The Only Way Is Up (Season 9, Ep 3)
Suspended from 100 helium balloons, Tom Morgan flew 15.5 miles across South Africa, seated in a collapsible camping chair. And now he wants YOU to do it, too.
Could this hare-brained scheme really be the future of adventure travel? Or is there more hope for his other concept - getting travellers to build their own biplanes out of plywood, to fly over the Pacific?
In this chat with Olly, Tom explains how his serendipitous, risk-taking approach to travel begat the Mongol Rally - an event now entered by 400 teams each year - and his company The Adventurists.
Meanwhile, in the Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart heads off to Poole in his trusty Peugeot 206 to investigate the trend for car-wrapping, and recruits a top-class Aussie music producer in his quest to reach Christmas Number One.
And, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox enjoys an entertaining evening pondering vaginismus, and advises a listener who's concerned she climaxes too quickly during penetrative sex.
Our record of the week is the perky, synthy 'U Got Me' from East London foursome Free Money, out now on Communion Records.
If YOU have a question of sex for Alix, a challenge for Ollie, or would like to suggest someone Olly should interview in a future edition of the show, just visit MODERNMANN.CO.UK and click 'Feedback'.
And, whilst you're there, click 'Beer Money' to help support the show - for the price of a pint of beer. Cheers!

April 13, 2012 by Kyle Wood
RED WING, Minn. - With the National Guard FLW Walleye Tour preparing to kick the 2012 season off on the mighty Mississippi River there is one noticeable difference. What happened to all of the water? With the surprising lack of snow and ice throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin it has left water levels below average for this time of year.
On the river low water means low current which is vital in positioning the fish on certain types of structure. It's as if the river has become a whole different animal. Normally most guys would be targeting backwater areas where the fish would spawn and then slide to deeper water to recover. But low water means most of the prime areas are not accessible.
"It takes most of the backwaters out of the game," said Mercury pro Perry Good, "I think with the water down it will bring the lake more into play."
Going into the tournament the bite has been tough due to a few key factors. With the recent full moon and warm weather preceding it, many of the fish have spawned out. Match that with the cold front that has hung around this week and it's no wonder the fishing has been difficult. The water is also fairly clear by river standards, throwing another unusual element at the anglers.
Lake Pepin has also seen high numbers of recreational fishermen spending more time on the water. The mild winter put anglers on the river much earlier this year leading to increased pressure.
With the bite changing from day to day along with the river conditions it should make things interesting come tournament time. A slight warming trend is predicted for next week which could be what it takes to get these fish feeding.
"It's a matter of time; things are changing so fast," said pro Dusty Minke of Forest Lake, Minn.
Water temperatures are averaging around 52 degrees, though warmer water can be found. Add that in with the majority of fish in postspawn mode, and walleyes can be found all over - meaning multiple presentations and adjustments could be key.
"I've got 40 rods rigged," Minke stated. "It's not unlikely to see guys doing four to five different presentations in one day."
The way the tournament is setting up should allow for any presentation to produce fish - from trolling Fireline with crankbaits, to dragging 3-way rigs, to vertically employing a plain-old jig and minnow. Having fish in different stages of the spawn should allow anglers to play to their respective strengths.
While the low water has changed many areas, some of the usual battle grounds should still play a role. Don't be surprised to see good bags come out of Buffalo Slough or Katrina as these commonly produce good fish, especially the bigger females. What remains to been seen is how the fish will set up for anglers in the lake. Some anglers do remain confident that Pepin will produce a lot of fish. In years past, Pepin has always been the ticket for a check but rarely has the quality needed to win a three-day event.
As far as weights for this tournament go, Minke believes 14- to 16-pound days should be average. What about weights to win? Compared to normal years the weights could be slightly lower, though Good still thinks 60 pounds for three days (or more) will take home the prize.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst Is Free Roaming With No Levels
Well then! That's certainly a pleasant surprise. Electronic Arts had said they'd show off a little Mirror's Edge Catalyst gameplay during their E3 show, but I'd mostly expected better combat, a faster pace, and a cleaner flow to everything. The revelation that the game's set in an open world with no levels or loading was something else is… well, that's just blimming splendid, isn't it? EA also announced the release date: February 23rd, 2016. Here's the E3 trailer:
They've also boshed stuff up on the website to explain more about the game. Here, this post has some stuff about it being Faith's origin story, which is a bit of a boring tack but hey ho. More interesting is talk of movement and combat and Faith's growing skill and new gadgets letting her reach more of the city as the game progresses. Wait, is it a Metroidvania? Faith doesn't use guns either, which is a welcome change. Lastly, look, this here says that the open world is filled with things like races and environmental puzzles.
I'm burned out on Ubisoft's style of sandbox world (Far Cry and Assassin's Creed and Watch_Dogs and), but sure, I'll let EA get my hopes up for first-person parkour. Please don't flipkick my heart, DICE.

