Ever wondered what The Ramones would sound like if they were (all) alive today and also female? Wonder no longer, as Charli XCX is out with a new single off of her upcoming LP Sucker, and it's what she calls "future Ramones."
"London Queen," which premiered Monday (October 6) on Rolling Stone, definitely has shades of the Ramones' "Beat On The Brat" -- just listen to that driving beat and the cadence of the lyric in which Charli spits "with a baseball bat" (a line also found in the Ramones classic). And then there's all those "oi!"s.
The old-school punk rock vibe comes as no surprise, as Charli has said that her upcoming album was influenced by that genre. Still, the "Boom Clap" singer asserts her role in the new wave of female alt-poppers in the chorus of the jam, produced by Sky Ferreira collaborator Justin Raisen: "I never thought I'd be living in the USA/ Doing things the American way/ I never thought I'd be living in the USA/ Living the dream like a London queen."
Reign on, lady! Sucker drops December 16 -- but you can get more Charli below via her performance of "Break The Rules" today on "Big Morning Buzz Live."

Twenty-eight-year-old Mara Picazo has embarked on a new career, one she never envisioned: construction.
"I actually never thought I would be able to do it," Picazo said, alluding to her diminutive frame.
At age 45, Che Derrera has gone from an indoor office job to traffic signal apprentice.
"There's pros and cons," Derrera said, during a brief break from his job. "Out here in like 12-degree weather sometimes, it's kind of hard."
CGTN's Hendrik Sybrandy reports.
They're two of some 700 people who've enrolled in WorkNow, a one-year-old city of Denver program that hires people to work on big infrastructure projects, like Central 70, the $1 billion plus renovation of Interstate 70.
"There was a real concern by both contractors and project owners and also training programs that we need to do a better job at broadening the pipeline and getting more workers into the industry," said Katrina Wert with Community College of Denver-based Center for Workforce Initiatives.
Wert said the low U.S. unemployment rate of 4.0 percent and an aging workforce have helped cause a 30,000 worker shortfall in the construction industry in the Denver metro area alone.
That's why the Colorado Homebuilding Academy and a dozen other schools and organizations have teamed up to prepare local residents for construction careers, training them if necessary.
"A lot of these folks haven't picked up a hammer before or a power tool," said Robert Hernandez, the Academy's Operations Manager. "So we're teaching them the absolute basics and the foundation. How to do it properly, how to do it safely."
WorkNow relies on a variety of public and private funding. It provides a menu of job-related services to employees, including child care, transportation, right down to work boots.
"The intake process starts with an assessment," Wert said. "Who are you, what are your strengths, where do you want to go in this industry. And then services are determined from that point."
Wert said these kind of major construction projects can sometimes have a negative effect on surrounding neighborhoods. So WorkNow strives to create economic opportunities for people who live there.
"It is the responsibility of us as citizens of Denver to ensure that we're looking out for our neighbors," she said.
Other U.S. cities are doing very similar things. Picazo, who works for Sturgeon Electric Company, hopes to start her own company one day.
"I guess I like hard work," Picazo said. "I like to prove myself. So a challenge is always good."
"It's a little late to change career path," Derrera, who also works for Sturgeon Electric, said. "But the opportunity and camaraderie of the guys I work with, it was a smooth transition."
Coordinating all of its moving parts has been a challenge for WorkNow but with more big-scale work on the way in Denver, the need to attract quality labor is not going away.
"We're making construction sexy again," Hernandez said with a laugh.

Well I have been too busy/tired this weekend to get any scrapping time in! : ( But we have been busy making "scrapbook moments"! I have a TON of new pictures to be downloaded, edited, printed! We renewed our membership to the Brookfield zoo, so we went on Sunday and had a good time till it started to rain and get chilly! The boys were SOO excited to go to the zoo and see all the animals in real life! They both said their favorite animal was the rhinoceros! He was very close to the edge and walking around, which they loved! Then as were taking out last potty break before we went home dh surprised the boys and bought them each a stuffed snake! They loved them SO much they slept with them in the car on the way home!
Yesterday we went to IKEA with one of my friends and her little boy, and I got a REAL TREAT!! IKEA has a kid's play area that kids between a certain height can play in for 1 hour for FREE! I had heard about it from my neighbor, but NEVER let the boys go in. Well we walked in right behind a family going there and they heard and wanted to go too! After making sure Nicholas was going to be big enough I asked the boys if they really wanted to do it and told them I would not be there. They could care less about me!! They NEVER looked back once they were told they could go! I was sad they didn't even say goodbye to me! But let me tell you 1 hour of shopping without them was UNBELIEVABLE!!! I NEVER get to shop child FREE so this was a treat!! 1 hour goes a lot FASTER than you would think! I was worried about them not wanting to leave and giving the ladies a hard time, but they came right out and were good! They LOVED getting to jump into the ball pit! They did confess that they got in trouble for throwing the balls! Gotta love the honesty! And I was informed Joseph went potty while there. I am SURE it was just to check out the bathroom! He takes after my grandfather and wants to go potty in EVERY store we go to!! Annoying! But I have figured out that is his game and I don't allow him to go in EVERY store now, and knock on wood he hasn't had an accident from not going either!
And lastly some eye candy. Here is one of my LO's I was working on last week and finally got a picture taken of it! The other one I did last week I have decided to enter into the Guest Design Team contest at Back Porch Memories, so you'll have to go there and find it in the August Guest Design Team folder. You'll NEVER believe its mine!! Its a girl LO!!! I used a picture of my niece Susan when she was in for a visit in April! ARGH!!!! I just went to retake one of the pics as it didn't come out well and now my LESS than 1 year old camera isn't working!!! It turned on the lens came out and turned off!!! I just put new batteries in, but tried new just in case!! NO LUCK!! So now the lens is out and the camera won't turn on!!!! Its ALWAYS something!!! Now I hope I can get this figured out!! So here is the bad unedited pic and hopefully I can fix my camera problem now!!!

