I think the best age is when you're both prepared. Once you've finished your studies, have a good income and are prepared to live on your own and support a family between the two.

In the aftermath of a series of shootings at a school on the East Coast that left 27 people dead as of Friday afternoon, Roseville Public Schools Supeintendent John Thein offered his condolences on behalf of District 623. He added that the district would continue to make student and teacher safety a top priority.
Here is the statement that Thein issued earlier today that was posted on the school district's website:
Dear Friends:
A tragic event took place today in Connecticut. An armed intruder killed eighteen elementary students and eight staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This senseless act of violence against innocent children and their beloved staff members has shocked the entire nation.
The loss of any life is a tragedy, but the loss of 26 is a catastrophe without understanding. Prayers of the entire 623 Family and the entire nation are with the Sandy Hook School community and especially to those who have lost a loved one.
It is only natural for all of us to think not only about the victims of this horrendous act but also think about our own children and their safety and security.
As Superintendent of Roseville Schools, I want you to know that the first priority of each member of the 623 staff is the safety of your most precious possession, your child. Roseville Area Schools works closely with community and County law enforcement agencies to prepare to meet unexpected emergencies.
To ensure the safety of our students, staff and guests, Roseville Area Schools' buildings use only one entrance. Each building has a second set of doors or a security person to provide a second line of security before a person is allowed to enter the school. All visitors are required to explain their presence in the school and the reason for their visit.
Staff are trained to challenge any unfamiliar person they encounter in the school and immediately report any unusual activity in the School. All building staff are trained to lockdown and secure the school in case of a threat in or outside the school. All facilities also have video surveillance cameras.
All these precautions and others will not be successful without the support of our community. Parents and other guests in our schools are asked to abide by the school district safety and security procedures. Together, we will continue to provide a safe and secure learning environment for our learners of all ages.
Tonight, or a day in the future, your child may ask to talk to you about the events of today in Connecticut. As a parent or guardian, taking time to communicate with your child on any topic is wise and helps your child to deal with the trauma of this horrible event.
Roseville Area Schools will be there to support you and your child in dealing with the events of today. Social workers, counselors and other school staff will be available today and every day forward to assist you and your family.
Please keep the Sandy Hook Community in your thoughts and prayers.
Dr. John Thein
Meanwhile, Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius offered these thoughts on the tragedy:
"Today, innocent children and educators lost their lives in an unspeakable tragedy. When we send our children to school, we expect they will be safe and secure. Nothing is worse than when our confidence is shaken and the safety of a child is put into question. Our hearts go out to the Newtown community as they begin the long process of healing in the days, weeks and months to come."
And the National Association of School Psychologists offered these suggestions for talking with children about violence.

By C.V. Moore
For the Daily Telegraph
FAYETTEVILLE — Long before Theophilus Gaines ever made his way to Fayette County after the Civil War, two white oak trees sprouted from a stump. They eventually grew together into one enormous trunk, and then, hundreds of years later, a powerful derecho split the tree in two once again.
Now, the new owners of the historic Gaines property in Fayetteville are attempting to save the white oak, which counts among the largest of its kind in the state.
Standing alone in a pasture, the tree, with its lichen-covered branches and wide, sturdy crown, has the aura of a lonely survivor.
"That tree was probably one of the original trees in the original forest," says Allen Waldron of the West Virginia Division of Forestry, who recently measured the tree for inclusion in the state's Big Tree Registry.
He says it could be anywhere from 200 to 400 years old. It's hard to tell a tree's age without boring a hole into its heart and taking a core sample, or cutting it down to count the rings.
"And we don't want to do that," he says.
Neither does Bill Wells, part-owner of Cascade Properties, the company that recently purchased the historic Gaines Estate to create a resort, conference center and vacation rentals.
After the June 29 windstorm, Wells was driving through the 190-acre property inspecting for damage. He had already noted several enormous downed oaks at the edge of his pasture, when he saw the crack in the tree, wide enough to see a fair amount of daylight.
"I was disappointed. We don't want to lose the tree. It's such a beautiful tree," said Wells.
He and his wife, Sally, took some measurements of the tree and submitted them to the Big Tree Registry. They also hired Davey Tree Service to save it, along with an enormous maple on the property that has also split.
