As CKNW's Sean Leslie reports, Ghuman resigned in a letter to BC Liberal Party President Sharon White, saying: "......I take full responsibility for inviting Mr. Atwal to the budget....the young people I originally invited could not attend....I did not inform the premier's office that I was bringing different guests...it was an error in my judgement, and I take full responsibility for it."
But questions remain about this disturbing situation.
And Vancouver Sun reporter Kim Bolan also reports that Atwal was charged with assaulting former BC premier and former Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh and acquitted of those charges in 1985.
The shocking news that a man - convicted of the 1986 attempted assassination of an Indian cabinet minister visiting British Columbia - was a guest in the BC Legislature for the Budget presentation using an invitation from the office of Premier Christy Clark was bad enough.
|Premier Christy Clark on Global TV News|
But more questions must now be raised - was Jaspal Atwal, the gunman in question - the guest of a Director of the BC Liberal Party - Provincial Executive member Tariq Ghuman?
Ghuman is described on the Party website as REGION 9 DIRECTOR (VANCOUVER SUBURBS SOUTH).
I am reliably told Atwal was the extra guest of Ghuman and accompanied him in Victoria.
Ghuman was also an active supporter of Christy Clark's successful leadership campaign - was Atwal working on that campaign?
And what about Atwal's involvement in a recent judgement ICBC won against him for $28,000 related to what the Vancouver Sun described as a "stolen car fraud ring"?
Clark claims she doesn't even know who invited Atwal:
"I haven't talked to the person who invited him," Clark said. "I'm not even sure with certainty who it was that invited him at this point."
Let's get some answers from Clark, her staff and Tariq Ghuman.
If he did invited and escort Atwal, Ghuman has some explaining to do.
And who else knew about Atwal's past when he arrived at the BC Legislature on budget day?
How many BC Liberal MLAs, government staff and other guests invited by the government knew exactly who he was? | <urn:uuid:a6be489f-999c-4826-8d6d-baf0260f60f3> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://billtieleman.blogspot.ca/2012/02/was-convicted-attempted-assassin-jaspal.html | 2013-05-20T16:05:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699068791/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101108-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977779 | 464 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
The EU Parliament has on several occasions stated that access to the Internet is one of basic human rights. Now, Finland has become the first country to actually declare fast (broadband) Internet access a legal right.
In practice, this means that telecom companies in Finland will be required to provide all Finnish citizens – all 5.3 million of them – with broaband Internet connection of at least 1 Mbps, starting in July.
That’s not all. According to the legislative counselor for the Ministry of Transport and Communications Laura Vilkkonen, the plan is to provide all the citizens with even faster broadband speeds (100 Mbps) by 2015. “We think it’s something you cannot live without in modern society. Like banking services or water or electricity, you need Internet connection,” she said.
This task is easier to achieve in Finland than most other countries, since its broadband penetration rate is among the highest in the world. In the US, the FCC may need as much as 350 billion dollars to expand broadband coverage throughout the country.
This decision by the Finnish Government is in contrast with the often heard proposals (especially in France and the UK, but also – surprisingly – in Finland) about the possible introduction of the three-strikes law, under which illegal file sharers would be disconnected from the Internet after repeated offenses. Making something a legal right doesn’t mean it cannot be taken away, but the government’s stance that broadband Internet access is similar to “banking services or water or electricity” should mean that net access should not be taken away from people lightly, if at all.

[Refer to the main page for additional context.]
Based on discussions to date, everyone seems to have similar ideas about what "supporting git for releng" means. Later posts will highlight the work needed to ensure the ideal can be achieved, and how to arrive there.
For this post, I intend to limit the viewpoint and scope to that of the developer impact. Release notions (such as "system of record") and scaling issues won’t be mentioned here. (N.B. Those concerns will be a key part of the path to verifying feasibility, but do not change the goal.)
As a reminder, I’m just talking about repositories that are used to produce products.
The Ideal Future
The Ideal: In the future, each contributor will be as free to choose their DVCS of choice as they currently are to choose a text editor.
Since that’s a pretty general statement, let me limit it a bit with some caveats that I expect will apply.
- This may only be true at a technical level, as various teams might have social conventions or alternate tooling that will limit DVCS choices.
- Initial planning will be for products that are released via the Release Engineering team.
- The current set of supported DVCS would be hg and git. By supported, I think folks roughly mean:
- an officially supported way get the latest revision of any official branch/repository, without any extra work on the part of the developer.
- an officially supported way to interact with existing Mozilla hosted tools, such as the try server, tbpl, etc.
- an officially supported way to commit from the DVCS, that supports the current commit workflow (and policy).
- There will be support of social coding sites. I think support means providing an officially supported mechanism to keep "current" instances of each official branch in the social coding sites. The goal would be to allow developers to utilize the enhanced services offered by those sites to view, clone, and share work prior to doing an official commit.
- This post will help validate that the above vision has a wider consensus. Please pass this link along and add your comments below.
- Keep an eye on the main page for more material.
|||(1, 2) I’m using "products" to distinquish binaries Mozilla provides to the end users to install on their computers from "services" Mozilla hosts. Product examples include Firefox and Thunderbird. Service examples include Sync and BrowserID.|
|||The rationale for starting with existing products is that is where the majority of our developers work. Additionally, the existing continuous build & test infrastructure will place some constraints on DVCS workflows.

What are they??
I have managed two cheering chapters of Clare Balding's My Animals and Other Family and that's it, but I know the feeling... animals everywhere.
I have done nothing but tug my wellies on and off and do field circuits with the dogs while Bookhound has been away, in between trying to sit at my desk and get my online work hours done... I should be on Puppyternity Leave I think.
And then there is the sort of relay of feeding in order to get the Dowagers and their bowls together without canine interference. One Dowager is fine, having lamped Nell a corker on the nose, embedded a claw and set clear no-nonsense boundaries, Muffy now sits bolt upright assuming the role of a very strict governess and Nell is a completely different puppy, quiet, well-behaved, crawls along on her tummy, no messing.
The other Dowager is most definitely not impressed.
Tess was just coming round to the idea of a Magnus-sized third cat when Nell arrived and that was that. Once the gentlest of cats she has undergone a complete personality transplant and now sits imperiously on the verandah, scowling and most unforgiving, and prefers her food to be brought to her. She has that 'How could you do this to me.. I shall just sit here and starve myself to death' look in her narrowed eyes, and laden with guilt I scurry back and forth with Go Cat and tempting bowls of succulent Felix Tuna in Jelly all the day long. Tess will be the size of a barrage balloon by Christmas.
And historically something ALWAYS goes wrong with major systems when Bookhound is away...always. This time it is the electricity. Off went the trip switch late one evening, pitch black and I trip and stumble my way to the torch and the candles, and then who's moved the matches (me probably).
Then I have to find a chair and peer into the fuse cupboard and decide what's gone wrong where, out of twelve fuses and four big switches.
Huh, no hope.
Out had gone a selection of plug sockets when I finally switched it back on, including the washing machine in mid-cycle, so there is a fault somewhere and we are just going to have to be the great unwashed until Bookhound's return, because I am not messing with any of it. And I am now walking around with a torch in my pocket because I am not going through that again.
But the upside is all this lovely walking around Rocky's field behind the house. Views across the Tamar Valley that take my breath away every single day, and for one circuit we were joined by the gathering swallows dipping and swerving around us as if scoping the lie of the land ready for their return before making their farewells and the off. By the time I had found my camera and dashed back out to capture the fleeting moment, with dozens of them queuing up on the telephone wires, they were gone.
Meanwhile the grass in the field has just been cut for silage so it is now very walkable through and Nell is having a fine time doing Fetch.
Having had working gun dogs for the last fifteen years, throwing anything for the puppies has been absolutely forbidden until they are ready for training, and then you have to throw a special thing a certain way and distance and insist they do it properly. Bah to all that, Nell is a pet so we are allowed, and if she happens to figure out how to chase a pheasant good on her ... just don't tell the Gamekeeper will you, and that pink ball on a bit of rope the best £3 I have ever spent at Tesco's.
Then of course, being a girl, she knows her own mind... and notice sage old Barney, who has always refused to demean himself by fetching anything or bringing it back and now well beyond all this playing stuff. | <urn:uuid:8280f9db-e4b5-4619-9b94-2e36b06c2da6> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://dovegreyreader.typepad.com/dovegreyreader_scribbles/2012/09/nell-does-fetch-then-doesnt.html | 2013-05-20T15:48:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699068791/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101108-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973623 | 820 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Rick Santorum has been one of the more dishonest candidates I’ve seen. Not so bad as Romney, mind you, but his calling himself the “true conservative” and then condemning Newt for the exact same stuff he himself is done is quite hypocritical.
A major difference is that Newt has been so radically right, so historical a figure, a conservative who was the Reagan of the legislative branch, a true, famous, dyed in the wool right winger, that he can move around in the political world and rub shoulders with liberals and not take on the smell.
Lesser mortals, soft, moderate, more ambiguous political types, we don’t trust them so much, especially if we are a conservative who is still trying to figure out who they are, and is still not certain what their politics are, and where their true, internal self, is at.

I've really enjoyed it, much more than i thought that i would have even. Dirk over at the late lamented Journalista gave me all sorts of traffic, and i was really thrilled to have readers in Bosnia, New Zealand, Italy and other spots all over the world. I mean, this one of those times when you say, "This is what the interwebs is all about."
I hope that my archives will continue to amuse someone or another out there. Should time and circumstances permit, I'll reopen the doors and begin again. Perhaps.

I've picked by brain, SAS docs, and Google already. Is there an option

data foo; do i= 1 to 10; output; end; run;
select mean(i) as mean from foo;
select max(i) as max from foo;
select min(i) as min from foo;
...would produce a three page report (clearly this example could be
recoded, that's not an option).
Any way for the three outputs to appear on a single page?

Representative Lamar Smith
What does it take to be an effective legislator in an increasingly partisan Congress?
Yesterday, Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) described for attendees at the annual Forum on Science and Technology Policy sponsored by AAAS (publisher of ScienceInsider) how he
was able to use the art of political compromise to update U.S. patent laws. But so far he's been unwilling to apply the same principle to strengthen
another pillar of U.S. innovation, namely, revising immigration laws to retain more highly skilled foreign scientists and engineers.
Smith said the secret to his successful 7-year effort to pass the America Invents Act (PL 112-29) was an ability to cross party lines and reconcile the
demands of competing constituencies. "Passing legislation requires patience and persistence," explained Smith, who was first elected to Congress in
1986. "While some people compare the legislative process to making sausage, I'd rather compare it to a loaf of bread. Sometimes half a loaf is better
than none, and even a slice beats going hungry." Returning to that metaphor during a question-and-answer session, Smith added, "and sometimes you have
to settle for just a few crumbs." Those legislative skills earned him and patent reform co-sponsor Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) the title of 2011
technology policymakers of the year from Politico.
However, Smith so far has chosen not to take that same approach on immigration—at least in public. In fact, he's used his clout as chair of the
House Judiciary Committee to stymie
proposals from Republicans as well as Democrats that would allow more foreign-born students with U.S. graduate degrees in science and engineering, as well as foreign high-tech entrepreneurs who
create jobs for U.S. citizens, to receive so-called green cards that would allow them to stay indefinitely.
Advocates say the changes would improve U.S. competitiveness by retaining science-savvy immigrants, rather than forcing them to return home, where they
would apply their knowledge to compete against U.S. companies. Over time, those arguments have won over prominent politicians from both parties,
including from President Barack Obama, who has talked about "stapling a green card to the diplomas" of such students.
To date, however, all efforts to tweak legal immigration have been derailed by foes of illegal immigration, who have tarred both issues with the same
brush. In addition, some policymakers worry that opening the door wider would lead to abuses and would take away science and engineering jobs from U.S.
citizens. There is also a debate about whether the changes should be limited to doctoral recipients or include those earning master's degrees, a much
larger pool, and which institutions should be eligible.
Smith didn't mention immigration reform during his brief talk on science and technology in the current Congress, and it wasn't raised by the audience.
But afterwards, in a brief interview with ScienceInsider, he sent mixed messages about his intentions. He said that reform is on the table, but
that he still has serious reservations about how to proceed.
"I'm in favor of doing something, and I hope that we can move a bill, either from Mr. [Representative Tim] Griffin [R-AR] or another member," Smith
said. "I think that it makes a lot of sense to include Ph.D.s—and maybe some with master's degrees. But I don't want it to get out of hand by, say,
letting in everybody who earns a graduate degree from the University of Phoenix."
At the same time, Smith believes that the general public opposes such reforms. He cited what he said was a recent poll showing that "Americans are
against the idea by a margin of two to one." (In January, Gallup released a poll showing that 64% of respondents are
"dissatisfied … with the current level of immigration" and that only 28% are "satisfied.") Smith said that "high unemployment" was the reason for their
displeasure, adding that "there's also opposition in the Senate" to any major reform.
So what's the next step? An aide on the committee said yesterday that "Chairman Smith believes it is premature to discuss [the details of any bill]
since we don't have language yet."
At the same time, an article this week in National Journal paints an optimistic picture. Beginning with a headline that asks, "The Making of an
Immigration Deal?" the article describes how Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who last June introduced HR 2161, "has under lock and key
the draft of a broad compromise immigration bill agreed to in secret by Republican and Democratic negotiators in the last Congress." And it quotes
Lofgren as saying "it was a consensus product that would have worked and still could work."
As he explained at the AAAS forum, Smith knows how to strike a deal when he wants to. He even cited the famous definition of politics, by German
Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, as "the art of the possible." Which raises the tantalizing questions: Was Smith signaling his intention to pursue that
route on immigration? Or was he just giving his audience a civics lesson? | <urn:uuid:1a9edee6-812f-43a8-8387-16a6c3c2368b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/04/immigration-reform-the-art-of.html?rss=1 | 2013-05-20T16:20:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699068791/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101108-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975155 | 1,101 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
‘Bluegrass-y’ string quartet Hot Day at the Zoo coming to Kirkland Art Center
CLINTON — New England’s progressive string band, Hot Day at the Zoo, will be bringing its blend of folk, blues, Americana-infused rock and roll, ragtime and jazz to the Kirkland Art Center Oct. 21 as the band promotes its newest album, Zoograss.
Jon Cumming (banjo, dobro, vocals), Michael Dion (guitar, harmonica, vocals,) Jed Rosen (upright bass, vocals), and JT Lawrence (mandolin, vocals) play what Vintage Guitar Magazine calls “rhythm-heavy bluegrass-y music.”
Dion and Cumming are the band’s two main songwriters. With distinctive personalities, both offer enough stories to fill a catalogue of songs that are whole-hearted and full of sincerity. Add in Rosen, who’s technical prowess allows him to hold down the beat and push the music along, and Lawrence, whose energy and musicianship fuel his strength in fulfilling each song’s missing piece, and the result is a band that creates something bigger than any of themselves.
“Few collectives approach bluegrass with as much gusto and raw energy as New England’s Hot Day at the Zoo,” writes Hittin’ the Note. “[HDATZ] are experimental but they have an understanding of the genre and an unencumbered vision of where they can take the music.”
The show will be at 8 p.m. at the KAC, 9 1/2 East Park Row in Clinton. Tickets are $15 general admission and $12 for KAC members.
For more information, call the art center at (315) 853-8871 or visit:

Ripples was an installation written in chalk on the sidewalk of the 200 block of Page Street in San Francisco for 120 days, one piece per day, from May to December of 1998. As the chalk slowly faded, the text seemed to slowly walk down the sidewalk, then disappear.
The text itself was gathered from conversations, letters, and journals over the previous four years, chosen for the "ripples" of thought or perspective it created.
1 - All of my life my father told me how whenever he got to feeling too big for his britches,
his grandmother would say, "Whenever you want to know how important you are, go stick
your finger in a bucket of water and see how big of a hole it leaves." Something about
the story bothered me for years, until finally it came to me and I said, "Yes, but watch

26 - People always say they feel like they lost something, and I always feel like I picked something up, like something's stuck on the bottom of my shoe. Maybe they dropped it.

For those iPad owners looking for a task management app, there’s a great wealth of choice out there. However, many are nothing more than glorified to do lists, something that has recently been usurped by the Reminders app that now comes with iOS5.0. Next! has been around for a while now but it has come into its own courtesy of this latest release, providing a comprehensive task and project management tool for those desperate to be more productive.
Priced at $9.99, Next! is a more expensive offering than many other productivity apps but it’s worth it. Combining all the elements that could possibly be of help, Next! has things adequately covered.
Upon opening the app, the minimalist approach does take a little adjustment to master. Fortunately, a simple tutorial explains most of what’s needed to know plus there’s the choice to download a useful and informative user guide. Items are divided up into specific categories: Actions, Projects, Goals and References. Each of these can then be linked together, much like a major task would need to be.
It all makes for an ideal interface for those who like to break up major projects, whether life related or work based, into bite sized chunks. Progress bars throughout and some, ever satisfying to mark, tick boxes are available too. Reference material such as documents related to these goals and tasks can be imported and linked up to the relevant action, thus creating a streamlined approach to managing projects.
It’s the kind of app that might not sound like the most exciting product in the world but it is very useful. Half the battle to achieving things is being able to manage them in a way that’s productive, Next! does exactly that. It’s intuitive and attractive to use right from the start with swipes quickly getting users from side to side of their projects.
The only down side to the app is the lack of sync functionality. Something like DropBox or Google syncing would have been useful in order to back things up safely. Email facilities doesn’t fulfil that role as well. Hopefully in a future update, iCloud functionality will be added.
Despite the lack of backup facility, Next! is still a very useful app. It was a smart move to combine so many great elements of different To Do list apps and project management tools. In no time, users of the app will find it their lifeline to figuring out what they need to be doing and by when.

