Transformers The Game is a third-person action shooting game that places you in an open world environment where you must complete an overall objective while being able to take side missions. The game is available for the Wii PC Xbox 360 and PS3. Many people have complimented the excellent use of the Wii's motion controls with Transformers The Game.
You are able to take up the cause of the Autobots where you must save mankind or the Decepticons where you must turn all electronics on earth into Decepticons in order to destroy mankind. In this game you play as a transformer who is able to change into a vehicle which is why some of the objectives include racing from one location to another. You have five attack options one of which includes picking up items from around you to use against your enemies. The Wii version allows you to play as extra characters that the other formats do not allow. If you play on the Wii you may also play as Ratchet Bonecrusher Shockwave and Brawl.
Transformers The Game has an uneven difficulty curve the camera angles are less than perfect at times and many find the game too short. However the game is inventive it is challenging and the graphics and sound effects have been universally praised by critics. Considering that the source material was effectively a terrible movie you have to admit that Transformers The Game far exceeds what many may have expected.
i think it is the best out of any transformers video game based on the action.
What do you think about Transformers The Game? Do you recommend it? Why?

In The Fate of Ideas: Seductions, Betrayals, Appraisals, Robert Boyers reflects on his allegiances and disputes with some of the twentieth century’s most transformative writers, artists, and thinkers. Centering his chapters around specific ideas, Boyers explores the process by which they fall in and out of fashion. Through encounters with authority, fidelity, “the other,” pleasure, and a wide range of other topics, Boyers gives us a glimpse of his own life and, in the process, studies the fate of ideas in a society committed to change, yet ill equipped to assess the losses of modernity.
Among the writers who appear in these pages are Susan Sontag and V. S. Naipaul, Jamaica Kincaid and J. M. Coetzee, as well as figures drawn from all walks of life, including unfaithful husbands, psychoanalysts, terrorists, and besotted beauty lovers.
Read an excerpt from his tenth chapter, “Psychoanalysis”, in The Fate of Ideas: Seductions, Betrayals, Appraisals, below.
For us, science is a refuge from uncertainties, promising — and in some measure delivering — the miracle of freedom from thought.
Psychoanalysis is that illness for which it regards itself as the cure.
The sociologist Philip Rieff, perhaps the most brilliant critic of the psychoanalytic tradition, often derided what he called mediums “fit only for messages.” Is psychoanalysis one such medium? Surely it can seem so. In attempting to explain a multitude of complex, often unfathomable sentiments, contradictions, and impulses by resorting to keywords and categories, psychoanalysts have often presumed to banish mystery and to reduce experience to formula. The mind, said Rieff, “begs to be violated by ideas,” and surely he was thinking not only of minds in general, but of therapists who have made that species of violation especially tempting for their patients. In offering up a standard assortment of apparently decisive and unimpeachable ideas, many analysts have, for generations, provided messages that seem to numerous human beings consoling precisely in their apparent ability to make everything seem comprehensible, or nearly so.
Consider, for example, the notion that sexuality is central to human development. Has this notion not become a commonplace in Western culture? Does it not presume to account for a great many things, some of which have little to do with sexuality? And is this notion not at the root of what Leslie H. Farber once called “the aha phenomenon,” which routinely occurs whenever a therapist encourages a patient to accept a definitive-sounding “explanation” that is presumed to settle questions about the ostensibly “true” origins of an impulse? When Freud offered his patient Dora an explanation of her condition that made sexuality central to her problems, was the message thereby conveyed not intended to consign to virtual irrelevance other compelling features of her experience, especially those about which she herself felt some conviction? And was not Dora’s potential understanding of her own condition not thereby somewhat diminished in spite of the apparent expansion of her understanding achieved by Freud’s unanswerable interpretation of her condition?
The mind that begs to be violated by ideas is a vulnerable mind, a mind eager for resolution, exhausted or confounded by the doubt or misgiving it has had to entertain. Of course, there are analysts who are not as inclined as others in their profession to explain away or otherwise banish confusion, and many contemporary analysts assert that “truth” is constructed and is never incontrovertible. Just so, many analysts scoff at the idea that sexuality is inevitably at the core of human motivation. And yet it is fair to say that in the main, therapists are in the business of dispensing apparently reliable ideas, or insights, that can assist people to get on with their lives. That is the necessary burden of therapy, its benevolent promise, and, in an odd way, its fatal misfortune. When Rieff wrote that “therapy is that form which degrades all contents,” he was contending that the actual “contents” of a patient’s experience were reduced in the therapeutic encounter to the status of manipulable material, interpreted and transformed into a symbolically significant symptomatic content compatible with an established therapeutic view of conflict and resolution. Though analysts may well contend that Rieff ’s sense of things is outdated and “Freudian,” and much has changed in the domain of therapy in the past quarter century, my own recent conversations with therapists and their patients persuade me that Rieff ’s observations remain compelling.
Of course, the therapists themselves will point to theoretical advances that give the lie to my impression. Adam Phillips contends that psychoanalysis is not so much a “self-justifying” system but “rather more of a grab-bag of [our] culture and history.” Analysts, he says, have looked to creative writers and artists for “the possibility of an eccentric life, a life untrammeled by system or convention,” and increasingly, he believes, his colleagues in the profession will come to regard what they say and write not as expressions of the “truth” but as a way of finding out whether or not they can believe it. Phillips concedes, parenthetically, that “it has always been difficult for psychotherapists to avoid putting the answer before the question,” but he remains optimistic that they can do better. Yes, to be sure, typically psychoanalytic writing reads like “incantation . . . characterized by the hypnotic repeated use of favorite words such as play, dependence, development, mourning, projective identification, the imaginary, the self, etc.,” but there have long been signs of impatience with this state of affairs.
patient, is not supposed to not-know forever.” Therapy is “indisputably a method for self-knowledge.” However diverse the schools of psychoanalysis, each having its own “distinctive version of the self-knowledge story,” there will be in each of them a controlled rage to interpret, to unearth a set of meanings that can inform the business of self-discovery.
Thinking about the therapeutic enterprise in this way is encouraging, and no one will doubt that practitioners inclined to operate as Phillips describes will often accomplish wonders for patients in need. The suspension of certainty will be essential if therapists are to benefit their patients. And yet it is not easy to banish the thought that few analysts will find it possible to operate as Phillips believes they should. To read the testimony of contemporary Lacanian analysts — to take but a single notable example — is to note how the insistent privileging of “desire,” as an ostensibly constitutive feature of virtually every human transaction, largely incapacitates these analysts from paying plausible attention to other competing factors in the experience of their patients. The degradation of content Rieff noted in earlier psychoanalytic writing remains a primary feature of the ongoing therapeutic practice.
It is tempting — certainly for a literary person — to think of literature as a practice radically opposed to the degradation of content. Freud regarded writers like Dostoyevsky and Shakespeare as having understood — without the benefit of Freudian theory — the roots of human behavior, and he celebrated their resistance to simplifying formulas. He made substantial use of the insights he took from such writers, and he was, at his best, a subtle interpreter of conflict and delusion. More, he was not invariably constrained in his thinking by the positivist conception of truth that he championed. Though he inclined to think of religious faith, for example, mainly in terms of the discernible function it served in the lives of believers, and typically reached for terms like “primitive,” “fantasy,” and “illusion” to describe religious states, he did not repudiate William James’s assertion that “no account of the universe in its totality can be final which leaves these other forms of consciousness [such as mysticism] quite dis- regarded. . . . They forbid a premature [exclusively rationalistic] closing of our accounts with reality.” If analysts have often reduced experience to system, Freud and many other analysts were at least alert to the richness of the interior life — James invoked the “many interpenetrating spheres of reality” — and acknowledged the superior ability of the greatest artists to get at the essential features of our experience.

Since the early seventies, following the pioneering work by Leo Hurwicz, economists have been studying the relationship between socially optimal goals and private self-interest. The task was to reconcile the Utopian and Hobbesian traditions, using game theory to find ways to organise the society that are both socially optimal and incentive compatible. This book provides a succinct and up-to-date account of this vast literature and will be welcomed by students, lecturers and anyone wishing to update their knowledge of the field.

Open source vendor NGINX has launched a new partner program to expand its global ecosystem of technology partners and influencers.
“We understand and have a deep appreciation for the power of community in all its forms, including our ecosystem of partners and influencers,” said M.J. Shutte, vice-president of Sales.
Shutte said industry trends like public cloud and SaaS adoption have fundamentally changed the way that solution providers engage with customers, creating space for new types of businesses and go-to-market strategies in the partner landscape.
The trend changes see partners responding with updated and diversified business models, including shifting business investments toward professional and managed services, developing their own custom systems or IP, and targeting new buyers outside of the IT organisation.
Growing a technology consulting practice as a recognised NGINX associate.
“As NGINX continues its global expansion, we are opening up new routes to market and relying increasingly on our partner community to help us provide a world-class experience to our customers in key markets,” Shutte said.

Most people who visit Physiotherapists do so primarily because of pain. Depending on each individual circumstance and how long ago the pain started will depend on the pain management advice and treatment we provide. When working with people who may present with pain we are sensitive to the discomfort this can cause. We aim to offer effective pain relieving treatments and advice with care and understanding. At times Physiotherapy may be uncomfortable especially when we are working on improving already painful and sore areas, but you will be encouraged to tell us how you are feeling during all treatments to promote maximum comfort at all times.
Pain is a complex output of the brain in response to actual or perceived threat/damage. There have been several theories of pain mechanisms guiding treatment choices and best practice over the course of history.
The current understanding of pain science tells us that pain is an individual experience with many different factors. Sometimes acute pain can be due to tissue damage for example a fractured ankle, and sometimes pain can persist and become more long term with no obvious injury. The central nervous system can become sensitised and increase the volume of pain experienced.
Not always associated with tissue damage, pain experienced can be a result of many factors. Often prolonged sitting, awkward lifting, excessive gardening, fear, stress, anxiety, smoking and depression are associated with the pain experienced.
It is the job of your Physiotherapist to give clear and simple explanations about nature of the pain experienced and what is the best course of action.
At Ullswater Physiotherapy Mary the Physio will offer clear and simple explanations regarding the nature, severity and irritability of your pain and the likely causal factors. Mary will identify your goals and develop a treatment plan to include individualised rehab exercises in combination with manual therapy.
We often see people with different types of pain e.g. acute or chronic and we advise you speak to your GP or Pharmacist regarding appropriate pain medication to help give enough comfort for restoration of movement and function. Effective pain control can often really help effective Physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
At Ullswater Physiotherapy & Sports Injuries Clinic we can offer fast and convenient access to appointments particularly if you are struggling with pain.

What is the motive that makes people participate in a survey?
Denmark has set ambitious targets of being independent of fossil energy in 2050. These targets demand a larger production of renewable energy. They also require that the consumers have to change their consumption in order to meet these improvements in energy efficiency (Energistyrelsen, 2016). So, how can companies attract its customers to cooperate with them? The answer is through marketing methods. They need to find the right motive which will trigger their customers to cooperate.
There have been various developments in the methods of how companies approach their customers. Nowadays, e-mail is widely known and it is a successful, promising marketing tool. E-mail is the technique where the respondents feel most comfortable at revealing their personal information. In addition, participants are not forced to participate in the survey and they can choose when and where the questionnaire will be answered (Dillman et al., 2009). The figure below illustrates the important factors that an e-mail should include in order to increase the number of respondents. In other words how the appearance of a text affects the decision of the recipient.
An e-mail has some informative (motives) and non-informative characteristics (pictures, slogans). As a result, these characteristics lead to two different kind of responses, fast or slow responses (Kahneman, 2003). Stanovich and Wecker (2000) divided these responses into System 1 and System 2. See figure below.
The figure shows how System 1 is a fast system, with automatic and effortless responses. The second system is slow and has a deliberate and effortful response, which makes the respondents to think before they answer. In every request there is a mixture of both the persuasive elements of System 1, and the effortful elements of System 2 to trigger the individual to participate in a request.
Motives can trigger this effortful response. When we are talking about environment, climate change, recycling etc. people are willing to participate either because they want to maximize their own welfare or because they want to improve others’ or society’s welfare. So, the decision, that people make, generates from their egoistic or altruistic motive. In other words, people are willing to participate in a survey when they expect to gain (benefit) more than they lose (cost) (Albaum and Smith, 2012). In addition, Dillman et al. (2009) present three factors: rewards, costs and trust. The potential respondents weigh the rewards and costs and decide to join or not. Trust seems to be more important than the other factors. If the respondents do not believe that they will receive any reward, then, no cost or benefit matters (Albaum and Smith, 2012). Mikulincer and Shaver (2010) concluded that the altruistic motive mostly provides an internal reward whereas the egoistic an external one.
The first case offers discount when you consume less and it demonstrates the egoistic motive where the person receives reward (money) and improves its own welfare. On the other hand, the second case shows that a person needs to decrease its water consumption because this will help the environment/society. As a result, respondents participate in this request because they might feel empathy for the future generations.
To conclude, we are referring to a hypothetical market and a potential request. Every case is unique. There are many marketing techniques that can be used, to increase the participation rate. The challenge is that there is not so much research related to the energy sector. Therefore, there is not a solid answer for the initial question.
For further information, discussion or request do not hesitate to contact Desk Research Group.

