Digby Jul 11 2009, 07:13 AM QUOTE(andante_in_c @ Jul 11 2009, 08:11 AM) QUOTE(Digby @ Jul 11 2009, 08:07 AM) I was thinking the other day, I'm sure when I was younger that the AB were the same that you got the certificates later than the results, am I imagining this? No, you're right, I'm sure. I still miss the colour coded certificates: black print for a pass, green print for a merit, red print for a distinction. Blimey, I dont remember that I did get a special certificate though for passing grades 5,6,7 and 8 in annual successions, did anyone else get that? sorry Violinia, I've digressed from the topic a bit here. Alicia Ocean Jul 11 2009, 07:22 AM I've always had my Trinity results the same day. Often just an hour after the exam. I do make a point of booking the last day of the session and often the final time slot. The results are left with the representative as the examiner leaves the building for the last time in that session. Our representative waits until the car is out of sight. Sitting in the waiting room for an hour at the end with a group of excited teenagers has become a regular feature of the exams. The certificates usually take a few weeks. It's the result we're waiting for, and the crit sheet - not the certificate. Clari Nicki1 Jul 11 2009, | ID | ID DF | 743,419 |
to Holman for making the majority of their Bibles with sewn bindings -- we appreciate it). The cover itself is genuine cowhide leather, which in my opinion is just as nice as many of the calfskin Bibles on the market. The font is very easy on the eyes in regard to size. It is a different font character than I have seen in other Bibles. It is different than the font in the original HCSB Minister's Bible, but it appears to be the same font utilized in the HCSB Study Bible. I like it. It gives it less of a "bubbly" look that the original edition's font had. Christians are unique when it comes to Bibles. There is a large segment which does not want to see any variation between Bible translations (font, format, translation theory, etc...) so I don't know how this will effect potential customers. I like that this is a black letter text. The truth is that there was no such thing in the original letters. A black letter text forces readers to recognize that every single word in the Bible carries equal inspiration and weight. The text is in a paragraph format with a single column of text. I prefer this layout of the biblical text. It allows you to focus on the text at hand rather than all of the visual noise on the rest of the page. It does feature the textual notes at the bottom of the page which is very a useful | OP | OP OB | 629,099 |
On 31 August 2012, Tom Holland responded to the many complaints Channel 4 had received with regards to his recent documentary "Islam: The Untold Story" [1]. He made a number of points in his defence and the most important of them will be addressed below. Holland's words will be in bold italics and our response will follow his statements. He stated in his response: 'The origins of Islam are a legitimate subject of historical enquiry...' We agree and this legitimate enquiry should continue. We applaud and appreciate the efforts of any sincere, honest and objective scholar in this regard. In fact Muslims were the first people to scrutinise their own historical tradition and came up a systematic method to do so: ilm ul hadith (the Science of Hadith). Thousands of early Muslim authorities have put a tremendous amount of time and effort to ensure an unadulterated authentic transmission of the prophetic tradition to subsequent generations. We invite Holland to pay more attention to the science of Hadith and a number of works have been written in the English language for him to peruse. 'We were of course aware when making the programme that we were touching deeply-held sensitivities and went to every effort to ensure that the moral and civilizational power of Islam was acknowledged in our film, and the perspective of Muslim faith represented, both in the persons of ordinary Bedouin in the desert, and one of the greatest modern scholars of Islam, Seyyed Hossein Nasr.'

Hi, If you are homeless or formerly homeless, come chat with thousands of us from around the world in the Homeless Forums . Beyond the Homeless Myth People who don't have shelter are houseless - not homeless! Homelessness has nothing to do with a lack of shelter. Define Homeless: 'An inadequate experience of connectedness with family and or community,' (Dominic Mapstone). This fact is now recognized by Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme. If the problem was a lack of shelters for the homeless why aren't all the homeless shelter always full? During winter they are more busy but more shelters won't solve the problem. So often on the street I've seen people shake a set of keys with a big smile on their face saying 'I've got a place.' But often they end up spending most of their time on the streets anyway because they just don't know anyone else other than other homeless people and an empty room is very lonely. Homelessness is about a lack of connectedness . Belonging somewhere is about belonging with other people. Like belonging to a family or local community. The largest social demographic in first world countries that experiences homelessness are actually elderly people who are houseful. Quite often their spouse has died and their children live at a distance. They feel the same loneliness and abandonment as the person living on the street. People in institutions including prisons or juvenile justice centres often feel the same loneliness or more accurately | IN | IN DT | 408,580 |
The Flicks Interview: Wayne Blair, Director of 'The Sapphires' A hit at this year's NZ International Film Festival, Aussie flick The Sapphires opens in cinemas this week. Based on a true story and set to a soul music soundtrack, The Sapphires tells the tale of four Aboriginal women in the 60s who are discovered by a talent scout (Chris O'Dowd, Bridesmaids ) and form a musical group that travels to Vietnam to perform for troops. Director Wayne Blair was in town recently and he sat down for a chat about the film with Flicks' Dominic Corry. FLICKS: Congratulations on the film -- the response has been great at festivals. How does it feel now that it's rolling out to a general audience? Can The Sapphires keep that momentum going? BLAIR: Look, that's the million dollar question. Yeah, I think so. It is an audience film and being in different places like Telluride, Colorado, that was such a different sort of film audience, then we had 2,000 French people. And then the last week was in Toronto we had two screenings I was involved with. It played beautifully in a sense of just people getting into it and at the end, you know, having a little bit of a laugh and a tear. So, look, it's doing well in Australia at the moment, it's nearly made $13 million in six weeks. Wow. It's been out there about a month, right?