Publisher: Two-Four-Six Publishing
Publication date: March 26, 2013
In this sequel to The Brevity of Roses, Renee Vaziri discovers that even when your dreams come true your nightmares remain.
When Renee Marshall locked the door on her dark past and married Jalal Vaziri, she hoped for a quiet life in a California coastal town. Now, with a sexy, adoring, wealthy husband, one beautiful child and another on the way, she dares to believe happily ever after could be her future. But doors don't always stay locked. As the stress of living in Jalal's high-society world increases, the traumas of Renee's past begin to poison the present and threaten to destroy everything she treasures.
Is it her imagination or is Jalal keeping a secret that will end their marriage and rip her children from her life? And could it involve Diane, the woman who reminds Renee too much of Jalal's beloved first wife?
October, 2008
When I woke this morning, I never expected to be sitting on a cemetery bench in Coelho, but here I am. A thirty-minute drive took me from the chilly fog of Bahia de Sueños to the warmth of the autumn sun in this impossibly blue sky and brought me to an iron-fenced section large enough for at least ten graves. It contains only one. What I discovered this morning rocks me again as I face that black granite stone.
Jalal doesn't know I'm here. I had to stop at the office near the entrance to ask for the location of Meredith's grave. As it turns out, this cemetery is smaller than I expected. If I'd driven around first, the starkness, the loneliness, of her marker would have caught my eye and though it sits back a dozen yards from the road, I wouldn't have missed the name engraved along its top—VAZIRI. Six weeks ago, that became my last name too.
I'm the new wife to replace the dead wife. The young substituted for the old.
I know more about his first wife than Jalal realizes. During the four months since he finally accepted her death, he's volunteered glimpses of her when speaking of his past, but rarely are those bits something I didn't already know from secretly reading Meredith's journal. One fear she mentioned several times led me here today.
A gust swirls past, whipping the branches of the elm behind the bench and showering me with amber leaves. I glance around, seeking assurance I'm alone. People do this all the time, come here to talk to the dead, right? I feel like I know Meredith from her writing. Somehow, I think she's aware of me too.
I face the dark stone again and focus on Meredith's engraved name. I'm trying to ignore Jalal's name and birth date beside hers. Isn't it totally stupid to feel jealous seeing their names linked like that? Of course he planned to be buried next to her someday. He loved her so deeply he couldn't let go, even after she died. He loved her so much he couldn't imagine ever marrying again. He just didn't plan on me getting stranded in Bahia de Sueños and walking into his life—literally. But I did. And now I'm sitting here about to reveal a secret to his dead wife.
"Hello. I'm Renee, Jalal's new wife." I glance around again and for a moment, hide my face with my hands. I have to do this. I need to tell her. "I know you believed he should have a younger wife, and you're probably disappointed that he married someone like me, but he seems happy. He's doing better, at least. And I love him. I'm taking care of him, keeping constant vigil."
I hope Meredith won't take what I'm leading up to as a boast, but it's not an apology, either. "Anyway, you wrote how much you wished this for Jalal, so I wanted to tell you that I'm giving it to him." I sit up straighter and take a deep breath. The final words I came to say rush out on the exhale.
"Meredith, I'm pregnant."

Growing Sunday crowds helping drive Maple Leaf attendance numbers
October 17, 2013
Darlene Newman will be a first-time vendor at the Maple Leaf Festival this year, but the Baldwin City resident says she knows all about the festival crowds.
"I have health problems and didn't want to fight the crowd," the Baldwin City resident said. "I went to the festival on Sunday last year, and felt like it was almost too much for me. It was about like Saturday's (crowd). I used to think Sundays were slower."
Although Maple Leaf Festival organizers agree there is no way to accurately peg attendance, they estimated the festival drew 40,000 people last year. While Saturday remains the festival's biggest day, driven by the parade, Sundays are drawing larger numbers and helping fuel the festival's attendance growth, longtime festival observers agree.
Martha Donohue, a festival vendor who travels to the Maple Leaf Festival from her Valley Center home just north of Wichital said the Sunday crowds are noticeably larger than when she and partner Kathy Mendenhall first had a booth at the festival six years ago. That has helped the partners sell more of the homemade dip, themed snack baskets, wood plates and bowls and hand-painted flowers they bring to Baldwin City, she said.
"We have found, especially with dips, people come back on Sundays to buy more product and a basket," Donohue said. "Sundays are good for us, and they are good right up to the last minute."
Donna Curran, vending booth coordinator for the Maple Leaf Committee, said the dry, mild fall weather during recent festival weekends has increased festival attendance on both of Maple Leaf's weekend days. But she remembers years, such as 2006, when Sunday saved the festival after an all-day rain washed out Saturday.
Donohue said having a second day was reassuring to vendors like her who drive a considerable distance to the festival.
Sharon Musick of Eudora, who has had a booth at the festival with her husband, LaVerne, for 20 years, said she, too, has noticed larger Sunday crowds, as have other vendors. They are adjusting by bringing more merchandise, she said, knowing that they will have customers on Sunday afternoon.
Sunday also is good for Baldwin City business owners. Kara Cole, owner of Cranberry Market at 111 Sixth Street, said Sunday crowds seemed to be more focused downtown, but she said one fact at her store revealed the value of Sunday to her business.
"Maple Leaf Sunday is the only Sunday we are open all year," she said.

Power never says enough
WE have experienced once more the intoxicating effect of power. Martial law was declared in Mindanao last May 23 in Mindanao due to the Marawi debacle. It was extended by congress till December 31 on July 22, now with the excuse that the situation cannot be controlled without extraordinary powers.
Today December 14, it is again extended by the same subservient congress for one full year. Once one has tasted power, it is hard to say it is enough. This is true for Duterte, this is true for the police and this is true for the armed forces. Even if congress has extended it – does this make it right? Martial law is supposedly an answer to an extraordinary situation, like the case of rebellion. With this extension – and for one year! – are we making the extraordinary situation ordinary? Can the police and the AFP not address the situation with the ordinary powers that they have? Or is martial law now being used as a tool to oppress dissent, and not even dissent – just divergent views?
It cannot be said that because we are not from the military, the people can no longer know what is happening in the country. It cannot be said that because we are not from Mindanao we can no longer speak about what is happening in Mindanao. Suppression of the rights of a part of the people is suppression of the rights of all. We cannot remain silent in front of the machinations of congress who are acting not as representatives of the people but representatives of the one in power. Congress can no longer be trusted that they serve the interest of the people. They give a veneer of legality to martial law but they are making the abnormal normal, the extraordinary ordinary!
Not only that! This extension of Martial Law is conditioning the minds of our people that Martial Law is alright, that it is normal. Authoritarianism is creeping surreptitiousness among us – unless we react, and say teka…kailangan ba talaga natin iyan? Can our police and AFP not maintain peace and order with the normal mandates of civil law? Do they need extra powers to do their job? But they have been set up and are supported by the people to do their job not with extraordinary powers but with the ordinary powers of the law.
Now that Duterte has tasted support from the subservient congress, he is boasting again. It can be done all over the country. All the cards are on the table! He can declare Martial Law all over the whole country. This is what we get when we toy with power. One is never contented with enough power. It gobbles more power – unless people stand up and voice out – it is enough! This not right! Tama na! Sobra na!