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- An ArtPrize artist from Cleveland decided to connect even more with his work about homelessness by spending a night at a downtown homeless shelter on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
Artist Loren Naji was invited by Mel Trotter Ministries to spend the night inside their shelter because his ArtPrize entry, "Emoh: sculpture / time capsule & temporary home," was designed to raise awareness about issues surrounding homelessness.
"Homelessness can be any of us," said Abbey Sladick, director of communications at Mel Trotter. "Understanding the face of homelessness was a great opportunity for Loren to come in and see who homeless people are, that they're not very different from us."
For the duration of ArtPrize, Naji plans to live inside his shelter which is shaped like a ball and was built using debris from abandoned homes.
It is located outside Kilwin's Chocolates & Ice Cream at McKay Tower, across from Rosa Parks Circle.
Emoh is "home" spelled backward.
Before his stay at Mel Trotter, Naji said he got into an important discussion with a homeless man.
"There was a homeless person who said I am doing art about homelessness, and pretending I'm homeless, but I have a place to go to and I'm playing the game," said Naji. "I actually agreed with him very much."
"I said 'That's something to talk about. I'd like to further discuss that because that's a flaw in my art'" said Naji. "I'm representing them but rah, rah, rah, but I'm not really homeless."
Mel Trotter put Naji through their shelter's dinner line and gave him a bed inside one of their program rooms. Naji was well-received by many of the homeless and got into several discussions about his work.
"Homelessness is very complex. There's many people that are homeless for many different reasons," he said. "They're not all just people sitting around begging for money."
Naji said if he wins ArtPrize, he will donate $20,000 to homeless charities.
"If I win ArtPrize, first of all, I'd sort of owe it to the homeless. My art is about homelessness," he said. "So to take the money and run would be a little bit exploiting their situation."
"I would at least like to give back."
One thing Loren would like to change about the homeless shelter?
He thinks it needs more artwork.
"I wanted to see art all over the walls. It was very stark," said Naji.
Sladick said she loved Naji's ideas.
"We have often thought about how can we make this a more dignified, welcoming space for guests because this is a space of healing," said Sladick. "Art is so often a way for people to heal."
In the meantime, Mel Trotter is getting ready for ArtPrize crowds to come into their neighborhood.
"We love ArtPrize. We love the opportunity to have the diversity and all the people down here," said Sladick. "Especially being in the Heartside area, it's a great opportunity to bring awareness to people who are experiencing homelessness and kind of break down those stigmas.

C.O.P.S - Virtual Reality Simulation Systems Ltd
The C.O.P.S product was designed to support the Police with a new form of vocational training, the Police were looking for a more interactive and engaging way to train new and current staff taking over from the current use of video in their Hydra system. As way to pilot a prototype platform VRSS partners with Gwent Police –here we combined our expertise in creating engaging 3D virtual learning tools with Gwent's knowledge of the learning required for it's force. We agreed to build an trial a virtual learning platform which delivered training in a CAVE (Computer Assisted Virtual Environment). Users were dropped into various scenarios and were allowed to choose different paths as a way to address incidents as they occurred in the simulation. VR Simulation Systems use a combination of fixed and random scenarios to deliver specific learning objectives. Simulation has been demonstrated to develop situational awareness and decision making with increased knowledge retention, enabling behavioural change. Our new development product, Computer Operated Police Simulator (C.O.P.S), is being used to augment technical and non-technical skills for the UK Police. Our simulations combine the use of Caves and Virtual Reality headsets to ensure that users become fully immersed whilst undertaking specific activities.

