How To Fight Fairly
From suburban parks to professional stadiums, team members follow pre-established rules when playing baseball or football. Boxing has the Marquis of Queensberry rules that turn what might have been a melee into a sporting event. Precedents, codes, policies, and regulations govern courts of law. Even war has the Geneva Convention.
Soccer, of course, has rules by which the contestants play, but the grandstands can be quite a different matter. Some European soccer fans disregard the rules of social order, and the result is chaos and rioting. The situation in these soccer grandstands is similar to what can be found in many families. Without a structure to help family members resolve their conflicts, differences often result in arguments (at best) and abuse (at worst). Adopting rules helps to create an orderly way of discussing differences.
Developing Rules of Engagement
"Fair fighting," a concept introduced by Dr. George Bach, introduces a set of rules that make reasonable discussion possible. It does this by prescribing a format that allows the parties to listen to one another as they express their feelings and concerns in a calm and forthright manner. The ultimate goal is for each to understand the other.
The rules of fair fighting:
- Bar physical and verbal abuse.
- Disallow offensive labeling of others' ideas, character, or behavior.
- Exclude assumptions about another's thinking or motives (including talking for one another).
- Ban putting the relationship on the line when you are not having your way in the discussion.
The parties need to agree in advance on a specific set of rules to follow and must establish these rules when calm. The goal is for the discussion to be effective rather than give either party an opportunity to "get even," so "drama" is considered counterproductive. When the rules are set, they should be written down so there is no confusion later.
Here are some ideas to consider when developing your rules of engagement:
- Decide when. Identify a good time for your discussion. Avoid times when tired, or when children may be listening, or when stress may be looming. If it is a time when you are both relaxed, it is likely to work better.
- Decide where. Find a neutral location for your discussion. Avoid discussions in your bed or in locations where you are likely to be interrupted.
- Decide what. Agree on the topic or the problem for discussion beforehand.
- Limit the discussion to a single topic or problem. Related issues make it too complicated for clarity.
- Focus on the present situation. Past history can raise the emotional barometer.
- Make a short specific statement about your concern. Vague and lengthy statements are hard to follow.
- Calmly state your feelings about the situation. Most feeling words are variations on one of these themes: mad, glad, sad, and scared. Again, if you can't name your feeling calmly, delay the discussion until you can.
- The person presenting the concern begins by making a full statement, including content and feelings, without interruption.
- The second person restates his or her understanding of the first person's statement, without interruption.
- The first person either agrees that the second person adequately restated the concern or clarifies the part that was not understood.
- If necessary, the second person restates the part that was clarified.
- When the first person finally agrees that the second person understands, the second person has the opportunity to respond.
- The first person restates until the second person is satisfied that the first person understands.
- This active listening process continues until both parties are satisfied that they understand each other.
- When each truly understands the other's concerns and feelings, it is likely that some options or middle ground will emerge that both parties can live with. The art of compromise is facilitated by the idea that each party gets some of what he or she wants, but not all.

New York City comptroller John Liu has accused Hewlett-Packard of overbilling the Big Apple to the tune of $163m on a long-delayed upgrade to the 911 emergency call system. HP says Liu is misinterpreting the contract and it is delivering its part of the 911 call center upgrade under budget.
According to a statement put out by Liu, the comptroller's office did an extensive audit of the Emergency Communications Transformation Program (ECTP) project – which is managed by the city's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) – back in March. At the time, it reckoned that the project, which was awarded to HP in 2004 and was supposed to be done in 2008, was going to take until 2015 to complete.
Having gone through that ECTP audit report (PDF) with a fine-toothed comb, Liu is accusing HP of not performing up to spec on the contract between April 2005 and April 2008 and for incorrect billing for time and materials on its portion of the contract to upgrade the 911 system used by NYPD and the Fire Department City of New York (FDNY). DoITT has been chastised, as it was back in March, and told it needed to put in place better vendor selection and payment control processes.
By Liu's reading of the original ECTP contract, the system was supposed to cost no more than $380m over a five-year term with two options to extend until June 2012. In January of this year, the city projected it would have spent $307m by mid-April. In January last year, Northrup Grumman was awarded $286m to do a second part of the original contract, ballooning the cost to $632m, and Liu's office is now estimating that cost overruns beyond this could be as high as an additional $362m.
The equipment and systems integration portion of the original HP contract was supposed to cost $270m, with $156m coming from hardware and software and $114m for integration services.
The comptroller is suggesting that HP has overbilled the city by $113m during the 2005 through 2008 time period despite "unsatisfactory performance" that meant the HP was not entitled to the funds, as far as Liu's office is concerned. Liu is also estimated that based on a sampling of timesheets filled out by HP and subcontractors on the project that found $2.5m in time and material charges that as much as $50m in similarly unjustified costs might have been added to the ECTP contract by HP. Add it up, and the city could recoup as much as $163m from the HP portion of the contract by the comptroller's math.
"With one month to go before the City's budget is ratified, and with devastating cuts on the table, taxpayers should be outraged at the fleecing that transpired under City Hall's watch," Liu said in his statement.
Liu, who is no stranger to controversy himself and who is in the midst of a fundraising scandal of his own, has handed off the report to the Manhattan District Attorney's office for a review to see if fraud charges should be brought against HP.
Cas Holloway, Deputy Mayor for Operations for the City of New York, was quoted by the Associated Press defending the HP contract, saying that Liu "is not going to allow the facts to get in the way of the story he wants to tell" and adding that Liu was misreading portions of the HP contract and that there was "rigorous oversight" of the billing.
HP seems to agree with the Deputy Mayor in its assessment of what HP was originally contracted to do, and that was only to deliver the Public Safety Answering Center (PSAC1) system, not a unified computer-aided dispatch system or the PSAC2 system that was awarded to Northrup Grumman.
"HP is undergoing a process to review and analyze the audit, checking its findings against our records," an HP spokesperson tells El Reg.
"HP is committed to helping the city of New York build an effective and innovative 911 call center for the city's greatest public servants – those at the front lines of emergency response every day. To date, HP's work on the ECTP project has been delivered under the originally estimated budget of $380m, and HP anticipates that when its scope of work is 100 per cent complete at the completion of Phase 1 on June 30, it will remain under the original budget." ®

