you decide.
