I already had one short film in the bag.
I already knew how stressful the process was and had learnt the hard way that meticulous planning was the key to success – this is especially true if you don’t actually employ anyone or have any budget to speak of.
However, despite the challenges faced the first time around, I decided to do it all again. And thankfully, this time proved to be just as insanely difficult as the last.
The first challenge was drafting up an idea for a story. I had long been fascinated by the notion that the monotony of everyday life was like a prison and if you wanted, you could just escape it all at the drop of a hat. This became the central idea of my film, CTRL ALT ESCAPE. The only problem was that the story required the use of multiple locations and not all of them would be easily accessible.
For instance, one scene involved the use of three houses in close enough proximity to one another that they would fit into the one shot. After a lot of time spent recceing – film speak for scouting places – I found what I was looking for. Now all that was left to do was convince the inhabitants of said houses to let me use them. For free.
Another problem arose when one of the guys I had asked to star in my blockbuster dropped out. Unlike most directors, I didn’t have a little black book filled with Hollywood stars that I could call upon, so I took it upon myself to visit a local drama club to find a suitable replacement. After some negotiations about salary, Cailean – my new stand in – settled on a Freddo and a percentage of the box office revenue.
To this day he’s still waiting for his cut.

They're offering service in areas that are already flooded with ISP options, this is not progress.
That's a bit of hyperbole, isn't it? Yes, google is rolling out to relatively high-density neighborhoods, but none of these are "flooded" with ISP options. At best, they have one cable option, one FIOS option, and one DSL option. To the best of my knowledge, there is nowhere in this country that you can choose between two cable providers.
You may also be forgetting that, when the incumbent ISPs were themselves startups, they didn't offer much in the way of rural service, either. In fact, most of them had to be paid by the government (and are still being paid by the government) to extend service outside of the most profitable neighborhoods.
Of course, that was 20-50 years ago, so you can be forgiven for imagining that Comcast launched in 1969 to 100,000,000 homes scattered across 80,000 square miles. I, for one, am happy to see anything vaguely resembling a new entrant in communication services. If they can only roll out to one city block, or even just one apartment complex, and provide better, faster or cheaper service than the legacy behemoths, I'll be happy to see them succeed. | <urn:uuid:5e9dc48f-dcd9-4196-b2a1-ee4eb75f8759> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://slashdot.org/~tburkhol/firehose | 2014-09-21T02:06:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657134511.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011214-00239-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975341 | 264 |

Something awesome that my home team does is meet up at the river on summer Sunday afternoons for volleyball and beers and swimming/boating/water shenanigans and to recover and maybe remind each other of what happened the night before. Since the weather was so beautiful and beet harvest was shut down, we were lucky enough to get one last Funday when I was home.
The river was too low for boats, but luckily we have a backdoor :)
They are actually pretty darn good.
No, I don't play sports and also someone needs to take pictures of the action!
Nikki represents though!
Rocker watching his dad :)
I think by now we are on the third game.
Rob and Judd seem to be moving a lot slower.
or not at all...
I even tricked them into plugging in my ipod for a bit. A couple dance mixes and our little NoDak beach is kind of like Cabo. I love Rob in this shot :)
I promise that I have a swimsuit top on.
We stayed late and had a bonfire and everything. I love this day. | <urn:uuid:7b5d4854-377d-4914-9a30-01267767e990> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://fishgirl65.blogspot.com/2012/10/funday.html | 2017-12-12T00:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948514238.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212002021-20171212022021-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.984206 | 230 |
The unbelievable has happened. Fusion music has reached new heights with the announcement last week that Rolling stones frontman Mick Jagger, Eurythmics member Dave Stewart, British Soul singer Joss Stone, Reggae legend Bob Marley’s son Damian Marley & our very own "Mozart of Madras" AR Rahman have formed a new band called Super Heavy!
Reports indicate that the musical collective have been working on the secret debut album in a Los Angeles studio for 18 months! To be titled "Fusion" and set to release in September 2011, the album brings together sounds and influences from many popular genres from Reggae to Indian to American Ballads.
Fusion is nothing new for award winning musician & composer AR Rahman. From the early days of his musical career, the Mozart of Madras has been introducing western influences into Tamil (Kollywood) & Hindi (Bollywood) film music. Through the recent success of songs like Jai ho featured the "Pussycat Dolls" and collaborations with artists including Dido & Michael Bolton, AR Rahman has been bringing the sound of India to Hollywood & the western audiences.
The Thamarai team look forward to all things Super Heavy! | <urn:uuid:e353d732-85c9-41ee-97fe-a60e56476d4e> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.thamarai.com/uncategorised/super-heavy-the-super-band | 2018-01-18T04:12:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084887065.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180118032119-20180118052119-00410.warc.gz | en | 0.942942 | 248 |
Economist Dr Ronald Ramkissoon will act as facilitator during tomorrow's Tobago House of Assembly election debate at Magdalena Grand Hotel, Lowlands, Tobago.
Former head of Trinidad and Tobago Transparency International Victor Hart and economist Hayden Blades are the two questioners chosen to pose questions to the participants drawn from the three participating parties. It begins at 8 p.m.
In a media update yesterday, the Trinidad and Tobago Debates Commission announced that it received confirmation from all three political parties--People's National Movement (Tobago Council), the Tobago Organisation of the People and The Platform of Truth.
Though the idea of the debate was made public early in December, there was no consensus on the moderators until just before 7 p.m yesterday evening.
Chief executive officer of the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Commerce Catherine Kumar, who is also the project manager for the debate, said 15 names had already been proposed and rejected by the three parties participating in the Tobago House of Assembly election on January 21 before the final names were decided.
Hart, in a telephone interview, was already preparing for today's debate rehearsal set for 5 pm.
"I have given my consent to put my name forward to the debates. I am optimistic that the debate will come off. I am getting myself ready. I heard my name was one of three that will be featured if the debate goes on as expected," he said.
Blades said he was told that his name was nominated.
"I was approached, but I understand that all the parties are yet to agree on the moderator or moderators," he said.
"There is a lot of preparation to put in place. There has been a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, it's very volatile."
Blades said the Chamber launched the idea for the debate early last month and was still unable to confirm moderators more than three weeks later.
"It is reflective of the nature of politics but people have to put their cards on the table. There is no plausible reason that the parties, if genuinely interested, could not come to an agreement. It is disconcerting," he said.
In a telephone interview, Tobago Organisation of the People leader Ashworth Jack confirmed that those two names were proposed to him and he agreed to both. | <urn:uuid:7b290452-8778-4777-92f4-c1e511d66f34> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/___Debate_at_Magdalena_Grand_tomorrow-186105051.html | 2017-02-20T15:24:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170569.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00212-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982631 | 473 |
Even since May, when Gov. John Baldacci of Maine signed a marriage equality bill, Religious Right opponents have been vowing to seek a referendum to overturn the law via a “people’s veto.” And last week, they announced that they had gathered more than 55,087 signatures necessary to put the issue to a vote.
Among the myriad of Religious Right groups active in the effort has been Focus on the Family, which has been donating thousands of dollars to the cause. And, via Box Turtle Bulletin, we come to find out that repealing this law in order to “protect marriage” is among FOF’s top priorities:
Sonja Swiatkiewicz, Focus’ director of issues response, declined to say how much money was being sunk into the campaign effort as a matter of strategy.
She said working to strengthen and protect marriages is one of Focus’ priorities.
“Protecting the institution of marriage as between a man and a woman is one of our primary goals. We receive about 250,000 communications a month from folks who have very deep hurts, many of which are related to the breakdown of marriage and how that impacts mean, women and children.
“We work to protect or restore marriages as closely as we do on the sanctity of life beginning at conception and protecting religious liberties.”
Which brings us to The Maine Family Policy Council, which is a “fully associated” member of Focus on the Family’s network of Family Policy Councils and this article that Good As You discovered on the Maine Family Policy Council’s website in which it claims that the “call for same sex marriage and other forms of sexual immorality” are directly linked to urban blight (complete with photos, which I haven’t included):
Homosexuality and other forms of aberrant behavior are on proud display in Portland, home of Maine’s “Gay Pride” parade, with its seven hundred foot long Rainbow Flag. The Rainbow Flag is everywhere in Portland. Certain bars cater exclusively to homosexuals, including the club called Styxx, shown at below right.
Trash collectors are apparently overwhelmed in Portland. City streets were pristine in 2002, much cleaner than say, Manhattan or Chicago. Now litter and household trash is seen in every part of town, and when the wind blows, the garbage is simply blown down the streets. The photo at below left shows a common sight along lower Congress Street. Garbage is strewn throughout formerly beautiful Deering Oaks Park.
Evidence of crime is often seen, as in the photo below, where a smash and run burglar has smashed out the windows of a parked Audi. The sad thing about this photo is that the theft happened in broad daylight, across from the Eastland Park Hotel, and nothing was done about it. The car sat in that condition for hours, an open invitation for other criminals to do the same.
These photos taken on an average day in Portland are meant to illustrate the fact that the call for same sex marriage and other forms of sexual immorality is not happening in isolation. It is part and parcel of a society which calls itself progressive. But is it really progressive? Is it even Maine? These days, Portland looks like somebody put the city in reverse, and stepped on the gas.
Even though the legislation legalizing gay marriage didn’t pass until two months ago, the MFPC makes repeated reference to how Portland has declined “since 2002.”
Apparently, residents of Portland just knew back in 2002 that, seven years down the road, gay marriage might be legal in the state and so they just gave up and decided to let their town decay .. or there was some sort of effort launched in 2002 to start running down the town so that eventually gays could get married …or maybe something else.
All I was able to figure out was that gay marriage leads to messy streets and your car getting broken into … or maybe that messy streets and burglarized cars lead to gay marriage.
So if you are in a neighborhood where you spot trash in the street and smashed windows, you can rest assured that gay marrige is not far behind … or has already passed through. | <urn:uuid:c1d39f83-0603-46cd-b78b-e307fde8f825> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/gay-marriage-leads-to-garbage-and-burglarized-cars-or-vice-versa/ | 2017-01-18T22:13:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280364.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00243-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966515 | 867 |

So you’ve prepared an LED wall for your next shoot. How do you ensure the colors approved in pre-production aren’t washed out once they’ve been filmed? The team at DNEG solved this conundrum and presented their findings as part of the SIGGRAPH 2021 Talks program. Here, presenter Oliver James gives further insight on the Talk “Colour-managed LED Walls for Virtual Production,” sharing the inspiration behind the project and how the solution transforms filmmaking.
SIGGRAPH: Share some background about “Colour-managed LED Walls for Virtual Production.” What inspired this solution?
Oliver James (OJ): We set out to solve the problem of preparing images for display on LED walls in virtual production so that, when filmed, the resulting footage retains the creative intent of the original images.
We had tackled the problem of color-managing LED walls previously — for example, on “First Man” — but knew further work was needed. In spring 2020, we had the opportunity to access an LED wall and movie camera at our offices in London. This new opportunity gave us more direct access to the equipment and allowed us to perform a more thorough investigation. Previous conversations about color with LED wall suppliers showed us that their focus was typically on the appearance of the wall to the human eye, treating the wall as if it was the final stage in the imaging pipeline. Our color-science team realized this was the wrong approach for virtual production, so we jumped at this opportunity.
SIGGRAPH: Tell us about the process of creating “Colour-managed LED Walls for Virtual Production.” What was the biggest challenge you faced? How did you overcome it?
OJ: London was in the middle of our first COVID-19 lockdown when we started this new phase of work, but in some ways these constraints helped focus our development. Initially we had no access to the office, but we realized the problem of filming an LED wall was similar to photographing a computer monitor. The initial analysis and code development was therefore done at home. I photographed hundreds of color patches on my computer’s monitor. This meant that when we did eventually get access to an LED wall and movie camera, our methods were already in a good state.
Another constraint-turned-opportunity was that when we did access the LED wall, LED processor, and movie camera, we were left alone with it, as social distancing limited the number of people allowed in the lab. Typically, we would only have indirect access with camera operators and technicians assisting us. I’m much happier being more hands-on, and operating the equipment ourselves led us to experiment more and become very familiar with all aspects of its operation.
SIGGRAPH: How does this solution transform filmmaking? What problems does it solve?
OJ: From conversations with vendors, we realized that many people were taking an ad-hoc approach to color management when filming LED walls — they might send display-referred images to the wall and then tweak the color settings until they like what they see through the camera. This approach can give good results, but it also can take up a lot of time on set and is a subjective process. By setting a clear goal that the images recorded on camera should match the original material, we were able to standardize the process of setting up the LED color, removing the uncertainty of the subjective approach. This allows us to prepare a technical preparation of the LED stage before a day’s shoot, freeing up valuable time with the director to focus on creative aspects.
SIGGRAPH: You presented an on-demand Talk and participated in a Q&A about real-time technology at SIGGRAPH 2021. What was it like to present virtually? What was your favorite part of this year’s conference?
OJ: Given the circumstances, a virtual conference was the only option, but I much prefer a live presentation to a pre-recorded one. For me, SIGGRAPH is as much about meeting people as it is listening to the presentations, and that aspect looked different in a virtual world. On the other hand, having extended access to all the recorded Talks is wonderful, and it would be great if that became standard in future conferences.
For a SIGGRAPH highlight, I’m going to pick out a paper that has very little to do with my day-to-day work but resonated with a younger, tennis-obsessed version of me —“Vid2Player Controllable Video Sprites That Behave and Appear Like Professional Tennis Players.” The author’s love of the game shines through the work.
SIGGRAPH: What advice do you have for someone looking to share their own innovations at a future SIGGRAPH conference?
OJ: Do it! I can’t imagine anyone regretting submitting their work to SIGGRAPH, but I know many people who’ve regretted not submitting. Preparing a submission forces you to take a step back from your work and re-evaluate what you’ve done, which is beneficial even if it doesn’t make it to the conference.

So recently, while having lunch at the dining table with my husband, just like normal I am chatting away (I never stop talking) and on this particular day, I was talking about my day at work. I am a teacher and apart from writing on my blog – it’s another thing in life that I am really passionate about. I love my classroom. I love the noise, the tell-tales, the stories, the laughs, the co-teachers, the sing-songs… I love being a role model and having innocent little faces look up to me and randomly say, “I love you, Miss Lala.” Needless to say, I work hard for a lot more than my pay cheque…
Anyway, we have a nanny in the classroom with us. The one we had from the beginning of the term moved and I loved her like a sister. I thought of her as a sister and I loved getting to know her and as a team we bonded over the children and enjoyed spending our working day together.
Like all things in life, the nannies changed departments and we have a new nanny. Being the immature/loyal person that I am. I decided I wouldn’t like this nanny as much as the old nanny before I even met her. I decided I would be more firm, share nothing with her and just treat her as a colleague with basic manners I would give to anyone.
One day, she offered to clean my cup and I told her no thank you. (This is not her job and I don’t feel comfortable with others doing ‘extra’ things for me) I feel like it’s the opposite of humble and I can’t afford to be arrogant. To Allah we belong and to Him we will return.
However, she insisted and I let her. I actually didn’t think about it, much. Then she offered to do other things & other things…
As I was telling my husband this information he looked at me in shock and said, “What happened to you?”
My heart almost stopped. He obviously was not joking… so I froze & I didn’t know how to answer this rhetorical question?! He explained that I usually would never let anyone do that and I usually treat people so much better, with dignity and respect.
I started to cry…
At first, I felt like hitting my husband, pointing out his flaws and telling him he’s far from perfect.
Even though I felt really hurt (my favourite person in the world is disappointed in me) I quickly though, How would I feel on the Day of Judgment if Allah is angry with me?
So I decided, he is right. I made a mistake… I followed the crowd for a moment. I let Shaytan’s whispers deceive me for a while so I begged Allah to forgive me.
But I also have to thank my husband. For gently hurting me. As silly as that sounds but that is the people we need in our life. A husband is not only one who is romantic, pours you baths and buys you flowers (although important). A husband is someone who cares about your Akhirah before anything else, who cares about your soul and is not afraid to tell you when you have done something wrong.
Without my husband reminding me, as awful as it was to go through, I might have continued, I might have got worse, God forbid I might have even started treating her like a personal nanny which is usually something that I would despise.
After all, a person’s religion is not entirely what madhab he follows, what knowledge he has or how many books he has read. A person’s religion is in his character and the way he treats people. Treating people, all people, equally with justice and kindness to please Allah, in order not to anger Allah and to have Allah accept our deeds because all of us need Allah’s forgiveness. | <urn:uuid:2220acef-38cc-49b7-8c49-ba00bc8b477d> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://shukrallahblog.wordpress.com/2017/02/18/love-for-the-sake-of-allah-a-personal-reflection/ | 2018-03-22T00:40:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647707.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180321234947-20180322014947-00108.warc.gz | en | 0.982643 | 830 |
Afghanistan's police force has said that a Pakistani army officer is among the men arrested after it broke up a group planning to carry out suicide attacks in Kabul.
Security has been stepped up in the capital, despite the fact that the alleged plot appears to have been foiled.
"Just a couple of days ago the police arrested 16 people. Nine of them were actually suicide bombers, all trained outside of Afghanistan," Mohammad Hanif Atmar, the Afghan interior minister, told Al Jazeera.
Asked whether he saw evidence of the involvement of Pakistan or parts of the Pakistani security forces in the alleged plots, Atmar said: "The evidence speaks for itself.
"We are investigating into this matter and we will be soon talking to our Pakistani colleagues.
"And then basically [we will] show this evidence to them and say is this happening based on a policy or is it just a couple of rogue people doing this."
But Pakistan rejected the accusations, aired exclusively by Al Jazeera on Saturday.
General Athar Abbas, the Pakistan army spokesman, dismissed the claim that a Pakistani army captain was among the suspects "baseless and fabricated."
Pakistan is under international pressure to deal with Taliban and al-Qaeda groups which hide out in the country's northwest tribal regions, from where they launch frequent attacks on Nato troops in bordering Afghanistan.
Al Jazeera was allowed to film five of the suspects accused of attempting to get suicide bomb vests into Kabul, but the man authorities said was a Pakistani soldier was not among them.
Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from the capital, said that the men, who had their heads covered, looked young, with some of them possibly under 18-years-old.
Videos released by the authorities of other suspects showed prisoners to have suffered injuries. Police said that the injuries were sustained during their arrest, not during interrogations.
Afghan forces have said that the arrests showed that tightened security around the capital was having some success in preventing attacks.
Imtiaz Gul, a political analyst and author of The Al Qaeda Connection, told Al Jazeera: "Military officials in Pakistan are ignorant of these arrests so it is still a wait and see game".
"Pakistani officials said that all their officers and staff that are based at the mission in Afghanistan are accounted for and nobody is missing from duty."
He said that if the person in question is confirmed to be a Pakistani officer, this would be quite a blow to Pakistan.
"There have been cases in the past where retired officers sympathised with the Taliban, and it has not been confirmed whether this is a serving army officer or retired officer."
Fakhar Rehman, a security analyst and senior reporter for Pakistan's AAJ television channel, told Al Jazeera: "So far the Pakistan side have received no confirmed information about this arrest. The identity has yet to be confirmed.
"The military spokesman has no been able to say anything about this arrest. So we are waiting to hear whether Pakistan has been formally informed about this arrest."
Rehman said that Pakistan and Afghanistan had improved relations recently, stating mutual commitments on trade and security.
A battle in Logar province south of Kabul on Friday led to the deaths of two Nato soldiers from the US and five anti-government fighters.
Local security officials said that Afghan air forces, backed by Nato troops, killed 20 Taliban fighters in the northern district of Kunduz, late on Friday.
A car bombing and suicide attacks in the centre of Kabul at the end of February killed at least 16 people. Afghan intelligence officials blamed the attacks on Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani-based group. It was the deadliest attack in the city since a suicide car bomber killed 17 people outside the Indian embassy in October.
Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) entered the country following the US invasion in 2001 after the September 11 attacks on the US of the same year.
There are about 90,000 Nato troops in Afghanistan who are slated to begin withdrawing from the country in 2011.