WIFE (Why Isn't Forever Easy): HAIR NEWS!
Why is it important to sleep on a SATIN PILLOWCASE?
Cotton pillowcases cause friction in hair and may lead to excess hair coming out, especially with wild sleepers. Oil from the scalp also sets into cotton pillowcases, which can lead to dry hair. If you're skeptical of this, put oil on your hair and see how many stains the cotton pillowcase will have by the time you wake up. It defeats the purpose of oiling your hair if your pillowcase gets more hair oil than your scalp.
Silk pillowcases and silk hair wraps (also called "wrap caps" or "head wraps") help keep moisture in the hair, and for dry hair, which can be common with black hair, this is especially important. For women with perms or pressed hair, wearing a satin or silk head wrap can also help flatten hair and keep a hairstyle neater for a longer amount of time. If the hair is wrapped around the scalp, this also helps avoid bushy edges and ends. With humid spring and summer months, wearing a wrap cap is also necessary for styling purposes.
Sleeping on satin or silk pillowcase can keep our mane tamed while preventing split ends from forming. When we sleep on a cotton pillowcase, the tossing and turning, or just laying our head on the cotton for a period of time, can cause friction. The friction then leads to hair breakage, split ends and dryness. So yes, cotton is known to also absorb moisture from our hair, leaving it dry, brittle, and more vulnerable to breakage. For those who prefer not to, or cannot sleep on satin or silk, the next best thing is wrapping your tresses in a satin or silk scarf. When we toss and turn, dragging or rubbing our heads and hair across the fabric of our pillows we can snag the cuticle layer of the hair against the fibers on the pillow. This rubbing results in roughing up the surface of the hair shaft and leads to the tangles and knots. It’s important that in the morning when you get ready to start your day, you use care in removing these tangles to avoid breakage. A detangling spray is a good idea, as is removing any tangles and snags before you shower or shampoo your hair, according to Hairfinder.
Have you ever did Bantu Knots? I tried them on my daughter. They came out really good to me. Bantu Knots give you a wave look that flexi rods just don't give you. You can actually do the Bantu knots on wet hair or dry hair. Of course wet hair takes forever to dry. If you do it on dry hair, you can leave it in for about 6 hours and you will have beautiful waves. Check out the pictures of her hair see step by step how it turned out. Remember, this was my first attempt on her hair (I have did it on mine before) and it was dry.
Picture 1: Blow dry it out (not a lot), just enough to make it straight and get the tangles out. Then section it off and apply your leave in or curl pudding or a moisturizer. She had about 13-15 knots in her head. Tie it down with a Satin scarf and sleep tight!
Picture 2: The next morning, I oiled my hands with grapeseed oil (but you can use Olive Oil, Jojoba, Coconut oil - whatever you like) so I would frizz up her hair. I gently took down the Bantu knots. If you look, you can see the pretty waves.
Picture 3: Gently separate each section until it looks full and you can no longer see the parts. You can then style it how you want. I decided to put two pretty hair clips. I wanted to do a headband but I didn't have one to match her outfit.
Picture 4: This is a picture of the back. I just love the wave pattern it created on her hair. It actually came out better than mine. The next time I do Bantu knots on my hair, I will do it dry. I will post pictures!

I will brief you through the process of hacking and securing Website since most of the Hackers are after it.All the startup owners or aspirants should lnow.
In order to hack you need Information hell of alot.
• You need to get it’s Ip addresses,Open Ports,file transfer medium (FTP or SSH),Email addresses,Detecting Insecure code(SQLi & SSH),System architecture ( 64 bit, 32 bit).
• Ok so why do we need these informations?
• Open Ports : If there is an open port that means website is ready to listen to connection . Take example of FTP open ports. If it’s open then it can be bruteforced ).
• Tip: Use SSH instead of ftp it’s secure and encrypted mean when you send files over SSH first thing it does is encrypts your files So even if hacker gain access to your files they will see encrypted files not plain texts.
• Emails? Email is needed for social engineering. With just a one click, a backdoor will be installed in your system/browser.There is incredibly powerful software for exploiting that is BEEF pre-installed in kali All you need is to send hook.js file to your victim trick him to click(Which is easy) and BAM start doing evil things.
• Tip : if you type whois http://yourdomain.com in Linux you will find details like Domain registrar email address,phone number his address etc . So when you register your domain and purchase hosting do buy icann protection with it it does not cost that much.in this way you will be able to protect your info.
Sorry i cant go into details here.

Although it has occasionally been spelled like its homonym toxin, tocsin has nothing to do with poison. Rather, it is derived from the Middle French toquassen, which in turn comes from the Old Occitan tocasenh, and ultimately from the assumed Vulgar Latin verb toccare ("to ring a bell") and the Latin signum ("mark, sign"), which have given us, respectively, the English words touch and signal. Tocsin long referred to the ringing of church bells to signal events of importance to local villagers, including dangerous events such as attacks. Its use was eventually broadened to cover anything that signals danger or trouble.
What made you want to look up tocsin? Please tell us where you read or heard it (including the quote, if possible).

This on-ear showcases the perfect blend between Beyerdynamic and Mimi Hearing Technologies, a specialist known world-over for its sound personalisation. Professionals of both brands have created an app, the MIY app that lets you customise your sound. With the app you can track your daily listening habits, adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad controls, create your very own sound profile and lots more!
The Bowers and Wilkins PX is a smart headphone. It has intuitive sensors that can tell when your wearing the headphone and when you’re not. If you lift a earcup or hang it around your neck, the music will automatically pause (Cool right?).
This headphone comes with 3 noise filters to attenuate external noise. With the first filter i.e. Flight, you can block out noise entirely. The second filter, City, reduces external sound so that you can enjoy music while staying aware of your surroundings. The Office filter cancels out all background sound, but if there is anyone talking to you or a discussion nearby, you will be able to hear it. You can control these filters with the PX app.
The Sony WH1000XM2 has an unassuming simple design that covers some of the best audio technology available at its price.
With Bluetooth, LDAC and aptX HD you can get Hi-Res audio. Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX™) restores audio lost in transmission so that you can listen to only the best.
The Meters OV-1B is built to be stunning and durable. It is made of lightweight alloys as well as a premium protein leather headband.
A unique feature of this headphone is the VU meter on the side of the earcups. While originally designed to let the listener monitor his/her audio output level, it certainly does look super-cool and is sure to grab eyeballs if you step out in it.
Active Noise Cancellation lets you listen to your favourite songs for 10 continuous hours without being disturbed by external noise.
This headphone comes with an extremely deep, tight and punchy bass. The mids and highs, however, are a little reduced when compared to the lower frequencies.
The Sony WH-H900N is almost similar to its older brother on this list, the Sony 1000MK2, so we are not going to go in too much detail to discuss it. This headphone has a battery life of 28 hours (with noise cancellation on). A mere 10 minutes of charging give you 65 minutes of battery power. The best part of this over-ear is that it is available in numerous colours (unlike the 1000MK2) like blue, green, gold, red and more!
So these were the best headphones that support aptX HD. Do check them out and start enjoying high-quality sound immediately.
Which one is your favourite? Do share with us in the comments.

Anoles are members of the Iguanid family, over 600 species of which inhabit the Americas. The common green anole is native to America and often displays a jagged white stripe along it back. Males often display a distinctive ink throat flap when vying for territory. The crested anole is distinguished by the prominent crest along its head and back. I have not yet found another photo of this lizard showing those black spots behind the eye and behind the ear of the animal. Both green and crested anoles can change colors from green to brown; the transformation primarily dependent on emotion but also appears to change in relation to temperature as well.
For some real reptilian rhythm go here: Lizard Dance!
During a recent trip to New Orleans I found myself stranded in the downtown French Quarter of the city. Since I have an infinitely greater preference for wildlife safaris over cuisine I was chagrined not to be able to get out into bayous and swamps of the place; some of the best times of my life have been spent sloshing around swamps. Well, you can’t have everything. But the determined wildlife photographer can always find something somewhere so I took my camera out along the backyard fence lines of some homes in the area and, of course, I found something. At first I thought I was seeing nothing but variations of the common green anole, Anolis carolinenesis. After a bit of research, however, I discovered that I had also captured a crested anole, Anolis cristatellus, on film as well. Both are common reptiles found throughout the Southeast but the crested anole is an introduced species from the Caribbean. Combined with their ability to change colors these active, territorial, and aggressive reptiles very interesting to observe – and welcome relief from the frantic noise of downtown New Orleans.
I found a few of these today and was wondering also what they were.

Accordingly, on facts and circumstances of the case, we hold that taxpayer is not estopped from pointing out that Datamatics has wrongly been taken as comparable. While admitting additional ground of appeal raised by the assessee to require us to consider whether or not Datamatics should be included in the comparable, we make no comments on merit except observing that assessee from record has shown its prima facie case. Further claim may be examined by the Assessing Officer. we are inclined to take a rather liberal approach by giving assessee an opportunity to make out its case properly and place all the relevant facts before the tax authorities so that proper arm’s length price can be determined in accordance with the law the proceedings before the taxauthorities are not adversarial proceedings and the assessee should not, therefore, be placed at under advantage because of his inadvertent and bona fide mistakes.

A SHORTAGE of hurleys could be just three months away as the effects of ash dieback disease threaten to throw the national past-time into a state of crisis.
Clare’s leading hurley-maker, John Torpey, yesterday likened ash dieback disease to the foot and mouth crisis of 2001, and said that the current stock of ash wood will run out in the spring of 2013.
Ash dieback, or Chalara fraxinea, has been identified in at least a dozen forests in Ireland over the past two weeks, a situation which has prompted the Department of Agriculture to impose strict new regulations on importing ash into the country.
A number of leading hurley-makers, including Mr Torpey, met with representatives from the Department of Agriculture last week.
“This is having a massive impact. We need ash for hurleys. All hurley-makers in the country are in the same position – we need the raw material and, at the moment, we cannot get it,” he said yesterday. “I have a number of very big customers and the volume [of ash] is very big. I have enough to see me through Christmas and on to springtime, but after that, I don’t know. I’ll have to comply with the legislation and so will everyone else.
The current legislation requires anyone importing ash into Ireland to produce certification that the wood is disease-free, to remove all traces of bark before the wood is transported or to dry the wood before transportation.
“We have very few options at the moment. We can import ash from a country who can certify that their wood is disease-free, which is impossible at the moment. Or you can take the bark off the ash before you import it – that will add a massive cost to importing the wood and I’m not sure will it ever work for hurleys,” continued Mr Torpey. “Taking the bark off for a log for firewood is one thing, but taking it off for a hurley is a big problem. I don’t know would it be feasible.