Citizen Literacy App - City Of Glasgow College
Our project is based on the first UK phonics-based adult literacy course accredited by City and Guilds (Entry Level 1), developed and operated by City of Glasgow College (COGC), changing lives across the city and West of Scotland. We want to build upon this success and create a free smartphone app to deliver literacy training in a creative way with technology. The app will feature interactive multimedia gameplay, with handwriting and voice recognition to facilitate user data entry to complete exercises, containing links to local adult literacy training providers.
The app can be used to support the delivery of F2F phonics-based literacy courses or be used in standalone mode to allow learners to develop at their own pace, overcoming the considerable social stigma that can be attached to low literacy levels. It will provide the foundation for further app development to support new revenue generating F2F literacy courses developed by the COGC and the consortium.
The main technical component of Citizens Literacy will comprise the development of a smartphone app (iOS & Android) that can be used with or without a user account (to store progress and personalisation). User-generated data can be stored locally or in a cloud database associated with an account. App content data flow size will be small to keep user costs down.

Developing Technical Skills For Manufacturing Through Digital Learning - Fashion Enter
A major skills gap has been identified for garment construction and the required technical skills to create garments to the correct client spec. The industry fails to attract newcomers and relies on imported labour mainly from the EU (Sector Skills Council). Since Brexit there has been a net decrease of workers into the UK of 70,000 people and this has had a damaging effect on the revival and growth of garment manufacturing in the UK.
Fashion Flyers (interactive resource) within a blended learning programme will create a bridge for learning, that can be remotely accessed. ABC Awards (now SEG) confirmed that their fastest growing qualification is the level 1 Award in Textiles (Stitching) which FEL wrote with ABC in 2010. Students will follow the standard curriculum for the Level 1 ABC award but parts of the complex technical units will be embedded through interactive videos.
An interactive resource will be based on the learner understanding how to set up and use industrial sewing machines correctly and safely. The product FEL will produce will create a training environment that is deliberately contravening SMETA and Fast Forward audit rules. Using existing machinists the script will be developed to ensure that a wide cross section of mistakes will be videoed that will be identified by the learner by either touching the app on mobile phones or dragging the mouse on PCs. Examples of mistakes will include incorrect lighting, incorrect machine threading, tight stitch tensions, incorrect machine oil levels, long hair not tied back, wearing jewellery, snips not attached to the machine, needle guard not in use, incorrect posture and chair, lose leads, old machines, excess use of lint on machines, untidy work area, machine draws open et al. In order to identify each mistake, the learner must touch the screen at the appropriate place to answer the question correctly.

Gamification In Construction - The Manchester College
This gamification product aimed at construction learners will engross the most difficult to engage learners, developing their digital and transferable employability skills through tasks and activities set within a real world of work virtual environment.
Getting access to a live, working construction site for a group of students can take considerable time and planning for construction departments. As a result, students can't spend as much time experiencing the real world of construction as educators would like. This product software bridges the gap between education and the real world of construction, giving students the opportunity to fully explore the environment, tools, materials, machinery and building techniques of a virtual construction site.
Through increasingly challenging tasks learners will build increasingly complex structures, from simple single storey buildings (a shed or a bungalow) to super structures. They will be able to realise their constructions through the effective application of skills, such as creative thinking and problem-solving.
Through a range of platforms learners will be able to access the application at home, in college workshops, or at work through their own mobile devices and they will be able to share and develop their outcomes with their peers.

Mechanic Matchup - South West College
Beginner mechanics are tasked with learning procedures, they typically learn by using written material or by watching a mechanic show them the procedure. For many learners this is a less than ideal way to learn the sequences required before attempting the actual procedure. Research shows that VR is an effective tool for training. Currently VR is most suited to training cognitive skills related to remembering spatial and visual information and knowledge (Schöne, B., Wessels, M. & Gruber, T. Current Psychology 2017).
Within the modern classrooms there are more distractions than ever, students routinely check their phones distracting them from the learning experience. VR training allows for isolation and freedom from distractions as the users are totally immersed inside the headset. The more engagement and interactivity the user experiences the less they feel the urge to procrastinate.
Mechanic Matchup is an immersive training system that trains players how to conduct motor vehicle maintenance procedures in a competitive virtual reality game. Using the latest VR technology we plan to use a game based teaching method to train naive and experienced mechanics how to conduct multiple procedures.
[VR also has the advantage of teaching learners potentially dangerous tasks within a simulated environment. If a player becomes overwhelmed or makes too many mistakes, they can easily take off the headset and try again. This makes VR ideal for usage within pressurised environments such as a garage.]

Spotless - Solutions 42
Infection outbreaks are like fires, they don't happen frequently but when they do, the situation is an emergency. They require dealing with promptly and effectively, to prevent catastrophic outcomes of avoidable deaths. Emergencies like these, require practicing actions and developing the skills necessary for containment before the situation arises. This is what project 'Spotless' aims to do. 'Spotless' project intends to use scenario-based e-learning, contextualised to the learner's environment (in this instance a care home) instead of just producing compliance e-learning. The learner will find themselves having to immediately decide how they are going to manage the hygienic care of a resident and the surrounding environment, when that resident just vomited in a communal dining area. Not only will this engage the learners mentally but also collaboratively, as they will begin to consider their local policies, systems and processes as well as the part they play in the outcome and within the team. The learner can choose as they are going through the scenes at what point they wish to access additional learning resources such as; video tutorials, job aids, reference links and other guides.