Colorado governor to potheads: 'Don't break out the Cheetos'November 7, 2012
The reason is that marijuana is still a controlled substance under federal law, raising all sorts off issues for how Colorado and Washington, the other state where voters decriminalized the recreational use of marijuana Tuesday, will implement their initiatives.
“The voters have spoken and we have to respect their will,” Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) said after the vote. “This will be a complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug, so don’t break out the Cheetos or goldfish too quickly.”
In both states, adults aged 21 and older will be allowed to possess a small amount of marijuana, which will be sold in only state-licensed stores where it will be heavily taxed. For the most part, pot could not be consumed in public. In Colorado, the amendment also allows people to grow a few plants at home.
Dr. Kevin A. Sabet, former senior drug policy advisor to the Obama administration and director of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida, suggests these results could portend a growing weed war between the feds and the states.
“Once these states actually try to implement these laws, we will see an effort by the feds to shut it down,” Sabet said. “We can only guess now what exactly that would look like, but the recent U.S. Attorney actions against medical marijuana portends an aggressive effort to stop state-sponsored growing and selling at the outset.”Read More... | <urn:uuid:dc9960dc-e755-4a85-9a61-157cc9b258cd> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.blacklistednews.com/Colorado_governor_to_potheads%3A_'Don't_break_out_the_Cheetos'/22448/0/38/38/Y/M.html | 2013-05-20T15:57:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699068791/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101108-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952774 | 341 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

If no one knew who you were, what would you say? Twelve best-selling, critically acclaimed authors answer this question with an anonymous collection of no-holds-barred, entirely original stories.
The Secret Society of Demolition Writers is the literary equivalent of a whodunit, featuring an eclectic group of fictional characters. The cast includes a delusional schizophrenic narrator, an egg donor with second thoughts about her decision, a pharmacist who forms a weird crush on a woman who beat both of her parents to death, and a little girl who understands that an old safe is the threshold to another, ghostly world.
Equally diverse and surprising are the authors themselves: Aimee Bender, Benjamin Cheever, Michael Connelly, Sebastian Junger, Elizabeth McCracken, Rosie O'Donnell, Chris Offutt, Anna Quindlen, John Burnham Schwartz, Alice Sebold, Lauren Slater, and Marc Parent, the editor of the collection. Taking a cue from a demolition derby Parent visits every summer, he realized that if a group of talented writers could approach their work with the same anonymous abandon that the derby racers drove with, they could create works of fiction they've always dreamed of. Without the weight of reputation -with no names attached to their work -the writers are free explore and improvise. The result of Parent's idea is a group of reckless, smashing stories that have never been published before -the stories these writers have always wanted to tell.

Montgomerie vows to qualify for Troon
Colin Montgomerie vowedMonday to qualify for the Open Championship in his home town of Troon after changing his mind about taking part if he didn't automatically qualify.
He said: "There are a few ways to go and I'll be trying my damnedest to get in through Loch Lomond and also the European Open.
"If that doesn't happen, there is qualifying down at Sunningdale and I think I'll go down there."
"It's a bit of a problem really, I haven't had this problem for about 13 or 14 years."
And he indicated that he had every intention of going through qualifying at Sunningdale if necessary.
"I might as well," he said. "It would be crazy not to.
"There are 12 spots and I should manage to get a place in the top 12, so I will see what happens.
"I know the course and it would be nice to play there, especially having lived there.
"But if it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out. I might get back in next year."
"It will come back again - there is no question of that," he added. "It is just a case of when."

For a Miami entrepreneur, uniform describes both a product line and a lifestyle
Lely Barea glides along Eighth Street in her maroon Mercedes. It's 8 a.m., and the owner of Ibiley Uniforms is on the way to her second meeting of the day, this one at the company's West Miami store. Suddenly, the book-sized purse lying beside her on the seat begins to chirp. Barea unzips it and pulls out a Nextel cellular phone. "This is Lely, 10-4." Switching to the Nextel's two-way radio mode and holding the phone to her mouth like a CB handset, Barea talks in rapid-fire Spanish to her human-resources manager, Carlos Nuñez, at headquarters.
By the time Barea, 38, pilots her rolling office into a strip-mall parking space 10 minutes later, she has spoken to headquarters twice (in Spanish) by radio and delivered a stern lecture (in English) by cell phone to her pattern maker on the importance of treating customers well. By the end of the day she will have used the radio at least 20 times, mostly to talk operations with her managers but occasionally for something as mundane as telling her husband, whose car she is trailing, that he's made a wrong turn.
Lely and Eddy Barea, both born in Cuba, launched Ibiley in 1990. The company's first customers were public schools that elected to use uniforms; later Ibiley sold to private and Catholic institutions. Then, in 1995, Dade County adopted mandatory uniforms for public-school students, and the business rapidly grew to $7 million. The Bareas moved some of their manufacturing operations to Santo Domingo two years ago and opened their own warehouse, cutting room, and corporate offices. They now own six stores in the Miami area and are launching a nationwide wholesale business.
Lely Barea, who oversees design, manufacturing, and distribution (Eddy handles marketing, sales, and finance), is big on personal communication: in other words, she's a meeter. So every other week she flies to Santo Domingo to talk personally with her plant managers. When she's not traveling, she's holding daily tête-à-têtes with her Miami store managers, always before opening or after closing time.
Despite the fact that every minute of her day is filled, Barea is scarcely ever late for appointments, largely because she plots each week in advance on her Sharp Zaurus digital assistant, assigning a set amount of time for each activity and refusing to let it take longer. In her pursuit of accurate scheduling she's carefully calculated the best routes to all the places she normally visits in all types of traffic. She's even able to control how long it takes her to get dressed in the morning, thanks to a closet organized with military precision. (Clothes are arranged from left to right by category--tank tops to short-sleeve shirts to long-sleeve shirts--and by color--white to pastel to dark.)
One Monday in May, Barea is up at 5 a.m., in the office at 6, sitting down with the manager of her Little Havana store at 7, and at a café sharing café con leche and guava and queso pastries with her West Miami store manager by 8:30. Before each meeting she consults the electronic file she stores on her organizer for that particular manager: the files contain copious notes for and about her employees, and Barea makes more notes throughout each conversation. At 10 she leaves for Miami's Miracle Theater to spend an hour chaperoning her youngest daughter's field trip. (The Bareas have four children, ages 7 to 17.) The afternoon will be filled with--among other things--a visit to her mother's clothing factory, where some of Ibiley's samples are made, and a few hours at headquarters preparing spreadsheets for summer staffing.
At 8 p.m. Barea finally comes to rest at Dave and Buster's, a casual restaurant where she and Eddy are dining with their banker. Even though she's been going for 14 hours straight, the strain doesn't show on her face until the cell phone, which she has laid on the table in front of her, calls out once more for her attention. Barea picks it up, and everyone at the table can hear the tiny voice bleating out, "Mommy, when are you coming home?" "Christina, this is Mommy, 10-4," says Barea, soothingly. "I'm in a meeting. I'll be home in a little while."
She disconnects, but then Eddy's phone starts to beep. It is family time, and her children are impatient for their pre-bedtime attention. Lely Barea calls for the check.
Here are some of Barea's tricks for staying on top of things:
1. KEEP IT UNIFORM. What sounds like a slogan for Ibiley Uniforms is also the watchword on which Barea orders her life. She's an apostle of standardization (her corporate idols are Walt Disney and McDonald's), so the Bareas have designed their stores to be identical, right down to the location of the pink highlighter pen on each cash register. Barea has also equipped all 24 of her reports with identical cell phones. (Her children use one too.) That way, when she has something to tell more than one person, she snatches up the device, presses a preprogrammed button, and broadcasts her message to her warehouse managers or her retail managers or the entire staff. The phones, which cost about $200 a pop, have also improved communication among Ibiley's managers.
Barea's passion for uniformity extends to her personal life: she dresses her three girls identically and thus cuts down on time spent shopping and rummaging through closets in the morning. That tactic also makes it easier to spot the kids from a ski lift in Aspen or in a crowd at Disney World.
2. TRAVEL LIGHT. Barea refuses to waste time looking for things, so she's minimized the number of places those things can be. She has no home office; and since she spends so much time tooling around Miami, she keeps the files she needs each day in the car. A master delegator, she is proud of her ability to push much of the paperwork off her plate. And everything that can be stored electronically goes into her Zaurus, which she sometimes takes to bed with her to catch up on the day's activities.
Barea doesn't even carry a briefcase (although for Mother's Day, Eddy bought her one, a subject of some contention), opting instead for an astonishingly small purse that she tucks under her arm "like a schoolgirl." The cell phone is either stuffed into the purse or hooked to her belt, depending on the day's outfit.
3. DO IT NOW. One reason Barea is able to travel light is that she refuses to let things accumulate. The file holder on her desk is labeled "Do It Now." It begins filling up at 8 a.m. but is almost always empty again by the end of the day.
The minute something occurs to Barea, she gets on the radio or the cell phone. On a store visit, Barea notices that one employee is not wearing the uniform (white polo shirt, checkered apron, blue shorts) mandated for temporary help. After a brief discussion with the store manager, she's back in the car and on the radio with Nuñez, asking him to remind the other managers about the dress code. "Don't ever leave things for later," Barea says.

Most foreigners in Japan know the horror of waiting for a residency permit or visa. A few hours in the queue at the Shinagawa immigration office can feel like a lifetime.
But for Iranian national Jamal Saberi, “waiting a lifetime” has become more than just a figure of speech. For nearly 10 years he has been pleading with the Japanese authorities to grant him asylum or refugee status.
“I am tired. . . . I need an answer, but they won’t give me one,” he says.
Waiting without end is not the only form of suffering Saberi has had to endure since he came to Japan. On three separate occasions he has been incarcerated in immigration detention centers — a total of two years behind bars — an experience that has more than left its mark on his once-healthy body.
Saberi first came to Japan in 1990 as a fit 23-year-old. A semi-pro soccer player in his home country of Iran, he prided himself on his athleticism.
Saberi is 43 now, but has the ailments of a man twice that age. He is partially deaf, has an arrhythmic heart and his hands shake.
“It was the stress — the stress of being in the detention center. Of never knowing when you can leave, never knowing when you will be deported,” he says.
Periods spent in the solitary punishment cell were especially traumatic for Saberi. It was an ordeal he had to undergo several times.
“The punishment cell was very small — only 3 by 2 meters — and had no windows. The lights were always on and I was being watched by a camera the whole time,” he explains.
He was also sometimes made to wear metal handcuffs if he was noisy.
“My arms became very painful when wearing the handcuffs,” he recalls.
Saberi says that his state of mind became so unbalanced while in detention that he began shouting constantly in the confines of his small cell — something he thinks may have contributed to his loss of hearing and chronic tinnitus. When he complained to staff doctors at the detention center about his health problems, he says they were very slow to react and that treatment was minimal.
“When I complained I was experiencing pain in my ear they prescribed me sleeping pills and mild pain killers, like aspirin,” he says. “I had to beg for one month to get taken to a hospital to see a specialist.”
Dr Junpei Yamamura from the Minatomachi Clinic in Yokohama has been visiting the Yokohama Detention center on a monthly basis as an independent observer. He says cases like Saberi’s are common among long-term detainees.
“If people are detained for periods of six months or longer, there is usually a psychological reaction leading to sleeping disorders, depression, appetite loss or body pains and aches or something like that.”
Yamamura said tinnitus or the hearing of strange sounds could also be caused by stress, but such a reaction is not so common. However, Saberi’s reaction of shouting loudly and constantly was common in those circumstances, he added, especially if a detainee was put in solitary confinement.
“Sometimes detainees have so much anger at the immigration center, and it builds up and builds up. Shouting is a way for them to push out or release the anger. If you keep silent, it makes the psychological reaction worse, because you don’t push out the anger and anxiety which needs to be released,” he said. “If you keep those feelings you have locked inside, psychological diseases are more likely to develop.”
Yamamura also said that it was common for detainees to receive inadequate medical treatment from in-house doctors at the holding centers. He believes this is because these doctors are first and foremost employed by the detention center and are treated as staff members by the management. Because of this, their medical advice is often dispensed with the best interests of the detention center in mind, rather than the true medical needs of the patient, he says.
“Their job is just to keep the detainee’s symptoms at bay and try and help the final deportation procedure run as smoothly as possible.”
Tetsuro Isobei, the Immigration Bureau’s assistant director of enforcement, says the availability of medical facilities differs between detention centers in Japan and that sometimes only a visiting doctor is available.
“As we are not doctors, we are unable to make an evaluation when a detainee says something is wrong with them,” he explained. “We have to wait until a doctor visits the clinic and makes a diagnosis. If the doctor says it is necessary for the detainee to visit an outside hospital, then we take the detainee there.”
He added that when prescribing medicines to detainees, doctors would sometimes prescribe a medicine in the first instance and, after evaluating whether the patient had improved, may have to then modify the treatment.
“Sometimes, (if) a person’s confidence is low or they are worried or anxious, they may think something is wrong with their health when actually they are probably fine. I think those sorts of situations do occur in the detention center, but we always leave (it) up to the expert opinion of a medical doctor and let them make an evaluation.”
The frightening thing about Saberi’s case is that it is not unique among detainees — asylum seekers or otherwise — in immigration detention centers in Japan. In March this year, over 70 detainees at the notorious West Japan Immigration Center in Ibaraki City near Osaka went on an 11-day hunger strike to protest their prolonged detention and demand temporary release. Human rights activist Hiromi Sano was reported in The Japan Times at the time as saying some of the strikers were asylum seekers.
“They are demanding to know why their applications for release from the center were rejected, even though their refugee claims are being reviewed administratively or judicially, with support from lawyers and legal assistance workers,” she said.
U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Immigrants Jorge Bustamante, who visited Japan earlier this year on a fact-finding mission, was highly critical of the practice of holding visa over-stayers in detention, especially for prolonged periods of time. Some over-stayers in Japan are held for as long as two or three years, a practice Bustamante called “de facto indefinite detention.”
“Clear criteria should be established in order to limit detention to the cases where it is strictly necessary, avoiding detaining persons such as those who are ill or who are the parents of minor children,” he said. “A maximum period of detention pending deportation should be set, after which foreigners should be released.”
The Immigration Bureau’s Tetsuro Isobei said that under Japanese law, if someone is unable to obtain refugee status and told to return home, but they can’t — even for a legitimate reason — then they can be held in detention.
“It is not unlimited detention; they are held only until it is possible to send them home. In these cases we always consider whether or not to give ‘provisional release,’ ” he said.
Saberi was finally released from his latest stint at the Tokyo Immigration Center in August after a high-profile international “Free Jamal” campaign, which involved protests outside Japanese embassies in a number of countries, including the U.S., U.K. and Australia, calling for the Japanese government to release him from detention and stop his deportation back to Iran.
Although no longer under lock and key, the perpetual threat of deportation still hangs heavy over his head. He was issued a “permit for provisional release” by the immigration authorities — after first paying a ¥500,000 yen bond — but that needs to be renewed every month. Holders of provisional release permits also lack any real status of residency, as well as access to the rights and benefits that come with it. These include the right to work, to travel freely within Japan and to enroll in government health insurance programs.
“How am I supposed to live and support myself if I am not able to work?” Saberi asks. “It is a waste — I am unable to contribute to the society which I live in.”
Saberi has to rely on the generosity of friends and supporters to survive. In addition, provisional release permit holders must fill in a form and apply for permission to travel relatively short distances within Japan. For example, even a trip to a specialist doctor in Tokyo from Yokohama, where Saberi lives, involves a great deal of advance planning and red tape.
Worst of all, at any time the authorities could refuse to renew his permit, place him back in detention or reactivate his deportation order.
“I can’t ever feel at peace,” he says.
Despite the monumental difficulties Saberi has faced in Japan, life here is still preferable to returning to his homeland. As a vocal critic of the government of Iran and a member of the Worker-communist Party of Iran (WPI), Saberi is well known to the Iranian authorities. He fears imprisonment, torture and possibly even death if he is deported to his home country. Iran has a long track record of imprisoning its citizens for political crimes such as speaking out publicly against the regime. This is especially true for members of the WPI, which advocates the revolutionary overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
Following the ending of the Iraq-Iran war in 1988, Iran went through a brief period of relaxed state control when it became easier for Iranian citizens to escape the country. Fearing this opportunity wouldn’t last forever and eager to flee his homeland, Saberi jumped on a plane in Tehran in 1990 and flew to Tokyo.
“I just wanted to get out of Iran,” he says. “I didn’t know anything about Japan at the time.”
Saberi had heard through the grapevine that Japan issued visas to Iranians on arrival, something other nations such as the U.S. were not willing to do. He was issued a three-month tourist visa on arrival and after that expired he remained in the country illegally. In 1993 Saberi joined the WPI and in his free time he dedicated himself to political activities for the party, such as producing pamphlets and attending protests.
He supported himself working in factories, on farms and on construction sites for over 10 years before applying for refugee status in 2001.
Since the mass demonstrations that followed the disputed 2009 presidential election, the Iranian regime has been cracking down even harder on dissenters. Just last week, according to reports in Iranian media, Iranian-Canadian blogger Hossein Derakhshan was sentenced to more than 19 years in prison for making online comments against the Islamic Republic.
Unable to go back to Iran yet unable to obtain refugee status in Japan, Saberi is living a life in limbo, deprived of many of the basic rights most of us take for granted.
Despite all this, he hasn’t given up on Japan, the country that has been his home for 20 years.
“I don’t dislike Japanese society itself and I have many good Japanese friends,” he says. “I just want Japan to become a more international and better country.”
“I also want to ask Japanese people to support Iranians who are battling to rid Iran its tyrannical and repressive government and trying to make Iran a better country.”

Queen Sofía National Museum
On the 10th September 1990, the King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofía inaugurated the Queen Sofía National Museum with
a permanent collection which came to substitute the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Art. When it opened its doors,
it stood as a modern, contemporary Spanish museum on an international scale. Nevertheless, its building has gone
through many challenges in order to achieve this goal. To date, the artistic ground exhibited there has been
Perhaps it was the transferring of Picasso's "Guernica" to the Queen Sofía for its permanent collection,
which was the decisive milestone in it now being considered one of the most important contemporary art museums
in the world.
The Queen Sofía Museum program is based on a redefinition of the function of museums, on an alternative to the
institution's historical models. Conceived to be a place that generates opportunities for sociability and
discussion in the public sphere.
The building which houses the collection was designed in the 18th century by the architect Francisco Sabatini
to be built as a hospital (San Carlos hospital), and which was later modified and extended on numerous occasions.
At one point, it was the object of urban planning which included its demolition. But,
in 1977, after much debate, this was declared an artistic historic monument.
Its geographical situation in the city (beside the Atocha roundabout) is privileged, opposite the Botanical Gardens
and close to the Prado Museum.
Between 1980 and 1988 installed a transparent lift towers which now give a modern image to the building.
In 1988, it was made a National Museum.