In response to warming climate, methane can be released to Arctic Ocean sediment and waters from thawing subsea permafrost and decomposing methane hydrates. However, it is unknown whether methane derived from this sediment storehouse of frozen ancient carbon reaches the atmosphere. We quantified the fraction of methane derived fromancient sources in shelf waters of the U.S. Beaufort Sea, a region that has both permafrost andmethane hydrates and is experiencing significant warming. Although the radiocarbon-methane analyses indicate that ancient carbon is being mobilized and emitted as methane into shelf bottom waters, surprisingly, we find that methane in surface waters is principally derived from modern-aged carbon. We report that at and beyond approximately the 30-m isobath, ancient sources that dominate in deep waters contribute, at most, 10 +/- 3% of the surface water methane. These results suggest that even if there is a heightened liberation of ancient carbon-sourced methane as climate change proceeds, oceanic oxidation and dispersion processes can strongly limit its emission to the atmosphere.

When you combine a good lookin’ couple, a gorgeous location & an amazing Photographer – this is what you get! Our Lead Photographer Erika took Leann & Forrest to Gemini Gardens for their Engagement portrait session, as we are photographing their Wedding next year. Here at Michael’s Photography & Video, we believe in a balanced approach for our sessions. Erika blended Lifestyle & Editorial with classical posing for this session and here are their stunning results. Our very best to Leann & Forrest and we look forward to their Wedding next April!
Chrissy didn’t let a few raindrops spoil her wedding day! We started at her mother’s home with our preparations photos along with her bridemaids. Awaiting our bride, was a sweet letter from her groom-to-be Billy that brought both laughter & tears as she read it in front of her girls. We then traveled to the ceremony location; Epiphany Church in Port Orange. The ceremony went well, followed by our family & wedding party portraits. The bride & groom had their reception at Atlantic Center of the Arts in New Symrna. A beautiful venue nestled in a serene setting of pines & palms. Jim, from Mister D.J. kept the party rockin’ all night! The food was amazing. But, of course it would be, since it was catered by Carefree Catering. J & T Bartending kept the drinks flowing as the guests partied well into the night. Our very best to the new Mr. & Mrs. Serle.
krystal - WOW! I like the pictures so much! The bride is so beautiful.Wish you happy forever.Good luck!
admin - Thank you so much!!!
Lina - I’m in love! So nice to relive this day and also see some of the things I missed in the craziness. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Behind happy to have had you there to capture our day!!
ann - Amazing photos. I love the black and whites.
admin - Thank you so much Ann!! The chairs were gorgeous with the room set up.
admin - Great job!! They looked great!
We are looking to get married on July 14th 2019. I am interested in getting a quote from you.
It will be a casual wedding 15-20 minutes then off to the reception. At this point we are looking at the Halifax Yacht Club, tentative.
Sonny & Michelle got married at the Estate on the Halifax located in Port Orange on August 16,2013. The property is a lovely venue to host a wedding, because of the beautiful location and excellent staff. Katie Hunt and her team kept the wedding running very smoothly! Nadia, my assistant held the off-camera flash and she photographed from the balcony during the ceremony. I’m sure every photographer experiences one of the “Aha” moments when they shoot a great image. The sparkler exit photo turned out to be one of my favorites from the wedding. The image would have been fine without a backlight, but it definitely added quality to the moment. I’m not ashamed to say that Nadia and I gave each other a high-five after we looked at the back of the camera,haha. By the way, the couple is expecting their first child together- a baby girl named Emma! Double congrats to the couple!

expand_moreWhat is Southwestern Public Health doing?
At Southwestern Public Health, we work hard to make our programs and services fair and easy for everyone to access. Whether we are working with individual clients, neighbourhood groups or our community partners, we focus our efforts on finding ways to reduce barriers so that everyone who wants to access any of our programs and services has the ability to do so.
We are shaped by the quality of our childhood experiences. Support during childhood is one of the best ways to reduce the possibility of lifelong poverty. Ontario’s Healthy Babies Healthy Children program is a support program for expectant mothers and their partners and parents with children from birth to six years of age.
A phone call after the birth of their baby.
Home visits by public health nurses and family home visitors.
These visits provide support for those who are experiencing extra challenges before and after the birth of their baby.
Education about having a healthy pregnancy and birth and how babies and children grow and develop.
Help in finding community programs and services and support in their new parenting role.
There is no charge for this program. Call Southwestern Public Health at 1-800-922-0096 to find out more or to register.
Enrollment into the Healthy Smiles Ontario program ensures that children in Ontario who are in need of urgent dental care can receive immediate treatment. Children must not be 18 years old in order to be eligible and have an urgent dental condition. Call us today to book your child’s dental screening to see if they are eligible for the Healthy Smiles Ontario dental program.
At Southwestern Public Health, we provide low cost birth control to women. Public Health Nurses also offer services in local high schools every week. Visits are private and confidential. Check with your school nurse at your school to book an appointment.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) may be available to those clients who are eligible due to financial hardship. Contact us at 1-800-922-0096 for more information.
The health unit works with many different partners in the community at improving health outcomes for everyone. We work with partners from many different sectors such as: health, business, municipal, government, education, and social services. We cannot improve health outcomes, including poverty, on our own. Working on issues such as poverty and other factors that affect health takes a broader local effort of collective skills, resources and strengths.
We can work together towards…..
Southwestern Public Health is proud to be part of Bridges Out of Poverty. Bridges Out of Poverty is a group of committed community leaders and volunteers whose mission is to eliminate poverty by uniting the strengths and passions of those living in St. Thomas, Elgin County and Oxford County. The Bridges Out of Poverty Coalition recognizes that poverty can be reduced by building supportive, intentional relationships across class lines. To put this idea into action, the Bridges Out of Poverty Coalition introduced the CirclesTM program.
There is now research which documents the positive economic and social effects of paying a living wage. A living wage reflects what earners in a family need to bring home based on the actual costs of living in St. Thomas, Elgin and Oxford County. In an effort to bring awareness and advocacy around the issue of low wages, Pathways to Prosperity chose to champion a living wage calculation for St. Thomas and Elgin County. The health unit is a supporter of this initiative.
Food for all is a local community collaboration that Southwestern Public Health is a part of. In partnership, this local group is finding ways to learn about our community which will guide future programming and address service gaps. Food for all offers the opportunity to network, share resources, and work together.
The Elgin St. Thomas Healthy Communities Partnership is a local community group that works to identify and advocate for healthy public policies that ensure the healthy choice is the easier choice in our community that can be made by all.
The sad reality is that homelessness can and does take place anywhere, including St. Thomas, Elgin and Oxford County, where about 100 youth are without permanent housing at any given time. In fact, during the winter of 2011-2012, nearly half of the people who stayed at the Inn out of the Cold emergency housing in St. Thomas were youth.
In response to this problem, the Community Action Network for Children & Youth Elgin has put together a Youth Homelessness Protocol, in which a number of community agencies coordinate services with the aim of housing youth and minimizing the impact that homelessness has on their lives. 211 South West Ontario is just one of the agencies involved in this collaborative approach to services, which , among other things, helps homeless youth reunite with their families or find alternative safe and affordable housing.

Duke forward RJ Barrett (5) reacts after scoring against Michigan State during the second half of an NCAA men's East Regional final college basketball game in Washington, Sunday, March 31, 2019.
Barrett is widely projected as a lottery pick.
The decision came as no surprise. After Barrett in February became the first Duke player since 2006 with a triple-double, coach Mike Krzyzewski said the ACC's leading scorer was only "going to be here a very short time."
He helped the Blue Devils earn a No. 1 ranking in the final AP Top 25 and claim the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Duke was knocked out by Michigan State in the East Regional final.
Barrett was Duke's most consistent scorer, scoring at least 13 points in every game with six 30-point performances. He had 33 twice — first in his college debut against Kentucky, and then in a home loss to North Carolina after Williamson left in the opening minute with a blown-out left sneaker and a right knee sprain.

Brighton Swimming Centre offers unique parties where all of the pool, its facilities, and staff are focused on providing a swimming party to remember. Our party team will organise a great programme of games and activities for your child and guests that will be both enjoyable and entertaining. This is discussed with you before the party. All parties are led by in-water hosts and assistants and lifeguarded by RLSS qualified lifeguards.
Full Package: Fully hosted party with 45 minutes of games/activities in the pool, led by our team, before the children enjoy a full party tea. We will also supply a luxury birthday cake and party bags. Each party lasts around 90 minutes. The minimum group number is 15 and we charge £15.95 per child; the maximum group size is 25. (We do not provide candles, but you are more than welcome to bring your own).
Part Package: Fully hosted party with 45 minutes of games/activities in the pool, led by our team. One of our training rooms is made ready for you, but parents supply the food, cake and party bags. Each party lasts for around 90 minutes. The minimum group number is 15 and we charge £11.95 per child; the maximum group size is 25.
"The party was absolutely fantastic!! Thank you so much to you and all girls on the day - they loved the pool games and the party room was just perfect too" (Marie).
"Just a little note to say what a great day the kids had today, lots of parents said it was the best party they have been to - thanks to all the staffs enthusiasm they were great".
"Just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all those that helped make Isabelles party on Saturday such a success.I was so impressed by the level of professionalism and the thoughtfulness of the team involved. The party room looked beautiful!! The children had such a great time and you took away all the stress that these occasions normally hold! Well Done and Thank you for a perfect party!!!" (Charlotte).
"We've been attending the Swim School with our kids over many years - it's a great place. Today my daughter had her 9th Birthday party there.... for 15 friends. It was totally fantastic. A brilliant instructor led the games in the pool (including two children who couldn't swim well..... but you wouldn't have known it, they were helped along to join in with the rest). Then upstairs to a beautifully decorated room (banners and streamers and balloons) for party food - and a delicious cake (specially hand baked by one of the staff). The kids had such a great time - and totally stress free for the parents. As with the swimming lessons, there is such a wonderful atmosphere - the staff enthusiastic, friendly, attend to every detail and concern, really get to know your kids. Can't praise it highly enough!" (Rachel).
"From the first enquiry I made about a party, Stefie has been hugely helpful and professional. After the first chat I had with her I'd become absolutely convinced having a party with you was a good idea. She helped answer all our questions in the build up to the day itself, nothing was too much trouble and always done in a very polite and friendly way. We had to rearrange the date of the party, which I'm sure was an inconvenience but we were never made to feel like that and once again if was all handled in a very efficient manner.
"The day itself was really great. Having seen Ashley in action at lessons we knew he'd do a good job and he certainly lived up to the expectations. He (and the other two instructors) made it a really fun time for all involved. There were a few children who were a bit apprehensive but Ashley made them feel very comfortable and got them involved. Making it that much fun but feeling very comfortable about the safety aspect was great. A highlight for one of the parent's was their daughter had only been in a swimming pool a couple of times and had hated it - she loved it on Sunday and the Mum is delighted! Ashley was also really helpful afterwards ensuring we had everything we needed for the party tea. As for the tea itself and the room, we thought they were great. Some nice decorations and the cake was fantastic!" (James and Kate).
We only host a limited number of parties and so we would recommend booking as early as possible. Initially all bookings must be made with Brighton Swimming School and Brighton Swimming Centre and confirmed with a non refundable 50% deposit which we must receive on booking. The remaining 50% payment must be made at least 7 days before the party. Please note that full packages are not available on Sunday's. Please use the link above to contact us and discuss your child's party options.
We are unable to offer a refund on the deposit payment should the scheduled party be cancelled by the parent.
We will water test each child at the pool at the start of the pool session to ensure that the correct level of support is given. Health and Safety is our first concern and we want your child and guests to have the most fantastic time within a very safe structure.
We do not expect parents to get too involved with the swimming pool activities unless there are a number of very young or non swimmers involved as the sessions are fully lifeguarded and hosted by teachers and assistance.

