Wildly popular among iPhone users, Apple’s voice-operated assistant, Siri, is a fantastic avenue for mobile marketing especially for locally based businesses.
According to Search Engine Land editor Danny Sullivan, Siri most often references Yelp.com when returning local search results. So if you want to help ensure your business is found for local searches, make sure your Yelp listing is strong. This means you will need to pay closer attention to managing your online reputation.
Tips to help improve your Yelp (and thus, Siri) listing:
Include your complete physical address: street, city, state, and zip code (a PO Box will do you little good).
Include your complete phone number with area code.
Include your website, beginning with the https://www. so that it is easier for a smartphone to recognize the web address as a link and allow the user to click on it and be directed to your website.
Include a detailed list of your business hours.
Include any parking information (i.e. private lot, parking on the street, parking deck).
Include your business category. Like “restaurant” for example. This will help improve your chances of being found when someone asks Siri “Where is the nearest restaurant?”
Include reviews. Ask customers to leave you a review on Yelp. If they prefer not to use Yelp (because they don’t have a Yelp account, or don’t want to create one), the second best option is to ask if they can post a review on Google instead.

Having declared my wish to be appreciated as a whole person,1 I got a mix of replies – some testy, some curious – asking what personal ‘wholeness’ actually means. It’s a fair question. Referring to a ‘whole person’ certainly sounds a bit ‘arty’ – or, for more severe critics, dangerously ‘arty-farty’. The terminology, sometimes dignified as ‘holistic’, commonly appears in handbooks to alternative medicine, which may range from sound sense to the wilder shores of snake-oil healthcare. So … is being a whole person somehow a concept which is abstruse or ‘fringe’ – or perhaps simply redundant?
My answer is emphatically: No. Being understood as a whole person is a positive need, which is the quintessence of humanity. It expresses how individuals should properly relate together, both individually and collectively.
On the way to that conclusion, however, it’s necessary to accept the parallel need for generalisations, abstract statistics and collective identifications. For certain purposes, overviews are essential. When talking about global population pressures, it would take far, far too long to itemise and salute the full personality of every one of the 7.8 billion living individuals who inhabit Planet Earth, according to the latest estimates for December 2020.2
To take but one example of collective analysis, many medical research programmes work by investigating generic patterns among thousands of case-histories. In that way, linkages between genetic heritage and specific maladies can be tested – and at times proven or (bearing in mind the role of trial and error) at other times refuted. Similarly, treatments and palliatives can be assessed by group trials. My own gluten allergy, known as coeliac disease (sometimes spelt as ‘celiac’), turns out to be partially, though not automatically, heritable.3 When I first got that information, years ago, I checked my family history and worked out, from corroborative evidence, that the weak link was being transmitted via my father’s mother’s branch. I then conveyed the news to every relevant relative, to much initial bemusement and some derision. Over the years, however, as many siblings and cousins have been diagnosed as coeliacs, they universally tell me that they are glad to be forewarned. It’s an excellent example of how aggregative analysis can help individual understanding.
There are also countless other instances. Targeted advertising works by identifying people with specific consumer profiles. So does political blitzing. In some cases, such as social class, the personal identifications are usually (though not invariably) made by others. But in other circumstances, individuals are invited to classify themselves. On bureaucratic forms, for example, there are often questions about age, gender; ethnic identification; religion; or any combination of those factors.
It’s true that responding truthfully can be tricky, if people don’t accept the options provided. Traditionally, British army recruits who self-defined as ‘atheists’ or ‘agnostics’ were entered as members of the established Anglican church, because there was then no space on the form for non-believers. But, for many purposes, the people, who are processing the data, want broad aggregates, not individual vagaries. They don’t mind a few exceptions and mistaken classifications. And often big, general groupings will suffice – though not for projects attempting to make fine-grained investigations into (say) people’s real religious beliefs, which furthermore may fluctuate during a lifetime.
The upshot is that, for some – even for many – purposes, individuals are statistics. However, just as it is often necessary to generalise, so at other times it’s crucial to go beyond generic categories and impersonal labels to encounter living humans, in all their often glorious and sometimes maddening diversity.
In medical treatment, for example (as opposed to aggregative medical research), there is now a simmering debate about the need for holistic medicine.4 That approach entails understanding the mix of mental and physical factors in human wellbeing. It moves beyond concentrating simply on the immediate cause of any malaise; and asks about the cause of the cause (or, in other words, the underlying root cause). In the case of undiagnosed coeliacs, they suffer from disturbed guts, aching bones, exhaustion and (often) depression. Yet they don’t need a soothing bromide. They need a biopsy or blood-test to get a full medical diagnosis and help in adopting a gluten-free diet.
Taking a holistic approach also means that clinicians should ensure that their own practices are humanised. In other words, the prevalent medical system should not make doctors unhappy, as they strive to heal their patients.5 Other areas where holistic approaches are actively proposed include many forms of therapy and social care.6 Help for people with mental health issues is also claimed to benefit from a whole-person approach7 – rather than just palliative medication. And similar hopes apply to assistance for individuals recovering from trauma.8 Indeed, ‘holistic’ interventions are credited with improvements in many diverse fields: from sports coaching;9 to sexual therapies;10 to business management;11 right through to cyber-security.12
Needless to say, invoking the concept of ‘holism’ doesn’t guarantee its effective use. Nonetheless, these usages indicate an interest in considering issues ‘in the round’. Picking on just one symptom; one solution; one approach; is unhelpful when dealing with the greatest intricacies of life. Practical people will snort that it’s best, at least, to get on with one big remedy, without having to wait to figure out the whole. But single interventions so often have unintended consequences, unless the big picture has been properly configured and understood.
Above all, it’s in child-rearing and education where it’s particularly crucial to assist all individuals to develop as a whole and rounded people.13 No-one should be pre-categorised by prior labels. And especially not so, if the labels carry pejorative meanings. No children should be simply dismissed or excluded as ‘difficult’. Such terminology makes tricky situations worse.14 (And equally children can also be over-praised, giving them a false impression of the world and their own abilities).
Being typecast negatively is particularly damaging. For example, women often used to be dismissed as ‘feather-brained’ air-heads. As a result, many did not trouble to activate their talents, especially in public view. Worse too, some clever women used voluntarily to play the game of ‘Oh it’s only silly little me!’ Then later, when, they wanted to be taken seriously, they found that they were trapped in the role of ‘dumb bimbos’. Their subsequent struggles to break free often proved to be very destructive – breaking up family relationships, which were founded upon false identities.
Quite a few people do, in practice, manage either to avoid or to ignore being stereotyped. But no youngsters should have to face being typecast, whether by gender, sexual preferences, ethnic heritage, religion, accent, appearance, social class, bodily abilities/disabilities. or any other category that humans can invoke.
Instead, all should, from very young, have a chance to develop their personalities and talents to the full. They should be not only properly fed but also warmly loved, to give them inner confidence. They should be given reasonable framework rules, but also great encouragement to innovate. Every person should also have a chance, when young, to explore the entire range of special human skills: including not only literacy and numeracy but also art, chess, drama, handicrafts, music, riding, all forms of sport and swimming. (And please add any skills that I have temporarily overlooked). Not that everyone will become a superstar. That’s not the point. It is that all should have a chance to find and develop their talents to the full – to have a lifetime of nurtured learning to become rounded and fulfilled personalities.
Needless to say, such a humanist project is expensive in terms of human labour and money. Classes should be small; and individual attention paid to each learner.15 But, from another point of view, the costs can be justified on many grounds – not least by providing work for people whose jobs have been automated. Education for the ‘whole person’ should not be an optional extra. Instead, it’s a supreme economic as well as social, political and cultural good.
Planet Earth does not need ‘partial’ and undeveloped minds and bodies. It needs the fully-charged brain-power and person-power of 7.8 billion people. There are enough global problems, many of our own making, for us all to resolve.
To repeat, the aim is not to turn everyone into a prize-winner. But behind every summary statistic, there should be a human being who is supremely well in mind and body: in other words, a whole person. Effective knowledge entails both aggregation/generalisation and disaggregation/particularisation. One early reader of this BLOG sniffed that this line of argument is indeed ‘very arty-farty’. Yet enlightened scientists are today calling for a rounded education, adding balance and creativity from the Arts and Humanities to the necessary scientific specialisation and technical knowhow.16 To live well and to safeguard Planet Earth, humans need to be not arty-farty – but really arty-smarty.

Continuing through August 20, 2017
Betye Saar's current exhibition, “Keepin' it Clean,” is as intriguing as the artist herself, a charismatic 91-year old woman of multiple backgrounds — African American, American Indian, and Irish. Its centerpiece is 24 washboard assemblage sculptures. Apart from the politically and socially relevant theme, the show works aesthetically. Saar often works with colorfully painted wood, sometimes mixed with metal. Her reds range from maroon to burgundy, which elegantly blends in with the gray walls of the museum space. However, the further you immerse yourself into her subject matter, the more you feel the historical pain that informs the work.
“A Loss of Innocence" (1998), a mixed media tableau, presents a beautiful beige vintage dress on a hanger floating so as to cast shadows on the wall. Looking closer, we see various labels stitched onto the dress. Some read “tar baby”, suggesting the verbal and sexual abuse of African American slave women at the hands of their masters. “Liberation” (2011) and “Extreme Times Call For Extreme Heroines”(2017) evolved from a much earlier work, “The Liberation of Aunt Jemima” (1972), portraying a beweaponed female African American servant in the process of liberating herself. These works strike a contrast to “Dark Times” (2015), in which Saar portrays a rather discouraged looking black man positioned in a corner, referencing the recent police killings of unarmed black men that sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. The exhibit succeeds aesthetically and rhetorically as a call for equality and social justice.

On the weekend of January 22-24, 2010, the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (PSPF) honored architect Donald Wexler with three days of home tours, lectures, and a party celebrating Wexler’s 84th birthday. Nine homes in El Rancho Vista Estates were featured on the very popular home tour, as they were designed by the firm of Wexler & (Ric) Harrison.
PSPF Board Member Patrick McGrew authored the tribute journal “Donald Wexler: Architect”, which detailed Wexler’s illustrious career. Below is an excerpt from the journal documenting the history of El Rancho Vista Estates.
El Rancho Vista Estates (1960, Wexler & Harrison)
El Rancho Vista Estates was the first of the Wexler & Harrison residential subdivisions. Developer Roy Fey, a former Chicago accountant who came to the desert and developed a small real estate empire, built it. He saw the potential Southern California Modernist architecture had in the emerging post-war housing market. His belief in the product led him to use the street name “East Avenida Fey Norte” to memorialize his involvement in the development – a not uncommon practice among residential developers. The development is a collection of approximately 75 single-family homes located northeast of the Palm Springs International Airport, accessed via Vista Chino.
Variations on several open plan layouts include flat roofs, butterfly roofs, and the down-turned eave, which became something of a signature in later Harrison projects. Other character-defining details include now-classic mid-century architectural elements like decorative concrete block walls and floor-to ceiling glass walls oriented to spectacular mountain views that enhance indoor / outdoor living. This early modernist tract has undergone a renaissance in recent years as the popularity of mid-century style s has returned. Harrison owned a home in the development at 1593 Avenida Robert Miguel – an unusual example of an architect living in a neighborhood completely designed by his firm.
Beginning in 2000, the husband-wife team of John Lewis and Jane Steichen-Lewis has bought renovated and resold more than twenty El Rancho Vista homes. They often live in the houses while working on them, and focus on the preservation of the original shapes and textures while incorporating a spare use of dramatic colors and natural desert landscaping.

Trying to decide if it’s time to trade in your current car for a new one can be a tough decision. There can sometimes be an attachment to your car that, well, might sway you to keep it when it really isn’t worth the money to repair it. Buying a used car is just one alternative to fixing up your current car but sometimes that can come with its own set of problems.
Here at Auto Tec we help take the doubt out of the equation. We can examine your car from top to bottom and figure out what is good about it and what is about to break. We can also tell you how long you should expect to have certain things last or wear out. Sure, you can find out this stuff on your own but do you really want to spend hours reading manuals?
We have years of auto car repair experience to rely on to give you real-world experience on your individual vehicle. We will be able to intelligently and objectively tell you if it’s worth keeping or not. We have great mechanics, problem-solving skills and up-to-date technology to help you come to the right decision.
In addition, we perform Safety Checks on any used car you are thinking of purchasing. We will be honest and forthcoming on any issues that we may find with the prospective vehicle and give you an honest opinion as to whether it’s a good “deal” or not for you.

Ubi Singapore's Jamie Stowe joins 22Cans
Assassin's Creed III naval battle technical director to work on crowdfunded Godus
The Ubisoft Singapore developer behind Assassin's Creed III's naval battles has jumped ship. According to a Develop report, Jamie Stowe has left Ubisoft to join Peter Molyneux's 22Cans in a technical director role.
At 22Cans, Stowe will be busy working on Godus, Molyneux's god game that drew more than £525,000 in funding on Kickstarter last year.
Stowe has been at Ubisoft Singapore since 2009 and was the technical director of level design on Assassin's Creed III's acclaimed naval battles, which established a template for this year's Caribbean-set Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. He also worked as on Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Prior to joining Ubisoft, he served as a level designer at Codemasters on Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

"I don't mind if my peas and my mashed potatoes touch each other," says Christine Bethea. She's talking about her art boutique, ARTica -- the kind of place where gallery-quality artwork is displayed alongside, as Bethea puts it, "junk and stuff and things." But her food metaphor is serendipitous.
Bethea marks the Friendship shop's first anniversary with a cooking-demonstration series. Mondays in October, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., $7 buys a class taught by a professional chef from the Penn Avenue corridor, plus food samples and a beverage.
Bethea is an artist and art teacher, best known for fiber-based works that explore the African-American experience. The ebullient Shadyside resident also organizes arts events: Her Passports Art Diversity program was one of three initiatives recognized for business and arts collaborations by the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council.
ARTica began with help from community-development group Friendship Development Associates. It was the perfect excuse for the Pittsburgh-born former Kaufmann's copywriter to indulge her passion for odds and ends.
The boutique stocks vintage electronics, clothing, handmade jewelry and more, from random 1940s family snapshots to acclaimed artist Vanessa German's wild found-object-adorned baby dolls. Bethea calls it "The Jerry Seinfeld of galleries -- it's a gallery about nothing."
One thing Bethea herself isn't: culinary. "I'm not a chef at all. I've always just been really fascinated with cooking shows.'' But from Lawrenceville to East Liberty, Penn Avenue's restaurant scene is blooming.
At ARTica, naturally, chefs will face some interesting challenges. "We're actually gonna put 'em in the window," says Bethea. The absence of cooking facilities in said storefront requires, in TV-chef talk, "a cold-cooking challenge." And it's one dish per chef.
Chef T.J., from nearby Z-Best BBQ, leads off Oct. 5 with an Autumn BBQ class. (He'll cheat some by grilling outside.)
On Oct. 12, the instructor is Steven Harlow, whose gigs include the vegan Starving Artist Sunday Supper, at Brillobox. He's tackling a misunderstood foodstuff.
"Everyone turns their nose up at tofu," says Harlow. "The thing with tofu is you have to marinate it correctly to incorporate flavor into it."
The trick involves freezing the marinaded 'fu. Harlow will show how with his roasted-shallot lemon vinaigrette, the tofu pan-seared and adorning a mesclun salad with caramelized onions.
The Oct. 19 and 26 chefs are yet to be determined. But they're also sure to demonstrate how, as Bethea says, "Cooking is an art form anyway."

DJ China L’One is founder and CEO of We Run The World, a female DJ agency.
In 2018, We Run The World Female DJ Agency was nominated for Business of the Year. China was also nominated for Business Woman of the Year.
In 2002, she received two awards – one from The Prince’s Trust, for work with youngsters in her local community and the other from The Royal Society Of Art Entrepreneur Awards.
China has achieved two BA degrees, in Media Arts and Music Technology. More recently, she became a published author – an Amazon e-book titled “You Are What You Think” – an inspirational collection of positive life-affirming statements.
Tell us a bit about yourself, background and your current role
I am an international female DJ, and the founder and owner of the first official global all female DJ agency in the world.
I was born in Sierra Leone and I came to London at the age of 13 years old to join my mum.
I am a huge fan of health and fitness and go to the gym five days a week. I also enjoy riding my bicycle during the summer. I am an avid reader of motivational books that channel my thoughts and ideas into positive action.
How did you fund your agency when you started?
As soon as I began working in 2010 I began to put ten per cent of my monthly income into an investment share account with Santander Bank. This was on the recommendation of one of my favourite motivational mentors. T Harv. Eker. I also bought shares in Tesco’s and other companies worldwide.
The savings built up and in 2012 when the recession hit in I took all of my money out, and cashed in on the shares, and the total investment produced just over £2000. This sum was sufficient to enable me to set up my own website and pay for marketing and promotional material. I registered the business, employed an Accountant and worked on designing a logo. The savings also covered the registration formalities and the production and design of flyers and leaflets. So all the savings were put to good use and the business got off the ground.
Did you ever sit down and plan your career?
I sit down and plan my career all the time. It is a habit with me to be honest – I find myself sitting down reviewing and reflecting on my career, how I can improve my business or diversify my career. These quiet times are when one can change things that don’t seem to be working. Nothing is constant; things change all the time. Of course, you cannot always know how your plans will work out, but unless you have a plan you will never find out anyway. You can always tweak your plans as you go along.
Have you faced any challenges along the way?
Sometimes, I have felt used, alone, and perhaps too open – and there have been occasions when I have been taken advantage of – I was quite young and innocent when I started. But I have never let anyone knock my confidence; I have always kept going and yes, I know I still need to be decisive and tough. I have needed to deal with people from different backgrounds and with different personalities – that has sometimes been a challenge for me.
If you could change one thing for women in the workplace, what would it be?
One thing I would introduce would be equal parity on salaries – equal pay for men and women doing the same job. That would be an amazing achievement in law. As a female DJ, I have come across many instances where a male DJ has been paid more than me at the same venue, where we both worked together. I find that hurtful, insulting and certainly unfair where a female DJ has her own brand of presentation and a certain flair and elegance to an occasion. I, myself, have been trained up in public speaking and have written and performed rap poetry. Equal pay for equal work!
What has been your biggest achievement to date?
The fact that my agency is now recognised worldwide. As an African, I am very proud to have my agency nominated for Business of the Year 2018. To have this recognition validates all the work I have put into promoting and establishing this DJ venture for females
What is your next challenge and what are you hoping to achieve in the future?
My next challenge is to really to expand the business, keep growing We Run The World. I want it to be household name. When someone says, “I’m looking for a female DJ”, I’d like the response to be automatic, that people will say “go to We Run The World Female DJ Agency”. That would be the dream outcome, a great achievement. We are slowly getting there.
In a wider sense, I’d like to be involved in the women’s movement to empower themselves in a man’s world – for women of all colours and different backgrounds to realise that they can do anything they put their minds to.
Being black and consistently breaking barriers is like shining a beacon for others – to be an ambassador for other coloured women who secretly might question themselves and say “Who am I, and why should people buy into me or believe in my dreams?”.
I would want to be part of the vanguard of women that says “You CAN achieve”– that women can approach me and see that if China L’One can come from war-torn Sierra Leone to the UK at 13, and achieve what she had with courage, vision and decisiveness, than I, along with others, would be proud to be a role-model, giving people the self-belief that things CAN happen for them too.
How do you balance your career and your personal life?
Unfortunately, I do not have a boyfriend at the moment. But if I did, I will definitely make time. I would love to have a family one day.
As with everything in life, you have to put in the time for it to work. So I will make time for a boyfriend if I have one.
My mum has been married to my step-dad for over 26 years – of course, its not perfect, but I would want that. It just having that support from another person, I believe it really does help a person in life. My mum always says to me, “no one is perfect, if you are waiting for Mr Perfect, you will be waiting for the rest of your life.”
Just pray for your partner, and never tried to change him, just pray for him.
What interests to you have outside of your work?
I love going to The Royal Opera House to watch opera ballet or opera musical.
What fashion interests do you have? Do you keep up with the latest fashion trends?
People tell me I am very stylish and fashionable in my appearance. I love wearing bright colours, pearls, hats. I do love to stand out when I am out. And I always do!
Have you written any songs/poetry/rap?
I use to be a poet in my youth. I have won Poetry competition during my study at Croydon College for Black History Month in 2003. The principal called me and asked me to perform the winning poem for Croydon College Graduation 2003, and I got to meet the MP of college and also got paid. My poems have being used as stretches for plays in Brixton Art Gallery in 2005 for young people. I have always perform at lots of Poetry Slam all over London in the early 2000’s.
I have also written several songs and raps. I have featured on an artist’s songs while at University, leading me performing live on Sky TV in 2005.
What are your favourite foods or places to eat?
I do not drink alcohol, it gives me headache – I have tried all wine as possible, it just don’t work for me.
Because of my health, I am extremely fussy about what I eat and I do not really go to restaurants. I enjoy cooking my own food. But if I do, it will have to be Indian restaurant – I love their spices and they have lots of vegetable choices.
Do you have any religious beliefs?
I am a Christian, I am both religious and spiritual. My mum is spiritual and reads lots of Christian author books, so I watch my mum reading spiritual books to help her grow.
My step dad’s family are super religious, my step father, father was a Church of England priest , so I grew up going to church every Sunday and learning bibles verse. To this day, I still go to church every Sunday, unless if I have to go to work. I am a Baptist, I love their disciplined as a Christian. It is more about you and God then anything else, which I love.