"Tree surgeons" with the company will install cables around the branches and steel rods in the base to bolt the two stems together and try to draw them in. They will also trim some of the tree's crown. Saving both trees will cost around $10,000 total.
The white oak stands in a high pasture field behind the historic Gaines Mansion, a neo-colonial residence on West Maple Avenue built circa 1920 by New River Company president Ebersole Gaines, according to a National Register of Historic Places nomination form prepared in 1990.
Wells guesses that the tree was here before any white settlers laid eyes on the land.
Waldron says it may have been spared when the pasture was developed, as shade for cattle. A barn on the property dates to the immediate post-Civil War period and still contains old milking equipment.
Now, a wooden bench sits at the base of the tree, ideal for contemplating the property's bucolic landscape, which includes a small orchard of apples and pears.
"It's a unique tree because of its age and the beauty of it," says Wells. "And it was important to the Gaines family as well, because they left it here. I think it's one of the first things you see when you come into the pasture field, especially in the summer when the leaves are on. It's a focal point."
When Turner Sharp answers the phone, he is sitting down by Cunard in the New River Gorge, measuring trees "just for fun." He likes to do it in the winter, when there's no poison ivy to worry about.
Sharp is the volunteer behind the Division of Forestry's newly updated Big Tree Registry, which is an "ongoing effort to locate, measure, and record the largest trees in the state." Besides forested areas, the trees are often found in towns, cemeteries, church lots, old home sites, and near springs.
"I do it just because many of the trees that have been felled or destroyed, very few accurate records were ever kept of what was there, and I was kind of interested to find out what's left," says Sharp.
"And I'd just like to know, under good growing conditions, what's the maximum a species can do. We really don't know."
The oldest white oak listed in the "Eastern OLDLIST" database of ancient trees in the Eastern United States is a 464-year-old specimen in Buena Vista, Va.
"To get a tree that big is pretty remarkable, given all these events — hurricanes, twisters, microbursts, and then the fires, insects, and disease," says Waldron.
"It's a wonder we have any of those big ones anymore. They survived all that through all those years. That's what makes it pretty remarkable to me."
Waldron measured the tree with electronic tools that use laser beams and sound to estimate distance. Its height of 80.9 feet, circumference of 229.5 inches, and average crown spread of 112.75 feet mean it scored 338.6 points on the International Society of Arboriculture grading scale. A few points will be deducted to adjust for the crack through the tree.
The W.Va. Big Tree Database, current through the spring of 2011, lists only two other white oaks in the state that would beat out Fayetteville's in size — the largest of these is in Summersville. But Sharp says that a new white oak added to the database this year in Tucker County scored a whopping 360, bumping the Fayetteville tree out of the top three.
Wells was hoping for a champion on his property, but Dan Parker, a professional forester with Tillinghast and Neely Foresters who did the original timber survey for Cascade, says tree value is factored by more than just size.
Attributes like species type, placement within an estate, shape, and overall quality also contribute. Ultimately, he is measuring how much it would cost to replace the tree.
"Exceptional trees on properties of that nature add value to the property, and this is one of those trees," he says.
Parker estimated the worth of the white oak at $30,000.
"It was obvious that the owners thought a lot of it. It meant something to them," he said of the Gaines family, who left the tree to grow in the pasture.
Whatever that significance was in the past, Parker says that now one of its purposes for Wells and his business partners is to help attract visitors to the future Cascade Resort.
Wells says when building vacation rental houses on the property, he plans to cut the minimum number of trees possible and place the houses in a forested setting.
"The visitors will appreciate it, and it will be an asset for those purposes. The guests, the owners, and the community will benefit because of these trees that add significantly to the attractiveness of the property and the endeavor," he said.
"Oaks around the world have an image of strength, endurance and history. People just respond to it on a visceral level. And that adds value."
White oak trees are notably long-lived. They are a common native species in Appalachia that has traditionally been put to use in industry, whether it be furniture, flooring, or whiskey making. The strong, water-tight wood makes great staves for whiskey barrels.
But a white oak that's still alive has important uses too.
"It produces acorns, and that's really important for wildlife," said Waldron. "All those oak species are really important to deer, bear, turkey. The whole system is driven on those acorns.
"That one did pretty good this year on mast. You see a lot of acorns on the ground, so it's still producing."
Waldron said that despite its already advanced age, the white oak has a "good chance" of making it far into the future with the help of the steel pins and cables. That is, unless it suffers the blow of another heavy snow or lightning strike.