There are many very good reasons to use a 3PL company, but in my mind, nothing stands out like the dual warehouse model. I know I have talked about this before, but it is so important that it is worth repeating. It is one of the main reasons I chose this industry after retiring from FedEx. Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx and one of our most brilliant minds in shipping and business in general, stated that the dual warehouse model is greatly impacting the industry he created, reducing the need for Express delivery.
Another great company, Amazon.com has raised the bar for everyone with their 19 warehouses in the US which offers very fast delivery for a very low cost as zone charges are greatly reduced. In many cases, shippers can offer shipping for free. Fred Smith and Jeff Bezos changed the world’s expectations in commerce and how we get our products. They both saw the need to improve service but at a reasonable cost and what they created as the exception is now the standard.
I remember talking to a customer who is located in the Pacific Northwest about East Coast sales. He told me that they don’t even try to compete there as all else is equal, but they get killed on shipping. Instead of looking for a solution, he conceded that market to his competitors out there.
Who can afford to do that? Can you? The good news is that you don’t have to.
ProPack has done the heavy lifting for you. We did the research to find the ideal locations, we set up the warehouses, hired the employees, and created all the relationships and networks needed to do all of your shipping from a second location. All you have to do is send us your freight! We’ll stock our shelves with your product, take your orders and fulfill them, and put you on a level playing field with your competitors.
If something so simple, something that creates a win/win for all can put a dent in the sales of one of the greatest companies ever created, might you want to check it out and see what it’s about and how it can help you? Call us to find out more. Can you afford not to?

Will Bloomington pass a Welcoming Ordinance?
Social media is full of outrage over Normal passing the “Welcoming Ordinance”. The Pantagraph turned off comments to their story.
Will LEGAL immigrant Alderman Mboka Mwilambwe cave? Will Alderman Karen Schmidt approve an ordinance like Normal’s that does nothing other than empower the radicals?
We know the supporters will be out in force. Tari Renner won’t tame them like Chris Koos did. City Council meetings will turn into a circus.
Posted in BloNo, Bloomington, illegal immigration, Local, Renner.Tagged sanctuary cities, Tari Renner, welcoming ordinance.
WHAT part of ILLEGAL don’t this mayor AND council understand?? WHY can’t they FOCUS on more PRESSING issues? Like STREETS, fees, taxes, GARBAGE, etc.
Because the common sense voices aren’t as loud as the others!
The last rally Regina “I love the Confederate Flag” Noland organized at city hall (blue lives matter?) attracted so few people it was barely noteworthy. Not holding my breath for this one. Do better, Regina. And remember, the Confederate Flag represents the LOSING side.
Actually their were a lot of people there, they came for awhile and left, and new people came.
First of all, wrong “their.” Multiple media reports said around a dozen. That’s “a lot?” And…I was there, too. I happened to be inside city hall taking care of some business and watched and waited for more people to show. I can count. You were nearly outnumbered by the media! So, don’t BS me.
Media can’t count! I was there, so don’t BS me.
Maybe we should go to the video? Prove me wrong.
You missed the part where I stated some people didn’t stay the entire time and other came late? Go find video, it won’t matter.
How’d last night’s protest turn out? Break into double digit attendance? Thought so. Was there again last night…and I can still count.
I wasn’t there, so I don’t know. Two people spoke at public comment, but then numbers don’t matter if laws matter. If the Council wants to pretend they can usurp federal law to please the open borders crowd, they will.
Anyone who speaks against the Ordinance is publically called a racist by the activists. Those who oppose are threatened and bullied on social media.
Renner and the other supporters vocalize their belief that voting in favor of the ordinance is doing the “right thing” meaning opposition must be wrong.
Does it ever get cold on the moral high-ground, Tari? Wonder if illegals will be welcomed in Tari’s neighborhood? You would think so, given his support.
People against the ordinance saw what happened to the people who didn’t want bike lanes down Washington St. – they were paraded and harassed all over social media, leftists showed up at their houses to vandalize and shout obscenities at their kids. This is how Tari plays. This is how the left works, and this is what we have to get comfortable with if we’re going to stop them.
That’s why I call the BIKE BLONO crowd “ISIS On the Prairie”. Some members are basically terrorists.
This is why no sane people are willing to run for elected office or voice a different opinion. Tari and his comrades will vilify anyone that dares to even question them.
Maggie, your street is next. Haven’t you seen the bicyclists carrying simitars checking it out? BTW…can anyone share the police report for the vandalism and harassment incidents? Waiting. Thank you.
I guess you missed what Tari wrote on my site!
I certainly can, Rich. But so can you. It’s all public record. Including the “in person” meeting Tari held with one of the harassed residents and the BikeBlono people. In fact, there’s even VIDEO of that discussion. You’re welcome.
I oppose the Welcoming ordinance that was recently passed by my mayor and his cronies. The law says if you don’t enter the USA properly your an illegal alien, period. No candy coating.
Sure my relatives came her from other countries. My mother’s parents from Ireland through Ellis Island and they were sponsored by relatives in Peoria. My father’s grandfather came from England through Ellis Island and his mother’s family settled in America back in the early 1700’s with the Pennsylvania Dutch, fighting in our revolutionary war. They all came here legally.
Big difference back then, they worked and appreciated the opportunity to be here legally. We got no problem with that!
Imlibe in Chicago and support the Sanctuary bill. it is your business to disagree ,but it is no your business to slander or endanger anyone lives.
I want to enter the statement below. This was not edited before I posted it.
No one wants to hurt anyone, we just want the rule of law to be respected. It’s that “illegal” thing that you refuse to acknowledge. So get your story straight. Spreading lies doesn’t help your cause. Legal immigrants are welcome.
LEGALS are welcome 100%. Yes it is difficult, yes, it takes some time and effort, but millions have done it in the past and many many more are in the process – it is NOT “fair” that ILLEGALS are favored over those who are following the rules. What is it about that that you leftists/open borders people can not understand? Also, how do you justify and even revere the laws of OTHER countries where becoming a citizen is even harder, in fact, in some places nearly impossible, but you disparage the USA? You guys are always yelling about compassion and “fairness” where is your compassion and fairness for those here LEGALLY and those in the process of becoming LEGAL?
2skipper–the issue in Bloomington is that the supporters of the Welcoming ordinance are the ones who are slandering those who do not support the ordinance. The local activists are vilifying them by labeling them as racist–even harassing business owners and their place of business. They are not practicing the “inclusion” or protection they demand. They are promoting divisiveness. Those in opposition are “fearful” of practicing their First Amendment right to voice their opinion because of the bullying by groups of activists against individual citizens.
There is no need for a Welcoming ordinance in Bloomington. There are no statistics to support the need. The State laws provide for all the protections. Creating “special” laws to protect an isolated group of people is contrary to “equal protection under the law” and jeopardizes the validity of all laws.
2skipper….actually, the only ones doing the “hurting” are the politicians who are PANDERING to one population in order to gain NOTHING but votes. They don’t actually CARE about any of these immigrants. They want votes. If they cared, they’d STOP encouraging people to come here illegally….and making it smoother for people to immigrate LEGALLY. THAT’S compassion.
Speaking of handcuffs, why arent the city council members being handcuffed and jailed for break the federal laws? Guess they dont apply to mayors and council members,just us poor folks! Why should We the People obey laws when the Mayor and Council are allowed to blatantly disregard laws?

After a quick defensive stop, Bellingham showed it’s well-rounded offense. A steady diet of runs from Aliff, sophomore wide receiver Mitchell Osorio and senior quarterback Kalien Hayes set up a 27-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Nick Knutson to senior wide receiver Eric Thompson.
Another 3-and-out forced by the Red Raider defense brought back the Bellingham offense. The third drive was capped off by Aliff running 19 yards for the score to send the Red Raiders into halftime up by a large margin.
An onside kick recovered by the Red Raiders was about the only thing that went well for them during the second half. Friday Harbor was able to pound away at the Red Raiders’ defense and score three times to nearly tie it up at 21.
In the final seconds of the game as the ball was snapped to Friday Harbor running back Peter Holt, it was fumbled and bounced away to the Bellingham 40-yard line and ran out the clock to deafening cheers by Bellingham fans, cheerleaders and players.
The Red Raiders take the field again next Saturday, Oct. 11, against Bellevue Christian High School.
RUSHING – Bellingham: Tanner Aliff 31-228, Chris Thompson 1-8, Mitchell Osorio 11-38, Kalien Hayes 5-38, Sean Ryder 4-10. Friday Harbor: Bill Revercomb 8-26, Willie Blackmon 14-72, Kai Herko 2-6, Peter Holt 12-81.
PASSING – Bellingham: Nick Knutson 2-5-0-24, Kalien Haynes 0-1-0-0. Friday Harbor: Peter Holt 2-8-0-8, Bill Revercomb 1-2-1-18.
RECEIVING – Bellingham: Eric Thompson 1-27, Akash Kumar 1-(-3). Friday Harbor: Luke Stromberg 2-31, Bill Revercomb 1-(-5).

Went to see “Bobby” last night with the better half. I think that it is only fair to look a this film from two different directions. Firstly, from my point of view, I’d read up on the film and had a fair idea what to expect, and also being a bit of a history buff I was aware of Bobby Kennedy and the state of affairs in the US at the time of his run for the presidency. So, from my perspective I found the film to be an excellent look at the events of the night of the assassination of Bobby Kennedy through the eyes of the people working in the Ambassador Hotel, the scene of the event. However, if you were not aware of the background of this film, like herself, it is harder to get into, but still enjoyable.
This film is definitely a labour of love for director Emilio Estevez (of 80’s “brat pack”) and this seems to hold true for the inter-stellar cast, all of who put in excellent performances. It is an indictment of the impact that Bobby Kennedy had on American life that Estevez was able to assemble a cast of A-list actors without any one of them being the “lead” in the film. To me it definitely seems that all of them did this film because they wanted to, not because they were just paid to!
Go see it, let it was over you, take it all in and enjoy it!

During the last decade we have seen the rise of server and desktop virtualization infrastructure as the official and standard means of creating services and resources isolation at both the client and server side. System virtualization provided rigid management of computing resources over standardized PC and server hardware for the first time.
However when one thinks about it from an engineering perspective - why does a full PC system virtualization needed in order to achieve ‘rigid management of computing resources’? Why couldn’t OS designers create those abilities in the first place? Why do we need hyper-visors such as Xen and software such as one provided by VMware in order to attain these abilities?
Short answer is that all major OS writers did not provide the proper infrastructure for running sub-instances of the OS efficiently and managing those instances with Quality of Service and fail-over on a network of hardware. A standard OS only provides the means of running unmigratable processes. A standard OS is there just to provide isolation between processes, scheduling, memory management, hardware abstraction, implementation of file systems and networking protocols. In the past there were attempts to extend the OS concept in order to accommodate clustering capabilities.
Linux serves as a good ground for these kind of experiments. Take for example - MOSIX, which is a project that extends Linux in a sense that one Linux system encompasses more than one PC, allowing for process migration. However process migration on its own is inadequate since a process is just one part that composes ‘service’, and you would actually want to migrate whole services efficiently in a fully isolated manner. Another project is ‘User Mode Linux’ (often confused with UML which is something else), which allows running the Linux kernel as a Linux process. At some point in time there was a resource project that added suspend/resume support to ‘User Mode Linux’, but except that ability, ‘User Model Linux’ did not gain ground in the virtualization field.
Take another example - Cooperative Linux, written by yours truly. Except for helping lots of Windows users fiddling with Linux on their desktop machines, it did not gain ground in the virtualization industry on servers (even though it also runs on Linux, with the best opportunity for performance). All those projects are just partial hacks in the direction of VM infrastructure and none seem to provide it in a productive sense. All major OS designs are crippled in a sense that you need to virtualized them (i.e. put them in “a box”) in order to attain VM infrastructure capabilities. Key for VM infrastructure is that you must provide the ability to manage your VMs on a cluster in an enterprise level manner and capabilities. Of course, I don’t blame OS writers for not detecting these needs in the corporate world. Actually, there were a few engineers that did detect it, and even awhile back. IBM already came up with the idea of virtualization awhile back on their mainframes. However, that was the beginning - and later on when traditional OS designs for single, desktop users emerged those features were not needed. Unfortunately those OSes also propagated to the server side, and only few saw the potential to bring the virtualization feature back under the cloth of the ‘full system virtualization’ method, adding a VM infrastructure.
Rethinking the Operating System concept, one would come up with a ‘Super Operating System’ concept (i.e. SOS, also a funny overlap with the acronym for - “Save Our Souls”), that would define a new Operating System from the ground up that would also conform to all the attributes that are currently provided by standard ‘VM infrastructure’. SOS should be able to run instances of itself, connecting those instances with their dependencies. For example, I would be able to run two instances and connect them with a virtual Ethernet link (of course, I’d need a separate network stack for each instance). It should also make it possible to migrate its sub-instances, and other aspects of current-day’s VM management.
I know that designing a new OS as a standalone mission is somewhat unessential, but I have other ideas to pursue in that venue that would might improve the software world a little, but that’s a topic for another post.