Donald Trump has made extravagant promises about delivering "massive" tax cuts for Americans, but a top financial watchdog says the president's hometown will pay the price for his reform plans.
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer says Trump's plan to cut state and local deductions would slam Gotham with a stunning $7 billion in increased federal taxes — a cost that would be shouldered by an estimated 1.3 million city taxpayers.
Mic got an exclusive first look on Wednesday at Stringer's breakdown of how low- and middle-income residents of the city where the Trump family made its fortune find their wallets lighter under his proposals.
“When it comes to this White House, every day seems to bring another policy that helps billionaires, hurts everyday Americans or both," Stringer said in a statement about the state and local tax deductions, also known as SALT.
"We’re watching closely and crunching the numbers, and by raising taxes on over one million middle-class New Yorkers, it’s become clearer than ever that this White House has no intention of having an economy built on fairness," he said.
"Eliminating this deduction will impact New Yorkers in every borough — it’s huge.”
While the details are still being sorted out, it's been reported that SALT is the most popular deduction taken by New Yorkers.
Per Syracuse.com, New Yorkers are "second only to California ($97 billion) in the total amount claimed as IRS deductions for state and local taxes, a result of higher taxes in the two states compared to the rest of the nation."
Stringer's analysis drills down into just how hard New Yorkers of different income brackets would be affected by the plan, which at rollout promised to slash the number of brackets from seven to three.
"All told, 740,000 of the 1.3 million New Yorkers who would face tax increases after losing these exemptions — about 60% — have low- or moderate-incomes and make less than $100,000 a year," the analysis found.
By borough, Stringer says, 389,000 of the affected taxpayers live in Manhattan, the center of Trump's business empire and his family's home, while 336,000 reside Trump's native Queens. Of the rest, 323,000 are in Brooklyn, 136,000 in the Bronx and 97,000 in Staten Island.
"A family making $75,000 a year would have to pay $1,800 more in federal taxes if this deduction were eliminated," the analysis found, although the potential hike in payments does increase with income.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Forbes has delved into why repealing SALT is a political minefield, even using Trump's home state as a specific example:
Take New York, where residents claimed an average of $21,038 in state and local taxes on their federal returns. About 3.3 million federal returns filed by New Yorkers included a deduction for state and local taxes, one-third of all returns from the state. That’s a lot of voters who’d get pretty annoyed at losing a valuable deduction.
Stringer, a staunch Democrat and vocal Trump critic, says he'll be monitoring the tax reform plan's march through Washington — as are major companies, which like the possibility of reforms that spur economic growth and are reportedly delaying big spending decisions until there's a more concrete proposal.
"President Trump says one thing in words, another in his tweets, and even yet another thing on paper," Stringer said. "We are going to continue to watch his tax plans closely and give working families the information they need to understand how White House policies affect them.” | <urn:uuid:4a69bc21-30e8-4125-9bbb-eaf5598353d9> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.mic.com/articles/179223/trump-plan-would-hike-taxes-for-millions-in-his-hometown-new-yorks-top-financial-watchdog-says | 2022-07-01T11:53:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103940327.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220701095156-20220701125156-00049.warc.gz | en | 0.967285 | 764 |

Saturdays often allow a more leisurely approach to life than work days. I can more easily post links to some blog posts or other materials I have discovered during the week, or even to those discovered during a Saturday morning coffee and extended surfing of the blogosphere/internet.
Here are a few recommendations for inclusion on your reading list.
1. Rebecca Onion, the author of Slate's history blog The Vault, has an interesting article on personal identification tags back in the late 1800s. They were a kind of civilian dog tag. You can see a photograph of one and learn about the mystery behind it here.
2. So where can you see on-line a digital copy of an 1803 letter written by Thomas Jefferson, a list of soldiers who died from the 1918 flu pandemic, and 1862 telegram from Abraham Lincoln asking a state governor for 50,000 troops to fight in the Civil War, and much more? In the Rhode Island State Archives on line of course. Read more about this resource here.
3. Have you heard about the Awkward Family Photos blog that was mentioned recently on NPR? It is just what it sounds like and co-founders Mike Bender and Doug Chernack now have a 204-page book out celebrating these funny, but often embarrassing, bits of family history. You can read about the blog and the book here, and visit the blog itself here to see many examples of awkward family photos.
4. Jana Last has begun a new feature on her blog, "Favorite Family Recipes." The inaugural recipe is Peanut Butter Fingers. Just looking at Jana's photos will send you running around the kitchen and to the grocery store to assemble all the ingredients. Those of us with peanut butter addictions will find this one hard to resist. But take heart -- as Bill Cosby said of chocolate cake -- this dessert also has all the necessary food groups: peanut butter, chocolate, eggs, milk, rolled oats, and other life enhancing ingredients!
5. For those with Nordic roots, you should really consult Randy Seaver's famous Genea-Musings blog if you have not done so already. Randy has two postings about finding and using Norwegian church records here and here.
6. For those (like me) who love maps and can get lost in perusing them, you should check out Barbara Poole's post and pictorial tour of the Journeys and Discoveries: The Stories Maps Tell exhibit at the Masonic Museum and Library in Lexington, Massachusetts. There is another reason to look at Barbara's post -- her mention of the etiquette of taking pictures at exhibits and asking permission to use photographs on one's blog. I have had the experience of taking a photo only to find after the fact what I considered to be an obscurely placed sign prohibiting such acts. Barbara explains how she handled it and the accommodating result. I have similarly approached locations with an explanation of how I would like to use on my blog a few photos I asked to take. I have always been granted some level of permission and been thanked for asking rather than just surreptitiously snapping away. Barbara's post illustrates the proper way to handle an unintentional photograph faux pas and recounts the positive and appreciative dispensation that resulted.
7. And speaking of maps . . . Diane Richard at the NGS blog UpFront With NGS provides a link to another historic map collection at the University of Georgia. The collection has over 1,000 maps spanning 500 years. The bi-weekly "Mini Bytes" feature at UpFront is a wonderful resource for tips and suggestions about genealogy/history-related sources available on line and elsewhere. As another example, check out this week's Mini Bytes link to an article at Irish Central about the top 100 most common Irish surnames with an explanation of where the names come from.
8. If you have not yet had an opportunity to visit the DAR Library in Washington, D.C., then have alook at Diane Boumenot's post and photographic tour of her first visit to this wonderful genealogy
library in our nation's capital. A Visit to the Daughters of the American Revolution Library.
9. Family Tree Magazine has just published its 75 best genealogy websites for 2013 state-by-state
so you can focus your search for ancestors and relatives geographically.

xkcd is “A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language” (xkcd doesn’t stand for anything). Sometimes it is very funny. Other times it can be quite informative. This one, from today (June 9, 2014) is in the latter category.
What it is showing is that the difference between the last ice age and our modern average is about the same as the temperature increase that is expected by the year 2100. In other words, we will experience the same amount of warming in a period of 100 years as we have already experienced in the last 20,000 years. Also note, we are already beyond the modern average, so global warming is here and affecting us right now.
Note the last position. That represents as much warming as would have already occurred since the days of a snowball Earth. I wonder how long it will take us to get there and if there will still be people denying anything is going on. | <urn:uuid:ac8d1f5d-8221-4db8-b2b0-ed18007692df> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://thermaleffects.wordpress.com/2014/06/09/how-much-warming-are-we-talking-about/ | 2018-06-22T20:58:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864795.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622201448-20180622221448-00577.warc.gz | en | 0.973451 | 200 |

One cannot escape today the refrain that Europe is in crisis: economic, social, political and environmental. Yet there is no consensus on what defines this crisis. Even the meaning of the subject, "Europe", is a matter of convention. In a recent "Manifesto for Europe" the economist Thomas Piketty and fourteen other co-authors referred to the European crisis as "existential"; there is widespread confusion and doubt not only amongst Europe's political, economic and cultural elites, but also amongst its citizenry concerning Europe's identity, task, role in the world, and even whether it exists in the relevant sense.
This conference aims to clarify whether the concept of "Crisis" as developed by phenomenological philosophers Edmund Husserl and Jan Patocka is still instrumental for understanding the current European crisis in its intertwined social, political and economic dimensions. We would like to open a lively discussion about if and how the phenomenological concept of Crisis may show a path out of current European crisis – and, on the other hand, if and how we can, reflecting on the contemporary situation, develop the phenomenological concept of Crisis a step further. | <urn:uuid:6e364256-140c-435b-b195-bfac28a745d7> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://www.flu.cas.cz/cz/akce-filosofickeho-ustavu-av-cr/21-konference-a-workshopy/1157-the-current-crisis-of-europe | 2020-10-26T10:49:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107891203.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20201026090458-20201026120458-00313.warc.gz | en | 0.924616 | 231 |

British Retail Consortium
The BRC Global Standard for Food Safety has been developed to specify the safety, quality and operational criteria required to be in place within a food manufacturing organization to fulfil obligations with regard to legal compliance and protection of the consumer. The format and content of the Standard is designed to allow an assessment of a company’s premises, operational systems and procedures by a competent third party – the certification body – against the requirements of the Standard.
Benefits of BRC
The Standard provides benefits not only for the retail industry, but also for food manufacturers, importers, caterers, ingredient suppliers and the food service industry. It is currently used by suppliers in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Far East, North and South America and Australia.
The BRC Global Standard for Food Certification aims to:
- Promote best practices
- Improve supplier standards and consistency, and avoid product failure
- Eliminate multiple audits of food manufacturers
- Support retailer objectives at all levels of the manufacturing supply chain
- Provide concise information to assist with due diligence defense
WHO NEEDS BRC CERTIFICATION?
The BRC Food Safety Standard can be used by any food processing operation where open food is handled, processed or packed. This could be from primary products such as fresh produce pack houses and slaughterhouses through to processed foods, canneries and ready to eat products.

Neon lights, go-go bars, ladyboys and mysterious cocktails: Bangkok's nightlife enjoys an international reputation for wild abandon.
Go-go bars in Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza and in the strip clubs
surrounding Pat Pong night market aren't only the territory of the
unscrupulous but also expat hangouts with cheap drinks and an open
air feel. The bright lights, cat calls, costumed patrons and
scandalous behaviour will make one's head start to swim.
Thai Red Bull is next added to the concoction, giving a jolt of energy to the night. Hip clubs with hip-hop beats and electro rhythms (often at the same place) vie for hot spot coolness. RCA sports a block of trendy and densely packed clubs for young party goers. To spread out, literally, Bed Club has long been at the centre of the cool crowd and offers an ultra modern bed spread interior. Khao San road is known more as a backpacker hangout but underneath (again, literally) are popular Thai clubs like Lava with a cavernous appeal and trans music mixing with the Billboard's top ten.
Less eccentric but reliable Coca-Cola gives the bucket its sweet taste. Up and down Bangkok are the standard assortment of pubs, chic hotel lounges and bars. Many foreigners prefer sections closer to Sukhumvit Road but parts of Banglamphu (Khao San excluded) and Ratchadeaphiseck have more trendy local bars. Giant beer gardens are always a fun way to sample the local brew and entertainment. Lastly, a handful of friends are needed to drink away the bucket and the night.

Helping Clients Get Out Of Their Mind And Attuned With Their Bodies
The one thing that every counsellor, healer or therapist see’s every day is chronic stress.
Clients who live in a constant state of chaos, fear and pain. Physical, mental and emotional pain in all disguises.
We will often see the clients who want a quick fix or a miracle cure or the client so desperate they will try everything and anything. But the big problem is most don’t really want to look at the cause unless they have got to crisis point.
I started studying holistic wellbeing 25 years ago after very chronic and serious health challenges from 19 left me mostly house and bedbound very young for approx 7 years. I quickly learned the medical professional didn’t know how to help and weren’t really interested. Despite starting with reiki and going on to study in many disciplines over the next 25 years.
No matter how much I learned as a counsellor, healer, therapist or coach. From my own experience, That clients need to take back their own power, take responsibility for their own life no matter what life deals you.
The one thing that every type of therapist can do is encourage our clients to take that self-responsibility and remind ourselves we are not the healer but the supporter, the teacher, the guider… We have to help the client recognise what is causing their pain, their dis-ease, their anxiety, their chronic stress.
We have to gently remind them to STOP and why they need to relax when you educate someone why they should do something and what tends to happen when they don’t. You change their perception. I have taught stress management, meditation and relaxation to clients for 17 years and coaches and therapists for the last 5 years. And what students recognise time and time again, when they and their clients really understand the stress response and the relaxation response. They look at anxiety, stress and their life a lot different.
Most people don’t want to admit their stressed out or anxious and need to see a stress counsellor, stress coach or psychotherapist. But when they understand why their mind, body and emotions feel out of control. There anxiety and stress levels start to reduce.
Educating Your Clients Why They Are Anxious Or Stressed- is a big part of helping your clients to STOP and switch off. They no longer look at relaxation as something alien. But that natural state of being that is supposed to be part of our daily routine
Encouraging Your Client To Meditate- is one of the most powerful ways you can give them back the power. Most of my students are surprised at how many types of breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques there is. And more are even more surprised how some types of meditation and relaxation should be avoided on clients suffering from PTSD, recent grief or serious mental health issues.
Encourage Your Clients To STOP – throughout the day highlight the importance of taking breaks, not missing meals and how it is important to switch off mentally and physically.
Encourage your client to RELAX – really relax, encourage them to use relaxation techniques or become a relaxation therapist and boost your expertise and skills and teach your clients how to meditate and relax.
But the biggest advantage I see over the last 20 years in the holistic industry is how easier it is to get access to so many great courses to support clients. Although I certainly am not an advocate for fast-track training in courses that should be taught over a few years. There is so much more variety and highly professional courses out there. That can help raise your expertise to another level, so you are more than a therapist. A teacher, mentor an empowerer.

A common pest across the country, stink bugs are often spotted in homes as the weather grows cooler in the fall months. As winter approaches, stink bugs head toward our warm abodes to find a cozy place to hide from the snow and freezing temperatures. Named for the smelly odor that they emanate, the stink bug is rather large in size, making them a quite the nuisance for homeowners. While you may not see many stink bugs during the winter, they will pop their heads up on warm days and will come out in full force as the grass begins popping up through the snow next spring. Luckily, there are a few preventative steps that can be taken to keep stink bugs and other winter pests out of your home.
Seal Up Cracks and Crevices
The easiest way to keep stink bugs out of your house this winter is to seal up any cracks and crevices on the exterior of your home. Pests can weasel their way into even the smallest of spaces, so take some time to walk the perimeter of your home this fall, paying special attention to the cracks around your doors and windows. Seal these spaces up with caulk or weather stripping to prevent further infestation. Also remember to seal your attic up tight, placing a cover on the chimney and using screens to cover vents. Once your home is sealed up tight, it is time to deal with the critters that have already made their way indoors.
Don’t Squish the Bugs
The worst thing about the stink bug is the odor it emits when killed. Instead of squishing these bugs like you would with any other insect pest, we recommend catching them and flushing them down the toilet or vacuuming them up. If you choose to use a vacuum, be sure changing the bag immediately after use to prevent odors from clinging to your machine. Also, throw the used bag in the trash outside to keep the stench away from your home.
If you are experiencing a stink bug infestation this fall, don’t hesitate to contact Comfort Pest Control. Located in Dunkirk, New York, our phone number is 716-366-2120. | <urn:uuid:82b7c3df-48f8-4c67-ac8f-f844e02129b4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://comfortpestcontrol.com/tag/prevent-stink-bug-infestation | 2019-07-20T14:06:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526517.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720132039-20190720154039-00004.warc.gz | en | 0.943856 | 439 |