Temari-zushi - one type of the bijutsu-zushi (direct translation will be 'art-sushi') aka decorative sushis that sushi chefs prepare for special occasions. Let's get the meaning of temari first, te - hand, and mari - ball. As its name suggests, temari-zushi is shaped like a little marble ball that children play with, sometimes there is a shallow depression in the middle filled with sesame seeds or egg yolk.
This is the second time I post about Temari-zushi, explanation and description of this sushi is taken from my previous post (sushi made with smoked salmon). It can be made with various topping, usually sashimi but I have seen meat and vegetable version. Great for party, it is a very presentable dish to impress your guests I must say.
Ingredients (makes 6 pcs):
- 6 tbsp Sushi rice
- 6 medium prawns
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil, drop in prawns. Once the water starts to boil again, remove prawns and put them under running tap water then submerge in iced water for few minutes.
- Peel then prawns, cut the tail part off then make a butterfly cut as shown in the photo. Set aside.
- Shape a tablespoon of sushi rice into a ball shape with plastic wrap. Then, unwrap and cover it with a prawn. Wrap it up again so it will have a nice round shape.
- Unwrap, arrange on serving plate. Serve with with shoyu, wasabi and pickled ginger.

Explosion of UFO over Phu Quoc Island… was it a secret military plane?
Posted by dandare on June 3, 2008
UFO= Unidentified Flying Object
Place: Phu Quoc Island ( Vietnam )
Time: 10am
What happened: explosion and debris found; Authorities contacted all airline companies, not just in Vietnam, but in neighbouring countries – no reported accidents. As of this time they are not sure if it is a civil or military airplane? no survivors?
Some claim it to be of extra terrestrial origin? many reports however, hint that it could be a military plane on a secret mission ?? I would suggest/ or lean towards the second theory myself…. although there could be another explanation…
Some Sources to this incident:
The Phnom Penh Post (30th may 2008 ) "Police launch probe into UFO explosion"
Reuters (28th may 2008 ) "Vietnam reports UFO explosion"
thanh Nien Daily (1st june 2008 ) "UFO incident in southern vietnam reported to government"
salem news ( 30th may 2008 ) "Vietnamese government confirms UFO explosion"
india daily (1st june 2008 ) "UFO made of biochemical derivatives explodes in vietnam"
telegraph ( 29th may 2008 ) "UFO blamed for mystery explosion in vietnam"
One Response to "Explosion of UFO over Phu Quoc Island… was it a secret military plane?"
June 14, 2008 at 9:21 am
I think I buy into the plane on secret mission theory.
(no less romantic than the UFO theory and a little more plausible)
Now we only need to find out who's plane and what was the mission…
Seeing pictures of the Island, I would be quite happy to go out there, sit on the beach and wonder….

