This morning I had the pleasure of attending the awards ceremony at the high school. All awards were handed out with the exception of Instrumental Music, which will be done at the banquet on the 18th.
Heidi was recognized for her excellence in both Math and French. Many of her friends were recognized as well- those band kids are really high achievers! You can see how pleased she is to shake Mr. D's hand in congratulations. I am so proud of Heidi, she has worked very hard this year and has maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout the year.
Before the ceremony started, Mr. D'Angelis, the principal, had a few words for us all. He thanked the teachers and parents for their support of the students and then thanked the kids for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence.
One thing he said struck home with me, and as I LOVE good quotes (ask anyone who knows me! lol), I wrote this one down.
He said we all basically have three choices in life: Give Up, Give In, or Give it Your ALL. Don't you just LOVE that??? I believe it with all of my heart. He pointed out that the students being recognized are those who definitely give it their all. No kidding!
While I am bragging about my kids, I have to mention Holly too. She just finished her second year at Carleton in the Psychology program and got four "A" and one "B". She too has worked her behind off this past year, both going to school full-time and holding down a part-time job during the school year. WAY TO GO, HOLLY!!!
I am so very proud to be the mom of these hardworking girls who deserve every bit of back-patting they get!

Israel's security service later confirmed that the explosion was a terror attack. This is the first bombing attack in Jerusalem since the end of the second Intifada in 2005, Haaretz reported.
The blast took place at around 5.50 p.m. on Moshe Baram street, near Hebron road.
Jerusalem Police spokesperson, Asi Aharoni, said the bomb exploded in the back of the bus No.12, which then caused a fire to spread to a private vehicle and a nearby bus that was empty at the time. Most of those injured by the explosion were passengers on the No.12 bus.
Investigations have been launched into the cause of the explosion while forensics and bomb disposal expert confirmed that it was caused by an explosive device, Israeli Police Foreign Press spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said on Twitter.
Those wounded by the blast were later evacuated by Israeli medics Magen David Adom to Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Hadassah University Hospital.
At least seven among them are in moderate-to-serious condition while others were treated for light wounds.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barak quickly condemned the blast as a "terror attack", while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "reach the perpetrators and those who support them, and ensure those who stand behind it are held accountable."
Many politicians and Palestinian political factions have also responded to the incident.
Joint Arab List leader Ayman Odeh denounced the attack, writing on social media that, "harming civilians is unacceptable and it also damages the justified Palestinian campaign to end the occupation."
"The Netanyahu government fuels the bloodshed and is fueled by it," he added. "Only a diplomatic solution will bring security for both [Israeli and Palestinian] peoples."
Although no group claimed responsibility for the attack, Palestinian militant groups hailed the bus bombing.
In a public statement, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Suhri called the attack a, "natural response to Israeli crimes, notably executions and the desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque."
Islamic Jihad said the explosion sent a "strong message" that the Palestinian uprising was ongoing, and welcomed the attack as "proof of the failure of security coordination" between Israel and the Palestine Authority.
Gaza-based Popular Resistance Movement leader Haitham al-Ashqar said that the attack was a "natural and rightful response" to continuous Israeli violations against Palestinians and called for more "heroic operations that hurt the occupation and its settlers."
The Jerusalem bus blast took place a few days before the upcoming Jewish holiday of Passover. Following the incident, Israeli forces and border police were deployed across the city to ensure security.

Today, I'm not being very archaeological at all (currently watching a repeat of Only Fools and Horses on my day off) so thought I'd write about the last week of my job as Project Officer working with the Hallaton Treasure.
The Hallaton Treasure is an internationally important Late Iron Age find comprising over 5000 Iron Age and Roman coins, a Roman cavalry parade helmet, the remains of around 400 pigs and other unique silver objects which were all buried at an Iron Age shrine in south east Leicestershire between 50 BC and AD 60ish. Many of the finds are displayed at Harborough Museum, Market Harborough where I'm based most of the time.
Saturday 23 July
Spent the day working at the museum's I Love Archaeology! event as part of the Festival of British Archaeology. I was joined by Leicestershire Finds Liaison Officer, Wendy Scott, who kindly gave up her Saturday to talk to visitors about Roman coins and show them some of her handling collection. I had fun showing kids (and a few adults) how to strike their own replica Corieltavian coins with our bespoke coin striking kit. Also got to show off a few coins from the Treasure which aren't usually on display and allowed visitors to carefully handle them. A lovely day.
Sunday 24 July
Hallaton Treasure Roadshow visited a Festival event in the village of Great Bowden near Market Harborough organised by the very active Great Bowden Heritage and Archaeology group. They were launching their new book "Furlong and Furrow" and I had another enjoyable day talking to people about the Treasure and doing more coin making. My roadshow events usually involve me dressed as "Seren the Iron Age" woman and this was no exception. Had a go at making a thumb pot out of clay which was one of the fun activities organised by the group for the event. It turns out that Seren is a rubbish potter and I gave up after my third disastrous attempt. Was good to get out of my itchy, woollen tube dress at the end of the day!
Monday 25 July
My first full day back in the office for a while was spent catching up on emails and working towards the next major stage of the project – the displaying the Hallaton Helmet at Harborough Museum following three years of conservation at the British Museum. Conservation work will finish in December this year and the helmet will be displayed at the end of January. It's such an exciting project to be involved in, but there is still lots to do before the public get to see this magnificent example of a 1st century AD, silver-gilt, cavalry helmet.
Tuesday 26 July
Another Hallaton Treasure Roadshow, this time at Charnwood Museum, Loughborough. A great museum featuring lots of local archaeological finds, well worth a visit. About 100 people took part in the day which included kids craft activities such as making a "Roman helmet" out of card or an Iron Age torc from glittery pipe cleaners. Older visitors could chat to me about the Treasure. Hopefully I didn't bore them too much, once I get started it's difficult to stop!
Wednesday 27 July
Back in the office, more helmet planning. Took a call from a Roman re-enactment group who we hope to work with at the public launch of the helmet at the end of January. Chatted about hiring stunt Roman cavalrymen and ponies to ride around the town centre. Also sent some emails to the conservation team working on the helmet regarding photographing the finds and timescales etc.
Arranged to visit Tullie House Museum, Carlisle to see their new Roman Frontier Gallery which currently has a Roman cavalry sports helmet from Nijmegen, The Netherlands. This helmet as loaned to the museum following their unsuccessful bid for the Crosby Garrett Helmet. Can't wait to see it and chat to staff about Roman helmets next month.
Thursday 28 July
Another Roadshow event, this time at The Guildhall, Boston where the Hallaton Treasure Travelling Exhibition is on display. This exhibition has been touring the East Midlandsfor two years and is another interesting aspect of the Hallaton Treasure Project. The Guildhall recorded their highest ever number of visitors in one day, hope in part due to the free activities we were providing. Was impressed by the many finds being displayed in the Guildhall which have just been dug up in an excavation taking place in the town's Market Place. A wooden patten was the latest find and staff had to spray it with water every hour!
Friday 29 July
Welcome day off. Getting ready for last Festival of Archaeology event taking place at Harborough Museum tomorrow. Re-enactors in for Celts V Romans – should be a great way to end a hectic few weeks.