PJ Fleck has the boat rowing at Minnesota, and has recently signed a massive extension. Do you think we’ve even got a shot at hiring him? Historically Arkansas is a better job than Minnesota, but recent years beg the question, is it anymore? Does that matter?
Adam: I’d say no chance of Fleck. Minnesota isn’t a better job than Arkansas over the long-term, but it is right now. Fleck also just got a big extension. I guess you could try, but I’d say the chances of hiring him are about zero.
Saul: I think it’s worth trying. I understand the implications of his extension, but shoot for the moon. What do you have to lose? Worse thing that happens is he says no. I still think Arkansas is the better job. SEC always pulls. The ability to try and come win in the SEC is a big deal.
Tucker: Fortune favors the bold. I don’t see a universe where this happens, but the fact that his name has come up a few times is interesting, and money talks. Despite the concerns after the two disastrous buyouts, I think we’ve got plenty of financial muscle, and the opportunity to be in the SEC seems to matter to some folks. If I was Hunter Yurachek, I’d make him say no (I think he would), even if it cost paying 10 million a year.
What would you like about this hire?
Adam: He’s probably the best up-and-coming coach in the country, period. He runs a great offense and his teams are simply solid all-around. He would be a grand slam of a hire.
Saul: I’ll shoot you straight, readers. This guy is my #1 choice for Arkansas Head Coach. I’m super high on him and I like everything about him. I want to row the freakin’ boat, baby. He took an abysmal Western Michigan team to the COTTON BOWL after going 13-0. He’s got the Golden Gophers at 9-1 and #11 in the country. The strong running game build around RPOs could really flex our athlete’s abilities. He wins everywhere he goes. Plus, it seems that at every program he’s been to his players love him.
Tucker: Everything. PJ Fleck is as entertaining a person as he is a tactician, and he’s had success in some B A D places. Western Michigan was good under him, for God’s sake. I would love everything about this hire, and would be the first person in line for the first game.
What would give you reservations about this hire?
Saul: No really strong ties to Arkansas or the region which gives me slight pause in regards to recruiting.
Tucker: Nothing. My reservations are about our ability to pull it off.
Would you personally be happy with this hire?
Saul: That’s a big 10-4
Tucker: Sure would! | <urn:uuid:ede3cf2f-04cd-4dae-badf-4dfd0994cf54> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.arkansasfight.com/2019/11/22/20978003/hogs-of-the-round-table-pj-fleck-arkansas-football-coaching-search | 2021-11-30T04:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358903.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130015517-20211130045517-00057.warc.gz | en | 0.976244 | 663 |
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio has a thriving arts community, thanks in part to a constant flow of energy from young artists with new ideas and fresh approaches. Here's a look at five to watch: Adriana Corral, Jenelle Esparza, Mark Menjivar, Fernando Andrade and Jessica Sailors.
On a trip to her hometown of El Paso, Adriana Corral walked along the border fence that separates the United States from Mexico, collecting some of the sun-beaten soil for an installation dealing with the killings of women in neighboring Juarez.
Over the past four years, she has returned to the story of those women again and again, creating quiet, meditative works that somehow speak volumes.
“I think I became really sensitive to it, especially being in such close proximity to it, and then it felt like this responsibility,” said Corral, 31, who graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a master's degree in art in 2013.
For “Voces de las Perdidas” (“Voices of the Lost”), a 2010 installation, Corral strung hundreds of ceramic body tags from a gallery ceiling. More recently, an exhibit at Cinnabar Gallery included an acetone rubbing Corral created with documents she obtained from human rights attorney Ariel Dulitzky, who sued the Mexican state of Chihuahua for not properly investigating the killings of eight women found buried in a cotton field in 2001. A similar work was made up entirely of the women's names, painstakingly applied in multiple layers to create a block of visual static.
For an exhibit coming up at Artpace in September, Corral, who shares a near West Side studio with fiancé and fellow artist Vincent Valdez, plans to apply text directly to a gallery wall and create a pair of graves on the floor — one of soil, one of ashes.
“The process is almost equally important for me (as the completed work),” she said. “When I put text up it's almost like the invisible work you don't get to see.”
Amada Cruz, executive director of Artpace, describes Corral's work as “brave, in that she's not afraid to confront difficult subject matter.”
“I also appreciate how well-researched her work is,” Cruz said. “The elegance of her forms draws you in, and then you encounter the very serious content — super smart but emotional too.”
When Jenelle Esparza was working on “Ancestral Archetypes,” a series of “shadow portraits” of women, she tried different light sources to create silhouetted images of her subjects.
“The window ended up being the best thing every time,” she said.
It's also an apt metaphor for the photographs — black-and-white double exposures that provide an intimate glimpse into the women's lives.
“I wanted to take these portraits that would tell you a little bit more about this person without showing you their face, like maybe something under the surface,” said Esparza, 28.
Esparza created the photographs in “Ancestral Archetypes” by pairing images of the gardens, plants and natural surroundings around her subjects' homes with their silhouetted images. One of the women had begun writing poetry after her husband's death.
“When the resulting image came out, these blooms were just like coming from her lips — just really beautiful,” she said.
From Corpus Christi, Esparza received a bachelor's degree in photography from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2010. In addition to her photography, she also creates multimedia installation and abstract photo-based pieces. Her résumé includes a growing list of exhibitions, including solo shows at REM Gallery and the Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum, where “Ancestral Archetypes” is on view.
“I think one thing that's most exciting for me about her work is the way that she's used traditional processes in going with film photography but has layered the images and is taking on contemporary ideas using older techniques,” said Mary Heathcott, executive director of the Blue Star.
When Esparza does freelance work, she opts for the precision of digital imagery, but for her artwork she prefers to take her chances with film, where accidents — both happy and not — are always a possibility.
“That's one thing I think I really enjoy about using film and especially when I'm using it with multiple exposures, because that organic element is out of your control,” she said.
“Ancestral Archetypes” continues through Aug. 3 at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum,116 Blue Star, www.bluestarart.org.
Mark Menjivar did not come to art by any of the traditional routes.
Instead, he studied social work at Baylor University. After graduation, he spent two years in Bolivia working with street kids and women involved in prostitution. Burned out by the experience, Menjivar returned to the United States in 2005.
“That's when I first picked up a camera and started taking photographs,” said the 34-year-old, who recently earned a master's degree in art and social practice from Portland State University.
Though now a freelance photographer and artist, his background continues to inform his work.
“I'm always looking at not just individuals, but at society and how communities come together and asking where meaning is located in what we do,” he said. “My practice is such that some people may look at me and say, 'Gosh, well, he's a journalist or a sociologist or an anthropologist' and I actually like that. I like having that mixture of things in there.”
Some of his projects include “You Are What You Eat,” a series of portraits depicting the contents of refrigerators in homes across the country; and “My Sadness Goes On and On,” an ongoing list of sad songs submitted by people around the world.
Currently, Menjivar is working on a book about “The Luck Archive,” a collection of personal narratives and objects related to the concept of luck. He began the project about three years ago, inspired by four four-leaf clovers he found pressed between the pages of a used book. He gives each person who contributes a photographic print of one of the clovers.
“So often when we think about the art world, we think about the traditional gallery system where you put something on the wall and it's for sale,” Menjivar said. “But in a lot of my projects, I'm really not selling anything. I'm giving things away to people as a thank you or as an exchange.”
“The Luck Archive” was part of an exhibit of interactive art curated by Leslie Moody Castro for Contemporary Art Month.
“Mark Menjivar is pure effervescence,” said Castro, an independent curator who lives in Austin and Mexico City. “His work is honest and thoughtful, and instigates a moment in which people can really connect.”
In Fernando Andrade's latest graphite drawings, two young boys gleefully drag a garbage bag bulging with body parts, while another boy, with a sort of malicious grin on his face, stirs acid in a barrel that has an arm hanging over the side.
Powerful, disturbing images executed in a hyper-realist style, the drawings are from the 27-year-old San Antonio artist's “Tierra y Libertad/Land and Liberty” series, inspired by his early years growing up in Ciudad Acuña, in northern Mexico — and the subsequent deterioration of the border region into a war zone.
“They come from my memories of playing as a kid, playing cops and robbers, tag, soccer in the dirt road,” Andrade, who came to San Antonio at age 7 with his family, said during a recent tour of his studio at Hausmann Millworks. “What kids are going through now is death, violence, weapons, the military. The games they are playing are a little more serious.”
With the recent influx of young immigrants from Central America, Andrade's drawings have special meaning and relevance. He will show new work at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum in December.
“He is a wonderful artist,” said Blue Star Director Mary Heathcott. “In addition to being a technically talented artist, Fernando's work deals with contemporary issues in interesting ways — child's play as a point of investigation of U.S./Mexico border violence, for example. He has this keen approach to his subject matter and composition.”
By contrast, Andrade's paintings are abstract riots of color and pattern, influenced by Gustav Klimt, the Austrian symbolist painter, as well as by Andrade's experience as a muralist in the Jefferson area. While the drawings reflect the world and have a hard-hitting message, the paintings are simple personal expression.
“They reflect my spiritual side,” said Andrade, a Jefferson High School graduate who earned an associate's degree in graphic design from San Antonio College. “I just let it flow. It's you and the paint. Have fun.”
Jessica Sailors is young and thin, with a radiant smile and her hair in a thick red braid. She could be one of those models exuding good health from a grocery-counter magazine cover.
“But I still struggle with body image,” said Sailors, a 27-year-old Bastrop native who recently earned her master's of fine arts degree in ceramics from the University of Texas at San Antonio and now is teaching at the school. “When I get out of the shower in the morning, it's hard for me not to look at myself in the mirror and see crow's feet and love handles. 'Oh, my butt's dropping, better do more squats.'”
Body image is at the core of Sailors' ceramic work. Her most recent pieces resemble women's body parts formed together into what she refers to as “these intimate little objects.” She calls some of them “Fleshy Bits.”
“I'm interested in cultural perspectives of beauty and the way we treat women's bodies,” Sailors said.
Last year, Sailors' work was part of the Kinsey Institute Juried Art Show at Indiana University, and she also has exhibited at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts.
“I have loved her work for years,” said local ceramics artist Wesley Harvey. “She was actually an undergraduate student of mine at Texas Tech University, and I knew at that moment that she was going to be a great artist. I love the sexuality of her work, but I like the ambiguity also. There is a kind of grotesque beauty with her work that I think is very nice.”
Why, Sailors asks, are fat deposits on women's chests glorified, yet fat deposits elsewhere on the body demonized?
She realizes men have body issues as well, but said there seems to be more pressure on women to live the ideal.
“And it's women doing it to each other,” she said. “Someone said a man will punch another man in the face and that will be the end of it. But a woman will give another woman an eating disorder.” | <urn:uuid:b69eaa39-d0a0-4f5e-ad7b-15076a348fc9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.expressnews.com/entertainment/arts-culture/article/Five-San-Antonio-artists-to-watch-5617566.php | 2020-10-01T22:59:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402132335.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001210429-20201002000429-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.967395 | 2,436 |

The Brake Man to Unveil World's Most Rigid Compact Brake Caliper at 2013 SEMA Show
The Brake Man, the innovative designer and manufacturer of made-in-America brake systems and components used by motorsport champions and record breakers, introduces the game-changing Tornado F2 caliper. The surprisingly small racing caliper weighs approximately three pounds and utilizes the company’s patented center bridge design to create the world’s most rigid caliper of its size.
After years of design, development, track testing, and a few trips to the winner’s circle with factory supported drivers through select chassis builders, the Tornado F2 caliper by The Brake Man will be presented to the industry in booth #22830 at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
Perfect for SCCA Formula 500, 1000, Continental, Ford, "C" sports racers, and comparable vehicles, the Tornado F2 caliper joins The Brake Man's patented Tornado™ F3, F4, and F5 calipers as truly the strongest racing calipers in the industry, despite similar claims by competitors.
Like all Tornado calipers, the Tornado F2 uses high strength steel center sections in key stress areas to virtually eliminate caliper deflection at temperatures up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Forged proprietary aluminum alloy caliper bodies mate to the steel center sections for the ultimate in rigidity and weight savings.
The Brake Man's use of steel center section does not make the caliper heavier, as the high strength of the steel means the caliper is profiled to a minimum overall shape without losing strength or clamping force. This innovation allows The Brake Man to produce an approximately 3 pound caliper that uses the traditional LD20 pad shape and provides incredible clamping force while eliminating drag for freer corner entry, improved lap times, and double-to-triple the pad life. The small yet mighty caliper gives drivers the edge they can use to take and hold the lead with unbeatable, controllable stopping power in and out the corners.
Tornado brake calipers by The Brake Man are available for a wide range of applications through race performance aftermarket dealers and retailers or directly from the company. For more information visit www.TheBrakeMan.com or keep up with The Brake Man news and announcements through Facebook (/TBMbrakes)and Twitter (@TBMbrakes).
The Brake Man engineering team has developed inspired and race-proven technology that has revolutionized the industry while setting the standard for high-performance and durability. The Brake Man racing brake systems have been mainstays for championship and event-winning monster trucks, long-distance off-road vehicles, drag racers, as well as dirt and asphalt racecars. The Brake Man provides significantly improved performance, torque output, rigidity, pedal feel, thermal capacity and component life along with a reduced un-sprung weight and often eye-catching designs. | <urn:uuid:bdea5472-cf7b-4e79-ad19-e1182bdbf3c0> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.semashow.com/press/2013/08/03/the-brake-man-to-unveil-worlds-most-rigid-compact-brake-caliper-at-2013-sema-show | 2014-03-07T08:11:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999636902/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060716-00094-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.874705 | 725 |

Kansas AG Denies Virgin BirthThe Attorney General of Kansas has demanded the records from abortion clinics concerning, among other things, abortions by women under the legal age of sixteen. He argues that the State of Kansas was never alerted to obvious cases of statuatory rape. I guess he is saying it is impossible for a woman to become pregnant without sex. Guess that rules out Jesus.

The Solution to the Problem of International Terrorism, in Four Parts
Part One (Version 1.1)
Correctly Identifying the Source of Conflict, or, "What seems to be the trouble?"
This is my proof that the basis of terrorism is linguistic. I will show that the linguistic basis is present, and non-trivial, in all the major internal terrorism problems in the world. I will show that cases where it does not appear to be the case have alternative explanations which do nothing to undermine the main case. I will then establish the parallel with the "war on terror." I started this project with the idea that religions, which are all based on lies, are a problem which can only be solved by their destruction. I still think that religions are a major problem, but during my research I came to the conclusion that language was more important. Without the ability to communicate, agreement or disagreement can hardly be reached. To pull up terrorism by the roots, you must know those roots. Usama bin-Laden is right, from the perspective of Islam, that non-Muslims on the Saudi penninsula is an anathema. The United States might well have needed troops stationed there for the first War in Iraq, but they stayed years and years after. Why is it that so few Americans were aware of this insult to a billion religionists? The absence of cross-culture communication, the lack of the ability to easily transfer or relevant ideas, can become critical. There are roughly twenty language families in the world. A person can learn a language closely related to their own more easily than they can learn a language from another family. Now, a detailed look at some of the world's largest nations, and their internal terrorism problems.

Give Me Access!Was cruising the conservative drek sites and found out that Howard Brush Dean is debating Richard Lying-Gasbag Perle. Might be aired on C-SPAN on Saturday. Almost famous are the Chomsky-Perle debates, from the late 1980s. I should give a listen. I hope Dean did, too. Here they are.
DeLay(Religious Right) Packs the Ethics CommitteeAfter firing two members of the US House of Representatives Ethics Committee, second ranking House Republican, Tom DeLay of Texas picks two people who have contributed to his defense fund to replace them. DeLay is also using his force in Texas to prevent prosecutors from bringing cases against Representatives unless a _partisan_ panel OK's it.
This?For a fuller discussion of John Negroponte see the link, from SourceWatch (formerly Disinfopedia). Includes this most telling of tidbits
[F]rom 1971 to 1973, Negroponte was the officer-in-charge for Vietnam at the National Security Council (NSC) under Henry KissingerMeanwhile, ever stalwart ally Britain claims to have lost 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of Plutonium. British officials declare nothing's wrong and that "This is an accounting exercise." Perhaps next time they can do accounting exercises with pencils and paper.
UPDATE: David Corn, at The Nation, has another article on John. Meanwhile, in East Asia... Now, the Remain Calm "Orange Team" (this naming pre-dates Yuschenko's efforts) in China/Taiwan, (4th or 5th in prominence, after Red, Blue and Green teams), believes China has no right to Taiwan (despites PRC's claim) and Taiwan has no right to China (despite Kuomintang claim's). The US is (no surprise) being complete idiots now.
- US criticizes China for increasing military. US claims this upsets Taiwan/China balance. I believe China plans to take advantage of the US extension of forces (Iraq, Afghanistan, perhaps waiting for one more) to invade Taiwan. I believe it is a rational strategy.
- US criticizes Japan for engaging in trade talks with North Korea.
- US Ambassador to Japan, former Senate Majority Leader, Howard Baker, III, critcizes North Korea, calling it an "irresponsible regime" and "a deadly threat.
Q: I have met some Korean officials who have said that the U.S. seems to be limiting its information sharing with South Korea regarding the North. For example, the Yanggang-do explosion last September. Because the U.S. did not provide timely information, South Koreans had a difficult time analyzing the situation. Could you provide your comments?
Hill: I don't want to sound too much like a diplomat, but let me just say, we don't discuss specific intelligence issues. But, generally, and I must say including that incident, we have an excellent, excellent intelligence relationship, and an excellent relationship in sharing. I've worked with a lot of countries, I've never seen a better one.

Feeding the Rumor MillI haven't said much about Guckert/Gannon here. Was talking with someone last night about it, and I think I have (yet another) guess.
- Guckert didn't have the regular security check, or
- The background check system sucks.
- To get past the security check either
- He was part of a White House orchestrated plot (i.e. "Let's get someone in there and lob softballs at McClellan when we need it"), or
- He was having sex with someone important, who made the problems go away
- Donald Segretti, lawyer, shady trickster during Watergate
- Ann Coulter, lawyer, hatchet-lady pundit.
- John O'Neill, lawyer (and Nixon supporter), hatchet-author of anti-Kerry "Unfit for Command"
- Buckhead, lawyer, Freeper who made a whole bunch of false allegations about Killian Memos (re: typography).
Media Wants War in Iran/SyriaLots of news stories about an explosion "near" a nuclear plant today. In fact, the explosion was 110 miles from the (non-operational) nuclear plant. The media is reporting that Bush has withdrawn the Envoy from Syria. The article I'm reading, from the SF Gate, ignores any help Syria has been in capturing al-Qaeda and related groups. It's a "hit" peice, in the sense that it seems to encourage war. No sense linking to it. Also reported are large protests over the death of Hariri. Based on (secret evidence? sheer belligerence? no one seems to know) the US is blaming Syria for the death of a popular Prime Minister, Hariri, who resigned in protest after Lahoud got a second term by having the Parliament change the Constitution, ostensibly at Syria's discretion. Too bad stupid RW Reagan backed the wrong forces in Lebanon back in the 1980s. There would likely be a stable, pro-US government in Beirut today.
Tip to FafHouse votes to keep section of law that allows Secretary of Homeland Security (we are all safe from terrorists engaging in shady Arkansas land deals, Whitewater prosecutor) Chertoff. for any reason he sees fit, to ignore all American laws. A little background information, from OMB Watch

This feelingIt's quite sad. I love writing, but I base my writing on my reading. A few days ago my laptop got hosed. Fell off the table (my fault) with the lid open. Over 2.2 years, but still, it's sad. It's harder on this machine. At least, as of today, this machine is working pretty decently as a desktop (had been just a server). Expect the Great Seal of the United States (reverse) to dissapear from the blog, and no new ones to appear.
Screw 'emWithout asking you, or telling you, slimy, greedy corporations have managed to collect and store every single peice of data they could get their hands on, firms like the SCUMBAGS who rigged the Florida election for Bush in 2000 (ChoicePoint) to market leader Axciom are doing what, in Republican memory circles, you could blast someone with a shotgun for in other times. "Why, you, coming up here on my porch, wanting information about me (for free) and selling it? Why don't I just kill you? Git, ya dang whippersnapper." Ah, I can't really claim that all these data thieves (yes, theieves, did they ask? No, they just took) are with one party or not, but I do know that the corporate media and NPR are making sure to put THEIEVES in a fair and balanced light. I believe the just thing to do is to force them to empty their databases, and start over, this time with no theft at all. Actaully, I'm not sure there is any non-spying application of this data. There is no way to fix it if they are wrong (and they have a vested interest in saying they are right, even when they aren't.) Aha! I figured it out. I think I know how to nail them, now. I had momentarily felt a bit powerless before these corporate scumfucks.

(The First) Good News for America (in Iraq)Election results which show the United States did not rig the elections to let their favored candidate win amount to the first good news for Americans concerning, as the Daily Show has dubbed it, Mess-o-potamia. It's good news for Ameicans both because corporate profits are enured and because if Ba'athist Allawi had won, everyone would have known it was a set-up. . Now, I don't see why this couldn't have happened months, or more than a year ago. We have done little to nothing to get Iraqis ready for the event in the meantime. Had we acted earlier, the voter turnout in Al Anbar province would have been closer to 70%, instead of 2%.

No War In IranJim Lobe, has this on recent war-mongering developments on Iran. A funny story? When I had my apartment overlooking the Hudson River, New Jersey, and the Statue of Liberty, I couldn't help notice that (post-9/11) there was a Coast Guard (Cutter?) parked near Lady Liberty 24/7. Around then an Iranian expat terrorist group had a press conference, aired on C-SPAN, claiming that they had "proof" Iran was working on a nuclear weapon, which would be a violation of their NNPT commitments. At night I would use a single bulb and my hand to send morse code (obviously legible to many Coast Guard members) "No Snaps, Just Maps, No War in Iran." The facts were the terrorists only produced a map with two red stars on it, no "evidence" whatsoever of an Iranian weapons program. I suspect the penalty for efforts like theirs, and Chalabi's, should be death. "Lying In Order To Use America To Overthrow A Foreign Power" ought to be the crime's title, eh?
This is your F.B.I.Korean War era episode of "This is your F.B.I." "Draft Dodging, Inc." (Sep 22, 1950) has a great commercial in the middle, from the FBI, explaining how no home will be entered without a warrant, etc, etc, and really highlights the difference between modern Fascist Bushf*cks and Eisenhower Republicans.
New Drums Sound On IranThe US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is going to have a National Intelligence Estimate produced, and do a general review on Iran. I'll link to it when its produced. Will it be the same sort of cherry-picked document that was released concerning Iraq? Will they step up to the plate and admit they know nothing concrete? Since the Committee is controlled by a pretty consistent Bush Republican, P Roberts of Kansas, we can guess that whatever is produced will be couched in the most inflammatory language. In any event, the right wing press will jump all over select quotes to prove to the American people that Iran is "evil." Bush is, in fact, evil, and the Iranian leadership are no saints. Who is Mark Palmer?
Mark Palmer, a former U.S. State Department official active in promoting democracy across Eastern Europe and the Middle East, says the fact Mr. Bush devoted part of the State of the Union address and almost his entire inaugural address to the importance of democracy indicates the value it has for the president. It also explains why Iran is a frequent topic of the Bush administration.
"He has made this the number one priority in the second administration: to help people who are willing to stand up for their freedom," said Mr. Palmer.
Ambassador Palmer, pointing to the success of recent elections in Afghanistan, the Palestinian territories and Iraq, says the Bush Administration wants free and fair elections in Iran.