perfectly healthy thing. While this may all be very true, when it comes time to conceive, the goal for getting your body into shape changes drastically. Our bodies are designed to specifically carry children through the entire 9-month term, but when we try to erode away the fat and tone our muscles to fit in to today's supermodel figures, we lose the ability to conceive children. The last thing you want to do is to stop exercising altogether, instead simply tone down your routine and avoid muscle-building exercises. Perhaps few other tips on getting pregnant can be as important as knowing not douche after intercourse. We all feel the need to "clean up" after intercourse, but douching our girl parts afterwards can lead reduce our chances of conceiving as well as aggravating any vaginal infections. Instead, let nature take its course and elevate your hips high enough in the air to where the semen can ooze into your vagina closer to the cervix. You will have less mess to clean up and your have also greatly increased your chances of getting pregnant. Try using a pillow or two to lay your hips on for about 20 minutes. Another important tip on getting pregnant that is rarely realized is the importance of the female orgasm. Many of us have grown to accept that only the male orgasm is important for conception, and the female orgasm lacks importance.

go back to the latter. Paul from newcastle: How did he lose the seat to the Greens? He didn't stand as a candidate at the last election. The ALP endorsed candidate (whoever they were) lost, but Tanner did not seek re-election in 2010. He possibly would have won, based on his local approval levels, but the seat has been edging towards the Greens for about a decade - Tanner advised he wouldn't be seeking re-election the day Gillard rolled Rudd (he said that had nothing to do with his decision - you can believe that or not) jmn: 26 Sep 2012 4:57:52pm I agree. I heard Tanner interviewed on RN breakfast this morning and I thought his performance shabby. He claimed to be concerned about the future of the Labor Party but all his comments were a knifing of Gillard. When Geraldine Doogue asked him if he thought Gillard was doing a good job, he said he wasn't going to break his long-standing policy of not commenting on colleagues. Damning by silence in other words. It struck me that Tanner is more concerned to bring down an old opponent, etc than he is about the future of his party. kazann: Pedro: 26 Sep 2012 6:13:07pm You said it yourself 'I used to like Lindsay Tanner'.

teams as well as the Seahawks and Mariners. Anne noted that there is "lots of fan support" in Seattle. The attorney also pointed out she "wouldn't live anywhere else." She said Seattle is beautiful, has clean water, and the people are friendly. Anne's High-Profile Cases After Anne graduated from law school, she launched her legal career by becoming a deputy prosecuting attorney with the criminal division of the King County Prosecutor's Office, specializing in sex crimes. From 1983 to 1988, she gained valuable experience on how to be a trial lawyer. How was this experience? What did Anne learn? The tough prosecutor reflected on her experience. She stated, "I was there for five years. I thought prosecuting was an amazing job. At that time no one talked about sex crimes or child sex crimes. I learned to be a trial lawyer. I learned empathy, about trial, and the difference you can make. I learned about victims and what punishment means and about judgment and reasoning." The trial lawyer added, "I took on a lot of responsibility in my 20's." While working as a prosecutor, Anne came into contact with several high-profile cases, such as the Wah Mee massacre trials. The Wah Mee Massacre was a multiple homicide that occurred on February 18, 1983. The killers, Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak and Benjamin Ng, gunned down 14 people in the Wah Mee gambling club. Both men were charged with 13 counts of aggravated first-degree murder. Ng was convicted of murder and sentence | IN | IN DP | 3,251,569 |

We should be careful not to overstate the case of the dominance of finance. However, it is easy to demonstrate -- as I hope I have done over the course of several essays -- that there has been a secular realignment of forces. The current regime is quite different from the post-war one. A new regime When the interest rates finally went down (1986) and the dollar weakened with the Plaza accord (1985), the rate of profit was finally restored among US manufactures, after having grown only weakly in the recovery from the recession of 1981-82. At this point, it is clear that the political economy equilibrium had shifted irrevocably, for there was no movement to reverse the rise of finance. What had actually transpired was nothing short of a silent revolution marking the birth of financial hegemony. The returns to capital were restored, independent of any acceleration in the underlying productivity and profitability of US firms. The hegemony of finance was only to intensify further and further. Even with the solid revival of the profitability of US manufacturing in 1995 and the tech boom of the late 1990s, finance gained as much as Silicon Valley and US manufacturers and therefore held its ground politically.

president of marketing at IMVU. "The counterpoint to that is, if you want to create everything yourself, that limits the scope and range of the type and quantity of goods," he says. Don't: Underestimate the work ahead. While the virtual goods industry has certainly grown in recent years, it's still a rather nascent technology that requires plenty of research and even consultation by experts. "It's still about building a quality product," says Balfour. "It's just a different marketing model layered on top of that." Try to build it all yourself. Many large companies already possess an arsenal of designers and software engineers to create and maintain their virtual goods market, so if you're going it alone (or even with a few colleagues), it probably wouldn't be wise to take on all the behind-the-scenes work yourself. Balfour suggests enlisting the aid of independent software developers and third-party providers for certain tasks. In order to actually make money from the virtual goods on your site, you must create a form of virtual currency system. This involves establishing a certain payment method -- coins, credits, etc. -- that allow your users to buy items or reach different levels of play or interactivity. IMVU's users, for example, receive 1,000 virtual credits when they pay the real-world equivalence of $1.00, which they can use to purchase a "dance move" for around 600 credits or a piece of furniture for 500.