Here are my favourite photos from last weekend. I call them Faith. Hope. Love.
Last weekend, I felt like I needed a gadget that could freeze time. I watched the kids play, throw caution to the wind, let their hair down, and just lose themselves in play. I watched the hubby play alongside, chasing them, being chased by them, piggy-backing them…We played make-believe, re-enacting the scenes of our current favourite storybook, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt (chinese version).
We watched as the kids romped about at the playground, lost in their own world of exploration and wonder. I looked at the man and he looked at me, and I said “Wow. So this is what life with kids is like.” “Yeah” he replied,”until they grow up that is.”
Trust him to inject a dose of realism into my reverie.
Still, I tried to focus on the present. The simple, carefree present. I tried not to fast-forward into the ever-important school days and its related stresses. I wanted to freeze time, as it is, right here and now.
It’s funny because not too long ago, I remember feeling rather overwhelmed by my weekends. But recently and rather unexpectedly, our weekends have created pockets of relaxation for us.
It might be because of Javier’s newfound freedom of legs and the resultant loss of clinginess. It might be that the brother and sister have found some formula to entertain themselves, without getting into too much trouble. Whatever the cause, I think we’re having a lot more fun now as a family than I can remember in a long while. The baby has also been sleeping better too, which is a big plus and a cause for celebration with some oomphatic chocolate cake.
So the pictures were named Faith. Hope. Love.
Partly to remind myself not to sweat the small things. Partly to remind myself that God gives grace to parents, to cope with the concerns of the here and now, and that we need not worry unduly about the future.
It’s a blessing for parents to find pockets of respite amidst our parenting duties. Pockets of joy and wonder. Pockets of delight.
When that happens, I can’t help but feel like I want to freeze time.
It’s the weekend. I’m looking forward to some swimming, and some dancing with the kids. Here’s to more Faith. Hope. Love.
For you too.
What do you enjoy most about weekends?

Mark Teixeira injures calf as Yankees lose in 11
The Yankees absorbed two blows Monday night.
Derek Jeter's homer in the bottom of the ninth tied the score before Derek Lowe's errant pickoff throw in the 11th set the stage for Toronto to win it, allowing the Orioles to climb within 3½ games of the Yankees (74-54).
But in long-range terms, a reminder of what the Yankees' primary minefield could be during the rest of the regular season came in the top of the fifth.
A half-inning earlier, Mark Teixeira appeared to hurt himself when he fouled a ball off. He stayed in the game -- he drew a walk and did not appear to be running well while scoring on Russell Martin's single in a three-run fourth -- but Eric Chavez replaced him to start the fifth.
After the game, the results of an MRI at New York-Presbyterian Hospital were announced: a Grade 1 left calf strain.
Outside the Yankees' clubhouse about 10 minutes after the game, when asked if Teixeira will have to go on the disabled list, general manager Brian Cashman said, "That's definitely a possibility,'' though that was before he saw the MRI.
After he saw it, Cashman said in an email: "Will think about DL vs. playing short till Sept. 1,'' when the rosters expand.
Joe Girardi said he doesn't see Teixeira playing again in this series and "maybe not the next series, the way I saw him run. Calves can be really tricky. I'm concerned.''
Teixeira already was battling a sore left wrist before suffering this more serious injury, one he said "could be seven days, could be two weeks.''
"I knew something wasn't right,'' Teixeira said of how he felt after scoring. "It was severe enough that I knew I needed to get out of the game . . . The MRI showed a Grade 1. It's not a Grade 2, which is a month or more. That would be worrisome. We just have to take care of it. If it's a week, great. If it's two weeks, not as great, but I still have plenty of the season left.''
Jeter suffered a similar injury last season, a Grade 1 strain in his right calf, and was on the DL from June 14-July 4.
Teixeira joins Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Brett Gardner, Ivan Nova and Andy Pettitte as front-line Yankees who have suffered injuries that have cost a number of games or required a DL stint.
"You know how many teams have had injuries?'' Jeter said. "Boston's had injuries, Toronto's had injuries. Seems like every team in our division. It's part of the game. Injuries are part of it. You've got to play through it.''
The game itself was a roller-coaster affair for the Yankees, who got two homers from Robinson Cano and a two-run shot by Nick Swisher and held a 6-4 lead with two outs in the top of the ninth. Soriano gave up the go-ahead homer by Rasmus, but Jeter responded with his 14th home run off closer Casey Janssen, the Yankees' fourth homer of the game. He had been 0-for-13 against Janssen.
Yorvit Torrealba led off the 11th with a single and pinch runner Mike McCoy went to third when Chavez couldn't dig out Lowe's pickoff throw. Though Lowe was correctly charged with an error, it was fair to wonder if it was a throw the Gold Glove-winning Teixeira would have stopped. But Lowe said, "It's inexcusable,'' taking responsibility for the error.
After Lowe struck out Moises Sierra, No. 9 hitter Adeiny Hechavarria hit a slow roller to Jayson Nix at third. Nix charged the ball and didn't look McCoy back as he threw to first. McCoy broke for home and beat Chavez's throw to the plate to give the Jays an 8-7 lead.
Don't blame Nix, Jeter said. "Jayson made a good play on it,'' he said. "[McCoy] initially went back to third and then changed his mind. That's pretty difficult to do, to start, stop and then start again. Good play on their part.'' | <urn:uuid:eb3e52d0-9198-46f3-b733-fbb34ce914c5> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/mark-teixeira-injures-calf-as-yankees-lose-in-11-1.3931630?qr=1 | 2013-05-20T15:49:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699068791/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101108-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981118 | 928 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

How do you get going again after pregnancy?
xposts Anj- hot choc and bed sounds perfect. Tomorrow is another day. Chin up xxx
Hope EF is OK too and has hidden the tests completely.
I didn't know you got handicaps on there Camlo, I race so rarely I don't want to imagine, and it's only got half my 'racing career' on there, none of the races I did late 1990s into the 2000s which is quite annoying as I used to race regularly, albeit not especially fast!
Ouch to the car bills, my Sharran has been like that this year, last bill was £1500 for drive shaft stuff. Hot chocolate and bed definitely sounds the way to go. LOL at avoiding the hoovering!
I've got friends two kids tomorrow and thankfully weather looks OK so we shall spend as much time out of the house as possible!
Have ordered treadmill - eeeeeek! Have spend ages deliberating and panicing about ordering something that will be either carp or have huge dramas with delivery and working of it etc but fingers crossed. It's off Amazon and seems to have good reviews although I never believe them - hubbys deeply suspicious nature has rubbed off on me and I assume they all work for the company
EF - thinking of you here too, crappy timing from your sister, I'd have been gutted by the news too.
JT - hope you are getting better, all sounds so scary. Aidan has a nasty cough here but his inhalers seem to be keeping the wheeze away so far.
Vixo - I did similar gardening and knackered my back when I was pregnant although it did get better with rest. So annoying to have nice weather and not be able to get on with things. Can't believe how close to your due date you are. Hope the vomming has stopped too.
Caro - well done to your sister - hope she finds something to do with the Turkey!
CC - hope the treadmill is good. No running here, I still have a cough too, putting it down to lack of sleep!
Your handicap is better than mine Camlo
So many coughs! I hope everyone is starting to pick up though in this blooming weather today it will be hard.
Going back a wee bit, Vixo I meant to say I read "The Girl you Left Behind" by Jojo Moyes and really enjoyed it. It was not heavy but not the lightest of chick lit either. It was just rather a good tale and I liked the two different time periods being wound together.
CC well done!! And fab news about the treadmill. A definite deserved qualification present to yourself.
I've never been on that handicap website. I reckon one race a year does not serve me well!
I was going to take the Fifth in relation to the tests but I think I'll just 'fess up instead. You all know I'm mental anyway. JT remembered correctly that I did 6 tests when I conceived Loulou though that was over the course of the first 12 weeks and usually to confirm to myself that I wasn't dreaming the whole thing!
Decided I just would not cope with waiting til Friday so decided to "test out" the trigger instead. Got a faintish positive last Thursday so knew trigger still in me. Then on Sat I got a negative. Both tests went in the kitchen bin.
Sunday morning I tested (yes I ought to buy shares) and thought it was negative but shoved it in my pants drawer as one does when one is hiding one's lunacy from one's husband. Hours later I went to rescue it and bin it only to see a very faint pink line! FFS! Of course anything read after 10 mins has to be seen as invalid so told myself just to ignore it and test again. Which I did. and got another faint pink line within 3 minutes. Gordon Bennett. It gets worse........
So I then realised that I needed to re-check Saturday's test! And where was it? In the bottom of the kitchen bin - cos I shove them down to the bottom to hide said lunacy. Kitchen binbag was now in the outside bin.
You know where this goes don't you? Oh yeah. So I'm outside delving and I get out the one from thursday and the one from Saturday and thursday is def positive and then the saturday if you screw your eyes up and look at an angle there is maybe the most faintest of lines you ever saw. Dumped them back in the bin. decided all I could do was test again Monday morning.
So I did. And it came up a faint positive within the 3 mins. In fact within a minute. Thought about it on my course all day and decided I needed to re-check Saturday. So tonight after Andy went out there I was outside again delving around in the bloody bin only this time I brought the damn things inside. God they stink as well as Andy had made soup and they were under garlic and all sorts. Well I still see the same on Saturday. So POAS again and this time it's much darker positive and up within a minute. It's not at the same colour as the test line but it's way way darker than this morning.
SO. I'm DEMENTED. I am still telling myself that it's likely the trigger shot. They say that should be out at about 10 days but it can be 12 and sometimes 14. I'm 12 days past trigger. But that doesn't explain what is 99.9% negative on Saturday. So, now what have I done - ordered Andy (to whom I have now confessed all) to go to Tesco and get me the cheapest crappest tests he can find, preferably ones that say "Test on the first day of your missed period" in place of my super sensitive First Response tests as I am worried the First Response is so sensitive that it is picking up the trigger way beyond what you might expect. You'll be glad to hear I did manage to find the First Response tests on sale at tesco the other day for £7 for a pack of 2 which frankly is a bargain.
I think what I am going to do is test tomorrow morning and if it is a dark ish positive again then I am going to phone the clinic, confess and beg for an early blood test on Wed. If it's negative they can always do another one on Monday but I cannot get through a whole week of this. Nor can my finances stand it this close to the month end. Even at the £7 a 2 pack! That's turning into £7 a day!
That's funny JT, I was just thinking same about hot choc. We have a surplus of milk here. In fact it could even be the European MilK mountain so it would be a shame to waste it and I do have yummy Thorntons hot choc with choc chips in it.....
Stupid machine now won't let me just go back one page, have to go back 10 pages and then forward again.
RF hope you're not flued up. But I fear maybe you are.
Has anyone heard from MM lately? Or Minks?
JT it does sound like you're on the right track but that it might be quite a long road to full recovery. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF!
Lotte, boo to shite week. Another take care of yourself there too especially in advance of your mega run!
Camlo and JT that is awful. I don't think I would cope hearing doctors argue around about me!
I don't remember if I told you that my first ivf Dr was called Dr Thong. I think he is Thai. Well I met him the once and then have seen lots of others for scans etc. On egg retrieval day I thought it was him (in fairness the person was in scrubs and so it was hard to tell) - well he said "you have met Dr Thong. He is on holiday. I am Dr Thang." OK, maybe you had to be there but it cracked me up at the time.
Oh EF, I know I shouldn't but you soooo made me laugh with your little run through of everything. Also made me chuckle cos I was just the same with those darn pregnancy tests - the whole buying them and then hiding them, and not being able to wait either. I know I'd be in absolute bits and totally unable to concentrate on life if I was in your place. Christ, not sure we can stand the suspense any more than you can!!
JT - cautiously sounding good but agree with EF, please go carefully!
High handicap no's got me thinking that I really do need to enter a few more races. Life has just been so darn complicated it's been almost impossible but need to put foot down more and just the darn things, as i do need things to aim for besides my long epic races! Not helped by the fact we don't have many local races - they are all down on the borders!! But I have a few possibilities including a Multi-terrain half marathon at beginning of March in Forfar - had to google that as was clueless to location but think it's poss only a couple of hours drive!!
and Anj, well I have a Certificate in mat pilates, I can now go on to work towards a diploma which is the equivalent of a Level 3 in REPS (more in-depth A&P and doing 1:1 coaching etc), but it means I can teach mat stuff, just not including bands and balls etc but you don't need all that with beginners anyway.
off to find tin of Milo ...
i don't know caro!!! they just said test on friday and call us then come in on monday.
there's a risk of false +ve and also chemical pregnancy so i dont think i can relax til i get blood test which is then followed up by a 7 wk scan.
at the mo all i can say is i feel a spark of hope again which had gone from me on sat and that is as far as i can go. internet is full of folk getting positives now and others saying they had trigger shot til 14 days.

Atlas’ very name translates to “suffrage” and “endurance”, so his was never meant to be an easy life. The eldest son of Titans Iapetus and Clymene, Atlas instructed humanity in the art of astromony. His abundant offspring includes: the many Hesperides, the nine (or fourteen) Hyades, the seven Pleiades, the three daughters – Calypso, Dione, Maera – and one son named Hyas. When the Olympians began their war against the Titans, Atlas’ brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus sided with the young upstarts whilst Atlas himself remained loyal to his fellow Titans. When the war was over, Zeus punished Atlas for his “misguided” loyalty by ordering him to literally hold up the heavens for all eternity. As such, he is often depicted as a man holding the world on his shoulders.
Charles Lewis III’s play, To Do a Good Turn Daily is a serio-comic tale that transfers Atlas’ post-war purgatory from the mountains of Ancient Greece to suburban Northern California, circa 1995. Mr. A, a twice-divorce Viet Nam veteran, was hoping to have a relaxing weekend to himself. Those plans changed with the appearance of three visitors: his hyperactive pre-teen daughter, Callie; his toddler daughter, Mary; and some young punk named Herc who ruined Mr. A’s front porch (he nearly knocked down the pillars!). Whilst Herc attempts to repair the damage he’s done – and not encourage the pretty blatant admiration of Callie – he and Mr. A find they have more in common than either of them would like to admit. One a man of principal with his best days behind him, the other a talented lad with a knack for wasting his great potential.

Ever see Guillermo del Toro’s The Devil’s Backbone (El Espinazo del Diablo)? Well, if the Bay Area Theatre community were that Spanish orphanage, Charles Lewis III would be that unexploded bomb in the courtyard: no one is sure where he came from and no one knows how to get rid of him, so they just got used to seeing him all the time. Just ask the folks that run the Olympians Fest – it’s his third year being involved and now he’s worked his way up to actually being a writer! The list of theatre companies that often see him in their audiences is far too long to mention. The list of companies who have put him in productions includes ACT, CustomMade, PianoFight, Impact, Cutting Ball, Playwrights Center of San Francisco, New Conservatory, ALTarena, Atmos Theatre, No Nude Men, and TheaterPub at the Café Royale, for which he has both written and performed. (Mathematically speaking Charles Lewis : Acting = Megan Cohen : Writing.) It’s safe to say that as you’re reading this, he’s probably rehearsing for an upcoming show. If you dare, you can find his innumerable film and television credits at (www.IMDb.com/name/nm2565613) and (www.SFcasting.com/BuddyL). Plus he’s got nearly 20 clips to be seen at (www.Vimeo.com/album/1472215). | <urn:uuid:c0f04725-4e5d-4626-b9d6-31758f9db0ca> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.sfolympians.com/?page_id=831 | 2013-05-20T15:36:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699068791/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101108-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962199 | 763 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Even with the convenience of an electronic trading platform there are a number of ways that technology has come forward to make trading even more convenient on another platform. Mobile trading has become one of the newest and most popular ways to make trades online. Because phones and become so advanced, it is now possible for anybody with a smart phone and a connection to the Internet to download a mobile trading application and make trades online. There are number of mobile trading platforms that are available for several different devices.
Many of the mobile trading platforms work on the same principle as the electronic trading platforms which are available in a browser or a standalone programs for traders. The advantage that a mobile trading platform gives is that if the market were to crash or if a trader is away from their computer they will be able to make clutch trades during the trading day and potentially save themselves money if the market drops. A mobile trading platform also allows a customer to check on their trades and investments even if they are far away from the computer or on vacation. There is no reason why your investment should have to go unnoticed or unwatched if you are away from the city or away from your home computer.
Mobile trading platforms are available for phones using operating systems like the IOS operating system any android operating systems. Most popular smart phones run either one of these operating systems and allow for easy installation of a mobile trading platform application. It is important to do the proper research before checking in or downloading one of these applications the some of the trading applications only work to monitor the market and do not allow for trades. As well, some of the mobile trading platform applications require a user to pay in order to download this type of platform for their phone. Trades can sometimes be taken at a premium for the service of being able to make trades where ever a person is. Occasionally commissions will be raised when using a mobile trading platform so it is still in some cases easier to use the PC equivalent of the same trading platform.
These trading platforms still require the same specifications that are required under united states trading platform laws. A mobile application for trading requires the use of a username and password as well, it will record any trades or data which are made from the mobile device. Usually reports can be viewed on a computer as well as on the phone and are kept across networks. This is still fairly new technology but a number of companies online are crafting mobile access to their electronic trading platforms.
With further development we are sure to see more and more people adapting this type of trading platform. Having the convenience, to make trades wherever they are and to check on the market without being near a computer can be a crucial tool to have when trading. With better systems we are sure to see investments that move faster and can be carried out from just about anywhere in the world.

bhonda, I think you missed this comment...
I just want to create "business" type programs for my own use.
Way back in the dawn of time (the 1980s) it was possible to knock up something useful in a few hours or days. However, we have reached a point where there is so much free software available that to create something useful (i.e. that doesn't exist already) takes much longer.
At a hobbyist level, there may be more money to be made, more satisfaction and more fun to be had from taking up oil painting or writing, cooking or interior design, etc. To make money from programming you need a good idea, good skills, good promotion, backup from other people, luck and most of all, the ability to get your product out quickly because if you don't someone else will beat you to the punch. | <urn:uuid:59c271ba-127b-4f8f-b77c-b23509826ba6> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.webmasterworld.com/printerfriendlyv5.cgi?forum=9&discussion=4214310&serial=4215596&user= | 2013-05-20T16:13:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699068791/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516101108-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969465 | 196 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

By Dan Brown
The result of gerrymandering is the antithesis of representative government. As Phil Power recently noted, when the 2012 election gives one party 54 percent of the seats in the Michigan House of Representatives while receiving only 45 percent of the vote, the concept of representative government is negated.
But, is it only gerrymandering that does harm to representative government?
One needs to look further into the workings of the present system of elections to realize that another factor detracts significantly from the “representative-ness” of our system of government.
A closer look at the 2012 election results shows that, in total, 1.5 million voters end up not being represented in the Michigan House. These are the voters who voted for losing candidates; a half million Republicans in 51 districts and nearly 1 million Democratic voters in 59 districts. These unrepresented voters constitute nearly 36 percent of the total vote for House candidates.
In 2011, the Center for Michigan studied the current electoral system in Michigan and found that rules were leaving large swathes of the Michigan public without representation.
Add to that the consequences of gerrymandering and the result is an irretrievably broken system.
The focus on and fascination with a new process of drawing legislative districts with an eye toward more competitive districts is not going to solve the problem. Under our present winner-take-all system, typically, one-third of voters end up not being represented. Redrawing districts in a nonpartisan manner or with an equally balanced commission is not going to give the desired result — if the desired result is a truly representative House.
A word on “competitive districts”: A “competitive district” is, essentially, the least representative of all districts. To be a “competitive” district appears to mean that the district could swing either way, Republican or Democratic. Thus, for all practical purposes, this means that nearly 50 percent of voters in it will be unrepresented after each election.
What’s the answer? A system that gives full representation to all voters and eliminates any chance or gerrymandering is demanded.
The solution is to go to multiple member (two or more representatives) districts.
Each elected representative would go to Lansing with a vote the strength of which would be exactly equal to the number of votes she/he received in the general election. Thus, in my district, the 93rd House District, Tom Leonard would have a vote of 25,283 and Paula Silva a vote of 19,377. In the age of computers, handling the computations should present no problem. With a total of 4,464,132 votes cast in the election, passage of a measure in the House would require 2,232,067 votes, one more than one half of the total. Consideration may need to be given to the number of representatives wanted in the House. Possibilities include reducing the number of districts and setting a minimum number of votes required as a threshold for getting a seat in the House.
The advantages of making every vote count would include:
* Gerrymandering would be eliminated. A Republican vote would be a Republican vote, regardless of which district boundary it was in. Same for Democratic votes. In a real sense, district boundaries would no longer matter in terms of which party controls the House.
* All voters would be represented – even the ones who voted for an otherwise losing candidate.
* Those voters voting for a minor party candidate would at least have an impact in that their votes affect the number of votes needed for passage in the House. It would be possible to give a minor party candidate a seat in Lansing if she/he received a minimum number of votes (determined as a percentage of the statewide total).
* The notion of competitiveness disappears. The drawing of district lines becomes, essentially, a ministerial one of balancing out the population of districts.
There may be issues related to demographic, racial, ethnic, economic, etc. factors that need to be considered in the formulation of district lines.
All parties, regardless of geographic location in the state, will be encouraged to get out the vote, thereby increasing citizen participation in this most democratic process.