Axelrod ready for challenge of pitching in relief
CHICAGO -- All 18 of Dylan Axelrod's 2013 appearances have come as part of the White Sox rotation.
That streak now figures to be broken, with Axelrod moving to the bullpen upon Jake Peavy's return and Hector Santiago staying as a starter. Instead of complaining about the move, the right-hander is ready to tackle this next challenge.
"I just look at it as being a team guy and being able to go fill a role in the bullpen for however long that might be," Axelrod said. "Just do the best I can. I'm just happy to be given that opportunity, just to be seen as a versatile guy that can go back and forth."
Axelrod posted a 3-4 record with a 3.73 ERA during his first 70 innings over 12 starts this season, as opposed to a 0-2 record with a 9.32 ERA during 28 innings in his last six starts. That slump eventually produced the move for Axelrod, who has a 1-0 record with 5.93 ERA in eight career relief appearances.
This bullpen change also leads to more of a daily focus as far as Axelrod's pitching preparation is concerned.
"You get used to the routine of starting, but I've been in the bullpen before," Axelrod said. "You've really got to make a change in your mental side of the game, where you have to be ready to pitch every day and prepare to pitch every day and not have those mental breaks where you can kind of just let your guard down.
"I'm trying to make myself aware of that and just stay ready. You have to be ready all the time."

I watched every documentary on the financial crisis and CDOs, tried to understand Wikipedia etc.. but still not getting the full picture as examples seem to be limited (or complicated).
Say Local-Bank-A starts providing mortgages to US subprime, big marketing campaign and sweet offer 100% mortgage, offer start 1 Jun and finish 31 August, so a 3 month marketing window. The sales and marketing guys believe they are going to close 10,000 mortgages with an average loan of US$100,000.
Where they do they get the money from first to finance 10,000 mortgages. Do they borrow US$ 1 billion and from where? When they borrow from other banks what collateral do they accept?
Okay 1st September comes round and Local-Bank-A has sold all expected 10,000 mortgages, exhausted the 1 billion and now wants to sell it on to Goldman Sachs etc.. What do they charge to sell it? How much money is in selling US$1billion of 100% mortgages to the wall street investment banks?
So they sell, they get the US$1billion back plus whatever profit and settle their original loan of 1 billion. They make some money out of this and start the process again?
Goldman Sach now has 1 billion of mortgages on their books and works quickly to CDO this and shift it on. How much were they making on this as obviously they had shell out at least 1 billion for them (as Local-Bank-A wouldnt be selling for a loss)?
When the bank sell these mortgages on who is responsible for collecting the monthly payments and handling redemptions etc..? Do US mortgages have a separate handling fee to a 3rd party entity like $10 a month? Who answers the phone when changing repayment amounts etc..
I talk in the current sense but obviously I mean 2006/2007.

Sports car designer Ferdinand Porsche dies at age 76
FRANKFURT, Germany - He designed Porsche's classic 911 sports car - the sleek model that evokes power, wealth and envy among aficionados - cementing his grandfather's name into the modern psyche
Ferdinand Alexander Porsche died Thursday in Salzburg, Austria at age 76, Porsche AG said. No cause was provided.
Porsche, known as F.A. to his colleagues, was head of the Porsche design studio in the early 1960s when the company developed the 911 model that remains its brand-defining product. The car, now in its seventh version, remains recognizably the same vehicle, with its sloping roofline, long, low hood and prominent headlights.
"The creator of the Porsche 911 has founded a culture of design in our company that distinguishes our sports cars even today," Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller said.
Porsche was the son of former Porsche Chairman Ferry Porsche, who died in 1998, and the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, who started the company as a design and engineering firm in the 1930s.
Born in Stuttgart on Dec. 11, 1935, F.A. Porsche was initiated into the family business while still a boy, spending time in his grandfather's workshops and design facilities. He studied at the Hochschule fuer Gestaltung in Ulm and joined the company in 1958, taking over the design studio in 1962.
In the 911, he created a larger, less cramped replacement for the company's first model, the four-cylinder Porsche 356. The new car, with a rear-mounted, six-cylinder engine, was originally designated the 901, but the number was changed because French competitor Peugeot claimed a patent on car names formed with a zero in the middle.
Porsche left the operational part of the company with other family members in the early 1970s and in 1972 founded a design business, Porsche Design Studio, where he created eyeglasses, watches and pens.
As a designer, he had a reputation as a functionalist.
"A formally harmonious product needs no decoration, it should be elevated through pure form," he once said - a motto reflected in the lean lines of the 911.
He served as chairman of Porsche AG from 1990 to 1993 and helped steer the family firm through a crisis as sales plunged in the late 1980s under pressure from global competition and a strong German mark that hindered exports.
Under his chairmanship, the company brought in a new CEO, Wendelin Wiedeking, who is credited with turning the company around.
Porsche was to be buried in a private ceremony in the chapel at Schuettgut, the Porsche family's estate in Zell am See, Austria.

Cardinals QB sidelined by rib cartilage damage
Kevin Kolb's star-crossed career in Arizona has taken another hit.
The Cardinals announced Tuesday that Kolb has rib cartilage damage and will be sidelined for ''an unspecified period of time.''
Kolb, who took over when starter John Skelton went down in the opener and directed the game-winning drive, had the team at 4-2 despite weak play by his offensive line that had him sacked 22 times in the last three games.
The job will revert to Skelton, who beat out Kolb in the preseason and just now is returning to health from a sprained left ankle. Skelton was active on Sunday for the first time since the injury.
Kolb also has a sprained sternoclavicular joint. Known commonly as the SC joint, it connects the breastbone to the collar bone.
The damage was discovered in an MRI on Monday. The exam did not show any fractures on the ribs or sternum, which would have been far more serious.
The injury comes with Arizona entering arguably the toughest stretch of its schedule.
Kolb will miss Sunday's game at Minnesota and most likely the Oct. 29 Monday night showdown at home against San Francisco. The team is at Green Bay on Nov. 4, then has a bye week before traveling to Atlanta.
Kolb was hurt trying to make it to the line of scrimmage on a busted play late in the Cardinals' 19-16 overtime loss to Buffalo on Sunday. He changed the call to a draw play at the line of scrimmage but running back William Powell didn't realize it. That left the ball in Kolb's hands. He tried to scramble but was tackled a yard shy of the line of scrimmage, the ball pinned between his ribs and the turf.
The play was not one of the five sacks Kolb sustained, one for a safety. Kolb has been sacked 22 times in the past three games - the last two losses after the team opened the season 4-0, the franchise's best start in 38 years.
In six games, Kolb has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,169 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
It's the third time Kolb has been sidelined with an injury in 22 games since he arrived in Arizona.
Last season, in the Cardinals' sixth straight loss, he went out with a turf toe injury. With Skelton at the controls, Arizona won three of the next four. Kolb returned to lead the Cardinals to an overtime victory over Dallas. But the following week against San Francisco, he took a knee to the head on Arizona's first series and left with a concussion. Kolb didn't play the rest of the season as the erratic but resilient Skelton led the Cardinals to an 8-8 finish.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt declared an open competition between Skelton and Kolb and announced Skelton the winner just before the final week of practice leading to the season opener.
Skelton, though, had to be carted off the field with the sprained ankle in the fourth quarter against Seattle. Kolb, who entered the game to boos from the home crowd, directed the winning touchdown drive in a 20-16 victory.
A stunning win at New England, followed by victories over Philadelphia and Miami made Arizona one of just three NFL teams to start 4-0, but the Cardinals were dominated in a 17-3 Thursday night loss at St. Louis, with Kolb taking brutal hit after brutal hit, including nine sacks.
Last Sunday, in a typically wild Arizona home game, the Cardinals' Jay Feely kicked a franchise record 61-yard field goal to tie it, only to have his 38-yard attempt to win the game deflected. The ball hit the left upright and bounced out.
In overtime, Skelton threw an interception that set up Buffalo's game-winning kick.
Kolb completed 14 of 26 passes for 128 yards against the Bills. He threw for a touchdown and was intercepted once. The scrambler also rushed for 66 yards in 5 carries, 22 on the play before he was hurt.
Skelton, a 6-foot-6, strong-armed pocket passer, is 8-4 as a starter after being drafted in the fifth round out of Fordham. In his career, he has completed 52 percent of his passes for 2,769 yards and 13 touchdowns with 18 interceptions. In his brief time this year, Skelton is 16 of 38 for 194 yards and no TDs with two interceptions.
Like Kolb, Skelton is a Texan - Kolb from Stephenville and Skelton from El Paso.
With Skelton finally healthy, Whisenhunt would have been on the spot to officially name Kolb the team's starter or return the reins to Skelton. Kolb's injury made the decision for him.
Rookie Ryan Lindley, a sixth-round draft pick from San Diego State, is Skelton's backup.