Now watch how we close the market, motherfuckers

- The Timbers won the final two meetings between the teams a season ago, both in Portland, after the teams played to a 1-1 draw in the only encounter in Frisco.
- The road team has never won in the series, in eight meetings all-time. The Timbers have come away with points on two of four trips to FC Dallas.
- Coaches record: Oscar Pareja vs. POR: P6 W2 L3 T1 … Caleb Porter vs. DAL: P3 W2 L0 T1
FC Dallas continued their undefeated start to the campaign, getting three late goals on their way to a 3-1 win against Chivas USA on Saturday evening at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas sit atop the Western Conference with 7 points from 3 games.
- FC Dallas took the lead in the 71st minute. From a free kick, Mauro Diaz sent in a looping ball that found defensive midfielder Hendry Thomas in the box. He nodded the ball down for an onrushing Fabian Castillo, who put the ball first-time into the back of the net.
- The lead was 2-0 in the 79th minute. From just inside the halfway line, Diaz and found Je-Vaughn Watson on the far side. The perfectly weighted ball skipped off a defender and allowed Watson to dribble around an exposed Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy before slotting home from a harsh angle.
- Two minutes later, Chivas USA pulled a goal back when substitute Kris Tyrpak took a pass from Adolfo Bautista on the left side of the box and sent in a low cross for Erick Torres to turn home from close range.
- But just five minutes later, FCD restored their margin when substitute Michel drove a free kick through the wall from outside the area on the right, the ball taking a deflection on its way past an outstretched Kennedy.
- FC DALLAS (4-2-3-1): Chris Seitz - Kellyn Acosta, Matt Hedges, Stephen Keel, Jair Benitez - Hendry Thomas (ejected 94+), Adam Moffat (Andrew Jacobson 11 / David Texeira 66) - Je-Vaughn Watson, Mauro Diaz, Fabian Castillo - Blas Perez (Michel 76).
- FCD head coach Oscar Pareja made one change to the team that got a late equalizer for a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park. Hendry Thomas came back into the team for Andrew Jacobson.
- FC Dallas lead the league with seven goals scored through the opening three weeks of the season.
- "I liked our game. I have to say that I'm very proud of this team – the way they executed the plan," FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja said. "It was very good, especially in the first half when I saw the first team creating many options; being in front of the goal four times is not easy in the game. ... They have been training a lot on finishing."
- Fabian Castillo scored his second goal of the season, opening the scoring in the win vs. Chivas USA.
- "Castillo is a player who needs to practice that, and he knows," Pareja said. "It's time for him to show that he can create options and that he can also finish. Having Fabián in the mode of contributing to the team is crucial for us."
- Said Castillo: 'I feel better, but it's more a matter of gaining confidence. The coaching staff is comfortable letting me attack. They work with me a lot in training and the coaches give me the confidence to be creative. It is very helpful to be able to play with confidence."
- Mauro Diaz was credited with his first assist of the season on the Castillo goal, and just missed on a second when a Chivas fullback was not able to completely knock away the pass to Je-Vaughn Watson which was finished for the second FCD goal.
- "Mauro is the first one that I look at and he knows that and he's carrying the pressure very well," Pareja said. "Fantastic ball to Watson and a couple more to Castillo. The penetration that Mauro is giving us is outstanding. Mauro is carrying the team now ... he's doing very well."
- Michel scored directly from a free kick for a second consecutive season, capping the win vs. Chivas USA. Of FCD's seven goals this season, five have come on deadball situations, four from free kicks.
- "We will be pleased to score from set pieces in tight games when it seemed like you cannot seem to bring the ball back to the net," said Pareja. "In the first half, especially, when we created five chances but couldn't score, we kept depending on set pieces. I thought we all saw a team that deserved to win and that's the bottom line."
The Portland Timbers suffered their first loss of the2014 season, conceding two late penalty kicks on their way to a 2-0 loss to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday evening at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The Timbers are in seventh place in the Western Conference with 2 points from 3 games.
- The Rapids took the lead midway through the second half. A ball played over the top ball from Dillon Powers drew Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts off his line, and after he caught Deshorn Brown with his tackle in the area, he was shown a red card. Vicente Sanchez coolly converted for his second penalty-kick goal in the 73rd minute.
- Barely a minute later, substitute goalkeeper Andrew Weber clipped Sanchez in the area as he raced onto another Powers feed, and referee Mark Geiger again pointed to the spot. Deshorn Brown took the resulting penalty kick and saw it saved by Weber, but Brown was able to bang in the rebound.
- Rapids midfielder Jose Mari saw a second yellow in the 90th minute, evening the sides at 10 men apiece, but Portland was unable to work its way back into the match.
- Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made two changes to the team that came back for a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire at Providence Park. Pa Modou Kah came back into the side for Norberto Paparatto, and Steve Zakuani started in place of Maximiliano Urruti.
- PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts (ejected 71) - Jack Jewsbury (Alvas Powell 79), Pa Modou Kah, Mamadou Danso, Michael Harrington - Diego Chara - Will Johnson, Diego Valeri - Darlington Nagbe, Gaston Fernandez, Steve Zakuani (Maximiliano Urruti 65).
- The Timbers lost for the first time this season after back-to-back draws to open the campaign. A year ago, they recorded three draws and a loss in their first four games – then won twice in a row and did not lose again until after the start of June.
- "It comes down to points and winning and we didn't. We're not making excuses. This locker room, myself, we don't makes excuses. There were some things certainly that were against us today and it was tough, there were a few things that we question, but in the end we're not going to make excuses," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. "We're going to get back to work, we're not going to dwell too long, and will move on quickly. This is one where you want to have a pretty short-term memory."
- After Donovan Ricketts was sent off, the first two shots Andrew Weber faced after coming on as a substitute goalkeeper were both penalty kicks. He saved the second – they were the first two spot kicks he'd faced in his MLS career – but Colorado's Deshorn Brown scored on the rebound.
- Of the Timbers four goals allowed this season, three have come after penalty kicks.
- "It's a tight game, it's an even game, we're not giving up very many chances, we look like we're going to get a goal somewhere at some point. Next thing you know it's a PK and we're down a goal and down a man," said Porter. "It makes it very difficult in that situation. That was certainly the play and moment and call that changed the game. I thought our guys deserved better, and it's unfortunate."
- The Timbers were also shut out at the attacking end for the first time this season, now with two goals from their three games on the year.
- "You can see in the performance it's there," Porter said. "We're not certainly where we need to be, nor is any team at this point. It's not where you start but where you end, how you finish. ... It's not like we're in games wondering how we're going to win," he said. "We're at the end of the games wondering how we lost."
- Steve Zakuani made his first start for the Timbers since coming to the club from Seattle Sounders FC in the offseason.
- On Wednesday, Ricketts had a second game added to his suspension in a ruling by the MLS Disciplinary Committee.

Summary and Keywords
Clinical linguistics is the branch of linguistics that applies linguistic concepts and theories to the study of language disorders. As the name suggests, clinical linguistics is a dual-facing discipline. Although the conceptual roots of this field are in linguistics, its domain of application is the vast array of clinical disorders that may compromise the use and understanding of language. Both dimensions of clinical linguistics can be addressed through an examination of specific linguistic deficits in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, craniofacial anomalies, adult-onset neurological impairments, psychiatric disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders. Clinical linguists are interested in the full range of linguistic deficits in these conditions, including phonetic deficits of children with cleft lip and palate, morphosyntactic errors in children with specific language impairment, and pragmatic language impairments in adults with schizophrenia.
Like many applied disciplines in linguistics, clinical linguistics sits at the intersection of a number of areas. The relationship of clinical linguistics to the study of communication disorders and to speech-language pathology (speech and language therapy in the United Kingdom) are two particularly important points of intersection. Speech-language pathology is the area of clinical practice that assesses and treats children and adults with communication disorders. All language disorders restrict an individual's ability to communicate freely with others in a range of contexts and settings. So language disorders are first and foremost communication disorders. To understand language disorders, it is useful to think of them in terms of points of breakdown on a communication cycle that tracks the progress of a linguistic utterance from its conception in the mind of a speaker to its comprehension by a hearer. This cycle permits the introduction of a number of important distinctions in language pathology, such as the distinction between a receptive and an expressive language disorder, and between a developmental and an acquired language disorder. The cycle is also a useful model with which to conceptualize a range of communication disorders other than language disorders. These other disorders, which include hearing, voice, and fluency disorders, are also relevant to clinical linguistics.
Clinical linguistics draws on the conceptual resources of the full range of linguistic disciplines to describe and explain language disorders. These disciplines include phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse. Each of these linguistic disciplines contributes concepts and theories that can shed light on the nature of language disorder. A wide range of tools and approaches are used by clinical linguists and speech-language pathologists to assess, diagnose, and treat language disorders. They include the use of standardized and norm-referenced tests, communication checklists and profiles (some administered by clinicians, others by parents, teachers, and caregivers), and qualitative methods such as conversation analysis and discourse analysis. Finally, clinical linguists can contribute to debates about the nosology of language disorders. In order to do so, however, they must have an understanding of the place of language disorders in internationally recognized classification systems such as the 2013 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) of the American Psychiatric Association.
Keywords: aphasia, cleft lip and palate, communication disorder, dysarthria, hearing loss, language disorder, schizophrenia, specific language impairment, speech-language pathology, speech sound disorder