On exterior surfaces, such as EFIS and stucco, we perform a non-intrusive/non-destructive infrared examination of the exterior walls and eaves for areas of relative heating or cooling depending on time of day, season, or weather conditions. When conditions are favorable, thermal Imaging can show us anomalies in the system and potential areas for concern. Follow up with invasive testing is needed to further evaluate and confirm the presence of moisture and resulting damage.
With roofing systems we perform a non-intrusive/non-destructive infrared examination of roof coverings for relatively and unusually warm areas in the early evening after the roof surfaces have begun to cool. The perimeter of defect areas on flat roof surfaces is usually spray painted to show the section(s) to be repaired.
The Green Valley Group provides Infrared Moisture Testing as one of the many applications of infrared thermography. Infrared thermography can be used as a tool to noninvasively track and map moisture, whether that is a roof leak, a bathtub leak or a mystery leak. Infrared thermography also provides a non-destructive means of scanning for moisture, missing or wet insulation, leaks in flat roof systems, integrity of CMU or cement block wall construction and other building anomalies. Likewise, when the conditions are right, thermal imaging can be used as a tool to detect anomalies in a system and lead an inspector to areas for follow up that they would not typically gravitate toward testing. The information provided by this type of building survey can be the difference between major repairs or replacement, and surgical type repairs, making infrared surveys one of the most important and powerful tools in your budget-cutting arsenal.
Whether you need to restore property from moisture, mold, or fire damage, you know the value of having comprehensive and accurate information at your fingertips. Contractors and insurance companies need information fast to start claims work. You, our customer, need information so you can make accurate decisions and get your property restored correctly. Thermal Moisture Imaging can pinpoint water damage, by locating leaks in buildings, roofs, and heating loss from wet or deficient insulation. Infrared cameras allow us the ability to see and locate what the naked eye is unable to detect.
A thermal imager shows the Evaporative Moisture Cooling effect (EMC) that occurs when the studs, insulation and other interior wall components are damaged from water. Therefore, with an infrared camera, we can quickly and non-invasively zero in on the probable wet area. At that point, we check suspect location with a moisture meter to verify.
On Interior surfaces we perform a non-intrusive/non-destructive infrared examination of floors, walls, ceilings, cabinetry, and framing for areas of relative cooling that may indicate the presence of moisture.

By Anne Johnson
NEW YORK CITY – Late at night a man works diligently gluing a colorful poster on a wall between Chrystie and Delancey Street. On the poster a young woman is painted in graphic red and black. The man, artist Shepard Fairey, quickly smoothes out the surface of the poster to secure it to the brick wall behind.
Fairey is widely known for his recent portrait of President Barack Obama that now rests in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. As far as street artists go, Fairey is uncommonly successful. But he does represent a growing underground street artist population.
An increasing number of New York City artists are rejecting conventional gallery spaces and taking to the streets and subway stations in an attempt to confront people with their anti-consumerist messages. The point to all of this? To jar the viewer by threatening the boundaries of public and private space. To interject opinionated works of art into public environments and force people to look, question, and ultimately act out against the materialistic values.
One such artist is Henry Matyjewicz, who goes by Poster Boy. Wearing a mask to conceal his identity, Poster Boy slices and dices subway advertisements to create his own social commentaries with the scraps. An example of his work is a McDonald’s ad featuring Olympian Usain Bolt reworked to read “McDorse the world” portraying Bolt as Ronald McDonald with his signature red hair.
The key, according to artist Caledonia Curry, is to upset “the inertia of people’s passive acceptance of an environment.”
Curry, previously a student at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, dropped out to pursue street art. Like Poster Boy, Curry rebels against the cookie-cutter “packaged experience” found in gallery spaces. “So much of the work that I was seeing felt cold and distant and irrelevant,” explains Curry. “I wanted to make something which wasn’t an object and couldn’t belong to anyone.”
A common thread throughout the street art movement is this straight forward, in-your-face anti-consumerism. Graffiti artist Christian Paine said the message in his work is “to remember life is a joke and the punch line is you.”
Paine’s work, such as a portrait of a dog with the eulogy-like caption, “Susy was vindictive”, may not have a clear message, but that’s the point. There is a purposive missing link between the image and the viewer. The viewer is meant to feel like an outsider looking in on Paine’s work.
But with recent arrests of Poster Boy and Fairey, the distinguishing line between this new counter-culture art and outright vandalism grows thinner by the day.
With such unconventional, not to mention illegal, canvases, street artists risk several federal consequences in the name of art. The NYPD “Combating Graffiti” Handbook states, “Graffiti vandalism is a crime punishable by a jail term, monetary fine and/or community service.”
When asked why she would risk a federal conviction for the streets, Curry responded, “Being illegal it’s naturally unregulated and in that way supremely free . . . the only way to be truly free,” she continues, “is to be outside of the limitations of the law; outside of the laws of commerce as well.”
According to the NYPD, Curry and other artist’s ‘freedom’ resulted in a “nationwide epidemic costing billions of dollars each year”. In fact, in 1994 the NYPD created the Anti-Graffiti/City-Wide Vandals Task Force specifically to combat the growing portfolios of street and graffiti artists. (The Task Force declined an interview.)
Their mission states, “Task Force members are dispatched in plainclothes, across the city, to target the areas hardest hit by vandals.” The officers work to compile entries in their “Worst of the Worst” book that includes the worst offenders.
Recognition may be another reason artists are hitting the streets, although they may not admit it. Nancy Deihl, a professor in the Department of Art and Art Professions at New York University, points out, “with the enormous amount of coverage available to people who do any kind of interesting art, working in public is potentially an avenue to great recognition.” These artists build recognition without the need of acceptance from the art community.
Though, the art world is beginning to take notice. Galleries specifically dedicated to street art have sprung up worldwide. The Deitch Gallery in New York has shown multiple exhibitions by street artists including Caledonia (Swoon) Curry.
When asked if these exhibitions contradict the purpose of her street art, Curry claims, “I am still divided about it.” She goes on to explain that offering her work up for sale has allowed her to realize larger artistic goals and support herself in the process. “I’m happy,” she adds.
Another factor is the draw of the inevitable fatality. Fairey’s wheat-paste prints and Poster Boy’s mixed up advertisements, even graffiti will eventually be destroyed. “They are temporal moments of beauty which were more a part of the city itself than a singular object,” describes Curry.
Today, Fairey’s paste up is unrecognizable. Remnants of the red roses that adorned the woman’s body are all that remain. Just as superficial beauty fades; the poster’s “temporal moment” is over.

The third enlarged edition, with updated bibliography and improved graphics: an indispensable text for anyone dealing with power transformers.
In almost every place where people live and work you will find at least one transformer, behind the scenes keeping the supply of power to the escalator in the department store, the hotel lift, the office computer, the oven in the local bakery, the farm machinery or the petrochemical plant. Nobody gives it a second thought to the important role it plays in the overall power supply. Less you are in the energy business ensuring grid reliability and stability.
The quality of a transformer is of utmost importance for safety, industrial and financial reasons. In 2003, ABB compiled all its knowledge in a book titled “Testing of Power Transformers.” The book represented the collective wisdom of over 100 years of testing power transformers. It has been written for transformer designers, test field engineers, inspectors, consultants,academics and those involved in product quality.
The feedback from our customers has been very positive since in the year of its publication. The book has been sold all over the world and is widely used in the industry and in universities for lecture purposes.
The overall interest has given us the idea to accept the challenge of adding to the original version. The basic structure of the manual remains unchanged whereas we have updated some charts and graphics. Our aim remains defining the key elements and principles of transformer testing.
In this second edition, a new section on the testing of shunt reactors has been added.
We are grateful to our customers who have embraced this guide. Their comments and feedback remain a source of ideas and inspiration. We thank them for their helpful input and trust that this new edition will aid them to further their knowledge, expertise, insight and contribution to the field of transformer testing.

Arnside and Silverdale AONB
Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
The Arnside and Silverdale AONB was designated in 1972, under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. The AONB covers an area of 75 sq km. And is one of the family of 38 AONB’s in England and Wales. The area includes low limestone hills, limestone grasslands, ancient woodlands, fen mosses, salt marsh and inter-tidal mudflats. The area is designated for its landscape, which is of national importance and special controls are exercised to ensure developments are not detrimental to the reasons for designation. The AONB Unit is the body set up in 2001 as successor to the Countryside Management Service to ensure the conservation and enhancement of the natural beauty of the area.
The AONB Unit manages two Local Nature Reserves on behalf of Lancaster City Council, as well as acting as an advocate for the AONB and its designation. It co-ordinates, facilitates and organises conservation action on the ground either by working in partnership with other organisations and community groups, through the activities of our volunteers or in association with the Arnside and Silverdale AONB Landscape Trust (a Registered Charity and membership organisation which supports the work of the AONB Unit).
We maintain close links with other conservation organisations, government agencies, parish councils, local authorities and businesses active within the area. All the AONB Partners support the Management Plan produced in 2009 and are committed to implementation of the principles and actions identified with in the Plan.
Volunteers carry out a hugely diverse range of tasks, ranging from the specialist to the ordinary. Principal among these opportunities are the regular Tuesday and Thursday tasks. Groups of volunteers working under the supervision and instruction of Tony Riden, the AONB Countryside Officer go out Tuesday all day and Thursday mornings to complete various countryside tasks. Likely work parties include; scrub control on species rich limestone grasslands, litter-picking, footpath clearance, woodland management, installation of gates on public rights of way, fencing, bridge building, dry stone walling, pond conservation and path building.
Other opportunities also arise at various times of year, such as seasonal butterfly transect surveys, orchid site conservation, visitor surveys, footpath wardening, website maintenance, artwork and interpretation design, leaflet writing, plant surveys, species protection watches and tree planting. Work is carried out in all six parishes within the area. Enrolment as an AONB Volunteer is a simple process and all volunteers are covered by local authority insurance whilst working under the direction of Unit staff. You will get the chance to meet like-minded people, learn new skills, share experience and have the satisfaction of making a real difference to the environment of the AONB.

While driver inattentiveness and negligence are the causes of many types of auto collisions, equipment failure and car defects are also prominent reasons for car accidents throughout Ontario. These matters can be highly complex, and a lawyer must understand how to examine the proper information in order to make a claim. Choosing an experienced lawyer will likely yield the best results for your situation.
Examining vehicle maintenance and equipment function is personal after an accident. When equipment fails on a vehicle, it is most often because there has been interference with certain mechanisms, or the equipment is not properly suited or optimal for that particular type of vehicle.
Notably, we recently handled a claim against a major automobile manufacturer involving injuries sustained from seat-back failure in an auto collision. We understand how to employ a vigorous investigation process on all auto accident cases involving car defects or equipment failure. Our lawyers have extensive experience in handling auto accidents cases that involve:
- Defective tires
- Defective airbags
- Defective seating clasp mechanisms
- Defective seat backs
- Defective seat belts
- Defective engines
- Defective signals (non-functioning lights)
- Defective brakes
Many times when you examine a vehicle after an accident caused by equipment failure, you can trace the cause of the collision back to inadequate maintenance. We will look at the vehicle maintenance records, look at the tread on the tires and determine whether or not the vehicle was properly maintained by the owner, or properly repaired by vehicle maintenance professionals when the car was serviced.
Manufacturing errors can also cause accidents. Many manufacturers contract out and subcontract the responsibility for manufacturing certain parts of their products. This may lead to a larger margin for error on the part of contractors or subcontractors who may not be following the proper steps or requirements specified by the manufacturer. For example, mechanisms and securing items may not have been properly tested to ensure that the device is optimal for that part of the vehicle.

New York, USA -- Bayer MaterialScience LLC is adding three new grades to its medical thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) product line. The new TPU medical grades, which are all commercially available, extend the hardness range of Bayer MaterialScience LLC's TPU product portfolio. Texin® RxT70A resin, Texin® RxSTX120 resin and Texin® RxHM125 resin are being introduced at the currently ongoing MD&M East.
Texin RxT70A TPU is a plasticizer-free resin with good hydrolysis, low temperature flexibility, and high moisture vapor transmission rates. Typical medical applications include catheters and catheter balloons, specialty tubing and profiles. It can also be used for gaskets and soft overmolding applications, such as grips. Like other medical grades in Bayer MaterialScience LLC's family of Texin TPUs, it also exhibits an outstanding balance of flexibility, strength and toughness.
"This new material represents the softest thermoplastic polyurethane in Bayer MaterialScience's product line," said Gary Sandhu, Sales and Marketing Manager, Thermoplastic Polyurethane NAFTA, Bayer MaterialScience LLC. "This grade of Texin resin gives molders and OEMs a plasticizer-free material that offers better adhesion to a variety of substrates, such as nylon, polycarbonate (PC) and PC/ABS (polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)," he continued.
In addition to Texin RxT70A TPU, Bayer Materialscience LLC is also introducing two hard, high-modulus grades of Texin TPU.
Texin RxHM125 is a clear TPU with a Rockwell hardness of 125 (87 Shore D) the hardest of the new grades and a flexural modulus of 330,000 PSI. It is clear, with a slight amber hue that can be tinted to provide a custom-color clear tint.
Texin RxSTX120 is an opaque, high-performing TPU that offers even greater impact properties. This grade has a cream to ivory natural look and can be easily colored.
Both of these high-modulus TPU grades offer excellent heat and chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, low mold shrinkage, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and good abrasion resistance. These grades are well-suited for a number of medical applications, including connectors, clips, luers, equipment housings, stopcocks and fittings.
"We saw there was a need for high-modulus medical grade TPUs in the market place," said Tim Jacobs, Market Channel Manager, Thermoplastic Polyurethane NAFTA, Bayer MaterialScience LLC. "Introducing these two new grades, which complement Bayer MaterialScience's existing TPU product line, is indicative of our customer-centric focus and commitment to be their material supplier of choice," he continued.
All of the new TPU grades, which can be processed by injection molding or extrusion, meet certain test requirements of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-modified version of ISO 10993, Part 1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices" with human tissue contact time of 30 days or less. This is the widely accepted standard for biocompatibility.

I am not sure why it took me so long to try cooking Quinoa. I’ve had this bag of it sitting in my pantry for a couple of months now. I guess I was worried it would be tough to cook, or maybe Diana would not like it or I would not like it… Sure, I’ve had it once before, at El Bulli in Spain of all places, but it was such a small sample and I did not remember exactly how it tasted. Today was the day though.
I roasted some winter squash and glazed them with soy, ginger and maple syrup following a Cook’s Illustrated recipe and made quinoa to go with them. I used a basic recipe in Bittman’s vegetarian book. It could not have been simpler and cooks pretty fast. I sautéed the tiny grains in some olive oil with onions and added twice the amount of quinoa in water. Let it simmer, cover and cook. Very much like making rice.
The result was excellent and appreciated by everyone. The quinoa was fluffy and tender with a bit of texture. The taste was mild and very slightly vegetal. I will by using it instead of rice in many dishes in the future.
The squashes? Of course these were great. I love them in all their varieties, here I used an acorn squash and a couple of baby pumpkins.

Looks a lot like ricotta, but it’s not. It’s Arish or Arishah. It is a Lebanese staple and is ridiculously easy to make and versatile. I made this batch because I found myself with about a half-gallon of homemade yogurt that was starting to turn too sour. In case you are wondering, I made a whole gallon about a week ago and figured we’ll eat what we can and make Arish with the rest. So, keep this in mind if for some reason you are an overzealous yogurt purchaser.
The list of ingredients to make this delectable product includes: yogurt. That’s it. Just yogurt. Plonk it in a pot and heat it slowly until it curdles and separates. It should take maybe 20 minutes, depending how fast you are heating it. Let it cool slightly then dump it in a cheese cloth lined colander. Once it drains for a few hours or overnight, you’ll end up with something the texture of soft cream cheese, but a bit grainier. It will taste a bit similar to ricotta, but not exactly, it is definitely tangier and creamier.
It is delicious to eat as any other fresh cheese. Here, for dinner, I topped burger buns with some of it with salt, pepper, olive oil and a handful of arugula.
What else can we use Arish for? On toast, with sugar or honey, in small turnovers that can be fried or baked, crumbled on salads, or in the form of Shanklish. What’s that? It’s a topic for another post.

Well, Labor Day is here and, supposedly, so was Gustav the hurricane. We spent the weekend in San Antonio and ate a lot of heavy meaty foods like barbeque (chicken, brisket and sausage) and tacos (in all shapes and forms from lengua to chorizo and egg to awesome gelatinous spicy Chicharron). So, come Monday I was craving something lighter and with a hurricane in the gulf I figured lighting up the grill was not a good idea. Turns out Gustav did not affect Houston much, not even with a drop of rain. In any case these slow cooked beans still made a perfect dinner.
I cooked the beans slowly for a long time in my black clay pot while we spent the day in the backyard cleaning up the garden and doing other chores. When the beans were soft, I cooked onions and bell peppers in olive oil on gentle heat. I added some minced garlic and white wine (I had some in the fridge that needed using up). To bulk up the beans, I also peeled and sliced a few carrots and tossed them with the onions before dumping the whole flavorful mixture into the beans. I let it cook some more and seasoned it with salt and pepper and a good dose of chives.
The beans were excellent served with plain rice, but the star of the dinner was the onion salad I made to go with the. Yes, onion salad. It was delicious, crispy and refreshing. To make an outstanding onion salad without the pungency (and bad breath) first slice the onions as thinly as possible. Then soak the onions in a bowl of water and ice and leave it in the fridge for an hour or two. This step is essential. It will make the pungent onions crispy and amazingly mild. When ready to toss the salad, drain the onions well and mix them with a thinly sliced bell pepper lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and a handful of chopped parsley. This salad is so good I can eat it by itself wrapped in pita bread or even better with some freshly fried potatoes.

Tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella. Few ingredients are better when combined. I love to make this salad with the best tomatoes I can find. I toss them with a dressing made with excellent quality olive oil (a Sicilian one in this case), very little minced garlic, salt and pepper. The key is, if you have the time, to let the tomato salad rest, for 15-30 minutes. This draws some of the juice out of the tomato and blends with the dressing.
The basil is added next and mixed in. Then I arrange the tomatoes on a platter, tear off pieces of milky fresh mozzarella and scatter them on top. A bit of salad greens go on top. Arugula is especially good. I drizzle the mixture with the rest of the dressing and serve it with grilled or toasted rustic bread.