Dianne has become a lending library for very young people in our barrio. She got one 11-year old started; he spread the word. There are four borrowers now. She lends the book, notes the child’s name and age and where the young reader lives (“Black door down the alley.”) When they return the book, they have to tell her the story contained in the book; sometimes they have to draw a picture. M. is the 11-year old. He is very bright; his father is gone; like a boy shipwrecked, he has landed on a related family, close by. No one washes him. Dianne has told him he has to wash his hands before collecting the next book. She intends to increase the number of body parts he has to wash, without hurting his feelings. J. is eight years old. Dianne is quite sure he can’t read. For his book report he makes things up. A grandmother has started to help him. We suspect there have been no books in his house. When other boys are around, he withdraws, to protect his secret: that he can’t read. Recently, Dianne reached up to touch her hair. J. flinched, thinking she was going to hit him.

State Rep. Bryan Hurlburt (D-Ashford, Tolland and Willington) is being presented with the 2012 Spirit of SEPTO award by the Special Education Parent Teacher Organization (SEPTO) of Northeast Connecticut.
Hurlburt will receive his award at SEPTO's meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the Willington Public Library. The meeting is open to the public which includes a presentation on Parents Rights in Special Education. In addition, all attendees will receive a CD about special education, the law and our children.
"Equal access to educational opportunity is an individual right and societal responsibility," said Hurlburt. "The Special Education PTO does a great job ensuring that the voices of children with learning disabilities are heard and I am proud to work with them in support of this important mission."
This year, Hurlburt helped pass legislation that made several changes to the state's special education law including improvements to the Individualized Education Plans (IEP) for special education students.
Earlier this year, Hurlburt joined constituent Catherine Britschock of Willington at the State Capitol to help raise awareness of the importance of special education services to the lives of thousands of Connecticut children. Britschock and Hurlburt were joined by Governor Dannel Malloy, parents, families and educators from around the state at a reception sponsored by the Special Education PTO Alliance. Britschock is the mother of a special education student and helped organize the event.
SEPTO works within local communities to encourage school districts, legislators, and families to work together. The organization strives to understand, support, and enhance education, and provide greater opportunities for children with special needs. SEPTO serves Ashford, Mansfield, Stafford, Tolland, Willington and other surrounding towns in Northeast Connecticut.
For more information on Success SEPTO or their Sept. 12 event, please call Cathy Britschock at 860-429-8333 or Brenda Stenglein at 860-429-1059. You can also visit SEPTO online at http://www.successsepto.org.

Thanks for your comments, Tom. I’m a big fan of letting the characters come alive on their own, too. Good luck with your writing.
When it comes to building your plot, nothing should be random or by accident.
The word “building” can be taken in two ways. When it’s the final construction, yes, there are no accidents. If it’s the initial planning phase, though, I would encourage randomness and “happy accidents.” Let wild things happen in your mind, and THEN try to justify them. Most of the time, you can.
I just can’t help myself….
Jump in anytime, Jim. I bow to the master.
Excellent post, Joe. I usually start with a cool murder method, then comes the character, then the plot = the worse scenario possible for that character. Unless I’m writing flash fiction. Then it’s always the character that comes first. This is a little like the chicken and egg question, only for writers.
Seems like it always comes down to that chicken and egg thing. Thanks, Sue.
for me, it’s a mix but I’d say I start with character. What is their misbelief and/or challenge? What is the journey they need to go on to overcome that? And then what plot can I wrap around that challenge/journey that will either get them in trouble based on that or (finally) let them grow in such a way that they are able to grow and change? the overall misbelief can be something like “if I do everything perfectly, I will succeed,” and all kinds of plots can be invented that would illustrate that stance. It’s up to me to pick which ones best serve the character and the time/setting/world that I want to set the story in.
Thanks for the comments, Maggie. If you combine the misbelief challenge with the plot, you get the story question, the question that keeps readers reading.
Building to the event? I started way back in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, with a sickly-but-well-loved orphan who comes to America and is the key to the first story mystery, but not the heroine of the novel. My story is a thriller with two mysteries to solve.
So thank the Lord for Che-lan.
Great luck with your manuscript, Jim. Thanks for sharing.
I find myself crystalizing big picture visions for both character and plot, in no order. But I don’t move forward until I have a vision for both. Then I build the plot (what I call “core dramatic story arc”) across the four-part structural paradigm that I advocate, which in essence gives the hero “something to do.” Of course that “to do” is dealing with something – “it’s not a story until something goes wrong” – in the form of a problem, a need, a quest, or an opportunity. Then I ask those questions… what would the character do along that path, how would they react. In doing so, plot becomes the catalyst for building characters, and in turn, their natural or provoked responses to things forwards the plot itself.
It’s never formula. But thank God for structural principles. For me, that guides everything. Great post today, a fabulous 101 introduction to story building.
Thanks, Larry. You present a great non-formula formula, one I would be hard pressed to improve upon.
For the current WIP: I wanted to see a particular type of feel in a current work of fiction. I wanted to work that in with the political thriller genre (discussed the other week). I didn’t know how to make that work, but I kept on thinking about it, and then one day elements of the plot popped into my head. Then I thought about who the characters were that would do this. And when those characters came to me, and their relationship became clear, I was off to the races. I love my MC. While I had the start of a plot it wasn’t until she came to me that the plot could fully develop, and she couldn’t have existed until the story started to exist.
Thanks, Cat. You can’t build a fire until you strike a match.
I’m a character-first writer, although things go hand in hand. Need your character to have a certain skill set as a plot element appears? You can go back and establish that. I, too think “Why?” is a critical element in the author’s toolbox. Why is this character here? Why does he care? Why would he react that way?
Right now I’m starting the third book in my romantic suspense series. I know my hero and heroine, and their basic Goals, Motivations, and Conflicts. Once I have that, I can move along with situations to throw them into, and from that, the plot develops. At least that’s how it works for me.
Thanks, Terry. Your comments are always golden at TKZ.
Thanks, Patricia. There’s nothing wrong with putting your character in jeopardy. Death is pretty drastic, but it can work. The point is to cause the character’s life to be upended, whether it’s physical, mental or some other potential loss. It’s the event where their life is shaken and they must do something about it. Good luck with your writing.
I’m such a newbie at this, but my WIP actually started with the setting, and then a “what if” question. My old hometown is rich in history as one of the wildest Old West towns in the mid-1800’s. I’m not too sure if the character idea came first, or the plot. It was said that back in the 1870’s, when it was known as the biggest boom town, even bigger than Dodge City, there were 76 deaths before anyone died of natural causes. So, that leaves a lot of chances of murder and greed due to the silver mines. (It is in Nevada). Then immediately, a character came to mind, a madam. There were many brothels. I see her much more clearly than I see my MC. I have been rethinking the rest of it. I wanted a parallel of present day and back then, but I think it may be too much for a first novel, and be too much backstory. So, I am still thinking about this. Any ideas?
Thanks for sharing your story ideas, Rebecca. Without more info, my best advice is to proceed forward but get periodic feedback from others to address your concerns. One way to do this is to join a local critique group and/or recruit a couple of beta readers that will give you honest feedback. Best of luck with your project. It sure sounds interesting.

A 21-year-old university student is taking on the consumer culture that turned back-to-school season into spend-o-rama.
"We've been trying to figure out ways we can save our money," the York University student said in an interview. "We decided, let's just do a complete paradigm shift and not spend at malls at all. Don't buy clothing, don't buy anything for a full year. See how much we can save, see how much we can invest. Do the complete opposite of what's going on."
Right now, what's going on is a back-to-school season that ranks second only to winter holiday shopping in terms of how much we spend. Inflation's up 1.3 per cent on a year-over-year basis, yet a recent poll of 1,506 parents suggested spending on school supplies, clothes and such will on average rise 43 per cent over last year. The poll, commissioned by coupon website RetailMeNot.ca, pegged average spending at $472 per child.
Schools are demanding more spending from parents, but there's a discretionary aspect to all of this. It feels normal to us to spend more from year to year on ourselves and our kids, and so we do.
Mr. McEwan understands this urge to spend because he has given in to it. He has a taste for the finer things – he particularly likes watches – and admits to carrying a credit card balance. In an e-mail he sent me, he admitted that he and his girlfriend shop a lot at high-end stores.
"We figured it would be interesting to see how much we could actually save in a year by stopping," he wrote. "Our aim is to show ourselves how much we can save to invest at our young ages by cutting our costs to the highest degree possible."
He's young and he has made mistakes, but Mr. McEwan is an example to us all about handling money. Though he's still completing an undergrad degree at York combining English and marketing, he's the author of a self-published book of financial tips for young adults called 50 Rules for 50 Fools. He's also an active investor who has a goal of reaching $1-million by the age of 35.
Here's his plan for the year ahead: Save 70 per cent of the money he earns through the 30 or so hours he works every week at a home improvement chain, and save or invest it. Ideally, he wants to put $5,000 a year into his investment account annually over the next several years. To accomplish this, he intends to spend only on necessities such as food, transportation and stuff for school.
The most basic way to improve your finances is to cut spending, but not everyone can do this for reasons that include low-paying jobs and family obligations. Mr. McEwan's challenge is peer pressure. People want to socialize with his girlfriend and him, and he's had to say no a lot lately.
"People are saying you're crazy, you're too young," he said. "They call me cheap, although I'm still spending. I'm just not spending on things that give me immediate gratification."
There's definitely some immediate gratification in our back to school spending habits. We've gone from equipping children for school with such necessities as paper, pencils and some new clothes into a complete annual refit of supplies, clothes and electronics. Mr. McEwan is opting out this year. He's got his cellphone, laptop and winter gear ready to go and doesn't plan to buy any more.
He said his financial reboot was made necessary by his use of credit cards, which is noteworthy because of how easy it is for postsecondary students like him to get credit cards these days. Mr. McEwen used his card often to generate travel reward points and found he was unable to pay his balance in full when the bill arrived. Lately, he has been using his paycheques to hammer the down the balance.
Based on his past spending history, some of Mr. McEwan's friends question whether he'll be able to disconnect himself from on our consumer culture. He insists he's committed to saving and investing ahead of spending. "I have tunnel vision," he said. "I don't anything get in the way of the goal I'm trying to achieve."

Foundations are the new Birkin bags. Everyone who is anyone has one. Giving is now chic. Far from being in denial about it, many wealthy people fret over rising inequality these days, in public and in private.
When they do, giving invariably comes up — whether traditional charity, multiple-bottom-line investing or corporate social responsibility.
What is less fashionable to talk about is the way that those with wealth take before they give. There is an unwritten social rule now that you can harangue the wealthy to give money away, but you mustn’t ask how the money was made. There are no galas celebrating the money people knew better than to seek. Charity begins after profit.
So consider this utter faux pas of a thought experiment: Would a multinational corporation do more to advance its goal of corporate social responsibility by paying all of its workers at least $15 an hour or by doling out money from its foundation to, say, provide temporary housing to the families of hospitalized children or build playgrounds or promote physical activity?
In a sense, the debate comes down to this: Should corporations forgo some profit to help the world, or should they invest their profits in doing some good, in the process diverting attention from what’s behind their financial success?
Take McDonald’s. The fast-food chain proudly promotes its philanthropic endeavors: the $21.7 million the company and its subsidiaries gave away in 2013, which amounts to one dollar for every $1,300 of revenue; the 12 playgrounds it helped to build; the game it co-developed with Nintendo, to foster physical activity among youth; and the 15 new Ronald McDonald Houses for the families of sick children.