Hello beautiful people!
I wanted to share a few great deals that I've gotten in the jewelry department lately. I don't know about you, but I can never have enough jewelry. Statement necklaces, delicate rings, enamel bangles, chandelier earrings, chunky watches...I could go on and on. My cats are particularly fond of small stud earrings. Not sure how that's relevant, but it's certainly true.
First up is this Hermes leather cuff knock-off. I've been lusting over this bracelet (now on sale for $1,152! Sigh). But since I'm not one for dropping money like that on an accessory (yet), I decided to find one of my own. Here's what I found!
Next up is the enamel panther bangle. I have seen them all over the place, but I found this stunner via Pinterest. Now I know that you can find similar bangles for a lot less than $31,000, but how similar is my knock-off to this one?!
Forever 21 to the rescue.
I usually stack this baby with my MK watch and a few more shiny bangles. I am a magpie, through and through...what can I say.
So what do you think? I like to think that I saved myself almost $33,000.
Like I would spend that anyway.

A reader has expressed surprise that this house on North Street could dream of getting anything close to its asking price of $8.950 million, notwithstanding its easy proximity to the Merritt Parkway and its exits. EZ ON/EZ OFF certainly works for MacDonalds, so why not for (lots of ) sheetrock?
But convenience to transportation doesn’t always suffice for picky Greenwich buyers, and I fear for the future of some of the twenty-one spec houses currently for sale in town at $7.5 million and up. Forty-five Meadow Drive, for instance, enjoys direct tidal waterfront in Belle Haven but also has I-95 as a neighbor in its backyard. The fact that one could hop onto a trucktop and tour New England, free, so far hasn’t proved enough of a draw to attract a buyer, and the place sits vacant despite dropping its price from $17.9 million to a post-Madoff bargain price of $16.7.
2 Deer Park, 16,000 sf of house on bucolic Lake Avenue also provides an opportunity for car spotting, at all hours, but it won’t sell, even though its builder/seller has violated Mad Monkey’s rule and dropped its price below $1,000 sf. Give the man credit: he tried to move this stone collection at $16,250,000 but couldn’t do it, and has lowered his sights a tad to $14,750,000. It’s possible that Mad Monkey will grant him absolution because of this first attempt or even forgive him entirely because the shoulder of Lake Avenue is not the “truly prime” location that MM has now defined as his area of expertise.
Jordan Saper is moving his house somewhere in the sevens (maybe), but at the rate we’re going this year, these builders are looking at ten years of inventory. We all hope the market will improve a bit within ten years, but if not, the houses may still be around but their prices, and their builders, will not. Hmmm. | <urn:uuid:b911dde5-56b0-4e22-91f4-8f3c343b7b91> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://christopherfountain.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/where-do-new-houses-go-when-they-die/ | 2013-05-23T07:52:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974074 | 436 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Dodgers are just what cures Padres, losing 4-2 as San Diego snaps 10-game losing streak
The poor little San Diego Padres. They had lost 10 consecutive games. Had lost any semblance of confidence. Lost all but one game of their division lead.
They were one spooked team. So rattled, if you looked hard, you half expected to see their knees shaking.
Into this valley of fear, stepped the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team so completely mixed up it’s capable of curing what ails any opponent.
The Padres took a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning Monday, played nervous and like a team expecting the worst throughout much of the night … and still held on for a 4-2 victory.
The loss left the disappointing Dodgers a .500 club (69-69); it’s the first time they’ve been at the .500 mark since May 12. They fell nine games back of the Padres in National League West.
The Dodgers appeared to have caught a break before the game when Padres ace Mat Latos (13-5, 2.25 earned-run average) came down ill and they had to send out Tim Stauffer as their emergency starter.
Stauffer is a reliever who had appeared in 26 games this season, but started only once on May 9. He was 8-14 with a 5.03 ERA lifetime as a starter.
Yet the Dodgers’ offense right now is such that it can make most any starter can look like a Latos.
Stauffer lasted only four innings, but held the Dodgers to one run on four hits, and left with a 3-1 lead.
The Padres used seven pitchers to pull out the victory. And now Latos is scheduled to pitch Tuesday.
The Dodgers scored their run off Stauffer in the fourth on a James Loney double and Andre Ethier single. It was Ethier’s first RBI in nine games.
The Padres had taken a 1-0 lead against Vicente Padilla when Nick Hundley led off the third with a home run.
After the Dodgers tied it, San Diego came back with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth. Following one-out singles by Adrian Gonzalez and Miguel Tejada, Padilla walked Chase Headley to load the bases.
Padilla was making his first start since Aug. 15, after going on the disabled list with a bulging disk in his neck. The rest of the fourth, however, did nothing for his health.
The Padres drove in two runs without hitting the ball out of the infield. Will Venable hit a bouncer to Loney at first, who fired to second for one. Venable, however, just beat Rafael Furcal’s throw back to first to avoid the double play as Gonzalez scored.
Hundley then drove a pitch in front of the plate that acted liked it ricocheted off concrete. The ball bounced so high in the air, by the time it finally came down into the glove of Furcal, he had no play. Tejada scored and San Diego had its third run.
Padilla (6-5) lasted four innings, allowing his three runs on five hits and a walk. He struck out five.
Scott Podsednik pulled the Dodgers within one with his first home run as a Dodger, a solo shot off Luke Gregerson in the seventh.
The Padres got it back, however, off lost-looking Jonathan Broxton in the bottom of the inning on a double by Aaron Cunningham, a groundout and David Eckstein's sacrifice fly.
Through the first seven innings, the Dodgers left nine men on base.

James "Jimmie" Tafolla
7th president - elected at the 1935 convention. Served one term.
James "Jimmie" Tafolla was born in Bexar County on August 31, 1898. "His father helped start the struggle for recognition of Mexican Americans as Americans, during the time when it took real guts to stand up for your rights," as reported LULAC News.
"Jimmie was one of those who in their youth literally pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. He is a worthy son of a worthy father; you remember, that old-line tradition of the 'chip off the old block'," reported LULAC News.
Jimmy attended the San Antonio public schools and later graduated from the John K. Weber School of Law in San Antonio and passed his bar exam. He set up his private law practice in San Antonio and later served as assistant district attorney of Bexar County for many years.
Jimmie was one of the best known attorneys, the 'dean' of Latin American attorneys of San Antonio from the standpoint of ethical and civic service to the community," reported LULAC News.
The story goes that one afternoon a judge asked Jimmie why some Mexicans resented being called Mexicans. Jimmie replied, "Judge, I am going to give you a bit of back history," and then answered, "My great grandfather, my grandfather, my father, as I and my children, are native born American citizens. Five generations of native born citizens of this country. Now, do you think my children ought to be called 'Mexicans'?" The old judge just smiled and said, "I guess you're right, Jimmie." | <urn:uuid:9022feb7-d133-4a7c-9976-70b5619fd62f> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://lulac.org/about/history/past_presidents/james_tafolla/ | 2013-05-23T07:39:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985289 | 349 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Re: fsck seg fault failure on vmware -i386?
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 01:51:53 +0100
From: Rhialto <rhialto%falu.nl@localhost>
| Well... don't leave us all in suspense... what was it???
If I tell you, what would get you to tune in again next week?
Short answer, someone put a comment, "cannot happen" in the
code, and Senator Murphy saw that, and reacted.
Longer answer (or perhaps just more rational answer...):
It is a bug in the 64 bit tzcode, using random results from
malloc() in the case that there's no timezone data files
available at all. In any test code anyone is likely to
write, and in most simple programs, or anything that converts
(or attempts to convert) a date before doing much work, the
space returned from malloc is likely to be all nicely cleared,
and everything "works". But in fsck_ffs, localtime() is only
called after discovering an inode that needs fixing, which may
be after lots of other inodes (and directories, indirect blocks,
etc.) have been fetched, processed, and discarded, malloc() is
quite likely to return random trash. It is also possible that
running under vmware might make that random trash different than
in other environments (which might be why no-one else has seen
this problem - this can't have been the first time someone running
current had a filesystem they needed to repair in single user mode
(without /usr/* visible) - can it?)
Since this only happens (only affects anything) in the 64 bit code
(other important data was being explicitly initialised), it will
only affect current (NetBSD 5 and before are still 32 bit time_t's
The updated tzcode released yesterday does not have a fix for this in
it, it does have a fix to prevent core dumps from asctime() when
localtime returns NULL (hopefully eventually only for legitimate
reasons, which means enormously big (positive or negative) year values
which will never bother any ordinary use of localtime()). I suggested
a simple fix (which just meant moving the place where the data that
ended up uninitialised was being initialised, to earlier in the code
so it couldn't be skipped - I did also send a cc (bcc actually) of that
to Christos who has been dealing with 64 bit time_t issued in NetBSD.
The actual fix added to the tzcode (most likely to appear in tzcode2010b,
probably next Monday, but that is not yet confirmed) is likely to be
more conservative, and simply clear everything, always - make sure there
isn't some other internal state that fails to get initialised the same
way that no-one has discovered yet.
If you want to investigate the code yourself, look for references to
sp->goback (and sp->goahead) and where those get set, and the sp->ats array,
and look at localsub() and see how they're used. If after the malloc()
that creates the state struct (eg: in tzsetwall_unlocked()) you deliberately
make lclptr->ats to some very big positive number (its 64 bits, so push
it out there...) and lclptr->goback to 1 (anything != 0), and then arrange
for there to be no accessible zonetab files (not even "GMT"), you'll see a
NULL from localtime() too (regardless of what time it is being asked to
convert - well, the time must be less than what you put in ats).
The "cannot happen" exit from localsub() is the one that happens...

State Prosecutors, Or 'Gunslingers'
Published: October 8, 2006
To the Editor:
In ''Cleanupticut'' (Op-Ed, Oct. 1), Jeffrey A. Meyer makes a good case for Connecticut's prosecutors to have subpoena power to allow them, among other things, to investigate corruption. However, Mr. Meyer misses the mark when he likens a Connecticut prosecutor to a federal prosecutor.
Federal prosecutors ultimately answer to the attorney general of the United States, who answers to the president, who is elected by the people whom prosecutors represent. Whereas Connecticut's 13 regional prosecutors operate with a great deal of autonomy without directly answering to the people of Connecticut they are sworn to represent, when one examines the reporting structure and even the philosophy of the newly appointed Chief State's Attorney, Kevin Kane, who really supervises none of them.
And all one has to do to see that each regional prosecutor can sling his own gun based on his own prosecutorial philosophy is look at how the decision to seek the death penalty in Connecticut is applied differently by each regional prosecutor.
No additional authority should be given to these government-sanctioned gunslingers without first restructuring the prosecutorial branch so that it answers directly to the people of Connecticut. | <urn:uuid:1cb2fdf6-ce6d-49b8-ac8f-feb5f14f7e3c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B01EEDF1330F93BA35753C1A9609C8B63&ref=jeffreymeyers | 2013-05-23T07:47:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952376 | 254 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
What does Mitt Romney say to his fat cat bundlers in the face of losing? Why, of course, he dissembles: "we haven't really lost when you consider the historic breakthroughs my plutocratic, religious candidacy achieved." The world is different now for super-rich politicians and Mitt isn't off-base in this regard. Or is he?

For a moment, I think he will kiss me. Just when I think he’s going to move closer, he leans back against the couch and pats my hip. Though I recognize the gesture for what it is—a non-verbal request for me to get off his lap—I play dumb. I miss physical affection more than anything, and with Carlisle I don’t have to worry about him getting the wrong idea, even if sometimes I wish he would.
“I made cinnamon rolls while you were sleeping,” he says, “and there’s a fresh pot of coffee.”
It’s a simple gesture, for him at least. He may be able to whip together pastries from scratch in less time than it takes me to blowdry my hair, but that doesn’t change the fact it means the world to me.
“If you think plying me with caffeine and sugar will make me feel better…” I laugh. “Well, you’re right.”
“It hasn’t failed me yet,” he says, bouncing me on his knee.
Once again, I pretend not to get the hint. Instead, I tighten my arms around his neck and rest my head on his shoulder.
“Neither have you.”

When Edward first sees Alice, his mouth catches flies.
“Whoa,” he says, gesturing to her hair. “It’s been so long since I’ve seen your real hair color, I’d forgotten what it looked like.”
She laughs. “Yeah, you and me both.”
“Where’s Jasper?” he asks, hugging her.
“I imagine he’s in Texas with his family.”
“What do you mean, you imagine?”
“It’s not like I watched him get on the plane.”
Edward’s eyes shift the way they do when he’s about to roll them before he bows his head toward Alice’s shoulder, effectively hiding his face. His expression is blank when he looks up, but the opened collar of his white button-down shirt exposes the frantic pulse of his jugular vein, letting me know it’s all a facade. I wonder if it was the same ten years ago—if even then there was evidence of what was boiling beneath his cool surface but I was too young and too dense to notice.
Still holding Alice’s hands, he takes a step away from her and studies her face.
“Perhaps I missed something,” he says, “but when I left D.C., you were part of his family.”
“Can we talk about this later?”
Her voice has the same cheerful, bell-like quality it always does, but there’s something in her eyes that doesn’t ring true.
“What did he do?” he asks.
“What makes you think he did anything?” She pulls her hands away from his and starts to unbutton her coat. “Please tell me there are more pleasant things for us to talk about than why I’m here alone.”
Alice looks at Edward who looks at me. I look over at Carlisle, who’s using his hand to muffle what I assume is a snort. I shoot him the Look of Death, then turn back to Alice.
“Of course there is,” I say, taking her coat. “Let me introduce you to Esme and Sarah.”
“Well…” Edward gets up from his the sofa, slapping his hands against his thighs as he straightens his legs. “I should see if Esme needs any help in the kitchen.”
Recent history tells me this is Edward-speak for I need to get away from you and Carlisle before I break something, so I study his face, hoping to figure out what upset him. In this instance, the usual triggers don’t apply—since Alice arrived, Carlisle’s been on his best behavior. Hell, he’s barely even spoken—for the past half hour, he’s been playing Christmas carols on the piano at Alice’s request.
Edward must feel me staring at him. Just as he’s about to leave the room, he turns and smiles at me, ever so slightly nodding his head toward Alice.
He’s not upset with me; he wants me to find out what the hell is going on with his sister.
I follow Alice’s gaze across the room to the piano. As long as she’s focused on Carlisle, I can focus on her. She’s too thin and too pale, and though she hasn’t behaved any differently than usual, something about the way she’s been carrying herself makes me think she hasn’t gotten a good night’s sleep in days. If she has broken up with Jasper for real, if they’re not apart right now because of something silly that got blown out of proportion, I know all too well why she wouldn’t want to talk about it. Then again, I also know why she would.
Even though Carlisle’s in the room, the lid is open on the baby grand. There’s no way he’ll be able to hear us. Now is as good a time as ever.
“Alice…” I inch myself across the sofa cushion toward her. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Without missing a beat, she angles her head toward the piano. “He’s very good. I could listen to him forever—live music is so soothing.”
“He’d play guitar for me when we lived together. Sometimes in the beginning…” My eyes close as I empty my lungs in a drawn-out sigh.
I’ve never told Alice what it was like for me to move out here, mostly because I know how much my leaving Edward hurt her. I also know how much my leaving Edward hurt me. There’s a chance talking about it now will upset her; our friendship is able to exist in the present mostly because we make it a point not to talk about the past. But I remember those days and how much I wished I could talk to her, and I know I have to take the risk—just in case she’s going through the same thing and she’s wishing she could talk to me.
“In the beginning,” I say, “those were the only times I was able to stop obsessing over what Edward was doing and just be.”
“Carlisle plays guitar, too?”
If anything, she seems to be wishing I could take a hint.
“He plays just about everything. Once in a while, he still does paid gigs.”
“That’s surprising. I assumed he didn’t like having an audience given the way I had to practically beg him to play.”
“That’s just because he’s in a bad mood.”
She laughs, then quickly covers her mouth with her hand. “Gee, I wonder why.”
“Don’t be dense, Izzy. Hosting a holiday dinner is a lot of work even when it’s just for family. Carlisle’s also been asked to entertain two strangers. I’m not a big deal. Edward is a United States Senator with such a rabid following, there are whole Tumblr blogs devoted solely to pictures of his ass. I don’t care how many restaurants Carlisle owns—the thought of paparazzi in his yard has to be stressing him out. Are you really so wrapped up in Edward this hasn’t occurred to you?”
“Devoted to his ass? Really?”
All those years I was too stubborn to Google him, it turns out this is what I missed? Part of me is legitimately outraged. The rest wishes there was a way to pull up Tumblr on my phone without anyone noticing.
“Yes. They started after the People magazine article.”
“Would-be bubble-butt rimming cum-blr sluts!”
“Whoa, Izzy.” Carlisle stops playing and looks over at us. “To what do we owe that outburst?”
“Since when does Izzy need a reason?” Alice gets up from the couch and sits beside Carlisle on the piano bench. “By the way, thank you for playing tonight. Edward makes fun of me for it, but I’ve always loved Christmas songs.”
“I leave the room for five minutes and already my sister’s telling lies about me,” Edward says, reclaiming the seat next to me. “I make fun of her for liking over-the-top, sentimental crap, and Christmas music generally falls into this category.”
Alice turns to Carlisle. “He doesn’t realize my passion for Christmas music has nothing to do with sentimentality and everything to do with egoism. Just about every Christmas song out there—well, the traditional ones at least—they all have my name in them.”
Carlisle laughs. “I’m calling bullshit on this one. Outside of Alice’s Restaurant, which is about Thanksgiving, I can’t think of a single holiday song with your name in it.”
“I’m not talking about Alice—that’s my middle name. My first name is Mary, I started going by Alice in high school when I found out about the curse.”
Edward rolls his eyes. “Here we go.”
“Shut up, Edward. It’s real and you know it.”
“Of course it is,” Edward says. “I mean, she asked the oracle. Magic 8-Balls are truth.”
“You can make fun of me all you want.” Alice folds her arms across her chest. “But you know as well as I do that everyone ever named Mary in our family has been batshit crazy.”
“Present company included.” Edward takes a swig of his scotch. “Besides, lunacy is subjective.”
“Our great-aunt died in an asylum after being lobotomized—that’s as cut and dry as it gets. But anyway…” Alice lets out an exaggerated sigh. “That’s why I don’t let people call me Mary. There’s an association there I don’t want, if that makes any sense.”
Carlisle laughs. “Makes sense to me. Then again, I go by my middle name, too. My first name is William.”
“Really?” she asks. “That’s my father’s name.”
He swallows hard, but his smile doesn’t waver. “Mine, too.”
When we return to the living room, we’re in much better spirits, our moods lightened by the consumption of…well…spirits. The mood is subdued enough that at some point during after-dinner drinks, Alice falls asleep.
I shake my head, laughing. “If she didn’t look so peaceful, I’d wake her ass up to make fun of her for being such a lightweight.”
“You can’t get drunk from Shirley Temples,” Carlisle says, “and that’s what she’s been having all night. We should let her sleep; she obviously needs it. Though…” He turns to Edward. “She can’t be comfortable with her neck bent like that. If you think she’d like to lie down in the guestroom until your car gets here, I’ll go make the bed for her.”
Edward looks at him like he’s on crack.
Carlisle turns up his palms, shrugging. “What?”
“Thank you; that’s very considerate.” Edward crosses the room and kneels in front of where Alice is sleeping. “Hey there,” he whispers.
She doesn’t respond.
“Alice?” He nudges her gently. “Would you like to lie down in the guest room for a bit?”
He lifts her arm. The second he lets go, it falls onto her lap with a thud.
“Alice?” With his thumb and forefinger, he opens one of her eyes, then the other. “Why are you all just standing there? Someone call 911!” | <urn:uuid:0902b4ad-a08c-418a-8c8b-596e6e862a3a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://sleepyvalentina.com/fall-to-ruin-one-day/chapter-forty | 2013-05-23T07:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975652 | 2,816 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