Trump's administration keeps increasing the pressure over the world economy. The trade war between China and the US escalates after the American president applied fresh tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports. At the same time, the oil market will face another major peak when US sanctions over Iran materialise, with a greater impact on crude price.
Iran won't be the only emerging economy facing tough times, Argentina, another key player within these countries has gotten a bailout from the IMF to avoid the non-stop drop of the Peso currency for a $57.1bn loan. If nothing else, this means another major strike on already hurting emerging economies. The markets receive these news with disturb as the world faces great challenges that need to be sorted out. Market expert analyst Mihir Kapadia – CEO and Founder of Sun Global Investments, shares his comments about the current situation:
On the Emerging Market Crisis
"Emerging Market assets continue to be under pressure as a resilient dollar boosted by increases in Fed interest rates and worries about excess leverage continue have a negative impact. There is an increasing threat that a US-initiated trade war will spill over further into the global economy – such worries have led to currency pressure in countries including Turkey, South Africa, Argentina, Indonesia and India. For a heavy energy importer like India, the resilient dollar along with higher prices are having a double impact on its currency.
While the combined effect of rising oil and dollar has been the stress factor, the main issue continues to be trader sentiment over protectionism polices. Countries such as India and Indonesia are continuing to experience positive and firm growth though their currencies have been among the worst performers in the EM basket. The key action to stabilise their currencies would be to increase inward investment while trying to narrow down the trade deficit. However such measures, even if implemented, can only work in the medium to long term.
The UAE, which is largely driven by oil revenues, is experiencing faltering growth in non-oil sectors. The UAE central bank yesterday had cut its forecast for economic growth this year after non-oil growth slowed slightly in the second quarter.
One of the main factors weighing on the UAE economy has been the slump in real estate markets – in the second quarter, Dubai property prices fell 5.8 percent from a year earlier and 1.7 percent quarter-on-quarter."
Oil prices rise again as the world prepares for Iran sanctions
"Oil recorded a third consecutive day of gains as a result of the drop in U.S. stockpiles and the on-going supply concerns. Both WTI and Brent Crude were up today as OPEC announced it may not increase output to offset shortages Iran will face. Even though the sanctions will not come into force until 4th November, many countries have begun cutting down on their purchases in Iran. Experts are unsure as to whether just how effective this will be and whether it will only bring further instability to this volatile market."

Gold Coast Ecology provides compactors, balers, and comprehensive odor control and neutralizing solutions for any size business or industry from Ventura & Kern Counties to San Diego.
With 15 years of industrial waste experience, we are also trusted odor control specialists. Nuisance odors caused by airborne gases and particulates pose a significant problem for commercial, municipal, manufacturing, and industrial operators. Conventional approaches, such as diverting odorous gases using high-powered fans or the use of localized deodorizing agents, are less than effective and often pose associated health and safety issues for on-site personnel and customers.
Gold Coast Ecology utilizes proprietary misting and vapor systems and formulations to neutralize all odors at their source – through a combination of perimeter and directed spray atomization. This cost-effective strategy not only improves on-site working conditions and worker safety but also has been found to greatly reduce the frequency of odor complaints from customers, employees, surrounding residents, and businesses.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is ordering new arguments in two cases involving immigrants or foreigners that will give new Justice Neil Gorsuch the tie-breaking vote.
The cases were both argued before Gorsuch came to the court in April and apparently left the other eight justices evenly divided. Chief Justice John Roberts announced on Monday that the cases would be re-argued. That will happen after the Supreme Court returns to hearing arguments in the fall.
The cases include the rights of immigrants to court hearings while they face long periods of detention and the validity of a provision of immigration law that makes deportations easier.
Both cases began in the Obama administration, and the Trump administration has maintained the same position.

This blog explains about preparation you can do for SAP upgrade of support package.
Questions that will be answered are:
- Where to find support package schedule?
- Where to find version information on upgrades?
- Do I need to do delta sizing for upgrade?
Latest available main version for upgrade
For the latest available version you can check the SAP product availability matrix site. This is also know as the SAP-PAM.
After finding the right product on the first tab you can see the current release details and end of support date.
On the second tab you see the upgrade paths that are supported:
In the middle the target version. On the left hand the versions from which you can upgrade. To the right are even higher versions you can upgrade to.
Latest available versions of support packages
The latest availabe versions of support packages are published by SAP on the SAP support package stacks page. On this page click on the SAP support package stack maintenance schedule link to download the latest version of the schedule.
Support package version: minus one or latest?
In many companies there is a policy to never take the latest version of a support package. The line of thinking is: let other people solve the bugs of SAP first.
Current delivery of ABAP support packages is quite good. And the frequency is not so high as in the past. For ECC about 2 to 3 support packages per year are released (as compare to 6 to 9 in the past in the 4.6 ages).
In stead of taking minus one, you can also consider this rule: at point of go-live make sure that the support package is at least released 3 months ago. This will counter the risk of having an issue which is not discovered by anyone else before.
Delta sizing
Delta sizing for support packages is not needed. Delta sizing for an upgrade might be required if:
- Upgrade crosses multiple versions (for example upgrade from Netweaver 6.20 to Netweaver 7.51)
- Upgrade is including a new database (for example migration to HANA database)
- Specific upgrade manual is specific about delta sizing (for example the upgrade from SAP solution manager 7.1 to 7.2 is specific enough to carry out delta sizing)
Custom code
For analyzing custom code before the upgrade you can use the CDMC toolset. For more information read this blog.
Releasing transports and cleaning up transport pipeline
For both support package and upgrade releasing transports is a technical must. It is wise to start a few months before already cleaning up the transport pipeline (transports that are old and not released in development system, transports that are imported into quality environment, but no imported in productive system).
Side effect report for support packages
Per support package SAP keeps track of the unwanted side effects. OSS note 2388572 explains you how to retrieve them for your support package. Best to scan the side effects and apply the ones you think are needed.
For upgrades the side effects list is too large: here you simply need to test and fix any issues encountered.
New functions
After the upgrade you can start to use new functions. Some main functions are listed in the SAP help pages. The more unknown small features are listed by SAP in the SAP improvements finder xls. This xls has 2 tabs: first with the most recent and second with the long list of improvements since 2014. Per improvement you need to check pee-conditions of release and support package, but if you upgraded to recent version, most of the improvements will be installed. Some improvements are always active, some need extra activation steps. This is documented per improvement item.
Aftercare after upgrade
For aftercare after upgrade or support package read this blog.