And so to Ben (nee Benji) Barba.
For the past two months, untold amounts of newsprint has been given over to torturous tales of pre-season army camps, sand hills and training sessions in the scorching sun.
"I felt like giving up," our heroes have been quoted as saying. "I pushed myself to the edge. I questioned my decision to join (insert name of club)."
But when Ben Barba told a trainer in Goulburn last weekend, "I don't want to play footy any more," it was a completely different matter. Barba has been having troubles off the field, as we all well know, and has been given time by his club to address these.
We all go into a very conventional way of thinking when these things happen, don't we? Once he gets his life in order, we assume, Ben Barba will be back.
It is a given in our society that if you are good at something, if you win acclaim for your abilities, and you are paid a lot of money for it, you will do it for as long as you can.
Why does it have to be like that? Discord would submit that this is only the norm because people accumulate responsibilities and pressures when they are successful, and are locked into doing what got them there, usually by financial factors.
I know I have written here before about our sport fawning over Sonny Bill Williams and Israel Folau, and how it shows a lack of self-respect on our part.
That is no indictment on those players' ambitions, even if the way SBW pursued his was initially offensive. In fact, I would contest that the most satisfying way for anyone to negotiate a working life is to become exceptional at something, quit, do something completely different, and repeat until retirement or death.
More of us would do that without the straps of responsibility digging into our shoulders, to paraphrase the character Ryan Bingham in Up In The Air.
If you are young, well paid, intelligent and beholden to no one there is nothing wrong with deciding you want to do something else even when the rest of the world wants you to stay where you are. To quote a lyric written by Warriors fan Jon Toogood: "When you go against the grain, do you know how beautiful you are?"
So beyond all the homilies and well-intentioned reassurances, we should afford Ben Barba the ultimate "space", "compassion" and "freedom".
The freedom to get his life in order, be a perfectly balanced human being, and still not "want to play footy any more".
THE best part of the new NRL commercial is women being depicted playing rugby league – or touch footy – rather than just cheering in the stands.
Many have seen the Women In League round as having a hint of tokenism in recent years with washing jumpers and working in the canteen given more plaudits than actually putting on the boots and playing.
It is to be hoped women's rugby league becomes more closely associated with the men's game in Australia, as it is in New Zealand.
I'm back in Oz now after five months on the road, and I want to thank everyone who has supported the column since it was taken on by The Sydney Morning Herald.
Last week, Red Top said turning down the Auckland Nines offer would be a sign of insularity among NRL clubs. But isn't the fact they are set to play it among themselves a sign of insularity anyway?
Don't Get It made some points about safety and tackling styles. But if techniques that were once safe are now dangerous, I still think doctors need to protect players from them.
Tony said the Auckland Nines would fail – I assume he means commercially. All the more reason, then, for us to get something out of it for ourselves. See my column in Wednesday's Rugby League Week.
Andy Daley argued that Auckland is also a league town. I would say it is the biggest league town in New Zealand, for sure! And the only place where the game sometimes gives rugby union a run for its money.
Thomas Foolery said the club season should only go for 22 rounds. He's right, of course, but we are now locked into television contract in which the game has offered broadcasters 26 – so it's not going to change any time soon.
Gav asked what was happening with the UK television rights for the NRL. I get asked this every second day. There is a theory out there that they have been bought by the new BT Vision platform, which won't be on air until August. That's why nothing is being said. Whether round one is available on Ustream … will be very interesting indeed.
Timmy83 said he was told by the NRL that Setanta would be broadcasting games online and on TV – but wasn't sure of the territories. Thanks for the info, Timmy.
James Cook questioned Cameron Smith's opposition to the Nines. I am not sure the banning of the shoulder charge will improve rugby league James – it's just a necessary evil. As for Cameron, if he has concerns for players' welfare because of an increasing workload, I would have thought it was commendable that he speak up. It's just an opinion, after all – until the RLPA gets involved.
Podcast will be back next week

There is something so refreshing about a new year. The slate is blank, the book of the past year has been closed and there is a potential to start anew – to "get things right this time." We all enjoy this feeling of having another chance to love more, to live more and to improve our lives.
Upon this new year, with a new moon aligning with it, there is an even more powerful opportunity to start fresh and fulfill the dreams that still lay dormant in our hearts. Nature and time have teamed up to give us an even greater opportunity to hit the restart button. This is a rare occasion and one that can change our lives in an instant, if we so choose.
Yet, let's take this opportunity a step deeper. Let us examine what it is that makes us feel that a new moon, or even a new year, is necessary to start from square one. These natural phases are locked into time and space, yet perhaps we ourselves are not naturally locked into them.
What if we let go of the notion that we need time and space to dictate when we are given second chances? We know that space isn't exactly what it appears to be – the new moon is only from our earthly perspective and our seeming reality of things. And we all know that the calendar we use to make sense of time is man-made. If we traveled off the planet, it would be irrelevant. Yet, these concepts lock us into time and space and into limiting beliefs of our boundaries. We buy into the belief that only on rare occasions, such as a new year, are we offered a completely new beginning.
We don't necessarily need these points of reference in order to shed the past and open to new possibilities, do we? What if we allowed each and every moment to be new? What if we allowed ourselves to be completely empty of the past and only ever aware of being right where we are? We hear so often to "be in the now" in order to be at peace, yet we constantly recreate the past in our minds, keeping it alive and causing ourselves and others to suffer. We carry the weight of our stories with us, seeing our lives through the lens of what we believe happened, what we believe didn't happen and what we believe should've happened. It feels so heavy, doesn't it?
Even after the new year and new moon have come and gone, as all occurrences of time and space naturally do, let us go beyond our seeming boundaries and continue to live life in this way – beginning new each morning and in each and every moment. If it's challenging, let us investigate what keeps us stuck. The past is only real in our minds, yet it is usually held onto tightly. We can only watch a movie so many times before it gets old, yet we continue to play our personal movies over and over – sometimes even hoping for a better ending. What is it that keeps us replaying the same groove over and over?
Being new in this moment opens the sky of possibilities. Being new in each moment opens up the universe. Celebrate this new year in time, yet know that time is bound. This freshness is beyond time, space and all concepts. This doesn't need time or space to give it definition. It doesn't need anything, yet it is seen only with an open mind and a childlike wonder of the beauty that it reveals.
In this space of openness, we are effortlessly reset anew over and over again. And all that we see around us can also be fresh and untouched by past concepts and stories. We can continually choose to experience life in the field of this mysterious now – new, empty and full of potential. And better yet, we can rest in this eternal now, knowing it is our true nature and it is love, complete.