Last week was cold and wet. Rain, snow flurries, sleet. Temps in the 20’s at night. With all the gray, wet days it might have been easy to slip into the last of winter doldrums. But I have the cure for blue moods.
As the days progressed from gray to grayer, the buds on my forsythia kept opening wider as though their mission was to compensate for the lack of sunlight.
This week we’re experiencing clear skies and balmy spring weather. And the forsythia is in full glory. I could just crawl in and build a nest right here.
Even so, there’s nothing wrong with being a little blue now and then.
It is certainly a good thing that spring flowers are so hardy. We had two snowfalls in the first full week of March and this week brought torrential rains and flooding. Never mind Mother Nature. The flowers and shrubs are beautiful so let’s take a tour of my yard.
As the second snowfall melted away, bunches of purple crocus appeared.
The delicate blue of vinca decorates a shady spot underneath the trees in my backyard.
Tiny, dwarf tulips add spark to a bed of daffodils.
The forsythia begins to blossom decorating bare branches with drops of gold.
Spritely little windflowers (anemone) dot the ground around my bird feeders.
Pink hyacinth add a heady scent to the spring garden.
Blue hyacinth are surrounded by daffodils and naturalized grape hyacinth.
The small, rural Arkansas town that I live near is fortunate enough to have two city parks. The newer of the two parks has tennis courts, baseball and softball fields and the public pool. The older park is ‘downtown’. This park is a beautiful, quiet place to walk and relax.
The bridge that separates the two duck ponds.
And lovers in the gazebo.
As I drove by the park, the play of sunlight on water captivated me like the songs of the Lorelei captured the souls of ancient mariners.
The gentle melody of falling water lured me closer. I wanted to crawl into the fountain and capture the water as it rained down on my face. I yearned to be completely surrounded by sparkles.
But the temperature was in the upper 40’s and freezing didn’t sound too attractive so I settled for sitting down and trying to capture the sparkles as they fell.
“Closer, closer,” sang the Lorelei and I decided laying down would be the best way to capture the falling sparkles.
“Closer, closer, closer,” sang the temptress.
I’m a middle-aged woman in a suit laying flat on her back in a public park mesmerized by sparkles of sunlight and water.
Lucky for me, I’m also a music teacher and this particular Lorelei was singing a bit off key which enabled me to break away from her seductive spell. Farewell, ye saucy wench.

In How to Let Go of the World and Love All The Things Climate Can’t Change, Oscar-nominated director Josh Fox (Gasland) continues in his deeply personal style, investigating climate change – the greatest threat our world has ever known. Traveling to 12 countries on 6 continents, the film acknowledges that it may be too late to stop some of the worst consequences and asks, what is it that climate change can’t destroy? What is so deep within us that no calamity can take it away? Presented by the Peace and Justice Center of Nevada County. Visit ncpeace.org for more information.

Actually, I’ll start with the Table of Contents.
Sixteen Chapters, about 572 pages to the index; compare GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition at . . . 569. Coincidence? I think not!
The first chapter is preceded by the Introduction, which is about what forces led to Pathfinder as a game. That’s an interesting read, and speaks to the difficulties and opportunities in tweaking an established game into a new form.
After that, the Getting Started chapter starts into the inevitable and useful discussion of what is roleplaying, what you need to play, and a few tie-ins to some merchandising: flip-mats, miniatures, and a link to the Paizo website. I’m all for this – I think game books should tie in to other products, both as a good one-stop source for “stuff I want to have fun more easily” but also to keep game companies solvent. Perhaps this is less true for the 800-lb. Ogre of the game world (D&D and its derivatives), but we don’t exactly play in a hobby with weekly outlets as popular and pervasive as the NFL.
So, having armed yourself with dice, character sheets, friends, and if you’re the GM, perhaps a small assortment of other books – the game says the GM must have the Bestiary, and might want modules or adventure paths – you can get to it.
The game explains how to use the dice; and the roll-high concept.
It touches on character advancement, and then hits up Rule Zero in two forms: above all, have fun, and the rules can change to fit your needs. We’ll see if Pathfinder is as attached to “optional” rules as GURPS is; I doubt it, since the Pathfinder game/genre is not required to be as mutable. Still, the game gives the nod to house rules, the importance of communication, and cooperation to enhance the fun for everyone.
If you don’t know knights, rogues, goblins, dragons, and magic, you soon will. Not a bad thing, but the fact that the system is designed around a set of assumptions allows a level of specificity that is probably one of the reasons GURPS Dungeon Fantasy does so well.
At this point, the book goes into a text description of each Chapter. After Getting Started, we get four or five (if you include Equipment as part of character creation) chapters on character creation, plus another – Chapter 11: Prestige Classes – which is tucked between Spells and Gamemastering.
Combat is given one chapter, Magic, Spells, and Magic Items get one each. Gamemastering, the Environment, and NPCs get a solid wall of text for three chapters. Finally, the appendices cover special rules and conditions, recommended reading, and a bit more marketing.
Tucked into the chapter explanations is a bunch more genre information. Races tells you that the relevant use of the word race includes elves, dwarves, humans, and gnomes, rather than the way we use it conventionally (a good thing). Classes are defined by ability differentiation and specialization. Skills are broken out to their own chapter, as are special rules-exemptions, often but not always combat-related, called Feats.
Chapter 7 seems to blend the last bits of character creation with how the character interacts with the game world, from alignment to movement to visibility.
Chapter 8 is Combat, which has always been a core bit of DnD and it’s spawn. Or, rather, it has always been a core bit of damn near every RPG ever,with a few exceptions to prove the rule.
Then three pages of Common Terms, a glossary of technical language used throughout the book.
One thing to note: I am reading this as a PDF, and throughout the book, it makes extensive use of cross-referencing and links. In the glossary entry on Ability Score, each of the six scores is linked to its section in the book, and another link to the section on determining and assigning Ability Scores, which is right there later in Chapter 1. Score 1 for electronic books. This is a great feature. Sure, you can get there with Search (and that’s how I do it in GURPS, plus having written for the system, I’ve memorized key page and section locations). But adding links to the Basic Set would be a nice bonus.
It’s here in the glossary where certain concepts hit you for the first time, so you’d better read this more than once. Combat rounds being six seconds long? It appears twice in the entire book – once is here in the glossary, the other is appropriately placed on p. 178, in the first sentence of the section The Combat Round.
This is also where you realize that you’re going to need an entirely new technical vocabulary to play the game. Actions seem to contain something like either eight enumerated, or maybe as many as fifteen or more types of things to do, which hopefully when we get to Chapter 8 aren’t all special cases with non-overlapping concepts.
Also tucked into this chapter is the notion, which is mentioned in the bit on Bonus as well as explicitly called out in the definition on Stacking, that many (but not all) bonuses do not stack together. I can see this being pretty contentious in play, at times. Either that or a commonly and happily ignored rule: stack ’em up. More bonuses = more fun. On the other hand, while bonuses are noted as not usually stacking, penalties are noted to usually stack. I love it when Murphy’s Law is codified in game mechanics. Talk about verisimilitude!
As noted earlier, it’s important to really read through and understand (or have these three pages on hand for reference) the Common Terms. They are key, lay down important caveats that will be assumed for most of the book, and are abbreviated occasionally in many places (AC, DC, Su, DR, Sp . . .).
The example of play is heavy on mechanics, pointing out the die rolls and targets and other things. It does successfully showcase the rules, choices, and special cases that can crop up (piercing rather than bludgeoning damage on skeletons, for example).
One thing that does pop out, but only implicitly, is just how high bonuses can get. “Harsk” fires a crossbow at a skeleton, rolls his d20, and adds 9 to his total in the example.
Scores, race, class, skills and feats, equipment, details, done. This is where class- or template-based systems can really shine. Limit beginning choices, and get to the game faster.
The book gives you five different ways to generate your key ability scores, which will define a lot of your bonuses that get tacked on to your d20 rolls, damage rolls, etc. It’ll be challenging to start with the old classic “you cheated” standby of “I rolled all 18’s!” using some of the options – especially the ability purchase option. Unless the GM gives you a lot of points, the best you can do on even “epic fantasy” level is a single 18, one 15, and one 11, the rest 10’s . . . unless you nab a dump-stat or three. For broadly above-average, you can wind up with Low Fantasy averages of 11-12, or Epic Fantasy averages of 14-15, enough for decent but not shattering bonuses (which top out at +4 in the range we’re discussing anyway).
After this, you hit a definition of each of the six key ability scores, and what they effect. While one may quibble with the assignments (your ability to hit and do damage in melee combat is based only on STR . . . except when it’s not for certain Feats), the definition of what impacts what is clear.
Overall, the Getting Started chapter is quite well executed. All the basics are here, and enough reference is made to advanced concepts that you know they’re coming. Good use of the digital medium in the PDF file is made for cross-referencing, though I did find myself wishing I could travel backwards to where I’d just come from. That’s user-issue if that feature does exist in Acrobat Reader, though. Might not be a fault of the book.
Otherwise, you’ve got stats, basic concepts defined, and a decent sense of the game mechanics: roll some dice, add bonuses, and exceed a Difficulty Class, of which Armor Class can be considered a subset. Higher DC or AC is harder; higher bonuses and higher rolls are better. The universal applicability of “higher is better” has been asserted here; we’ll see if it’s true, but it would be a fairly trivial thing to arrange for most mechanics. GURPS has “roll low for skills, roll high for effects,” which is a tweak, but a good one given the mechanics involved, since you roll directly against a skill which is a target. Possibly confusing? Meh. Not very.
Next post will move into Chapter 2, talking about Races.
I look through this book at game stores and book stores. It's mostly incomprehensible to me, but I sometimes wish I played a game that had a large fan base and that was available in most major book chains. I think however my choice to play mostly miscellaneous vintage rpgs keeps me away from gamer-types I might otherwise annoy and vice versa, so maybe it is for the best.
I am going to do my level best to give it a fair, full, readthrough. I drifted away years ago, but I'm playing in a game now, and I would like to read the rules and know the game better.
But I just finished the Races chapter, and I'm about to get a bit picky from a game design point of view.
What print edition is the PDF you're using? Probably the most recent version, huh? I have a 1st printing physical copy and couldn't find that paragraph about the conventional race usage bit.
That was just a personal commentary, where in Pathfinder "race" is going to mean elf, dwarf, human race, not "black," "white," "asian," etc. When you have such very real differences in sapient types, the usual "within human genetic variation" loses its importance. It's subtle or I'm reading too much into it, perhaps.
And yet, if you get into the "default" setting, Golarion, you'll find that not only do they allow for the standard "races" but also for actual races, with differing cultures and skin tones and the like, alongside the somewhat more monolithic nonhuman "races".
Meh. The race comment was really for total newbies, to amplify that there are non-human sapients kicking around.
Yes, but…what kind of fish is Otto? Don't leave us hanging, man.
Also, I can't find a way to follow a link back in Acrobat Reader either. Other pdf viewers manage it, so I think the fault here lies with Adobe, not Paizo.
This kind. Pink clownfish of the plush race.
And of course, my girl is the one beating the bejeezus out of the beholder in the profile pic.
I hope that piñata had lots of candy. It's never too soon to start teaching them that killing monsters = treasure.