In response to my open letter (on Facebook), Erica of Capital Metro makes the case for MetroRail:
Regarding MetroRail, a lot of attention does go to it, you are right. Whether this is correct thinking or not, we could debate, but it feels to me like MetroRail has to succeed before the region will embrace any other high-capacity transit options. And there are lots of successes now to talk about. And the region's needs for transit options are not diminishing.
I think this rationale for supporting the Red Line explains why so much of the conversation is at cross-purposes. The critics and the defenders are using different evaluation metrics. Critics evaluate the Red Line as a transit project using ideas like fare recovery ratio, per-rider subsidy, frequency, etc. Capital Metro on the other hand, sees the Red Line as a gamble on the future of transportation in the region. By this line of thinking, MetroRail must succeed at any cost, and be judged not by FRR or subsidy, but by its ability to bring high-capacity transit to Austin.
I think this is pretty shaky ground to orient your organization around. For one, I'm not sure that acerbic reviews like this one help the cause of public transportation generally. I know that I personally have lost a lot of trust in Capital Metro through its aversion to judging the Red Line by any standard metrics. But beyond the question of tactical effectiveness, this justification also has no real limits. The costs and benefits are unquantifiable and therefore can justify anything. I'm left with these questions:
- What would have to happen for the Red Line to no longer be worth it? Are there ridership levels low enough, fare subsidies high enough, to make the organization throw in the towel? What are they?
- If the Red Line were to fail to materialize into the line you want it to be, is there a Plan B for getting high-capacity lines into Austin?
- At what point will Capital Metro start evaluating the Red Line using the same metrics it uses to evaluate other transit lines? If high-capacity transit is built, will the Red Line then be compared to other transit on standard efficiency grounds? If a new line is voted down? At what point can we expect the Red Line to play by the same rules as the rest of Capital Metro transit?
I am again left despairing that so much of the conversation revolves around the Red Line. It seems apparent that Capital Metro has decided to make a substantial bet on MetroRail and I doubt there's much riders can do to deter it at this point. But for the 98% of Capital Metro's riders and potential riders who rely on Capital Metro, but for whom MetroRail is an unuseful diversion of money and organizational energy, I hope that this isn't a bet on which you simply keep doubling down forever. And in the meantime, I hope that you can see to it to promote the rest of your operations with the same sort of zeal with which you promote the Red Line.

No. 19 Texas beats No. 14 Baylor 61-50Feb 1, 2010 - 1:54 AM By JIM VERTUNO AP Sports Writer
AUSTIN, Texas(AP) -- After building a big second-half lead, Texas was watching it slip away as Baylor slowly mounted a comeback.
The Longhorns had been through this before.
Just a week earlier, Iowa State rallied to deal the Longhorns a devastating home loss. That one left the players angry and coach Gail Goestenkors declaring a week of "boot camp" practices to learn a few things.
Those lessons and a dose of hard-nosed defense pulled No. 19 Texas through on Sunday. The Longhorns nearly squandered a 21-point lead before hanging on for a 61-50 win.
Earnesia Williams scored 13 points and combined with Brittainey Raven (12 points) and Ashleigh Fontenette (11 points) for the big plays Texas (14-6, 3-3 Big 12) needed down the stretch.
"We didn't let up in this game," Texas forward Kathleen Nash said.
They almost did. No. 14 Baylor was chipping away behind Brittney Griner's 21 points and got within seven with under 3 minutes to play before Fontenette converted a 3-point play and Williams hit a long jumper.
During a timeout, Goestenkors had pleaded with her team to do what it takes to hang on.
"They went on a run. Great teams do," she said. "Now it's our turn. Play with poise, play calm."
Baylor (15-5, 2-4), still searching for its first league road win, did little to help Griner. The Lady Bears shot just 32 percent as a team and often struggled to get the 6-foot-8 freshman post player the ball near the basket.
"That's just basketball," Griner said. "Some will go in and some will not."
Griner, one of just seven women players in NCAA history to dunk, spent much of the game pleading for passes that didn't come or fending off Texas' pair of heavier and more muscular 6-4 forwards, Ashley Gayle and Cokie Reed.
By alternating Reed and Gayle - who both fouled out in the second half - and just about any player they could find on Griner, Texas could afford to be aggressive on defense.
"Not give her anything easy, that was the main thing," Gayle said.
Griner picked up two early fouls in the first half and spent the final 4:48 on the bench. Texas inserted smaller players and started attacking the lane for layups to build a 33-25 halftime lead.
"When she's in the game, everybody thinks twice about going into the paint," Goestenkors said. "When she went out with that second foul, I could take my bigs out. That's when we went on a run, when we went small."
Griner scored Baylor's first basket of the second half and drew Gayle's third foul in just 13 seconds. Gayle stayed in the game and answered with a basket of her own. Texas built the lead to 44-29 when Williams hit a 3-pointer from the right corner.
Texas kept pressing its lead. Gayle hit a short jumper over Griner and a layup by Fontenette put Texas up 50-29 with 13:18 to play.
The game started to change when Texas got into serious foul trouble.
Texas started missing shots. Griner converted a 3-point play and Jordan Madden hit a 3-pointer to start an 11-0 Baylor run.
Reed and Gayle both fouled out within 51 seconds, taking them out of the game with 7:38 still to play. Baylor got within 51-42 before Raven ended a six-minute scoring drought for Texas with two free throws.
Baylor's last chance for a rally came when Madden hit a 3-pointer from the left corner to get within 56-49 before Fontenette drove the baseline and drew Griner's fourth foul for a 3-point play.
Williams then hit a long jumper over Griner's outstretched arms that helped put the game away.
"We had a week that was pretty intense," Goestenkors said. "I was glad to see it pay off today."