Tech For Textiles - Blackburn College
Blackburn College and employers will work in partnership to create and enhance current technology and approaches for training skills in the Textiles industry. Through the use of cutting-edge technologies in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), this project looks to bring core training manuals to life, that illustrate working practice and enable learners to continue developing their skills in an interactive self-paced manner.
Having identified three key areas where skill development in this sector need to be addressed, AR and VR have been proposed as possible solutions for developing an interactive learning package. These technologies have the potential to enable learners to remotely immerse themselves in the workplace, building their understanding and experience of their potential future job role. Furthermore, these technologies will also enhance in-classroom learning by providing support to teachers, allowing learners to engage in more self-driven learning sessions. Utilising a bespoke technical solution, especially technology accessible from learners own devices, will improve engagement, understanding and perception of the modern textile industry.

The NYA Learning Hub - The National Youth Agency
The NYA Learning Hub will provide a vocational learning platform and collaborative learning space for the UK Youth Work Sector. Workforce development within the Sector is limited and the number of qualified youth workers continues to fall while the need for the specialist skills they require increases at a significant rate. Added to this there is little opportunity for learning to underpin career progression or indeed to enable the many volunteers working with young people to gain the skills they need to access vacancies for paid employment within the Sector. Our project will combine NYA's expertise in working with young people and understanding of their needs and the learning needs of those supporting them with the digital expertise of Agylia to develop the NYA Learning Hub and pilot this with 100 individuals working with young people from 4 specific sectors – Public Sector (e.g. local authorities); Third Sector (youth and community organisations) Uniformed Services (Police Cadets) and Sports Clubs (Premier League).

The Open Networking Lab Accessibility Project - The Open University
Nationally, there are over 2 million people with sight loss, with 360,000 registered as blind or partially sighted. Approximately 25% of those with partial sight loss are employed, but this decreases to 10% for those who are blind. There is an urgent need to enable blind and visually impaired people to gain better access to the job market.
This project will allow visually impaired learners to acquire basic computer networking skills through the use of accessible network simulation software. To achieve this we will build upon and extend an established network simulation tool to offer an accessible interface for conducting network simulations. We will collaborate with the Royal National College for the Blind (RNC), members of the vision impaired and broader disability community, and accessibility specialists at The Open University (OU) to identify user requirements and test the new developments. This project aligns with the UK Government Education Technology Strategy (03/04/19) to use 'innovative tech to level the playing field for people with special educational needs and disabilities – identifying the technology that best suits individual needs'

Stocking stuffers! www.etsy.com/shop/sugarbeetcrafts
Hello Everybody!
I just wanted to drop a quick line because I have been super busy making new stuff for my Etsy store.
I created a new line called Glitter Junk! It started off as just a fun project for myself. I love glitter and have been really into it this season. I wanted glittery jewelry that was not to child like, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. So I decided to make my own!
I loved it so much and received so many compliments I decided to make a bunch for the Etsy site.
These charms are so fun and really pretty. They sparkle at every angle and have an awesome 3D effect. Each one takes about 3 days to make and every one is unique.
My favorite part of crafting is having an idea or vision in my head and then actually fabricating it into something real. Working with resin is kind of a challenge, especially when working in a small space.
In the end, I am super happy with how they came out….too happy, its hard to part with them. Me and sparkly go hand in hand!
I would love to know what you think! They are at https://www.etsy.com/shop/SugarBeetCrafts
more items coming soon.
I hope you enjoy!
Rock meets Glam!

It is hard to believe to see how close the riders can get to Giraffe, Zebra and many other antelopes on Pakamisa Game Reserve.
I am spending three days of my "off time" at the reserve taking images of the lodge, the reserve and the beautiful horses on their game trails.
For me it is the second time on Pakamisa, but I certainly will be back. Horseback safaris are a great addition to a South African safari experience as they provide very close encounters in an area without dangerous game.
Have a look at Pakamisa's website: http://www.pakamisa.co.za
PS: Unfortunately I cannot ride the Arab Horses at Pakamisa 😦 My portly figure is a bit to heavy for these beautiful creatures :-), so I took these pictures from a game vehicle.