But now, real naked photos of Carly have come up and there's no denying it this time. Actually, her team has already called the police to work this one out.
The nude pics were stolen from Carly's personal computer and the hacker is apparently trying to sell them to various media outlets already.
What a scumbag!
Carly and her people were made aware of the situation back in March and police already have a suspect in mind.
We hope for Carly's sake those pictures don't get leaked.
And seriously, will female celebs please quit taking naked photos of themselves?! They always get stolen and released people!

Veteran Aussie boxer Sam Soliman to fight German Felix Sturm in February next year
- November 17, 2012
Veteran boxer Sam Soliman has received a lucrative but risky birthday present which could jeopardise his chances of fighting a fellow Australian for the IBF middleweight title.
The No.1 ranked IBF contender, Soliman has signed to fight former champion Felix Sturm in Germany on February 2.
Soliman's manager David Stanley said the IBF granted champion Daniel Geale an exemption to fight Australian compatriot Anthony Mundine instead of his charge, provided the winner of that bout in Sydney on January 30 makes a mandatory defence by May 2.
Victorian Soliman could have waited for that opportunity, but that would have meant going just over eight months without a fight.
Instead he has opted to fight fourth-rated Sturm, who lost his WBA Super title to Geale in Germany in early September.
Geale was stripped of his WBA Super title for fighting Mundine instead of that organisation's standard WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
The contract to fight Sturm came through on Soliman's 39th birthday last Tuesday.
Stanley confirmed it would be one of the most lucrative purses of Soliman's career and recognised they were risking his mandatory entitlement by fighting Sturm.
Soliman's last fight was a title eliminator points win back on August 24 against Giovanni Lorenzo, a man Sturm has also got a decision against.
"It's about the ring rust," Stanley said.
"Sam is a professional boxer as well, so it's a good fight in terms of good prizemoney for Sam.
"Sam knows what he's doing, he's putting his number one mandatory entitlement up, but obviously Sturm has got a steaming desire to get back at Geale."
Soliman is likely to head to Europe three weeks before the bout.
He may spend part of that final preparation period training in either Britain or the Netherlands before heading over to Germany.
Meanwhile, former IBF junior welterweight world champion Lovemore Ndou is set to make his Mixed Martial Arts debut on December 1, when he fights Aswin Cabuy for the Combat 8 featherweight title at the Panthers club in Newcastle.
"I have been boxing for 27 years and I'm starting to get bored in this sport, I don't find it as challenging anymore despite my love for it," said Ndou, who ultimately aspires to win a UFC title.
"I know boxing only forms a little part of MMA, but I'm working really hard to master the other parts of mixed martial arts."

An apron is an outer protective garment that covers primarily the front of the body. These apron patterns can be made to be worn for hygienic reasons as well as in order to protect clothes from wear and tear. The vintage apron is commonly part of the uniform of several work categories, including waitresses, nurses, and domestic workers; many homemakers wear them also. These free apron patterns found here are functional and fun to make.
If you're searching for a pattern to create a present for that special someone, perhaps that individual would really like an apron. Whenever we think about aprons, we frequently think about moms and grandmas in the kitchen area, but males can frequently take advantage of getting an apron too. They frequently enjoy grilling, to begin with. They can also make use of an apron within their workshop (also known as a man cave). Children, too, may use an apron for a lot of different activities. For example, an apron will keep little ones clean while working on arts and crafts. Listed here are simple instructions to make apron patterns that may be modified for anybody.
Begin with a bit of sturdy fabric appropriate for that individual to whom you're making the gift. The material used for the apron must be wide enough to wrap around the recipient of the gift and lengthy enough to cover them from their neck to just over the knee. For any large adult, 25 to 30 inches wide by 36 to 40 inches long ought to be about right. A slimmer adult may use a narrower apron, but a lot of people use the extra fabric to wipe their hands while they are working. An apron for a kid of 10 could begin with a bit of fabric about 18 inches wide by 25-30 inches lengthy.
To create the apron, fold the bit of fabric lengthwise. This will help you to cut the form with one cut, making sure that the two sides are even. The bib portion of the apron will be about nine inches wide. Measure from the fold about 5½ inches. This is just a bit wider than the bib which gives you enough room to hem.
You’re ready to customize your apron patterns now by adding adornments such as crochet edgings or pockets. Whatever you think will personalize your apron and be helpful when in use. Next fold under all of the edges and stitch a nice hem all around your retro apron. Cut two pieces of fabric approximately a yard long by two inches wide which you’ll use to fold lengthwise with raw edges to the inside. Press and stitch down along the length to make the ties, then attach the ties at the waist.
People who work hard at homemaking, barbecuing and in the workshop will appreciate your beautiful apron gift. Mostly they will appreciate the effort and design you put into it!

It was not the greatest of days. My wifes twenty-year high school reunion. Walking up to the North Lakes Country Club, she jerked on my hand, bringing me to a halt.
Remember, I slept with a lot of guys in high school and I mean a lot. So there will probably be quite a few people wholl be happy to see me. It may be uncomfortable for you.
Thats just great, Connie. I stood there debating whether to just wait in the car.
But Ive changed, you know that. Im not like that anymore.
People dont change, I said. They just modify things, make little tweaks, tiny adjustments. We dont change. Thats the greatest fallacy in the history of mankind. The truth is people dont change.
Well, I have.
Uh huh, I said, walking up to the front door, deciding to drop it.
Weve been married eight years. Long enough to have a five-year-old girl and long enough to not really enjoy each others company any longer.
I laughed at my predicament: me and my ex-slut wife attending her high school reunion fully aware of her hopes of running into her former backseat fuck buddies.
I turned around. Shed fallen behind. You coming?
Are you going to behave? she asked. A couple walked past us and went inside.
Of course. I know how important this is for you.
Thank you. She started up toward me.
* * *
The first person she ran into was some asthmatic guy who found everything hilarious. Wow, ha-ha, its, ha-ha, Connie, ha-ha, Miller
But he couldnt continue, he took two puffs off his L-shaped inhaler and waved us off. I told her I remember when we used to turn those upside down, drop a piece of tin foil in the mouthpiece, pop a half dozen holes with the end of a pin and have ourselves a handy little marijuana pipe. Connie wasnt impressed.
No weed stories, OK, Doobie Dude? In fact, no stories at all. Just zip it tonight.
I felt crushed and stood there without convictions, beliefs, or even the faint satisfaction of being alive.
When a guy wearing his old football jersey informed me that they used to call my wife Connie the Hottie, I told him nowadays I called her Itchy Tits because shes always scratching the hell out of them.
When I was asked what I did for a living I said I was a psychic. Everyone was awed by this revelation. A woman asked, How do you use your gift?
I said, Basically it works like this. If I get an erection, look out! That means a tornado is on its way. Last year I predicted thirteen tornados and the mishandling of the Iraq War.
One woman, who had a drag-along husband with her, spoke at great length with my wife and informed me that they had a small boy. I stepped up to the plate. Want my advice? Dont have a boy. But in your case its too late so heres something to write on a sticky note and plant on your forehead: If an organization, newsletter or building has the word boy in it, thats a bright-lettered advertisement for man-boy lovers and other pedophilic deviants. Boys Club, Boys Scout, National Institute of the Boy, Methodist Boys Club, Boy Oh Boy, all of themwatch the fuck out. Seriously.
Excuse me? You are unbelievably inappropriate and rude.
Hey! I threw my hands in the air. I didnt see a foul. I turned to Connie. Did you? Then I pointed to the asthmatic. Wheezy, you see a foul?
Who are you? the woman said.
Just a guy with a little advice from me to you. Im full of guidance and beautiful sunrise sentiments. Im a walking Hallmark card, full of pick-me-ups, cheer-you-ups and there to remind you that your loved one has gone on to a better place, wherever the hell that is.
Before Connie could smack me I darted off toward the bar where semi-retired grandfathers in tuxedo shirts and black bow ties stood with their hands folded over their pricks.
Get one of those little plastic cups and fill it halfway with vodka then spit in it for me.
Spit in it?
Thats right Miracle Ear, you heard me. Spit in it.
He poured a generic brand into the plastic cocktail cup then looked up at me. Spit in it?
Thats right, Captain, My Captain.
He did and I took the glass over to Connie.
Here, sweetie. Vodka straight up.
She thanked me and took a long drink.
Im so sorry for being a prick.
You cant help it, she said.
Right. Because I am a prick, right?
Thats my sweetheart.
* * *
I walked around the room, starting conversations with random 1989 graduates from North Lakes High School. I went up to a group of four guys and said, Hey, prick teases, remember me? You guys were right. I am a fag. Big-time gay man right here. Gosh. Its so great to see you guys again. You all look so good. I just want to squeeze all of you.
I approached other men and said, See that over there, pointing to my wife. Wow-ee. Remember her?
And most did remember her, very intimately. One guy named Brock said, Hell, yeah, I nailed her like every day after school our sophomore year. He went on to say that he hoped maybe if he was lucky, later on tonight hed get himself a hit of the old stuff, you know for old times sake, he said, high-fiving me. I wished him luck and didnt doubt his chances.
Occasionally someone interrupted and said, Who are you again?
Id say, Prom committee? Hello? How can you forget this face?
Oh, yeah, theyd say and then instruct me to get a name badge from the sign-in table at the front. That was the rules.
* * *
Then the music got a little louder and more people were dancing and everyone was on their second or third drink. Connie danced with a bunch of different people, guys and girls. I stood off to the side after I got tired of talking to people. I drank my Diet Coke out of one of those little plastic cups they use on airplanes.
It was Saturday night and I was already dreading going back to work on Monday. The dull ache in my chest worsened when thinking about the end of the month print jobs on deck. Catalogs, monthly periodicals, flyers, advertisements, direct mail pieces. And the delays and asshole clients who couldnt get me their proofs in time and fighting to get past due money and haggling over costs or invariably getting into it over using the wrong kind of paper stock. Mistakes happen. We all make them. But we live for the thrill of pouncing on others when they mess up.
Id thought about changing directions. Thought about doing something wild and exciting and extravagant. My grandfather did. He left my grandmother and went to Europe to become a painter. No one ever heard from him again. Thats how you do it. My hero.
Connie would find herself a new husband in no time, she still looks that good. And our daughter, were not that close. She wouldnt miss me. Maybe at first, but after a few months with a new dad and a new house and a new school, itd be smooth sailing again. Besides, these kids nowadays dont need mothers and fathers anymore; they need text messages, paparazzi-shot celebrity magazines, and Web pages where they can post revealing pictures of themselves. And they need everythingwhatever it isnon-stop. There is no rest for this generation. This generation is going for it. Theyre extreme. Theyre cutting edge and technologically savvy and fat and not so bright at math and they start getting drunk in the fourth grade and start stroking and pole-dipping each other in the fifth grade. I cant wait until being a parent is nothing more than supplying my half of the genetic code. Screw this nurture, learning and modeling behavior crap. Its all in the genes. Its already determined. I think if you could look behind this world of ours youd see a giant wind-up knob on its last rotation or probably more likely some asshole with a joystick in his hand playing us all.
I watch those nature shows and think about moving into a tall grass hut and filming cheetahs but I dont know anything about photography. I think about going into the Amazon forests and studying insects and identifying exotic flowers. Or jumping off a Carnival cruise ship with a volleyball in my hand and swimming to the nearest island and calling it my new home. I can eat insects and tear the skin off rodents. Shit, I tear the breading off Chicken McNuggets and eat the goop Taco Bell squirts inside its wraps. Wrap is right; they wrap that crud up so you cant see what youre eating. Youre not eating what you see on the television. What you see in those commercials is not food. Its plastic and silly putty and highly toxic lead-based paint. I bet you could sell turds at a drive-thru window as long as you had commercials with hip-hopping, head-spinning pre-teens air-humping around throwing turds at one another.
I think those people have the life; the ones tricking people into buying crap. What I got, I dont know what youd call it but its definitely not a life.
* * *
Connie is polished in perspiration and takes several deep breaths, calming herself. She smiles. You want to dance?
No, you go ahead. Im OK.
Come on. You used to dance with me.
You look like youre doing fine out there without me.
She turns around, looks at the dance floor. Dont be a party pooper.
Im not. I take a sip from my cup.
Then someone calls her name and she turns and waves and runs back into the pile of bodies swirling on the dance floor.
My twenty-year reunion is next year. But wed have to fly to Kansas City and get a rental car and hotel rooms and use vacation time and its just not worth it. Connie says she wants to go if for no other reason than to see where I grew up. I tell her its just like Sacramento except everyone has Missouri or Kansas on their license plates. When people say, There are two Kansas Citys, right? I say, No, actually there are three. One in Kansas, one in Missouri and one in Delaware. And they always say, I did not know that. Which one are you from?
The one in Delaware.
* * *
Theres a commotion at the bar. One of the old guys has fallen over. I rush over to get a good spot from which to observe the ensuing spectacle. I even have to fight off a few people, giving them a thunderous thrust with my hips, like a hockey player up against the boards trying to defend the puck. Connies down on her knees, unbuttoning the guys tuxedo shirt. Shes such a natural. Stand back, please, she says. Give him some room to breathe.
Hes got plenty of air to breathe, I said. Maam is he going to make it?
She looks up at me. Will you get down here and help me.
So I do. What do you want me to do?
She leans over, listening for something. She touches his arms, his face. She informs everyone that hes breathing.
Great, I said, getting up. My work is done here. And I clear out.
* * *
Three women approach me. I sip my Diet Coke. My sipping is purely theatrics, something to do. Hi, we were wondering something, the tallest and prettiest one says.
Yeah? I sip again.
Well, we know you predict tornados and political things but Tammy here just lost her mother and we didnt know if you could maybe see her mother or talk to her mother and let her mother know that shes OK.
I eyed them seriously. Tammy, the shortest one, had red hair and didnt smile. The one talking and her companion looked like lifelong best friends.
OK, let me see. I closed my eyes for fifteen, twenty seconds, long enough to make them uncomfortable. Then I opened them and stared at a spot right above their heads, and concentrated on it as if I were indeed peering through some kind of invisible portal that connected me to the beyond. Id gauged Tammys age to be late thirties like most of the people there. I said, Oh, OK. Oh, wow. This
her death was unexpected. It was a surprise. A shock.
Oh my god! Tammy said, covering her face. She always had a fear of driving in the rain, she said.
I pretended not to hear and quickly said, It was a horrific car accident, I said, I can see it. Shes showing me. Its awful. Water, water, everywhere. Tammy sobbed.
The tall woman said, Can you see her mom?
Oh, yes. She has red hair and a beautiful, stunning smile. Yes, shes smiling at me.
Momma! Tammy wailed.
Shes right here, Tammy. Shes
hold on. I lost it. No, wait. Shes waving at you. She says shes OK and that heaven is delicious and sweet like ice cream and shes saying that youre putting too much salt in your beef stroganoff
and about the accident she says the cars steering broke. It wouldnt steer
The silent woman crossed her arms and said, What kind of car was it?
I cant tell.
Then I dropped my gaze and saw Tammy and the tall one looking at me. Yeah, what kind of car was she driving? Their skepticism had me cornered.
An older car. I waited for some feedback. Nothing. A Buick?
Tammy said, My mom drove a Honda.
You didnt let me finish! There was a Buick involved in the accident. Its all a messy montage of images, sometimes its hard to make sense of it. This is tiring me out. I need a break.
I sipped my Diet Coke and rubbed the back of my neck.
I think youre a phony psychic, the tall woman said.
I nodded my head in a gesture that assured her she was entitled to her opinion. I walked away.
* * *
Connie joined me at the table I was sitting at. There were thirty or forty such tables, each with six chairs and a white cloth hanging over the sides. I had been watching the dancing and carousing from a distance; from a table near the only door in the ballroom, the only way in and out and Id been trying to think about things but everything felt impossible for some reason.
Can you do me a huge favor? she said, fanning herself with her hand.
Whats that? Give you permission to go to a sleepover with Brock?
No, she smiled and leaned over and gave me a playful punch, Wonder Prick.
I laughed. Wonder Prick?
Yeah. Word is youre a psychic? The dick psychic.
Oh, that, I said, seriously. Yes. Its a gift.
She didnt say anything else. She seemed too tired to keep the comedic banter going. Well leave in a little bit, she said, taking a drink from her cup.
I didnt know if it was the same cup Id gotten for her or if shed already downed it and was working on her second or third. She could stomach booze pretty well.
She said, I just want to take in as much as I can. I doubt Ill ever see most of these people again.
Why would you want to see them again? Seems like a pretty sorry bunch.
Its a reunion. Its what you do.
I tapped my fingers on the table, scooted the chair out a little and crossed my legs comfortably. I said, So whats the deal with the ugly chick over there in the goofy red dress. Tell me about her. I bet everyone hated her. I bet you all treated her like shit. If I were her I wouldnt have shown up for something like this.
She shook her head. Youre not going to ever behave, are you? Youre just going to always be a prick, huh?
I flinched. Who, me?
So will you do me a huge favor?
I probably owe you one, I said, uncrossing my legs, then crossing them again.
Can you drive the old guy to the hospital and drop him off.
What the hell? Is he dead or something?
No, no. Hes having chest pains and I think a doctor needs to look him over.
Have you heard about these women who bleach their assholes?
You want me to bleach mine?
I dont think so.
Will you take him?
Where is he?
Outside by our car. Brocks with him.
Is this a play to get you some alone time with the Brocks cock?
She laughs and leans in for another playful punch but I block and counter with an overhand left and wrap it around her neck and snuggle her up next to me and kiss her on top of her head. I let go and shes smiling like I hadnt seen in months, maybe years, and we look at each other longer than we usually do.