Navratri Style Rumble
With Navratri right on our heels, it's high time to start prepping for this auspicious occasion. The fun-filled nine-day festival calls for a slew of extravagant but varied styles for each day if you want to be that person who really nails Navratri fashion on its head. Ending with Dushera, the whole event is really a melange of fun, food, congeniality, good humor and joyous times with the family. In this article, we give you a brief insight into what you can base your own Navratri style on.
Chaniya Choli
Chaniya Cholis are synonymous with Navratri. The Chaniya Choli comprises of a lehenga or Chaniya which is usually Kalidaar, embellished with cultural decorations like Bandhini, gota, sequin, stone, kaudis (shell) and mirror work among other types of embellishments as well, together with a Choli which is the small, crop top like blouse. Chaniya Cholis are usually made from cotton fabrics where the Chaniya skirt extends only till the ankles. The cotton fabrics and the ankle-length chaniyas are designed specifically to facilitate ease of movement and comfort for the Garba dance which is the traditional dance performed at most Navratri events.
Lehenga Choli
While the Chaniya Choli itself is a variation of the lehenga choli, there are distinct differences in the design of theThe fun-filled nine-day festival calls for a slew of extravagant but varied styles for each day if you want to be that person who really nails Navratri fashion on its head outfit. Even though lehengas are normally associated with wedding wear, you'd be surprised to know how well they work for festive occasions, especially Navratri. Even if you do buy a whole set, it is good to know that the lehenga and choli look good even when worn separately. Color combos like black and red, white with gold, make for some stunning styles.
Anarkali Suits
When it comes to choosing the right Anarkali style for you, it all comes down to taste and preferences. Whether you go for a heavily embroidered or a lighter printed anarkali, the general cut of anarkalis are specially designed so that they flatter almost any body type. An anarkali such as the one below is guaranteed to give you a style that will make you stand out from the crowd.
If you're a saree fanatic and aren't really looking to dress in any other outfit, sarees made of lightweight fabrics like georgette and chiffon with some exquisite floral embroidery work while going easy on any embellishments like sequin, stone works make the best choices. A black chiffon saree such as the one below, with some sophisticated resham and floral embroidery, makes for a Navratri style packed to the brim with absolute ethnic extravagance.

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator behind two of NIntendo's most popular franchises, has formed a brand new company that will retain heavy ties to the Big N. The new studio is 72 percent owned by Nintendo, and is currently operating under the name Project Sora.
Sakurai is best known as the creative force behind both the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. franchises. He was a veteran at the renowned HAL Laboratory, before moving on to head up independent studio Sora Ltd in 2005. That company released just one game, last year's bestseller Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii.
Though the new studio's upcoming project is still a mystery, a translation of the company's website reveals some interesting insights into what we can expect. "We've started a special project," Sakurai explained. "We're not sure how it will sell or if it will be accepted. Our goal is not just to make a single game. We can promise that you'll be able to experience something different...We want to make something that will be wanted even by the more hardcore game players, and something that offers new ideas."
After over 15 years of working almost exclusively on Kirby and Smash Bros. games, it's exciting to see what kind of new concepts Sakurai will come up with now that he has a little more freedom. It will most likely be still a ways away though, as the developer suggested that the project may not be released until 2011.

A few months ago, my friend, Jess, contacted me asking if I'd be interested in doing a photo shoot. I hadn't done a photo shoot for two years, since the Pink Wonderland (my previous blog) launch with Zoe. It sounded like fun! We scheduled a day, talked about using urban/industrial-type backgrounds via Pinterest, and I put together a few outfits and made jewelry for the occasion.
I used clothing and shoes I already owned for the shoot, but the one thing I did splurge on was makeup. And wow, am I glad I did! Keifla at MAC Makeup (University Village location) did a phenomenal job. Being new to getting professional makeup done and preferring to let Keifla use his judgment in what would look best, I offered only vague directions and was blown away by the look he came up with.
Jess loved it too, when we met up! I showed her some of the outfits and shoes I had in mind (she quickly discovered how obsessed I am with Guess). We picked two, I slapped on a Chanel faux tattoo (yes, real Chanel - got it years ago but never found occasion to use it) and we headed out.
Our first stop was the Second Use store in Seattle! Antonio, who cut and colored this awesome hairstyle (and taught me how to style it) suggested it. I contacted Second Use ahead of time - they were friendly and didn't mind us stopping by to take some photos in the store.
After Jess snapped some photos at Second Use, we stopped by for coffee. When we walked out, we both noticed this gorgeous doorway to an empty storefront nearby and knew we had to get a few shots there.
Jess researched and found an awesome graffiti wall site ahead of time, so we headed there next. Had a bit of trouble finding it at first, but it was definitely worth the search!
Soooo after a lot of photos at the wall, I realized that I hadn't busted out the second outfit yet! There being no particularly good spot to change, I did a surreptitious, quick change in the alleyway. Heh.
The graffiti wall happened to be near a business with a vibrant blue brick exterior and a there were a few campers parked nearby. Opportunity to seize!
We tried to be quiet, but hopefully there was no one inside the vehicles! O_O
I had an incredible time doing this photo shoot with Jess! You guys can probably tell from all of the giggling photos. :) There are lots more pics that I might share at different points in the future, but I thought this was probably more than enough of my face already. Hahaha. I'd urge you to go visit Jess's website - she has such an eye for good photos and photo opportunities! Oh, and it was extra fun having her help me figure out how to pose. I'm no good at poses (read: awkward), so Jess gave me a lot of good ideas. Isn't she talented?
P.S. Happy birthday to my wonderful, awesome mom, who is currently traipsing around Italy with my dad! Hope you're having a fun vacation and eating lots of pasta for me! :)

["Does it change anything?"]
What does it change Justin? What will you find transformed in you, dear Erin? Something has to change, otherwise wedding days would not be given the importance they are given. Otherwise, this would have happened sooner; or probably never.
When it comes to love we promise it will last for as long as we live, that is, it will not be altered. We bow to uphold that promise unchangeable. And yet, when getting married, we argue that our relation has moved forward. Why this contradiction? Is it contradictory? I see you and think: the word might not change, but the meaning does. You as a concept will remain Erin & Justin, but concepts without context have no meaning. The everyday life, our every night thoughts provide it. What will it change? What has changed? For those of us interested in whatever amendment, reordering you do on the Concept of you, we'll have to pay attention to the little things: the new porch on your house, the guest room that will be used to host a more permanent guest. The pile of gadgets he creates. The drawer of presents she keeps full. Erin and Justin as a concept and as context will, as any other project, demand remodeling now and then. But it will remain the dwell in which you create meaning to your lives. I thank you, dear couple in the woods, for making me part of your context on such a beautiful day. May you change. May you remain.