General Frank Savage, from Twelve O'Clock High, via IMDB:
There will be a briefing for a practice mission at 1100 this morning. That's right, practice. I've been sent here to take over what has come to be known as a hard luck group. Well, I don't believe in hard luck. So we're going to find out what the trouble is. Maybe part of it's your flying, so we're going back to fundamentals. But I can tell you now one reason I think you've been having hard luck. I saw it in your faces last night. I can see it there now. You've been looking at a lot of air lately… and you think you ought to have a rest. In short, you're sorry for yourselves. I don't have a lot of patience with this, "What are we fighting for?" stuff. We're in a war, a shooting war. We've got to fight. And some of us have got to die. I'm not trying to tell you not to be afraid. Fear is normal. But stop worrying about it and about yourselves. Stop making plans. Forget about going home. Consider yourselves already dead. Once you accept that idea, it won't be so tough. Now if any man here can't buy that… if he rates himself as something special, with a special kind of hide to be saved… he'd better make up his mind about it right now. Because I don't want him in this group. I'll be in my office in five minutes. You can see me there.
Barack H. Obama, a/k/a Dumbo, via Bruce McQuain, Questions and Observations:
"We had reversed the recession, avoided a depression, gotten the economy moving again," Obama told a crowd in Decorah, Iowa. "But over the last six months we've had a run of bad luck." Obama listed three events overseas — the Arab Spring uprisings, the tsunami in Japan, and the European debt crises — which set the economy back.
"All those things have been headwinds for our economy," Obama said. "Now, those are things that we can't completely control. The question is, how do we manage these challenging times and do the right things when it comes to those things that we can control?"
"The problem," Obama continued, "is that we've got the kind of partisan brinksmanship that is willing to put party ahead of country, that is more interested in seeing their political opponents lose than seeing the country win. Nowhere was that more evident than in this recent debt ceiling debacle."
Reax, Dr. Milton R. Wolf, Washington Examiner:
Mr. Obama, meet the late Robert A. Heinlein, a Naval Academy midshipman-turned-influential-author, who decades before you entered the Oval Office presciently described your administration. It was Heinlein who penned one of the most insightful observations ever of human nature:
"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded – here and there, now and then – are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as 'bad luck.' "
Mr. President, you didn't run into bad luck. You created it.
Reax, McQuain:
If unsupported claims were currency, Barack Obama would be a rich man
Rick Perry, from Michael Falcone et al, Note:
"You know yesterday, the president said I needed to watch what I say," Perry said. "I just want to respond back, if I may. Mr. President, actions speak louder than words. My actions as governor are helping create jobs in this country. The president's actions are killing jobs in this country. It's time to get America working again."
Good leaders make their luck. Dumbo makes excuses.
Dumbo's Magical Misery Tour bus made in Canada, from New York Post, via Ed Morrissey, Hot Air:
President Obama is barnstorming the heartland to boost US jobs in a taxpayer-financed luxury bus the government had custom built — in Canada, The Post has learned.
The $1.1 million vehicle, one of two that Quebec-based Prevost sold the government, has been tricked out by the Secret Service with state-of-the-art security features and creature comforts.
It's a VIP H3-45 model, the company's top of the line, and is used by major traveling rock bands.
"That's the more luxurious model," Christine Garant of Prevost told The Post.
Reax, Morrissey:
Barack Obama — rock star. Yes, that's exactly the kind of image that wins votes in the upper Midwest. That's bad enough, but buying two buses from a Canadian company while promising to create jobs in the US is the worst kind of optics imaginable. Why not use a manufacturer based in the US? I'm certain that Complete Coach Works in California could use the work, for instance, or North American Bus Industries in Alabama. Setra USA manufactures its buses in Greensboro, North Carolina, a key state that Obama could easily lose in 2012. Wouldn't a $2.2 million buy there have turned a few heads? For that matter, Obama could have bought them from Motor Coach Industries and picked them up in his home state of Illinois at the start of his tour.
Should have rented the bus from Sarah Palin.

It's no secret that Robert Shiller considers American stocks to be expensive. For years, he has been pointing out that his preferred valuation metric, the cyclically adjusted price-earnings (CAPE) ratio, suggests an anomalous level of overvaluation for U.S. equities.
Yet it is striking to note what this style of analysis would instruct investors to buy instead.
While the U.S. has the highest CAPE ratio, "the lowest CAPE ratio of the 26 countries [analyzed] is Russia," Shiller said Tuesday on CNBC's "Trading Nation."
The Yale professor of economics and Nobel laureate added that "I'm thinking about" investing in Russia "when [the ratio] is this low."
The cyclically adjusted price-earnings ratio, which Shiller helped to develop and popularize, compares the current level of a given index to the last 10 years of earnings reported by the companies within that index, adjusted for inflation.
The idea is to consider corporate earnings power across the breadth of the business cycle, rather than to simply look at what earnings have been over the past year or are expected to be in the next year.
The ratio has shown for some time that American stocks are overvalued. At this point, Shiller's data show that the CAPE ratio for the U.S. currently comes in at nearly 31, which is higher than ever before save for the dot-com bubble and a brief period in 1929.
Some, most notably Wharton professor of finance and perennial Shiller sparring partner Jeremy Siegel, have taken issue with the conclusions Shiller takes from the CAPE's current level.
Meanwhile, while insisting that U.S. stocks are indeed overvalued, even Shiller readily acknowledges that long-term valuation measures make poor short-term market timing tools.
"I don't really want to encourage people too much to put a lot into the most expensive market in the world, but I wouldn't pull it all out either," he said Tuesday.
Yet he would certainly encourage investors to consider committing more money abroad.
"Europe is generally low, the U.K. is low, and they're great countries, so why not. Why would you put all of your money in the U.S.?"
As far as Russia goes — with its tantalizing sub-7 CAPE ratio, according to the most recently available data from Siblis Research – Shiller adds that he's "not going to advocate" investing there.
"I might do a little Russia, but I haven't yet," he said.
The VanEck Vectors Russia ETF is up 3 percent this year, but has tumbled 29 percent over the past three years, with the decline in energy prices serving as a serious drag.