Training abused and/or abandoned horses
I am doing a school project on helping abused or abandoned horses naturally without without force or anything bad like that. I am first doing your five senses: Smell (aromatherapy), Hear (soothing talking), See (let him see what you are doing so it will be less shocking i.e. if a horse is scared of the saddle show it to him), Touch (touch what he is scared of like a saddle calmly on his back before even trying to place it). I don't know any for taste yet. I would love it if you added more to the list because I have never really looked into this field and I want to learn as much as possible!:D
Have you trained an abused horse before? What experience do you have to bring to the table?
I would have thought taste would be the first thing people would think of. Lol!
Posted via Mobile Device
De-wormers for taste! They'll help abandoned horses and taste not so great, I'm sure!
I spent a good portion of my life re-schooling Widowmakers and by that I mean horses so "out there", even the 6' tall, football playing, trail riding guys I grew up with, wouldn't go near them.
If you're going to get serious about this school project, it's not as simple as "theory" and what "seems/sounds" like the right thing to do. Each horse is different, just like humans are different and will react differently to the same source of abuse.
Honestly without the experience to speak first hand on the subject, the project might be better switched to title "how to nutritionally rehab an abused/neglected/abandoned horse. It's a given the bulk of abused horses are also not being fed properly. If the owner doesn't care about beating them half to death, they sure don't care about feeding them.
I never did anything with a horse when I brought it home except turn it out to pasture with my Keeper horses, just as soon as the vet said I could.
The pasture and my horses were its safe haven and my horses were the first "therapists". It learned the feeding rules first and foremost.
The horse always told ME when it was ready for something extra. If hooves were in bad shape, I did start working with the legs/hooves right away so neither myself nor the farrier got kicked in the head.
Never push an abused/neglected horse - that delays trust. Saddle? worrying about saddling the horse was the last thing on my list. I was not under a timeline to hurry and get things done. The horse made progress mostly on his terms; the exception would be if I sensed the horse wanted to do a task but wasn't quite sure.
That segways into "having a sense" for what the horse is ready to do next. Without that Sixth sense, the person attempting to re-school an abused horse might just as well hang it up, for the most part. Granted there will be things that will stump the human but they should be the exception, not the rule.
Bottom line is, don't attempt to rehab a horse unless one has a lot of experience working with horses --- brushing, picking hooves, saddling to ride excluded. It's not a black and white "I am going to do THIS and you should respond, in kind, because it makes sense to me".
Horses are not machines, they're 1000 - 2000 pounds of possible danger if the human can't look six plays ahead in the re-schooling Game of Chess:-)
The best thing to do is be fair and be a leader. The alpha mare will correct behavior and then move on. Sometimes the horse will be afraid of loud noises, being smacked about the head, there's usually going to be a more sensitive area than the others. That does not mean I won't tell a horse off for biting me. Too many people make excuses, but it isn't helping the horse.
And because I used it as an example, if your rehab is prone to bite, keep something like the handle of a hoof pick around and let the horse run its face into it when it tries to bite. I think it's a good way too reprimand without being over the top.
So I think things that need to be on your list are being fair, being calm, and being a good alpha. All things that will be heard by the horse. And drop this "nothing forceful or bad like that," mentality.

Good post Cherie. What I really take away from your style is consistency, and an attitude of not sheltering/babying the horse. Though I'm a little different in that I think there's an acceptable middle ground of making a horse into a pet if the horseman is consistently clear about expectations, I would personally rather sell a horse to someone like yourself than someone who leans more toward babying one.
myhorsesrule: In your position I might think of working with the horse on a level that continually challenged you both to improve without being overwhelming, or being so low-key that you just end up boring him. Think of what you can do with him without feeling too much anxiety, and "rig the game in your favor". In other words, take on challenges that you know you and your horse can meet. And don't take on a horse that you're not willing to keep forever, because it's a heck of a lot easier to get one than to get rid of one. ;]
Step #1, forget the horse was ever abused.
Step #2, apply good training principles (with consistancy, understanding and kindness).
"Naturally" and "without force or anything like that" are odd terms.
This is a boss mare teaching my yearling to respect her space "naturally". You can see there is force, but not without warning signs. She pins her ears first, then she shakes her head, then she runs at the baby and will either bite or kick. There is force in what is natural.
What constitutes horse abuse is the force without reason. A person hurts a horse without warning or reason, neglects the animal, and the horse does not know how to react. By treating the horse like a normal horse again, I think is the best way. And it may involve force, but the difference is allowing your horse to see the signals. If an abused horse won't get out of my space when I put up my hand, pat the air with my hand, you can be sure I will cheek-bop the horse with my hand to back up the idea that my actions have consequences. It's re-teaching the horse to be sensitive to the normal way cues work. By refusing to apply discipline to a horse simply because it is "abused", is humanizing the animal and potentially making the problem worse.
You also need to be able to distinguish the difference between a horse that has been abused or one that has the appearance to the unskilled of being abused. By that a horse can figure out a person's confidence level in a heartbeat and the horse will display all sorts of undesirable behaviour because he can and gets away with it. We all too often read "My horse was abused". In the majority of the cases it wasn't, it had figured out what it could get away with. In either case, talking to the horse does nothing for the horse. We do it from habit from assuring children

Field Hockey Tops TCNJ - Headed To NCAA Semi's
November 11, 2007
Middlebury will make its third trip in five years to the NCAA field hockey final four after a 2-1 win at The College of New Jersey in an NCAA Regional Final. The Panthers will meet Salisbury on Friday, November 16th at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania, while Bowdoin meets Lebanon Valley in the other semifinal. The NCAA Championship will take place on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
Middlebury opened the scoring 10:24 into the game as they capitalized on a penalty corner. Marnie Rowe inserted the ball from the far side of the field to Lacey Farrell, who stopped the ball for Lindsay McBride. McBride then sent a low shot through traffic that found its way into the net for a 1-0 Panther lead.
That combination cashed in on another penalty corner with the goal being a mirror image of the first. McBride's second goal of the game came with just over 10 minutes remaining in the half. McBride entered the two regional games at TCNJ with one goal on the season, but scored three times in the pair of wins at Lions' Stadium.
In the second half, TCNJ put the pressure on the Panthers and nearly got on the board as Leigh Mitchell got a shot past Middlebury goalie Caitlin Pentifallo, but teammate Katherine Entwisle was there to make the defensive save.
TCNJ did get on the board via a penalty corner as Kelly Mitchell notched her first of the season on assists from Mary Waller and Jackie Gelinas. That goal came with 2:07 left in the game.
The Lions had several chances to get the equalizer with three more penalty corners as time ran out, but the Panthers were able to withstand that push.
TCNJ goalie Caitlin Gregory made four saves for the Lions, while Pentifallo recorded seven for the Panthers. | <urn:uuid:aaf5137c-b383-4d41-b57e-7fe228e25eb2> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.middlebury.edu/athletics/sports/fieldhockey/archive/2007-2008/news/node/113842 | 2013-05-23T07:19:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959341 | 396 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Makes 1 to 2 applications
Try this sweet-smelling treatment to tighten skin.
- 1 egg white
- ¼ teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon dried or fresh lavender flowers
- ½ teaspoon dried or fresh elder flowers
- Combine all of the ingredients and whisk until foamy. Let the mixture stand for 3 minutes, then apply to a clean, dry face.
- Let the mixture dry (it will feel very tight) then remove it with a cool, wet washcloth by laying the cloth over the face and leaving it on long enough to soften the mask. Gently remove the cloth and pat off any remaining mask. Follow the treatment with a toner and a nonpetroleum moisturizer.
- Because this treatment is drying, I recommend that you use it only once or twice a week and also use a hydrating mask at least once a week. Hint: If your skin is very dry, substitute a whole egg for the egg white (the yolk contains fats and essential fatty acids) and leave out the cornstarch.

HISTORY OF FLIGHT Use your browsers 'back' function to return to synopsisReturn to Query Page
On December 10, 1996, about 0930 Pacific standard time, N4758R, a Bell 47G helicopter, operated by Wildhorse Helicopters, Inc. as a restricted category aircraft, impacted terrain and was destroyed while maneuvering north of Pendleton, Oregon. Both commercial pilots were fatally injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed. The positioning flight was conducted under 14 CFR 91.
According to the tower manager at the contract air traffic control tower at the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport, the accident pilot had radioed a request for a takeoff clearance from the airport about 7:30 a.m. on the morning of the accident. The tower manager provided the clearance. He remembered that the clearance was for a flight of two helicopters. He observed the two helicopters hover taxi to the south end of the taxiway, then take off in formation to the north. He stated that the weather conditions were "beautiful" at the time of the takeoff.
According to local law enforcement personnel reports and their interview of an operator employee (attached), both helicopters flew to a ranch located north of Pendleton to conduct agricultural spraying operations on the morning of the accident. The weather conditions gradually worsened during the morning as fog began to roll in. Both pilots ceased their spraying and landed their helicopters at the ranch. An employee downloaded the spray chemicals out of the accident helicopter, and the pilot of the other helicopter and a dog boarded the accident helicopter with the intention of flying back to the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport in Pendleton before the fog thickened.
The operator employee stated that the accident helicopter departed the ranch about 0900. He then departed the ranch by ground vehicle after he had downloaded the spray chemicals. He had driven past the accident site about the time of the accident, but he could not see more than 100 feet because of the fog.
Later that morning, the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport tower manager observed a "fog bank" quickly "roll in" over the airport, and the fog was accompanied by winds out of the west of about 30 knots. He remembered that a Federal Express Cessna Caravan pilot had contacted him and attempted an approach into the airport. The Federal Express pilot could not make it in and announced that he was diverting to LaGrande, Oregon.
Less than 5 minutes later, the accident pilot contacted the tower manager, stated that he was "15 miles out" from the airport, and requested "what's your weather." The tower manager remembered that he read the accident pilot the most recent weather observations, which included 1/8-mile visibility at the airport. The tower manager also remembered telling the pilot that he could see the weather was clearing near "Writhe Ridge," located about two miles south southwest of the airport. The tower manager remembered that the pilot responded with "roger" and made no comments about Writhe Ridge, the visibility at the airport, or any distress calls.
About one minute later, the accident pilot reported that he was "about 15 miles out" from the airport, and he was "on top...looking for a hole." The tower manager acknowledged the transmission and asked the pilot to "give me a call when you get closer," so that a landing clearance could be issued, if possible. This was the last communication with the pilot that the tower manager remembered. He stated that no distress calls were ever made by the accident pilot.
The tower manager remembered that about 45 minutes had passed after the accident pilot's last transmission to the time he heard a transmission from the local fire department that a fire truck was being dispatched to an aircraft accident.
Witnesses in the area reported "heavy fog" at the time of the accident. No distress calls were reported. An examination of the accident site revealed that the aircraft impacted near the top of a hill. No evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunction was found.
The airplane wreckage was located along featureless, rolling hills about 7 nautical miles north of the Eastern Oregon Airport at an elevation of about 1,900 feet above mean sea level (msl). The accident occurred during the hours of daylight.
The first pilot, a 51-year-old business man owned the helicopter and the operation. He was a certificated commercial pilot with ratings in airplane single-engine land, airplane multiengine land, and rotorcraft-helicopter. He was also instrument rated and held an FAA airframe and powerplant mechanic certificate. According to FAA records, the first pilot was issued a Second Class Medical Certificate on September 11, 1996, with the limitation that he "must wear corrective lenses." He reported that he had logged 10,000 hours of total flight time at the time of his most recent FAA medical examination. The Safety Board was unable to recover the first pilot's personal flight log books.
The second pilot, a 52-year-old male, was a certificated commercial pilot with ratings in airplane single-engine land, airplane multiengine land, and rotorcraft-helicopter. He was not instrument rated. According to FAA records, the second pilot was issued a Second Class Medical Certificate on April 1, 1996, with no limitations. He reported that he had logged 10,000 hours of total flight time at the time of his most recent FAA medical examination. The Safety Board was unable to recover the second pilot's personal flight log books.
The aircraft, a 1972 Bell model 47G3-B2A helicopter, was owned, operated and maintained by the first pilot. The helicopter was not equipped for instrument flight. The aircraft's most recent engine and airframe logbooks were not found by investigators. According to the most recent FAA Form 3112, Inspection and Surveillance Record (attached), dated March 26, 1996, the aircraft had logged a total time of 5,078 hours and had received an annual inspection on November 3, 1995.
The following meteorological conditions were recorded (copies of records attached) by the Automated Surface Observation Station at Eastern Oregon Regional Airport in Pendleton about the time of the accident: measured visibility 1/4 -mile in fog; vertical visibility 100 feet; wind 290 degrees magnetic at 7 knots; temperature 37 degrees F; dew point 37 degrees F; altimeter setting 29.28 inches. The airport is located about 7 nautical miles south of the accident site at a ground elevation of 1,493 feet msl.
WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATION
The airplane wreckage was examined at the accident site one day after the accident by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aviation safety inspectors from Portland, Oregon (FAA Inspectors' reports attached). The wreckage scatter path was oriented along a magnetic bearing of south-southwest. The main wreckage was contained in one local area; no evidence of an in-flight structural failure, in-flight fire, or explosion was found.
Verification of flight control continuity was impossible due to the disintegration of the aircraft from impact forces. No evidence of a flight control malfunction was found. The main rotor blades and tail rotor blades had separated from their hub and were found near the main wreckage area. According to the FAA inspectors, ground impact scars and rotor blade damage indicated that the helicopter impacted terrain in a nose-low, right bank attitude.
The engine underwent an external examination, partial disassembly, and detailed inspection at the accident site; no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions was found.
MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
An autopsy was performed on the first pilot by Dr. James B. Sawyer, M.D., at Blue Mountain Pathology, Inc., in Pendleton, Oregon, for the State of Oregon Medical Examiner Division, on December 11, 1996. The cause of death was listed as "Multiple traumatic injuries." No evidence of pilot impairment was found. A toxicological analysis was ordered and performed on specimens taken from the pilot by the FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. According to their report (attached), results were negative for carbon monoxide, cyanide, alcohol, and all screened drugs. | <urn:uuid:99e3311f-7867-4e21-8e97-b5c9588947db> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief2.aspx?ev_id=20001208X07244&ntsbno=SEA97LA035&akey=1 | 2013-05-23T07:26:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974251 | 1,655 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
The Torah strictly forbids the creation or possession of certain images.
To some, what the text means by the possession of images, may be unclear.
For example, are we prohibited from having pictures in our homes? Are
our children prohibited from playing with dolls? What does the Torah mean
when it prohibits these images, and how do we know this?
What follows are some of the passages contained in the Torah that prohibit
Exodus 20:4 (5) " You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any
likeness [of anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the
earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; you shall not
bow down to them nor serve them.
Leviticus 26:1 "You shall not make idols nor graven images, neither shall
you raise up a standing image, neither shall you set up [any] image of
stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I [am] the LORD your God."
Deuteronomy 4:15-19 "Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form
when the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, lest
you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of
any figure: the likeness of male or female the likeness of any animal
that [is] on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in
the air, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness
of any fish that [is] in the water beneath the earth. And [take heed,]
lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and [when] you see the sun, the moon,
and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them
and serve them, which the LORD your God has given to all the peoples under
the whole heaven as a heritage. "
Deuteronomy 5:8 (9) "'You shall not make for yourself a carved image --
any likeness [of anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in
the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; you shall
not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, [am] a