Description: Hey guys! I'm freezing tonight and thought maybe I'd submit another lesson to warm myself up. This character will definitely give me the warm I need due to her warm fuzzy wool. You'll be learning "how to draw Lammy, step by step! Like most Skelanimals, Lammy has a very curvy bone structure which is actually pretty interesting. I had fun drawing the character as these characters are pretty epic. The official website is selling her as a plushie in stores like Toys-R-Us and on their online website. The coloring was fairly easy, but the background was taken from the actual website. By practicing drawing Skelanimals, you'll be able to create your own by training and always on the practicing mode. I have a tutorial in the Skelanimal tag where you can find to create your very own. It was my first attempt to make my own type which sorta failed. If you ever have the time to type in Google 'Kyuubi Skelanimal', all you Narutards will freak over it! It's a Kyuubi in this style which is totally epic. The artist who created it did a great job to make it the believable style. My advice to you is to always practice and looking for ways to improve. Anyways, I have to leave tonight and move onwards to my new lessons shortly. I hope this tutorial has fulfilled all your fan needs of this famous toy style.

Editor's note: For Nov. 7 publication.
It was the worst of times, it was the best of times (sorry Charles Dickens). Last year's ski season started with warmth – and no snow – and ended with the best snowfall, and some of the best ski conditions ever in March and April.
Everyone's hoping the weather won't be big news again this year. What certainly is big news is the demise of the giant American Skiing Company and new owners for Sugarloaf and Sunday River in Maine, Attitash in New Hampshire, Mount Snow, and Killington and Pico in Vermont.
New capital is flowing into these resorts as the new owners improve their facilities. Given the horrendous start to last year's season, it's not surprising that energy-efficient compressors, snow-guns and groomers are tops on everyone's shopping list. In fact, Attitash, Bretton Woods, Killington, Sugarbush, Sugarloaf and Sunday River all started making serious snow for the season in late October.
New lifts, trails, base lodges, slopeside villages, spas and health clubs will come about thanks to the new owners, but all take years of planning and construction. We'll see the results down the road. But other projects that have been ongoing for years are now producing results.New Hampshire
New owners and/or operators will eventually mean change at Attitash (Peak Resorts), Ragged Mountain (RMR Pacific) and Loon Mountain Resort (Boyne USA). But what you'll see already at Loon, in Lincoln, is that after more than a decade of planning and permit processing they are finally opening three new runs – two groomed trails and a new glade – with two new lifts as the first phase of their expansion onto 2,450-foot South Peak.
Though the slopes at Bretton Woods in Bretton Woods are going to look pretty much the same this year, the off-slope experience is changing with a new 25,000-square foot spa and health club and 30,000-square foot convention center attached to the elegant Mount Washington Hotel. You'll see it rise before your very eyes as the season progresses, and it should be open in late 2008.Vermont
Four resorts have new owners in Vermont this season: Killington and Pico (Powder Corp.), Mount Snow (Peak Resorts) and Bolton Valley (Redstone). All will have much-needed upgrades before snow flies.
But the biggest and most visible changes are at Stowe, which is looking brand new – at least Spruce Peak where they've replaced slow lifts with new high speeds, added a new gondola to connect the Spruce base with Mount Mansfield across route 108, and created some new trail configurations. Stowe is also smack in the middle of building a complete new base village, including a base lodge and a huge slopeside hotel. The base lodge should be on-line in December while the hotel will open later in the season.
Believe it or not, there's a brand-new lift at Mad River Glen, where nothing is ever supposed to change. But traditionalists needn't worry. It doesn't look like a new lift. MRG spent $1.5 million this season to fully restore and refurbish their iconic single chair. You can enjoy the same 45-minute wait in line for the 11-minute ride to the top in glorious solitude.Maine
Both Sugarloaf and Sunday River were purchased in August by Boyne USA. The hotels are being spiffed up, new carpet lifts have been installed for beginners, and there's more snowmaking.
But the biggest change in Maine is at Saddleback, where new lifts and a beautiful new base lodge opened last season are transforming this once-forgotten old warhorse. If you've never skied Saddleback, you've missed some of best terrain in New England.Massachusetts
Cruise out to Jiminy Peak if you want to get a glimpse of the future at ski resorts. On top of their hill, they've installed a huge new wind turbine, called The Zephyr, which will generate a full 1/3 of the electricity used by this humming resort. It looks like a moving Brancusi sculpture and, in its own way, is as beautiful and practical as Boston's Zakim Bridge.
One of the best things about New England skiing is the sheer diversity. If you only ski the big-name resorts with high mountains, high-speed lifts and high-ticket prices, you are missing some of the best.
Here are samples of some favorite smaller areas you may never have visited.
· Whaleback Mountain (Enfield, N.H.; 603 448-1489; www.whaleback.com) is already open for skiing and riding, sort of. In late October, they started trucking in ice shavings from local skating rinks and using them to lubricate their brand new Jib Park where skiers and snowboarders grind rails and other urban-style hits on snowboards and twin-tipped skis. Great fun if you are under 25 and still on Mom and Dad's health insurance.
· Burke Mountain (East Burke, Vt.; 802-626-3322; www.skiburke.com) is about to go mainstream with lots of new slopeside lodging. Get there now, while it's still quiet. You'll love the terrain and the views.
· Magic Mountain (Londonderry, Vt.; 802-824-5645; www.magicmtn.com) is the best-kept secret in southern Vermont. If you like challenging terrain and no crowds, don't miss it.
· Black Mountain (Jackson, N.H.; 800-475-4669; www.blackmt.com) and Berkshire East (Charlemont, Mass.; 413-339-6617; www.berkshireeast.com) are ski areas that time has forgotten. The lifts are slow, but the prices are reasonable and the terrain is great.
· Cannon Mountain (Franconia N.H.; 603-823-8800; www.cannonmt.com) is always cold, often icy, but is the biggest, most challenging and least crowded mountain close to Boston.IF YOU GO
You can ALWAYS save money on lift tickets by purchasing ahead of time online, at off-site vendors (try local ski shops), by buying multi-day tickets, or, best of all, by skiing mid-week and non-holiday. Check the Web sites for more special offers.