GEEFS announced in January that it was providing an undisclosed amount of equity funding to the 166 MW Hackberry Wind Project in Texas, a project completed in December by developer Renewable Energy Systems Americas. In December, Chicago-based Invenergy LLC announced the successful closing of equity financing with GEEFS and Metlife for the 150 MW McAdoo Energy wind farm in Texas and the 99 MW Grand Ridge Energy Center in Illinois.
"In both of these cases these were commitments made when the market conditions were significantly different. We are following through on those commitments," says Katell.
GEEFS is still "selectively considering" new investments in wind power to utilise the federal government's production tax credit, which is granted on income from sales of wind produced electricity, he adds. "The bottom line is we want to do many more of these wind structured equity deals, but given the market conditions and the way the production tax is configured right now it's very difficult for investors such as us to participate in that market."
In January, Invenergy announced it had also secured equity funding for a portfolio of three projects generating a total of 354 MW of wind power in Texas, Oregon and New York. Invenergy did not disclose the amount and terms of the financing, but it did say that a consortium of investors that includes JP Morgan Capital Corporation and its affiliates, Wells Fargo and Union Bank NA, had taken an equity stake in the projects. IIF Coastal Winds Investment LLC also made an equity commitment. The financing includes construction loans underwritten by the New York branch of the German bank Bayerische Hypo und Vereinsbank AG.
The deal was for assets owned by Invenergy subsidiary Coastal States Wind Holdings LLC and includes the 169.5 MW Turkey Track Energy Center in Texas, which came online in December; the 112.5 MW High Sheldon Wind Farm in New York, scheduled to reach commercial operation this month; and the 72 MW Willow Creek Energy Center in Oregon, which began contracted power delivers in January.
Raising capital
Invenergy's Susan Dennison declines to say when the financing commitments were made, saying it is company policy not to discuss specific details. But she says Invenergy "has continued to raise new capital" despite the current global economic climate. "We are optimistic that the strength of our projects and our execution record will continue to enable Invenergy to obtain necessary financing."
Portugal's EDP Renováveis SA also announced in December that JP Morgan Capital Corporation, New York Life Insurance Company and New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation would make equity investments of $265 million in a portfolio of project brought online in 2008 by its subsidiary, Houston-based Horizon Wind Energy LLC. The company did not specify the projects included in the portfolio. Horizon failed to respond to requests for further information.

President Barack Obama comforts town, vows to work to prevent more mass shootings
Tells mourners the nation must change
NEWTOWN, Conn. — President Obama on Sunday vowed to use "whatever power this office holds'' in coming weeks to prevent mass shootings like the one that killed 26 people at an elementary school last week, 20 of them small children.
Obama, speaking to hundreds of mourners assembled at Newtown High School, said he would gather law enforcement officials, educators, and mental health workers to find ways to prevent future shootings. As he spoke, many in the audience sobbed, clutched teddy bears or hugged their children.
"We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end,'' the president said in a televised speech that lasted nearly 20 minutes. "And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex and that is true. No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society, but that can't be an excuse for inaction. Surely we can do better than this.''
The president had wept Friday when told of the shootings, but on Sunday he spoke with somber resolve. He offered few details, but made clear that politics should not trump public safety, and that America had to act to protect its children.
"Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard?'' he asked. "Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?''
To make his point, he read the names of each victim. At the end, the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
Hundreds gathered outside Newtown High School during the vigil, listening to Obama, other speeches and prayers as they held candles and American flags. As Obama spoke, the crowd outside stood quietly and sheltered their candles from the wind.
The president's address followed reports that the 20-year-old killer, Adam Lanza, wore combat gear and brandished a semiautomatic weapon, handguns and a staggering cache of ammunition when he blasted his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday, raising the chilling possibility that the carnage might have been more extensive had police not arrived so quickly.
Authorities are still investigating the mass killings, but on Sunday the Connecticut medical examiner said Lanza's mother, Nancy, was killed by multiple gunshot wounds to the head in their Newtown home. Then, authorities said, Lanza drove to the school, blasted through glass to get into the locked building, shooting two first-grade classes of 6- and 7-year-olds, with the powerful Bushmaster .223. He also killed the principal, a school psychologist, and four teachers.
Lanza shot himself in the head as police stormed the school minutes after the first urgent calls for help. The state medical examiner on Sunday ruled his death a suicide.
Connecticut State Police Lieutenant J. Paul Vance said Sunday that a motive in the shooting remained unclear but the swift police response probably halted Lanza.
"We know that those teams did rescue a number of people,'' Vance said. "We're sure that the gunman knew that the authorities were there and coming in to stop the threat.''
The shooting in the affluent, scenic town an hour southwest of Hartford stunned a nation and quickly reignited an impassioned national debate over gun control laws.
In Boston, Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley called in his Sunday homily for a ban on assault rifles and improved care for the mentally ill.
"What has happened in these days in Newtown, Connecticut, is a tragedy of almost biblical proportion,'' the cardinal said.
Amid the bitter cold and rain on Sunday, Newtown descended into grief, wracked by unanswered questions. Police do not know what drove Lanza to don combat gear and head to the school with the Bushmaster, other guns, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
The 20-year-old loner had a suspected personality disorder but Vance said he knew of no known criminal record as of Sunday. It is also unclear why his mother, Nancy Lanza, had a cache of weapons at home.
The Associated Press, citing an anonymous law enforcement source, said Nancy Lanza was found in her pajamas in bed, with four gunshot wounds to the head from a .22-caliber rifle.
Lanza's father, Peter Lanza, a General Electric executive, issued a statement saying his family was "heartbroken.''
"We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can,'' Lanza said. "We too are asking why.''
In Newtown on a cold and rainy Sunday, the grief unfolded in stark contrast to the garlands of holiday lights adorning the town.
Parishioners flooded St. Rose of Lima Church for services, interrupted briefly when someone phoned in a threat.
Over the weekend, the survivors and their families battled grief to share the stories of compassion and heroism of loved ones lost.
Victoria Soto, the 27-year-old teacher and daughter of a state worker, reportedly hid her students in a closet to save them. Emilie Parker, a charming 6-year-old, drew pictures and cards to comfort people who were sad. School Principal Dawn Hochsprung, 47, lunged at the shooter after he blasted a hole in a window to get in.
Many turned to the grim task of planning funerals.
The family of Noah Pozner, a 6-year-old victim, said services are scheduled for Monday.
Amid the mourning Sunday, an army of electricians, plumbers, painters and other volunteers descended on a shuttered middle school in the neighboring town of Monroe. They planned to reopen Chalk Hill school for Sandy Hook students starting on Wednesday, said Monroe Police Lieutenant Brian McCauley.
"They're trying to restore as much of a sense of normalcy as possible. And normalcy comes with going to a safe and secure building,'' McCauley said.
McCauley spoke Sunday as he watched scores of volunteers scrub floors, wipe windows and search for tables and chairs to accommodate small children. Police cordoned off the school, at the end of a long driveway, and will continue to guard it once school starts.
"We're a small, New England town,'' he said. "We work with our neighbors. Everybody pulls together.''
Connecticut Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor told the Associated Press on Sunday that it was ''too soon to know'' if the Sandy Hook school building will ever reopen.
In Massachusetts, some public schools will hold a moment of silence Monday as students return to class. Principals at Newton South High and Newton North High e-mailed announcements to the school communities over the weekend, assuring parents and students that security procedures were in place and offering tips on how to handle questions about the tragedy.
Boston and other school systems planned to increase police presence this week to reassure students and parents.