Thai curry paste preparation is typically a bit complex. The number of items that go into the past can be huge, anything from dried shrimp to Kefir lime leaves to coriander roots. This one is a fairly simple one I improvised to make a quick weekday dinner. To make it faster I also used a mini-processor instead of my usual granite mortar and pestle. The result was very good for a tasty Thai-style green curry that took less than an hour from start to finish.
The past included garlic, galangal, turmeric (fresh NOT dried…well actually frozen and it looks like a miniature knob of ginger), shallots, lemongrass from my garden, Kefir lime leaves also from my own tree and cilantro. I pulverized the ingredients as well as I could in a small processor than sautéed them in coconut cream. Good Thai coconut cream separates in the can. So, you end up with a top layer of thick coconut cream, almost like sour cream in texture, and a more liquid part that is the coconut milk. Roughly about 30% of each can is cream. After the paste is cooked for a while and a bit dried, I added palm sugar, tamarind pulp, fish sauce and the coconut milk left in the can. I le this simmer VERY gently (or it will curdle) and then added my cubed soft tofu. I finished the curry with cilantro leaves and some shredded Kefir lime leaves.
I intentionally made the curry on the soupy side. The idea is sort of like a curry noodle soup of sorts! Heresy maybe, but the taste was exceptional. That blob of brown in the opening picture, by the way, is a Thai Chilli jam . I bring that up because it looks odd but it is so delicious. This mixture of chillies, dried shrimp, galangal and shallots among many other things is one of the best recipes I culled from David Thompson’s amazing tome, Thai Food.

Potato gnocchi can be lumpy, doughy, stodgy and heavy or they can be as they should be, soft fluffy pillows of goodness. I’ve made both types and learned from my mistakes. They key is to use cooked potatoes that are as dry as possible, to use as little flour as possible (dry potatoes help with this), and to work the dough lightly and only as long as it takes for it to come together. You do not want to develop any gluten in there, which will make it chewy and the overworked potato turn it gummy.
I made these gnocchi using no specific recipe, just touch and feel. I boiled the potatoes and milled them. Then I spread them on a plate and allowed them to dry in a low oven for 30 minutes. To make the dough, I mixed the potatoes, about 1.5 cups, with one egg, salt, enough flour to bind it (maybe a small handful) and chopped basil. I formed the dough to ropes, cut the gnocchi and rolled them on the tines of a fork to give them the proper shape. Into boiling water they went and then into an ice cold water bath to halt the cooking. I tossed them with some olive oil in a bowl and put them in the fridge until the next day.
For the sauce I made eggplant in the style of a Sicilian Caponata. The eggplant is sautéed with onions, garlic, tomatoes and some raisins. When the sauce was ready I tossed in the pre-cooked gnocchi and served with extra Parmigiano cheese and pepper flakes. The basil in the gnocchi was a very good addition and went perfectly with the eggplant sauce. The texture was perfect as well, soft and light.

Having a bounty of basil in the backyard gives me more of an excuse to eat pesto. I love the stuff on almost anything. Here as a pasta sauce for cauliflower. I was hoping to make some fresh pasta for this dish, but on a Tuesday in a busy week, I had no time. First, I par-boiled the cauliflower. Then it went in a pan with olive oil, onions and garlic while I boiled the pasta, Penne in this case.
For the sauce I mixed pesto with homemade ricotta, minced garlic and parmesan cheese. When the pasta was done and the cauliflower fully cooked, sweet and starting to brown I tossed everything in a large bowl and mixed in some lemon zest for good measure. The addition of the lemon zest was a spur of the moment thing, but it really made a big difference and transformed a good dish to an excellent one. I served it with chilli flakes, more grated parmesan and olive oil toasted breadcrumbs.
If it sounds a bit odd that I add toasted breadcrumbs to the pasta, let me write a couple of lines of background. It is not something I made up or thought of myself. First time I read about it was in one of Jamie Oliver’s books. It’s correct name is Pangriata or Pangritata and it’s origin goes back to poorer Italian cooks who used it as a substitute to the more expensive grated cheese topping. It really is a wonderful way to add crunch and extra flavor to pastas and risottos especially. Anything can be mixed in it too, like maybe some herbs or chilli flakes.

This is one of those dishes that sounded much better that it turned out. It was not bad, per se, just ok. I envisioned a light but very flavorful dish of stuffed eggplant. I’ve had similar versions that included ground beef or sausage and it was delicious. This was a bit too light on flavor. It felt like it was missing something. Maybe some cooked rice or other grain might’ve helped things.
To make it, I halved the eggplants and spooned the flesh out. I sautéed the chopped eggplant flesh along with onions, bell peppers and garlic. To finish the filling I crumbled in some farmer’s cheese, mixed in an egg and some chopped basil. The eggplant “shells” were broiled to par-cook and dry a bit. I scooped the filling into them and topped with some Parmigiano cheese and bread crumbs.
After baking at 400F for about 30 minutes I served them as is. The filling tasted pretty good but was not as satisfying as I had hoped. Unfortunately, the eggplant shells were not edible. They were leathery and not very pleasant. So, we only at the filling. You live you learn.

The Curious Case of Marshall Mathers
Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this post are those of JayTeeDee individually and should not reflect those of the entire BamaLoveSoul.com staff or affiliates.Every living thing evolves naturally, everything grows and eventually changes into something else, into some new being. We are born, innocent and new to the world, absorbing everything like a sponge. We experience life and those experiences changes and shapes us into the people we are or will eventually become. We learn and grow up, changing for the better sometimes for the bad, but the ultimate goal is progression. Then after we fade off into existence we've hopefully left behind a lasting legacy that will touch many people long after we've gone. That is if our life's work reflects positive progression. Unfortunately that's not the case for Mr. Marshall Mathers. He missed the memo. His change did not come. Sorry Mr. President.
When Emimen first arrived, he was pretty much a stranger in a strange land. He was unlike anything anyone has ever heard or seen before. Before being accepted into the mainstream hip-hop community he had to first prove himself in a field dominated by a group who's image was vastly different from his. Good thing for him he could actually rap, and it didn't hurt that he was cosigned by the the biggest rapper in the game along with the backing of the biggest producer and a living legend. Em made a name for himself and built a respectable catalog of dope, albeit strange songs about popping acid tabs, matricide, uxoricide, homophobia, and animal cruelty that the average Negro probably couldn't relate to but at least the lyrics were tight and it had a good beat. Marshall had the hood shucking and jiving to suicide, rape, torture, and latent homoerotica. And I'm pretty sure a couple of the homies have tried dropping acid after The Marshall Mathers LP.
But over time Marshall started to let go some of that and attempted to change. It was noticeable on his last album before the current album, The Eminem Show, he was evolving. Maybe it was exorcising his personal demons, or reconciling with his family, setting a good example for his daughter or the untimely death of his friend and mentor, Proof. But whatever it was the man was changing. And his music reflected the kind of progression that some of his counterparts like Pac, Big, and Jay did. And had he ended his career with that album he would be remembered as one of the greatest who ever did it. But he had to go and f*ck it up and literally 'Relapse.'
Let me just clarify that this is not a review of the album, I wouldn't dare sully the coveted Headnod scale by wasting it on this tripe. But I will say this... anyone who publicly states that this was in any way a good album is a f*cking idiot!!!
But at least it's aptly titled. 'Relapse' is nothing more than a repeat of the same old dated material repackaged, only this time it's not relevant, not that it ever was. There is no progression here only regression, its f*cking garbage. I literally suffered through it from the very first track and after it was finally over, in what seemed like forever, I was left feeling physically angry. I just wanted to grab the nearest person and shake them violently and scream at them. I probably would have if I wasn't at my office. I don't think that would have went down well with HR. During a time when literally forgetting to put the cover sheet on your TPS report will get your ass drop kicked to the unemployment line. But I digress... My reaction to the album is partly due to my deep emotional connection with the music I listen too and also Marshall's ability to evoke a visceral reaction to his music. But this experience really made me question if I should have ever liked Eminem's music at all. At least with the old stuff I could nod my head, this time I wanted to rip out my eardrums. If I had paid for it I would have shot the cashier for selling it to me.
'Relapse' is exactly why I'm bored with about 90% of so called hip-hop right now. There's no progression, no evolution, no change. Too many artists are recycling old themes and calling it new. How many times can you talk about defiling Mariah and choking your wife. And dude what the hell is up with the homo stuff? Just come out already!!! Anyway I digress (again)... Some artists haven't learned from past mistakes and caught on to the change in times. Its's no wonder more and more people are flocking to new forms of music and embracing artists who before now wouldn't have even gotten a snippet played on SOHH. I respect rappers out there like Drake, The Cool Kids, and LoJ, et.al for bringing something new and different to the game and I wish them success. And I just want to say that I'm so sorry that my homie Asher Roth had the suffer the misfortune of being compared to that parasite.
I don't know why Marshall chose to come back, or why this is the shit that he unleashed onto the public and called it an album. Who knows?! But I do know this is no longer the kind of music I care for anymore. And anyone who does is a f*cking idiot!!! Who knows if he will release anything else, and if this was indeed an actual relapse we can only hope that he goes back into recovery and comes out officially clean. Or just like most addicts who have a hard time coping and let their demons and addictions get the best of them, just kills himself. Figuratively not literally of course, but on the other hand...
I think the album can be summed up best by the Interlude, which when it came on I was shocked amazed that Paul Rosenberg looked into future and read my mind: "Em, I just listened to the entire album... I don't have your back on this one... I can't even f*cking handle it. I'm done!" Now I got to go and try to erase the memory of this experience from my mind so I can continue my own positive progression, maybe rehab will help.
Ok I'm done.

Design Tips and Advice for 5 ½" x 11" Size Postcards
A 5 ½" x 11" size postcard is perfect for the individual that is needing to stand out from the crowd. The 5 ½" x 11" size postcard is still very economical, even with the larger size. All things considered, postcards are without question one of the most cost efficient, hard-copy advertising, promotion and information distribution vehicles available today. Dollar-for-dollar invested, postcards outperform practically every other direct communication medium, including print, radio and television.
When you design your 5 ½" x 11" size postcard, keep in mind you still need to accommodate your bleeds. Be sure you "bleed" the copy off the edge by at least 1/8th so that when we cut the postcards, you won't see any white around the edge. In addition, be sure to think about how you are going to mail them. And if you choose to use an indicia, include that in your design.
Postcards Maximize Visibility!
Postcards work because they get seen as soon as the person picks up the mail. The most unique postcard is this special oversized card that measures 11" x 5.5". Wow does it stand out in the mail! These oversized postcards grab the reader’s attention. People will notice your headline even if they are just flipping through the mail. Unlike direct mail messages hidden in envelopes, every person who handles your postcard sees your sales message. A hard-hitting design can really attract customers. And, as you well know, you can never predict who on that list of accidental, secondary and pass-along viewers, who just happen to see your marketing message as they are carrying the mail from one place to another, and might become one of your best new customers!
Remember, Postcards Don't Lie.
I'm sure we have all received the direct mail piece that looks like a check. Or how about one that looks like it is from your bank or the IRS? They are all trying to "trick" you into opening the envelope. This method can often lead to distrust from the potential customer
When you first start thinking about how you want the postcard to look, think about designing a postcard this way - Postcards are minature billboards filled with benefitial copy. If you design them right, you can draw in the prospect with a compelling headline. Remember, with postcards you usually only 2 to 5 seconds to capture the viewers attention, before they throw them away.
Postcards also give you more bang for your buck - They are cheaper to purchase than other forms of direct mail or advertising, and they often get better results.You can target Specific market segments with postcards. - Unlike a billboard or radio ad, you can mail to specific target markets to spend your marketing dollars where they will be most effective.
They are easy to handle!
No envelopes to stuff, lick and stamp and no brochures to fold. Full color commands full attention!
Study after study substantiates the fact that full color printing outperforms one or two color printing in all statistically measurable areas. Prospects notice full color printing. Period. They read the messages more often. Remember the message more often, and remember the advertiser or brand more often.
Postcards Help to Improve Your Image.
Even if a prospect doesn't act immediately as a result of seeing a postcard, the positive image a well-designed postcard can produce will help to get their attention or get them to remember you in the future. Image does matter, and a regular postcard mailing program will help enhance that image. Nothing can do more to convey your company's professional image than a well-designed, well-written, full color postcard campaign.

Pratt & Whitney to Deliver First Entry Into Service Engine Parts Using Additive Manufacturing
When Pratt & Whitney delivers its first production PurePower® PW1500G engines to Bombardier this year, these engines will be the first ever to feature entry-into-service jet engine parts produced using additive manufacturing. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. company (NYSE: UTX).
While Pratt & Whitney has produced more than 100,000 prototype parts using additive manufacturing over the past 25 years – and hundreds more to support the PurePower Geared Turbofan™ engine family's development – the company will be the first to use additive manufacturing technology to produce compressor stators and synch ring brackets for the production engines. Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1500G engines exclusively power the Bombardier CSeries* aircraft family.
Additive manufacturing, also called three-dimensional (3D) printing, builds parts and products one layer at a time by printers. In 3D printing, additive processes are used, in which successive layers of material are laid down under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are produced from a 3D model or other electronic data source.
"Pratt & Whitney has been working with additive manufacturing since the 1980s, and we are looking forward to our upcoming milestone, when the first production PurePower PW1500G engines with parts produced through additive manufacturing will be delivered," said Tom Prete, Pratt & Whitney's Engineering vice president. "We are a vertically integrated additive manufacturing producer with our own metal powder source and the printers necessary to create parts using this innovative technology. As a technology leader, we are intrigued by the potential of additive manufacturing to support our suite of technologies and benefits to customers and the global aerospace industry."
"Additive manufacturing offers significant benefits to the production of jet engines," said Lynn Gambill, chief engineer, Manufacturing Engineering and Global Services at Pratt & Whitney. "We have engine tested components produced through additive manufacturing in the PW1500G."
In production tests, Pratt & Whitney has realized up to 15 months lead-time savings compared to conventional manufacturing processes and up to 50 percent weight reduction in a single part. The PurePower engine family parts will be the first product produced using 3D printing powder bed additive manufacturing.
Related manufacturing technologies that will be used in the PurePower engine production include Metal Injection Molding, Electron Beam Melt and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (including Direct Metal Laser Sintering).
Pratt & Whitney and the University of Connecticut are also collaborating to advance additive manufacturing research and development. The Pratt & Whitney Additive Manufacturing Innovation Center is the first of its kind in the Northeast region to work with metal powder bed technologies. With more than $4.5 million invested, the center will further advance Pratt & Whitney's additive manufacturing capabilities, while providing educational opportunities for the next generation of manufacturing engineers.
Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines and auxiliary power units. United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Connecticut, provides high technology products and services to the building and aerospace industries. To learn more about UTC, visit its website at www.utc.com, or follow the company on Twitter: @UTC.
This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning future business opportunities. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in levels of demand in the aerospace industry, in levels of air travel, and in the number of aircraft to be built; challenges in the design, development, production and support of advanced technologies; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those detailed from time to time in United Technologies Corp.'s Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Below is a report from our client Dr. Kiracofe who is traveling around the Arabian Peninsula before joining our group in Riyadh next month. He has sent us this entry about his visit in Kuwait. More to come about his visits in Oman. Thank you Dr. Kiracofe for sharing this!
It is 7:36 your time, 3:36 pm here. I leave for the airport at around 7:30 pm. Just came in from spending the day at the Arab Fund Building. It is the most fabulous building in the middle east, and one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen. I showed up unannounced and asked to be permitted to see the interior, which I was told is very beautiful, an understatement if ever there was one…
I was told to take a seat in the spectacular lobby, filled with remarkable antiques from all around the Islamic world. 20 minutes later security showed me to the first floor to a huge atrium with a very elegant cafeteria to one side where i was shown to a table and invited to take coffee and little cookies. There a highly educated gentleman engaged me in conversation about Islamic culture, and we talked for half an hour or more about pattern formation and the meanings behind the patterns… Then he suggested we take a walk around, and for the next 4 1/2 hours he showed me all through the building, built for the Arab Fund, like the World Bank of the Islamic world, with office space, meeting rooms, dining rooms, sitting rooms, auditorium, one more beautiful than the next.
Islamic traditions applied to modern architecture with the most lush use of exotic materials and exquisite workmanship in all types of material, stone, marble, ceramic mosaic, brass, copper, leather, glass, wood, wool for carpets and tapestries… simply amazing… the finest artisans from all over the Islamic world, perhaps mostly Egypt and north Africa, but also Syria and Turkey… and the facility is available to the public for meetings, conferences, events, also to the diplomatic corps, universities, private companies, anyone may apply to use the spaces and they are equipped with every possible modern amenity for presentation and broadcast… extremely well done. The man who showed me through the building is the director of maintenance, he was the electrical engineer responsible for supervision of the electrical and mechanical systems during construction and has remained with the building since it opened, more than 10 years ago, but it looks like a new building. Everything is spotless and in perfect condition…. as i left he gave me a book about the building… gorgeous photography… worth coming to Kuwait just to see this building!
anyone coming to Kuwait with any serious interest in cultural things should come to this building. The man to contact is Ziyad Reja M. Khalil, firstname.lastname@example.org They welcome people with a serious interest and are happy to show the building and encourage photography. I am very glad I went to see it!
More from Oman tomorrow…

Senator Catherine Ardagh highlights reduction in HSE funding to South Inner City Drugs and Alcohol Task Force
- Soaring level of air pollution recorded across Dublin -
Fianna Fáil Senator and Seanad Group Leader, Catherine Ardagh has said that not enough is being done to alert people to take immediate action to help reduce the current high level of pollutants in the air across Dublin.
It was reported earlier this week that all Dublin based air quality stations recorded an Air Quality Index for Health (AQHI) score of 10, which is the lowest score on the scale.
The current high level of pollution is believed to be as a result of local pollution emitted from cars and home heating. These emissions combined with ambient levels of pollution from the continent with cold weather conditions means pollutants are not being dispersed.
Speaking in the Seanad during Order of Business earlier today, Senator Ardagh said, “Ireland boasts one of the most flourishing natural environments in the world, yet our lifestyle continues to jeopardise it rather than protect it.
“Poor quality air does not just have harmful impact on our environment, but also triggers extra demand on our already pressurised health services. There can be serious health implications suffered by many during a period of high pollution, including the elderly, those with lung or heart disease or suffering from conditions such as Asthma.
“Ireland has several existing strategies, such as banning the use of smokey coal to reduce air pollution in accordance with the EU Clean Air for Europe Directive. However, we must look at what else we can do to ensure that we meet the EPA’s greenhouse gas emission projection which will require Ireland to lower its average PM2.5 levels by 10% by 2020.
“This must be a government led initiative but we can all learn how to take precautions to protect against poor quality air. We have to look at what we can do to get more people to switch from their cars to public transport and also encourage a switch away from diesel and promote less polluting alternatives.
“Going forward, the Government needs to spell out what it's doing to lessen the environmental impact of our homes and offices, our transport system and our agri-food production,” concluded Senator Ardagh.
- Just 17 contractors have registered with government measure to support first time buyers –
Fianna Fáil Senator and Seanad Group Leader, Catherine Ardagh has said that the government must introduce a mandatory requirement for contractors to register with Revenue in order to assist first time buyers with qualifying for the Help-to-Buy grant.
The Help-to-Buy scheme introduced by the government was initially designed to help first time buyers meet tougher deposit requirements under Central Bank mortgage lending rules. Applications from first-time home buyers for financial support under the government’s measure opened earlier this month.
Figures provided by the Revenue Commissioners show that just 17 contractors or developers have registered with the scheme to date nationwide.
Speaking in the Seanad earlier this morning, Senator Ardagh said, “At a time when house prices and rents are fast increasing and while so many people are desperately trying to save for a deposit to buy their first home, I believe that more effort is needed to support prospective first time home buyers.
“Many first time-buyers I have engaged with have discovered that they are not eligible to qualify for the Help-to-Buy grant if they have approached a contractor that is not registered with Revenue. Therefore, first-time buyers are being penalised and deprived of the grant on this basis,” explained the Dublin based Senator.
“The published criterion for developers to register is not particularly onerous that developers should be deterred from their obligation to register to the scheme. There is no reasonable rationale behind the punitive nature of this current legislation.
“I believe that the only acceptable solution is to ensure mandatory registration with Revenue is urgently introduced so that first time buyers who find a suitable property to their needs, are in the position to purchase it and avail of the grant. I am calling on the Housing Minister Simon Coveney and also on Minister Noonan to make registration mandatory for all contractors,” concluded Senator Ardagh.
- Dublin 12 one of the highest affected percentages of lone parents in the country -
Fianna Fáil Seanad Spokesperson on Social Protection, Senator Catherine Ardagh has said that while more lone parents are now in paid employment, it does not mean that their family incomes have increased or even stayed the same since facing cuts to social protection support.
The reforms the last Government implemented resulted in a reduction of payments to many lone parent headed families in Dublin 12. The reforms have now placed thousands of lone parents into a vicious welfare trap, and reduced the options available to them in the future.
Speaking in the Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection earlier today, Senator Ardagh said, “Lone parent families throughout Ireland are still struggling to afford essential goods and services. My own area of Dublin 12 has one of the highest affected percentages of lone parents in the country demographically.
“While some lone parents have been able to increase their hours of employment, many are now taking home less money as they have lost the weekly Lone Parent Allowance, and the secondary benefits that come with that payment.
“The vast majority of lone parents I’ve met in my community want to work, but they need their employment to pay them a decent salary. While more lone parents are now working they aren’t earning enough to sustain their family.
“We must identify the supports and barriers required for lone parents to access higher education and examine measures to increase participation.
“Lone parents are amongst one of the most vulnerable groups in Irish society. Ireland has some quite staggering poverty and deprivation statistics - 59% of lone parent households are currently experiencing deprivation. It’s evident that lone parents are still suffering as a result of the punitive policies pursued by the previous Government.
“For thousands of lone parent families, 2017 will be yet another year where they struggle to balance the books to afford essential goods and services. The Government must step up and do more to improve outcomes for lone parents and their children.” concluded Ardagh.