the very wet seedy core and lob it on the compost. Sweat the courgettes in a pan with some olive oil and sliced garlic until they are very soft, with the lid off so some of the liquid evaporates. This usually takes about 30 minutes. You're looking for them to be soft enough to squash the flesh part with a wooden spoon but still broadly holding together. I use three cloves of garlic and three tablespoons of oil for every kilo of courgettes. Once they have cooled down you can put them in a freezer bag and freeze for 6-9 months. The good thing about this is they are considerably smaller once cooked than they are when they start. Then you can use them as the basis for recipes 3, 4 and 5. 3. Courgette Risotto Having done item one, or having taken the results out of the freezer and thawed it in a large pan, you can make it the base of a risotto. Heat the courgette mix until it is completely hot through. Add 225g arborio or other risotto rice and stir it in. Measure out 900ml of vegetable or chicken stock. It works fine with a stock cube and water if that's all you've got. Add about 300ml of the stock initially and stir in, bring to a simmer and leave uncovered. Check in on it every five minutes to stir and check whether it need more stock added. Keep adding stock until the rice is soft | HI | HI RE | 1,480,471 |

other ways - she shows you how to set a nice table and decorate your house!! I've tried about ten recipes so far - all worked very well and all tasted absolutely amazing. I would particularly recommend the lemon yogurt cake (though I have to turn my oven alot lower and cook it for about twice the time - makes no difference to the finished result however) and the peanut jelly bars (quite simply amazing, but possibly a heart attack in a tin!). On that note, I've found many of these recipes to have far too much oil,sugar, butter, cream and, oh my god salt, to be considered in any way healthy, and I use it about once every two weeks for that reason.

Hi I'm Katie. I am trying to figure out what clan my father's family is in. My grandmother's maiden name was Glass and my father says that we are Cannons and Macclouds. I have only been able to find Irish Cannons, but he says we are Scottish and that he researched it while over there on an extended vacation a few years ago. I really want to get him something in our clan tartan for Christmas, but obviously I want it to be the correct one. I looked on the House of Tartans website, but there was no tartan for Cannon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Just a cursory google search would seem to suggest that the Cannon surname is Irish, Welsh and English - but that doesn't mean someone of that name didn't settle in Scotland at some point in history. The other name is MacLeod - and that name will certainly throw up lots and lots of information, including tartans, chief and other facts! The reality is: you would have to trace your family back to the Scots immigrant to your country. And even then, after tracing him/her back to Scotland - that ancestor may not have been a member of a clan and therefore have no tartan anyway! Lots of Scots were not part of the clan system and have no problem in describing themselves as Scots.

frustration were actually present all along. What you won't find much of is the cynicism, apathy, smugness, defeatism, etc. of more recent times. Whatever is objectionable about some of the people you'll encounter in these selections, at least they had a sincerity about them, a desire to make their society and their world a better place, and a willingness to take action in accordance with their ideals.

Go to your assigned lab or classroom before you teach and examine the physical lay-out of the room. Do you need a key? Where are the light switches? the power outlets? the fan switches? Is there a desk or a podium? Is there an overhead projector or a data projector? Is there chalk or do you need to bring it with you? If you're going to be showing video recordings, is there a way to darken the room (i.e. blinds?)? Is any of the equipment you might need locked away in cabinets -- if so, from whom do you get a key? How many student desks are there? Be sure you obtain a detailed syllabus for the course. If you need to prepare the course or lab outline for your students, be sure to include the following: Full course title and course number. When and where the class meets.

Being SunSmart - Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap It's not hard to be SunSmart. Research has shown that too much UV radiation causes sunburn, which can lead to skin cancer, and those cancers can be deadly. UV radiation can also damage your skin in other ways, causing premature ageing and wrinkles. In New Zealand we are lucky to have clear skies and little pollution, but that contributes to very high levels of UV radiation in our environment. Our weather is also changeable -- a rainy morning may mean we might leave the house without the sun protection we need if the sun comes out later. And even if the sun doesn't come out, and temperatures stay low, UV radiation levels can still be high enough to cause sunburn. That's why you need to be SunSmart, especially during daylight saving months (September to April), and between 10am to 4pm when the sun's UV rays are strongest. And don't forget the children. They most definitely need to slip, slop, slap, and wrap, too. Nearly 80% of lifetime sun exposure happens after the age of 18, so it's important to make sun protection a life-long habit, starting as young as possible. | IP | IP DS | 1,734,757 |
transgression. Dazed Digital: What your first thoughts in designing this space? David Collins: Savile Row represents the need to embrace skills and craftsmanship whilst still provoking change. I was aware of the connection Lee had with Savile Row and I wanted to ensure that I designed a concept with Sarah Burton that reflected this. DD: Do you have any favourite details? David Collins: It was important to respect Lee's legacy whilst recognising the energy of change brought about by Sarah Burton's appointment. I was obviously inspired by Savage Beauty -- but I wanted the obsessions of McQueen; anatomy, nature, fetish, sexuality, to be subtly hinted at in the details of the plaster panels which at first glance seemed conventional but reveal the world of McQueen. DD: What does brand embody for you? David Collins: McQueen never loses sight of beauty in its aesthetics so it was important that the shop should not look too "of the moment" which is why the McQueen pursuit of proportions, detail, execution and craftsmanship is timeless and the art installation is constantly renewed under the curatorship of Sadie Coles who was a friend of Lee and Sarah. DD: You previously worked on the McQ flagship, in Dover Street. Is it rewarding to work across the different facets of the house, creating environments for each?