Draper HM. Draper H.M. Draper, Heather M.. "Chapter 8. Recruitment Activities at Professional Meetings." Roadmap to Postgraduate Training in Pharmacy Bookstaver P, Caulder CR, Smith KM, Quidley A. Bookstaver P, Caulder C.R., Smith K.M., Quidley A Eds. P. Brandon Bookstaver, et al. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 2013, http://accesspharmacy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?bookid=687§ionid=45419089.
Your decision is as good as final—you are going to pursue postgraduate pharmacy training. You've been asking around a bit, and word on the street is that the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Midyear Clinical Meeting (ASHP MCM) is the place to be if you're planning to do a pharmacy residency or fellowship. And now that you've made your decision to pursue residency training, you may feel like you are right back at the beginning again, trying to figure out if there's a professional pharmacy organization meeting you should attend. There are numerous opportunities and benefits associated with attending a meeting, particularly as you begin your search for a postgraduate training.
First, a few notes about what to expect at a meeting. When you attend a meeting, you can expect to be able to attend presentations, networking opportunities, exposition halls, student competitions, and advocacy and policy sessions. Meetings offer numerous programming opportunities designed to assist you in preparing for and pursuing postgraduate training programs, such as guidance for preparing your curriculum vitae (CV), preparing for residency interviews, and participating in the Residency Match. Networking is perhaps one of the most important aspects of professional pharmacy meetings, as it allows you to begin developing relationships with colleagues, learn about pharmacy practice trends, and discuss critical issues facing pharmacy practice. Most meetings offer numerous opportunities, formal and informal, for pharmacy students and pharmacy residents to network with each other and with practitioners in various fields of pharmacy practice.
Professional pharmacy organization meetings are a critical step in the residency selection and recruitment process, both for the candidate and the program. Meetings offer you the opportunity to meet and speak with numerous training programs in a single location over a specified period of time. Meetings allow you to cast a wide net and explore the potential programs you may consider, and then to narrow your search to those programs to submit a formal application.

An excellent drinking wine with fine balance, which has a fresh, fruity and delicate peach-pear flavour combined with a palatable crisp backbone of acidity.
Recommended food pairings: Smooth, buttery foods will nicely balance this wine's tart fruit aspects. Creamy Alfredo with herbed chicken or decadent lobster bisque match it perfectly.
Sorry, Chardonnay (White Wine) is only available to Club members.

This 1 kilogram bucket is full of Archibalds delicious yellow box honey.
This marvellous honey comes from the flowers and nectar of the Yellow Box tree (Eucalypt Melliodora).
It has a lovely light-golden colour and a sweet appealing flavour.
Neither too thick nor too runny, its just right.
Great for spreading on sandwiches or toast, this is an all-rounder honey.
It adds flavour to stir-fried Asian dishes, sweetens hot drinks, and pours readily over morning porridge or cereal.
This 1 kilogram package of 100% Australian yellow box honey is sealed in a hygienic white plastic bucket or pail, with an easy-carry handle built-in.
Many Australian families also love their yellow box honey drizzled on top of a hot buttered crumpet, pikelet, scone or other baked treat.
Cake makers too, find yellow box honey just right for many popular recipes where honey is called for.
In fact if there was to be a single varietal honey loved most by Australians, it would have to be yellow box.
Archibalds is one of Victoria’s leading honey producers. The original Archibald beekeeper (James) began it all with 80 hives he had in the forests near Yackandandah in northern Victoria back in the 1920’s.
Today the fourth generation of this family of beekeepers is continuing to make high quality 100% Australian honeys.

You can fail fertilizing in two ways: too much or not at all. Right in between is the way to go! Ask the expert at your local landscaping shop for the right kind of fertilizer for your yard, given weather conditions and what you’re planning to plant. It’s best to fertilize twice per year, in Spring and again come Fall. Always water your lawn afterwards, and don’t fertilize when the sun is very bright.
Your lawn only needs about an inch of water per week, but also keep in mind the conditions of your lawn. What’s the weather like? It’s best to water during the morning hours so your yard and plants have plenty of time to dry.
You might get carried away with the planning and purchasing of plants, but don’t think the work is done once the planting is over. Most gardens need to be weeded once or twice a month. Part of planning your garden should be considering how much time you’ll have throughout the year to maintain it.
When you’re planning your new landscape, you might be standing in the middle of your yard, mid-day, imagining all the flowers blooming in their beautiful colors. But what about sitting at the kitchen table, looking out the windows? What about when the sun sets? The best gardens look great from every angle – even inside your home! And looking into lighting for your new landscape isn’t such a bad idea either. Who doesn’t want to admire their garden over a candlelit dinner?
In the haze of planting beautiful flowers, don’t forget that you’ll still want to be able to use your lawn. What about dinner parties? Children running wild? In the early planning stages, you’ll want to be sure your landscaping is just as functional as it is easy on the eyes.

Through the programs we create, encourage, and support, Extended Grace can make a positive difference for many of our citizens, some of whom are among our most vulnerable.
Access to Care is a case of those who have and those who have not. Under-served adults had trouble meeting health care needs in the past two years, and skipped or stretched their medication to save on costs.

To start a new season we have prepared a nursery indoors and a second one "outdoors" inside of the greenhouse both with many aromatic herbs and leafy plants.
Conditions of the nursery indoors are better than the one inside of the greenhouse. Indoors we can keep an stable temperature higher than 21 degrees Celsius and we are using lamps to light and also to warm the nursery. In the greenhouse the temperature is not yet good enough to germinate the seeds so because of the cold conditions seeds need more days to germinate. In both cases we are using vermiculite to germinate the seeds and we are watering with water from the Aquaponics system to get some nutrients for the new shoots. As a result we have concluded that seeds on vermiculite sprout faster than with soil.
First seeds sprouting on the indoors nursery were Field Peas (Capucijners), Dill and Purple Basil. We have transplanted the Field Peas and Dill this week and next week we will transplant Purple Basil and new Chards sprouting already.
Our experience from previous seasons with the Aquaponics System in the old location told us that leafy plants are growing very well on the substrates we have. We are re-using lava rock and expanded clay pebbles from our last season where we have some perennial plants like Rosemary still alive and very helpful to keep the system running during the preparation of the new season. No doubt, Chard, Spinach and Leaf salads will be the queens of our system this season. We hope to share nice greens to eat in our restaurant very soon.

Traditionally a genial bearded gentleman goes around the world at this time of year distributing gifts. Economists, doubtless through some clerical error, must have been placed on the naughty list as the Fed's taper came three months late or a month early (depending on one's perspective).
There is clearly a structure to the tapering, and we expect the process to conclude by the end of 2014. The Fed was at some pains to distinguish quantitative and monetary policy and anchor short rate expectations (which markets seem to have taken on board).
The impact of the Fed's decision is what now matters. The extent to which bond yield increases are transmitted globally and the extent to which market volatility increases is what is important. Emerging markets and the Euro area are vulnerable to both these transmission mechanisms.
The Euro finance ministers have done a deal on banking union, mainly by deferring all the difficult decisions to a later date. The Italian finance minister suggested the deal was as important as that which established European Monetary Union. We all know how well that turned out.

When a tenured position opens up at the university, Leonard, Sheldon and Raj compete with Barry Kripke for the job. The competition intensifies when the girls get involved and fight for their guys.
The title refers to the competition between the guys for the tenured position.
Sheldon uses his knock twice on the office of Mrs. Davis, the Human Resources director.
Sheldon: Well, that's a fine how-do-you-do. (To Amy) Don't just stand there. Take your breasts out.
Amy: Seriously, is that tape? Like, how are they staying up like that?
Amy: You're all wasting your time. Sheldon is the most qualified for the job. And no amount of gravity-defying bosom is going to change that.
Leonard: Oh, you do what you want. But I don't want to lose my friends over tenure. Friends are forever.
Howard: *Coughing* So is tenure.
Sheldon: Are you implying my girlfriend doesn't have any sexuality to exploit?
Sheldon: Okay, because that was not clear.
As the guys eat in the cafeteria, Barry Kripke shows up to tell them that Professor Tupperman is dead and a tenured position has opened up. Sheldon express his displeasure at the tenure process, while Leonard and Raj assure each other they won't be playing politics and sucking up to the tenure committee like Kripke. Later, Leonard tells Penny about the tenure position, Sheldon tells Amy, and Raj talks it through with Howard and Bernadette. Sheldon, Leonard and Raj are all determined to get the tenured position.
Leonard goes to the university gym to talk to Janine Davis, the university's HR directory and a member of the tenure committee. Leonard tries to exercise alongside Ms. Davis and Barry Kripke, but he soon falls to the floor in an asthma attack. Later, Ms. Davis opens up an email which launches a video presentation from Raj. She is interrupted from watching the video when Sheldon knocks at the door with a gift for her. Ms. Davis calls the meeting to an end after Sheldon hands over an appropriate gift, the box-set of Roots. Later, in the cafeteria, Howard asks the guys if they're planning to go to Professor Tupperman's memorial service. They guys say no, but their minds change when Howard mentions how the members of the tenure committee will be there.
Sheldon tells Amy he won't be able to make date night as he'll be attending the memorial service. Amy suggests she could be of assistance to Sheldon as she's a respected scientist and well versed in academic politics. When Leonard tells Penny about the memorial service, she offers to come but he say he's not sure how much help she would be in a room full of boring old men. After Penny pretends to bend down to tie her shoe laces, Leonard realizes what an asset she could be.
On the night of the memorial, Amy coaches Sheldon on the appropriate emotional responses to Professor Tupperman's death. Raj and Leonard and Penny soon show up, leading to bickering among the friends as they all denied they would be coming. Howard and Bernadette arrive at the memorial, mainly so Howard can watch his friends squabble. The guys realize their friendship is more important than the job, and are set to go home until Barry Kripke arrives, sucking up to Ms. Davis. The guys band together in a bid to stop the job going to Kripke.
Sheldon returns to Ms. Davis job to thank her for recommending him, Leonard and Raj for tenure, and to apologize for his inappropriate gift. As Sheldon says goodbye to Ms. Davis, he performs an flamboyant "jive hand shake", which Ms. Davis says she'll pretend did not happen.

On the one hand, at least there’s not a meth lab being run out of the basement. On the other hand, leave it to nosy neighbors to get all bent out of shape when your house goes on the market with a basement that could double as a shooting set for the next “50 Shades” movie. Andy Pollin joins me to discuss Warner Wolf’s meltdown, the new AAF, and the “Old World Order” when it came to sports media. I also talk grip strength and Grammys.
I think the first woman in the NFL will be a punter. Punting is something you can learn and practice on your own (for years if necessary) before ever playing on any team. Although, she would need to join a team to prove herself. D3 would be a good place to start.
Very interesting take on female football players and physical strength differences between genders. In 2015, the military was trying to decide if they should open up all specialties to women, including infantry and other combat positions, such as special ops. Football is a contact and/or combat sport, so I thought it quite fitting in what the military study found: “Overall, all-male ground combat squads were faster, stronger and more lethal in most cases than those units that included women. The women also suffered higher injury rates” (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/09/10/marine-study-finds-all-male-infantry-units-outperformed-teams-women/71971416/). That is not to say that they did not find some genetically-gifted or hard-training outliers, i.e. taken at the individual level, or at solo tasks, yes, a lone female may outperform her male counterpart. But just like the military, football is above all a team sport–the main consideration is combat/team effectiveness, then followed by the health and welfare of the individual.
Four years, David French, of the National Review, wrote an article beginning with a similar NFL-military comparison if interested: https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/09/women-in-combat-marine-corps-study/.

Church of the Big Sky: Well, that's grotesque.
Mr. Frank Ames of Saranac, New York is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest eyebrow hair in the world. It's more than three inches long.
Sam the American Eagle - acceptable enormous eyebrows.
The article doesn't note whether or not Frankie's married. I have a funny feeling he's not. Most women would probably whack those suckers off in the middle of the night. When your eyebrow hair is 3+ inches, doesn't it hang in your eyes? Is there some sort of "eyebrow wax" to hold them back? (uck.) I'm sure that Wahl makes some sort of trimmer appropriate for this type of affliction.
Leonid Brezhnev - massively unacceptable enormous eyebrows.
If not, I invite Mr. Ames to lovely Rockville, Maryland, where I know some very nice ladies at the Elaj Aveda Day Spa who would be happy to wax those suckers into decent submission. Really. Dude, I'm broke, but I will still pay for it.
Suddenly my browage looks pretty tame, no?
Grudgingly, I will admit that. I still want the honor of plucking the freaky hairs out, though.