Students learn global etiquette
Published 8:00 pm, Thursday, October 18, 2007
They were chunky, but tasteful -- an ideal accompaniment to a professional outfit. But they wouldn't fly in France.
Sabath, president and founder of At Ease Inc., a business protocol and social skills training firm, was instructing the nearly 20 students gathered before her Wednesday on appropriate etiquette for doing business in other countries.
During her talk, she pointed out that different cultures have different rules when it comes to the way people dress.
These ranged from the obvious -- women shouldn't wear sleeveless or low-cut tops when doing business with people from Middle Eastern countries -- to the more obscure -- don't wear black in Thailand. It means your mother has died.
Sabath said France in particular had some little-known rules for women's attire. For instance, you should probably avoid colored nail polish. It's considered tacky. And wear good jewelry -- or none at all.
"I'd never wear these pearls in France," she explained. "This is costume jewelry. I'd wear my good pearls."
Sabath's lecture was part of Fairfield's annual "Gaining That Competitive Edge" seminar for business students, sponsored by the university's Charles F. Dolan School of Business. The day-long event centered on the things students can do to make a better impression in the business world.
This year marked the first time the university offered a presentation on international etiquette, and Dolan School Dean Norm Solomon said the addition was in response to requests by students. Solomon said that in this increasingly global economy, knowing how to behave while in another country is a crucial, and marketable, skill.
"Many students will work for firms that do business overseas," Solomon said. "It gives them an edge to know what to do and what not to do."
Sabath's lecture included an ample amount of dos and don'ts. Many subtle differences exist between the United States and other countries, she said.
"My job today is to assist you in raising your level of awareness and in being more sensitive," Sabath said.
She began by teaching body language. Though rules and perceptions differ from country to country, a few broad guidelines apply, Sabath said. For instance, never put your hands in your pockets when standing.
"It's perceived as hiding something -- very rude," she said.
When seated, you should place your hands above the table you're sitting at -- again, so that you don't appear to be hiding anything.
Also, place your feet flat on the ground, because Sabath said showing the soles of your shoes could be considered rude.
"In some cultures, they say the dirtiest part of your body is the sole of your shoe," Sabath explained. "I guess they're right. You wouldn't want to eat off the sole of your shoe."
She went on to discuss the dynamics of meeting and greeting people.
Again, the rules differ from country to country, and depend on whether the area you're traveling to is "high contact" or "low contact."
Those from low-contact cultures, such as the British or Australians, prefer to maintain a two-arms-length distance when meeting others.
Those from high-contact countries, such as Italy or Middle Eastern countries, prefer to stand a little closer when communicating.
Some cultures greet visitors with a handshake, and some with a bow.
And, in some countries, such as Italy, when you get to know someone a little better it's appropriate to kiss on the cheek.
Sabath said some Americans are alarmed by other countries' comfort with kissing, but that it's simply a way of greeting.
If you've met someone before, and he or she tries to kiss you on the cheek, "you don't have to be intimidated," she said. "All you have to do is give them your cheek."
Sabath also led a seminar Wednesday night on table manners and how to behave during a business dinner -- a talk that included lessons on dining etiquette in other countries.
The talks were extremely helpful for those wishing to join today's business world, said sophomore international business major Allyson Wensch.
Wensch attended Sabath's afternoon seminar and said she learned volumes of new information.
"I haven't traveled that much yet," she said. "I didn't know anything. I didn't know how to address people, or the different customs."
Such skills are indispensable these days, she said.
"We've living in a global community," Wensch said. "If you're not sensitive to other people's cultures, you're not going to get anywhere."

Father's Day: Gone Fishing
by Ryan Duncan, Crosswalk.com Entertainment Editor
Hear, my son, your father's instruction (Prov. 1:8).
The first time my father took me fishing I was twelve years old. I suppose this statement could sound misleading, since before that we had certainly played at fishing together. Normally he would take me to a small stream or pond filled with minnows and the occasional catfish, then smile as I reeled one in with my toy fishing pole. This was different; this time he took me north to the boundary waters of Minnesota, to a place called Basswood Lake. The moment I set eyes on that vast track of wilderness, a small part of me knew I was about to grow up.
Basswood itself looked endless, a maze of islands covered in far-reaching green forests. Even by motorboat it took us over an hour to reach our campsite, and once we settled in I became aware of a deep, resounding silence. For several days all we did was fish on that deep blue lake. We made shore lunch out of whatever we caught that day and at night ate s'mores while watching for shooting stars. I hated every minute of it.
What can I say? I was a doughy, twelve-year-old boy who wanted a warm bed and his Super Nintendo. I had never particularly liked fishing anyway, and sitting in a boat for hours was pure agony for me. With my attitude, I'm a little surprised my dad didn’t chuck me overboard and be done with it. Instead, he bore it all patiently, and taught me things he’d learned about fishing, cooking, camping, and God.
It's not easy teaching a boy how to become a man, but somehow my dad found a way. It may take gentle coaxing, it may involve some kicking and screaming, but in the end, I believe teaching a son how to grow is both the greatest blessing and challenge God can give a father. My dad taught me so much during those times at Basswood, and looking back on it now I realize how much of it I took for granted. In these ways, and so many more, my dad helped me understand my Heavenly Father.
With Father’s Day almost upon us, I wanted to take a moment to write down all things for which I was grateful to my own dad, but God isn't one to pass up a teaching opportunity. The more I reflected on how great a father my dad has been to me, the more I began to understand how great a God our Heavenly Father is to us. Because even when we take him for granted, even when we make terrible mistakes, God's love never changes, just like my dad's love and patience didn't change for the grumpy kid in the boat. He will always be there, firm but with arms open to say, "I love you. I will always love you. Learn from this."
Intersecting Faith & Life: May this Father’s Day bring you many blessings and remind you of the many you already possess.

Splitting long running tasks with active objects
CSimpleAO example code illustrates a framework that could be used to split long running tasks with active objects. It can only be used with processes that can be divided into steps, and in it each step would then be handled inside DoOneRound-function.
Important aspects when using active objects is that the priority has to be given while constructing the active object, also before using it it should always be added to the CActiveScheduler, as shown in ConstructL-function. Also always when any asynchronous function is started SetActive-function must be called.
Note that the priority value for the active object should always be kept as small as possible, this is important since if the priority value is set too high, the long runnig task could still be blocking other event handlers that have lower priority.
When extending this example code, all initialization can be added to the StartProcess-function. and each process step handling code can be added to the DoOneRound-function.
CSimpleAO* CSimpleAO::NewL(MSimpleAOObserver& aObserver)
CSimpleAO* self = NewLC(aObserver);
CSimpleAO* CSimpleAO::NewLC(MSimpleAOObserver& aObserver)
CSimpleAO* self = new (ELeave) CSimpleAO(aObserver);
iRounds = 100;
iError = KErrNone;
iCancel = ETrue;
iError = iStatus.Int();
if(iError != KErrNone || (iCurrent > iRounds))
TInt Err = DoOneRound();
// do one step on the process in here and update variables;
public: // New methods
virtual void MeProcessL(TInt aNow,TInt aFull) = 0;
virtual void MeFinnishL(CSimpleAO* aObject, TInt aError) = 0;
class CSimpleAO : public CActive
static CSimpleAO* NewL(MSimpleAOObserver& aObserver);
static CSimpleAO* NewLC(MSimpleAOObserver& aObserver);

The animals at the Wake County SPCA can rest easier, play more and chow down on tasty treats, thanks to an effort by students at Endeavor Charter School.
As part of the school’s “Paws for a Cause” program, the students last week made dog beds, blankets, rope toys and more for the SPCA.
Endeavor’s mascot is a lion, and students earn paw points for good behavior. The grade that collects the most points each quarter gets to pick a charity to help. This quarter’s winners, the fourth grade, chose the animal shelter – a decision that resonated with the students in other grades as well.
“I think it’s great to help the animals,” said Maddie David, 11, as she worked with fellow sixth-grader Kate Meares, 12, to make a fleece blanket.
As part of their project, the students also got a lesson in kindness from a small black-and-tan dachshund named Ricky Bobby.
Jena Ball, author of the CritterKin book series, introduced students at the school to the story of Ricky Bobby, who was rescued from a puppy mill with his back legs paralyzed. Once he was adopted, his new family made him a wheeled cart so that he could get around.
Ricky Bobby is a character in Ball’s series, and she uses his rescue story and other stories about his life, including some told from his point of view, to illustrate lessons about kindness.
As part of the Ball’s presentation, she talked with the students about how hearing a story told from Ricky Bobby’s point of view helps them understand what animals experience. They then wrote down stories told from the point of view of dogs waiting at the shelter to help encourage people to adopt the animals.
“It's fun, but it's also a wonderful way to teach empathy,” Ball said.
Ryan Hardy, 9, a fourth-grader at Endeavor, said he enjoyed the story of Ricky Bobby and thinking about the needs of animals.
“They’re like humans, so you should treat them the same,” he said.

One of Lamech's two wives (Gen. iv. 19, 20). The name is mentioned in the poem in verses 23 and 24.
The names of Lamech's wives have been variously explained. "Ornament" and "Shadow" are the meanings most often given, but Böttcher suggests "Migrant" and "Protectress," Ewald and others "Aurora" (or "Light") and "Shade"—that is, "Day" and "Night"; whence Goldziher and Lenormant find a basis for a mythical origin (compare Dillmann, "Genesis," and Lenormant, "Origines," i. 183 et seq.). Cheyne regards the names as epithets of old chief-tainesses. In the poem from which the names are taken Lamech stands for the typical warrior, whose power to avenge himself is complete. "Adornment" and "Shade"—that is, "Protection"—could easily have been poetically conceived as his wives, and Naamah (), or "Pleasure," as the daughter of Zillah (ver. 22). The possibility of a personal origin of the names, as Cheyne conceives it, can not, however, be denied.
The Midrash interprets Adah, the name of one of the wives of Lamech, as the "deposed one" (Aramaic ), and the name of the other, Zillah, as signifying that "she shaded herself" (Hebrew ) at the side of her husband. It states in explanation that the immoral generation before the Deluge was in the habit of marrying two wives; one for the perpetuation of the race, the other for indulgence in sensual pleasure. In Lamech's case the former was Adah, who was the slave tyrannized over by her husband; the latter was Zillah, the mistress who commanded him (Gen. R. xxiii. 2).

A catering business plan should allow you to follow the tips for successful business gathering. For the most part it is a true statement, but not everyone succeed in every business venture.
The intangible element is our human nature, which attempts to adapt and change a plan to our own whims and desires. When implementing a plan of any kind, if you are using a valid and tested course of action, it should be followed to the letter. You can also look for professional social media marketing services for your catering business.

Today, a mobile catering business offers the opportunity to begin a start-up business relatively quickly for a modest cost. The very fact that you take your business with you was ever you go creates a great deal of flexibility.
There is probably more profit in the food and restaurant business than any other business, yes, it takes hard work and dedication, but if you like to cook and want to learn how to translate that into dollars, a mobile catering business could be just the thing for you.
The key is being willing to learn. You can have minimal experience and talent, but by following a set plan that has a proven track record, you could become very successful.
If you are looking into becoming self-employed, have a passion for creating your own hours, income and security, then this could be a real possibility. Be certain that you have a proven catering business plan that you know has come from a successful business person.

Happy Friday! I’m so excited for the weekend. This is my last weekend of work before I’m pretty much done with college. Hallelujah! This week I’ve shared Josh and my apartment hunt and our food adventures in Omaha. I also want to share the hotel we stayed at. We could not recommend a place more highly.
We stayed at the Element by Westin in Midtown Crossing. When we booked the reservation I had no idea what to expect. From the Westin hotels I’ve stayed at before I knew good service is always a top priority but neither one of us were familiar with the Element line. When we drove up we were already impressed by how nice the building looked. Doesn’t it just look like a fun place to stay?
Walking in the lobby was nice. I grew up traveling a lot, and I always get so excited to see the lobby, it feels like a big reveal. It was clean and well decorated and the staff was so friendly. The same guy that checked us in checked us out and he would always smile and wave every time we came in and out of the hotel.
We loved our hotel room. We had no idea it came with a kitchen. The Element is a green hotel with lots of energy saving initiatives. They actually have a key sensor in the room that’s needed to turn on the lights. This ensures that when you leave the room (with your key) the lights are turned off behind you.
Our city view and TV that we never even turned on. We were go-go-go this entire trip.
This bed was heavenly. I love soft beds with plushy comforters and pillows. Josh said it was comfortable but too soft for him. I guess I understand why they create those beds that are adjustable on each side.
I loved the bathroom, especially that huge shower! We were so impressed with how well our room was cleaned every day. The maids not only removed old towels and straightened the bed but they arranged our stuff. Our toothbrushes were put into a cup and my makeup bags were organized. They also turned our towels into bows. This kind of service is just above and beyond and really meant a lot to me.
We were excited that the hotel came with breakfast but we didn’t realize how nice the breakfast was. I’ve had great breakfast at hotels that you have to pay for but this is far and away the nicest complimentary breakfast I’ve ever had.
Every day breakfast was different but I noticed a pattern. There was always two egg offerings, one vegetarian and one not, fresh fruit, and a hot carb with topping options. The one pictured is oatmeal quinoa and it was fabulous. There was always a fresh made smoothie, tons of juice options, bagels, toast, cereal, yogurt, and bread. Everything was perfect.
Aside from a complimentary breakfast they also have a complimentary snack station in the lobby (Pop Chips and Rice Krispy Treats for the win!) and complimentary happy hour during the week. We could only make it to one happy hour because of our schedule but we were so blown away. The night we were there was pasta night with tiramisu for dessert.
There was a make your own pasta bar (with so many options!), a caprese salad, and Italian sausage. Josh and I split this plate (and then went back for dessert) because we were going out to eat afterwards. This could have been a meal though! I’ve never seen a complimentary happy hour this extensive at a hotel. It was incredible.
There was also a complete gym in the hotel that I meant to use and photograph but there was simply no time. We were too busy out exploring and enjoying the area. And I figure I’ll have plenty of time to use the gym in our new apartment. ;p
Every single thing about this hotel was wonderful. The hotel was clean and modern, the employees were helpful and friendly, and the food was fabulous. There was also free wifi which was a huge perk. Even when we ran into a snag at check out with Josh’s direct bill not being set up properly the staff were wonderful and got it all worked out. They even gave us a coupon for a free appetizer at the restaurant we were going to for lunch before heading to the airport.
Josh and I kept joking that if we didn’t find an apartment we’d be happy to live at the hotel. While I’m very excited for our apartment I’m going to miss this hotel. Josh and I recommend this hotel wholeheartedly, with two thumbs way up. We can’t wait to stay at more Westin and Starwood hotels in the future.
Question of the Day: Have you stayed at an Element hotel before? What is a hotel that has completely blown you away with their awesomeness?

Walmart fills key merchandising post
September 27th, 2010
BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Walmart has promoted Duncan Mac Naughton to executive vice president of consumables, health and wellness, and Walmart.com, putting him in charge of one of four newly created core merchandising areas.
Mac Naughton had been chief merchandising officer at Walmart Canada after serving as executive vice president of merchandising and marketing at Supervalu Inc. He has over 25 years of experience in the retail and consumer packaged goods industries, including positions with Kraft Foods Inc., H.E. Butt Grocery Co. and Albertsons Inc.
“Duncan is bringing a depth and breadth of knowledge and a proven track record in the retail sector,” Walmart U.S. president and chief executive officer Bill Simon wrote in a memo to employees. “He is a great addition to the Walmart U.S. team.”
Under Mac Naughton, Scott Huff will be senior VP of consumables, while John Agwunobi remains president and senior VP of health and wellness. Scott McCall is senior VP of health and wellness merchandising, reporting to Agwunobi, while senior VP Steve Nave heads Walmart.com. Phillip Freehling will be senior director of planning, pricing and modular development for the overall area.
The other new core merchandising areas are general merchandise and replenishment, food, and soft lines. Each area is headed by an executive vice president, two of whom are incumbents and two of whom have been promoted.
John Westling remains executive VP of general merchandise and replenishment, a post he assumed in July after Simon was named to head Walmart U.S. Likewise, Jack Sinclair remains executive VP of food, while Andy Barron was elevated to executive VP of soft lines.
Mac Naughton, Westling, Sinclair and Barron and their teams “know how to create excitement in our merchandise mix,” Simon said in the memo. “They have a passion for merchandising and growing sales. For now, they will report to me, allowing me to stay close as they thoughtfully look at our merchandising opportunities.”
Simon added, “Merchandising is the very core of our business. It’s about giving millions of Americans access to everyday low prices and a broad assortment of the products and brands they want — whether they are buying in store or online.”
He said the new structure “aligns similar categories and allows us to be even more competitive in each customer channel, improving how we target and localize merchandise.”

LONDON – Classified documents in the latest WikiLeaks dump reveal an extensive, international cover-up of UFOs.
In a secure Skype chat with Weekly World News this morning, Julian Assange of Wikileaks – who is in an undisclosed bunker – confirmed that a large number of documents in his latest release reveal a massive international cover-up about the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
Assange indicated that WikiLeaks has unreleased documents about UFO, sparking concerns about the existence of the second form of life. In a conversation with Frank Lake of WWN, Assange said, ‘Many weirdos email us about UFOs or how they discovered that they were the anti-Christ whilst talking with their ex-wife at a garden party over a pot-plant.’
‘However, as yet they have not satisfied two of our publishing rules. However, it is worth noting that in yet-to-be-published parts of the Cable Gate archive there are numerous references to UFOs.’
Assange told WWN that after the recent earthquake in Haiti there were thousands of individuals that saw UFOs over the country. Hillary Clinton ordered all photos of the UFOs destroyed. She also ordered all documents relating to UFOs sightings in Haiti to be deleted from all computers. But Assange has the documents and the photos.
Here’s one photo of the UFOs seen over Haiti on January 14, 2010 – two days after the 7.0 earthquake.
Assange went on to say that the international community is aware of an alien invasion that began in March of this year and that they predict will continue for the next five years. “The global community is trying to protect the citizens of earth from the truth, which is that by 2015, Earth will be controlled by aliens.”
The Obama Administration vehemently denied any allegation that they are covering up the existence of UFOs. White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs mentioned the Weekly World News on Meet The Press this morning. “The U.S. government is not the Weekly World News,” Gibbs told David Gregory. “There are no such things as UFOs an there is no alien invasion underway. It’s all a lie.”
Really? You think so, Mr. Gibbs? Julian Assange plans on releasing the UFO documents to the public this week.
Oh, and BTW, Mr. Gibbs. How do you explain that the fact that on Friday, NASA researchers revealed that they had discovered the existence of l life on Mars and Jupiter?