Google: Words With Acer Had Nothing To Do With A Rival OS, and Everything To Do With The Open Handset Alliance osted on Sep 14th 2012 by Chris Chavez Share This Story Yesterday, we told you guys about the drama between Acer and Google that resulted in the abrupt cancellation of a smartphone launch. According to Acer, Google wasn't pleased with Acer launching a smartphone based on the Aliyun OS, an operating system forked off of Android. Well, today we finally have an official statement from Google, shedding some light on the situation. Google had this to say: "Compatibility is at the heart of the Android ecosystem and ensures a consistent experience for developers, manufacturers and consumers. Non-compatible versions of Android, like Aliyun, weaken the ecosystem. All members of the Open Handset Alliance have committed to building one Android platform and to not ship non-compatible Android devices. This does not however, keep OHA members from participating in competing ecosystems." Ah, okay. It's starting to make a little more sense. It's true that Acer is a part of the Open Handset Alliance and apparently there was some fine print involved that they may have overlooked. It seems Google's concerns stem from their belief that the Aliyun OS is actually a "non-compatible" version of Android (in basic terms), and by releasing a smartphone based on the OS, violates the agreement Acer agreed to when they hoped on board the OHA. To sum it up, if you're apart of the OHA: rival OS | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 220,819 |

Kinsella seems to be getting more influence at the Sun. His girlfriend, looking like a stiff Stepford Wife, opines occasionally on Sun TV about what a great leader Dalton has been. Kinsella had my comment about Mazza quoting him as being a lion tamed by his new squeeze banned from the Sun comment section. Why the Sun has kept him, introduced his girlfriend as a part timer and fired Goldstein is a great question. Wow I can't believe it! Lorrie Goldstein was THE voice of reason and common sense.

Sick -- The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist DVD Review Sick - The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist DVD Review Reviewed by Chris Holt on Nov 2 Rating: 3.5 Rewarding....if you can get through it A touching and disturbing tribute of a true one off Kirby Dick's documentary; Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist from 1997 is getting a re-release due to the fact that 3 particular minutes of somewhat disturbing footage have been added back into the film after being cut by the BBFC upon the film's original release in 2001. Sadly the missing footage doesn't add anything, it's just 3 minutes of some of the most unpleasant behaviour ever captured on film outside of a Jackass movie. Now that comparison is where the humour stops because this film is one of the most unpleasant yet moving documentaries ever made even though it feels oddly unfinished. For those of you who don't know, Bob Flanagan was a stand-up comedian, performance artist and poet who was born with Cystic Fibrosis and given a prognosis of not living beyond his early twenties. Around his teens Flanagan found an interest in sadomasochistic practices and humiliation, in the early 80s he was lucky enough (depending on how you swing) to find Sheree Rose as a partner whose slave he became. Maybe because of his viewpoint and what he preferred to get up to in the bedroom, Flanagan became a minor celebrity and even appeared in an | OP | OP RV | 3,027,146 |
for an investigation of this sort since it allows for the necessary detail in modelling the effects of stressors such as HIV/AIDS on social networks. Unlike conventional epidemiological models that operate on the level of whole populations and therefore concentrate on 'average' behaviour, agent-based models can take the actual behaviours of individuals into account. This is a prerequisite for investigating impacts on social networks and communities. Over the last few years, this has been recognized by the life science community concerned with modelling the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, even though HIV/AIDS is a key concern, its impact in South Africa cannot be examined in isolation of other stressors, such as food insecurity, high climate variability, market fluctuations, and poor governance ( Ziervogel et al. 2005 ). In this paper, we present a model that captures socioeconomic stressors experienced by the villagers in the Sekhukhune district, Limpopo Province, South Africa. The model has been driven by evidence made available, primarily, from our case study team at the Stockholm Environment Institute (Oxford) as well as secondary sources. The nature of this evidence is both quantitative and qualitative (based on the verbal accounts from stakeholders as well as semi-structured interviews). Moss and Edmonds ( 2005a ; 2005b ) have argued for models developed bottom-up, where the available evidence is not ignored for simplicity's sake. We believe a model's purpose in social simulation is to enhance, if possible, our understanding of the underlying problem.

business plan, you can always modify it as you go along, but the act of having it will certainly help over time. 3. Take baby steps It's really important to tackle this in baby steps. Work on a live performance that is either short in length, or minimal in sound, but don't expect to have a long masterpiece off the bat. The act of keeping it simple in the beginning will go a long way in taking things complex later on. 4. Record It's really important to record and document your work as you go along. Without doing this you will never know if you are improving, and you will always be in a stage of noodling around. One of my biggest problems is I will rehearse an idea but forget to hit record. 5. Perform You can't perfect a live performance without performing in front of people.