Staying on Track - Life on Life's Terms
Life seems a little bit like a railroad track. It has two parallel paths, one positive, and the other negative. One rail shapes us, and the other rail blesses us, but both are leading in the same direction. There is something unique about the "T," it has a "third rail" electrified with thousands of volts. It's the one with the power. Without out, millions of commuters would be at a stand still. Like the experiences that shape us, and the ones that bless us, it too is going in the same direction providing power for the journey.
That is how life has been for us these past few weeks. From our 6th wedding anniversary to a wake for a friend of the family, we've needed all the rails beneath us. It seems one track always seems to bear the weight, but all are necessary to keep the train on course. And so the Johndrow' have managed celebration and death, the passage of unemployment to employment, the separation of our foster child, the joy of watching our 21-year-old go to Europe and return safely and a couple of graduations. I am not sure which experiences shaped us, but I do know that my wife and children have been a blessing.
As I am thinking about the third rail, I began to remember the distinctive smell of carbon-- the electricity powers the engines by carbon contacts that contact the rail. It is a very distinct odor that is slightly metalic, yet somewhat sweet in it's own way. There was one other thing that happened these past few weeks -- it was a third rail experience. I had a chance to meet with a friend of my brother's for lunch. He is a writer and passionate worship leader. I didn't really know why were getting together-- but I just felt like I should. It turned out to be a very enjoyable time in the Lord. Just sweet in it's own way.

One can never know where we will be taken in our daily travels. A chance meeting, a new path, and fellow ship in Jesus name all supported by that third rail.

Hi, David,
I think most events in our life shape us as does our response to them. I will give you a personal comparison.
In 1996, when my cousin and spiritual mother, Connie, passed away from cancer at the age of 49, I became extremely angry at God. The One I came to believe in and trust had let me down sorely.
My sorrow was greater than my love for God so I took a long, lonely journey into the wilderness. At my departure, I whispered, "Jesus, keep my spirit sweet towards you" and took my first steps onto the desert's sand and mourned.
The words of Jesus, "What the Father has given me shall in nowise be plucked out of my hand" proved to be true and He began to woo me.
It took quite some time for me to warm up to and fully trust Him again but He was in no hurry, He understood. Eventually, I dusted the sand off of my feet and began to walk the green pastures of my Shepherd, again. His prodigal daughter returned home in 2001.
By all tests results, Pat had a 4 year, clean, bill of health from breast cancer. So in the fall of 2007, it came as a great shock that the small twinge of pain Pat had been experiencing on occasion was the breast cancer that had mastasised to the bones on her left side including the ribs and the entire length of her spine.
Pat is my sister-in-law of 47 years but she was much more than that to me. Due to circumstances too detailed to mention, Pat became my surrogate mother. We were as close as any mother, daughter, sister or best friend could be.
After hearing the news, I prayed daily on her behalf for healing. One day, about 10 months into her chemotherapy, while in prayer, I asked God if He was going to heal Pat. In the most gentle voice I heard Him ask, "Janet, if I choose not to heal Pat, will you turn on me in anger again like you did when Connie died?" I knew what this meant, Pat was going to die and God was asking me to make a choice.
In a split second, thoughts of protests swam through my mind. No, not Pat. "How can you keep doing this to me?", I questioned. "First my daddy, then Connie, then my health and now Pat. All that I hold dear is being taken away from me. It just doesn't seem fair."
My heart was breaking from the forewarned knowledge of Pat's death, yet Jesus, the lover of my heart was asking me if I was going to leave Him. How could I, where else would I go? Through my tears, I promised, "No Lord, I won't turn my back on you in anger, again." And I haven't.
Pat died February 9th, 2009. The devastation and overwhelming sorrow I experienced with Connie is not the same reaction I am having with the loss of Pat, which I find miraculous since I was so much closer to Pat than Connie.
I miss Pat terribly but I believe that God has honored my choice of loyalty to Him by giving me a super natural peace and a Godly acceptance of something that would have been humanly impossible for me otherwise.
My experience of losing Connie drove me to bitterness, anger, and mistrust of God. With Pat's death, I relinquished what I deemed as my right to fairness, chose the One whose love for me is eternal and have experienced a deeper level of God and myself. Like I said, all events in our life shape and change us and we can be assured that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purposes.
In Him,
I went into prayer mode daily on behalf of her healing.
Ten months after her diagnoses, while in prayer, I asked God if He was going to heal Pat. I heard Him ask in my inner man, "Janet, if choose not to heal Pat, will you turn your back on me in anger like you did with Connie."
I knew what this meant. Pat was going to die and I was being asked by God to make a choice. With a broken heart and the taste from salty tears streaming down my face, I whispered, "No Lord, I won't turn away from you." And I didn't.
Pat died February 9th, 2009.