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the University of Stirling, we asked some of the university’s notable sporting figures of the past half-century for their memories of their time at Stirling. Here are their responses…
Susan Egelstaff – Six-time Scottish badminton champion, 2006 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist and Olympian at London 2012. Now a successful journalist for the Herald.
“One of my most memorable moments from my uni years was when my friends and I went to see the mighty Chesney Hawkes of ‘The One And Only’ fame at Enigma nightclub (which I think is now long closed down).
“Chesney Hawkes was, by far, the biggest celebrity who had come to Stirling during my time at uni, but even taking that into account, our excitement levels were completely disproportionate to his mediocre level of fame. And as it turned out, the night wasn’t quite as good as we had all built it up to be, but the thing that Stirling was so brilliant for was that every night out was a good one.
“The town is small enough that you’d always bump into someone you knew and for years after Chesney Hawkes’ visit, he still got frequent mentions.”
Ross Murdoch – Commonwealth Games gold medallist at Glasgow 2014, bronze medallist at the World Championships in 2015 and Rio 2016 Olympian
“I’ll never forget when I moved here for the first time. I lived in AKD and in that first week – even as an athlete not able to experience the traditional freshers atmosphere as such – meeting all these new people and starting new classes was just really good. I loved it, and I’ve never really looked back.
“I’m not really ready to go anywhere else!”
Eilidh Barbour – leading sports broadcaster for the BBC and BT Sport
“A lot of my memories revolve around sport. I played in the women’s football team and we had a great time. A lot of my friends from uni are from that team.
“Most of my memories, though, are just great times with the people I met there. I think you build such close bonds at Stirling because of the campus nature of the uni. You live in each other’s pockets, study together, eat together, drink together all in the one campus. I loved it.”
Gordon McRorie – Represented Canada at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and has earned 30 caps as scrum-half
“I have a fond memory of my time at the university involving rugby. We won the top university league in Scotland back in the 2008/2009 season when we were in the same league as Dundee, Aberdeen, St Andrews and Edinburgh.
“We had to beat Edinburgh away with a bonus point to win the league. We won and scored four tries to gain the bonus point and were crowned champions!
“We had a pretty good night too!”
Lauren Tait, member of the inaugural Sirens Netball squad
“My favourite memory from Stirling is freshers in first year – meeting your flatmates and then going to all the events that the Students’ Union throw!
“Many amazing memories and stories that I still tell to this day come from that part of my life, and first year is the year I wish I could relive over and over again.”
Ashley Hopkinson, Stirling Clansmen and Great Britain international
“I have a few great memories at university, mostly sporting ones. I would say my biggest memory would be the comeback win over Durham a couple of years ago.
“We were 22-0 down at half time, and the way our team came back made it feel like we were playing in America at a NCAA division one school. The score was tied 28-28, and Durham went for two points. I intercepted the ball and ran it back for two of our own, giving us a 30-28 win.
“I would also say winning my first national championship was an incredible feeling, as people had been working for that for four years, so I really wanted to win it for the guys on the team.”
What are your memories of your time at Stirling? Let us know!

The Bug Butcher
From Awfully Nice Studios in Kufstein of Austria, this is a riveting shooter involving many, many bugs.
It’s actually from 2015, where it hit Steam with a vengeance. But in the last couple of years it’s come across to the current crop of consoles.
You star as Harry, a sardonic exterminator chap who’s arrived on a planet to help some scientists with their bug problem.
Taking its inspiration from the arcade classic Super Pang (also called Super Buster Bros) from 1990, the result is a chaotic, fast-paced shooter.
It throws you right into the action. And, straight away, it’s just bloody enthralling stuff. No messing about. Just get on with it.
Here’s level four to provide a taster of the approach you must take.
How it stands out from other games is the location of the bugs. They mainly emerge from the ceilings of the scientists’ base.
So, you’re constantly aiming up. And must judge where the bugs are going to be as they bounce, crawl, or fly around the screen.
The Bug Catcher is a rather strategic game as a result. It’s not about mindlessly shooting away Call of Duty style.
Timing is the name of the game. Along with utilising your power-ups and abilities at key moments. And it takes a bit of practice to get that right.
The gameplay is engrossing right from the off. And it has a rather fine cartoonish look to proceedings, too. Kind of like Splasher. But without the water. Just bugs.
Chuck into the arcade and single-player mode a co-op option and there’s a lot to get on with.
It’s, frankly, quite a simple game. Run and gun. But with the added strategy elements (and overall furious pace) and it’s a pick up and play type romp.
So, not one you’ll thump 100+ hours into. But as it was £6 (and actually £2 in a Nintendo eShop sale for us), there’s little to argue about.
It’s wild. It’s crazy. And we really bloody like it for its instant accessibility and ability to cram so much into, seemingly, so little.

By Doug Stamm
Oregon has a strong tradition of stewarding our natural resources in a smart, innovative way. We recognize that, while many resources are renewable, none are infinite. Because our children will inherit the legacy of our decisions, it is essential we think beyond the current season or year.
In 1967, Oregon's pioneering Beach Bill established free beach access for everyone along Oregon's share of the Pacific Ocean. Now we have an opportunity to take a similar step to protect our state's territorial waters for future generations through marine reserves, sea sanctuaries that protect the whole web of life and act like ecological savings accounts.
Oregon currently has two marine reserves in place and three more were evaluated by coastal community teams earlier this year. Team members represented a variety of industries and interests – including recreational and commercial fishing, regional ecosystem experts, watershed councils and marine scientists with experiential knowledge of the specific sites and the Oregon coast – because we think that those who live with the day to day decisions of state natural resource policy should be engaged in planning that is vital to our state's economy and quality of life. The teams were under the supervision of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and ultimately their recommendations were scrutinized and unanimously approved by the Ocean Policy Advisory Council in December of last year.
Like saving for retirement, preparing for our state's future is a challenge. With so many jobs and businesses depending on our limited resources, there are no easy answers. But a combination of no-take marine reserves and mixed-use marine protected areas, which allow recreational use and more sustainable harvest practices – like "hook and line" salmon troll and recreational and commercial crabbing but protect bottom habitat from industrial development and net fishing – are a proven solution for increased sustainability. Oregon's are being designed with the benefit of cutting edge science and on-the-ground local knowledge. The smart policy fit should look for opportunities to leverage ocean monitoring jobs, like the new NOAA west coast headquarters. As leaders, we should look for more opportunities to generate more sustainable jobs, both on the coast and inland.
Protecting our territorial sea is the next logical step for a state that has led the way on coastal access. It is also a perfect complement to our efforts to clean up the Willamette River and other waterways throughout Oregon. Our state does not stop at water's edge, and neither should our stewardship – because Oregon's ocean is managed in the public trust for this and future generations.
I have lived in Oregon all my life, and I've seen a lot of changes in our state. What I remember best are the visionary policies we have put in place. I believe marine reserves will help us leave a legacy of healthy oceans for the next generation. It's a very Oregon thing to do.
Doug Stamm is CEO of Meyer Memorial Trust. The trust, established from the personal estate of Fred G. Meyer, is the largest private foundation in Oregon, with current assets of $677 million. It has made nearly $532 million in grant awards – primarily in Oregon – since it began operating in 1982.

Reader Geoffrey writes in with this clever cable decluttering tip for repurposing CD or DVD spindles:
I just discovered a nice re-use of those CD/DVD spindle cases: use them to store cables for your computer. I've just wrapped them in a circle, and then closed the case as usual, and now my cords are all in one spot where i can see what's in there!
Handy! Not only does the spindle work perfectly for this (perhaps with the addition of a twist-tie or something so the cords don't go flailing when you open it up), but it's also a great way to put those old spindles to use without sending them to the trash heap.

General questions about getting started with SilverStripe that don't fit in any of the categories above.

I had some trouble creating folders or uploading content via the CMS, and thought I would post about it here - if this isn't the right place to post it, please let me know.
When I was creating folders, the CMS would register it fine, but the underlying filesystem wouldn't show the new folder - turns out it wasn't creating it in the first place. The CMS should have picked this up but didn't, so that's a bug, but I don't know how to register bugs, so I'll leave that for someone else if they are interested (or let me know how and I'll throw something in the bug register).
Basically my host (I have a Media Temple (dv) account) uses a different username for the apache (httpd) process to the PHP process. Thus, when uploading, apache was doing the work and would create the temporary file in the silverstripe-cache folder, then PHP would come along to copy it to the right folder but wouldn't have permissions to.
For the folder creation issue, again because of the different usernames of the processes, safe_mode was stopping PHP from doing its thing.
Anyway, sorry for the short and not very detailed message, but something to watch out for there.

I think I'm having the exact same problem. Could you tell me, what you did to solve this?
30 October 2009 at 8:55am
No worries, today isn't great though, as I've got an urgent deadline at Friday 3pm NZ time, after which I'm off for a weekend of relaxing. I'll try and remember to get in touch again on Monday, but if I forget, please just reply to this message again and I'll get a reminder.
Also, can you post your obfuscated email address (i.e. something like joelg --at-- woohoo --dot-- c0m), as it will be easier to do this via email - then you can post a response for what fixed your solution once we find it.

A augmentedA word of explanation is in order: this was the first song I sounded out
when I learned to play the guitar two and a half years ago. Sometime after
that, I came across a version of the song in a songbook, which was
significantly different, but by that time I was so used to my version that
the songbook one sounded wrong. The songbook version uses only four chords
for most of the song--Eb, Bb, C minorCm and Ab, which turn into G, D, E minorEm and C majorC in
this key--plus a GbGb (Bb majorBb) on the "Oh" at the end of the second chorus.
Anyway, I hope someone can get some use out of this version (which I think
breaks every rule of chord progressions in the book, but...), and I'll try
to post some more *official* Maniacs in the future.

AN RUADH GHLEANN, 40-44 Main Street, Rutherglen, G73 2HY Tel 0141 613 2370
THE Games had skipped town. No buff athletes striding about the place, no hot weather, and the party atmosphere was draining away fast.
Yup, it was back to earth with a bump. The dame was downcast and she needed a distraction...
What to do? Where could we go?
"Come on, Moll, I've had an idea," I ventured.
"Oh, OK Tec," she moped, staring glumly at her Clyde mascot. "But I'm not really hungry, I'll probably just have a side of fries to keep you company."
Well, at least it got her out of Tec Towers and stopped her looking wistfully at pictures of Tom Daley.
I'd heard of somewhere that opened a few weeks back in Rutherglen and it sounded like it might fit the bill.
I squealed the Buick's tyres to a halt out the back of An Ruadh Ghleann, now open for business at a nice corner spot on Main Street.
The vibe was welcoming and modern, flooded with light and nice and spacious.
The bar was vast and dazzling, which was a good thing, because this was a Wetherspoon's, and that meant we ordered the food there after finding ourselves a table.
The one we found was a roomy booth, and the menu offered a decent range of the usual pub grub and some special offers.
I didn't want to put my emotional Moll under any pressure, so we skipped on the starters and went straight for the mains.
Strange thing. Once she'd seen the menu, she bucked up no end and decided she'd better eat well if she was going to be in optimum condition to travel to Australia's Gold Coast in four years time. Dream on, sheila.
So she picked the surf and turf, scampi and a steak, usually an expensive choice, but let's see what they could do for a very reasonable price, especially as it came with a glass of wine.
I was all over the place, so relieved was I that Toots had got her appetite back.
I got all giddy and ordered the oddball combo of chicken chilli noodles, a side of onion rings, a non-alcohloic cocktail and a pint of Tennants. Call it a panic attack.
Ordering at the bar, I got a nice surprise when the barman asked how the Moll wanted her steak cooked. I asked for medium-rare, trusting that my beloved was back in red meat mode.
The Pinot Grigio and the Tennent's duly appeared on the bar, and then so did my rash choice of a Strawberry Sunrise mocktail, crushed fresh strawberries, lime juice and lemonade over ice. Look, it was delicious, OK? If it ever gets out among my fellow gumshoes that I enjoyed such a wholesome beverage, my reputation will be shot.
Our mains arrived in no time. The chicken chili noodles were fabulous, with lots of zingy oriental flavours, and the onion rings were crispy and more-ish.
I braced myself for the verdict on the surf and turf, which came with fries, peas and grilled mushrooms.
"Wow, Tec!" exclaimed the Moll. "This is great."
The steak was cooked to perfection, charred on the outside, moist and deep pink inside, and properly rested after grilling. The sign of a skilled chef, and amazingly good value along with the juicy scampi and sizzling chips.
We ate our fill, but the warm weather meant we couldn't face a dessert. After all, some of us were deluding ourselves that we were in training for the next Commonwealth Games.
But we made a note to return. An Ruadh Ghleann is a very welcome addition to Rutherglen's Main Street and well worth that sprint to the bar...
Chicken chilli noodles £6.30
Surf and Turf, with drinks deal glass of wine £16.38
Onion rings, £1.69
Strawberry sunrise £2.49, Pint of Tennent's £2

Greta Thunberg, Young Climate Activist, at the Opening of the Climate Action Summit 2019.
Global emissions are reaching record levels and show no sign of peaking. The last four years were the four hottest on record, and winter temperatures in the Arctic have risen by 3°C since 1990. Sea levels are rising, coral reefs are dying, and we are starting to see the life-threatening impact of climate change on health, through air pollution, heatwaves and risks to food security.
The impacts of climate change are being felt everywhere and are having very real consequences on people’s lives. Climate change is disrupting national economies, costing us dearly today and even more tomorrow. But there is a growing recognition that affordable, scalable solutions are available now that will enable us all to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies.
The latest analysis shows that if we act now, we can reduce carbon emissions within 12 years and hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C and even, as asked by the latest science, to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Thankfully, we have the Paris Agreement – a visionary, viable, forward-looking policy framework that sets out exactly what needs to be done to stop climate disruption and reverse its impact. But the agreement itself is meaningless without ambitious action.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres is calling on all leaders to come to New York on 23 September with concrete, realistic plans to enhance their nationally determined contributions by 2020, in line with reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45 per cent over the next decade, and to net zero emissions by 2050.

This chapter covers two closely related types of business letters: complaint letters, which request compensation for problems with purchases or services, and adjustment letters, which are the responses to complaint letters.
Be sure to check out the examples.
For related matters, see the chapter on general business-letter format and style.
A complaint letter requests some sort of compensation for defective or damaged merchandise or for inadequate or delayed services. While many complaints can be made in person, some circumstances require formal business letters. The complaint may be so complex that a phone call cannot effectively resolve the problem; or the writer may prefer the permanence, formality, and seriousness of a business letter. The essential rule in writing a complaint letter is to maintain your poise and diplomacy, no matter how justified your gripe is. Avoid making the recipient an adversary.
Note: Complaints by e-mail may not be as effective as those by regular mail so that option is not included here.
- Early in the letter, identify the reason you are writing—to register a complaint and to ask for some kind of compensation. Avoid leaping into the details of the problem in the first sentence.
- Provide a fully detailed narrative or description of the problem. This is the "evidence."
- State exactly what compensation you desire, either before or after the discussion of the problem or the reasons for granting the compensation. (It may be more tactful and less antagonizing to delay this statement in some cases.)
- Explain why your request should be granted. Presenting the evidence is not enough: state the reasons why this evidence indicates your requested should be granted.
- Suggest why it is in the recipient's best interest to grant your request: appeal to the recipient's sense of fairness, desire for continued business, but don't threaten. Find some way to view the problem as an honest mistake. Don't imply that the recipient deliberately committed the error or that the company has no concern for the customer. Toward the end of the letter, express confidence that the recipient will grant your request.
Note: Adjustment communications by e-mail may not be as effective as those by regular mail so that option is not included here.
Replies to complaint letters, often called letters of "adjustment," must be handled carefully when the requested compensation cannot be granted. Refusal of compensation tests your diplomacy and tact as a writer. Here are some suggestions that may help you write either type of adjustment letter:
- Begin with a reference to the date of the original letter of complaint and to the purpose of your letter. If you deny the request, don't state the refusal right away unless you can do so tactfully.
- Express your concern over the writer's troubles and your appreciation that she or he has written you.
- If you deny the request, explain the reasons why the request cannot be granted in as cordial and noncombative manner as possible. If you grant the request, don't sound as if you are doing so in a begrudging way.
- If you deny the request, try to offer some partial or substitute compensation or offer some friendly advice (to take the sting out of the denial).
- Conclude the letter cordially, perhaps expressing confidence that you and the writer will continue doing business.

The Times Embraces Ideological Rating System - For Conservatives, Anyway
In Friday's "http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/26/us/politics/26hunter.html " target="_self">2nd Republican http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/26/us/politics/26hunter.html ">Enters Race For Presidency," on California Rep. Duncan Hunter's announcement he would seek the Republican nomination for president, reporter Sarah Abruzzese cites Hunter's lifetime rating of 92 from the American Conservative Union, sometimes the Times rarely if ever does with Democratic candidates.
"Mr. Hunter, who has a 92 percent lifetime conservative rating from the American Conservative Union, repeated his opposition to abortion this week, telling thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators here that, if elected, he would not nominate judges who supported abortion."
Similarly, when Republican Sen. Sam Brownback launched his campaign on Saturday in Topeka, Rachel Swarns dug out his ACU rating: "The American Conservative Union, which hails him as one of 'the best of the best' in the Senate, gave him a 100 percent conservative rating in its most recent survey of Congress."
It's good to see the Times making use of the ACU ratings, which are indeed valuable measurements of a politician's ideology. But why not apply it to liberal Democrats like Hillary Clinton (lifetime ACU rating: 9out of 100) as well as conservative Republicans?
From a photo caption that appeared in the July 27, 2004 edition, during the Democratic National Convention: "At the Democratic convention, the Republicans' war room was decorated on Monday with the so-called liberal ratings of Democrats' voting records." A close look at the photo shows four visible printouts on the wall, each reading: "2003 National Journal Ratings" followed by the names of the senator carrying that rating (Sens. Lautenberg, Levin, Clinton and Kennedy).
A Nexis search suggests the Times has applied a rating to a Democratic presidential candidate for 2008 on precisely one occasion, when Jeff Zeleny used the National Journal ratings to mark the liberal voting records of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as well as Republican Sen. John McCain.

Colorado race weekend in the springs was fun and rough all rolled up into one. First off the wife and I were traveling without our racing buddy Jeff this weekend. No big deal, more us time right? Well, The trip down on Saturday was a nice drive and we arrived with the help of the GPS just in time to hit the track running.
This was the first time I had ever been to Wild Rat Raceway and it was set in an amazing desert landscape surrounded by cliffs and the dirt was more sandy than I'm used to. The track was big and looked fast. My kind of track. So I thought! I hit practice for the first time to figure the track out. I ran about three laps and was hitting almost every jump out there. It was going to be fun.
Well, off to my next practice. I ran three good laps and on the forth I shifted into neutral... this caused a small slip up in the corner. Well I thought it was a small slip up. I got back on and took the the track again but this time I noticed that my bike kept shifting into neutral. This concerned me but I headed to the finish line and back to the truck. I instantly start checking the clutch the shifter everything. Well, my ASV lever (I thought the were unbreakable) was broke. I swapped it and found out that practice was over. Cool, I'll just take a ride down the road and check to see if everything is working ok. Well, its not! I only have 2nd gear. Bummer, weekend over before it starts.
Is it over though? No, its not! I had to drop the +25 race but I was able to barrow a bike for my +30 race. The other Wyoming family we knew there let us barrow their Kawi for my race... Life saver I tell ya.
Well, once again so I thought. Race one... Stalled on the start line and had to ride like I stole it to get back to 10th. Second race... disappointing. I got too aggressive on lap one and took myself out... I finished 13th and this gave me an overall 11th place. I was bummed. What makes it even worse, I was probably the fastest guy on the track during this race. I guess you learn and move on right? I know I have the skill and speed now I just have to make better split second decisions to not end my own day.
Now bike is in the shop and hopefully it'll be ready for racing by this weekend. I am currently in 6th in points but I have 80% pf the season left to change this and I only have two tracks left that I've never been to. Lets get-er done!
The nice thing is that my fitness level was great. The heat didn't have a big effect on me this race weekend but I do need to get back at a little strength training. On a side note, my weight is down to 164. This is the lightest I've been since 1999. I owe this to beachbody workouts and Shakeology.
Now, while at the races my wife had a long conversation with her father and he informed us that Shakeology has helped him lose 10 lbs in the last month and is feeling great. This is the only thing he has changed. He now has a ShakeO for breakfast everyday. His energy levels are up and he doesn't seem to crave the junk he used to. This is great news, he has been trying forever.
Well, races this weekend are in Sterling, CO and are the first RMXA D25 Championships. This is exciting and an new opportunity to get off to a good start in a different Championship.