Deep Throat RumorsI'm listening to Bush sell, sell, sell his lame, lame, lame medicare drug bill. "I signed medicare reform proudly, and any attempt to limit the choices of seniors, or take away their prescription drug coverage under medicare, will meet my veto" (says the vetoless President). Please recall the very thorough study on who Deep Throat by University of Illinois Professor Bill Gaines, repeated more than a half dozen times in the last couple years. Their results are available here. They are pretty sure it was Fred Fielding.
The 2004 Dem Primary, in moving picturesWell, an animated gif, anyway. I put all the polls from 2004, statewide, in a program I wrote (using Gimp::Fu) to generate a *huge* animated gif (3MB). If you want to look, I put it here. Someone had said how well Lieberman had done. I agree he did well in the NE, but rarely did well outside there. I can generate sub-gifs for individual candidates, too.

Tip to Balta BlogHere is a funny post on the loony GOPster Tom Coburn, Junior Senator from Oklahoma
"And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you're healthier than if you don't. That is what the ultimate science shows. . . . In fact, there's no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and, in fact, they make you healthier."In related news, Coburn has received a call from the mother ship.

All the left...Is it just me, or does the whole "left" want Novak nailed for revealing what a source told him, namely, that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent. What I don't need explained is that if reporters are forced to reveal their sources... leaks become less likely... which plays directly into the hands of the fascists. What am I missing here? Or has the left that has been caught by a clever ploy, using the aged Novak to end reporter-source confidentiality forever! I found this well-meaning information page that says half the states have Shield Laws, which protect reporters from revealing their sources. Another link says over 30 States and DC have such laws, and that in some case a Branzburg balancing test is required, but that in New York and Montana the shield is absolute Aha, here it is, a discussion of the Federal Shield Law. Either I am missing something, or the lefties are doing the fascist's bidding (yet again).
US/UK/Aus/Can Press Lies To Americans (More Proof)What actually happened with C Rice and european leaders for the last few days? Does this even amount to a story? That didn't stop the torrent of ink spilled. Was she there to make amends? Not one story mentions any conciliatory gestures made on the part of the US, the strident demands, instead, were always for the EU to cave before the awe-inspiring freedom spreader of Bu$hCo. First, the foreign press...
- Der Speigel French Size Up Rice "Condoleezza Rice is wrong if she thinks one pretty Parisian performance will make up for two years of strain and outright antagonism with Europe."
- NY Post (Murdoch) Condi Storms the Bastille
- Washington Times (Moonie) Rice asks Europe to help spread freedom : Over 60% direct Rice quotes
- Reuters Rice Boosts U.S.-French Ties But Problems Remain Starts with "Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice struck all the right diplomatic notes in a visit to Paris which French commentators hailed as a 'faultless recital'." Generally rah-rahing, notes that three French at Gitmo might be released.
- Washington Times (Editorial) : Rice Dazzles Europe "Miss Rice blew away the grumpy old men of Europe..."
- ABC News (AP) Rice Gives Europe a New, Stylish, Intellectual Image of United States : Entirely laudatory, very fashion-minded. Contradicts NY Post by saying she was wearing very, very expensive brooch, which claimed she was dressed low-key.
- The Australian French kisses as 'Condi' heals rift : 100% upbeat, includes a godawful C Rice quote "Imagine where we would be today if the brave founders of French liberty or of American liberty had been content with the world as it was[.]". She's a fucktard. From article "She was, in turn, warmly received by her hosts, who were keen to downplay bitter disputes over the 2003 US-led Iraq invasion."
- Sydney Morning Herald : Rice's trans-Atlantic charm offensive hits the spot 100% optimistic, mentions US demands.
- The Age US calls on Europe to foster Arab stability : Upbeat
- Toronoto Star : U.S. `stands ready to work with Europe,' Rice says Tiny bit of sobering background, mostly upbeat.
- Guardian, UK Rice woos Paris with call to build bridges Almost entirely uncritical, one student quoted at end being unsure.
- Houston Chronicle Rice warns Iran about nuclear weapons : 1st half on Iran angle, second on NATO/EU relations. The Chronicle also ran the AP "style" peice linked to at ABC above. Drivel.
- Detroit Free Press Rice Makes Nice With Europe : Ends with lots of Rice quotes, almost fair.
- Springfield, MO, News-Leader (Knight-Ridder)Rice calls for allies to move past differences Final sentence in short article is critical.
- Wired China, Iran Splits to Test Rice and New US-EU Mood Upbeat
- LA Times Rice Tries to Bridge Gap With Europe Happy.
- Globe and Mail Rice strikes conciliatory tone in Paris but, in fact, the article notes no conciliatory gestures. Instead we find "Rice urged France yesterday to get over a nasty rift about President George W. Bush's war on Iraq and make common cause 'because the fair wind of freedom is at our back.'"
- NPR From before speech. Pretty good for US coverage, still, but says C Rice will "talk straight" and be "intellectual."
- Jerusalem Post (AP) Rice warns Iran of looming UN action Focusses on Iran angle, but entirely pro-US
- Indianapolis Star (AP) Rice urges U.S.-European cooperation Is this getting repetitive for you, too?
- Kanas City Star (Knight-Ridder) In Europe, Rice tries to turn page Ends with "tone of meeting respectful and non-confrontational
- London Free Press? Rice takes unity talk to Paris Godawful.
- SF Gate Rice moves to bridge U.S.-Europe divide Pathetic
- Boston Herald Rice calls for US, Europe to move beyond differences Pathetic, again "On her tour across Europe, Rice has generally met a warm reception, including in Germany."
- Seattle Times Rice urges unity in Europe Almost a bit critical, includes "'It was strange because the basic line, apart from freedom and liberty, was let's let bygones be bygones,' said Francois Heisbourg, a military and defense expert who had been invited to meet Rice at a small gathering this morning."
Iraq Election Results Delayed, Move to Make Sure Sistani gets less than 50%From the Guardian
Final results from the Jan. 30 balloting were to be announced Thursday. But spokesman Farid Ayar said the deadline would slip due to the need for a recount.
``We don't know when this will finish,'' he said. ``This will lead to a little postponement in announcing the results.''
Ayar would not say where the 300 ballot boxes came from.
C Rice, Blood Dripping From Mouth, Declares"Nato united over Iraq", a friend of mine suggests that they might fall and squish it, if they aren't careful. Meanwhile, down the memory hole, we have the opposite story, Divided NATO, from just two months ago, when Poland, Hungary and the Netherlands are upping the NATO contingent from 60 to 300, while France, Germany, Spain, Greece and Belgium all refuse to send troops. The newer story explains how that the 300 promised troops in the old story only amount to 100 so far, so actually amounts to an increase in only 40. No country is reporting a change in troop deployments, none of France, Germany, Spain, Greece or Belgium have decided to send troops, but C Rice says NATO is united now. She's on drugs. I don't know how else to explain it. Still, she is, perhaps, more connected to reality than P Wolfowitz, who declared that the bombing of the UN station in Iraq, fifteen months ago was going to lead to a renewed UN support for US actions in Iraq.

Channeling the NeoCon MindToday, in the Middle East, SecState C Rice declared, as quoted in Zaman, "[The Iranians] behavior towards their own people indicate that they could not adapt to reform steps in the Middle East." C Rice then grabbed her ankles to indicate how Middle Easterners should accept the "Bomb-Them-Into-Democracy" doctrine of BushCo. I don't know what sort of mindset this is, but Tunisian Foreign Minister Abdelbaki Hermassi, as quoted in the Turkish Press, said "We think that the integrity and the sovereignty of Iraq should be absolutely protected[.]" I guess the border negotiations of the early 20th century racist Colonialists are good enough for us! See my solution to terrorism to explain the flaw in this reasoning. Tunisia must be "acting the good puppet" and Turkey is simply afraid of their long-oppressed Kurds. Recall that, during the 1990s, the biggest arms purchaser in the world was Turkey, and the target of all those weapons of destruction were the Kurds.
Palestine-Israel Cease-Fire AgreedReuters reporter. Per usual, if even one of the millions of Palestinians attacks, all further negotiations by Israel will stop
Israel says it is ready to coordinate with Abbas on its plan to withdraw settlers from occupied Gaza and part of the West Bank this year if violence stops and Palestinians rein in militants, as they are meant to under the road map.If you'd read the news, you'd have thought that the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza was a done deal, and simply required the Knesset's approval. Oh no, suckers, it's all dependent on all violence ceasing. Also from the same article.
Although no formal cease-fire was signed at the summit, it was widely seen as a step back toward negotiations on a U.S.-backed "road map" for a Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel.I can hear the pseudo-left and the neo-cons whooping it up now. No progress on any sticking points, militants vowing not to abide, Israel's big promise seems to stop assasinating Palestinians, and only one side gets constantly insulted.
But Islamic militants behind suicide bombings, rocket attacks and shootings said they were not bound by Abbas's cease-fire, though they would continue to follow a de facto truce at his behest.

Admission of Reagan CorruptionI'm listening to one of the convicted members of the Reagan administration explain what he did on C-SPAN Radio. It's a couple of Reagan sycophants doing the interview, but the guy seems relatively honest. A (mob related) "maritime union" "helped" with passing the first tax increase after Reagan's massive 1981 tax cut, called TEFRA. The "maritime union" helped get it passed. The convicted guy wrote Ed Meese, then Attorney General, saying how the "maritime union" should be helped out, since friends should be helped. Google searches for "Reagan 'maritime union' TEFRA conviction" and "Reagan mob TEFRA conviction" yield no results. Based on interviews with Gerald Strober and Deborah Hart Strober.
Uniting All HumanityI can't think of a better way than to collectively agree that religion was a mistake. We can debate, and argue, about what religion really used to mean, but the important thing is that we are all willing to laugh at each other's former beliefs, and our own, and get back to the business of inhabiting the planet in a civilized manner. Perhaps I impose upon my readers by saying what I think religion was. It was politics. Before there was any, well-known philosophy of law, or known notion of the common weal, or society-at-large, there were still people who wanted things to work. They wanted it so badly, they wanted everyone to obey the same set of rules, and to have these rules last forever. Operating without a license, without writing, without a formal system, they wished and wished and wished, they thought and thought and thought. Some of these people believed the inspiration came from themselves, some believed it came from outside, some believed one and acted like the other. For a variety of reasons, but largely because its generally not the colossal boneheads who think of such things, they made their mark. There is no god, there is no enlightenment, there is no spirit world, there is no afterlife. We are all here, together, on Earth, and that only for a little while. So, take care, enjoy yourself, and make sure to contribute to the greater good. Even if I managed to write that down perfectly, fully intelligible and instantly understood to all, there is room for argument. Why did I say take care in front of the other two? Are they equally important? Of ranked importance? Do we want a steady state society? If we don't, we need a flexible system, and the powerful will always tend to flex the system for their own good, if not immediately, than eventually, usually right after we think everything is alright. I'm listening to the Cryosleep channel.
Another View of BushHe didn't order that the Americans should plant fake WMD in Iraq, for that we should thank him. Perhaps its still in the works, but I doubt it. Looks like the pro-Sharia crowd is going to handily win the Iraqi elections. Now, on the one hand, American conservatives are going to cry that we empowered another Iran. However, if handled deftly, America has an opportunity to prove it has nothing personal against Islam and an Islamic State. If America pulled this off, well, it might mean great things to undermining the campaign of Usama bin-Laden. However, as asset sales of Iraq go directly to enriching American firms, I doubt this. Not only that, the Bush administration will never spin it this way. As a bunch of people have noted, the farm subsidy cuts sound good, and have all the likelihood of occuring as snow in NYC on the 4th of July.
The Quickest WayThe quickest way to get me to ignore your blog is to post about sports. However, this morning Cheney picked the Eagles by three on some morning show. Probably an anti-Massachusetts ploy, as the opposition has their stadium in Kerry's home state.&nsbp; The Eagles lost.

The Politics of FreedomThe Carpetbagger has a post from Morbo which discusses the chance that Bush's freedom cudgel will be weilded to free the people who need it the most. Sadly, like so much else, the issue of freedom is a political business. Morbo relies on Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, and Reporters Without Borders. Now, up front, let me say that most of the employees of these organizations are well-meaning, but if you know of a case where a real political minded person was denied employment at one of these agencies, for having their own agenda, please let me now. The truth is that all of these groups are in some sense or other front groups. OK, I can't find any nefarious links to Reporters Without Borders, but I do sense a pro-Western bias in their coverage of non-reporter based facts.
- Amnesty International
For a few years now, Amnesty's Executive Director is man named Dr. William Schulz. I'll start by saying the only nice thing I can about him, he doesn't like torture. He doesn't like it at all. Has AI cared at all about Alberto Gonzales, or the US torture or rendition? Their front page trumpets Sudan, a classic issue of the religious right in America, where the UN doesn't think there was a genocide, but the US is pushing the idea anyway. Even though Dr. Schulz is a sincere opponent of torture, he is, more than that, a true friend of the Bush administration.
Schulz is a product of one of America's premiere right wing law schools, the University of Chicago(also alma mater of John Ashcroft). The other two currently are Georgetown and George Mason, by the way. With a Doctor of Divinity and a Doctor of Ministry from Meadville-Lombard Theological School, perhaps I am too harsh on him. But I have seen Schulz mock the very concept of Human Rights, and declare that the greatest American champions of the oppressed are a couple of Georgetown professors. He is a Unitarian Universalist, went to Oberlin, has no problem with gays, but that still doesn't explain what I saw when I saw him at Georgetown (on C-SPAN).
- Freedom House
Unlike Amnesty, I am hardly the first to point out Freedom House's right wing agenda, so I'll just like to the incredibly informative Right-Web.
- Human Rights Watch
Perhaps I'm overstating their political agenda, but there are a very large number of powerful CFR and Soros related people on the Boards of HRW. CFR was the foreign policy establishment during the Cold War. Gore was a member, Bush was not.
- Reporter Without Borders
Like I said, this is a new group to me. I don't know who funds them, or who is in control. On the topic of the murder, imprisonment, and harassment of journalists, I expect they are very good, if not the best. But when they delve into other areas I have to criticize. I see, for example, that they think it is a travesty that China, Cuba and Zimbabwe are on the Human Rights Commission of the UN. The US has killed more innocent people in the last two years than any other country. Another way to look at it is, if human rights abusers are never allowed to be on the Commission, they will always treat the Commission as suspect, and they will just tune out their constant nagging. So, in this regard, at least, I see them as stepping outside what they understand and pontificating.
Cheney, Continuing to Dissemble"there is no doubt that if the sanctions were lifted, Saddam would be back in business again." He bases this on the Duelfer report, he claims the Duelfer report indicates this precisely. The Duelfer Report actually says that not one person interviewed claimed that Saddam had talked to them about restarting weapons programs. That not one scrap of physical evidence indicates that Saddam planned to restart the weapons programs. With enemies like these in power, America is doomed. Perhaps Saddam, I mean, Dick Cheney, meant standard commercial contracts when he said "back in business," in which case it was simply sleight of words.
SighIs anything good happening? Bush plans to cut back on farm subsidies, in a way that seems to support small farmers and undercut agribusiness, but I don't expect him to expend any political capital on this. The US is gassing one of the most biologically diverse regions of the world to eradicate Coca. Prof. J Cole and Pundit J Goldberg (son of L Goldberg) are in a tiff, because J Goldberg put forth that the 1997 Iranian election was a fraud compared to the 2005 Iraqi election. Cole's follow up arguments sound good, while Goldberg's sound ignorant, but I don't know much about the 1997 election. James Wolcott writes it up in a way that makes me smile.

God Bless Executive Pay: Iraq's OilTip to Dahr Jamail...
On Dec. 22, 2004, Iraqi Finance Minister Abdel Mahdi told a handful of reporters and industry insiders at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that Iraq wants to issue a new oil law that would open Iraq's national oil company to private foreign investment. As Mahdi explained: "So I think this is very promising to the American investors and to American enterprise, certainly to oil companies."Mahdi is on the Sistani list. Corporate Profits Are Guaranteed! WOO HOO!
Act to Defend the Defense Of Marriage ActI'm married to the idea of acting to defend the defense of marriage act. Corrupting liberals and their homosexual agenda have ruled America for far too long. When are the decent people going to stand up and say, categorically, "No?" Every day I pick up the paper and read about gays bombing marriage license offices, assassinating Priests and Ministers during wedding ceremonies, car-bombing Vegas chapels, and forcing people to divorce at gunpoint. Thankfully, even as Democrats kowtow to terrorists, our President has the moral conviction necessary to confront evil proactively, to embrace positive change, and to wield the cudgel of freedom. Thanks to a friend for the idea for this post.
Revealed WisdomThe Washington Post has a human-readable explanation of the Bush privatization plan Social Security. The article explains, I think handily, how the private fund would work, and by what amount of the gov't portion would be reduced. As right wingers are quick to point out, the private accounts are transferrable upon death, unlike the gov't pension, and thus represent an asset. However, two factors need to be taken into account, the first from the same WaPo article, namely, the Congressional Budget Office calculates that, adjusting for risk, and including overhead costs, the new accounts will result in zero net benefit for the citizen. The second, which I derived myself, says this. If there is no net benefit change and the money is converted to relatives upon death, then the system will have even higher deficits than currently for no benefit. Although, to be fair, the slightly increased deficits are part of the transfer from young diers to old, which is often cited as a weakness in the system.

News from Iraq, re:ElectionFrom the WSJ (no registration required) news of good and bad. The author was the one who had their personal e-mail of the tragedies in Iraq blasted over the net, iirc Farnaz Fassihi. On the bad side
What's happening in the Sunni enclaves of Adhamiya and Ammariya, where the residents are notoriously anti-American and sympathetic to insurgents? "None of the polling stations have opened here. The streets are desolate," said my friend, Ziad, from his home in Adhamiya around 3 p.m. "We haven't left the house."and more good news.
On the Iraq Elections: Unanswered QuestionsFirst, apologies to Jay Garner, the quickly sacked first US Viceroy of Iraq. I have repeatedly stated that he had no relevant experience. I was ignorant of his position as autocrat in the Kurdish zone after the first Gulf War. In March, 2004, Garner told the BBC that he was fired because he called for quick elections. Here is lengthy coverage of Plan Iraq, courtesy of Greg Palast. Now, I don't know anyone who will argue that the situation has improved in the last couple of years in Iraq. The attacks grow more numerous. The animosity towards the occupation forces grow greater, with the lion's share reserved for the United States.&nsbp; So, why couldn't elections have happened earlier? Was it a coincidence that they were delayed until after the US elections? Assuming anyone even wants expat Iraqis like Allawi and Yawar to be in charge, wouldn't they have had a better chance before the current situation? And lastly, why did on one day the head Iraqi election commissioner say preliminary results would be available, while on the next day, election day, nothing was? In truth, little to nothing has changed in the last 22 months to insure a more sagacious result from the Iraqi elections. In this way, the Bush adminstration made a mockery of the Germany and Japan they so often reminded Americans about. America didn't liberate Japan and Germany. And precious few Americans alive today had anything to do with it. This post is in part a response to the abyssmal post, linked to by Direland, by M Malkin, on the "silence" of the left on Iraqi elections.