choice of an account package needs to reflect how much you know and what you expect from trading. You need to be realistic and acknowledge your limitations. Nobody learns how to trade well in a short period of time. When you are starting out, you will want to stay with accounts that offer low levels of leverage. For beginners, a small practice account should be used, as it has little or no risk. Meticulously learn different aspects of trading and start trading on a small scale. A key piece of trading advice for any foreign exchange trader is to never, ever give up. Every foreign exchange trader will have a time when he or she has some bad luck. The most successful traders maintain their focus and continue on. While you may become discouraged, you should continue to move forward nonetheless. Stay committed to watching your activities. Don't make the mistake of entrusting this job to software. Although Forex trading is based on a numerical system, human insight and intelligence is needed to make the best decisions.

stages of their development. Future trends: Social investment and finance is a key trend. Charities can no longer survive and develop with a single form of income so an entrepreneurial flair is increasingly important. Communications is another, with the rapid rise of social media and 24 hour news it's important that a chief executive can understand the context and harness the potential for the people they serve. Conviction, integrity and courage remain essentials but they will only be fulfilled if the chief executive can keep pace. Being entrepreneurial is more a state of mind than an in-depth knowledge of commercial practice. The chief executive will need to have access to commercial skills in the organisation but they don't necessarily need to be experts themselves, just open to the approach. One way to learn more is to watch what others are doing in this area, look at how the leading charities do it. Analyse the way some charities for older people have developed their commercial arms; how organisations like Mumsnet and Netmums have built their online user base and how charities like 4Children have moved into delivering services such as children's centres. Frontline: The desire to be altruistic and make a difference is strong but this can begin to wane for some over time.

a Washington Post article by Vernon Loeb, it was revealed that O'Neill, who died in his capacity as head of security for the World Trade Center, was also formerly the New York FBI Counterterror chief responsible for the investigation into Osama bin Laden. That could perhaps be written off as one of those freak synchronicities. There were the other items - reported quite blandly, in that "there's nothing to see here, folks" tone - that gave me that sinking feeling. Apparently, O'Neill had a falling-out with the Ambassador to Yemen over his investigative style and was banned from returning there. But then there was that other nugget that I had trouble digesting - that O'Neill had resigned from a thirty-year career in the FBI "under a cloud" over an incident in Tampa - and then left to take up the security position at the WTC (only two weeks before!). The seam that shows... For the bulk of his career, like most of his FBI colleagues, John O'Neill was largely unknown to the public at large - respected in his circle, to be sure, yet scarcely meriting much mention in the media - beyond being referenced now and then as an expert on counterterrorism. Yet in the few months leading up to September 11, O'Neill was now suddenly the subject of a series of seemingly unrelated controversies - the first, in July, involving his dispute with the State Department over the conduct of the bin Laden investigation in Yemen; and the | IN | IN RA | 502,811 |

Decency demands an end to all ethanol fuel requirements now By Eric Hovde -- Last year six million children starved to death around the world -- again. On top of this, Worldhunger.org reports that 925 million people went hungry in 2010 worldwide. Anyone who has watched television late at night has seen the commercials for charity organizations showing starving and malnourished children struggling to survive another day in a plea for money to help alleviate their plight. Incredibly at the same time that millions of children are dying from malnutrition worldwide, the U.S. government in its war on fossil fuels has continued to push and promote the growing and burning of potential life-saving corn in our gas tanks. When we pull up to the gas pump and see that the gas has been mixed with up to fifteen percent ethanol, that is corn converted to fuel for your car. This federal government mandate for ethanol use is now coming under fire as politicians react to the rising corn prices resulting from this summer's drought that wiped out one sixth of our nation's corn crop. Governors of seven states have already requested that the federal government's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waive the ethanol mandate as the production of vehicle fuel consumes more and more of the corn crop at the expense of livestock and the hungry around the world. As a recent commentary by Tim Worstall in Forbes points out, "In normal times, it's said that up to 40 percent of | IP | IP ED | 3,194,151 |

If bed bugs can crawl from other apartments, all of exterminators fail, but you will never fail with an innovative method. The video and attached text describes how to build sticky barriers to protect top of bed, tables, chairs, clothes, and shoes. After you heat bedding sheet, pillows, blanket, and clothes you are going to wear in a dryer, top of bed and your body are protected by sticky barriers anytime anywhere at your home. Traditional methods have extremely low efficiency. Chemicals kill bed bugs on contact. The residue is not active. Fogger bomb is useless. DE powder slowly kills bed bugs which bite and lay eggs before dying. The killing speed may be slower than the egg laying speed even though you wash, vacuum, and spray daily. The mattress encasement was developed from one of the worst ideas because a minor design change seals all of bed bugs in a bedroom instead of sealing mattress only as shown in the video. Two factors guarantee to stop bites forever after initial easy effort. 1) You can't find any possible bed bug attacking route. 2) People have proved that barrier method works by sleeping in a bathtub which is too slippery to crawl. Why do experts never think about the sticky barrier method? The | HI | HI HT | 461,862 |

Provided you have normal vaginal health, he should not ever complain about the taste or look of your vagina. If you get close enough and he admits he prefers less hair or something later on, that's different, but don't let him chastise your vadge right off the bat. That's an entitled jerk right there. 5. He should enjoy making you come, even if it is a bit difficult sometimes, because that's a turn on for him and because he cares about your pleasure. 6. IF HE EVER SHAMES YOU FOR ANY REASON, DTMFA. The things we do which are truly shameful, we are aware of and don't need the people who say they love us to make us feel worse. And if he shames you for something that isn't shameful at all (your love for sex, or maybe that you don't act like a "lady" should from his perspective), he's a controlling piece of shit. Similarly, he should be there for you when you feel bad about yourself. 7. IF YOU EVER FEAR HIM FOR ANY REASON, DTMFA. Fear is the opposite of a warm, trustworthy, loving relationship. You should not be afraid of someone who claims to care for you. Dreading an argument, maybe, but if you are ever truly afraid of him, I guarantee it's because he intends it to be that way. 8.