Listening For What Gifted Children Don’t Say
October 8, 2007
Gifted children often talk a lot. Their early vocabulary astounds their audiences and attracts amazed praise. The frequent and extraordinary approval reinforces their verbal skills and, by classical conditioning, causes them to feel intelligent while they’re talking. It’s no wonder they’re often so willing to share their knowledge—sometimes nonstop—with parents, classmates, teachers, and almost anyone who is willing to listen. The confident verbosity of gifted children convinces parents that their children will speak up and ask for guidance when they need it, but too often that is not the case. Sometimes gifted children think they know what their parents do and do not want to hear; therefore, these children will tell parents only certain information and avoid telling them other things, such as their fears.
Gifted children may not always understand themselves as much as their advanced vocabulary suggests. Furthermore, when the pressures of adolescence begin, they may hold back secrets that could astound parents. Because characteristic behaviors of adolescence begin much earlier in our society today, parents may not be prepared and may parent differently than they should. They could assume their children are open with them, when in fact dividing walls are already being erected between children and their parents.
As a psychologist who specializes in the social and emotional needs of gifted children, I often have to listen to what gifted children “are not” saying, so I can determine what they are feeling and how to guide them. As parents, you, too, can tune in to what your gifted children’s words aren’t telling you, if you listen frequently and carefully. The examples below from research and clinical work will sensitize you to what your children aren’t saying directly but may be feeling.
Television news anchor, Donna Draves*, remembers telling her mother she wanted to quit dance lessons because they were becoming boring. She revealed to the research interviewer that she had never before shared with anyone that her reason for quitting was actually that she was no longer the best dancer in the class.
Loss and boy-girl interactions
Sixth grader, Anna Marie*, had recently stopped doing her daily assignments. She told her parents she couldn’t concentrate since her grandfather had died. Her work habits had degenerated at about that time. In counseling, Anna Marie blamed her grandfather’s death for missing work, and she had genuine tears in her eyes as she described her feelings. However, she also repeatedly talked about her first boyfriend and the e-mail he sent indicating that he wasn’t ready for a girlfriend yet. She insisted that the boyfriend episode no longer bothered her, but the frequency of her insistence that she no longer felt rejected told the true story.
1. Sit and listen to your children, daily if possible. A glass of milk can loosen adolescent tongues. Pre-bedtime chats are effective for children who wish to stay awake as late as possible.
2. Really listen. If parents talk too much, children stop talking.
3. Continued negative criticism paralyzes communication. Reserve evaluations for your most important messages.
4. When children describe their friends’ thoughts or feelings, they’re often testing their parents response to their own acts or worries. Answer with caution.
5. Small tears tell you there’s more to what they’ve said than what they’re sharing.
6. When children don’t make eye contact, they may be lying.
7. When children protest that something doesn’t bother them, it could be the thing that is hurting them; for example, what others think, lower than typical grades, not winning a competition, or not being selected for a team or activity.
8. When children refer to something or someone frequently, that something or someone is more important than they’re letting on.
9. When children say they don’t know why they’ve done something, they really might not know or prefer not to tell you.
10. The word “boring” can be a descriptor of a variety of problems, including lack of challenge, fear of challenge, insecurity that others are doing better, thoughts that their teacher doesn’t likes them, or half a dozen other problems.
Children continuously compare themselves to other children in their families, schools, and neighborhoods. They also compare their present feelings about achievements to their past experiences. When they feel more or at least equally successful in their comparisons, they’re likely to feel good about themselves and share their feelings with parents. If they fear being less successful, they may or may not report their worries. Instead, they may use defense mechanisms and bend the truth to protect their fragile self-concepts. In order for gifted children to build the resilience required for leading fulfilling adult lives, they will have to learn to cope with some less successful experiences. Because they have often been extraordinarily successful, coping will not always be easy for them. Parents and teachers who listen to what children say, as well as to what they give clues about but avoid saying, are better able to guide and support them as they develop confidence and resilience.

In this thesis, single and multi-layered graphene films were epitaxially grown on either Si-face or C-face of SiC single crystal substrates. The film growth conditions, such as decomposition temperatures and pressures, and their surface morphologies were optimized. These films were then characterized by using surface analysis tools including SEM, TEM, AFM evanescent wave microscopy and electron educed spectroscopy. In addition to studying graphene decomposed from SiC crystals, carbon nanotube material was fabricated using a floating catalyst technique. These carbon nanotube material was then studied for potential cathode applications in this thesis. Field emission properties of these cathodes was measured and compared between carbon nanotubes grown by the floating catalyst technique and carbon nanotube material fabricated from a super acid solution spinning process. The result found that carbon nanotube material produced from the floating catalyst method supported the highest emission currents. As a result of this research, carbon nanotube field emitters fabricated from this method are now being studied in a wide range of vacuum electronic applications.

BY MIKE HUDSON
Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster is known for running one of the most secretive administrations in recent city history. Freedom of Information Law requests need to be filed in order to obtain even the most routine public documents and high priced consultants reports have been put away in drawers and forgotten about if they are at odds with the storyline Dyster himself has created.
Three very high profile instances that illustrate this obsession with secrecy and a general lack of transparency have also, ironically enough, generated considerable headlines in recent years.
The city’s parking meter “plan,” the probability of do-nothing Buffalo developer Mark Hamister ever actually building a hotel downtown and the chances that Niagara Falls will ever again have a real city engineer have been the subject of countless newspaper stories, and yet no one, it seems, is able to answer the questions raised.
The parking plan passed last week by the city Council will cost $355,193 to buy and install roughly 40 pay stations governing about 270 parking spaces in the city’s hotel and tourism district. When Dyster first talked about parking, this tourism district proposal was referred to as “Phase 1” of a larger project that would have seen meters installed on Pine Avenue and Main Street.
Nobody’s talking about that anymore, but that doesn’t mean the plan has been abandoned.
The meters will cost around $100,000 a year to operate and generate around $176,000 in revenue, according to a 2011 report by the city’s parking consultant, Desman Associates.
Even if that prediction holds up, it will take nearly five years to earn enough profit to pay for the initial cost of the meters.
The Hamister hotel project is another news story that is now old enough to have grown whiskers. Will Mark Hamister actually build a hotel on the land he was offered for a pittance by the Dyster administration?
In 2013, the rush for work to begin was so acute that formerly popular city councilman Sam Fruscione lost his seat after being portrayed in the media as an obstructionist for simply asking whether Hamister had the money to build the hotel.
It turned out of course that he didn’t, and the intervening years have seen the scope of the project scaled back even as projected costs have mushroomed.
What is now planned is an $18 million boxy business class hotel that will now reportedly cost $35 million – about twice the true cost in an apparent fraudulent attempt to escalate the price to get more taxpayer money.
If it ever gets built.
And the woeful tale of Dyster’s adventures in finding a city engineer have generated reams of newspaper copy and, most recently, an advertisement.
Offering a salary of $95,500 a year, the ad – which was placed several months ago – seeks candidates to fill a “Professional engineering and policy influencing advisory level position” that would require a state public engineering license and five years’ experience in heavy highway construction. City residency would be required after six months, the ad states.
Dyster had one city engineer who had no license, another who was let go for not living in the city and a third who was fired after reporting work site safety violations to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
For the majority of his time in office, the city has made do with high priced engineering consultants, who were often Dyster campaign contributors.

Election 2006 Online
The number of Americans using the internet as their main source of political news doubled since the last mid-term election.
The number of Americans who got most of their information about the 2006 campaign on the internet doubled from the most recent mid-term election in 2002 and rivaled the number from the 2004 presidential election year.
In all, 15% of all American adults say the internet was the primary source for campaign news during the election, up from 7% in the mid-term election of 2002 and close to the 18% of Americans who said they relied on the internet during the presidential campaign cycle in 2004.
31% of Americans used the internet during the 2006 campaign to get political news and information and discuss the races through email.
Some 25% of all Americans (or 37% of internet users) say they got information online about the 2006 elections and 10% of Americans (15% of internet users) say they exchanged emails about the candidates. Many people used the internet both ways – for news and for communication about politics. Altogether, 31% of all Americans (or 46% of internet users) say they were online during the campaign season gathering information and exchanging views via email. Throughout this report, we call this group campaign internet users. They represent more than 60 million people.
The growing importance of the internet in political life is tied at least in part to the spread of broadband connections in American homes. From November 2002 to November 2006, the share of adult Americans with high-speed connections at home grew from 17% to 45%. These “always on” internet connections draw people to online news of any kind, political news included.
Relatively young broadband users say the internet is a more important political news source than newspapers.
While television and newspapers still dominate political communication for the majority of Americans, there is now a group of citizens who use the internet more than newspapers. They are relatively young – under 36 years old – and they have broadband connections at home. Some 35% of those in that cohort say the internet was their main source of political news during the 2006 campaign, compared with 18% who cite newspapers. For older broadband users, the internet still seems to be a supplemental source of political information and activity.
A new online political elite is emerging as 23% of campaign internet users became online political activists.
For the first time in our politics and the internet surveys we asked respondents whether they had created and shared political content and found:
- 8% of campaign internet users posted their own political commentary to a newsgroup, website or blog.
- 13% of them forwarded or posted someone else’s political commentary.
- 1% of them created political audio or video recordings.
- 8% of them forwarded or posted someone else’s political audio or video recordings.
In all, 23% of campaign internet users (or 11% of internet users and 7% of the entire U.S. population) had done at least one of those things. That translates into about 14 million people who were using the “read-write Web” to contribute to political discussion and activity.
These internet users are particularly active in every type of online political endeavor and are the most likely group to be accessing all kinds of political material and performing most online political activities more than others. Throughout this report we call this group online political activists.
While mainstream news sources still dominate the online news and information gathering by campaign internet users, a majority of them now get political material from blogs, comedy sites, government websites, candidate sites, or alternative news sites.
Asked where they went online to get news and information about the campaign, the greatest number of campaign internet users cite traditional news organizations or online services that syndicate news from traditional sources, such as wire services. However, more than half of campaign internet users (53%) go to Web sources beyond those that are fed by traditional news media in the United States. The breakdown of where campaign internet users went:
- 60% got news and information about the campaign from news portals such as Google News or Yahoo! News
- 60% got news and information about the campaign from TV network websites such as CNN.com or ABCNews.com.
- 48% got news and information about the campaign from local news organization websites.
- 31% got news and information about the campaign from websites of major national newspapers such as USA Today or the New York Times.
- 28% got news and information about the campaign from the websites of state or local governments.
- 24% got news and information about the campaign from issue-oriented websites.
- 20% got news and information about the campaign from blogs.
- 20% got news and information about the campaign from international news organization websites, such as the BBC or Al Jazeera.
- 20% got news and information about the campaign from websites created by candidates.
- 19% got news and information about the campaign from news satire websites like The Onion or The Daily Show.
- 19% got news and information about the campaign from the websites of radio news organizations, such as National Public Radio.
- 10% got news and information about the campaign from websites of alternative news organizations, such as Alternet.org or NewsMax.com.
- 10% got news and information about the campaign from email listservs.
While most campaign internet users say convenience is a major reason they use the internet, more than half cite the internet’s breadth of information and perspectives as a major reason for their online activity.
For most, the internet’s value lies in its convenience. But many also cite its virtues as a source of information beyond that which is available in other media.
- 71% of campaign internet users cited convenience as a major reason they get political news online.
- 49% said a major reason they got political news online is that they could get information on the Web that is not available elsewhere as a major reason.
- 41%said a major reason they got political news online is that they don’t get all the news and information they want from traditional news sources such as the daily newspaper or network TV news.
- 34% said a major reason they got political news online is that they can get perspectives from outside their community on candidates and issues
- 28% said a major reason the got political news online was to get local perspectives on the races.
Republicans and Democrats were equally likely to rely on the internet – but there were partisan trends in usage of other political news sources.
Republican and Democratic voters were equally likely to say that the internet was their main source of election news (17% among each group). Seen a somewhat different way, the internet news audience for the 2006 race was no different in its vote preferences than the public as a whole.
In contrast, there were notable differences between Republican and Democratic voters in their preferences for other news sources. For instance, Democratic voters were more likely than Republicans to cite newspapers and certain broadcast and cable news operations such as CBS, ABC and CNN as their main sources of news, while Republicans were more likely to favor the Fox cable TV News and radio.

At each community forum, the parents/guardians and scholars were engaged to openly discuss the challenges scholars face at school and at home. From these challenges identified, the participants were further encouraged to examine how they impact a scholar’s academic performance. Challenges noted included the lack of textbooks available at school; scholar illness or the scholar having to care for an ailing family member, resulting in school absenteeism; inadequate moral support from parents; lack of food at home; and low school standards on teaching quality, among others. All these factors contribute to underperformance at school by scholars. WVP Kenya then facilitated a brainstorming session on what actions scholars and parents/guardians could take to help resolve these challenges. Two key pledges made at the community forums were for the scholars to place greater effort and focus in school to improve their academic performance and for parents and guardians to become more involved in their child’s education (e.g. daily monitoring of homework, attending school events etc).
In seeking community input and consensus on what measures to take, WVP Kenya hopes to foster a greater sense of scholar ownership and pride in the Scholarship Programme, strengthened by the care of their family and other community members. Regular community meetings with parents and guardians will be held by both the Bondo and Lugari offices to ensure continued strong communication and support for the scholars.

This is how it works
Visit Luther trees in your neighbourhood and find small hidden treasures.
On our map trees with a Geocache are highlighted blue.
Geocaching is a global treasure hunt for the whole family. The basic idea is to hide a container and to publish the position on the web. There are several kinds of caches. Traditional caches consist our of a container, including a logbook and small items (treasures). A GPS-compatible mobile phone or a GPS-receiver and the information published online will lead you close to the treasure. It is also part of the treasure hunt to let nobody know that you are searching for a treasure.
How do I find
a Luther treasure (cache) ?
See the map of all Luther tree caches. Each location entry contains additional information and a link to geocaching.com / opencaching. There you find the GPS data to the cache. You can also enter the geocaching platforms directly and type in the search term “Luther tree” / “Lutherbaum”.
The GPS data will guide you close to the cache. As soon as you have found the cache you sign in the logbook and leave a note on the Geocache website. With the QR-code on the container you receive further information about the Luther tree.
How do I create
a Luther tree cache ?
After having found a Luther tree in your neighbourhood and collecting information you can create a cache by yourself. Therefor you need a small weatherproof container. Hide the container at the tree or close to it. Create an entry with the GPS position at geocaching.com / opencaching and send further information about the tree to us (link to registration form below).
You can add a text about you and your tree or make a film clip (3 minutes maximum). We publish it on our website as soon as possible. For the cache you will receive a sticker with a QR code from us. This code is linked to the tree-information on our website. You can affix this sticker to your cache.
Somebody from your group should be willing to check on the cache on a regularly basis.

A few weeks ago I watched my first Esther Williams film, Dangerous When Wet (1953). During her heyday, Williams’ brand of swimming adventures were highly formulaic, escapist fare and I say they hold up extremely well in all their wacky aquatic acrobatics. Since then, I’ve been eager to consume more of Williams’ work, including her autobiography. I’ve reviewed my fair share autobio’s in service to this this column, and too often there’s a false vein of friendliness running; a false honesty of blaming others’ for mistakes or just presenting a general “I got along with everybody” vibe. Williams has no fear about naming names and telling it like it is – one of the reasons why most wait till their friends are dead before writing. And yet, despite her honesty, there’s a positivity that never feels false.
Williams moves everything at a steady pace, surprising you from the first chapter where she details trying LSD because Cary Grant recommended it. Right there, you realize this isn’t an autobiography written by someone’s grandmother! Williams briefly introduces her family, the death of her older brother – a trauma causing her to take up the mantle of supporting her family – and being raped by a family friend. None of this is said with pity, but become a lengthy, metaphorical swimming pool for Williams to swim.
The majority of the biography examines Williams’ swimming career, with her unfortunate bypassing of the Olympics due to the outbreak of WWII, and subsequent movie career. You can almost see Williams’ big grin as she writes it all down. Her tone and storytelling capabilities are the autobiographical equivalent of drinking tea with an old friend and having them recount stories. The actress is unbelievably straightforward and candid, too much so at times. (She makes no bones about how fervidly Fernando Lamas chased her, both while they were making Dangerous When Wet and after.) She admits to affairs with Victor Mature and Jeff Chandler, the latter whom she maintains was a “crossdresser,” although from her descriptions he might have been flirting a taste with the desire for to be transgender, a topic then underdiscussed.
Williams always knew her career wouldn’t last forever, a divergence from most stars who couldn’t fathom that their luck would run out. Williams did a lot to diversify her portfolio, including designing a line of swimsuits and swimming pools. She was also a wife and mother and, considering the time period, these are the moments where the book shines. Williams reexamines her life through the benefit of hindsight, and comes to painful epiphanies regarding her husbands and children. Her second husband, Ben Gage, ruined her financially while third husband, the aforementioned Fernando Lamas, is revealed as a possessive cad who, despite Williams’ love for him, isolated her from her children. Williams doesn’t avoid this topic, nor push full responsibility onto her husband. She admits she should have stood up for herself more and doesn’t devolve towards excuses. You have no idea how refreshing it is reading an autobiography where someone admits, without guile or deflection, they screwed up.
There’s much more within Million Dollar Mermaid, such as Williams’ various swimming injuries – usually because the studio assumed she was superwoman – and her interactions with the likes of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. Million Dollar Mermaid is an autobiography told without arrogance by a woman who loved her career and, yes, had her fun, but doesn’t regret it.

A few months ago, the wonderful children's modern classic 'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell celebrated its 30th anniversary. I am of the age group that would have only just missed this enchanting book when it was first published, however it very firmly sits in my Listography of Top 5 Children's Books and I defy any parent of a toddler to resist it. As it has sold over five million copies in the past thirty years, I'm pretty sure not many parents do resist it!
There are a number of different variants of the classic book in the 'Dear Zoo' range, including an Animal Shapes 'buggy' book, a Little Library, a pop-up version, a Noisy Book and even an iPad app, but I want to share two new additions:
Dear Zoo Touch and Feel
This is a brilliant version of the book for the younger child who is still discovering the world through touch. With a range of different textures throughout, the materials definitely help to make it more of a sensory book to explore. (RRP £7.99)
The Dear Zoo Activity Book
This activity book (priced at £3.99) has a huge range of activities which I feel are best suited to children aged four years and over. The activities encourage fine motor skill development through dot-dot and follow the line, and for the younger reader there are sticker activities. However quite a lot of the activities involve some degree of reading or writing which children younger than four are almost certainly not capable of. For someone who has treasured the book then this won't daunt them.
I was sent these products for the purpose of this review. My opinion is honest and unbiased.