The issues are, for the most part, public education and fairness for commuters - by way of fare hikes. Gagarin is 27 years old, and for a City Council that sees change through term limits, perhaps a younger candidate is not necessarily at any disadvantage the way he might be if he were running against a 14-year incumbent.
Gagarin feels that mayoral control of the school system is an idea that could use some improvement.
"There are weaknesses in the program. It's critical to have parents at the decision making table," says Gagarin.
It's a common thread in this year's election cycle in regard to education. Public education is a tough issue politically, because candidates need to show where the failures in the system are without making students and educators look as though they are to blame.
Gagarin is well educated, graduating from American University in Washington, D.C. and then working in liberal Democratic politics right away. He eventually worked as an aide to State Senator Jose Serrano and then for Congressman Anthony Weiner (which can actually count as having military combat experience). He now works as a media manager for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
What Gagarin has to his advantage is that Weiner lives in Kew Gardens, and it cannot hurt for a lesser-known candidate to have a link to a well-known congressman in the area. Gagarin is likely to face Lynn Schulman, as well as Heidi Harrison Chain in the primary, among others.
Chain, a self described "peopletician" has logged 20 years at the New York City Department of Finance, where she is director of Legal Affairs. She also serves as president of the 112th Precinct Community Council.
Schulman is a respected community presence who has some educational heft of her own. Schulman was recently endorsed by the far left Working Families Party. That endorsement aside, Schulman stands to get some good mainstream support, especially from establishment political figures that respect her work on gay rights issues.
Mel Gagarin stands as a formidable candidate because his opponents are going to be splitting votes among their own pocket constituencies. But since Gagarin is just introducing himself, he can present a fresh political face to go along with a look that - like Eric Ulrich in the 32nd District - dispels any thought of politics as usual.
He takes a careful step to criticize congestion pricing, saying that it was a "good idea with poor execution." Most Queens politicians are not fans of congestion pricing since that policy stood to hurt the commuting public and not the Manhattan crowd. He is careful, and he speaks to the issues with scholarship. The candidates in this district are articulate and prepared to do the legislative heavy lifting.
This is going to be a good race in the 29th District. It's unfortunate that there is really no GOP presence. For those of us who still think a democracy should have more than one party, it is just something for which to wait and hope.

This course covers major environmental hazards. Licensees need to familiarize themselves with environmental issues because they have a responsibility to disclose to buyers any information that might affect their decision to buy. Environmental hazards can dramatically affect a property's value, so buyers, sellers, lenders and licensees all can be affected by them. This course includes the following lessons: - The Indoor Environment- The External Environment- Legislation- Disclosure and Site Assessment- Real Estate Practice Students will learn throughout this course to identify internal and external environmental issues. They will learn about health hazards, environmental legislation, liability and responsibility for cleanup and protection. They will also learn about actions they should take and how issues affect licensees and lending. Licensees are not expected to be environmental experts, but in this course students will acquire a competency with environmental issues which will help them to elucidate issues for buyers, sellers and lenders. Knowledge of environmental issues also will help protect them from charges of nondisclosure. The conclusion of this course presents real world dilemmas and applications of the information presented. As the student completes this course, he or she should try to paint a big picture of environmental issues, which the course will address with comprehensive content questions, practices and case studies.

By Simone Stromer, MD, CHC [AADP]
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements (usually referred to as fish oil) are amongst the most commonly consumed dietary supplements and yet many people are confused about their health benefits and the extent to which they are effective in disease prevention. Dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids include fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring, and anchovies) and plants (flaxseed, hempseed, walnuts, and linseed). Eating fish (particularly those high in omega-3 fatty acids) about twice a week is part of a well-balanced and healthy diet. Fish oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids called DHA and EPA, while plant sources contain ALA. It is the DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids that have been repeatedly studied in a variety of medical conditions and found to be beneficial – but not unequivocally.
There is research evidence suggesting that intake of recommended amounts of DHA and EPA in the form of dietary fish or fish oil supplements lowers triglycerides (a type of cholesterol) and blood pressure, and may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (especially in those people who have already suffered it beforehand). In addition, it has been suggested that fish oil supplementation may improve brain development of a growing fetus, prevent postpartum depression and improve cognition in older people; however, there really is not enough evidence to recommend fish oil supplementation for these reasons at this point in time.
All of us should strive to eat a balanced diet that includes natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids. However, because many of us do not manage to get two good servings of fish per week, especially those oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, nearly everyone could benefit from the recommended amount of EPA/DHA supplementation, unless your doctor advises against it.