Iraq Conspiracy? No, Confluence (UPDATE 2)UPDATE 1: Added Palast link to list
UPDATE 2: Added Perle/Soviet to list In the last couple days I've seen a couple posts which attempt to answer the question "Why did we fight in Iraq?" and I realized that although I'd commented this material elsewhere, I'd never blogged it myself. There were a host of forces at play, all with the same aim, while the anti-war arguments were generally based on hypothesis or law. I'm not sure which order to describe the factors, so please don't read anything in there.
- PNAC and neo-conservatism always favored using US force to destroy particular enemies of the US establishment, not that Cheney didn't do business with official US enemies. Emerging out of 70s hawkish leftism (e.g. Scoop Jackson) and the classrooms of the disciples of Leo Strauss, these disturbing elements of the US power structure argue from the axiom that the US is the world Leviathan, a position which is false.
- War is good for the media's ratings.
- Colin Powell, even before Bush took office, was known to favor war against Iraq and North Korea, both of whom he considered Cold War aggressor nations which had not paid for their aggression. It's hard for me to see how Kim Jong Il can be blamed for the war of his father, Kim Il Song, but that didn't stop General Powell.
- Soldiers want action and medals.
- The foreign policies of certain US allies, namely, Israel. Israel wanted Saddam gone. No one can argue that the Saudis really loved Saddam, either.
- In 2000, Iraq became the first major oil producing country to replace the dollar with the Euro. Many trillions of Middle Eastern "Petrodollars" have long been converted into US dollars before being spent. This is a great deal for the United States, and changing it would weaken the US economy.
- Defense contractors want sales.
- Oil security. I think the major US focus on oil as a national security measure dates back to WWII. Tanks and planes don't run without oil. Battles in WWII were won and lost based on fuel supplies. Britian invaded Iraq during WWII because Iraq wanted to sell oil to Germany (a fact notably absent from this CIA timeline). Having Iraq's oil in friendlier hands would help this aging national security issue, and continue to bolster the US economy.
- Saddam had been, in fact, a murderous tyrant (although everyone glosses over the fact that his last few years had been his best, kills-per-year wise).
- Saddam allegedly tried to kill Bush's father. Taking the nation to war for personal reasons is treason.
- Because they could. Some people were tasked with things like "Find any dirt on Iraq that you can, and make a big stink about it." They were given a job by the President, and they did it well (enough). William Luti and Doug Feith figure prominently as neo-cons who can assert "I was just doing my job."
- The last reason I can think of is Bush's religion. He doesn't see things as events in the grand scheme of history, they are Signs From God, and God got him elected, and therefore, God's will must be done. Israel is not a country, but the Holy Land, and Saddam was certainly an enemy of Israel.
- If Greg Palast's report is correct, it had a lot more to do with greed than I have suggested. Pure, unadulterated profit motive.
- According to Richard Perle biographer Alan Weisman, Perle himself really wanted to live/relive the feeling people had when the Soviet Union toppled. Kinda confusing, though, since we didn't shoot at Gorbachev, or try a "decapitation" attack, to do it.
- It might be obvious to sane people, but no one could prove it would be a quagmire. No one knew, in advance, that Bu$hCo would choose oil-men and terrorists to run the new Iraq. As unlikely as it was, war planners made comparisons to post-WWII Japan or Germany.
- It's doubtful Bush considered Saddam's Iraq as worthy of the rights of a Sovereign, as he doesn't consider Arabs to be worthy of the rights in the Constitution.
- And international law? Why, I saw the Bush administration international law expert on C-SPAN. It was pathetic. He brought up the Caroline incident and the Cuba blockade/missile crisis as examples of US pre-emption. The Caroline incident was a British action, while the Cuba blockade was used as an example, five years later, by Egypt, in their blocking the straits of Tiran (an important part of the run-up to the 67 war). | <urn:uuid:53eb9a3f-fb60-447f-850a-76f6a5ef03fd> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://satp.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html | 2018-02-22T05:14:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891814002.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20180222041853-20180222061853-00367.warc.gz | en | 0.960923 | 9,446 |

One of the greatest and most lasting landmarks in Harlem—Hell, the whole city!—will be lost Dec. 31 when the famous Lenox Lounge closes its doors.
Owner Alvin Reed, who brought the historic jazz boite back from the dead in 1988, declined to renew his leave when the landlord—guess what?—doubled the rent. Guess the greedy landlord saw the gleaming Red Rooster down the block and figured he should be getting richer than he was. Reed owns the rights to the name, so the new tenants will reopen it as the Notar Jazz Club. Richie Notar is the managing partner in the Nobu Restaurants group, will be taking over the space.
"If they want to use Lenox Lounge, they will have to negotiate with me," said Reed. "I brought it back and I want to see it stay there. I want to keep the legacy alive. I am Lenox Lounge, and I will be Lenox Lounge for quite some time. And if they want Lenox Lounge, they want me."
Every jazz great played Lenox back in the day. The interior is a living museum. I was there just a few months ago. Few spaces in New York can match the magic of that art deco interior. When a good combo is playing, and couples are chatting and drinking, the scene is classic cosmopolitan urbanity at its finest. It takes little effort to imagine life in New York during its post-WWII heyday. | <urn:uuid:e6506d3b-072f-42e2-9449-4a07f26a73fd> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://lostnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2012/12/another-great-one-gone-lenox-lounge-to.html | 2014-11-29T02:20:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931011477.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155651-00142-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958322 | 305 |
Producer's Notes: Big Break Regional Shoreline Science Hike
The water flowing past Big Break Regional Shoreline through the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers drains half of California's watershed, and creates the largest estuarine environment on Pacific shores.For our latest Science Hike, we visited Big Break Regional Shoreline in Oakley, California. This area is often referred to as the "Inland Coast." However, wishful thinking aside, the name Big Break has little to do with roaring surf. The name "Big Break" hearkens back to a levee failure in 1928, which allowed the San Joaquin River to reintroduce itself to part of its former range – right over an asparagus farm.
We once again enlisted the help of our colleagues at the East Bay Regional Parks District on this feature. They've collaborated with us twice before, on science hikes in Briones Regional Park and Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve.
We were welcomed at the gate by EBRPD Naturalist Mike Moran. Normally, we'd have rolled right on in to the parking lot, but the district has closed the parking area temporarily as part of a significant renovation, to include new trails and interpretive facilities. The lot should reopen sometime in November of this year (2010). Check the EBRPD website for closure updates if you are planning a visit. That said, don't be discouraged by the locked gate, even without the lot, the shoreline is still accessible through the foot path to the right of the main entrance.
Before we'd even unpacked our gear, Mike pointed out some raptors on the horizon, perhaps a quarter mile away. Some careful spotting through the binoculars revealed they were likely a pair of Swainson's Hawks. To my untrained eye, it might have appeared they were juvenile Red-tailed Hawks, but the different markings on the underside of the wings (e.g. lack of the black bars on the leading edge), plus the overall narrower profile of the wings themselves indicate otherwise. I've learned not to rely on the presence of a red tail, but Mike's keen eye helped me add this majestic buteo to my life list. What a way to start the day.
Other highlights? An amazing number of dragonflies and damselflies, including the Variegated Meadowhawk (Sympetrum corruptum). Stumbling upon a field of the understated but lovely yerba mansa plant (Anemopsis californica). Getting to see the marsh monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus), a close cousin to the sticky monkeyflower (Mimulus aurantiacus) so common in the drier areas of our region. And lastly, an encounter not with an actual bird, animal or plant, but with something they had left behind– Otter scat.
And there's much more that I can tell you in this short post – please go check out the science hike and let us know what you think. Even better, through our partnership with EveryTrail, you may take it with you in print or via your smartphone and let us know how it goes. | <urn:uuid:4691218a-1562-4492-97c0-c50844209eb9> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://science.kqed.org/quest/2010/08/30/producers-notes-big-break-regional-shoreline-science-hike/ | 2015-03-04T16:51:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463608.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00170-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.937599 | 646 |

The VGUTV staff share their opinions on if the Wii U is doomed or if there is hope for Nintendo's fans.
I'm just not sure about the future of the Wii-U. If Nintendo doesn't get their act together and put out some of that killer software that they're famous for, then the console is doomed I'd say. However I guess we need to wait until the Christmas season and see how the little box sells against the likes of the PS4. I predict a price cut to stay in the ballgame. If not, then it could be curtains.
Yup if it does poorly during the holiday, when there are plenty of games to help move units, then it is in trouble
wii-u is not doomed when you look at games like wonderful 101 coming out on sept 15th. The demo is fun as hell to play. Now i wouldnt mind a wii-u version of Doom though. Doom 3 or even doom 4 would be nice to have.
Look Nintendo are doing everything right,its just the industry and lets see if ps4 and xbox one do after their initial launch sales 1st,i do know Nintendo have more games that actually sell hardware then microsoft or sony ????
Wii U doesn't have to be number one sales wise to be successful
" Is the Wii U Doomed?" No. It had a bad stretch. Every console goes through that. They'll be fine.
Off course it's doomed! It's been doomed since 1889! /s
Yes the Wii U iz teh Doomz...lol i don't think it's doomed until Nintendo completely stops releasing games for it or the sales completely tank which is very unlikely.
It needs better third party support. And a unified account system. And better marketing.
Oh it's coming. Nintendo claimed that you would be able to purchase games from your phone/PC/tablet and the Wii U will download it automatically because it has a stand by mode just like PS4/Xbox One. Also that would mean a unified system account. A leak was also found out that the 3DS had the Wii U's eShop so probably, 3DS and Wii U accounts will also merge in the next system update this late September.
How many times have they asked this?
i think nintendo is living in a world of delusion they couldn't even outsell the current gen systems this last christmas what makes them think they will outsell the new gen systems this year, if i didn't have one of those systems i wouldn't have bought the wii-u. As a Nintendo fan I must say Nintendo failed with their Nintendo direct

Alex Neill, Which? Managing Director of Home Products and Services, said:
“This massive breach will cause real worry to millions of customers and raises serious questions about how Dixons Carphone has been looking after customers’ data – so it is critical that the company moves quickly to ensure those affected get clear information about what has happened and what steps they should take to protect themselves.

I have decided to rebarrel my .257 DGR to .308 as I have access to lots of Federal GMM and already have the rifle set up like I want it--Here's what I have:
27" Douglas Premium XX SS 1:12" twist barrel in the Remington Varmint contour and chambered in .257 DGR. It has been coated with Birdsong's Green "T" and has about 250 rds thru it.(exact rd count available--I'll have to look it up)It went thru a proper break-in and has been cleaned with a bore guide and Dewey rod at least every 20 rds.
Hornady Custom Dies in .257 DGR (FL sizer and Seater)
100 pieces of fireformed brass
100 pieces of virgin .260 Rem brass.
I'll take $200 shipped for the whole lot....This barrel can be rechambered to .25-06 or .25-284 if you wanted to, as either reamer will clean up the DGR chamber...
More info on the .257 DGR can be found here--- http://www.duanesguns.com/257.htm
Here is a pic of the barrel on my rifle--the rifle is NOT for sale...

they're really, really pathetic.
They dont have enough guts to join the demo tomorrow, and still want to be hero, super-hero in fact, so they chose to submit "their" memoradum to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong one day ahead of the anti-ISA rally.
These fellas made fools of themselves every step of the way.
They originally planned to march from a nearby building to the palace. Maklumlah, the route taken by the GMI group tomorrow is too long.
But they had to cancel plans for even that short walk on the advice of the police.
So they drove to the palace entrance instead.
Then they could not submit their memorandum as they had not informed their intention to the palace officials earlier.

The Irish artist Eva Rothschild is one of the most exciting protagonists of a generation of artists dealing with the expanded concept of sculpture. Her exhibition at Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane is her first solo museum exhibition in Ireland.
Eva Rothschild’s work engages complex processes of selfhood and identity in relationship to meaning and culture. The history of 20th-century abstract art is deconstructed through her installations, and through the materialism of her objects they become inquiries into how we as humans develop structures (both physical and metaphoric) to support our values.

kids hand print artwork
I wanted to capture my kids hands and personalities at this age in their lives. My oldest is almost 10 and my baby is 3 1/2… I realize there is limited time where they not only WANT to craft with mom but also that their cute hand prints would look good displayed on our wall. It’s like catching a moment in time, literally; their hands will never be this small again, (sniffle.) Take a peek at how they chose to transform a simple hand print into kids hand print artwork!
I grinned that mini-me 9 year old craft diva went for the detailed peacock, my rough ‘n tumble 7 year old jock chose the scary monster while his 5 year old sensitive animal loving brother created a squishy squid and their sweet baby sis captured the loveable giraffe.
Curious how I made these? We did a Sunday afternoon art project using pure white card stock and acrylic paint. I was really, really, really careful about my littles not getting paint anywhere else on the paper… I gave them a separate piece of paper to get their doodles out After the paint dried, we used a Sharpie marker to make the pictures come to life through the cute little details:
Although they’re not true to size (which is another fun option) I love the stage of these characters that my kids are into right now. Each one describes their individual personalities that will last for years to come.
When their projects were dry, I uploaded to Shutterfly’s site, selected a 12×12 canvas prints to print it on, positioned the hand prints and added it to my cart! Easy peasy. Promise! Visit 25 more Hand Print Ideas too!
Also, I’m sure you remember a sign or two displayed in your parents homes growing up and I want my kids to remember one growing up in my home that is both pretty and meaningful…
I am really liking the fun polka dot element mixed with the classy brushed nickel. It’s a fun mix of my eclectic personality but still a powerful saying.
Clearly I love me some aqua and mustard, visit more of my home decor ideas like my Colorful Farmhouse Family Room:

That is the neatest idea using hand prints to make that kind of art! I’ve been wanting to redecorate the kids room with some of their own art work, but they are 3 and 1 so it’s kind of hard to get their attention long enough to really do anything :p This gives me an idea to use their hand prints to great something for their room using super heros (since they LOVE them so much) Thanks for the idea! And this giveaway is amazing!

Oh I LOVE those handprints! I have 2 littles and we do a handprint on a 6X6 canvas each year on their birthday and their hanging up in the playroom as artwork. They would love turning them into animals like this and displaying them. Shutterfly being able to print them is awesome! Thanks for the idea!
Oh my goodness. I’ve already loved Shutterfly. This would just be a cherry on top. I would plan to decorate my livingroom, kitchen, and/or bathroom with all their cute stuff!

Do you live with chronic pain or functional limitations? Problems such as back, hip, or knee pain from surgeries or arthritis can all take a toll on your daily life. Normal activities such as walking up stairs, mowing the lawn, entering and exiting the shower, and walking around the block become tremendously difficult. Let alone trying to exercise!
So what are you supposed to do if your doctor tells you to start exercising? What’s the next step if you’ve finished rehab/physical therapy and they tell you to keep working out? Even if you have access to a gym, just traveling to the gym can be taxing and requires a mode of transport. The easiest home exercise plan to stick to is the one that takes place right there – at home.
There’s one piece of equipment that I’ve found to be very effective for almost anyone with some sort of chronic pain or functional limitation. It can be adapted to fit your specific needs and is ideal for any body size. And it’s not a $1000 treadmill or a $250 stationary bike! But it helps increase your endurance, strengthens your muscles, and builds up your heart. You not only are able to exercise with it but also can improve your stamina and become able to complete your activities of daily living (ADLS) with less difficulty and less breaks.
So what’s the one exercise tool that I recommend above all others for those with chronic pain or functional limitations? | <urn:uuid:de87e0ab-7462-468b-b367-81d2f6154f9a> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.contentwithcoffee.com/category/exercise/page/5/ | 2019-03-21T07:53:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202506.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20190321072128-20190321094128-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.950834 | 372 |
If any website can quite happily chug along by implementing an efficient off line strategy, utilising the likes of ppc and social media, is there any real need for SEO?
The answer to that is yes, of course. Even the very best offline strategies will never be capable of bringing all the targeted traffic you’d like to your website: without optimisation, your website will never be able to reach its full potential. But seo is such a broad, generic term that it’s often difficult to get your head around exactly what it is, let alone where to start. Well, I would suggest if you want to make just one small change that would add the greatest impact to your website, then you need look no further than building a good, dynamic title tag: they are unquestionably one of the most important determinants in search engine ranking.
So what is a title tag, and why is it so important? Well, it’s a basic HTML code snippet that appears in the blue bar at the top of your web page browser. It’s important because the words in the title tag are what appear in the clickable link on the search engine results pages (SERPs). There no limit to how long a title tag can be, but it’s worth noting that search engines only take note of the first 63 characters, so it’s best to use the words wisely and sparingly.
When any browser uses the internet to search for products or services, they type in specific words that will hopefully produce the results they’re looking for. Therefore, any title tag needs to have carefully chosen wording. You don’t necessarily need to have chosen ‘keywords’ in your title tag, but if often helps. Imagine you’re a browser searching the web for a specific product, wouldn’t you expect the ‘key’ word you’re looking for to be an essential part of the title tag? Well, yes you would but, even if you do include keywords in your title tag, that won’t guarantee that users will click on your link – it needs to speak to the user and generate interest.
How do you make your title tag stand out from the crowd if you’re all using the same keywords and search references?
That may sound tricky, but all that’s required is a little careful thought before you commit your title tag to the ether. Once again if you put yourself in the shoes of your browser, what would you look for, and what would attract your attention? If they type in a query like ‘how to be attractive’ the search query might throw up a couple of results: ‘how to look good and feel great’ and ‘how to look attractive when you really don’t feel like it.’ Which one do you think will get the greater number of clicks? That isn’t simply because it contains one of the keywords the searcher typed: it’s also because the second result title tag is more appealing and compelling.
So, assuming you’re happy with the wording of your title tag, is there anything you can do to ensure that they’re implemented effectively? Firstly, it’s worth remembering that each page on your website is unique, therefore each title tag for these pages should also be unique and distinguishable. The title tag should adequately describe the content of each page, so it’s well worth the trouble of going through your copy and customising each page title tag. Using the same tag for every page looks sloppy and will probably result in fewer clicks for your website.
By and large there are perfectly good reasons for including your business name in your title tag, but it isn’t by any means compulsory.
Sometimes business names are best omitted. If your company is a household name, then it’s probably wise to include it at the start of the title tag: however, if you’re trying to build a brand, then I would suggest you think carefully before including the name. Using your business name at the start of the tag is really best left to the big boys. If you put your business name at the end of the tag, the chances are it will be outside the 63 character limit and will be lost to the search engines anyway. If you’re trying to sell a product, then the 63 characters need to work as hard as possible to get your message across: there really isn’t any room for a business name, let alone a need.
Keywords, as we’ve seen, are important, but they’re not the be-all and end-all. Trying to stuff as many keywords into your title tag is counter-productive and uses some of the valuable characters that should be devoted to a full description of whatever product or service it is you’re offering. Title tags full of keywords may rank highly, assuming they get past the restrictions of the search engines that look unfavourably on this practise, but would such tags really tempt users to click on them? Title tags need to offer a sufficient description of the content to ensure they are likely to get targeted clicks. | <urn:uuid:7a63b70a-aed8-41bb-a9d0-7cee69abe410> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.searchandmore.co.uk/search-engine-optimisation/building-effective-title-tags/ | 2021-10-21T20:16:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585441.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021195527-20211021225527-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.932955 | 1,075 |

Portable, Instant Flashlight!
Are you looking for something, but can’t quite see it? If so, you must be in the dark. What you need is a flashlight, but what good is that knowledge when all you’re carrying is your Windows Phone 7 handset?
As it stands, there are dozens of mobile flashlight apps available on the Zune Marketplace, from standard torch apps that give your control of the LED flash on your camera phone to programmable Morse code messengers.
With such a wide variety of apps to choose from, it might prove tricky to track down the right sort of flashlight for the task at hand.
- slide 2 of 5
Basically, you use the app to shine a strobing coloured or white light that can be seen up to half a mile away, brilliant for if you’re waiting for roadside assistance or trying to stand out in a big crowd of people.
The developer of the app is planning some interesting updates, such as adding flashing shapes that might also help anyone using the tool.
- slide 3 of 5
Six lamp colours are available, but the real big feature is the programmable Morse messenger tool. All you need to do is enter your message; the correct Morse translation will appear and a small white box on the display will begin to flash the message out to your recipient. The Morse message can be stopped at any time and also displays the current character in English and Morse so that you can see how far through the message you’ve got.
Most importantly, Morse SOS features an option to disable the screen switching off as per the default idle setting, as well as speed settings that can be adjusted for amateur Morse readers.