Home Security in Dover Base Housing, Delaware
According to jsu.edu, each year there are over 2.2 million burglaries in the US, which means that every 15 seconds, a burglary is committed
Your Chances of Becoming a Victim of a Burglary in Dover Base Housing, WI
No one likes thinking about potentially becoming a victim of crime in Delaware, but every single day in the US a break-in happens every 4 seconds. It's easy to say "it won't happen to me" but 2.2 million families fall victim of burglaries each year in the US. Don't let your home in Dover Base Housing become part of those statistics. Installing a new home security system and along with monitoring from ADT your home could be protected and your family safer.
Homeowners Insurance
Did you know that ADT Home Security monitoring is so effective that many homeowners insurance providers offer discounts to policyholders with their security systems. By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
ADT 6-Month Money Back Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Delaware Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Delaware residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact the police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button, you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button, your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
Tip: Things to know about home owners insurance
At our house, we've been talking about our mortgage payment because it switches to an adjustable rate mortgage at the end of this year and we're nervous. We also got our property tax bill last week and it was significantly higher than in previous year's—about 25% higher, which was a surprise. All that adds up to housing costs being top of mind today! ~ www.safestreetsusa.com
Fortunately, among the trifecta of home ownership costs—mortgage, property taxes and insurance—homeowners do have some control over one of the three at least: insurance.
One, how to lower the cost of your homeowner's insurance
The Insurance Information Institute lists 12 practical ways to lower your homeowner's insurance costs:
Two, get a home security system
A home security system can lower your costs for homeowner's insurance by up to 20%, but a home security system is also a deterrent—and wouldn't you rather avoid the burglary in the first place? Since 90% of burglars say they ignore a house with an obvious home security system, you'll decrease the chance of a break-in, which protects not only your property but also your peace of mind.
Third, do an inventory just in case
Despite the best laid plans, your house might be burglarized. If that happens, you'll lose items of monetary value, but you'll also lose your sense of security—for a while, at least. It will be hard to feel safe in your own home. You can minimize the damage done by a burglary with an inventory done ahead of time. ~ read more

am basically attempting to create a calculator using a class hierarchy - the basic function will be:
Convert the String representation into a list of Tokens
Convert the List of Tokens into Polish Notation
Calculate the result on the basis of Polish Notation
I also need to represent objects -
numbers operators and brackets.
Following this i need to convert to polish notation - using a shunting yard algorithm and then compute the answer.
I am ok with understanding the shunting yard but am unsure as to the class hierarchy part.
The precedence is - Addition and Subtraction have a precedence of 2, and Multiplication and Division have a precedence of 3.
I am assuming i need a filereader class and also classes to handle the different objects.
I also need help in creating my own stacks and queues.

This module generates temporary file names. It is not Unix specific, but it may require some help on non-Unix systems.
The module defines the following user-callable functions:
The mode parameter defaults to
'w+b' so that the file
created can be read and written without being closed. Binary mode is
used so that it behaves consistently on all platforms without regard
for the data that is stored. bufsize defaults to
meaning that the operating system default is used. suffix is
passed to mktemp().
The module uses two global variables that tell it how to construct a temporary name. The caller may assign values to them; by default they are initialized at the first call to mktemp().
None, this variable defines the
directory in which filenames returned by mktemp() reside.
The default is taken from the environment variable TMPDIR; if
this is not set, either /usr/tmp is used (on Unix), or the
current working directory (all other systems). No check is made to
see whether its value is valid.
template variable directly.
New in version 1.5.2.
When set to a value other than
None, this variable defines the
prefix of the final component of the filenames returned by
mktemp(). A string of decimal digits is added to generate
unique filenames. The default is either @pid. where
pid is the current process ID (on Unix),
~pid- on Windows NT, Python-Tmp- on
MacOS, or tmp (all other systems).
Older versions of this module used to require that
template be
set to
None after a call to os.fork(); this has not
been necessary since version 1.5.2.

Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, Inc.

Keep up to date on Illinois thoroughbred racing. Everything you need to know in one spot under our Media Center
We represent our membership in its relationships with the race tracks, at Illinois Racing Board meetings, at the state Capitol in connection with legislation affecting horsemen and horse racing, and at industry meetings throughout the country.
The ITHA collaborates closely with race track management at both Hawthorne and Arlington, as well as with the Illinois Racing Board, to advocate for the interests of horsemen.
Through the Chicago Thoroughbred Horsemen's Foundation, the ITHA provides benevolence to individuals working and/or living on the backstretches of our tracks.
Galloping Out is the ITHA's re-homing program for thoroughbreds that retire from our tracks. Galloping Out is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Finding Permanent and Loving Homes for Retired Racehorses
Illinois horsemen are committed to re-homing our horses when they retire from racing at Arlington Park or Hawthorne Racecourse. Galloping Out is an accredited organization that provides funding for the rescue, care, rehabilitation and retraining of thoroughbred race horses.
The Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association created Galloping Out in cooperation with the Chicago-area tracks. The program, is a 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit Illinois corporation, which began in April 2010 with ITHA Board Member Nate Ruffolo as the founding President. Galloping Out continues as an arm of the ITHA. The program is funded by the ITHA, Arlington Park Race Track, Hawthorne Race Course and charitable contributions (which may be tax deductible).
We marked the program's eighth anniversary in 2018, and are proud to report we have re-homed more than 200 thoroughbreds.
The horses enter the program in all degrees of soundness and are rested and rehabbed from any racing injuries that they might have sustained. Race horses re-homed through Galloping Out become family horses. When physically able, they are retrained for many things. They spend their days trail riding or jumping. They do dressage, play polo, and work with children with developmental disabilities. One has appeared in a military parade and another starred in a TV commercial.
Our horses are hosted near such Illinois communities as Fulton, Galena, Harvard, Machesney Park, Mendota, Plano, Rockford, Sleepy Hollow and Yorkville.
Our horses also have found new homes in other states including Florida, Georgia and Montana.
Galloping Out is thrilled with the number of horses that have found new homes under our program and works very hard to make this something that everyone involved in Chicago racing is proud of. Click Here to Read the Letter of Accreditation from The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance

A telephone interview is usually short, just enough time to rule you in or out, so the focus is on questions that help evaluate you quickly. Your goal is to turn it into a face-to-face meeting, so your answers need to be concise. As a rule of thumb, keep your answers to less than two minutes, if an interviewer wants to know more s/he will ask.
"Tell me a little about yourself," is often the first question. Interviewers don't want your life story; they want to know if meeting you would be a good use of their time. Answer with a brief work history showing how each project and job helped prepare you for this job; then give a profile of the "professional you" addressing your skills as they relate to doing this job well.
"What experience do you have in…?" Make any discussion of your experience relevant to this job, and the specific skills you bring to executing it well. At its core, everything you do professionally is concerned with the identification, prevention and solution of problems within your area of responsibility. Your answers can show this awareness by saying that this is always part of your thinking and by giving examples of preventing or solving problems common to your area of responsibility.
"What are your strengths?" Slant your answer toward the specific skill requirements of the job, your problem prevention and solution headset, and your possession of the transferable professional skills such as Multi-tasking, Critical Thinking, and the eight Communication skills (see any Knock em Dead book) that underlie success in every job.
"What are your weaknesses?" You can safely, and honestly, say that your greatest weakness is finding time to stay current with all the new technologies/skills required in your work, because it's a challenge everyone experiences. Then you give an example(s) of how you have made time to develop an in-demand new skill.
"How much do you want?" If the interviewer asks about money, say that at this point you don't know enough about the company or the job to answer accurately, "I have no real understanding of the job, your company or the different benefits that could come from joining your team, so obviously my discussion of salary without this knowledge can't be entirely accurate. However, after analysis of employment sites, salary calculators and talking with colleagues, I would be looking at something in the range of $XX, 000-$YYY, 000."
The telephone interview comes to an end when you are asked whether you have any questions. If you have not already been invited to meet the interviewer, now is the time to take the initiative, "The most pressing question I have is when can we meet?"
In closing your conversation, take care to ascertain the correct spelling and pronunciation of the interviewer's name, for your follow-up email.

Please help with an explanation of techniques described in Example Thread:
1. Created two instances "clan :: Texture2D"
2. Created two instances "clan :: PixelBuffer"
3. Parallel thread calculates fractal and writes it to one of the "clan :: PixelBuffer", and the second is used to read in the main thread. Everything is ok.
4. Next the same change "clan :: Texture2D"
First buffering at "clan :: PixelBuffer", then again at the level of "clan :: Texture2D", and then a third time at the level of graphics system when doing `window.flip (0);`
If I comment out the buffering level "clan :: Texture2D", the example works without visible changes, so it is not necessary from a technical aspect, and perhaps methodologically.
Can someone explain what the author conceived in this example?

Amazon is getting into the TV business in a big way. Amazon Studios on Monday said it is moving forward with a pilot based on the cult comedy film "Zombieland."
The show, like the movie, will follow four survivors as they try to outwit zombies and find a place to make their home. The movie's creative team of writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, producer Gavin Polone and director Eli Craig, will be involved.
The stars won't be back, but new casting has been announced: Kirk Ward will play Tallahassee, the role Woody Harrelson played in the movie. Maiara Walsh takes over Emma Stone's role of Wichita, Tyler Ross is set as Columbus, Jesse Eisenberg's character and Izabela Vidovic takes over for Abigail Breslin as Little Rock.
"'Zombieland' will strive to break the rules--action, adventure, thrills, chills and laughs and all packed into a half hour format," creator Wernick said in a statement. "This is not your average show but Amazon is not your average network."
Once filmed, the "Zombieland" pilot and six other comedies (along with six children's show pilots) will be made available for free on Amazon Instant Video so that customers can watch and review them. That feedback will help determine which of the 13 pilots Amazon Studios will make into full-season productions, to air on Prime Instant Video.
"'Zombieland' is a fan favorite and we can't wait to see where this story line goes in a serialized format," Roy Price, director of Amazon Studios, said in a statement. "We've been announcing a lot of exciting exclusive content for Prime Instant Video, like 'Downton Abbey,' 'Under the Dome,' and 'Justified,' and we think adding original shows to that lineup is going to make Prime even more enticing for customers."

CLEVELAND (February 19, 2013) – Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald announced earlier today that the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, known as HIMSS, will be leasing on the fourth level 12,500 square feet for its Innovation Center, a unique and dynamic testing, demonstration, exhibition, and educational facility, with another 12,500 square feet of exhibition space, of the newly-named Global Center for Health Innovation (formerly the Cleveland Medical Mart). HIMSS also plans to double the size of the exhibition space by 2016. County Executive FitzGerald made the announcement during his annual "State of the County" address at the City Club in downtown Cleveland.
HIMSS is a cause-based, not-for-profit organization focused on improving healthcare through the best use of information technology and management systems. HIMSS, with its related organizations are headquartered in Chicago with additional offices in the United States, Europe and Asia, represents more than 52,000 individual members, of which more than two-thirds work in healthcare provider, governmental and not-for-profit organizations.
The HIMSS Innovation Center will provide ongoing services for health delivery organizations and health IT companies, along with exhibitions, educational programming, and consumer-oriented applications. In addition, the year-round interoperability showcase and exhibition space will further validate functionality for new and developing products using standards and customized testing in both a physical and virtual demonstration environment.
"We look forward to the opening in October of the HIMSS Innovation Center in the Global Center for Health Innovation. As we continue to build on our more than 14 years of leadership in and support of achieving seamless, secure exchange of electronic health information, our focus at HIMSS continues on interoperability, standards and harmonization initiatives, here in Cleveland and across the globe," says H. Stephen Lieber, CAE, HIMSS President and CEO.
With its scenario-based setting, the HIMSS Health IT Ecosystem will provide a fully operational, multi-facility environment populated with simulated patient demographic, clinical and financial data. The health and healthcare communities will be able to plug into this environment and both test and demonstrate a specific product's interoperability capabilities.
At the HIMSS Healthcare Technology Showcase, the health and healthcare community will find opportunities to participate in long-lasting exhibits themed around harnessing the power of IT in vital issues such as mobile devices, consumer-driven healthcare, and evidence-based care. The themed exhibits will show the value of the participating technologies in specific-use cases of the highlighted theme and serve as a point of collaboration.
HIMSS testing and educational services will be available virtually worldwide. The HIMSS space in the Global Center for Health Innovation will become a worldwide hub for health and health IT testing, demonstration, exhibitions, and consumer products, including the latest breakthroughs in mobile health devices and distance medicine technology.
The HIMSS educational offerings will leverage a variety of interoperability platforms, partner with other leaders in the facility, and create a full menu of educational programming for health and healthcare sector learners and conferences housed in the adjacent Cleveland Convention Center.
The newly renamed Global Center for Health Innovation more accurately reflects the purpose and mission of the facility and a natural transition in the business evolution of the Cleveland Medical Mart. The Global Center for Health Innovation is the only facility in the world that displays the future of health and healthcare, the majority of the participating partners have global reach and reputation, and the participating partners will draw international visitors to their spaces within the Global Center.
HIMSS exemplifies the global reach of the facility, as the sector's leader in health IT with offices around the world in Chicago, Brussels, Singapore, Berlin, and Leipzig. The Healthcare Technology Showcase, much like the Interoperability Showcases held at HIMSS conferences, will enable solutions providers to work collaboratively instead of competitively to demonstrate and solve real-world healthcare delivery problems. HIMSS joins Cleveland Clinic, GE Healthcare, Johnson Controls, University Hospitals and Philips Healthcare as charter tenants in the Global Center.