Season's Greetings
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my readers, visitors, partners in word-wrangling, and friends for your continuing support. To those who have 'liked' my posts, I want to say many thanks. To those who have 'shared' my posts and/or reviewed my books, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude: such activity helps spread the word, gain readers, and introduce new people to my work. Thank you all very much!
As for the coming year, who knows? My daughter, Kate, came home from Australia on 4th December, with her boyfriend, Josh. He asked her to marry him whilst they were visiting his grandma in Holland; no surprise she said 'Yes!', so the coming year (or maybe next) could involve a trip somewhere to cement that happy union.
In the meantime, I'll attempt to keep you entertained and informed and distracted from your writing. The Creative Writing Contests Table is as up to date as I can make it at present, but I'll be doing more to that in January, so make sure you visit the Resources tab, where you'll find the link. There's also a useful pair of lists of first names for males and females if you're looking for those for either your characters or your children. Free, of course.
But that's me done for this year, apart, of course, from the two posts I've scheduled for the coming week. Enjoy!
14 Responses to "Season's Greetings"
That's wonderful news, Stuart. I hope to see and read about Australia soon.
Happy holidays. All the best.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Stuart.

WOVEN FURNITURE: High density polyethylene fibres are woven by hand in the traditional way around a strong and lightweight welded frame. The result is strong and attractive furniture which can withstand extreme weather. Woven furniture made with synthetic resin requires virtually no maintenance, except for occasional cleaning with soapy water.
SYNTHETIC RATTAN: The intricate rattan weave features finely detailed fibres woven by hand in a traditional basket weaving pattern. The high density polyethylene fibres are very strong but flexible, ideal for weaving. The fibres are also weather resistant and capable of withstanding UV rays.
TOUGHENED GLASS TABLE TOPS: Toughened safety glass is around 6 times stronger than normal glass so it is less likely to break. When it does break toughened glass breaks into harmless small pieces. Toughened glass is a durable material which will not deteriorate. Glass requires virtually no maintenance, except for occasional cleaning with soapy water.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were photographed in Aspen yesterday walking to a local comedy club. There's a maple leaf on her hat. It's a super cute hat.
Not known whether or not they spent Christmas there but perhaps New Year's? At Mimi's?
Can you imagine Blake and Ryan over at Mimi's for a NYE party?
What's ahead for the Reynoldses in 2014? Ryan has two films due out for release and another on deck to start shooting. Blake meanwhile will begin working on Adaline in April and, of course, at some point plans to launch her lifestyle but not really lifestyle brand that no one has ever done before because she thought of it first…online. Can't wait.

Plain Clip
Removes formatting from copied text
Plain Clip is a tiny Mac application which will remove formatting from text which is on the clipboard. It's designed as a faceless application (i.e.: no graphical user interface, with the exception of the preferences window), which makes it ideal for triggering it from a hotkey / launcher applications such as Spark or LaunchBar. For users of such tools, Plain Clip offers a way to invoke it with a shell command, which makes it possible to emulate a "⌘-V" / "Paste" keyboard shortcut after the clipboard's content has been converted.
Since version 2.0, a number of additional, optional text processing steps have been added, so user can choose to not only convert the text, but – for instance – to also remove all trailing whitespace and replace consecutive spaces with a single one. See the screenshot below for the options that are currently available.
Plain Clip is localized in English, German and Italian.

Saving Lives, Marriages, & Families
Watching a loved one spiral out of control and become a person you barely recognize can be one of the most stressful and heartbreaking experiences you can go through. Usually the person you love is unaware of the emotional strain and crisis surrounding himself which unfortunately leaves many people in your situation feeling:
- Afraid
- Hopeless
- Frustrated
- Unsure of where to turn for help
Too often family doctors are at a loss to help, and since they are not addiction specialists they only know to suggest a local 12-step or an out-patient program. Like most, you know these methods have been tried and have not worked, leaving family and friends wondering, "What's next"?
Calls Answered By An Addiction Specialist
We accept major insurances. Private pay options are available including third party financing. Call our addiction specialists for help with your individual circumstances.
Our program challenges all the old assumptions about alcoholism and drug addiction.
Through research and working with leading experts in the field, it's clear to us that the traditional psychological model and 12-step-based programs simply don't work for a large percentage of people. Why though? Those outdated models do not address the biochemical imbalances, nutritional deficiencies and neurological conditions that underlie addictive behaviour.
At the Canadian Health Recovery Centre, we address addiction as both behavioural and biochemical in nature which is vastly different than that of traditional treatment models.
How is CHRC different?
Our orthomolecular treatment model is uniquely tailored to benefit the individual suffering from addiction – cravings are reduced and neurotransmitter function is improved – paving the way for talk therapy to be effective.
- We are not a 12-step program.
- We don't use the outdated practices of traditional treatment programs.
- Our program is based on the latest scientific research.
- Our treatment model provides a significantly higher long-term recovery rate over traditional treatment.
- Our men-only program improves outcomes by providing relaxed fellowship without distraction.
- Our facility is set on 14 wooded acres on the outskirts of Peterborough, Ontario.
- Our guests will experience a retreat-like feel with resort-quality care and amenities.
- Our spacious, well-appointed bedrooms include ensuite living area, bathrooms and showers.
No one ever chooses addiction, but you can choose to help them recover.
Despite traditional treatment programs, many people continue to live broken lives plagued by cravings, anxiety, depression, relapses and suicide. The statistics are alarming and disheartening:
- 80 percent of treated alcoholics relapse after one year.
- Nearly 25 percent of deaths among those treated for chemical dependency are due to suicide.
- Each year, there are more addiction-related deaths than vehicle-related deaths.
Based on these statistics we have made it our mission to build a treatment model that has a much higher success rate.
One phone call is all it takes to learn more and change a life. Please don't hesitate to call for yourself or for a loved one.
Our addiction specialists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We accept major insurances. Private pay options are available including third party financing. Call our addiction specialists for help with your individual circumstances.