"Do my eyes deceive me or was that Tracey Davis?" asked Blaise in his careful tone. "I don't know. Why?" Draco shrugged. What the fuck did it matter? Blaise shook his head. "We were at her wedding last week, you imbecile." Draco paused as if to make sure that Blaise hadn't been pulling his leg, and then laughed. "That's just too good!" he chuckled as Blaise scowled his usual scowl at Draco's antics. "Wait, you mean the wedding where I fucked the bride before she walked down the aisle?" Blaise looked a bit shocked. "You didn't!" Draco only smirked as Blaise shook his head clearly disgusted. He didn't understand what the man's deal was. He was always harping on about one thing or another and it was really starting to tick Draco off. What was his bloody problem? It wasn't as if Draco had done anything morally heinous. All he'd done was screw someone else's bride and then let her suck him off a couple of days later, not remembering who she was. Draco inwardly cringed. So alright, it wasn't exactly the best thing he'd done in his days, but it definitely wasn't the worst. "It's not like I chased after her," he defended. "She came after me.

and McCoy, 2002: 755). An analysis of entry level data leads the institutional ethnographer to second level data (Campbell and Gregor, 2002), such as texts and policies and/or interviews with policy makers, to explore how participants' lives are socially organized. DeVault and McCoy (2002) describe IE research in a slightly different way, stating that 'the research follows a sequence: (a) identify an experience, (b) identify some of the institutional processes that are shaping that experience, and (c) investigate those processes in order to describe analytically how they operate as the grounds of the experience' (p. 755). IE focuses on textual analysis within social organizations to 'instruct our everyday knowledge of how the world works' (Smith, 1987: 182). DeVault andMcCoy (2002), in their research about how institutional ethnographers conduct their research, state that the researchers consider data 'as raising questions ... the key is to ask, "How is it that these people are saying what they are saying" ... the methodology allows you to go back to a political-economic context for the answer' (p. 769).

a Christian. When he was converted, or why he left Corinth and was now with Paul at Ephesus, is unknown. Why Paul associated him with himself in writing this Epistle is not known. It is evident that Sosthenes was not an apostle, nor is there any reason to think that he was inspired. Some circumstances are known to have existed respecting Paul's manner of writing to the churches, which may explain it: (1) He was accustomed to employ an amanuensis (scribe) in writing his epistles, and the copyist frequently expressed his concurrence or approbation in what the apostle had indicted; see the note at Romans 16:22 ; compare Colossians 4:18 . "The salutation by the hand of Paul," 2 Thessalonians 3:17 ; 1 Corinthians 16:21 . It is possible that Sosthenes might have been employed by Paul for this purpose. (2) Paul not unfrequently associated others with himself in writing his letters to the churches, himself claiming authority as an apostle; and the others expressing their concurrence; 2 Corinthians 1:1 . Thus, in Galatians 1:1 , "all the brethren" which were with him, are mentioned as united with him in addressing the churches of Galatia; Philippians 1:1 ; Colossians 1:1 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:1 . (3) Sosthenes was well known at Corinth. He had been the chief ruler of the synagogue there. His conversion would, therefore, excite a deep interest, and it is not improbable that he had been conspicuous as a preacher. All these circumstances would render it proper | LY | LY PR | 439,137 |

providing empirical evidence for social democracy, the basis to tax the rich mining companies more than ever before in a bid to balance the high level of budget deficit, in post GFC Australia. Whilst GFC is increasingly being ideologically viewed more and more as a direct result of neoliberal policies of governments that have glorified greed and excess to the benefit of a few and to the disadvantage of the majority, Wilkinson and Pickett's work is being embraced as timely in aid of fundamental ideological shifts for the better. In the United States, companies with large executive salaries and directors payouts are being hounded by the Obama administration on behalf of beleaguered shareholders. In a country that celebrates wealth, and publicly proclaims greed is good and the pursuit of ones happiness through accumulation of wealth as noble and honorable, this change in public policy is driven by what society has now come to realize as morally reprehensible some of the avoidable adverse aspects and consequences of greed. Politically, in Australia, the then Rudd (and now Gillard) government has ideologically shifted most of the blame of the financial crisis to the Liberal Coalition Parties' corner blaming them for their policies of encouraging big business and traditionally concentrating wealth in a small percentage of the population. Concentrating the wealth of the nation in the hands of a few is no longer good policy and governments have now been shown by empirical statistical evidence to deliberately shift and spread wealth across the wider | OP | OP OB | 3,298,269 |