Of all the clichés in the music world, the singer-songwriter dude-with-an-acoustic-guitar shtick may be the most prevalent. On any given night, Chicagoans can subject themselves to the painfully earnest caterwauling of singer-songwriters at a number of venues. One such dude, George Hunter, seemed to become aware of the cliché early on, so he recruited longtime friends Miguel Castillo (bass) and Ryan Farnham (drums) to play with him in what became Catfish Haven. Because they grew up playing punk, they mostly avoid acoustic-rock conventions by channeling punk's aggression and intensity. Few similar bands match the racket Catfish Haven makes, but few bands mix elements of folk, country, rock, and punk so well. Last summer, the group signed with indie label Secretly Canadian (home to Antony & The Johnsons, Damien Jurado, and Magnolia Electric Co.), which released the group's second EP, Please Come Back, in late January. The A.V. Club recently spoke to Catfish Haven about their sound, their plans, and their attempts to avoid boring the shit out of audiences.
The A.V. Club: For people who grew up in the punk scene, Catfish Haven's acoustic-guitar focus is a little unusual. How did that come together?
George Hunter: We've known each other for quite a while, and when we got together, I had already bought an acoustic about a year earlier. I was writing a bunch of songs in my bedroom, just taking time off from playing with anybody. I had been playing in bands since I was 14. But I had a batch of songs—I wanted to somehow translate that into a live show, but without boring the shit out of the audience, I guess.
AVC: You guys, particularly Miguel and Ryan, play really hard. Is that a conscious thing, like you want to sound aggressive even without a screeching electric guitar?
Miguel Castillo: I think we play louder than some bands, but I think since we don't sing backups, and there is no lead guitar, sometimes we kind of play lead guitar on bass or play lead guitar on drums, filling it up that way. We grew up playing in punk bands, so we've always had to thrash a little bit.
Ryan Farnham: I think we all like stuff that's sort of hard-hitting, and we give it our all when we play.
AVC: Catfish Haven's sound isn't easily classifiable; it isn't country or folk or straight-up rock. When people ask you what the band sounds like, what do you say?
MG: People have said "Creedence Clearwater meets Nirvana" or "Otis Redding meets Nirvana"—we've gotten weird comparisons like that. [Laughs.] So that's sort of what we say. It's been weird, because we've been thrown in a lot of different places that we don't necessarily fit.
AVC: Secretly Canadian distributed your self-released debut EP, Good Friends, and you've got another EP coming out now. Why not just do a full-length?
MG: The Good Friends EP didn't happen until after we signed to Secretly Canadian, and the reason we did that was so we could tour last fall. You need a release out to tour, is what we were told. [Laughs.] So that was the reason we re-distributed Good Friends. But another reason we wanted to do an EP is to get it in the hands of the right people without the expectations you have with a full-length, or the pressure. Basically, it preps people for the full-length, which we just wrapped up recording in December.
AVC: What's the plan for that?
GH: We were originally going to release it in April, but we were having trouble with deadlines as far as artwork and stuff like that, so we felt it was best to push it back [to fall] and give ourselves some room to breathe. We could just promote Please Come Back for a while, because we're totally proud of that record, so we wouldn't mind trying to get that out as much as possible. We feel it's just as relevant as the full-length we just worked on.
AVC: Are you nervous that the songs will be really old and boring to you by the time the album comes out?
GH: Oh, they've been old to us for a while. [Laughs.] There is sentimental value with every single song we write, and in some way, shape, or form, every song holds its own in our eyes, so we don't really have a problem playing old ones.
AVC: What's been the toughest part of getting Catfish Haven established?
MG: It's hard just getting people to pay attention, even trying to get the shows when we were trying to book them ourselves—just trying to get them to listen to the CD we sent, or even acknowledge they received it. You really just have to hang in there and try to get people to know you exist, you know? That's probably the hardest thing: You've gotta be really patient.
AVC: You have a booking agent now, but it's not like that automatically means huge shows with enraptured audiences.
MG: Like you said earlier, we don't necessarily fit easily into categories. I think it's a good thing overall, but it's sometimes a disadvantage, like they can't just throw you in. "Oh you sound like that band, so now you can play with that band." Sometimes we encounter that, but in the long run I think it's a good thing that we don't fit exactly perfect. But when you're starting out, sometimes it's an obstacle.

The Lord led the just in right paths. And the Lord showed him the Kingdom of God.
Eternal Shepherd, graciously guard Thy flock, and through blessed Damasus, Thy Supreme Pontiff, whom Thou did appoint pastor of the universal Church, keep it under Thy continual protection.
Answering the question: who is Jesus Christ, we would say...
Pope Damasus I (366-384) in a letter to the bishops of the East dated around 374, pointed out and at the same time rejected the errors of both Arius and of Apollinaris, "These (i.e., the Arians) posit in the Son of God an imperfect divinity, while the others (i.e., the Apollinarists) falsely affirm that the humanity of the Son of Man is incomplete. If the Son of God did not become fully man, then God's work is imperfect and our salvation is imperfect, because the whole man has not been saved! We, who know that we have been saved in the fullness of the human being, profess according to the faith of the Catholic Church that God in the fullness of his being has assumed human nature in its fullness."
This letter of Damasus, written fifty years after Nicaea, was directed principally against the Apollinarists (cf. DS 146). A few years later the First Council of Constantinople (381) condemned all the heresies of the time, including Arianism and Apollinarism. It thereby confirmed what Pope Damasus I had declared about Christ's humanity, which has by nature a real human soul (and therefore a real human intellect and free will) (cf. DS 146, 149, 151). (from the Conciliar Definitions of Christ, 9 March 1988)