If you’re using a HTC Windows Phone 7 device then you will have access to the HTC Hub, a small sub-Marketplace where you can download a handful of apps that aren’t available for other Windows Phone 7 models.
One of the best flashlight apps available can be downloaded from here. Simply called Flashlight, this app takes control of your camera LED flash to set it as a powerful torch with three power settings. Sound effects can be disabled to prolong battery life which is particularly useful when coupled with the pre-programmed SOS Morse message. Flashlight is free for HTC phone users.

Available for just 79p in the UK, Mood Light combines a colourful way to drop off to sleep with various presets such as a “romantic candle" or “relaxing" and like other apps it can be used to send an SOS Morse code message.
Also designed to be used as a standard flashlight, Mood Light sends a single or a rainbow spray of colour around your room. | <urn:uuid:708e8280-0edf-453c-85f1-9a8365e87107> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/windows-mobile-platform/articles/101052.aspx | 2018-01-21T03:00:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084889917.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180121021136-20180121041136-00730.warc.gz | en | 0.895606 | 571 |
I haven't seen the other comments around here you are referring to but I think you are overreacting taking it out on me. I've been actively posting all day until someone directly came at me for no reason. But seems like I'm taking some heat for something done elsewhere not by me. I won't insult him again because I like posting here. But I think threatening to ban me is going a bit far.
1. My first post was a general statement to both of you, not just you. And then you quoted me and threw another insult right after I said to stop insulting people.
2. I also didn't say I was going to flat out ban you. I gave you a verbal warning, said if it didn't stop it would be an infraction and anything further than that would be a ban.

What happens when you and your partner have different approaches toward money?
It’s a common scenario.
One partner seemingly knows where every earned dollar goes, while the other is a carefree spirit who thrives on spontaneous decisions and purchases. One partner loves fine dining and thinks nothing of blowing $200 on haute cuisine, while the other is happy with pizza and would rather spend that money on another pair of shoes. And on it goes.
Money is personal. We all have our own ideas of how we think about it, spend it, save it and try to earn it. But, when you’re sharing so much of your life with a partner, it’s inevitable that your individual approaches toward money will sometimes clash.
How do you bring up this loaded topic without it spiraling into a heated argument?
It's Wasatch Peaks to the rescue! Read on for the ultimate guide to discussing finances with your partner.
1. Dedicate a time
Let your partner know you’d like to talk about money and, together, choose a time and place that works for both of you. Make it a time when you both can completely focus on the topic without distractions. Allow up to an hour for this discussion.
2. Prepare your thoughts
There’s no need to rehearse what you want to say, but it is important to prepare a mental list of topics you’d like to discuss. Include the basics, like budgeting, saving and sharing living expenses, along with any specific issues that are bothering you or that you’d like to change.
3. Start with a vision
Don’t jumpstart the discussion with accusatory statements like: “Do you realize you bought seven pairs of shoes this month?” or even, “I think we should stop eating out so often.”
Instead, start with a vision or a goal. Here are a few to get you thinking:
Would you like to spend a month touring Europe?
Wouldn’t it be amazing to move out of this apartment and buy a home of our own?
I’d love to retire at 55. Would you?
I’ve always wanted to open my own business and be my own boss. Do you think that’s possible?
Talking about future goals will set a positive tone for your conversation before you get into the nitty-gritty details.
4. Attach monetary values to your goals
Now that you’ve shared your goals and dreams, you can start talking numbers. How much would it really cost to spend a month’s vacation in Europe? How much would we need to save for a house in our neighborhood?
5. Create a saving plan
You’ve got your numbers; now work out the plan!
Together with your partner, create a reasonable savings plan that will help you reach your shared goal. If you’re saving for a vacation, a house or any other dream, work out how much money you’d need to put away each month, and how long it would take to reach your goal.
6. Build a budget
You’re ready to turn that dream into a reality. But first, you and your partner may need to trim some of the spending. Here’s where you can gently discuss specific ways to cut back. Don’t point fingers; give your partner the chance to admit to their own shortcomings and be honest about your own vices.
Together, work out a monthly budget that accounts for all of your expenses and your new savings goal.
If you want to create a detailed budget, now’s a good time to get started. You’ll need to begin tracking all your expenses for the next three months so you have a clear idea of your expenditures and income.
You can easily create a budget using a personal finance app like Peaks Money Manager™ with your Wasatch Peaks Online Banking, or just do it the old fashioned way, using a pen and a paper.
Having a clear idea of where your money is going will make you a conscious spender and a bigger saver.
7. Discuss money management
If you aren’t already sharing some expenses, now’s the time to bring it up. There are no hard rules here; every couple has their own system. But, if you’re living together, it usually makes sense to split some basic costs, like rent and food supplies. You may want to go 50/50 on this or make another arrangement that better suits your individual incomes.
At this time, consider linking one of your accounts or opening a shared account at Wasatch Peaks. We’ve got convenient checking and saving accounts to suit every preference. Just stop by and ask how we can help.
However you choose to manage your joint finances, be sure to keep at least one credit card open in your own name. It’s important to establish your own credit history independent of your partner’s. Otherwise, qualifying for later loans can be challenging due to a limited personal credit history. At Wasatch Peaks, we have several credit card options that can also help you earn rewards while you spend!
8. Recognize your partner’s strengths
When dividing financial responsibilities, assign appropriate tasks that play to each partner’s strengths. Is your partner a stickler for dates and deadlines? Have them assume responsibility for paying the bills on time.
Are you a numbers freak? You might want to be in charge of managing your joint investments.
Is your partner the more thrifty shopper? Let them do the grocery shopping while you split the costs.
Congrats! You’ve made it through the big money talk without any major fireworks! Now go and make those dreams happen! | <urn:uuid:1bd63a59-63af-407b-925c-9243aa72967e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.wasatchpeaks.com/blog/how-to-talk-money-with-your-partner | 2022-08-16T17:12:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00657.warc.gz | en | 0.936546 | 1,213 |
I went to one of the big Greenberg Train Shows last Saturday at the Valley Forge Expo Center. A good show and I was separated from some of my money. Afterwards I always enjoy driving through the nearby Valley Forge Park. Especially with our unusually snowy winter one appreciates what they endured there in the 1777-78 encampment. Washington is quoted as saying ” . . . you might have tracked the army from White Marsh to Valley Forge by the blood of their feet.” Now, it’s a lovely place to visit, to hike, run, or to run your dog. The park has either a deer problem, or beautiful deer depending on your view.
Here were a couple running their dog. In the background, the 1953 National Patriots Bell Tower and Carillon, an outgrowth of work begun in 1926 and part of the Washington Memorial Chapel.
Winter and the snow silence the park. The cannon seem anomalous but silenced also. Here one has taken aim at the National Memorial Arch dedicated in 1917. I remember running down the hill in front of this arch during a grade school trip there……. | <urn:uuid:cdb0a6ed-9a47-4017-9a10-91a9f2e24990> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://bergiesplace.wordpress.com/2010/02/26/valley-forge-in-winter/ | 2019-04-20T05:15:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578528523.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20190420040932-20190420062932-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.957648 | 226 |
Solving Tomato Problems
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 1, 2009
Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in the United States, said a University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator.
"They are probably one of the easiest vegetables to grow, but no vegetable is problem proof," said Ron Wolford. "Here are some of the common tomato problems you may encounter during the growing season."
Fluctuating spring temperatures can be a problem for newly planted tomato transplants. To help get your tomatoes off to a good start, mulch tomato transplants with black plastic. Soil under plastic is around 10 degrees F warmer than uncovered soil. The mulch also conserves moisture and protects the tomatoes from diseases spread by water splashing onto the soil. Try red plastic mulch under tomatoes. Research has shown increased yields when tomatoes are grown with red plastic mulch.
"I get calls in late July from gardeners who have just-ripening tomatoes with a large black spot on the blossom end," he said. "They are afraid some terrible disease is going to wipe out their tomatoes. The problem is blossom-end rot and it is not a disease. The major cause of this condition is fluctuating levels of soil moisture during dry spells. So watering your plants consistently with one inch of water per week will keep this condition at bay. Using mulches will also help."
Tomato cracking occurs in some varieties when there is a lot of rain after a dry spell.
"Cracking occurs after the rains because the tomato absorbs so much water, causing the fruit wall to crack," he said. "These cracks are avenues for fungus and bacteria that can cause rot. Watering tomatoes consistently with one inch of water per week will alleviate this condition. Tomato varieties resistant to cracking include Burpee's Big Girl, Supersonic, Pink Girl and Sam Marzano."
Tomato blossom drop is very common with high summer temperatures. Tomatoes will drop blossoms when daytime temperatures in the summer are above 90 degrees F. Blossoms will also drop earlier in the growing season when night temperatures drop below 55 degrees F.
"There is really nothing you can do except to wait for cooler temperatures," said Wolford.
Sunburn is common on tomatoes that are exposed to sun on plants that have lost leaves because of disease or insect problems. The sunburned areas become tan to white, making the tomato susceptible to disease organisms. Control insects and disease to prevent leaf loss.
"During the summer I get calls from gardeners about leaves curling up on their tomato plants," he said. "This is not a disease. It is a physiological condition that happens after heavy rains. It occurs on the older leaves. Some tomato varieties are more susceptible to "leaf curl" than others."
"Catfacing" occurs on tomatoes exposed to cool night temperatures during flowering. Fruits are misshapen and have scars and holes on the blossom end. Older and large tomato varieties are more susceptible. The tomatoes are safe to eat.
White spots on the skin of the tomato are caused by the feeding habits of the stink bug. The bugs stick their syringe-like mouthparts into the tomato causing the damage.
"I also get calls from gardeners who cut open a tomato and find hard white areas inside the fruit," he related. "Warm temperatures during the ripening period cause this condition to develop. Just cut the affected areas out. Some varieties are more susceptible to this condition than others."
Wolford recommended checking tomato plants for signs of leaf spot diseases such as septoria leaf spot or early blight. The yellow or brown spots occur on the lower leaves first. Remove the infected leaves to prevent further spread. For control of tomato diseases, remove old tomato plant debris from the garden before planting, avoid wetting the foliage when watering and buy disease-resistant varieties.
Tomato hornworms are large, two-to three-inch-long, green caterpillars with white stripes on the body. A horn protrudes from the top rear end of the worm.
"Tomato hornworms feed on the leaves and fruit and can quickly strip a plant of leaves," he said. "Populations can vary from year to year. Some years, when populations are small and blend in well with the tomato foliage, you may not see them.
"Last summer, a couple of tomato plants planted in our Smart Home garden at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry were stripped of most of their foliage. We picked 40 hornworms off the plants."
Handpicking is the best and easiest control. If you see hornworms with small, white cocoons protruding, leave them alone. These cocoons are the pupae of parasitic insects that help control the hornworm population, and the worm with the cocoons is doomed.
The highest quality tomatoes develop when temperatures average 75 degrees F. Tomatoes may get mushy and not ripen well when temperatures are above 90 degrees F. During hot weather, pick tomatoes when they have a pink color and let them ripen indoors. This practice will also save the tomatoes from squirrels who like to take a bite out of ripe ones.
To ripen tomatoes, place them in a paper bag, stem end up. Punch several holes all around the bag and fold the top over. The bag will help to keep some of the natural ethylene gas in place, which aids in the ripening process. Depending on how underripe they are, tomatoes may take one to five days to ripen. Check them daily. You can also wrap individual tomatoes in newspaper for ripening.
"Do not store ripe tomatoes in the refrigerator," he cautioned. "Flavor and texture begin to deteriorate when the temperature drops below 54 degrees F. Temperatures above 80 degrees F cause tomatoes to spoil quickly. Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature for two to three days, away from direct sunlight until ready to use."

Hi, remember me. My name is Fergus. These past few weeks my master has been sooo busy I have to remind her to take me out around the yard for walks.
Here I am with Max my best buddy.
You can usually find me under my masters sewing table keeping a close eye on things.
Well yesterday she was busy sewing hmmmmmmmmmm, so I thought I would check out this bag that was on the floor. She didn't even notice but I took off with something sweet... Oh No she caught me , but I just about finished it all. A sugar stick. You know the kind they stir tea and coffee with. She seemed upset with me. She shouldn't of had them on the floor for me to get at.
So I ventured around the GKDS playroom and there is this hammer I always see Alex playing with. Must try it out. OH OH got caught , but not after I took a few bites out of it. Scolded again.
Maybe now she will put down her sewing and go out side.
So here we are outside, in our front yard. just a few apples left on the tree. The garage is finished. You know it used to be a horse stable. But my masters changed it into a garage to hold our old vehicles. Like the star on the side? The new driveway looks pretty kool too. I have been told not to go near the road.
Here we are running in the back and there is that other building that they were working on. I think they called it a shed. Look at that horse on top. COOOOOOL.
Darn I thought I could see it.
Well here we are back in the house doing my favourite, barking at the people going by.
See you soon, | <urn:uuid:e56999ae-a26a-4332-9245-05d7b7ba1eb3> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://lavenderridge.blogspot.com/2010/11/remeber-me.html | 2016-05-30T10:39:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464050960463.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524004920-00105-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989035 | 376 |

Or Get More Information about Self Publishing Made Easy
One of the best ways to market and promote books is by utilizing free content and previews on your blog. This content gives potential readers a preview of your writing style, photography, and the types of recipes your book has. There are many ways to implement free content and previews. You can also use any of these methods with other blogs to help spread your content through your blogging network.
Posting existing recipes on your blog is a great way to drive up interest in your book. Any recipes in your book that have nice pictures and are creative, fun, or tasty are great candidates to share. These posts can be part of your normal blogging structure or added as special posts.
Highlighting the best recipes from your book on your blog has several benefits. Showcasing the best work from your cookbook drives interest for potential readers. Adding these posts to your blog helps increase the content and quality of the material on your blog.
To alert readers where the posts came from it is helpful to call out your book multiple times in the recipe post. Here's an example callout:
If you like this recipe you can get it and more than 100 other recipes that will help you create remarkable cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and small plates that will amaze your friends. It's all in my book Modernist Cooking Made Easy: Party Foods - Get Your Copy Today!
Callouts like these will help drive people who are interested in content like this to the sales page for your book. From there you can give them more information and complete the sale.
You can also provide PDFs of recipes for people to download. This has the benefit of being able to show the formatting of your book. Here are two examples for Monkfish in Dashi with Spring Vegetables and Flank Steak with Argentinian Chimichurri. You can also require users to provide an email address to download the PDFs, increasing your newsletter mailing list.
Similar to the recipe posts, informational posts are a great way to highlight the best content from your cookbook. Picking parts of your book that will really resonate with readers and/or hits good Google keywords is ideal for successful informational posts. Including callouts in the posts will lead interested users to the sales page for your book.
Chapter previews are similar to the sample recipe PDF downloads. They are PDF snapshots of certain chapters in your book. Often the first few chapters are good to use because they provide an overview of what the book is about without giving away too much information. You can see an example of a Sample Sous Vide Chapter.
Placing ads and alerts for your books in the sample PDF is a great way to let people who like the sample buy your actual book. You can also require users to provide an email address to download the PDFs, increasing your newsletter mailing list.
Another way to showcase the content in your books and drive potential readers is by posting photo galleries of all the images in your book. This is especially helpful if you publish in black and white, as it allows you to provide full-color images to people that have already purchased a copy. | <urn:uuid:d810553d-0f8d-439f-bd88-a414f81e7814> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.selfpublishacookbook.com/info/how-to-promote-a-cookbook/more/free-content-and-previews-on-your-blog | 2023-09-22T01:59:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506320.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922002008-20230922032008-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.941712 | 752 |
In my life, this phenomenon is occurring for the second time, and not a moment too soon. For the past few months, I’ve been investigating, in my own words, a new way of going. I won’t divulge the name of this “new way” because I’m still in the investigative stage. I can report, however, this new way has filled me with hope and a renewed sense of adventure.
This feeling is not merely the initial burst of inspiration that comes at the beginning of a new project or program of study. It seems to come from a much deeper place, as confirmed by my research.
For a while there, the only objects I could see on the horizon were old age and sickness. This bleak view originated from nagging feelings of emptiness and lack of purpose. I had lost what the robots in the movie “The Transformers” refer to as their “Prime Directive.”
For many years, I have been on a path that I assumed would eventually lead to “Self-Realization.” It became increasingly clear to me that the path I was on was never going to get me where I wanted to go. I had lost touch with my Prime Directive. I felt alone, abandoned, and a failure. During this time, I experimented with a number of groups and teachers. There are hundreds of new age spiritual groups here in South Florida. Most of them seemed ridiculous to me. A few resonated with me. I made the effort to try the ones that spoke to my heart.
Self-Realization is a somewhat bulky term that many people might think of as an impossible goal set by foolish, pompous, self-deluded people who refuse to face life. Without doubt, the path to this goal is fraught with danger and pitfalls. The good news is that, according to what I’ve been reading, there is a distinct shift underway in the “achievability” of this goal. The goal is no longer reserved for saints, mystics, and yogis who go to extreme lengths to “awaken.” Today, the goal is available to ordinary people, like me, who lead ordinary, worldly lives.
What is truly remarkable is that dozens of people walking this “new way of going” have already awakened. I have met one such person. I recently read a book written by another person who is now a senior teacher of this way. I found her book both interesting and convincing.
“Self-Realization” or “Awakening,” if you are not familiar with the process, involves the discovery of the divine within, or infinite consciousness. Words cannot adequately describe the awakening experience. One way to approximate it is the uncovering of the essential YOU, not temporarily, but permanently, or at least as long as YOU are in the body. This new teaching I am investigating does not require the practitioner to deny his or her human nature or personality traits. It is a path of self-acceptance. Ultimately, this method facilitates a harmonious coexistence and integration with the individual ego identity.
Certainly, no worthwhile goal is easy to achieve. This way requires work, sincerity and persistence, like anything else. The payoff, however, is a deep sense of happiness, peace, love, and well-being. I’m feeling the first faint rays of this inner sun already.
I’ll be going to Atlanta at the beginning of February for a two-day intensive. I guess you could call it the acid test. Hopefully, I’ll have positive news to bring back.
My father once said to me, “Son, don’t kid yourself. You’re going the way of all flesh.” Well Dad, my body may be going that way, but not me. I will not go quietly into that dark night. | <urn:uuid:ba8d7eae-c6ca-49ca-9195-6f91cfef3856> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://davidgittlin.net/2014/01/20/a-new-way-of-going/ | 2021-10-28T08:48:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588282.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028065732-20211028095732-00344.warc.gz | en | 0.978617 | 806 |
- 6 in 2003
- Callout — Lost
- Scafell Pike
- Other Agencies
- Keswick MRT, RAF Boulmer, RAF Leeming MRT, RAF Valley
The Wasdale team leader was called by Keswick MRT to assist with the rescue of two female walkers who were lost, most probably in the corridor area on their way to Scafell Pike. There car was parked at Seathwaite. One of the ladies was reported to have a broken leg. A search through the night until dawn proved unsuccessful even with a number of SARDA dogs and three rescue teams. The search was continued at 0700hrs the following morning with assistance from an additional four rescue teams including the RAF MRT from Leeming, North Yorkshire. Sea King helicopters were brought in from both RAF Valley and RAF Boulmer. The missing persons were spotted early afternoon making their way very slowly towards the bottom of Eskdale by the RAF Boulmer helicopter . They were both suffering from mild hypothermia, one had an injured ankle.
Having left Seathwaite at midday, they had become disorientated in the low cloud on the way up to Scafell Pike in the Esk Hause area. It would appear that they made their way down the stream bed into upper Eskdale where they both slipped on snow, one injuring her hip, the other her leg and arm. The weather conditions were very poor with heavy rain and high winds so they had sheltered. Over 140 MRT rescuers were involved throughout the incident including search dogs and the two helicopters. The two ladies were flown back to Seathwaite and then onto Carlisle Hospital.
Incident started at 18:15. | <urn:uuid:bcb7f0e2-4c56-418d-9b1a-4af831c446a8> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.wmrt.org.uk/incidents/2003-rescue-11/ | 2021-04-22T16:11:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039594341.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210422160833-20210422190833-00627.warc.gz | en | 0.987123 | 351 |
What is Dynamic Routing?
Dynamic Routing is a network routing procedure that facilitates the routers to pick and choose the routing paths depending on the network structure’s logical changes in real-time. This is opposite to the typical traditional static network routing. This is an automated routing technique that requires very less administration and supervision. Various protocols used in this routing method are Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP).
What Can You Do With Dynamic Routing?
Dynamic routing protocol working is explained as under :
- The router first delivers and then receives routing messages over the router interface.
- Dynamic Router messages also share the information with different routers that make use of the very same protocol.
- Routers would then swap their routing information in order to discover the data regarding remote networks.
- When soever the router finds a change in the topology, routing protocol advertises that particular topology change to all other routers.
Dynamic routing is considered easy to configure on large networks, and also, it is more intuitive than static routing at a selection of the best route, detection of the route changes, and also a discovery of the remote networks.
But, since the routers always share updates, they always consume bandwidth more than it consumes in static routing. The router’s CPUs, as well as RAM, also face loads that are added as a result of protocols of routing. At last, dynamic routing is considered to be less secure than static routing.
Advantages of Dynamic Routing
Below are mentioned the advantages:
- Dynamic Routing involves more automation in the way that routing gets automatically sent to all of the other routers.
- Dynamic Routing also involves a change of notification in the way that the dynamic routing protocol has got the ability to reroute the traffic around the link, which is congested.
- Dynamic Routing involves higher uptime for the users since the routing protocol has got intelligence, and it can also react much faster; therefore, users can see higher uptime.
- Dynamic Routing also deals with greater throughput of the network since the routing protocol has the ability to calculate the most responsive network link to make use of, also users see less latency and more performance in the network.
- Dynamic Routing involves much less work for administrators as, and when the network grows, the administrator needs not to worry regarding the configuration of other routers on a network. Rather, the administrator would configure the dynamic routing protocol on a new router to talk to those routers and make them aware of the new router’s networks.
Dynamic Routing Protocols
There exist many interior gateway routing protocols, that is, IGP. These are the protocols that could be used within the network. These protocols are supported by every router and operating system of the server like Windows 2003 Server or Linux. Some of the protocols are explained as under :
1. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
It is a very famous dynamic routing protocol that is being used in today’s world. OSPF is also an open protocol to ensure that any router or even server operating system can run this protocol. It selects the best route by making use of cost as its metric. It is also considered a complete-featured routing protocol, and also it can be complex; however, it can also scale to any size in the network.
2. EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)
It is considered a proprietary protocol for Cisco. Just for your information, just the Cisco devices make use of EIGRP. It is a completed-featured protocol, just like OSPF. It has some amazing features, but until you make sure that you are going to have a Cisco network, the use of open protocol (OSPF) is recommended. EIGRP has replaced IGRP, which was its predecessor. The metric that is needed to select the best route through EIGRP is calculated using a formula that takes into account bandwidth, reliability, delay of the link, and load.
3. RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
RIP is considered an open-source protocol. Version 2 is the latest one that you should be using today since it provides VLSM, that is, Variable Length Subnet Mask support. It is the simplest and easiest protocol of routing to configure, although it also has got lesser features than OSPF. It is restricted to routing for the network having less than 15 hops. This protocol works quite well for a small network that doesn’t think of expanding largely. Another great feature about it is that the smallest routers and firewalls generally support it.
4. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
BGP is considered the routing protocol of the Internet. It is also Exterior Gateway Protocol, that is, EGP which means that BGP is used by routers making decisions of routing on the Internet. If your home has a connection to the Internet, you don’t really need BGP or even need to run it. In case the router has got more than one dedicated connection, you might require running. It is a path-vector protocol that implies that it can select the best route compared to other routing protocols. BGP uses the “AS-PATH” as the routing metric and also selects the route that has got the shortest path through the entire Internet.
Thus, we can conclude that the routing protocols are just a set of languages that the router uses to communicate the routing information along with other routers. The main benefit of using routing protocol is its ability to get adapted to changing the network topology.