Blog Does wind power actually lower emissions, and will having wind on the grid cost considerably more than if the UK well and truly dashed for gas? Skeptic thinktank the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF)'s report ' Why is Wind Power So Expensive? ' has introduced these talking points into the energy debate, and they're often uncritically repeated by wind opponents. This started a backlash in the energy world - we take a look at the counter arguments. Among the claims is the argument that scaling up the UK's wind power capacity, with gas as backup, would cost much more, and result in more carbon dioxide emissions, than if the country invested in new gas plant. "The exchange rate is about one for one: a megawatt hour of wind typically meant the UK grid used one less megawatt hour of gas-derived electricity." This means that when the wind is blowing the grid needs less backup from gas plant, not more, as Hughes claims, - so overall emissions go down. They estimate that UK wind farms currently save about 6.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the course of a year - much the same as RenewableUK has estimated . This is about 4 per cent of the UK's emissions from electricity. This prompted Goodall to post an analysis of this variation . He showed that the National Grid can cope with much more rapid swings in supply and demand than will ever be likely with the UK's current wind | IP | IP PA | 3,070,216 |

Ogopogo egg being rather a brown colour. 1985, summer, Carol Pattenaude relates the following: While driving on Highway 97 from Westbank to Peachland, my boyfriend and I spotted something on the water, the more we looked the more curious we became. The object was moving quite fast through the water and had a long stream behind it, making it look like a tall boat. We watched for a few minutes, talking about what it might be only to have it totally disappear below the surface. What was it??? Signed Carol Pattenaude. 1989, summer, Laurie S. witnessed a long object moving by the log boom at Bear Creek. She quickly called her dog in from the lake for fear of his safety. Jack Hooge and his father relate the following: During the summer of 1990, our Hooge family gathering was at a campground between Summerland and Penticton. I had been looking forward to showing my father a business in Penticton for several years and this was my chance, so early Monday morning him and I headed into town. As we were rounding a small bay, my father said, "Look, there's the ogopogo." Intent on not being distracted from my mission, I glanced and said, "It's a log." He said, "No it's not," so I glanced again. It was moving, so I said, "It must be a wave from a boat." To this my father replied, "Do you see any boats?"

GOP Date With Demographic Destiny By Government Design GOP Date With Demographic Destiny By Government Design Once we pass amnesty , argues Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, "future immigrants will be more open to the Republican Party because, unlike many immigrants who are already here, they won't have been harmed or insulted by Republican politicians ." investors.com By MARK STEYN Posted 11/16/2012 06:45 PM ET Republicans think they're importing hardworking immigrants who want a shot at the American Dream; the Democrats think they're importing clients for Big Government. To an immigrant such as myself (not the undocumented kind, but documented up to the hilt, alas), one of the most striking features of election night analysis was the lightly worn racial obsession. On Fox News, Democrat Kirsten Powers argued that Republicans needed to deal with the reality that America is becoming what she called a "brown country." Her fellow Democrat Bob Beckel observed on several occasions that if the share of the "white vote" was held down below 73% Romney would lose. In the end, it was 72% and he did. Beckel's assertion -- that if you knew the ethnic composition of the electorate you also knew the result -- turned out to be correct. This is what less enlightened societies call tribalism: for example, in the 1980 election leading to Zimbabwe's independence, Joshua Nkomo's ZAPU-PF got the votes of the Ndebele people while Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF secured those of the Shona -- and, as there were more Shona than | ID | ID DF | 3,223,864 |
it comes to the rule of law -- or, the use of force? And what did we learn in the Bush administration on this subject? David, I'll start with you. SCHEFFER: Well, a large question. TOOBIN: Yeah. SCHEFFER: I'll take only a couple of components of it. I think on the one hand you clearly see in the Obama administration a philosophy of some restraint with respect to the use of military force, in terms of the preference of trying to find, when possible, a multilateral buy-in to the use of military force. I think that's the rhetorical framework of what the administration has been articulating. On the other hand, of course, you see how we've continued to respond to threats on Pakistani territory with the use of military force, and that's not with any Security Council buy-in whatsoever. So that issue, I think, is still going to be out there in terms of how the United States occasionally uses and risks using force unilaterally. And the question is for what objectives, and under what legal rationales, and whether it's being done as an openly stated use of force or, frankly, as a no-comment use of force. TOOBIN: Where does Pakistan rank in -- is it a no-comment use of force, or is it an openly stated? SCHEFFER: It's a no-comment use of force at this point, in terms of the use of air power with respect to threats on Pakistani territory.

the great results come, the feeling is truly euphoric, bordering on unbelievable. I not sure if that feeling is a result of the success being a complete surprise to me or if it is actually because it validates that I subconsciously knew the success would come, but whatever the cause, it feels GREAT to have success . I predominantly make money through the site via Google Adsense revenue, and since taking that number 2 position I'm seeing consistent traffic for my main keyword and daily revenue coming in . We're talking 50c-$1.50 per day over the past few days, but as those of us in the Niche Website game know, this business is all about creating a bunch of small websites that each bring in a small amount of money per month. The great thing about Niche Sites is that the money essentially comes in on a passive basis and in my opinion, it's impossible to put a value on passive income . There is something magical about being paid repeatedly for something you did only one time, no matter the actual dollar figure. There is occasional work on the sites required, and that revenue is by no means 100% secure (it's reliant on Google playing fair), but the money is there for the taking once you learn the formula for success. And whilst I don't define success by simply reaching position 2 on Google for a single site, this is a step in the right direction. If you can | HI | HI HT | 3,294,346 |

Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, here by faith in him to dwell; for I know, whate'er befall me Jesus doeth all things well. 2. All the way my Saviour leads me, cheers each winding path I tread, gives me grace for every trial, feeds me with the living bread. Though my weary steps may falter, and my soul athirst may be, gushing from the rock before me, lo, a spring of joy I see. 3. All the way my Saviour leads me, oh the fullness of his love! Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father's house above. When my spirit, clothed immortal, wings its flight to realms of day, this my song through endless ages, 'Jesus led me all the way!' | LY | LY SL | 91,699 |