EB Research Partnership (EBRP) is the largest nonprofit dedicated to funding research aimed at treating and ultimately curing Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a group of devastating and life-threatening genetic skin disorders that affect children from birth. Its board members include co-founder Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam) and executives from the private equity, legal, and medical communities.
EBRP utilizes an innovative venture philanthropy model. When EBRP makes a grant to a research project, it retains the added upside of generating a recurring donation stream if the therapy or product is commercially successful, and then use this revenue to fund additional EB research. Current partnerships include Stanford University and the University of Minnesota.

I called Little T's GI doctor today. We're going to do an endoscopy to see if he has sores on his stomach or GI tract from the steroids or aspirin. He's taking very low doses of both, but the doctor said it could still cause problems. I don't know whether to hope they find a problem or not. If they don't, then it means his vomiting is behavioural. I think that would be a harder problem to solve. I start to think about what that entail -- months of therapy and my brains shies away. Best not to think about that now. The alternative doesn't seem much better either since he needs to be on the steroids and aspirin to quiet his tumor. I guess I hope they do find sores and that we also find the right drugs to make the sores go away.

Uses a one inch and an one and a half inch hog bristle to lighten the offending darks. I also added white and cobalt blue to the background using sheer layers. Lightened a lot of the face shadows with a watered white.
Of course I lightened the background w a dry white and cobalt blue. It helps soften some of her edges. Probably could do more but I am leaving her alone for now.

It is not possible to detect all the vulnerabilities without manually reviewing the code. In many cases it is reliable and efficient to manually review the code instead for using some testing tools and or examining that using some software. Data protection, log maintenance of bugs or issues, system’s inter-communications and usage, encryption and access controls can be efficiently monitored using the manual review of the code written for the applications.
The data flow within the application between different modules from its entry point to its exit can be traced and reviewed by using the effective method of manual code review. Architectural vulnerabilities are identified by SSA SOFT by analyzing the implied security architecture within the application in order to remove the architectural threats.
Manual Code Review is defended as an essential of application testing method at SSA SOFT. Instead of using any other approach for testing the application the most accurate and efficient results are delivered by reviewing the code of the application. Not only that the efficiency of the method is considerable, but the cost incurred for such a review is also effective.
The tools and software used for the application assessment are both commercial and proprietary essentially. Application assessment is performed using many other approaches but code review is considered to be an efficient method for this purpose. In this approach not only the code review but the security testing of the application is performed, all while staying into the budgets of clients. The tools for scanning the code are custom tailored so that the results could be generated with highest possible quality; upon which then keen diagnosis and analysis is performed to verify the generated results.
Identification of weakness by the scanning tools, depend on the application and the signature databases for exploring the vulnerability. The instances of XSS, SQL Injection, CSRF, open ports and others can be traced by making use of the tools. The training of the tool is required only once in order to understand the controls in the application; these can then be used for achieving more advanced security operations.

Konrad Werner: Less popular than French footballers?
The German government is turning into the French national football team. Not literally – the EXBERLINER cannot exclusively reveal that Angela Merkel has decided to take up French citizenship and is marshalling her cabinet into a defensive 4-5-1 formation.
But the very day after the French retreated from the World Cup as a disarrayed rabble – and were made to fly home in economy class ("Ha! You will now be deprived of ze 'ot towels! Zat will show you. Zut alors!") - a new survey revealed that the two parties currently forming the German government have not been this unpopular for ten years, when the FDP interior policy spokesman was caught stealing from a church mouse and, during a party conference, the CDU made fun of a baby deer.
Since last September's election, the governing parties have lost 13 points in the ratings, though the opposition parties have somehow managed only to gain a couple of points each. Political apathy among the people has apparently now gone so far that there are actually fewer percent than there used to be.
The survey also finds that Merkel's previously bad-news-proof personal rating is tanking, and should she resign, they would please like to have the following people as Chancellor, in this order: Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg, Ursula von der Leyen, Wolfgang Schäuble, Stefan Raab, or Otto Rehhagel, the Greek manager, who is refusing to discuss his future.
This might be more likely than you think – not the Otto bit – next week, parliamentarians will elect a new president for the country, and if Christian Wulff, Merkel's candidate, doesn't get it, then her position is said to be precarious. Larks!

Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) is expanding the availability of independent legal advice certificates for mediation clients across the province. This service can now be provided by any family panel lawyer, and in some cases, may be available to both parties.
Starting July 3, 2014, when one of the mediation clients is financially eligible for a lawyer, the other mediation client may also be eligible, as long as they earn up to a maximum of $50,000.
Family panel lawyers retained by mediation clients may now bill through Legal Aid Online up to six hours for independent legal advice before, during and after a client enters into any legal agreement based on mediation. Clients can receive advice from a lawyer about the mediation process, assistance in preparing for the mediation, or information and advice to help them develop a better understanding of their options. A lawyer can also assist with obtaining a court order or binding agreement to enforce the terms of the mediation agreement.
To be paid the full six hours, the lawyer will need to provide a copy of the mediation agreement and a final order where appropriate.
This service is one of a number of programs that LAO is developing with the use of $30 million over four years in additional provincial funding. LAO’s family law strategy aims to reduce the number of unrepresented family litigants, provide an avenue for consensual dispute resolution, expand the early resolution service sector and provide holistic and integrated services.
Each year, LAO helps more than 125,000 low-income Ontarians through a wide range of family law services, including summary legal advice, mediation, assistance from lawyers at family law information centres and family law service centres, representation by private practice lawyers, and settlement conferences.

U.S. Plays Delicate Dance As Deadline Nears In Iranian Nuclear Talks As nuclear talks with Iran approach a deadline, the U.S. must ease sanctions enough in order to make a deal with Iran while not letting it off the hook completely.
As nuclear talks with Iran approach a deadline, the U.S. must ease sanctions enough in order to make a deal with Iran while not letting it off the hook completely.
Talks on Iran's nuclear program are entering a crucial weekend. The deadline for reaching the broad outlines of a deal is Tuesday. The U.S. seeks to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. The goal for Iran is relief from economic sanctions. NPR's Peter Kenyon is in Switzerland, where the talks are taking place, and he explains why lifting sanctions is tricky and contentious.
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: When Iran's leaders talk about sanctions, it's usually to declare them both illegal and ineffective. And yet getting sanctions lifted as quickly as possible remains Tehran's top priority.
KENYON: During the recent Persian New Year celebration, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a mosque gathering that a U.S. proposal to suspend certain sanctions and lift others only after Iran follows through on its nuclear commitments is not to be trusted.
SUPREME LEADER AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMENEI: (Through interpreter) This is an American trick. They say, we make a deal, and then we monitor Iran's behavior and then lift the sanctions. It is not like that. The sanctions should be removed immediately after the agreement.
KENYON: U.S. and European officials say there's little doubt that a remarkable nexus of sanctions from the U.S., EU and U.N. Security Council played a big role in bringing Iran to the table.
The issue, now that Iran appears willing to make tangible concessions to prove it's not seeking a nuclear weapon, is how to provide sanctions relief without totally giving up the leverage they provide. It's clear that if there is to be a final deal, Iran will need some early sanctions relief to quiet hard-line critics back home. There are plenty of frozen Iranian assets that could be released, but that's not lifting sanctions, which is what Iran's leaders have promised their people. This may be where the U.N. sanctions come in. With all five permanent members of the Security Council at the table with Iran, there's little to stop the council from simply passing a new resolution that either suspends or cancels some of the sanctions.
The U.N. sanctions aren't that important economically but they may be important to Iran's sense of national pride. Analyst Jim Walsh with the Security Studies Program at MIT says Tehran was stung by these sanctions, coming as it were, from the entire international community.
JIM WALSH: Certainly the lifting of U.N. sanctions would carry a bigger punch. It would be something tangible - not in effect, but in principle - that the Iranian public could recognize and for which Rouhani and his administration would get credit.
KENYON: There are pitfalls for both sides. U.S. officials worry that once lifted U.N. sanctions could be hard to replace since Russia or China could veto them. They're seeking a suspension, preferably with a mechanism to restore sanctions, if Iran doesn't comply with a nuclear deal. Meanwhile, Iran would want some U.N. action to ensure that the U.S. and its allies live up to their end of any bargain.
When it comes to the American sanctions, some were imposed by President Obama, and those he can suspend or left. Even some congressional sanctions could be waived by the president. Lifting others, however, would require a congressional vote. The toughest sanctions are the ones keeping Iran out of the global banking system. Analyst Jim Walsh says if those were lifted and Iran then violated the agreement, they could probably be reimposed because most countries tend to abide by them to stay in the banking system.
WALSH: In some ways, the U.S. always has this in their back pocket. The European banks and Chinese banks aren't going to want to risk falling out of favor with the international banking system, even if they want to do business with Iran.
KENYON: Sanctions may have attracted Iran to the table, but they could also drive it away. President Obama has warned that if Congress imposes new sanctions, the talks could be derailed. Peter Kenyon, NPR News, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Do you have a heart for service and a few extra hours a week? If so, the Windsor Senior Center needs volunteers in a variety of areas.
The senior center, 201 S. Main, depends on volunteers to help in the kitchen, at the front desk, in the dining room, and to deliver meals to the homebound.
The center is open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Home-delivered meal drivers would drop off warm meals to about 20 homebound individuals. Many times, the HDM delivery serves as a well-being check on the homebound adults, who might not receive any other visitors in a given day. Meals are delivered Monday through Wednesday, but would be expanded to Thursday if volunteers were available, Memphis said.
The route includes 20-plus stops and takes an average of 90 minutes.
The Windsor center, one of 22 operated by Care Connection for Aging Services, receives meals prepared hot and fresh daily from the Clinton Senior Center kitchen.
Kitchen volunteers are needed to ready a steam table, receive the food, serve it in the proper portions, and clean up afterward. About 20 seniors have lunch at the senior center four days a week.
Another potential volunteer role is a desk receptionist.
Training is provided for all positions, and background checks are required for some roles.
To find out more, visit the Windsor Senior Center or call (660) 647-3224.

The Hostaria Bastian Contrario Restaurant is about one kilometer from the medieval village of Finale Ligure, in the direction of Calice Ligure.
The restaurant is well known and appreciated by both visitors and tourists, open only in the evening and is attended by people of all ages in an informal environment.
The specialties of the Bastian Contrario Restaurant are the focaccia stuffed salted and sweet.
Among the first tastiest dishes I would like to mention ravioli with castelmagno and truffle, ravioli fonduta and speck.
As for meat dishes: the mixed grill and the famous Piedmontese, Irish and Angus meat ribs.
Restaurant with fantastic panoramic view, a few kilometers from Finale Ligure, with excellent cuisine, special dishes and treated.
Kindness and professionalism of the owner who personally takes care of the dishes.
Very generous portions and excellent price quality.
Take-away, excellent fried calamari, Ligurian anchovies and vegetables in the famous “cuoppo” walking.
In addition to the frescezza, because it is a fishmonger, the price quality does not make the difference.
Large portions. For the little ones, fries.
Local located in the pedestrian area in Finalpia.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - An appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit that accused Republican Florida Gov. Rick Scott of underreporting his income, saying the judiciary has no authority to investigate such a complaint.
The 1st District Court of Appeal ruled Friday that Florida's constitution gives the state ethics commission sole authority to investigate whether Scott followed the law when he reported a net worth of $232 million this year.
Scott was sued by Tallahassee attorney Don Hinkle, once a top fundraiser for President Barack Obama, after the ethics commission dismissed his complaint.
Florida's governor picks five of the ethics commission's nine members, and four others are chosen by state House and Senate leaders.