The Cascade property is also home to several other large tree specimens, including maples, a Norway spruce, another white oak, walnuts, buckeyes, and poplar.
But it's a gnarled, moss-covered European beech near the old mansion that really catches the visitor's eye. Waldron wants to record its dimensions too, but is a little perplexed about how to negotiate the measurement of its bulbous trunk.
The European beech, unlike the white oak, was planted by a human, some years ago, which leads Parker to wonder about its origins.
"There's a story behind it," he said. "It's not native. Somebody had to bring it over from Europe. Who did it and why they did it would be interesting to find out."
And with only three other European beeches currently in the state's Big Tree Database, Wells just may have a champion on his hands this time.

JTI grants $100,000 to preserve aging tobacco barns in county
- Last Updated on 07:41 AM 10/02/13
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
Japan Tobacco International will provide $100,000 in mini-grants to rehabilitate aging and weathered tobacco barns as part of Preservation Virginia's tobacco barn preservation project that began last year, Genevieve Keller, vice president of Preservation Virginia, announced Tuesday morning in Chatham.
The money, a one-year commitment that may be extended, will go to repair and stabilize tobacco barns in Halifax, Pittsylvania and Caswell counties.
Barn owners will be able to apply for money to repair their old structures, according to Halifax County Historical Society President Barbara Bass, who was on hand for the Tuesday morning announcement.
Grant workshops will be held in October and November, and applications are due by Jan. 15.
Eligible barns must be tobacco curing or "pack" barns or barns that are proven to have served in some capacity during the processing of tobacco and must be at least 50 years old or of historical and/or architectural significance.
Grant funds will be awarded to barns that possess enough integrity so that any work undertaken can be completed in a quality manner.
The grants will cover exterior improvements only such as roofs, foundations and logs or other siding repair or replacement.
Preservation Virginia began the Tobacco Barns Preservation Project in 2012 with the goals of raising awareness of the unique and irreplaceable rural and agricultural heritage of the tobacco-growing region and to help preserve and protect as many of the area's historic tobacco barns as possible.
A recently conducted survey revealed over 1,000 tobacco barns are still standing in Pittsylvania County alone, the majority of which need repair work.
If no action is taken soon, these irreplaceable historic assets will be lost, according to Sonja Ingram, field representative for Preservation Virginia.
For more information, contact Ingram at 434-770-1209.

LAWRENCE – A city woman has been sentenced to three months in jail for beating a cat so severely it had to be put down.
Nancy Rivera, 34, address unknown, pleaded guilty yesterday to animal cruelty. She was also sentenced to two years' probation and 60 hours of community service. She received 54 days credit toward her sentence, said Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokesperson for Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett.
Brady, a gray colored cat was found June 18 in severe pain, hiding in a rented room in a small boarding house in Lawrence where the crime occurred. The cat's owner lived in a room near the one occupied, at the time, by Rivera.
"Brady's face was swollen and he had blood on his paws," said investigating officer Martha Parkhurst, a veteran with 26 years of experience investigating and prosecuting for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "He was drooling and (the owner) confirmed that he was having trouble eating and was very quiet."
Parkhurst learned through interviews with boarding house staff that Rivera had used the stick-end of a mop to first beat the panicked cat down a flight of stairs, then cornered him in a bathroom while continuing the assault. Rivera stopped only when staff intervened. She then fled to her room.
The owner said he did not take Brady to the veterinarian because he could not afford the treatment. Brady was ultimately taken to Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, where X-rays confirmed a jaw injury so severe that the veterinary team concluded the kindest option would be to euthanize him.
The MSPCA-Angell Law Enforcement team works with the organization's adoption centers, hospital and advocacy experts to investigate animal abuse in Massachusetts. In 2011, the department investigated over 2,300 animal cruelty complaints in the state.
In 2012, the MSPCA has filed criminal charges in eight new animal cruelty cases and continues pursuing multiple ongoing cases in various stages of completion.

Progress Report toward Independent Identity
Last September's cover story examined the Identity Metasystem, proposed by Kim Cameron and his team at Microsoft, in support of personal identities that are independent of any vendor's silo. Microsoft's inaugural member of the Identity Metasystem is an identity selector called InfoCard and is due for inclusion in Vista when that operating system arrives in 2007. (It will be back-implemented for XP as well.)