Praise the Lord!
Our gratitude is overwhelming…Thank you to the engineers and working guys at the Slide who beat the schedual, thank you to all the officials for whatever role they played.
Hey CalTrans, one more thing….the poor slugs that sit on Hwy 92– two-three hours per day– may not even get this good news…How about spreading the word on all the printed signs and new electronic boards that give the number of minutes to and from Hwy 280 & Hwy 1….
…And one last thought: If on August 4 there is a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Slide’s reopening– in addition to the smiling bureaucrats and politicians– PLEASE make sure a couple of commuters are represented at the ceremony, too.
(Photo: Commuters raring to go when the Slide reopens).
P.S. Re-opening of the Slide is a headline story in the San Mateo Times

On Capitol Hill, gleeful Republicans blast Obama and Democrats
By Perry Bacon, Jr.
After loudly opposing the Democratic agenda while locked in a virtually powerless minority for the past year, Congressional Republicans declared themselves vindicated Wednesday by the surprising election of Scott Brown to the Senate in traditionally Democratic Massachusetts.
"Well, the American people have been speaking," said Rep. Candice Miller (R-Mich.) at a news conference by House Republicans. "They spoke in August. 'Mr. President and the majority: Can you hear us now?' The American people spoke in Virginia: 'Mr. President, can you hear us now?' The American people spoke in New Jersey: 'can you hear us now?' And they certainly spoke last night in Massachusetts: 'Mr. President and the Democratic majority, can you hear us now?"
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said Massachusetts voters had "rejected the arrogance" of Washington. Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) called for Democrats to "scrap their government takeover of health care." Miller blasted Obama as "the most partisan president that America has ever seen."
"For nine months, I've talked to you about the political rebellion that's been brewing in America," said House Minority Whip John Boehner (R-Ohio.) "It manifested itself in August at town hall meetings around the country. We saw it manifest itself in what happened in Virginia and New Jersey back in November. And we saw it manifest itself again last night in Massachusetts, when the people of Massachusetts stood up and said, 'enough is enough.'"
Republicans said they would look to reach compromises with Obama and congressional Democrats on health care and other issues. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said of Democrats, "we're prepared to meet them in the middle." Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, emphasized that his party was eager to discuss with Obama how to move forward when the president attends the annual House GOP retreat next week in Baltimore.
But Brown's victory could in truth embolden the party activists outside of Congress, who have strongly opposed almost any compromise with Democrats.
"Jim DeMint said health care was Barack Obama's Waterloo," Erick Erickson, a prominent conservative blogger on the site RedState, wrote of the South Caroline senator. "Yup. And the people of Massachusetts delivered the decisive blow."

What is Haloperidol?
Is haloperidol similar to Xanax?
Haloperidol and Xanax belong to different drug classes. Haloperidol is an antipsychotic medication and Xanax is a benzodiazepine-type anti-anxiety drug. Side effects of haloperidol and Xanax that are similar include tiredness/fatigue, drowsiness/sedation, changes in weight, dry mouth, and constipation.
Is haloperidol a sedative?
Haloperidol is another butyrophenone which is used commonly as an antipsychotic and sedative agent, but has antiemetic effects through D2 antagonism.
Is haloperidol a narcotic?
f we reported our clinical observation of the apparent usefulness of haloperidol as a non-narcotic analgesic for the alleviation of cancer pain.
What are the main side effects of haloperidol?
Haloperidol may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- dry mouth.
- increased saliva.
- blurred vision.
- loss of appetite.
Is haloperidol used for anxiety?
In the parameters tested in this study, haloperidol has been shown to be more effective than diazepam in the treatment of anxiety neuroses and appears to provide significantly better overall symptomatic relief and to be more acceptable to patients than diazepam.
Which is better Haldol or Seroquel?
Core tip: This Comparative study showed that quetiapine when used in the doses of 12.5-75 mg/d is as effective as haloperidol in the doses of 0.25-1.25 mg in management of delirium. The effectiveness of both the medications was similar in adult and elderly (? 60 years) patients.
Is haloperidol used to treat depression?
Haloperidol is also used to treat acute psychosis. Abilify is also used to treat bipolar disorder, irritability associated with autistic disorder, and it is used with other medications to treat major depression in adults. A brand name for haloperidol is Haldol.
Is haloperidol a sleeping pill?
Haloperidol is a medication used for treating people with psychosis that can be taken by mouth or injected. As well as being an antipsychotic (preventing psychosis), it also calms people down or helps them to sleep.
Is haloperidol used for pain?
While it has been traditionally used for the treatment of psychosis, haloperidol has also been used to treat nausea, vomiting, migraines, acute psychotic agitation, neuralgiform facial pain, post- and intra-operative pain, and cases of gastroparesis (616).
Who should not take haloperidol?
You should not use haloperidol if you are allergic to it, or if you have: Parkinson’s disease; or. certain conditions that affect your central nervous system (such as severe drowsiness, or slowed thinking caused by taking other medicines or drinking alcohol).
Can haloperidol cause memory problems?
Haloperidol is a classic antipsychotic drug known for its propensity to cause extrapyramidal symptoms and impaired memory, owing to blockade of striatal dopamine D2 receptors.
Why is haloperidol used in palliative care?
Haloperidol is a butyrophenone derivative and dopamine antagonist. It is commonly prescribed for nausea, vomiting, and delirium in hospice/palliative care. Its use in delirium occurs despite little placebo controlled evidence that antipsychotic medication changes the natural history of delirium.
Is Haldol the same as Abilify?
Are Haldol and Abilify the Same Thing? Haldol (haloperidol) and Abilify (aripiprazole) are antipsychotic drugs used to treat psychotic disorders like schizophrenia.
How long does haloperidol take to work?
6. Response and effectiveness. Haloperidol is absorbed quickly but it may take a few days to a few weeks for psychotic symptoms or symptoms of Tourette syndrome to abate. The maximum effects are usually seen within four to six weeks.

ACA trained expert witness was hired by injured plaintiff to prove a claim against a summer camp. Again, camp money is used to train expert who then is used against the camp.
State: New York, Supreme Court of New York, Richmond County
Plaintiff: Marvin Staten, an Infant Over the Age of 14 years by his Parent and Natural Guardian Cassandra Dozier and Cassandra Dozier, Individually
Defendant: The City of New York, The New York City Department of Education, Camp Chen-A-Wanda, Inc., Louis Cintron, Sr., Louis Cintron, Jr., an infant over the age of 14 years by his Parent and Natural Guardian, Louis Cintron, Sr., Barbara Rose Cintron and Louis Cintron, Jr. an infant over the age of 14 years by his Parent and Natural guardian, Barbara Rose Cintron, Defendants
Plaintiff Claims: Negligent supervision and maintenance of the premises
Holding: For the defendant Camp
American Camp Association (ACA) trained expert witness used ACA material to try and prove the summer camp was liable for the injuries of a camper. The summer camp had passed the duty to control the kids to the school district that had rented the camp and as such was not liable.
To be able to sue for emotional damages under New York law, the parent must have financial damages also. Lacking that, the mother’s claims were dismissed.
This ruling is the result of several motions filed by different parties and can be confusing.
The minors were at a summer week long football camp. The camp was rented by the defendant New York Department of Education. The camp, Camp Chen-A-Wanda, Inc., was located in Pennsylvania.
The plaintiff was looking through the cabin window where he was bunking to see if anyone was messing with his stuff. The defendant minor punched the plaintiff through the window, injuring the plaintiff with the broken glass from the window. The plaintiff’s expert identified this action as horseplay?
At his deposition, plaintiff testified that shortly after dinner on the date of the accident, he was standing outside his cabin, looking in through a window to “see if anybody was messing around with [his] stuff” when, after a few seconds, defendant Cintron “punched [through] the glass”
The defendant minor had been disciplined before by the school district for fighting.
There was a written agreement between the Defendant Camp and the school district, where the school district agreed to provide one adult (person over age 19) per cabin. In the cabin where the incident took place, the supervisors were two seniors, one of whom was the defendant minor.
The agreement gave control of the people at the camp, including campers to the school district renting the facilities.
This is the decision concerning the various motions.
Analysis: making sense of the law based on these facts.
The camp filed a motion for summary judgment arguing:
(1) it owed no duty to supervise plaintiff or to otherwise protect him from horseplay; (2) no facts have been adduced in support of plaintiffs’ claim that the subject window constituted a “defective condition”; and (3) since the proximate cause of the accident was the sudden, unanticipated independent actions of Cintron (i.e., punching the glass), the Camp cannot be found liable for plaintiff’s injury.
The plaintiff argued the camp was negligent and negligent per se. The negligence per se claim was based on a regulation that required safety glass to be used in windows of bunkhouses. The plaintiff also argued the camp was negligent for failing to exercise risk management and supervise the campers.
I’ve never seen a claim that it was negligent to fail to exercise risk management.
The expert hired by the plaintiff had “44 years in the camping industry and a co-author of the American Camp Association’s ‘2006 Camp Accreditation Process Guide’.” However, the court found the testimony of the expert was conclusory and insufficient to raise a question of fact.
…”conclusory testimony” offered by plaintiff’s expert was “insufficient to raise a question of fact as to whether [the Camp] breached its duty to maintain [its] property in a reasonably safe condition in view of all the circumstances, including the likelihood of injury to others, the seriousness of the in-jury, and the burden of avoiding the risk” and, further, that the failure of plaintiff’s expert to quote any “authority, treatise [or] standard” in support thereof rendered his ultimate opinion speculative and/or “unsupported by any evidentiary foundation…[sufficient] to withstand summary judgment.
The basis of the plaintiff’s expert witness testimony was based on the 2006 American Camp Association Accreditation Process Guide. However, he failed to demonstrate how, where or when the guide had “been accepted as an authoritative reference work in any court of law, or its applicability to a camp constructed in the 1940s.”
The court also found the expert witnesses reliance on the building codes was misplaced because the camp had been built thirty years prior to the creation of the building code.
The court then stated, “the Camp’s motion for summary judgment is granted, and the complaint and any cross claims as against this defendant are hereby severed and dismissed.”
The court then looked at the cities (New York’s) motions. The court found the duty to supervise the youth was contractually assumed by the city in its contract with the camp. The school also had knowledge of the propensity of the defendant minor to get in fights.
In this regard, actual or constructive notice to the school of prior similar conduct is generally required, since school personnel cannot be reasonably expected to guard against all of the sudden and spontaneous acts that take place among students on a daily basis
The it was foreseeable the fight could occur.
The plaintiff’s mothers claim against the city were dismissed.
However, it is well settled that a parent cannot recover for the loss of society and companionship of a child who was negligently injured, while a claim for the loss of a child’s services must be capable of monetarization in order to be compensable. Here, plaintiff’s mother has offered no proof of the value of any services rendered to her by her son. As a result, so much of the complaint as seeks an award of damages in her individual capacity for the loss of her son’s services must be severed and dismissed.
The defendant camp was dismissed from the lawsuit. The mother’s claims were dismissed from the lawsuit because she could not prove actual damages, only emotional damages, which are not a cause of action in New York.
So Now What?
Here again an ACA trained expert witness tries to use ACA material to prove a camp is negligent. The expert would have been successful if he had better training as an expert witness and knew had to get his guide into evidence.
There are great organizations doing great things for their membership. ACA is one of those organizations. However, like others, the attempt to help their membership be better is making their lives in court a living hell.
What would you think if the person sitting across from you being deposed or on the witness stand says you are a crummy operation and negligent. And you know that your association money went into training him and creating the documents he is using to prove you were negligent.
The final issue is many states are reducing or eliminating who can sue for emotional damages when they witness or are relatives of the plaintiff. Here New York has said you can’t sue for emotional damages for the injury your child received if you don’t have financial damages in the game also.

JUDGES: [*1] Present: HON. THOMAS P. ALIOTTA
OPINION BY: THOMAS P. ALIOTTA
DECISION AND ORDER
[**2] Upon the foregoing papers, the motion for summary judgment (No. 1415-005) of defendant Camp Chen-A-Wanda, Inc. (hereinafter the “Camp”) is granted; the cross motion for summary judgment (No. 1471-006) of defendants The City of New York and The New York City Department of Education (hereinafter “City”) is granted to the extent of dismissing the claims of the individual plaintiff, Cassandra Dozier. The balance of the cross motion is denied.
This matter arises out of an incident which occurred on August 25, 2007 at the Camp’s premises in Pennsylvania, where the infant plaintiff, Marvin Staten (hereinafter “plaintiff”) was enrolled in a week-long football camp with the balance of his high school football team. Plaintiff, who was entering his sophomore year at Tottenville High School on Staten Island, claims to have sustained extensive injuries to his left eye when he was struck by glass from a window pane which had allegedly been broken by a punch thrown by defendant and fellow teammate, Louis Cintron, Jr. (hereinafter “Cintron”). It appears undisputed that the window broke while plaintiff and/or Cintron were engaging in [*2] “horseplay.”
At his deposition, plaintiff testified that shortly after dinner on the date of the accident, he was standing outside his cabin, looking in through a window at eye-level to “see if anybody was messing around with [his] stuff” when, after a few seconds, defendant Cintron “punched [through] the glass” (see Plaintiff’s March 27, 2009 EBT, pp 70-71; Camp’s Exhibit F). No criminal charges were filed against plaintiff’s teammate, who was, however, dismissed from the camp, “cut” from his high school team, and suspended from Tottenville High School following the incident.
The claims against the Camp and the City are grounded in allegations of negligent supervision and maintenance of the premises where the incident occurred (see Plaintiffs’ Amended Verified Complaint, Camp’s Exhibit A, para “Thirty-Sixth”).
[**3] It is noted that prior to this incident, i.e., on February 14, 2006, Cintron had been disciplined by Tottenville High School for engaging in disruptive conduct with another student (see City’s Exhibit I; see also Staten v. City of New York, 90 AD3d 893, 935 N.Y.S.2d 80). It is likewise noted that pursuant to a written contract drawn on Camp Chen-A-Wanda letterhead, dated and signed August 20, [*3] 2007, Tottenville High School coach Jim Munson agreed that “each bunk will be supervised by a coach, former player, or other adult who is at least nineteen years of age” (see City’s Exhibit C). To the extent relevant, the bunk “leaders” supervising plaintiff’s bunk were two seniors, one of whom was defendant Cintron.
In moving for summary judgment, Camp argues, inter alia, that: (1) it owed no duty to supervise plaintiff or to otherwise protect him from horseplay; (2) no facts have been adduced in support of plaintiffs’ claim that the subject window constituted a “defective condition”; and (3) since the proximate cause of the accident was the sudden, unanticipated independent actions of Cintron (i.e., punching the glass), the Camp cannot be found liable for plaintiff’s injury.
In opposition to the motion, plaintiff alleges, inter alia, that not only was the Camp negligent in its maintenance of the premises, but that it was negligent: (1) per se in using ordinary or “annealed” glass for the cabin windows rather than safety glass, in violation of Pennsylvania State and International Building Codes (see June 12, 2013 affidavit of Plaintiff’s Expert, Michael J. Peterson, Plaintiff’s Exhibit [*4] H); (2) in failing to properly exercise risk management, and (3) in failing to supervise its post-season campers and protect them against horseplay. Plaintiff further argues that while Cintron’s actions might be considered “intervening,” his conduct was not a superseding cause of the accident. Notably, plaintiff submits the affidavit of Michael J. Peterson (see Plaintiffs’ Exhibit H), an “expert with 44 years in the camping industry and a co-author of the American Camp Association’s ‘2006 Camp Accreditation Process Guide'” (see Plaintiffs’ [**4] Memorandum of Law), who opined, inter alia, “with a reasonable degree of professional certainty of the camping industry…that [the Camp] should have begun and completed replacement of all non-reinforced glass in hazardous or even marginally hazardous locations within [its] camp with safety impact rated glass, plexi glass (plastic),…safety film, or…reinforced…small gauge hardware cloth wire a full two decades before this accident.” The expert further opined that had these steps been taken, the punch “would not [have] shattered safety impact rated glass, plexi-glass, glass covered with safety film or reinforced glass” (id.).
As previously indicated, [*5] the Camp’s motion for summary judgment is granted, and the complaint and any cross claims as against this defendant are hereby severed and dismissed.
In the opinion of this Court, it is constrained by the 2005 decision of the Court of Appeals in Buchholz v. Trump 767 Fifth Avenue, (5 NY3d 1, 831 N.E.2d 960, 798 N.Y.S.2d 715) to hold that the “conclusory testimony” offered by plaintiff’s expert was “insufficient to raise a question of fact as to whether [the Camp] breached its duty to maintain [its] property in a reasonably safe condition in view of all the circumstances, including the likelihood of injury to others, the seriousness of the injury, and the burden of avoiding the risk” and, further, that the failure of plaintiff’s expert to quote any “authority, treatise [or] standard” in support thereof rendered his ultimate opinion speculative and/or “unsupported by any evidentiary foundation…[sufficient] to withstand summary judgment (id. at 9 [internal quotation marks omitted]; see Diaz v. New York Downtown Hosp., 99 NY2d 542, 544, 784 N.E.2d 68, 754 N.Y.S.2d 195).1
1 The decedent in Buchholz was pushed and fell through an office window after engaging in “play fighting” with three co-workers following their attendance at a St. Patrick’s Day Parade [*6] in 1999 (id. at 4). Plaintiff alleged that the premises’ owner was negligent, inter alia, in failing to furnish shatterproof glass windows and a safety rail across the window’s face in contravention of certain sections of the New York City Administrative Code, particularly §27-651 (“Panels subject to human impact loads”). Plaintiff’s expert, a registered architect and licensed engineer, submitted an affidavit opining that the window’s very low sill was problematic, and further, that “good and accepted engineering and building safety practices dictated that a protective barrier bar be installed” (id. at 6). Nevertheless, the trial court’s denial of the owner’s summary judgment motion was reversed on appeal (see Buchholz v. Trump 767 Fifth Ave., LLC, 4 AD3d 178, 772 N.Y.S.2d 257) and affirmed by the Court of Appeals based, inter alia, on the speculative nature of the opinion of plaintiff’s expert.
[**5] Here, plaintiff’s expert placed substantial reliance on the language of the 2006 American Camp Association Accreditation Process Guide in formulating his opinion. However, although alleged to have been tested “numerous times in litigation”, Mr. Peterson failed to demonstrate, e.g., where or when this guide has [*7] been accepted as an authoritative reference work in any court of law, or its applicability to a camp constructed in the 1940s. Moreover, his opinion that the failure to replace unannealed windows violated certain Pennsylvania codes or statutes is not compelling or binding upon this Court. To the contrary, Peterson’s reliance on 34 Pa. Admin. Code §47.398, to require the use of “safety glass” in bunk windows represents a misreading of the statute, as the provision in question was not adopted until 1972 (some thirty years after the Camp began its operations), and neither it nor any other Pennsylvania building code or regulation has been cited requiring that bunk windows be retrofitted to conform to the 1972 requirements (cf. Buchholz v. Trump 767 Fifth Avenue, 5 NY3d at 9). Moreover, he failed to show that the window in question was actually in a “hazardous” location for purposes of the cited codes, i.e., within 24 inches of the bunkhouse door. In fact, no measurement was provided. “Although noncompliance with…a customary practice or industry standard may be evidence of negligence, the failure to abide by guidelines or recommendations that are not generally-accepted standards in an [*8] industry will not suffice to raise an issue of fact as to a defendant’s negligence” (Diaz v. New York Downtown Hosp., 287 AD2d 357, 358, 731 N.Y.S.2d 694, affd 99 NY2d 542, 784 N.E.2d 68, 754 N.Y.S.2d 195 [citations omitted]; see also Ambrosio v. South Huntington Union Free School Dist., 249 AD2d 346, 671 N.Y.S.2d 110). This, similarly to Buchholz, is just such a case2.
2 Also worthy of note is the Camp’s uncontroverted representation that no similar incidents (other than, e.g., windows broken by vandalism) occurred during its sixty-year history (see February 3, 2010 EBT of Craig Neier, Camp’s Exhibit C).
The City’s cross motion for summary judgment is granted in part, and denied, in part, as hereinafter provided.
[**6] In arguing for dismissal of the negligent supervision claim, the City argues that (1) it provided more than enough chaperones at the training camp, (2) issued oral and written instructions against the type of conduct which caused plaintiff’s injury; (3) the sudden, spontaneous and unforeseeable nature of defendant Cintron’s actions were such that no reasonable amount of supervision could have prevented the injury, and (4) it had no prior notice of the latter’s propensity to engage in the type of conduct that caused plaintiff’s injury. Moreover, [*9] the City maintains that it did not legally own, occupy, or control the Camp; that Cintron’s independent and spontaneous actions breached any chain of causation connected to the condition or maintenance of the camp and/or its cabin windows; and that it possessed no actual or constructive notice of any dangerous condition regarding the composition of the window itself.
In opposition, plaintiffs argue, inter alia, that the lack of supervision which encouraged the horseplay causing the injury is evident by the City’s failure to (1) place an adult in each cabin, as required under plaintiff’s interpretation of the terms of its contract with the Camp (see City’s Exhibit C); (2) adhere to the Regulations of the Chancellor governing adult supervision on school trips (see City’s Exhibit D), and (3) comply with American Camp Association standard HR-10A and 10B regarding the supervision of campers (see June 12, 2013 affidavit of plaintiffs’ expert, Michael J. Peterson, “Opinions 1”).
Here, the duty of supervising the student/athletes was contractually assumed by the City. In determining whether the duty to provide adequate supervision has been breached in the context of injuries caused by the acts [*10] of fellow students, it must be established that school authorities had sufficiently specific knowledge or notice of the dangerous conduct which caused the injury. Put simply, the third-party acts must reasonably have been anticipated (see Brandy B. v. Eden Cent. School Dist., 15 NY3d 297, 302, 934 N.E.2d 304, 907 N.Y.S.2d 735; Mirand v. City of New York, 84 NY2d 44, 49, 637 N.E.2d 263, 614 N.Y.S.2d 372; [**7] Shannea M. v. City of New York, 66 AD3d 667, 886 N.Y.S.2d 483; Doe v. Department of Educ. of City of NY, 54 AD3d 352, 862 N.Y.S.2d 598). In this regard, actual or constructive notice to the school of prior similar conduct is generally required, since school personnel cannot be reasonably expected to guard against all of the sudden and spontaneous acts that take place among students on a daily basis.
Here, the proof of Cintron’s 2006 suspension for fighting at school serves to preclude the City from demonstrating prima facie that his designation as bunk “leader” was reasonable as a matter of law (see Staten v. City of New York and Camp Chen-A-Wanda, Inc., 90 AD3d 893, 935 N.Y.S.2d 80; see also September 16, 2009 EBT of James Munson, pp 16, 33, 39-42; the Camp’s Exhibit E). Neither is Coach Munson’s investigation purportedly uncovering a conflicting version of the events in which the breaking of the glass [*11] is attributed to plaintiff “put[ting] his face” against it (see EBT of James Munson, p 54) sufficient to warrant dismissal of the cause of action pleaded on behalf of the infant plaintiff.
However, it is well settled that a parent cannot recover for the loss of society and companionship of a child who was negligently injured (see White v. City of New York, 37 AD2d 603, 322 N.Y.S.2d 920), while a claim for the loss of a child’s services must be capable of monetarization in order to be compensable (see DeVito v. Opatich, 215 AD2d 714, 627 N.Y.S.2d 441). Here, plaintiff’s mother has offered no proof of the value of any services rendered to her by her son. As a result, so much of the complaint as seeks an award of damages in her individual capacity for the loss of her son’s services must be severed and dismissed.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, that the motion for summary judgment of defendant Camp Chen-A-Wanda Inc. is granted, and the complaint and any cross claims as against this defendant are hereby severed and dismissed; and it is further
[**8] ORDERED, that the cross motion for summary judgment of defendants The City of New York and The New York City Department of Education is granted to the extent that the cause(s) of action asserted [*12] by plaintiff Cassandra Dozier in her individual capacity are hereby severed and dismissed, and it is further
ORDERED that the remainder of the cross motion for summary judgment is denied.