About Us
Clarke County High School opened in 1920 in Berryville, Virginia. In 1954 Clarke County High School relocated to 200 Swan Avenue, which is currently Johnson-Williams Middle School. The Class of 1987 was the last class to graduate at CCHS on Swan Avenue. In 1987, Clarke County moved to the location at 240 Westwood Road and opened with 533 students. Wilbur Feltner Stadium was dedicated in September 1996 and is still home to the Clarke County Eagles sporting events. This location is currently DG Cooley Elementary Lower Campus. In 2012 Clarke County relocated to its current site at 627 Mosby Blvd., Berryville, Virginia.
Today, Clarke County High School is located at 627 Mosby Blvd in Berryville and serves approximately 720 students in grades 9-12. The Clarke County High School faculty and staff goal is to encourage, inspire, and empower our students to reach their fullest potential both within the classroom and community. Our students are provided many opportunities that challenge them both academically and personally. This can been seen through the academic offerings that include the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program, Mountain Vista Governor's School, and strong Career and Technical Education (CTE) offerings in agriculture, medical health, and technical offerings. In addition, students are able to participate in dual enrolled course work through Lord Fairfax Community College and earn college credit while attending Clarke County High School. Our students build and balance their career and education opportunities and aspirations by participating in all of these offerings.
Clarke County High School students are encouraged to participate in a wide offering of athletic, fine arts, academic, and services clubs. Co-Curricular organizations include HOSA, DECA, and FFA along with honor societies for each program, as well as other organizations. Club opportunities range from our state recognized Marching Band and Choirs, Robotics, Debate, Forensics, and many others. These organizations inspire and empower our students to become productive and caring members of our community. We encourage you to visit the various social media connections that are part of our website to gain additional information of the multitude of offerings for our students.
Clarke County High School offers the International Baccalaureate [IB] Diploma Program, which is recognized worldwide for its academic rigor and emphasis on developing capable, well-rounded high school graduates. IB courses are among the most challenging classes offered at CCHS. They are open to any student who is academically oriented and who possesses a strong work ethic. The IB program provides an excellent preparation for college and for citizenship as a lifelong learner in our 21st century world.
The usual path to the IB diploma begins in middle school, where students should have completed at least Algebra I and the first year of a world language by the end of 8th grade. They then enroll in honors classes in 9th and 10th grades as preparation for the IB Diploma Program as juniors and seniors. The IB diploma is earned by successfully meeting the following requirements during the two years of the program, usually 11th and 12th grades:
Complete IB coursework and pass exams in the six IB subject areas [English, World Language, Social Studies, Laboratory Science, Mathematics, and Arts/Electives]. Three or four of these subjects must be taken at Higher Level [HL], a more intense and in-depth study; the remaining two or three courses must be taken at Standard Level [SL], a slightly less intense and in-depth study. Most IB classes, whether HL or SL, are two-year courses.
Complete the two-year Theory of Knowledge course [TOK], which aims to make connections, comparisons, and contrasts among all the different subject areas the students are studying.
Write a 4000-word Extended Essay, a research paper on a topic chosen by the student. [This project is monitored in the TOK class.]
Complete 150 hours of extracurricular activities following the IB Creativity, Action, and Service [CAS] guidelines. [This project is also monitored in TOK.]
Colleges and universities, especially the more selective ones, want to see that their applicants have taken the most challenging academic program that their high school offers. Therefore, we strongly encourage academically-oriented students to enroll in the full IB Diploma Program. Successful candidates will earn an internationally recognized IB diploma in addition to their Virginia Advanced Studies diploma.

Students develop awareness that work is society's way of creating, preserving, changing and improving their environment. Provisions are made to allow for individual differences in all cooperative, on-the-job and classroom experiences.
It is essential to help each person develop self-understanding and the ability to self-evaluate and, as a result, to initiate change when necessary. The teacher strives to create in students, self-respect and personal values that will help them become more effective and happy. The teacher acknowledges and encourages student participation and interaction in accomplishing needed change while encouraging students to accept responsibility for their actions. Student participation and interaction are provided through planned leadership activities in the National FFA organization, providing opportunities for cooperation, citizenship and leadership development at the local, state and national levels. Students gain experience in decision making, learn to accept responsibility and participate in activities that may lead to more purposeful use of work and leisure time.
Horticulture is a subdivision of the broader topic of Agriculture. According to the National Gardening Association horticulture is a multi-billion dollar industry offering a wide variety of career opportunities in the Floriculture and Landscaping fields. The goal of the CCHS Horticulture Program is to present an overview of the horticulture industry and the educational and career opportunities that are available in the field.
Students learn about the industry through hands-on projects in the greenhouse, garden, and classroom. The program also promotes personal growth through fostering an awareness of the importance of environmental stewardship. Entry-level career opportunities include greenhouse/ nursery employees or groundskeeper. Careers requiring further education include landscape architect, floral designer, soil scientists, or director of botanical/public gardens and arboretums.
The CCHS Technology Education Department offers coursework in Engineering Design, Engineering Systems, Civil Engineering and Architecture, Electronics, and Information Technology. All of the coursework will prepare students pursuing technical certification and/or professional studies.
Students interested in the Mechanical Engineering field will benefit from the study of Engineering Design and Engineering Systems. Engineering Design goes through the design process, problem solving, manufacturing processes, and an understanding of material properties and uses. Engineering Systems introduces the student to design, implementation, and use of manufacturing lines.
Civil Engineering and Architecture courses will benefit students interested in the building trades as well as the design and systems course work. These courses explore soil sciences, surveying, wall systems, structural systems, roof systems, building materials, supply and waste systems, electrical supply and distribution, and road work.
Students working with communications, security systems, and information technology, will benefit from electronics and Information Technology studies. They study the basic building blocks of digital electronics [the basis of all electronic systems], computer and network systems, and computer maintenance. This includes theory in the Digital Electronic and Information systems, as well as practical application as computer and information technology system setup and maintenance.
Engineering, as a study of problem solving in general, utilizes aspects of all of the coursework. As a result, taking course work in one field may easily overlap into other fields.
At this time, students taking Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, and Civil Engineering and Architecture receive Dual Enrollment credit. Graduates of CCHS who have taken these courses have gone on technical jobs, military service, and two and four-year schools pursuing degrees in these fields. The Technology Education courses also offer practical, real life applications to math and science coursework at CCHS.
The Career and Technical education program at Clarke County High School offers a cluster of health services classes to help students in grades 11 and 12 prepare for very rigorous health professions programs in college. At this time, Medical Terminology I and II may be dual enrolled through Lord Fairfax Community College and students will be able to earn college credits and gain a basic understanding of medical terms and conditions that can improve their success in health professions. The CCHS Nurse Aide class is Virginia Board of Nursing accredited and prepares students for the industry certification exam for Certified Nurse Aide. These students will be prepared to do basic patient care in hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities under the supervision of licensed health care professionals while they are completing their high school education.
Students who have hands on experience and a working knowledge of basic health care are better prepared for health professions studies.
Students will attend Industrial Maintenance Technology I and II classes on the campus of Lord Fairfax Community College. One-half day on site at LFCC with program completion resulting in the completion of 31 community college credits, two Career Studies Certificates (HVAC and Basic Electrical Technician), as well as two industry certifications (PSHA 10 and CFC). This program is only offered through an application and recommendation process. Lord Fairfax Community College Dual Enrollment certificate and college credit may be earned.