As Florida's Democratic gubernatorial primary ratchets up in rhetoric, fundraising and targeted appeals, there's a sobering reality that can—and has been–determinative. Not that many Dems turn out to vote in non-presidential years. And the costs, of course, can be catastrophic. It's a big part of why a state can go for both Rick Scott and Barack Obama. The most recent numbers—from the 2014 midterms—are as embarrassing as they are worrisome. Fewer than one in five Dems bothered to vote.
Hopefully the past will no longer be predictably prologue for a democracy and a Democratic Party under siege.

The Insurance in Superannuation Voluntary Code of Practice will help life insurance cover to be better understood and set improved expectations around contributions and premiums, said the Insurance in Superannuation Working Group (ISWG) of its release today.
ISWG chair Jim Minto said the voluntary Code, which would come into effect from 1 July 2018, would improved super member value and protections and help build awareness around insurance inside super, which has been cited as a continuting issue.
According to a joint release from ISWG and the Association of Super Funds of Australia (ASFA), included in the release of the Code today was:
- A framework to set expectations about the maximum amount of superannuation contributions that should be used for automatically provided life insurance premiums
- Simpler processes for members to opt out of automatic life insurance
- Simplified disclosure and improved superannuation fund member communications about insurance
- Requirements to reduce multiple insurance policies by cancellation of some insurance cover, after funds contact members, in cases where member accounts are inactive and insurance exists
- Provision of better and more timely assistance to members during claims
- Standards for handling of premium adjustment amounts between insurers and trustees
- Requirements for trustees to publish plans for the Code implementation and when various aspects of it will be implemented.
"This Code helps automatic insurance function even better for members, as well as providing enhanced protections where members have decided to acquire 'opt in' life insurance cover through superannuation," Minto said.
"It delivers enormous benefits without underwriting and must be preserved as a unique aspect of our superannuation system."

A little print adds spice to any outfit, and this look is seriously calling out our name for a girl's night out or after-work drinks. Go for a jumpsuit, a skirt, or dress to look fire.
Next, vinyl. We've been wearing it all year, we know, but we're still not over the perfect going out-out trouser. Styled with barely-theres and a crop, sign us up.
When you think of checks, you might instantly think of girl-boss workwear. However, style well with a jumpsuit, or a blazer over an LBD, and you've nailed out-out dressing.
The LRD (Little Red Dress)
We're completely in love with the colour of the season – red. Go head to toe with red shoes and a red satin mini dress.