referrs to a carved image.
refers to a standing stone, a raised idol.
means a carved image, of a specific type - a standing stone that is
a place-holder for an idol (see Sept/Oct 1998 Vol 4 # 5 Biblical Archaeology
Review "Sacred Spaces" by Avraham Biran, pg 39).
what the Torah says on the topic, let us look into how the Neviim, the
prophets, understand what the Torah meant. A few examples will suffice:
Isaiah 42:8 I [am] the LORD, that [is] My name; And My glory I will not
give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
Isaiah 42:17 They shall be turned back, They shall be greatly ashamed,
Who trust in carved images, Who say to the molded images, 'You [are] our
Jeremiah 8:19 Listen! The voice, The cry of the daughter of my people
From a far country: "[Is] not the LORD in Zion? [Is] not her King in her?"
"Why have they provoked Me to anger With their carved images -- With foreign
Ezekiel 21:21 "For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the road,
at the fork of the two roads, to use divination: he shakes the arrows,
he consults the images, he looks at the liver."
Hosea 11:2 [As] they called them, So they went from them; They sacrificed
to the Baals, And burned incense to carved images.
From these passages it is clear that what the Torah is referring to when
it speaks of forbidden images are idols - images used to represent or
stand for a god. God even commanded the creation of certain three dimensional
objects: pomegranates (Exodus 28.33 - on the hem of the priest's robe),
buds and flowers (Exodus 37.19), cherubim (Exodus 37.7 - angels on the
ark). Also see the long passage on images in the beit hamikdash in 1 Kings
7 (listing oxen, palm trees, lilies, lions, cherubim [see v. 36 especially]).
If these were not permitted, would the presence of God have filled the
temple at its inauguration? Would not the prophets have rallied against
them? It is obvious that the Torah is speaking of idols here - anything
that is an idol is forbidden. While some Karaim have been strict about
this matter and have not permitted anything resembling an image in their
homes, others have been more lenient and have allowed their children to
play with dolls, or have placed works of art depicting scenes in their | <urn:uuid:753fe360-e175-4089-9e86-4f19611c7a78> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.orahsaddiqim.org/halakha/AvodahZarah/Images.shtml | 2013-05-23T07:18:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.905055 | 1,133 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Schools in Britain are being empowered with an increased authority to ensure a disciplined environment, as teachers will get the right to use physical force while dealing with students.
Rules on the use of physical force in schools are to be eased to "restore adult authority" in the classroom, the Daily Express reported.
Teachers will be able to read texts on pupils' phones and to erase any offensive messages, photos or videos. They are also expected to be given legal power to use "reasonable force", for example to remove a disruptive pupil from their classroom.
Headteachers will be able to discipline pupils who misbehave outside school and to exclude students who make false allegations against staff.
According to Education Secretary Michael Gove, current regulations inhibited teachers’ judgment.
He insisted that more men must be recruited for teaching to provide children with male authority figures.
Gove has already brought in no-notice detentions, tougher powers to allow teachers to search pupils for banned items, and anonymity for teachers facing abuse allegations.
The eductation secretary said the government was planning to start a programme this autumn encouraging former soldiers to take up teaching, specifically to ensure more male role models.
In a speech at Durand Academy, south London, Gove called for radical measures to “challenge the culture of low expectations”.
He said: “They (children) are the lost souls, our school system has failed. It is from that underclass that gangs draw their recruits, young offenders' institutions find their inmates, and prisons replenish their cells.”
Gove added: “Let me be crystal clear. If any parent now hears a school say, ‘Sorry, we can’t physically touch the students’, then that school is wrong. Plain wrong. The rules of the game have changed.”
Teaching was sometimes undermined “by the twisting of rights by a minority who need to be taught an unambiguous lesson in who’s boss”, he said. | <urn:uuid:171577ca-0790-4436-b33e-8b94aead51d7> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.prokerala.com/news/articles/a244335.html | 2013-05-23T07:25:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961061 | 417 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Being smaller than the late John Candy, I had to admit playing to being very close to playing his part.
Or, was it the Steve Martin character I was channeling?
Put two-and-two together, and you are correct in discussing the two main actors from the late John Hughes’ 1987 masterpiece “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.” This past Tuesday, I was living the movie – well, almost.
To get to the Midwest Automotive Media Association Fall Rally at the Chicago Northwest Marriott, I literally was going by plane, train and automobile. Let me explain how…
It began pre-dawn at home as I walked out of the house with my carry-on and backpack laden for bear. To save costs, I used the Twin Cities’ Metro Transit to get to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport for my Delta Air Lines flight into O’Hare. It is a normal routine for me to do so, as Metro Transit actually is efficient in getting you to the airport. The key is the Hiawatha Line light rail (to be named some color when the Central Corridor Green Line opens up sometime while I am still living here). The light rail drops you off at both terminals (Terminals 1 and 2 – formerly known as Lindbergh and Humphrey) and is a short walk to one of the security checkpoints.
A tip for the savvy traveler: If you are not checking in any baggage on your flight at Terminal 1, when you make your way out of the light rail station and walk towards the elevators. Take the elevator to the top floor and there is the security checkpoint. This works best when you are flying Delta as the skywalk connects two key concourses for the airline at the MSP hub.
One disturbing change over the past eight years living in the Twin Cities has been the use of smaller regional jets for this important corridor out of MSP. The MSP-Chicago run is one of the busiest in this region, connecting business fliers between the two cities. Thanks to Southwest Airlines, larger carriers had to reduce their fleets to regional jets to balance out the loads lost to the discount carrier at Terminal 2.
Having never flown Southwest, I decided to stick with what I know – Delta. Sure, I could get a much lower fare on Spirit Airlines, the ultra-low fare carrier that just opened up business at Terminal 2, but I felt more comfortable and confident in Delta’s ability to get me there.
They did. To accomplish this, I had to upgrade my seat to the front row of coach. It was worth the $19.00 to get legroom for the 53-minute airtime above Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. However, I was missing something – elbow room. I am not a thin person, but it would be nice if I had some space to bend an arm against the window. Bad move on my part getting a window seat – should have stuck with the aisle. Maybe I will choose my flights better next time and get a real jet – like an Airbus A320 or a Boeing 737-800.
Regardless of which airport you are flying in, if you choose not to rent a car or pre-arrange transport to your non-Loop destination, you have no choice but to take the Chicago Transit Authority “L” into the Loop. I keep on kicking myself in the head by missing flying into Midway because of the shorter time on the Orange Line into the Loop. Instead, I took the Blue Line out of O’Hare – a 40-minute run that sometimes stop for no reason along the way. The Blue Line is all too familiar – as is flying in and out of O’Hare. Old habits are hard to break sometimes.
There were two reasons for going into the Loop that day. One, since I figured I had enough time before heading out to the hotel in Hoffman Estates, I was hoping to get an inexpensive shirt for the next day. I had one, but I was afraid of being “out of place” at the Rally. It turned out that I was not. Even better, I did not buy anything in the Loop – except for lunch.
By the time lunch was starting to digest, I was already at the Ogilvie Transportation Center for my ride on Metra to Barrington on the Northwest Line. The reason for this routing was that the hotel told me to. The Marriott in Hoffman Estates has a contract with a shuttle service to take me to the hotel, as the station was the closest in proximity. Why in the hell could they not have some form of transit service to the area? It is in Prairie Stone – a major business center in the Northwest Burbs! Yes, I get that no one uses the Pace bus out in that region, but for someone trying to save costs on travel, it would make some sense…
The train ride was a lucky run. As I bought my ticket, the train was boarding. It was another hour to Barrington – landed gentry, if you will. I could sit down and relax, but I had to arrange for the shuttle – now a car service – to meet me at the station.
As I got off at Barrington, my thoughts were to find a Lincoln Town Car with my name on it. It took a while, but it turned out to be an older minivan. Sure, I would consider this an “any port in the storm” moment, but I remember being told how much it would cost me to get there via this minivan – I was actually expecting a Lincoln to pick me up.
Twenty-five dollars later, I arrived at the hotel. I felt my pre-dawn wake-up by then. I needed to shower up by the time we had our welcoming dinner for out-of-towners (like me). I needed to use the Jacuzzi – which did not exist on this property. Hell, I could have used a strong drink – something with Grey Goose in it.
The point to all of this is simple: Who says getting there was half the fun? It is for a great cause, mind you. Being there for the MAMA Fall Rally was more important than the journey itself.
Not once did I go the wrong way – as Candy and Martin did in the movie. Nor did I wreck anything en route to Hoffman Estates. Now that things have improved on the professional front, I could afford to do things a bit better transport-wise for the next meeting or event out of town.
Then again, I could always use a sense of adventure to shake things up. After all, I was the one who took Megabus to this year’s Chicago Auto Show since my budget was practically minimal.
This is what I get for being a masochist sometimes. | <urn:uuid:0c5f91d8-c141-4562-bee7-3b4e57b6337a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.randystern.net/commentary-mama-fall-rally-2012-pt1/ | 2013-05-23T07:26:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978175 | 1,409 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

Windows 8 Desktop same as Windows 7
There are very little differences in the Win8 desktop experience and that in Win7. And it is really simple to get there--simply Win +D. For all those people who "build" things and "create things", it is kind of scary they cannot figure out a few keyboard strokes and yet can build and create. Kind of makes one wonder what kind of people these are who cannot add a few new words to their vocabulary. And there are some huge plusses for Win8 even for the desktop user. The desktop in Win8 is actually easier to use than in Win 7 and for sure xp.You can pin all your apps and files you are working on directly on the start screen and voila, you are there. | <urn:uuid:43d4fc36-8e17-4694-a41b-681d4fbb11d0> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-393418-3687161/reply | 2013-05-23T07:32:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703001356/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111641-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970452 | 161 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Hart was criticised by City boss Roberto Mancini for his comments.
But Southgate told Absolute Radio: "I think it’s great to see players as honest as that, and it’s always difficult when you put a microphone under somebody’s nose straight after a game. I think that just showed the emotion involved when you lose a game like that so late on.
"He’s right, as a player at that stage you can’t take any positives, but I think, you know, a few days further on they’ll look at the game and feel that there was a lot of good things from Manchester City’s point of view. They’re in a very, very tough group, but they’ve still got a good chance to get through."

A lot has happened since my last blog post. When I last posted an article in early September, John McCain was leading in the polls and the Dow Jones was 3,000 points higher than it is today.
Oh, and the US lost a ton of jobs. They originally reported a loss of 159,000 job losses in September, the worst in five years. Turned out that they were off (by a lot). Instead, there was a loss of 403,000 jobs in September, followed by 320,000 job losses in October. November topped them all: 533,000 jobs were lost, the worst in 34 years (which also brings the total to 1.256 million over the last three months alone).
They say that one sad story is tragic, but a thousand of them is a statistic. It’s very easy to forget that every single job loss has a person, a story, a life that was attached to that job, and when we’re talking about numbers this big, it’s simply overwhelming.
Which brings me to why I’m writing this post after such a long hiatus. During the last recession in the early 2000’s, I was one of those statistics. It was my first job after being done with school. Ever since grade school, I was told to get good grades so I worked hard at it. In college, I was told that engineers would always be in demand so I worked hard in that major. When I worked for an internet company, I was told to work hard and I would get rewarded in stock options. The company went bankrupt, my stock options were worthless and I was out of a job. I remember telling myself, “It wasn’t supposed to end this way. I did what I was told. I was faithful and worked hard but I have nothing to show for it.” I was angry and unemployed.
Fast forward to the present. I had to take a break with my blog to write a proposal for the company I work for today. While I was writing that proposal, I got news of winning a previous proposal I wrote (I mentioned it in my last post). So what about that proposal that made me take a break from blogging? I just found out I won that too.
What changed? Getting laid off a few years ago taught me the hard lesson that I can’t let others think for me - I need to think for myself. I also learned that the Puritanical devotion of working hard is not nearly as valuable as working smart.
I’ve always wanted to get back to blogging, but the recent economic turn has really inspired me to pick it up again. I was in the middle of redesigning the blog layout for a relaunch, but I’m not sure I can wait that long. There’s chock full of stuff I want to write about! I started this blog as an outlet for myself to help people do the right things for pursuing their goals and dreams. It seems like a good time for me to blog about it again. | <urn:uuid:555fc675-c3fd-4e0d-9cb7-5b69d79dd5d5> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://7pproductions.com/blog/2008/12/09/533000-is-too-much/ | 2013-05-25T15:42:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705957380/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120557-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991208 | 633 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Paris Hilton has had a jolt to wake up and now act out the true Aqurarian role she’s come here to accomplish. There will be some very significant luring, to go back to the illusionary surface world of glitz and glamor. The mentoring and coaching she received from a spiritual advisor got her through the dark tunnel she found herself in, grasping for light. All of what seemed to work before in her life, won’t work anymore. Hope this person will stay on to help her get to the next step on this journey as she’ll need the support and guidance. This is a spark igniting in the world- espy in Hollywood– To all of those young people who will also go through their “Orientation” time– and coming sooner than later.
Paris spent 23 days behind bars verses the 40+ days she was ordered. I’m sure her family worked diligently to remove their daughter from the grips of jail life. Did they truly help her by interfering with her lesson? Do they truly get interfering in anyone’s lesson is delaying the process? Paris will find herself making up for this in one way or another.
Paris who was born of privilege (as society has define it) , but is it privilege? Surface world privilege will not go far in the next 5 years, unless it’s incorporated and balanced out with spiritual aspects. Paris, an Aquarian, is here to play a part to help bring society a new way to live and be- espy for the young. Time will tell how she’ll fulfill her destiny.
Sending her blessings on her journey!

Annapolis Group Challenges 'U.S. News' Rankings
Christopher B. Nelson, president of St. John's College, in Annapolis, Md., says there is "real evil" in U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking of colleges. So he was pleased last week when he and his colleagues at other private colleges resolved to do something about it.
At the annual meeting of the Annapolis Group, which represents 124 liberal-arts colleges, members agreed to develop a Web-based information system that would provide families with "easily accessible, | <urn:uuid:7002a4af-5862-4973-98c5-cdf225873bac> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://chronicle.com/article/Annapolis-Group-Challenges/13200 | 2013-05-25T15:21:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705957380/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120557-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970676 | 120 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |

(C) Requirements regarding protection of the recipient's right to control personal data
The following requirements must be explained at the time of application for assistance or services and are included to protect the recipient's right to control personal data.
(1) Whenever a recipient of any of the programs identified in paragraph (A) of this rule is asked to supply personal data to the county agency or ODJFS, the legal requirements for providing or not providing such data must be explained to him.
(2) Upon the request of any recipient of any of the programs identified in paragraph (A) of this rule, the county agency must make all data collected about that individual available to the individual. Medical, psychiatric or psychological information may not be released to the individual or his legal guardian if the county agency has reason to believe that its release may have an adverse effect on the individual.
If the county agency has reason to believe that the release of medical, psychiatric or psychological information may have an adverse effect, the county agency shall release this information to a physician, psychiatrist or psychologist designated by the individual. Once the individual provides expressed and informed consent, the county agency will send this information to the designated medical provider. The medical provider will then determine whether the information should be disclosed to the recipient.
In addition, the agency must supply an interpretation of the data if it is not readily understandable. If the individual feels that the data is incomplete or inaccurate, the individual has the right to include additional information in the individual's files.
(3) Upon any request for individual data through compulsory legal process, the recipient of any program identified in paragraph (A) of this rule, must be immediately informed of such request. In addition, the department must inform the court of the statutory and regulatory provisions against disclosure of information, if state or federal law precludes the release of the information. If the court still seeks the information, and if the information is not protected by any other privilege recognized by law, the county agency will furnish the specified information to the court itself along with ODJFS policies for safeguarding that information. At the same time, the county agency must notify the individual that the information has been furnished to the court and must supply duplicate copies to that individual of the information so furnished.
(4) Pursuant to division (D) of section 5101.27 of the Revised Code, ODJFS and the county agency may release information about a recipient of any of the programs listed in paragraph (A) of this rule, if the recipient gives voluntary, written consent in compliance with section 5101.27 of the Revised Code.

(E) Release of information
A signed JFS 07341 "Applicant/Recipient Authorization for Release of Information" (rev. 04/2004) shall be obtained whenever the county agency requests information from a third party. The county agency shall use the JFS 03397 "Authorization for the Release or Use of Protected Health Information (PHI)" (rev. 07/2003) when the information is medical in nature or the JFS 06907 "LEAP-Learning, Earning, and Parenting Program School Information Release Form" (rev. 8/ 2003) when requesting attendance and educational information for LEAP program participants. A copy of any signed release must be included in the individual's file.
(F) Confidentiality requirements for information from the social security administration (SSA)
(1) The SSA sends information to the ODJFS about retirement, survivors and disability insurance (RSDI) and supplemental security income (SSI) beneficiaries who are an applicant for or recipients of any of the programs listed in paragraph (A) of this rule. The SSA limits use and disclosure of this SSA information.
(2) The Privacy Act of 1974, PL 93-579, (12/74), 88 Stat. 1896, 5 U.S.C. 522a, allows SSA to release information to ODJFS and the county agency without a release of information from the beneficiary only as long as the information is for a "routine use" and for specified programs. Every use or disclosure of SSA information which is not routine or is not for an approved, specified program requires the prior written permission of the beneficiary or the SSA, respectively.
(a) The routine uses and approved programs for RSDI information obtained from SSA are: to determine eligibility for and administer OWF, DFA, food assistance, Title XX social services, Title IV-E, child supportand energy assistance.
(b) The routine uses and approved programs for SSI benefits obtained from SSA are: to determine eligibility for and administer OWF, food assistance, DFA, energy assistance, Title XX social services, Title IV-E, child supportand interim assistance.
(G) Disclosure, confidentiality, and physical safeguarding of SSA and internal revenue service (IRS) information
(1) Whenever ODJFS or the county agency discloses SSA information received from the SSA to someone who is not an employee of ODJFS or a county agency, it must do so only for a routine use of an approved program and must disclose only the information needed to accomplish the purpose of the routine use.
(2) ODJFS may disclose SSA information to another state agency, provided it is for routine use for an approved program and only the needed information is disclosed.
(3) ODJFS and/or the county agency must keep a record every time they disclose information received from SSA to anyone who is not an employee of ODJFS or a county agency, even if the disclosure is for a routine use.
(a) The required record of disclosure of SSA information must be kept in the individual case record and also in a central county agency file.
(b) The case record notation and the central file must contain the date of disclosure, the information disclosed, the purpose of the disclosure, and the person to whom the information was disclosed. For the case record, the county agency must enter the notation about the disclosure. For the central file, the county agency must maintain separate records, for each source of data disclosed.
(c) The record of disclosure must be retained for five years or the life of the application, whichever is longer. The disclosure records are subject to inspection by the SSA.
(4) The IRS sends unearned income information received from 1099 forms filed with that agency to ODJFS regarding applicants and recipients of any of the programs listed in paragraph (A) of this rule.
(5) 26 U.S.C. 6103 (1/07), allows the disclosure of tax return information to federal, state and local agencies by the IRS for use in their temporary assistance for needy families and food assistance programs. The return information is disclosed solely for the purpose of, and to the extent necessary in, determining eligibility for, or the correct amount of benefits under the specified programs.
(6) IRS return information may not be disclosed to, exchanged with, or utilized by any other state agency. ODJFS and county agency employees who are entitled to access tax return information generally must not disclose this information to any party outside the agency other than the taxpayer to whom the information relates or the taxpayer's duly appointed representative who has the explicit authority to obtain tax return information.
(7) To the extent that disclosure of IRS information is necessary to verify eligibility for and the correct amount of benefits, including past benefits, such disclosure may be made only when there is no other means of verifying the unearned income information, and only to the extent necessary to verify the unearned income information.
(a) All ODJFS and county agency employees with access to IRS return information shall have disclosure awareness training for safeguarding requirements and must be advised on an annual basis of IRS penalty provisions.
(b) A permanent system of standardized record keeping must be maintained by the county agency which documents requests for, and disclosure of return information. If redisclosure is authorized, the information disclosed outside the agency must be recorded on a separate list which reflects to whom the disclosure was made, what was disclosed, why and when it was disclosed.