23 year old Scott King has worked for Kent Children in Care Council and A National Voice's Lilac project and is a member of the Minister's care leaver advisory group with the Care Leavers' Foundation. He has a passion for improving the lives of others. Scott was in care from the age of 6 months. He has also worked in residential child care and is studying to become a social worker. You have been part of a group of care leavers meeting regularly with the Children's Minister for two years. How did that come about and how have you found the experience? The first meeting took place soon after the new Government came into office in 2010. We asked the Minister to come and talk to us about what support care leavers could expect from the new Government and the discussion was filmed for National Care Leavers' Week. One of the first things Tim said to us was that he didn't want any meetings involving young people and service users to be tokenistic. I feel that he was genuine in that respect; he valued the input we had. I have been involved in a lot of meetings where having a young person there was just paying lip service.

Island." That was a walkable environment. SPECK: Well, it had very little to say about urbanity. But the other two, and all the shows on my TV that I was watching were either, you know, fun suburban environments or, you know, "Streets of San Francisco," "Mannix," "Hawaii Five-O," "Dragnet." It was the city but it was one thing: crime. Now, there was one exception, which is Mary Tyler Moore. And it's a strange exception. I don't understand its role. But the reason I bring this up is think about the kids who are moving to cities today - the millennials. They grew up on "Friends," on "Seinfeld," on "Sex and the City"... SIMON: Upper West Side people. SPECK: Yeah, it was all New York. SIMON: They want the diner. They want the coffee shop. But here's the problem: millennials grow up. They start having families and they start looking for more space and good schools. And the problem is in walkable neighborhoods, the real estate gets more expensive. So, for more space they often have to move out of the city. And for that matter, their kids become of school age and they have to look for good schools. SPECK: Well, the question really isn't just who our cities can serve, but can our cities thrive? These cities that currently don't have anyone in them have to start somewhere. And typically for those people schools are not an issue - but they become an issue very quickly. | OP | OP | 3,250,953 |
academics early in their careers, and others with loved ones with cancer. I found little such community on my own campus. I found little such support from my department. I found little such support from my dissertation committee members -- professors that I had considered my mentors. There was never any question, it seemed, that I would continue to teach, continue to write the dissertation, and all the while care take my dying husband and our son. Nobody offered me any alternatives; admittedly I never asked. I couldn't take a leave of absence from school altogether. My family needed the income. My family needed the health insurance. A month later, still in a daze from death and dying, I stumbled back into the classroom to teach. I don't remember anything about that entire academic year. I don't remember what I taught (although my CV indicates I did so). I certainly didn't write a word of my dissertation. Then at the end of that school year, I received a note from my department: I'd used up all my funding and there'd be no more teaching appointments available for me. (I was welcome to apply for positions in other departments.) I got a note from the grad school too: I'd have to finish my dissertation ASAP or apply for a special extension as I was coming up against the seven year deadline to complete a PhD. So I quit.

If you look at the latest approval ratings for Obama, the lowest ever for a standing President in the shortest amount of time, it should tell you something...People are already seeing that the changes that he is implementing are digging our country into a bigger hole of deficit, unemployment, and to a much greater risk of a complete government run society. The only place where his approval ratings are skyrocketing are places like Iran, Syria, Cuba, Palistine and the likes...I'm glad to see American's waking up to the direction our President has been leading us and I pray that God gives him wisdom and leadership skills that will return America to the great nation that we once were, "One Nation Under God" as our forefathers intended.

In his autobiography Itinraire intellectuel (1990) he wrote that in order to spend a substantial amount of time in "militant action" he could devote only a minimum of time to preparing for his university exams. In Paris, Amin joined the French Communist Party (PCF), and associated himself for some time with Maoist circles. Like Samir Amin a young Pol Pot in Paris said, "I joined the progressive student movement. As I spent more of my time in radical activities, I did not attend many classes." In 1957 Amin he presented his thesis, originally titled "The origins of underdevelopment - capitalist accumulation on a world scale". Samir Amin promoted the Dependency theory. Dependency theory predicated on the notion that resources flow from a "periphery" of poor and underdeveloped states to a "core" of wealthy states, enriching the latter at the expense of the former. It is a central contention of dependency theory that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by the way poor states are integrated into the "world system." Many dependency theorists advocate social revolution as an effective means to the reduction of economic disparities in the world system. Samir later advised Cambodian PHD | IP | IP DS | 694,808 |
than the exporting of jobs offshore; more attention than the destruction of our manufacturing sector to the point where we don't really make anything here but lattes and hairdressing appointments; more attention than the disguised unemployment that sees just under two million people wanting to work full time now or in the next four weeks having either no work or too little; more attention than the more than two million Australians who live in a household where no-one has a job.

DAN LASHOF, Natural Resources Defense Council: Over the last few years, you begin to get increased probability of extreme events. You're beginning to get a sense that these are happening more than they used to. And people are beginning to connect that with global warming.

Burning these fossil fuels, he argues, puts greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which trap heat and warm the globe. His opponents object that the risks are exaggerated and any attempt to limit or get rid of oil, gas and coal -which provide 90 percent of our energy - will cause an economic apocalypse, from job losses to recession.