Background: The Mobility Fund NPRM (In The Matter of Universal Service Reform Mobility Fund, WT Docket No. 10-208) was adopted on October 14, 2010. Basically, the FCC is proposing to use excess USF reserves as a one-time investment in wireless infrastructure, particularly in areas that currently do not have wireless coverage. This means rural areas, low income areas, and areas where the major providers (Verizon, etc.) have determined to not be worth the investment. I won't go through every detail of the NPRM (you can read it here: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-182A1.pdf), but I do want point out some of the main components. The money will come from Verizon and Sprint-Nextel's surrendered universal service funds, it will be distributed via reverse auctions to the bidder who can do the job for the least amount of money, and the winner will be expected to provide at least 3G coverage in the areas identified as unserved. Simple, right? Sure, if you are Verizon, AT&T, Sprint-Nextel or T-Mobile. If you are a rural wireless carrier, don't get your hopes up. Not only are reverse auctions the absolute worst idea ever, but the money will basically just be transferred from Verizon back to Verizon. 3G service will probably be obsolete by the time the money has gone full circle. Finally, the amount of money for this one-time investment isn't even enough to provide coverage in a single state, and there is no plan for ongoing funding once the expensive wireless networks are actually constructed.
Arguments: My primary objections to this NPRM are the reverse auctions, the 3G requirement, and the lack of ongoing funding. I found other issue as well, but these three are especially unpleasant for rural providers.
- Reverse Auctions: I could probably write about my complete disdain for reverse auctions all day, but I will try to keep it short. I strongly believe that reverse auctions will be an absolute disaster, as they have been in other countries that have tried to implement them for telecom systems (example: Chile, India). When you are dealing with a commodity, reverse auctions might make sense because obviously the government should try to keep costs as low as possible and reduce waste, etc. But when you are dealing with wireless infrastructure in an extremely diverse selection of geographies and demographics, you really don't want to go with a mechanism that only rewards low costs. It is also very difficult to compare two completely different wireless networks--such as a LTE and a WiMax network--on costs alone. The government will get what its paying for, as the saying goes. I find this analogy helpful: I want to buy an airline ticket so I go to Travelocity (or wherever) and put in my dates and destinations. I get back a list of several different airlines, fares and flight choices and I pick the one that costs the least without looking at the details. I will most likely get stuck with several long and out-of-the-way connections, a middle seat in the back, and I won't get the full-fare frequent flier miles from the airline. It will be an unpleasant experience but I will get what I paid for by choosing the cheapest option. If the FCC picks the winner based only on the lowest cost, there are going to be a lot of unpleasant side effects throughout the trip to completing a quality wireless network in an unserved area. The reverse auction process does not identify the best provider for a particular area--which in many cases may be a rural provider. Reverse auctions provide no incentive for quality, which is not ideal for wireless networks. Rural providers do not have economies of scale for equipment that nationwide providers have, so it is highly likely that many rural providers won't even bother participating in the auction, as is often the case with wireless license auctions. I would like to know the cost ratio of wireless infrastructure equipment for a company like Verizon vs. a rural company that only serves a few thousand people, as I suspect it would probably cost the rural company many times more per customer to construct a network in an unserved area. Basically, these proposed reverse auctions will ultimately strengthen the market power of the Big 4, they will not help rural companies participate in the wireless industry, and the wireless networks that result from these auctions will be shoddy at best because the winning bidder will not bother investing in the best equipment for the area in question. The result will not close the Wireless Broadband Gap, nor will it really be beneficial for the customers that live in remote, low income, and rural areas.
- 3G Requirement: There has been so much buzz about 4G recently that it is hard to imagine any wireless company would actually want to take a step backwards and pour money into a 3G network. The NPRM proposes that the bidder must be able to build a 3G or better network, but if reverse auctions are used then 3G equipment is going to be much cheaper, and therefore the winners will probably be building 3G networks. Not that there is anything wrong with 3G, if you are just trying to get basic service in an unserved area then 3G is perfectly fine. The problem is that it is very costly to upgrade a network from 3G to 4G, so any company who is currently planning to build a wireless network in the near future should skip 3G altogether as to avoid two very costly investments--3G network operators are going to have to upgrade to 4G eventually to keep pace with innovation and customer demands. 3G networks will not be competitively sustainable in near future, and by the time the Mobility Fund money is actually distributed, the major providers will most likely have 4G (or not-really-but-kind-of-"4G") service in most major markets already. Once again, the rural folks will be stuck with sub-par service.
- Lack of Ongoing Funding: The money from the Mobility Fund will be a one-time investment, and it really is not much of an investment at that. There will potentially be $100-300 million available for the Mobility Fund, which may seem like a lot of money, but when you consider the vast Wireless Broadband Gap and how much the average wireless network costs, it is clear that this amount of money is a complete joke. One of the most significant costs for wireless operators is ongoing expenses, and the Mobility Fund will not cover anything except the initial capital expenditure. I did a little exercise in a wireless communications class I took last semester on wireless network costs, and the result was very interesting. For a small/medium sized city like Boulder, Colorado, it would probably cost at least $10 million to construct a citywide 4G WiMax network with approximately 20 towers, using 2.5 GHz spectrum. The ongoing expenses for maintenance, upgrades, tower land rent, etc. could run the network operator up to $1 million per year, or 10% of the initial cost. With only $100 million available, the Mobility Fund would only provide investment capital for 10 medium sized cities, and absolutely no ongoing support whatsoever. So I can't help but ask:
I think I know the unfortunate answers to these questions. In Part 2 of this topic, I will review some of the especially interesting initial comments that address some of my fundamental issues with the Mobility Fund.
I would love to hear reader's thoughs on reverse auctions and ideas about how rural providers can effectively get a piece of the Mobility Fund pie--if it is even worth going after.

A man wanted on several warrants was arrested Monday after a standoff with Irving police.
About 1 p.m., officers watched Jerry Williams, 44, arrive in the 400 block of Roberts Street, near West Fifth Street, in a stolen vehicle and go into a house, police said.
Williams, who police said had a "violent criminal history," had warrants out for his arrest on charges of fleeing in a motor vehicle and parole violation for felon in possession of a firearm.
The officers told the people inside the house to come out, but Williams went into the attic and refused to surrender, police said.
Williams was taken into custody without incident by 5:30 p.m. after SWAT sent gas into the attic.
He was booked into the Irving jail Monday night on the warrants. He faces additional charges, but police did not give details.