The new jerseys for the 2018 Tour de Yorkshire and Asda Tour de Yorkshire Women’s Race have been unveiled by organisers Welcome to Yorkshire and ASO.
Yorkshire Bank and Yorkshire Bank Bike Libraries will make their first appearance as sponsors of the coveted blue jersey which is awarded to the daily leader and overall winner of both races, and Asda will sponsor the green Best Sprinter jersey for the very first time in both events.
Perhaps the most striking change sees the jersey for the Best Climber Classification – which is sponsored in both races by Virgin Trains – switch from pink to red to ensure it really stands out in the peloton.
For the first time as well, a grey Digital Jersey – sponsored by Dimension Data – is being introduced to women’s race and will be awarded to the most active rider of the day. In 2015 the men’s race became the first cycling event on earth to award a jersey based on a live, in-race public vote. Viewers of both races will now be able to reward who they think has most enlivened the action before the end of each stage by submitting their votes on the official Tour de Yorkshire Twitter page @letouryorkshire
British sportswear company Milltag will make their return as jersey suppliers for the Asda Tour de Yorkshire Women’s Race, while Le Coq Sportif will continue to produce the official men’s jersey for the fourth year in a row.
Welcome to Yorkshire Chief Executive Sir Gary Verity said:
“It’s always exciting to see the official race jerseys unveiled and this year’s designs are very stylish and eye-catching. I’ve always enjoyed the fact that cycling honours its star performers in such a visual way and that they are rewarded for their efforts.
“We’re grateful to the suppliers and sponsors who allow us to award these jerseys and I look forward to seeing pride on the riders’ faces next month when they receive these prized possessions on the podium.”

Most of the anger we see today is not right, just, or benign. It’s toxic and produces significant damage. It injects toxins into marriages, friendships, and other relationships. Toxic anger increases risk of depression or physical violence, raises blood pressure, impairs the immune system, and increases likelihood of arterial and heart problems.
When I was much younger, I used to have toxic anger problem. And I realized that much of that anger was selfishness. I got angry because I wanted people and the world around me to be ordered according to my wishes. So, when I can’t have it my way, I’d throw an immature, spoiled, childish act: shout, pout, say negative words, throw a tantrum, get physical, or start getting even. Part of my healing was to deal with that part of me that produces toxic anger and response to realities in destructive ways.
People who don’t care don’t bother to heal from their toxic anger. Most of us, however, would like to heal from this and stop it in destroying our selves and our relationships. But usually we have no or little understanding why we have it, how to control it, or keep it from doing continuing damage. So the beginning of cure is to explore it inside us and see what can be done about it. | <urn:uuid:ce310aaf-ba99-48e0-8d36-39e95e3d416a> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://drsubida.net/2014/02/03/toxic-anger/ | 2020-10-28T14:49:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107898577.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20201028132718-20201028162718-00239.warc.gz | en | 0.956084 | 277 |
I found some extra photos of you today, that weren’t in the first batch which I copied to your brother David and your friend Dave.
These were from our holiday in Austria, two or three years ago. There are lots of really nice ones. Including ones that capture moments I have thought back on since this happened – you sitting in our hotel room watching football (maybe it was something significant like the World Cup), you sitting in the lovely little seat we used to have for meals, where we were so pleased with the quality of what we were served every night.
But the main thing which has struck me is that in no way do you look anything like old! You are clearly middle aged only. You do not look like an old man. You were never old, you were definitely taken well before your time.
You used to worry about your hair going grey and falling out, but as I always used to say to you, on both counts you were very lucky. The colour was only just beginning to go, it was slightly becoming ‘salt and pepper’ with some grey hairs at the temples, but as I always used to reassure you, in general it still definitely looked dark/black, rather than grey. And you were only slightly receding at the front, with just a little (sweet) hole on the top/back of your head. No-where near balding, darling. You were lucky.
But much good it has done you, as now you are gone entirely.
As well as not being old, you don’t look that large at all. You look very medium in size, a little bit of a tummy, but not that broad. In the more recent photos, like in Venice, you do look bigger. But in Austria, well no way do you look bigger front to back than I look now!
So I cannot see that you died ‘naturally’, at the end of a natural life span.
I would say there were three elements to why you died:
- Health: I acknowledge you had got quite large, and on top of the fact you had been told about ‘Heart Failure’ (which we clearly didn’t take seriously enough), your weight and unfitness had obviously had more of an effect than we’d realised on your heart.
- Job: I think you were particularly stressed about things going on at work, including the imminent restructuring, and the pressure you were being put under, and your concerns about your appraisal. I think this was a significant contributing factor.
- Hospital: Once you were trapped in the net that is Intensive Care, with one thing after another going wrong and pulling you downhill – well, you weren’t able to battle your way out of it.
But as people have put in some of the sympathy cards, it was definitely ‘too soon’.
You died a middle aged man, not an old man.
You were only in the late summer of your life, not even autumn, no-where near winter. | <urn:uuid:9bf53b81-9e5d-4e4d-b0c4-22494300a716> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://cathypenman.com/austria/ | 2018-09-23T22:36:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159820.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923212605-20180923233005-00414.warc.gz | en | 0.993249 | 631 |

This protection is especially important during active water-based recreations: sea or lake swimming, visiting of swimming pool or water parks, bathing or showering. In addition, the plaster will be useful during cleaning, clothes and dishes washing. The plaster elasticity allows its application on any skin area, while its transparency ensures the invisible protection.
Milplast Aquastop can be removed easily and painlessly, without remains on the skin.
- Transparent polymeric material;
- Acrylic adhesive, which reliably fastens plaster and prevents its slipping;
- Sorptive pad with protective mesh preventing wound adhesion.
All materials used for plaster manufacturing have hypoallergenic properties.
1. Remove contaminations and liquids from the wound and surrounding skin.
2. Open plaster package, remove protective paper strips and tightly fasten the plaster on the damaged area.
3. Remove blue protective film.
For external use only! Do not leave plaster on the skin over 24 hours.
Idiosyncrasy to materials.
Hypoallergenicity of materials reduces probability of hypersensitivity reactions, but does not exclude their occurrence. | <urn:uuid:eb6d3f3c-7484-4f0a-8f00-4f8285aa1488> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://milplast.co.uk/milplast-aquastop/ | 2021-01-21T04:28:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703522242.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20210121035242-20210121065242-00376.warc.gz | en | 0.901577 | 254 |
Ataman M2R Airgun Review
In this episode of American Airgunner, Rossi is reviewing the Ataman M2R airgun collection manufactured out of Russia. The Ataman airgun is of good quality and is a competitor in the higher end market of airgun brands. Their M2 air rifle platform is something that airgunners are drawn to because of its ability to be customized. It has quite a few options for caliber and stock configurations. Ataman airguns are known for their accuracy, reliability, and ease of maintenance. During this episode, Rossi is testing and comparing the power, foot-pounds, and shot count between the .357 M2R Tact Carbine Type 4 Air Rifle and .30 caliber M2R Tact Carbine Type 4 Compact Air Rifle. | <urn:uuid:c1ffd566-3f0b-4849-be07-db151b412b59> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://americanairgunner.com/ataman-airgun-review-american-airgunner-tv/ | 2022-12-06T19:39:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711114.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20221206192947-20221206222947-00704.warc.gz | en | 0.959842 | 160 |

If you’re attending a baseball game or other event at Nationals Park, get to the neighborhood early and check out some of the local restaurants. These are some of our favorite places to eat near Nationals Park.
If you are a craft beer lover, then a trip to Bluejacket is virtually mandatory. Bluejacket is a very cool urban brewery, where beers are brewed on-site and you can taste about 20 of them on tap at any given time. They always have a few cask ales as well. The beers rotate seasonally. So, if you come here at the beginning of the baseball season, you will be able to try different beers than when you come at the end of the season. There is also a really nice outdoor patio. On a game day. you can smell the sausages and burgers cooking on the grill from blocks away.
Bonchon is a Korean style fried chicken restaurant. With all of their chicken dishes you get to choose spicy, soy garlic, or half-and-half. In addition to wings they’ve got chicken strips, chicken drumsticks, and a full menu of Korean dishes that don’t even have much to do with chicken. On game days, the kitchen stays open late, which is usually plenty of time for a post-game snack.
This is actually the farthest walk from the ballpark, but it’s worth it. The Brig calls itself DC’s “secret beer garden” because it is the neighborhood’s best-kept secret. It’s located a block north of the 8th Street gate of the Washington Navy Yard. They rotate about 20 beers on tap with a mix of German and American breweries, including some local options DC. If you have kids with you, it’s worth noting that they do advertise being family-friendly.
Of all the places to eat near Nationals Park, Big Stick is the true baseball bar. When you walk in the door you’ll see their logo of Teddy Roosevelt swinging a sausage like a baseball bat. Their signature dish is, of course, sausage. There is plenty of Washington Nationals memorabilia on the walls. In the back corner is an F.P. Santangelo Montreal Expos jersey, which is relevant because he’s currently the color commentator for the Nationals. This can sometimes be seen at places like the Big Stick. So while it is pretty rare to see an actual player out in the neighborhood, it is not that uncommon to see coaches, announcers or other staff at a place.
Due South Dockside and Nicoletta
These aren’t full service restaurants but rather boardwalk spots near the Anacostia River. They are located right under the Yards Park Bridge. Yards Park is a cool place to hang out, and these are great additions.
Note: the video refers to Piccolo which has since re-branded as Nicoletta.
Justin’s cafe is mentioned in the video but unfortunately it closed in October 2018.

This project is significant in various ways because in today's world, everyday many lives are affected because the patients are not timely and properly operated. Also for real time parameter values are not efficiently measured in clinic as well as in hospitals.Sometimes it becomes difficult for hospitals to frequently check patient’s conditions. Also continuous monitoring of ICU patients is very difficult. To deal with these types of situations, our system is beneficial. Our system is designed to be used in hospitals and homes also for measuring and monitoring various parameters like temperature, ECG, heart rate, blood pressure. The results can be recorded using Arduino. Also the doctors can see those results on android app. The system will also generate an alert notification which will be sent to doctor. Our system is useful for monitoring health system of every person through easily attach the device and record it. In which we can analysis patient’s condition through their past data, we will recommend medicines if any emergency occurred through symbolic A.I.
First of all we have to make Communication between Arduino and android app using Bluetooth. for the android code for this communication kindly follow the link below
now after establishing the communication successfully start creating android app using android studio and use the code from above link after this send some data to arduino in our scenario we have 4 module so we have 16 combination like patient want only temperature data or ecg, Blood pressure or temperature and ecg etc. so for these 16 combination we use hexa table which stars from 0 and ends at 'F' so after reading the incoming value arduino decide which type of data user wants. After that arduino start reading that data from sensors and transfer that data to arduino using HC05 and android receive that data and send to firebase which is real time database below is the structure of firebase database
1 / 2 • Structure for doctor
this is the complete architecture of our project.
I hope you enjoy this project | <urn:uuid:ddbf269a-d0c2-43d3-8464-348eadf9519e> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.raspberrypi.hackster.io/156471/smart-health-care-monitoring-system-based-on-iot-f559b3 | 2020-04-05T05:15:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370528224.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200405022138-20200405052138-00408.warc.gz | en | 0.913815 | 391 |

Release Year: 2020
Cast: Argos , Max Sargent
Video language: English
Young Argos’ stepdad has always been a hard worker, but all work and no play can be stressful on the body. Today, that guy asks his chap for a neck massage to ease the tension, and the little lad couldn’t be happier. He rubs his stepdad’s neck and shoulders until the old guy muscles loosen up. All the during the time that, his pop works his hand up the boy’s leg. Finally, the raunchy tension explodes into a loving oral pleasure. The lad swirls his tongue around the head of his pop’s huge knob and widens his cheeks to let his old guy bareback his taut aperture. He pounds the kid’s bubble wazoo in advance of blowing a load all over his balls. Looks like he’s showing up to work with a magical glow the next day!

I would not say that, I guess it was working at the time when it was merged -
I also got the DSP_A mode working with 'incorrect' mcbsp code and
But it does not really matter, how and when this DSP_B mode got into the wrong
Now it is correct for both DSP_A and DSP_B modes, we need to keep it that way
for the time being ;)
I would say that at least Jarkko's two patches should go as soon as possible
to avoid further confusions regarding to DSP_B mode.

Writing on Facebook can result in being locked up if you are a Palestinian citizen of Israel.
That became clear in mid-October when 19-year-old Anas Khateeb was arrested and charged with incitement over three comments he had posted on the social media website. The comments read: “Jerusalem is Arab,” “long live the intifada” and “I am on the waiting list.”
In the past week, a magistrate’s court in Akka (Acre) — a city in present-day Israel — extended his detention until 26 November.
His treatment is being perceived as an attack on the right to free expression by Palestinians. The charge of incitement is viewed as absurd. None of the three posts explicitly called for violence.
And none of them received more than 70 “likes,” indicating that Khateeb was unlikely to foment unrest on any significant scale. Under Israeli law, incitement only occurs if there is a strong possibility that a speech or text will encourage acts of violence.
Khateeb’s arrest has been part of a wider crackdown on Palestinians living in present-day Israel, where they make up about 20 percent of the population.
Adalah, a human rights group, has calculated that approximately 100 Palestinian activists were arrested in Israel within the space of a week in early October. In most cases, requests by police to extend the detention of these activists were approved by courts.
The courts have ignored evidence that police violently suppress political protests, according to Adalah. The organization also accuses the Israeli forces of abusing their powers and has documented how Palestinian activists have been arrested for organizing an “unlawful gathering,” even though there is no such offense in Israeli law.
Police who overstep their powers are seldom punished.
“This impunity has not only allowed the police to avoid accountability, but has essentially encouraged them to view their brutality as legitimate,” said Amjad Iraqi, an Adalah campaigner.
Strategy of persecution
Monitoring of online activity by Palestinians is undertaken by both the authorities and by employers.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel finds that that Palestinians are being dismissed from jobs because of comments they have made. Employers are checking what Palestinian workers write on Facebook and giving the names of young workers to the police, it has been reported.
“The persecution of Palestinian citizens of Israel has been a strategy of the State of Israel for years,” said Khulud Khamis, a feminist campaigner and writer based in Haifa. “It is only changing form, and spreading to the medium of social media.”
“I think those people who publicly voice their opinions do so knowing the risks entailed,” she added. “Others keep silent for precisely the same reason.”
The Israeli authorities are seeking to depict a wide variety of comments relating to protests as incitement, according to Nashif.
“A girl from Haifa was arrested because she wrote ‘take an onion with you’ on Facebook,” he said. “The Israeli authorities said that this meant that she was preparing for tear gas to be used.”
“It is ridiculous, they will try to find anything they can [to persecute people],” he added.
While a number of Palestinians have been jailed for their online activities in the recent past, Israel appears to be intensifying its surveillance and repression both on the Internet and on the streets in response to mass protests.
A young Nazareth woman was recently placed under administrative detention — detention without charge or trial — after stating in a text message that she wished to become a “martyr.” Although administrative detention has been widely practiced against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, this is the first case in a decade of it being used against a Palestinian citizen of Israel, according to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.
“Israel is trying to keep things under control; they always panic at a potential uprising,” Nashif said. “They are taking a harsh attitude with Palestinian citizens in order to keep us quiet while they are busy in the West Bank. Things that are acceptable in normal times are not anymore.”
Nashif noted that different standards are being applied to Israeli Jews than to Palestinians.
In October, Reuven Rivlin, Israel’s president, promised he would never release Yigal Amir, who assassinatedYitzhak Rabin, Israel’s prime minister, in 1995. In response, Hagai Amir, Yigal’s brother, wrote on Facebook that Rivlin was a “kiss-up politician” who “must pass from the Earth.”
Hagai Amir was detained for one day, before being released and placed under five days’ house arrest.
By contrast, “Anas Khateeb did not make any specifically violent comments and his detention has been extended,” Nashif said. “It is completely unjustified.”
Racism at the top
Israel’s ruling coalition contains a number of ministers who have made racist and arguably genocidal remarks about Palestinians. The best known example is that of Ayelet Shaked, now Israel’s justice minister.
During Israel’s 2014 attack on Gaza, she claimed that all Palestinians are “enemy combatants” and advocated the killing of Palestinian mothers while calling their offspring “little snakes.”
Unlike Khateeb’s posts, Shaked’s Facebook comments received thousands of “likes.”
Adalah has complained to Israel’s attorney general about the incitement by Israeli public figures. But no action has been taken.
And during the summer, Adalah complained about how Bentzi Gopstein, director-general of the Israeli far-right group Lehava, had stated publicly that he supported the burning of churches. Adalah contended that his remarks amounted to a call for violence against Palestinian Christians.
“There are lots of racist posts and comments in the Hebrew social media, but they only arrest Arabs,” said Rani Khoury, a Palestinian living in Nazareth.
“Israel does not want Arabs to think politically,” Khoury said. “They want us to be more Israeli. They have been scaring us like this since 1948.” | <urn:uuid:1d6d3614-81f1-4446-86cf-dc12eee08b6b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://aliaalghussain.wordpress.com/2015/11/04/israel-jails-teen-for-intifada-facebook-post/ | 2017-10-22T08:21:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825154.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022075310-20171022095310-00457.warc.gz | en | 0.970541 | 1,343 |
I've been looking for details on this, but I really want to buy Mindstorms EV3
, but my question is about the brick and programming etc. I've seen this site on mindstorms http://www.squidoo.com/your-own-robot-w ... storms-ev3
and looks cool, but how easy is it to do the programming side of it?
I'm not a total fool on the computer, but with actually getting the robots to do stuff, is it easy enough for a total newbie like me to do?
I'm completely fine with the building side of it, it's just this that worries me.