This spring, 13 CCV students were pleasantly surprised when they found out they’d be receiving a $1,000 scholarship for being outstanding leaders.
“I was really surprised when [my advisor] Jennifer said that I had been chosen to receive this scholarship. I thought, ‘wait, what? me?’” said Maija Chamberlain, a peer mentor at CCV and a volunteer at the Charter House Coalition in Middlebury.
CCV’s 2019 Leadership Scholars are about the most humble group of college students you could find.
“If my life can inspire somebody else, then I guess I did a good job,” says Maija.
“I don’t see myself as much of a leader, just a community member,” says Cassey Kellner-Bourdeau. “Someone who works with others and helps everyone build themselves up to the best that they can be. That’s my goal anyway.” Cassey is an orientation leader and volunteers for events at CCV-Morrisville.
“When I opened the letter for the scholarship the first thing I felt was so much happiness. And then right after that I thought ‘I don’t deserve this, there are so many wonderful students at this school that contribute so much and help so many people in so many ways. Why do I deserve this? What makes me special?’” Winter Jackson serves on CCV’s Academic Council and teaches Sunday School at her local Unitarian Universalist church.

Last week, Maija, Cassey, and Winter joined ten of their peers at CCV-Montpelier for the annual Leadership Scholarship Luncheon with president Joyce Judy. The scholarship is given to one student from each academic center who goes above and beyond to make a positive impact in their classrooms, at their centers, and in their communities.
Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees chair J. Churchill Hindes welcomed students and their families to the lunch and award ceremony. Hindes, who has held leadership positions in health care, education, and government over the course of his career, calls himself an “accidental leader.” He said that at pivotal moments throughout his life, he’s been “tapped on the shoulder” and asked to take on new responsibilities, new challenges, and new opportunities—despite not always feeling prepared. “Someone tapped me on the shoulder, like you’ve been tapped on the shoulder. As you’re looking ahead, open your life to surprises.”
That message resonated with students.
Betsy Trucott is a student at CCV-Newport. She says she started college at UVM in 2007 and didn’t think she’d ever get the chance to go back to school. But when she arrived at CCV, “I hit the ground running and I put myself up on a higher standard. I have just pushed myself to do the best that I can do. And then [my advisor] Cindy tapped me to start helping others.” In addition to her studies (she’ll graduate in June with a STEM degree), Betsy works as a Job Hunt Helper at Goodrich Memorial Library, is a tutor for English and math, and is a peer academic mentor for the Post-Secondary Readiness and Engagement Program, a college preparation program for first generation students in the Northeast Kingdom.
T.K. Lahey, a student in Brattleboro, feels like he used to be an “accidental leader.” But at CCV, people around him “starting pointing out to me the qualities that made me a leader….I wanted to nurture those qualities.” Now he considers himself an “intentional leader.” Today, he says, “I lead mostly with my heart…I care about how the other students do success-wise…That’s really what leadership is to me is just showing other people their own qualities and helping them nurture [them] and achieve the things they want.”
Amanda Reed has been working at Our Place Drop-In Center in Bellows Falls since 2012. She said she’s been “tapped on the shoulder” repeatedly: after a year as a volunteer at Our Place, she was offered a job in the kitchen; a year and a half later, she was promoted to a job in the office; today, she’s the head case manager.
For Cheryl Barratt, who started taking classes in St. Albans in 2016, being a work study student at CCV has resulted in a huge growth curve. “In 2016, I would not be up here speaking to anybody. I’d be hiding in the back…But through all the classes I’ve taken and everything else it’s really brought me forward as a person. Just being out there and thinking ‘what’s next, where can I go from here?’”
CCV’s dean of students Heather Weinstein thanked the students for their contributions and challenged them to keep inspiring others. “I think it’s clear that all of you are going to continue to be tapped on the shoulder, because you have tremendous gifts that you bring to the world…I thank you for all that you do to tap other students on the shoulder. I encourage you to continue to do that as you grow in your careers and in your communities.”

I’m still alive and kicking! Still happy with hubby. Just nowhere near enough kinky stuff going on in my life to be able to write about. Heaps of fantasies, just not much action! Oh well.
I do miss writing though, so very very much. So I’m officially open for requests – send through your fantasies by email or comment, and I’ll see what I can do. I’ll only write what I feel comfortable with of course.

5 reasons why UWA College is your best route to The University of Western Australia
Want to study at a university that has it all? The University of Western Australia (UWA), in the world top 100*, could be what you’re looking for: strong industry links, first-rate graduate employability outcomes and one of the most beautiful campuses you may ever see.
It sounds too good to be true. But studying at this world-class institution is achievable thanks to UWA College. Here are five great reasons why UWA College is your best route to a degree at UWA:
- guaranteed place**
- tailored academic programs
- expert academic staff
- personalized support
- access to UWA facilities.
1. You’re guaranteed a place at UWA**
There’s a place at UWA with your name on when you study a UWA College program. You just need to meet the minimum course entry requirements and any other selection criteria set by UWA.
If you study the UWA Foundation program, you could progress to the first year of any of UWA’s undergraduate degrees. That’s an impressive choice of over 350 majors, so there’ll be a subject right for you.
Or maybe a UWA College Diploma suits you. There are programs in commerce, computer and data science, engineering or science which all prepare you for entry to the second year of an undergraduate degree at UWA. Choose this program and you’ll complete your degree in three years – the same as domestic students!
2. Study a program designed for international students
UWA College is the perfect preparation for undergraduate study. Programs here are designed with the university and tailored to international students’ needs. This means that what you’re learning is approved by UWA and prepares you for university.
You’ll develop the study skills to succeed at UWA and improve your English language skills, if needed.
Malaysian student Shu Wen explains how her experience studying the UWA Foundation Program helped her to learn useful academic skills: “UWA College has a ‘think-out-of-the-box’ curriculum that provided me with the tools I needed for university, such as exposure to referencing, navigating my way around the Learning Management Systems of the university, and classes that promoted critical thinking skills”.
3. You’ll learn from expert academic staff
It goes without saying that the teachers at UWA College are experienced and knowledgeable. But they also understand the challenges of studying abroad, so know how to help you adjust to your new learning environment.
With class sizes kept to a minimum, you’ll benefit from more personalized support from your teachers. Academic liaisons are also available to guide you. They’ll monitor your progress and help with any academic questions you may have.
Talking of her UWA College teachers, Shu Wen says, “We were lucky to have teachers who gave us advice and guided us through getting ready for university life at UWA”.
UWA College’s expert academic staff use similar teaching methods to the lecturers at university, so you’ll start preparing for your degree from your very first class. Science-based classes are taught in UWA’s laboratories, so you’ll even get an advance taste of the university’s high-tech facilities.
In fact, with UWA College’s Diploma in Engineering, you’ll even study alongside first-year UWA engineering students in your final trimester!
4. Receive tailored support from day one
As far as life events go, moving to a new country to study is a pretty big deal. But UWA College has got you covered.
Got a question about airport pickups, accommodation or your university application? Whatever you need, the Student Services team are there for you, every step of the way.
UWA Foundation Program student Isabelle from Malaysia felt welcome from the day she arrived, explaining “the staff at UWA College are super supportive and made us international students feel at home”.
UWA College is there for you around the clock with their 24-hour telephone helpline for emergencies. And if you’re under 18, there’s a bespoke U18’s team at UWA College providing extra care and support to help students settle into life in Perth.
In the week before your studies start, you’ll take part in an orientation program. This is another way that UWA College helps you to settle in with sessions to get to know your new teachers, fellow students and the learning environment.
Isabelle adds, “during Orientation, the programs were well thought out and the UWA College community were really friendly and cheerful”.
5. Be part of the campus community
One of the (many!) great things about UWA College is that you’ll become a university student from the moment you arrive.
You’ll be attending classes at UWA College, a modern, purpose-built student hub in the center of all the action at UWA’s Perth campus. Overlooking the buzzing Oak Lawn, an outdoor space to relax with friends, and near the Guild Village, the social heart of the student community, it’s a great location to experience all that campus life has to offer!
Discover the best spots on campus before you start your degree. Access the university’s range of fantastic facilities, from the award-winning library, the state-of-the-art gym and on-campus art galleries to cafés, 160+ societies and more.

Recently a patent was registered for newly-designed tights made of the materials used in manufacturing bulletproof vests. They are durable in grade enough for putting them on up to 50 times.
The American textile company Sheerly Genius presented the most durable tights in the world. They are extremely durable due to the ballistic fibers used in manufacturing bulletproof vests. During testing people used all subjects causing damage of regular tights in everyday life, such as Velcro, rings, nails, wood splinters. The material used for tights production is 10 times stronger than steel. Its fibers do not break even under the strong stretching.
One of the most urgent problems in the modern world is the growing number of waste. New tights will reduce its volume, and this is one of the major initiatives of the startup. The project’s developers explained on the Kickstarter crowdfunding service’s page that annually the total cost for tights purchase is about $8 billion in the world. You wear the regular tights once or twice and then threw them in the trash because the material they are made from tend to break quickly. Sheerly Genius pantyhose test results showed that they can be worn up to 50 times. Due to the special structure of the fibers, they are soft to the touch and demonstrate antibacterial protection.
The Kickstarter service crowdfunding campaign will run until the end of March 2018, but the project has already raised the planned amount of funds. Now its creators aim to get 1 million dollars for further development. The first batch of tights can go on sale in November this year. The developers plan to modernize the equipment for collected funds. At the moment the prototypes tights are produced in the United States and Canada. The company’s specialists are working on expanding the assortment, which currently includes black-colored tights only.
See the video below for subtitles:
Recently, scientists are actively working to create materials that will allow getting rid of disposable items (often made of plastic), almost immediately falling on the landfill of waste. Recently one company presented biodegradable pregnancy test approved by the FDA Department. The second company launched the straws from algae that can be eaten for its intended purpose use. Where else can you apply new materials to finally be done with a huge dump of plastic waste?

Sometimes as moms we feel so alone (except why is it that I am never alone in the bathroom?). And yet it seems that often we are all thinking along the same lines. I am thankful that this blog and others give us the chance to share the things that we might not otherwise.
All around the net, moms are sharing similar sentiments about Lent. Here are a few to check out:
Eileen’s family made the crown of thorns Kat mentioned.
Also, Dawn has a really beautiful Lenten Craft planned for her family, perhaps something to file away for next year, when I hope to be back in maintenance mode (although around here we call it the plateau). Of course, with the best of intentions I told the children that next Christmas, when I was not pregnant, I would take them around the city to see the decorations, and Merry piped up “what makes you think you won’t be pregnant next Christmas?” I guess she’s been paying attention.
And, on the subject of our title, I share this quote I found on Danielle Bean’s website:
A mother is the most important person on earth. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any Cathedral — a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. — Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty
Melin agrees, I’m sure, and writes about the contentment that she feels in her role as mother. Her pictures always take my breath away, I wish she could follow me around and photograph my life!

PIPPIN, the story of the knight in search of meaning and truth, comes to Shea's on Tuesday, January 26 and runs through Sunday, January 31. After the Buffalo tour, the great Priscilla Lopez (from the original A CHORUS LINE) will leave the show. Also on stage, John Rubinstein, the original Pippin, now takes on the role of King Charles (Charlemagne). So it's a chance to see "Broadway Royalty" but only for six days.
SPEAK NO EVIL, the premiere of a play by Sonya Sobieski, directed by Neal Radice at the Alleyway Theatre (right next door to Shea's) presents a dystopian future where people can only say nice things. It's up Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 through February 13.
FREUD'S LAST SESSION starring David Oliver and Matt Witten is at Road Less Traveled through February 14. ORDINARY DAYS, a musical presented by O'Connell & Company is at The Park School through February 21. RING OF FIRE is at Musicalfare through February 28. There's a SHORT PLAY FESTIVAL at Niagara University Theatre this weekend only (call 286-8685). And VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE by Christopher Durang is at Lancaster Opera House through February 6.
And, one night only, Monday, January 25 at 7:30 at the Alleyway Theatre, it's BUA SINGS!, a musical revue, hosted by Jimmy Janowski and Kerry Kate Abel.

I’ve enjoyed watching the UIL division championship games from Arlington this week as I proceed on the time-bending activity of dubbing past championship games from VHS to DVD and ruminating on games I covered during the 1980s and ‘90s. I’ve seen myself on tape a couple of times, and on Thursday I caught a glimpse of a youthful Jerome Solomon at the San Antonio Roosevelt-Flower Mound Marcus game in 1994. I even had a couple of Brian McTaggart sightings.
I was particularly intrigued by the Refugio-Cisco game in Class 2A, in large part because of the controversy surrounding accusations that Refugio ran up the score against outmanned opponents. The Bobcats scored 855 points in 14 games and played their starters through three quarters of each quarter, even when the game was safely in hand.
ESPN aired a feature on the team and its coach, Jason Herring, on Friday in which opponents described Herring as being a bully and without honor for running up the score.
I am not unfamiliar with high-scoring teams. In 1975, my first year out of college, the one thing you didn’t want to do on Friday nights at the Tyler Morning Telegraph was to get the Big Sandy game on the phone. This was during the days of manual typewriters, and it wasn’t much fun taking a scoring summary on the Wildcats in 1975, when they outscored opponents 824-15 in 14 games with a team led by all-state running back David Overstreet, who later played for the Miami Dolphins, and defensive lineman Lovie Smith, now head coach of the Chicago Bears. I typed a lot of “Overstreet 53 run, Overstreet 25 run, Overstreet 85 run” that year.
I also am not unfamiliar with Refugio. In 1987, I selected Refugio as the preseason No. 1 team in Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine. It was a good pick. Refugio that year scored 577 points in 14 games before battling Groveton to a 0-0 tie in the semifinals and advancing 5-2 on penetrations (this was before the UIL allowed overtime). The Bobcats were led by Willie Mack Garza, who entered the championship game with almost 4,000 total yards and 55 touchdowns, two short of the Kenneth Hall’s record.
Refugio advanced to the 2A title game against Lorena, whose featured players was future Baylor running back John Henry. It was one of three games played that weekend at Memorial Stadium in Austin. In 3A, Cuero beat McGregor, 14-6, with a 213-yard performance by Robert Strait, who would go on to finish only behind Hall on the state career rushing list. Unfortunately, he did not have success in college or the pros, so his name has been forgotten by most high school fans. But he was a good one.
In 5A the next day, Plano beat Houston Stratford 28-21 with the help of two touchdowns by Craig James. No, not that Craig James. It truly was one of the great coincidences of our time that Plano had a player named Craig James who played in a state title against Stratford, where the Craig James you’ve heard of led the Spartans to the state championship in 1978 – against Plano, no less.
The 2A game turned into a defensive struggle, in part because Garza entered the game hobbled by injuries. He scored once, placing him one TD behind Hall’s record, but that was it. Lorena won an 8-7 upset, scoring with 1:33 to go and going for the two-point conversion and the victory. (I lost another No. 1 team that night when Bremond beat Wheeler, 23-21, for the Class A title on a field goal as time expired.)
I thought about the 1987 Refugio team’s disappointment Friday while ruminating on the 2011 team, which squeaked out a 36-35 win over Cisco. It took 24 years for Refugio to win a title by the same one-point margin by which it missed out on the 1987 championship. Interesting coincidence, no?
I understand Herring’s rationale in playing his players through three quarters in blowouts, since Refugio needed every ounce of experience it could muster to beat Cisco. Still, I wonder if there’s a more humane way to deal with blowouts other than running the clock without stopping during the second half, which Refugio did in several of its regular-season blowouts.
In six-man, as many of you doubtless know, there’s a 45-point rule that takes effect at halftime. If a team leads by 45 at the second of the second quarter or goes up by 45 at any point in the second half, the game is over. Do you think there should be a 45-point rule in 11-man high school football?
If nothing else, it’s food for thought while watching the Saturday games. As I said, it’s enjoyable to watch the games at a central site and to see everything from A to 5A on television. But I don’t think I will ever get used to having 10 11-man champions rather than five. This is the 22nd year of two champions in 5A, so you’d think I would be over it by now. But I’m not. I still regret the violence that has been done to the record book by so many years of having 2-8 and 3-7 teams making the playoffs and having two champions, which has never seemed logical to me. Oh, well.