Hazardous materials crews were on the scene Monday at the IRS building in Ogden, Utah, where one person was removed on a stretcher and several others were undergoing decontamination showers.
The FBI released no information about the incident at the IRS facility in the Farr West area of Ogden, about 30 miles from Salt Lake City, but local reports suggested that a suspicious white powder may have been found in mail delivered to the facility.
The incident began about 11 a.m. (1 p.m. ET) Monday, 11 days after a Texas man embroiled in a years-long dispute with the IRS crashed his small plane into the agency's complex in Austin, Texas.

The nation's largest producer of country ham and specialty smoked meats is right in the Midwest. Located a few miles south of California, Mo., Burgers' Smoke House is still operating on the original site where founder E. M. Burger smoked the first ham he sold in the mid-1920s.
The nation's largest producer of country ham and specialty smoked meats is right in the Midwest. Located a few miles south of California, Mo., Burgers' Smoke House is still operating on the original site where founder E. M. Burger smoked the first ham he sold in the mid-1920s. Burgers' Smokehouse is committed to producing quality meats, president Steven Burger said. "Our focus first and foremost is developing the best flavor that we can," Burger said. E.M. Burger died in 1972 and left his son Morris to run the family business. In the late 1990s, the third generation of Burgers took over the responsibility of managing the company. According to Steven Burger, 1952 is generally referred to as the actual beginning of the company. E.M. Burger sold 1,000 hams that year. This prompted him to build the "Ham House," a 1,500-square-foot structure. That first building is now part of the 283,859-square-foot complex. Burgers' cures more than 750,000 hams annually. "We are a legacy business and feel we have been good stewards of the company by remaining true to the values of prior generations," Burger said. Burgers' Smokehouse keeps old traditions alive while embracing new technology. With the ability to have climate-controlled rooms, meats can be processed year-round. A water knife is used to precisely cut the meats. The ham steaks are fed in on a conveyor belt. They pass under a camera, then a computer determines the best way to cut each steak with two 40,000-psi water jets. One jet trims half of the steak and the second trims the other half, Burger said. Before venturing into the deli and retail area, people are encouraged to walk through the onsite indoor visitors center. Three dioramas depicting the seasons of the Ozarks are the main attractions. An old-fashioned water wheel pushes running water through all three of the realistic dioramas. Missouri's four seasons played a major role in the curing process before electricity was available to create artificial temperatures. Butchering and curing meats were done in the wintertime to prevent spoilage. Light airy spring days dried the meats and the summer heat was necessary for aging. Family pictures, trophies won by family members in county ham competitions, letters from customers and other memorabilia are in the next section. A two-and-half story summertime diorama dominates the area. Pictures of the Burger family and other memorabilia highlighting the company's history are proudly displayed. After touring the visitors center, people are directed into the main entrance of the facility were a cozy living room setting, complete with a fireplace, welcomes guests. The next section is a deli where visitors can treat themselves to one of Burgers' fresh sandwiches. Beyond the deli and retail section is the Ole Days Theatre, where a documentary video is shown. The tour of the plant is narrated by family members. "We stopped doing tours inside the plant about 10 years ago because of liability issues," Burger said. After stocking up on country ham and bacon, head into the city of California to the Cultural Heritage Center. The center has more than 24 displays, including hands-on attractions for children. "We have a little bit of everything. We principally cover the turn of the century," museum chairman Richard Schroeder said. "It is very unique because it is colorful and artistically done in an entertaining manner." The museum is closed until April. However, Schroeder will open the museum for groups of five or more with advance notice. Contact him at 573-796-2250. Burgers' Smokehouse is located on Route 87, three miles south of the junction with Highway 50. Contact this reporter at firstname.lastname@example.com.

For most organizations, success depends on value-added service differentiation, with operational margins adding to revenue generation. Agility for service differentiation is leading organizations to build applications from existing, pre-built applications and services, as well as integrating new capabilities into existing functionality by creating composite applications. "Application composition" is a style of application design characterized by rapid configurability, enabling business workflows through assembly of customizable and configurable re fabricated assets and can be deployed at runtime to access diverse enterprise resources and are required for executing the business scenarios while taking advantage of standardized based processes. Applications designed using such a style are called "composite applications". "Hybrid composite applications" are a subcategory of composite applications where the a single composite is developed as well as deployed in distributed environment. Service-component architectures (SCA) which provide a simplified component programming model for implementing business services provide one way by which composite applications can be built.
Elastic computing has made it possible for organizations to use cloud computing and a minimum of computing resources to build and deploy a new generation of applications. Using the capabilities provided by the cloud, enterprises can quickly create hybrid composite applications on the cloud using the best practices of service-component architectures (SCA).
Since SCA promotes all the best practices used in service-oriented architectures (SOA), building composite applications using SCA is one of the best guidelines for creating cloud-based composite applications. Applications created using several different runtimes running on the cloud can be leveraged to create a new component , as well as hybrid composite applications which scale on-demand with private/public cloud models can also be built using secure transport data channels.
In this article, we show how to build and integrate composite applications using Apache Tuscany, the Eucalyptus open source cloud framework, and OpenVPN to create a hybrid composite application. To show that distributed applications comprising of composite modules (distributed across the cloud and enterprise infrastructure) can be integrated and function as a single unit using SCA without compromising on security, we create a composite application that components spread over different domains distributed across the cloud and the enterprise infrastructure. We then use SCA to host and integrate this composite application so that it fulfills the necessary functional requirements. To ensure information and data security, we set up a virtual private network (VPN) between the different domains (cloud and enterprise), creating a point-to-point encrypted network which provides secure information exchange between the two environments.
The technologies and tools we use include:
- Apache Tuscany, a lightweight architectural platform which facilitates integration of composite applications based on the guidelines specified by Open Service Component Architecture (OASIS OpenSCA). Integrated applications developed in different languages, spanning across multiple domains can be integrated using this platform. In this article, we use Apache Tuscany SCA as the primary infrastructure solution for creating and hosting the domains, components etc. These domains will be spread across the cloud and enterprise infrastructure, thus creating a composite application.
- Eucalyptus Open Cloud, short for "Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems," is an open source cloud infrastructure solution which implements cloud computing infrastructure. It is currently API compatible with Amazon EC2, S3 and EBS. We use the Eucalyptus Cloud as the cloud platform on which a part of the composite application resides. Because that Eucalyptus Open Cloud is interface compatible with Amazon AWS, the techniques presented here are also for public clouds like Amazon AWS.
- OpenVPN is an open source VPN solution which provides private, secure data tunnels between point-to-point or server-to-multiclient networks. It uses OpenSSL-based encryption for data and control channel security. We use OpenVPN to create a virtual private network for providing secure and encrypted information and data transfer between the enterprise infrastructure and the cloud.
Deployment Architecture: Incorporating Apache Tuscany SCA and OpenVPN Over a Hybrid Environment
As Figure 1 illustrates, we developed a simple distributed composite application which uses the web service binding provided by Apache Tuscany SCA to communicate between the client (Domain 2, hosted on enterprise infrastructure) and the server (Domain 1, hosted on the cloud). The part of the application which is hosted on the enterprise system references a component exposed as a service on the cloud; resulting in the creation of a seamlessly integrated composite application spread over the cloud and enterprise infrastructure.
Security was one of our chief concerns when developing applications spread over diverse domains and using the Internet as the primary medium for connectivity. We used OpenVPN for a secure tunnel for information and data transfers. The tunnel is built only after certificate validations at multiple layers; the data sent over this tunnel is encrypted. This provides enterprise-level security for application compartmentalization and integration.
In this example, our application, hosted on the local infrastructure, calls a remote service hosted on the cloud. A message provided by this remote service is displayed in the local environment. Domain 1, the domain residing on the local infrastructure, hosts a composite compromising of a single component. This component will reference a service hosted on Domain 2, hosted on the cloud. The binding used here is web service binding. SCA provides the capability for changing the binding protocol with the change of a single line in the composite. The service-oriented structure provided by this architecture ensures that the inner-level design implementation or composition will in no way be affected by this. The security blanket offered by the VPN tunnel will take care of the security loopholes that may pop up during any change in the mode of communication by the composite application.