What can I wear as an American woman traveling to Kenya? I don't want to offend anyone in Nairobi!
Heading to Nairobi Kenya next week to do HIV/AIDS counseling and education and am not sure what I should wear!
4 Answers
Phil from the world nomads.com safety hub here. No need to worry about conforming to a particular dress standard, Nairobi is a reasonably cosmopolitan city. I wouldn't recommend midriff tops and short-shorts, but regular street clothes... What we in Australia call "smart casual", jeans, t-shirt, cotton blouse. I assume you'll be going on safari at some stage... Wear comfortable casual clothes. We have some Kenya and safari travel safety tips here: journals.worldnomads.com/safetyhub/country/110/kenya over 9 years agoAnswered by Ask Phil via Ask a Nomad iPad app
As Phil says, Nairobi is a busy city and is used to seeing foreigners coming and going. I definitely wouldnt expose too much flesh and would wear long(er) trousers or skirts with shirts that dont flash your bra.
Sturdy shoes would be good as the streets can be uneven and these are also good if you do do a safari...although I only had flip flops on mine!! over 9 years agoAnswered by Sam Richards via Travellr.com
Well dress decently but Nairobi is quite liberal but it's a bit chilly this time of the year so u might want keep warm. U will not offend anyone : ) enjoy your conference and check out Mombasa if you have time. over 9 years agoAnswered by msafiri via Ask a Nomad iPad app
Msafiri is quite right about the current weather. You will be cool during the days and cold at night. Nairobi is at a high elevation and a lot of people don't realize how cold the evenings can get this time of year. However, smart casual is acceptable everywhere, jeans, long shorts and please, bring a flees or light jacket. over 9 years agoAnswered by Paul via Ask a Nomad iPad app

Top 5 Literacy Lesson Starters
These activities and games require minimal resources and are extremely fun and easy to play. The games can be used at the start, middle or end of a lesson. The students will often learn more and be more engaged due to the fun and competitive nature of these literacy activities.
As the name states I feel these education breaks work best at the start of the lesson. The reason for this is that if students are engaged through an educational activity, they are more likely to take this enthusiasm and energy into the class topic you are working on. Students enjoy a challenge and that's exactly what these activities are designed to do. The five literacy starters will challenge, engage and motivate students in a fun and support way. Give them a try and take note of the amazing results they will have with class moral and engagement of your students. As always if you would like these literacy breaks as a PDF please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Start this game with students sitting in a circle. Start them off with a slow rhythm clap. Then the first student says any word to the time of the rhythm. The next student must then say a word that begins with the last letter of the previous word.
For example: MAGIC . . . CRICKET . . . TOY . . . YELL . . . LUCKY . . . YELLOW. The game starts over when a student misses a turn or says a wrong word.
Pen and paper for each group
Split the class into groups of four students. In these groups the students must use all 26 letters of the alphabet for the scavenger hunt.
The students need to find something in the classroom that they can see that begins with each letter of the alphabet. They need only one thing for each letter. The first group to find things for all 26 letters reads out their words. If the words are all OK, this group is the winner. If any are not OK, the game continues until another group finishes.
Paper and pencils
Telephone Pictionary starts with the class sitting in a circle. The teacher selects one student to write a sentence or phrase. This can be anything! (The stranger the beginning sentence, the funnier the final result will be.) The student sitting next the first student looks at what was written and draws a picture to match the sentence. They fold the paper over so that only the picture can be seen and pass it to the next student. The third student looks at the picture and writes a caption or sentence for the picture that they see. They fold the paper over again, so that only the sentence can be seen, and pass the paper to the next student. Continue like this until everyone has had a turn. The game should end with a sentence, not a picture, so it may be that one student has two turns. When everyone has had a turn, open the paper and have a good laugh as a class.
The class starts this game by sitting in a circle. The teacher picks a student who describes the minister's cat with any adjective that starts with the letter 'A'; for example, "The minister's cat is an amazing cat." The next student must also use the letter 'A', such as, "The minister's cat is an angry cat." Continue all the way around the circle. When it comes back to the first student the letter 'B' is used; for example, "The minister's cat is a bold cat." Any student that is unable to come up with an adjective can pass on their turn or they can be eliminated if you want to have a competitive game.
Dictionary, paper and pens for each group
Split the class into four even teams. They each need a piece of paper and pen. The teacher finds any word in the dictionary and writes the word on the board. Each group then gets five minutes to write down what they think the word means. Once they have done this, the teacher reads out the right meaning as well as the four the groups have made up. You score a point if you guess the right answer, and you also score a point if another group picks your explanation when they are voting. The aim is to try and come up with answers that are very convincing so other groups vote for them. The winning group will be the team with the most points at the end of the session.