The Top 5 Fat-Burning Spices
Losing weight can be a lot easier if you spice up your food. Add these top five fat-burning spices to your diet to ramp up weight loss:
1. Garlic and 2. Onions; These yummy foods contain phytochemicals that break down fatty deposits in the body while also breaking down cholesterol; kill viruses, bacteria and fungi; and protect against heart disease.
3. Turmeric: this popular spice, used primarily in Indian cooking, is the highest known source of beta-carotene, the antioxidant that helps protect your liver from free radical damage. Turmeric also helps your liver heal while helping your body metabolize fats by decreasing the fat storage rate in liver cells. Turmeric has the added advantage of being shown in study after study to protect the brain against damage, including diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
4. Cinnamon: Researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture showed that one-quarter teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with food helps metabolize sugar up to 20 times better than without cinnamon. Excess sugar in the blood can lead to fat storage. Because cinnamon balances blood sugar levels it has the added advantage of stabilizing mood and energy levels.
5. Chiles: Add some heat to your food to fire up your metabolism. Capsaicin, the active ingredient in chile peppers, significantly improves fat burning. Additionally, chiles help boost energy levels as well.
It's easy to benefit from the fat-burning ability of spices. Simply start adding more fresh garlic and onions to your vegetable dishes, soups, stir-fries, stews, and curries. Turmeric is excellent in curry dishes. Cinnamon is not only good with sweet foods, it is also excellent in savory dishes and can be added to Asian-inspired foods like curries, stir-fries, and stews. Chiles can be added to almost anything for a blast of heat.
Leesa recommends all your spices, onions, and chiles be organic!

Acne? Bad skin?
NoAcnin, for stimulating skin renewal
- NoAcnin is for both men and women.
- NoAcnin is a natural product.
- NoAcnin comes in a capsule taken orally.
- NoAcnin targets latent viruses. Controlling latent viruses helps maintain healthy levels of DHT and androgen receptor in the skin, which stimulates skin renewal.†
- NoAcnin has no side effects.†
- If it does not work for you, you can always return it for a full refund.
- The NoAcnin formula was developed analyzing thousands of scientific studies using artificial intelligence (AI).
- NoAcnin is sold by Lilac Corp, the company that sells the highly acclaimed Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin.
What Is NoAcnin?
NoAcnin is a patented herbal treatment. The formula includes 100 mg of a quercetin extract, 150 mg of a green tea extract, 50 mg of a cinnamon extract, 25 mg of a licorice extract, 130 mg of a curcumin extract, and 100 mcg of selenium. NoAcnin was launched at the end of 2017.
What is acne?
Acne is a very common skin condition; so common that it affects around 80% of young adults. Although it usually appears during puberty, it can persist into adulthood with harmful effects on self-esteem. Acne is found on the face, neck, back, and shoulders. [1] The milder form of acne consists of whiteheads and blackheads. The more severe form causes intense inflammation, lasts longer, and can leave scars. [2]
What causes acne?
Acne, in men and women, is caused by an increase in production of two proteins: 5α-reductase (5α-R) and androgen receptor (AR). [3],[4]
The 5α-R protein converts testosterone, the common male-sex hormone, into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). [3],[5] Since there is more of the 5α-R protein in acne, there is also more DHT.
Both testosterone and DHT bind to the androgen receptor (AR), but DHT is much better at binding. [6] Since there is more DHT, and since there is more AR, there is more DHT protein bound to AR.
When DHT binds to AR, the new complex made of these two proteins sends a signal to the hair follicle to produce oil called sebum. The abnormal level of sebum in the hair follicles clogs the hair follicle, causing the formation of whiteheads and blackheads. The clogged follicle traps bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes, which multiplies into high numbers and turns into inflammation and acne. [7]
As you remember, the initial event that starts acne is the increase in production of the two proteins 5α-R and AR. What is the cause of this increase?
Latent viruses. Viruses can be in a latent or active state. Most people harbor a latent viral infection with more than 95% infected with EBV, more than 70% infected with CMV, and more than 90% infected with HSV-1 in many nations. [8] Viruses in their latent state are often dismissed as harmless. However, Hanan Polansky shows in his book 'Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease' that latent viruses can cause disease. [9]
According to Dr. Hanan Polansky, the genes of common latent viruses compete with the human genes for specific factors found in the nucleus of the cell. The viruses are often stronger and win this competition. Since these factors are rare, the viruses reduce the availability of these factors to the human genes. This causes abnormal production of proteins in the human host. Dr. Polansky called the fight between viral genes and human genes microcompetition. [9]
In the case of acne, microcompetition between the viral genes and the genes of the two proteins 5α-R and AR causes an increase in the production of these two proteins. [9] When the two proteins reach a high level, the hair follicle produces a lot of sebum, resulting in inflammation and acne. [5]
How does NoAcnin work?
NoAcnin targets the latent viruses in the skin. Controlling latent viruses helps the body maintain normal levels of 5α-R, DHT, and AR, which helps the skin rejuvenate.†

The new regulations from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service are, of course, intended to wreck the demand for new ivory and thereby protect the elephants. The NYT has an op-ed titled "The Wrong Way to Protect Elephants," which doesn't really offer much hope of finding a right way:
We should encourage China, where much of the poached ivory ends up, to start a detailed public education campaign that underscores the damage done to elephant populations by the illegal trade in ivory. We also need more aggressive enforcement of anti-poaching efforts in Africa. And we should figure out a way to manage the trade in raw ivory to protect elephants. For instance, several years ago, ivory stockpiles owned by several African countries were sold in a series of United Nations-approved auctions in an effort to undercut illegal ivory trafficking. The proceeds went to elephant conservation efforts. This is a better approach than destroying these stockpiles, as the United States did last fall to six tons of ivory.Here's a comment at the second link:
First, that some folks, who own ivory objects, can't import them, export them or sell them, because they can't prove they were legally taken, and that this is a sad thing for them because they have sentimental attachments to them. My response? Too bad. Those objects have the stench of death. This is why I had all those ivory keys on MY piano removed and destroyed. I did not want to touch those objects, once I was made aware of what they meant.It's extreme and hysterical to hate the existing objects, but I don't see how good liberals can object to policymaking that takes aim at affluent Americans and their cherished property. I don't see how good liberals can say: Why don't they go educate the ignorant Chinese and imprison more of those brutal Africans? There's some absurdly blind snobbery in stroking NYT readers about the beautiful pianos and violin bows and elderly art objects. Where's the usual assumption that it's the rich who must pay? Is there some high-culture exception to the usual empathy with Third Worlders?

Ladies and gentleman,
Being bit of a narcissist I would like to nominate myself for this challenge.
Well because I can !
Also It took me whole 15 minutes to think about what to write for this daily prompt. YES, I'll continue my rant about how shittier daily prompt is becoming till….well till it stops becoming shittier..until my last breath.
Now coming to encounter with myself, when I'll look at myself for the first time ever:
Then I'll be like "Gosh who's that sexy beast?!"
Then I'll totally fan girl scream over myself: "Look who's that !!! Look who's that !!!"
Then uncomfortably I'll probably hit on myself:
I'm pretty sure we are gonna hit it off well…contemplate together how fucked up we both are and then…
So this is how it will end…we gonna become BFF's (Best friends forever) . *hugs it out*
*Wipes a tear away*