First of all, I am aware of the questions about the Zariski topology asked here and I am also aware of the discussion at the Secret Blogging Seminar. But I could not find an answer to a question that bugged me right from my first steps in algebraic geometry: how can I really motivate the Zariski topology on a scheme?
For example in classical algebraic geometry over an algebraically closed field I can define the Zariski topology as the coarsest $T_1$-topology such that all polynomial functions are continuous. I think that this is a great definition when I say that I am working with polynomials and want to make my algebraic set into a local ringed space. But what can I say in the general case of an affine scheme?
Of course I can say that I want to have a fully faithful functor from rings into local ringed spaces and this construction works, but this is not a motivation.
For example for the prime spectrum itself, all motivations I came across so far are as follows: well, over an algebraically closed field we can identify the points with maximal ideals, but in general inverse images of maximal ideals are not maximal ideals, so let's just take prime ideals and...wow, it works. But now that I know that one gets the prime spectrum from the corresponding functor (one can of course also start with a functor) by imposing an equivalence relation on geometric points (which I find very geometric!), I finally found a great motivation for this. What is left is the Zariski topology, and so far I just came across similar strange motivations as above...

Henderson Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in Henderson there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement Henderson Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in Henderson. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
Auto Glass For Classic Cars?
Despite what the kids might think, cars were around when their parents were young. Glass had been invented by then and was even around during their grandparent's time. Sometimes it comes as a shock that anything cool existed before video games and cell phones, but classic cars are definitely cool. When windows need to be replaced, lovers of classic vehicles cannot always turn to the regular auto body repair shop where they get their 2011 Ford windows fixed. The right pieces of glass are not typically in stock, and not all windows fit every make and model of car.
Patterns for auto glass were different forty, fifty, and sixty years ago. There are special patterns for each type of vehicle which specialist auto glass replacement and repair shops have access to. Although tools used to cut this glass are more technically advanced compared to those which cut glass 50 and more years ago, the glass is cut precisely to fit into the windshield of an old-fashioned Desoto, Hudson, Studebaker, or other pre-1960 model. A number of auto body shops specializing in repairing old automobiles possess a library of patterns. If the one a customer wants is not available on-site, they will order the pattern. These professionals appreciate the beauty of an older vehicle and the history around its creation.
If you are still uncertain about which company to give your business to, websites often post pictures of cars they have helped to restore. Use these to find out if a company seems to know what it is doing. Although there are specialist auto body outfits all over the country, finding exactly the right professional for the job is worth a road trip if you needed an excuse for one.
Three Reasons to Repair Your Windshield Chip Instead of Replacing the Windshield
With 5.1% of windshields being damaged and requiring replacement each year in the United States, it is important to know what to look for in an auto glass service technician. The first thing that must be stated about choosing a qualified technician may be somewhat cliché. However, it is important to remember that you do get what you pay for, and windshield replacement is highly germane to this point.
Ask Questions
When selecting an auto glass service provider, start by simply asking questions. Find out if the technician is NGA (National Glass Association) certified to be professionally competent in his line of work. Ask if the technician uses the auto manufacturer' recommended products. Also find out if the technician has agreed to meet the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS). Above all, be sure the technician intends to provide you with sufficient information regarding all things pertinent. The technician should provide you with some dos and don'ts, such as how much time should be allowed for the bond to cure before the vehicle is safe to drive.
Although it may sound a bit excessive, make sure the windshield is perfectly centered on the vehicle. A misplaced windshield will not provide a structurally sound passenger compartment in the event of a collision or rollover. Also inspect the weather stripping to ensure it fits tightly against the vehicle's body with no bumps, waves, or gaps. If the replacement windshield on your vehicle is not completely bonded to the vehicle, the windshield may become detached in the event of an accident, leading to even greater chance of serious injury or death.