Just as you can't paint all corporations with the same brush, it's unfair to paint lawyers with one. There have been a number of class-action suits in recent years, for example, that forced companies that otherwise perform well to reel in exaggerated or unsupported health claims about products ranging from tennis shoes to yogurt. We want companies to be truthful in their advertising and fair in their dealings with consumers. Government agencies don't have the money to inspect every issue, so this right for individuals to go to court helps keep the market fair -- and what's more, it ensures that only the company that did the wrong thing pays.
This sounds like a loan against her tax refund. Could you have her contact me via email w/more details and her contact info? sharris @plaind.com
I think you probably have someting like a linked account that, if you overdraft, would let you pull the money from a linked savings account or put it on a credit card. The overdraft protection the CFPB is looking at is more like a loan - you swipe your card, the money's not in your account and rather than declining the transaction, the bank provides you with the money and then charges you a fee of up to $35 for that transaction. Plus, you could incur additional fees for subsequent overdrafts caused by the shortage if you fail to put the overdrawn amount and the fees back into your account right away.
Many banks provide cheaper alternatives to overdraft protection.
A linked account is a much cheaper alternative.
Consumers can also sign up for alerts from their banks when their accounts get down to a certain amount, which can help people who don't track their balances often.
And frankly, it's not a bad idea to keep a little cushion -- say a hundred bucks or so -- in your account that you pretend isn't there to cover you. But lots of people who live paycheck to paycheck or who are just starting out have trouble doing that. See this: http://www.cleveland.com/consumeraffairs/index.ssf/2012/01/study_finds_few_have_enough_sa.html
They both involve overdrafts, but they're different animals. The class-action suits brought against banks on behalf of consumers are meant to get consumers refunds for an allegedly deceptive or unfair practice and, in the process, convince the banks who have to pay on judgments or settlments that maybe they should change their ways.
The CFPB seems to be taking more the approach of finding out how what the range of overdraft practices is, with an eye to developing clearer consumer disclosures and rules that banks would have to follow
To give you an idea, CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in remarks prepared for delivery today: "The Bureau recently surveyed the websites of several larger banks to examine whether the information was presented in a manner that would be intuitively informative for their customers. While some banks did provide user-friendly information, many did not. One website required consumers to visit three separate pages and then scroll through fifty pages of dense text - just to obtain all of the pertinent information about account fees. This so-called "disclosure" is virtually the opposite of transparency."
There have been some changes in overdraft policies in the marketplace because of the suits, because of voluntary bank changes and because of the Fed rule that went into effect a couple years ago forbidding banks from automatically signing consumers up for overdraft coverage on ATM withdrawals and nonrecurring debit transactions.
Co-signers on any loan, whether it's a car loan or a school loan, can be held liable for payments if the borrower doesn't pay as promised.
Federal student loans do not require a co-signer, but private student loans often do.
Beyond that, parents who take out federal PLUS loans are solely responsible for payments. It's the parents who are borrowers, not the students. PLUS loans do offer arrangements if parents run into trouble or lose their jobs. For more on PLUS repayment plans, etc., see http://www.direct.ed.gov/parentrepay.html
Parents should not co-sign school loans or take out any loans on behalf of their children unless they are sure they can comfortably repay them.
I don't think anyone is saying people shouldn't pay money they owe.
Rather, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protects people from abusive tactics, including repeated calls for debtors and debts they don't know anything about. The Fair Credit Reporting Act lets consumers dispute information that's untrue on their credit reports -- and false information could harm their ability to get credit.
Companies can try to collect even time-barred debt, they just can't make people think they're about to be dragged to court if they can't actually be sued.
@VTEX Ha! At least you know where to find the PD if something goes wrong, we're at 1800 Superior Ave.
As with most things, it's the rogue companies that poison the well. Some of these sites that sell health products and "free" credit reports just will not let people cancel without paying. Then of course, there's the whole separate issue of the health claims.
Thanks for reading!
Actually, the FTC's suit alleged, among other things, that the company fabricated the celebrity endorsements and that it lacked scientific evidence for its health claims.
Here's a link to the original complaint: http://ftc.gov/os/caselist/1023028/100816centralcoastcmpt.pdf

Ohio's AG has sued big banks on behalf of state pension funds. The office, also in its capacity as the attorney that represents the state, has joined a multistate investigation into foreclosures that violated the rules of the state's courts by failing to provide the required documentation.
It has never sued banks on behalf of individual consumers.
The Consumer Sales Practices Act-- the state's main consumer -- specifically exempts federally chartered banks and any other financial institution listed in Ohio's Revised Code (5725.01)
Other states may have different authority through their own laws, but prior to Dodd-Frank, some bank regulators declared their rules preempted state law -- and precluded AGs from enforcing federal rules. Dodd-Frank gives the CFPB narrow guidelines it needs to follow if it wants to preempt states, but the bureau has already said it wants to work with AGs, so I think that will be a less contentious relationship than in the past. Especially since a former state attorney general (Richard Cordray) is now the director.
The state attorney general's office doesn't have regulatory authority over financial institutions. Federally chartered banks are federally regulated -- before Dodd-Frank, by about seven separate regulators who often had conflicting rules.
You're free to disagree, but the creation of the CFPB actually did streamline goverment by merging the consumer protection functions of seven agencies into one.
And sorry, but if this agency gets put into the maw of appropriations, you can expect it to to be financially starved to death, just like the old U.S. Office of Consumer Protection.
Plain Dealing is a column that runs in business and it contains opinion. I understand your confustion because it's a lot easier to tell that it's a column in the print version (which carries a little sig with my photo and the Plain Dealing label) than online. Anytime you see a colon and a source in a headline online (for example ":plain dealing" you can figure it's the opinion of the writer or the source named. Hope that helps.
On your other point, the law does allow for the court to mete out enhanced damages if the plaintiff can prove they are warranted -- the point is to deter bad behavior for those few businesses who use fraud and deception as a sales tool. If they just had to pay back whet they took and some attorney's fees, there's not really an economic disincentive against cheating. Courts are the backstop when things really go off the rails.
Thanks for reading and weighing in.
Job scams can work a couple different ways. Sometimes scammers ask for money or a bank account number. Occasionally, though, they're after information they can sell -- like your name, dob and SSN. I've got a number of job scams listed at www.cleveland.com/scamfinder -- take a look.
Stories you read on the site are rarely copyedited before they're posted, especially ones like this, which are revised as they develop. Stuff in the papers always gets a read by copyeditors before you see it. (Free has its drawbacks.) But I appreciate the careful read.
Sea monkeys are not a work-from-home business. They are a natural wonder!
When I was growing up, I always wanted to get those -- and to win the "Draw Binky" contest. Two childhood dreams that never came to pass. Sigh.

- Genre: Comedy
- Details: UK/105mins 15A
- Release Date: 04/06/2010
Djalili is a family man whose Mother has just passed away. Going through her things he finds his birth cert that shows the Muslim raised Londoner was actually born Jewish. With his son looking to marry the step-daughter of a dangerous fundamentalist, the news couldn't have come at a worse time. Hooking up with Richard Schiff's American Jew in London, he learns the ways of a religion his people have had immense friction with over the years - but in a funny, slapstick way.
Not as smart as it thinks it is, and directed in a TV by-the-numbers fashion, The Infidel is a movie that probably worked better during its inception than it does on celluloid. Baddiel is obviously trying to make a point about tolerance in a comedic manner, and Djalili coveys the apathy of a moderate Muslin very well, but can't elevate a 'limping past the first' third script, that descends into utter farce towards the end. The point-and-shoot, somewhat uninspired helming from Appignanesi really doesn't help, as he struggles to keep things moving along, and make the film look less like an episode of The Bill.
There are some moments of sharpness; the majority of them from Djalili. His initial meeting with Schiff's cabby is thoroughly amusing, with the two playing off each other well from then on in. But cameos from the likes of Matt Lucas and Paul Kaye seem to have been included to beef up the casting list on IMDB, and nothing else.
A fine idea for a film, The Infidel has a strong leading man, and some mildly cutting comedy. It just fails to find a tone its comfortable with, and doesn't have enough laughs, or enough drama to find a home in either category, or find a happy medium within the two.

What we’re reading in the off-season … besides this Onion article with the headline: Joe Montana To Lose One Super Bowl Ring For Every Dumb Product He Endorses
Greg Bishop of The Times caught up with LaDainian Tomlinson in New Jersey, Darrelle Revis is back on the field, and the former Times sportswriter Clifton Brown, now working for SportingNews.com, has picked the Jets to win the Super Bowl. For that to happen, Mark Sanchez will have to be more than a caretaker. Brian Bassett of the Jets Blog says Sanchez, a football gym rat who has spent time going over tape with the former quarterback Rich Gannon, is doing everything right this off-season.
He’s recovering nicely from his surgery, he’s spent most of his time in New York learning the offense or getting shooed out of offices by coaches, and his OC Brian Schottenheimer thinks he’s going to be better this year, mostly because he’ll understand the whole offense.
The biggest problem as Schotty sees it, is that while Sanchez knew his passing routes last season, he didn’t have time to grasp his protections in detail. So in effect he went through the entirety of the 2009 season not really knowing his full offense, where he could set up, where the pressure would come from.
Sanchez also played a key role in recruiting Tomlinson: From Bishop’s article:
The most important pitch, though, came from quarterback Mark Sanchez, who dropped off a gift — Tomlinson described it as a “crystal, with a Jets helmet that lights up from the bottom” — hours before Tomlinson’s departure, at 7 a.m.
That said something, about an organization that Tomlinson found more like a family than the Chargers, about a young quarterback who seemed mature beyond his years. Tomlinson came for many reasons — including his familiarity with the offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer, and his fondness for Coach Rex Ryan — but Sanchez sealed it.
“He sold me,” Tomlinson said. “I already felt an instant connection. I felt like, if the quarterback of the team is this way, there’s going to be a lot of guys just like him.”

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is no fan of Tony Kornheiser. From Michael David Smith, ProFootballTalk.com:
“You know who was better than Tony Kornheiser? Dennis Miller was ten times better,” Rodgers said, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. “Dennis Miller was a great comedian, but one of the worst Monday Night Football guys ever.”
Isaac Bruce will officially retire on Wednesday. He’ll be in competition with a lot of talented wideouts to be a Hall of Famer. Nancy Gay, AOL FanHouse
Don Banks of SI.com with a nice nugget on Bruce:
Bruce is the league’s last remaining player to have suited up in the regular season as a Los Angeles Ram, the team that drafted him out of then Memphis State University in 1994’s second round.
There are N.F.L. fans in their 20s who have no recollection that an N.F.L. team once played in Los Angeles.
The Giants’ Perry Fewell says he’ll be flexible with his defensive coverages. Mike Garafolo of The Star-Ledger applauds.
The Giants will be back in Albany this summer. The team announced training camp dates.

In its pilot stage, First Ascenders core program will be a six-week intensive introduction to the world of rock climbing through experiential learning. First Ascenders will meet once a week on the weekends to allow for maximum opportunities to prepare for, participate in, and debrief the climbing experience.
The first two sessions will take place at an exclusive indoor climbing facility in which trained and licensed guides will introduce participants to some of the basic techniques and safety procedures required for the sport. This period of time will also provide the participants and staff with an opportunity to develop a comfortable and trusting group dynamic that will enable them to take emotional risks and excel in their climbing.
Beginning in the 3rd week of the program, participants will be taken to local outdoor climbing sites by licensed guides and First Ascenders staff. They will be taken to these locations where they will spend the day learning about their environment, tackling new climbing routes, and reflecting on their experiences. A critical element of our program will be the individual and group analysis of the climbing process through the lens of problem solving and goal setting. Through these discussions, participants will be able to not only refine their climbing ability by learning from their mistakes and those of others but also understand how they can apply their experiences climbing to all other aspects of their lives.
In the future, First Ascenders would like to extend programming to include a long-term support structure for participants that would allow members to maintain their relationship to the outdoors and the sport of rock climbing. Other services would include academic tutoring, 1 on 1 mentoring, establishing rock climbing and outdoor clubs at schools and community centers, and generally fostering a multi-faceted network of supporting individuals. | <urn:uuid:f28fc2ee-92e9-4eba-92d0-2ffdcf6a1953> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://firstascenders.org/our-program/ | 2013-05-25T15:34:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705957380/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120557-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961641 | 341 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
How did I get started?
December 2009(I canít recall the exact date); I was just to report some leavers back then. Suddenly I just got curious about the forum so I browsed it. Upon browsing the sections Iíve seen these so called Forum Events. I learned that I can get EXPs, and Gold and Premium membership upon winning those events so Iíve decided to give it a try. On that day, my Garena PH Forum life started.
What kind of former I was?
I believe that I was once a troublesome former. Requesting Tanungan Section to have an attendance thread. Posting on every attendance thread. Posting non-sense. Rating photos on the Dream Babe Thread.
When did I started helping others?
Zieg organized an event. The most helpful forumers will the winners of that event so Iíve decided to help, help, help(I was like OMG! 21 days Premium Membersip for the winners!). I provided assistance right away to those in need after seeing that event announcement. I answer the questions and inquiries on Tanungan Section in a very detailed manner and made myself so polite. Guess what? I became one of the winnersÖ Yeepee!
I continued lending my hands to other even after the event was over. It just became a part of my cycle.
Where did I get this kind of attitude?
One day, I saw the Staff Recruitment section. I browse, browse, browse. . . I saw how Conan and Cin-darell-a interrogate the applicants. They were both cool! Upon reading the discussions held on that section, I realized how important the rules are. I promised myself then to stick with rules.
Why did I apply?
I was resting one day(with my computer turned on). Suddenly Jan approached me and told me to give it a try(apply to be moderator). I donít want it at first, I even told Jan that if ever I get accepted, people might laugh at me since Iím not good in playing DotA. But since I donít have anything to do that day, I posted my application(Tanungan Section). :]
Luckily, I got accepted. I was so happy that time. I even jumped because of my joy, honestly.
My promotion dates:
Feb. 22, 2010 - TRIAL MODERATOR
Apr. 13, 2010 - MODERATOR
Aug. 5, 2010 - CATEGORY MODERATOR
Feb. 6, 2011 - SUPER MODERATOR

1up.com has a feature on the growing business of videogame coaching. From the article: "This is where Tom Taylor comes in. He's one of the rising stars in the Halo 2 world and leading the charge for one of the first console videogame coaching sites: gaming-lessons.com. 'I've given lessons to people who [are] looking to go to tournaments or people who are just looking to brag to friends,' Taylor says, adding that he guarantees I'll beat Shoe after my training session. He's gotten offers from gamers in Europe and Australia for some schooling-his rate: $40 for a one-hour session-but today he'll be training a simple guy who just wants to beat his boss once." | <urn:uuid:8f59a248-4d8c-4d9f-b4cb-e34cc97cd314> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://games.slashdot.org/story/05/10/05/2030230/game-coaching-for-the-win | 2013-05-25T15:40:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705957380/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120557-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96773 | 152 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
Jawbone has made its first foray into the world of portable speaker systems
Known primarily as a leader in Bluetooth headsets, Jawbone has made its first foray into the world of portable speaker systems and really seem to have a winner. Now I know that these articles are meant to be lighting-related, but the fact of the matter is that many of the tools that we need to accomplish a lighting project often aren't made by lighting manufacturers, and this is a perfect example.
In most production instances, I find myself sitting late at night with a programmer working on lighting looks while playing back the production’s music. A common issue is almost always associated with that scenario; we always need a decent portable speaker for playback, and it’s very difficult to find one that is both truly portable while still being able to produce exceptional sound quality. Enter the Jawbone Jambox.
At less than 6"x2.25"x1.58" and a spritely 12 ounces, the perfectly rectangular Jambox tucks neatly into your laptop bag without hogging up the majority of the space by being large or awkwardly shaped. Its rubberized exterior takes light impact very well too which makes it ideal for production personnel on-the-go.
That covers how easily you can get a Jambox onsite, but it’s the sound quality that truly makes this device shine. With a pair of stereo acoustic drivers and a passive bass radiator, you end up with up to 85dB of output with a frequency response of 60Hz to 20kHz. What does that actually mean to the rest of us? Simply put, you get loud, clear sound with some truly decent bass thumping out of a tiny package. No more audio slavery to tinny high-end range garbage that leaves your poor ears in pain and a set of blown speakers at the end of the programming session.
What makes the Jambox an exceptional tool is its versatility. It has the requisite 3.5mm stereo jack for hooking up your iPod, MP3 player, laptop computer, or (gasp) portable CD player, but the unit’s main connectivity holds true to its creator’s roots in being fully compliant with Bluetooth v2.1 and Enhanced Data Rate (EDR). This means that, by nature, the device would like to see you streaming audio to it wirelessly, and that wireless signal can come from your cell phone, tablet, or even laptop computer. What’s more is that the unit comes equipped with a built-in microphone containing Jawbone's special blend of Bluetooth headset call quality. That advantage turns your Jambox into the meanest portable conference call device available today, making it perfect for taking speaker phone calls from your cell phone or even video calls off your laptop programs such as Skype or iChat. The sound quality of the conversations is crystal clear as well, and the Jambox’s innately powerful speakers make it easy for everyone in the room to hear the conversation and chime in to be heard clearly on the other end.
Rounding out the features is a USB charging cable, power supply adapter, sleek carrying case with magnetic closures, an included 36" stereo cable, and a Lithium-ion battery that provides a true 10 hours of battery life. And if you’re using an iPhone for playback, you’ll enjoy the added benefit of having the Jambox’s battery life displayed on your iPhone itself. | <urn:uuid:6be8bc52-9e16-4fff-9015-40c39917156f> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://livedesignonline.com/gear/what-im-using-now-jawbone-jambox | 2013-05-25T15:41:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705957380/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120557-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952159 | 706 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
*Oh I get it. Microsoft employees love Bill Gates, so naturally they’ll eat at a restaurant that wants him to be mayor. Right?
This afternoon’s article on Marketing Mag discusses Jack Astor’s promotion of Bill Gates for mayor. The sudden stunt was initiated because of a Microsoft convention that is taking place in town over the next couple days. And with over 15,000 Microsoft employees, why not? I just wonder where the connection between Bill Gates and Jack Astor’s really lays.
Just because the opportunity is there, doesn’t mean that you it’s right for you. Similar to when I went to Jack Astor’s, only to find all the employees it what was the most outrageous hipster wear. It just seemed way off brand.
But that’s just me. | <urn:uuid:90ae02f1-b039-4502-9e9c-5e377dbab1e7> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://matthewstasoff.com/post/26853509978/oh-i-get-it-microsoft-employees-love-bill-gates | 2013-05-25T15:40:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705957380/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120557-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957739 | 176 | null | null | HuggingFaceFW/fineweb |