Jefferson County Public Health Service confirmed a feral cat in the city of Watertown tested positive for rabies Monday.
The cat was the fourth animal in the county that tested positive for rabies since May 21. The first three incidents involved raccoons in the towns of Worth, Adams and LeRay.
The Public Health Service is encouraging anyone bitten by the orange tabby cat, which was near the East Hills housing complex, off Eastern Boulevard, to call the agency at 786-3720.

Scope of Practice
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCSs) are professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance. They conduct sport-specific testing sessions, design and implement safe and effective strength training and conditioning programs and provide guidance regarding nutrition and injury prevention. Recognizing that their area of expertise is separate and distinct, CSCSs consult with and refer athletes to other professionals when appropriate.
The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) program was created in 1985 to identify individuals who possess the knowledge and skills to design and implement safe and effective strength and conditioning programs for athletes in a team setting. The credentialing program encourages a higher level of competence among practitioners and raises the quality of strength training and conditioning programs provided by those who are CSCS certified.
Today, more than 21,000 professionals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds hold this prestigious credential. This diverse group includes strength coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, personal trainers, physicians, chiropractors, researchers and educators. The CSCS is the only strength training and conditioning certification to be nationally accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and has been nationally accredited since 1993.
at least a bachelor's degree (BS/BA) or chiropractic medicine degree granted by an accredited institution.

We returned to the topic of Restorative Practice this week and spoke to David Lisowski about his experience of implementing the approach in different settings.
David’s first role was as a member of Special Needs Support Staff and then his first teaching post was at Sidney Stringer Academy in Coventry, UK, as an SEN teacher. After teaching elsewhere, he returned to Sidney Stringer Academy as Head of Learning Support responsible for behaviour and rewards. This is where he feels he found ‘his niche’. David is now working for one year as headteacher at Riverbank School, part of the Sindney Stringer Multi-Academy Trust.
Sidney Stringer Academy is a school for 11 – 18 year-olds in a deprived area of the UK and has 1,300 students. The school is recognised for the amount of progress children make, often from a low baseline and they are involved in offering training programmes to other schools.
What drew David to the concepts of Restorative Practice?
When David looked at the systems which were in place, it was clear they were primarily punitive and were working for 95% of the students. So it was time to concentrate on that 5%.
After a pilot, Restorative Practice has now grown to be part of the daily routine at Stringer. In behaviour management, David believes you need to have different approaches and Restorative Practice is one which can work with the most challenging pupils but in terms of emotional awareness, it benefits the whole school. However, Senior Leadership Teams have to be behind Restorative Practice and it must be linked to values.
This was an original problem David experienced – when they started to hold Restorative Conversations, the children didn’t have the emotional awareness or emotional literacy to use the language the staff wanted them to so they could think and learn about their behaviour rather than being punished by their behaviour. When they were asked what they needed to do, they said that they needed to improve their behaviour. Then a series of careful questions allowed David and the other teachers to start teaching the children about their behaviour and agree what it was they needed to concentrate on in order to improve.
To give the students the language they needed, they came up with three core values after a consultation process in which the whole school community was involved. They came up with:
Every half term they focus on one value which is threaded through the tutorial system so every student has that education in the values and what they are comprised of.
This means that when dealing with the ‘repeat offenders’, the school can use the common language that is displayed on the walls and constantly referred to. This helps the staff have purposeful conversations with the children – there is a consistent approach because everyone is using the same set of language.
A culture of Restorative Practice
This is imperative, according to David. Restorative Practice is a useful tool but you have to have buy-in from staff.
David describes how he works with new staff and uses the example of a pair of scales to illustrate the importance of balance in approach…

Thanks to a desired change in career, I found myself needing to get a new place fast. So, I quickly moved into this condo near my new place of work. I didn’t think too much about it; it was affordable and close to work, plus it allowed for my little dog. The place looked great, and the building seemed well-maintained. I signed the mortgage on it without a care. I was really too excited about this new career! I’ve only been here for about three weeks, but winter is coming and I needed the heater just last night. However, after a few hours of cranking it up for the first time, I noticed a peculiar, musty smell. I did not think this was alarming, since the condo hadn’t been lived in for quite some time. But then I got to thinking about the odor. The condo hasn’t been lived in for a while, so has the HVAC system been wasting away? Reluctantly, I declined to use the heating and called the first heating and air conditioning company I could after a night using my heated blanket. Sure enough, when the heating and A/C repairman came over the next day, he said I made the right decision. It would seem a part had broken on the oil furnace and the smell I detected was indicative of its demise. Luckily, I shut it down in time before the damage could spread, so he only needed to fix a simple problem, rather than replace the entire system. Next time, I will remember to have an HVAC service call before starting up the central heater next cold season. | <urn:uuid:b1df566c-480d-4303-9aed-bcac4eb4b8d8> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.durhamcoolingheating.com/timely-hvac-repair/ | 2023-03-22T03:44:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296943749.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20230322020215-20230322050215-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.985542 | 335 |

My bike-buying travels came to end last night. After going to Performance Bike, B&L Bike, California Bicycle, Bicycle Warehouse, REI, and several others, I actually found an ad on Craigslist listing a Specialized Crosstrail Comp in my size, XL.
I called the gentlemen, who sounded very young on the phone. He lived one town over from me and told me that he was selling because he wanted a road bike, more specifically, the Specialized Roubaix. And he had only ridden the Crosstrail twice. I smelled blood, because the Roubaix is a 7K ride which he could afford to buy and sell at will. (I like the art of the deal and blood is akin to me getting a good deal.) He also ended the rather long conversation with: if you don’t buy the bike, we will leave the best of friends. Not something you would tell someone you are looking to play hardball with.
I did not let on how interested I was in the Crosstrail Comp. I did tell him it was more bike than I was looking for and I quoted another Specialized I had seen (the Sirrus Sport) which was considerably cheaper. Still, he was advertising the bike at $900 and it lists for $1200. Plus, he had put in a 100 bucks of extras into it.
I showed up early and he was not at home yet. He drives a bus for a living, up and down the 101, from Oceanside to La Jolla, twice per shift. And his house looked run down. I was having second thoughts on separating him from his bike at a cutthroat price. I do have a heart, and despite what he told me about wanting to buy a carbon fiber Roubaix, I was reconsidering my tactics.
He arrived on time and then let me into his garage. The bike sat there, waiting for a rider, and it was perfect. The frame fit. The specs matched or exceeding what I was looking for:
Built for efficient recreation, exploration and fitness, the Crosstrail is an all-purpose bicycle for the rider who wants to stay in shape while enjoying the outdoors. The Crosstrail Comp Disc features dependable components like the 50mm-travel SR Suntour fork, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and SRAM X7 10-speed drivetrain.
- Smooth-welded M4 Premium Aluminum disc frame plus custom Suntour NCXi 50mm-travel fork with Mag lowers and lockout for lightweight confidence on any surface, with fender/rack braze-ons for versatility
- High profile, double-walled, sleeved 700c rims are durable and low maintenance
- SRAM 2×10 crankset with 48/32 rings for the latest in lightweight, wide-range gearing and spot-on shifting every time
- Body Geometry locking XTC grips are anatomically designed to keep hands pain-free and comfortable on long rides
- Shimano hydraulic disc brakes/levers assure solid, worry-free braking performance under any conditions
- SRAM 2×10 with X710-speed rear derailleur offer crisp shifting and reliable performance
- Sporty yet comfortable BG Targa Sport fitness saddle
We talked at length, he was truly a nice guy. I’ve heard that the first person to talk price always loses, but I don’t agree with that theory. I threw out my number. It is a little more bike than I was looking for, but I’d give you $760 for it. He thought about it and replied with: I could not take less than $800. I forced myself to pause and breathe: I’d give you $800. He seemed surprised. I thought he wasn’t going to accept the offer, but he did. Finally. We chatted about me going to Japan and riding the bike and about him buying his carbon fiber dream.
And we left with the best of both worlds. I thought I got a deal and he thought he got a fair price. With tax and extras, the bike was 1.5K. And I paid just more than half that. I am happy. I may just have to tear it up on Sunday. . . | <urn:uuid:11ee1edc-327d-4374-b0be-06b728939cb5> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://themellowjihadi.com/2013/06/01/buy-bike-craigslist/ | 2014-12-21T09:17:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802770815.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075250-00046-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979165 | 883 |

Located in the heart of Surrey’s urban core, Central City Brewing will be offering a special every game night (tonight’s is a Burger & Beer for $12.95). With some of the best brews in town (seriously – this place holds the title as Canada’s Brewery of the Year!), big screens, and an even bigger menu, this place is sure to brew up some play-off pandemonium!
Any of the Joseph Richard’s Group establishments are sure to be buzzing (and maybe even have you buzzing) with play-off festivities. Try the Townhall in South Surrey, The Henry in Cloverdale, or Edith & Arthur in Fleetwood, and watch the game with one of their 40 craft beers in-hand!
It doesn’t matter what team you’re cheering for – Big Ride Brewing will have the sound up for all Canadian hockey team play-off games. Take in the action on 15 HD screens, and enjoy a daily special, along with one of their many craft beers. They’ll also be doing player cards, so if your player scores, you get a shooter (appropriate – I know). Read more about Surrey’s original brewpub.
Fresh Restaurant & Lounge, located in the Sheraton Vancouver-Guildford Hotel, is also getting in on the action. View the game on a large projection screen in the Fresh Lounge, or on any of the 3 HD screens. With 1/2 price wings, $4 draught beer specials, and a $14 burger & beer combo on game nights, watching hockey has never been more delicious.
There couldn’t be a better night to kick-off the playoffs, because Wednesday is wings & beer night at Original Joe’s South Surrey & Cloverdale locations. Get an Original Joe’s beer for just $5.25 and pair it with a pound of wings (choose from 16 flavours), which are half-off! No matter the night, Original Joe’s will have specials going on. I’ve watched several play-off games here, including a nail-biting OT, and it’s always been a blast. | <urn:uuid:5a3373b6-0301-46dd-8e8b-033d375b1386> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://45in45.tourismsurrey.com/perfect-places-to-watch-the-playoffs/ | 2014-03-11T19:24:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011250185/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305092050-00099-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.937445 | 541 |
So my viewership has shot up lately, which kind of worries me because I don't have any additional followers. I'm always paranoid some one will find this. Not that I have been terribly secretive about the content. Any one would know who it was if they found it.
My main reason for posting is to express my nervousness about what happens AFTER North Carolina. After NC I am spending a week in New England with my family. My mother already warned me "bring some larger clothes cause I'm making lots of food!"
Ugh. She loves to fatten people up. And whenever you turn down food she just gets mad. She goes right from cleaning up from breakfast to making lunch and then into making dinner. There's never a break. She then gets mad at every one because she doesn't have any "down time" to spend with us because she is so busy cooking and cleaning. Here's a thought... No one here is hungry. Stop force-feeding us!
It's going to take a lot of sneaking and arguing to get out of gaining weight. But I'm determined to do it. I WILL do it.
Starting now. Exercising as much as possible so as to keep my metabolism up because I KNOW I will be eating more when I am there than I do here. If I can at least stave off a gain, that will be accomplishment enough. | <urn:uuid:58d2e442-adf7-478d-aac6-bb3a2b119414> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://alwaysworkingonit.blogspot.com/2013/06/views-and-foods.html | 2018-05-28T07:34:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794872114.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20180528072218-20180528092218-00568.warc.gz | en | 0.985622 | 283 |

The show with only one actor and sound and light effects is as porn as mime can be. The experience is liberating until Gassot smiles and turns his invisble chainsaw towards his audience and beheads the first row. Bookmarks Bookmarks Digg del. And I do not mean that in a metaphorical sense. New face of a clown Pettersson and Gassot take the contact to their audience and participation to a whole new level. Those caught performing these acts will be destroyed. This time the spice developes into a main course and an anachronic one-act play with only pantomime.

4321 Shape Up is a weight loss supplement that is made up of two primary components. The first is a daytime formula and the second is a nighttime formula. These two formulas are meant to be used at the appropriate times of the day in order to cater to the metabolic function during each of those time periods. According to the manufacturer of this product, the metabolism runs differently within the human body, depending on whether it is daytime or nighttime.
The ingredients within the two products that make up 4321 Shape Up are supposed to offer benefits that involve detoxing, so that the user will be able to “shape up” regardless of the time of day or what they’re doing.
This formulation was created and is manufactured by Arkopharma, which also markets and sells these pills. That company is based in France and has a focus on dietary supplements for a range of purposes, in addition to phototherapy and other forms of natural medicine. It sells its various products in more than 60 countries worldwide, including the U.S.A.
While the products are listed on the Arkopharma official website, there are no additional details offered to dieters aside from what is revealed on the packaging. This means that dieters are left to guess at what is contained within the formula, what the claims are with regards to the way that it works in the body, or even how it should be used.
That said, third party websites that have reviewed this product have explained that these supplements are actually designed to be used as a part of a broader system for weight loss. The strategy works by using the pills over a period of fifteen days and nights in which the body will be detoxing. The websites that have discussed this product have stated that this strategy was designed to allow a system to be cleansed ahead of taking on a larger weight loss strategy.
The idea is that by detoxing, the body will be better prepared to lose weight with greater efficacy. That said, this type of theory has never been proven by large medical studies. Moreover, the majority of doctors recommend against detoxes and cleanses because they say that for the majority of people, they don’t actually offer any real benefit but they do put a surprising amount of strain on the various organs of the body. Furthermore, for many people, cleansing and detoxing can actually be dangerous.
It is highly recommended that anyone considering the use of 4321 Shape Up first consult with a doctor to discuss the impact of detoxing as well as to talk about whether or not the ingredients in this formula could potentially live up to the promises of the manufacturer, or if they could be dangerous to that individual.
At the time of the writing of this review, the daytime 4321 Shape Up capsule was made of: green tea extract, yerba mate extract, barley malt powder, kola nut powder, fennel powder, and celery powder. On the other hand, the nighttime capsule was made of: lemon balm extract, Grapemax® (resveratrol), kidney bean powder, hawthorn powder, and chicory powder. | <urn:uuid:dc60d85c-a89e-451b-9283-a986e87260d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://goodhealthreviews.com/weight-loss-supplement/4321-shape-up/ | 2023-06-04T14:45:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224649986.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20230604125132-20230604155132-00688.warc.gz | en | 0.972483 | 633 |

Mercury Season Preview Part II: 'Expectations'
PhoenixMercury.com previews the 2013 season in a special three-part series. Part 1 discusses the team's excitement for the season, Part 2 centers around their expectations and Part 3 talks about the Mercury's relentless motivation.
“I don’t read the paper,” Corey Gaines said. “I know a lot of coaches say that, but I really don’t. I don’t follow all of the stuff that people say about us. I mean, sometimes it is hard to avoid the hype, but my job is to get this team ready to play every night. I don’t have time for that other stuff.”
The Mercury isn’t concerned with the lofty expectations that have been placed on them this year. In a season that can already be labeled as incredibly high-profile, expectations are something the team has absolutely no control of.

“It’s kind of funny,” said Penny Taylor. “We know that a lot is being said, but I don’t think any of us pay attention to it. We’re all just really focused on getting better as a team. I know how cliché that sounds, but that’s really where our mindset is at. And, to be honest, I think we’re doing a good job of that.”
On paper, as we’ve said before, the Mercury is as good a team as any in the WNBA. But again, that means absolutely nothing until they prove it on the basketball court.
As a team, the Mercury isn’t looking to be perfect; there are no perfect seasons, just perfect moments. Indeed, the Mercury hopes those moments make everything else – all the blood, sweat and tears – worthwhile.
“We expect to work hard,” Brittney Griner said about the team’s expectations. “We expect to get better every day we are in the gym together. Other than that, it doesn’t matter what is said about us. They could say we’re the greatest team or the worst. What we are focusing on is ourselves. That’s the only thing we can control.”
If you look at the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL or the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA – teams who have been dubbed champs before ever taking the floor – the hype certainly doesn’t always work in your favor.
“I think it comes down to chemistry,” Corey Gaines said when asked why exceedingly talented teams sometimes fail to meet expectations. “Maybe they just don’t get along on or off the court; one of the two is going to throw you off. But we have a veteran team who has won championships before. Sometimes teams just don’t jell.”
After watching the Mercury in practice for the past month, it’s clear how deliberate they are in terms of staying true to themselves.
Rather, they consciously choose what information they let in.
Similar to goal-setting, high expectations can have a positive effect on a team. But it can also have a far-reaching negative impact. At times, it’s easy to slip into criticizing and blaming others when things aren’t going according to plan.
The Mercury, on the other hand, is looking to avoid the same disappointment the Eagles and Lakers faced.
“Sometimes you lose focus,” Diana Taurasi added. “Sometimes you’re just not a good team. Basketball is about five people who can work together to complete a play, to get a defensive rotation down. It doesn’t matter how many individuals you have if you can’t put it together.
“We’re trying to be a team that does the little things to help us eventually get to where we want to be.”VIDEO: PhoenixMercury.com asks players and coaches how they plan on dealing with the high expectations that have been placed upon this year's team. | <urn:uuid:7c771171-2b49-4004-8f24-f9f7c47e9d9c> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.wnba.com/mercury/news/2013_preview_two.html | 2014-03-11T23:41:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011355201/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305092235-00089-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958692 | 882 |