Joey Barton's scathing assessment of the footballer biography production line, "England did nothing in that World Cup, so why were they bringing books out? 'We got beat in the quarter-finals. I played like shit. Here's my book.' Who wants to read that?" may probably be the most accurate thing he's ever said. The literary sinkhole of 2006 saw a slew of biographies of players who were still mid-career, and they were all terrible, soulless cash-ins. If they were the manure, then it's possible they fertilised the ground for more recent works including Dennis Bergkamp's 'Stillness & Speed' and Pirlo's 'I Think Therefore I Play'.
To the august company of work concerning the best player Holland produced after 1988 and the effortlessly cool Italian maestro, I might add Ben Sigmund and Jason Pine's 'Fully Committed'. Not, I must say, because of the similarity of ability between them and Canterbury's favourite footballing son, but because of what the book represents for the game in New Zealand.
It might be surprising to discover, in Ben Sigmund's biography, that he's not that interested in football beyond the team that he plays in. I say might be, were it not for the way the book portrays the man himself. This isn't a game-by-game examination of Sigmund's Phoenix or All Whites career, but a portrait of the artist as a young and somewhat less younger man.
Jason Pine's decision to take a choral approach to the narrative, with paragraphs and chapters featuring family and team-mates in their own words, sets Ben's own words in the context of those closest to him. Obviously the book relies on his word, and there's no doubt some people who would contest some of the criticisms it contains, but in hearing the voices of his parents, his wife and his team-mates – it avoids becoming a one-tone bar room boast about achievement.
It covers 2010, the Phoenix, Ricki Herbert and that red card. But in some ways this book is at its best when, as it's subject prefers, it isn't about the football. The chapters featuring his wife Deanna, and the birth of their son Cameron, are visceral, powerful stuff. But so too are the periods in his life when Sigmund's options appear narrow, when brick walls loom in every direction. Fortunately, as Nix fans would recognise, there's never been a brick wall Ben Sigmund couldn't run straight through if he put his mind to it.
Fully Committed is a story about a talented footballer who signed his first professional contract aged 27. It begins by talking about that night in Wellington when the howling wind was drowned out by 35,000 Kiwi's realising their team was going to the World Cup. It ends with a much wiser, self-aware and measured man embarking on the next stage of his life.
But it's also an insight into life as a footballer in New Zealand over the last two decades, from his brush with the doomed Kingz to his brief spell in the NZFC and finally joining up with the Nix. It's a measured assessment of his own achievements and an offered question about the unfulfilled potential of those who took to the field as the game professionalised in this country – as anyone as determined and focused on success would ask as they bring their career to a close.
What is perhaps remarkable is the amount of change that Sigmund witnessed during his career. Football in New Zealand is often derided, but over the course of his career Sigmund saw professionalism's false dawn and second coming. He was part of the team which took the All Whites to South Africa in 2010, an incredible achievement by itself. That's why this book is important. This is the first book of it's type in New Zealand, the story of a player going pro in New Zealand and reaching the biggest stage in the modern era.
Hopefully his voice, as it is in the book itself, will be joined by many more in the future.
You can get a copy of Fully Committed at branches of Whitcoulls and other retailers, more information is available on his website.

cultural studies
Cultural studies is both its own unique field and an approach that works across the humanities and social sciences.
You'll find programs and courses with an emphasis in African American studies, international studies, maritime studies, queer studies, and women's and gender studies.
How to Choose Your Path
You'll choose what you study to earn a Bachelor's degree that's meaningful to you. Some students decide their programs as they go, while others chart their course in advance.
Aim for both breadth and depth; explore fields that may be related or that may seem very distant. You'll be surprised at what you discover.
If you're new to college, look for programs where you can gain a foundation, build key skills, and broaden your knowledge (FR only, FR-SO, or FR-SR).
If you already have a foundation in this field, look for programs with intermediate or advanced material (SO-SR, JR-SR, or FR-SR). These programs may include community-based learning and in-depth research. Some of these programs have specific prerequisites; check the description for details.
Talk to an academic advisor to get help figuring out what coursework is best for you.

The World's Quietest Laminate Floor
With the innovative HARO Laminate Floor Silent CT, HARO has developed a new process to make laminate floors quieter and therefore more comfortable.
Rülzheim – The new ultra-modern company building of ITK Engineering, one of the leading developers of security-related software based in Rülzheim in Rhineland-Palatinate, is now the new home to some 250 employees. The building was completed in October 2013 and opened ceremoniously in the presence of leading representatives from the worlds of politics and business. The architectural concept is based on ITC's corporate values in terms of both colour and content. The key premise is that the employees should feel comfortable. The high-quality parquet floor from HARO in longstrip design and precious Smoked Oak wood species, which was installed in all of the offices as well as on the executive floor, also plays an important role in this regard. Combined with warm colours and in contrast to the airy glass façade, the wooden floor provides the perfect footing. Wood has after all always been a material that has given people a sense of warmth and cosy comfort.
The architectural concept is based on the company's corporate values in terms of both colour and content. The new building should convey a sense of transparency, trust and innovation. The corporate culture can already be sensed and experienced immediately upon entering. Thanks to its fully glazed façade, central airspace with unobstructed sky views as well as general open design, the building creates fascinating prospects that the company also offers to its employees and customers. The new building also embodies the sense of team spirit that is so important to ITK Engineering: Creative corners, its own staff restaurant, several coffee kitchens and special furniture offer space for creative exchanges and collaborative working. The so-called "second home", a dedicated area in the building decorated in warm colours and with lots of wood – also on the floor – creates a special atmosphere and symbolises the concept of partnership that characterises the company.
ITK is one of the leading developers of security-related software in Germany. Private vehicles, medical equipment and airplanes all run smoothly thanks to the "embedded" software from ITK. Especially with such an abstract product, parquet flooring from HARO conveys the proverbial "firm foundation". The vibrant longstrip design and reddish-brown colour hue of the precious Smoked Oak wood species provide a pleasant natural and warm contrast to the glass façade, the modern furniture and its fresh green colour. The floor will provide a firm foundation into the future for the sophisticated office atmosphere thanks to its glue-down installation and high-grade and easy-care bioTec surface with oil/wax finish.

Disease Management
Definition - What does Disease Management mean?
Disease management refers to the health care strategy of attempting to teach patients with chronic illnesses to manage them as well as possible so as to reduce health care costs and maintain health as well as possible over a long period of time. This includes self-care strategies that patients can implement at home.
Insuranceopedia explains Disease Management
Chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, can be very costly to insurance companies since they frequently require extended or ongoing care over many years. In the early 2000s health insurance companies started to look into reducing health care costs with disease management programs. These programs teach policyholders such strategies as ways to optimize nutrition to manage their illnesses as well as possible. The healthier that patients can stay, the lower the costs for health insurance companies.