Since then, the Identity Gang has grown in number, and it has held a series of meetings and workshops where progress has been dramatic and encouraging. In a meeting at Harvard in December 2005, Paul Trevithick of Social Physics introduced Higgins, a framework for building user-centric identity-enabled services. At the Internet Identity Workshop in January 2006 in Berkeley, creators of OpenID, LID and XRI/XDI joined various pieces to create Yadis: a new and simple combined lightweight identity system. At the Mountain View IIW in May 2006, a large conference room was packed with participants from Red Hat, Higgins, Identity Commons, XRI/XDI, the IETF, LID, Novell/SUSE, VeriSign, Tucows, OpenID and other interested parties, to engage Kim Cameron and Mike Jones of Microsoft—and to talk about open-source implementations of InfoCard.
That conversation has since been formalized in a series of phone calls and a mailing list called OSIS (Open Source Identity Selector). A report on the first of the weekly OSIS conference calls began with this:
We reaffirmed that the initial goal of the project is to build InfoCard selector implementations for non-Windows platforms that are compatible with the Microsoft implementation, with targets possibly including GNOME, KDE, Mac and mobile devices.
We agreed that the goal is to move quickly, enabling deployment of interoperable implementations by the time that Windows Vista ships.
Since then, progress has been so rapid and varied (within and between different participants) that it's hard to follow exactly what's going on. When I asked Paul Trevithick to summarize it for Linux Journal readers, he wrote back:
The situation is extremely fluid. The Red Hats, Novells, independents and others are all bouncing around trying to understand what's really going on.
There are now at least three efforts afoot that as either a total or a partial goal include creating an open-source capability to interoperate fully with Microsoft's InfoCard system and especially the specific ways that it uses WS-Trust and related protocols:
1) OSIS: effort appears to be defined as a clone of Microsoft's InfoCard software but for Mac and Linux.
2) Higgins: one of the highest priorities is to provide full interoperability with Microsoft's InfoCard and thereby to provide equivalent functionality on non-Windows platforms. (Higgins also has goals that are beyond authentication and security, and it will support other protocols.)
3) The UNC Lab of Information Integration, Security and Privacy Project (www.sis.uncc.edu/LIISP) under Dr Gail-Joon Ahn, which was presented at IIW2006.
...and there may be others. Kim has stated that Microsoft will provide technical support to any and all groups to enable them to achieve interoperability.
Two additional points. First, Dr Ahn's implementation is ready in advance of Microsoft's own. (To an enthusiastic reception by Microsoft folks at the May 2006 IIW, where the system was demonstrated.) Second, I know of at least one commercial InfoCard-compatible implementation, which should be ready by the time this issue is published.
Phil Windley, author of Digital Identity (O'Reilly, 2005) and an organizer of the Internet Identity Workshops, said:
For us to have a metasystem, we need identity selectors for Linux desktops, Macs and other platforms. It's impressive that the identity community accepts Kim Cameron's vision—that there needs to be interoperability. It's Kim's political acumen that enables this. He just put out the Laws and said, "Here's a system that obeys these, and it's open." It's important that InfoCard isn't Microsoft Kool-Aid. If Microsoft stopped, all this other stuff could keep working.
I've been impressed, all through this process, at how committed all these different development projects are to staying open toward each other, in the general directions where they might converge. For example, InfoCard and Yadis are solutions to different problems, yet there are design decisions both communities can make today that will be interoperable at some point in the future when their uses overlap.
As we know too well, being open source doesn't prevent market-halting incompatibilities and failures to interoperate. Why, other than adherence to principles of niceness, are all these projects working to keep things from breaking as they grow in converging directions?
Phil Windley says there may be a couple of subtle reasons. First, "Sometime early last year, the competing participants got to the point where they said, 'We don't have to be enemies. We can work together.'" Second:
Some of the developers realized that relying parties—say, any Web site that has to rely on an identity credential from an identity provider—don't have to support different systems. It's the identity provider—the Amazons and Googles and eBays of the world—that will have to play in all those systems, if they want to be in the game. They have the incentive, as well as the ability, to interoperate. If you're Amazon, and want your customers' identities to be useful across a lot of Web sites, you have an incentive to interoperate. Now look at it the other way around. If the relying parties needed this, and not the identity providers, interop would always be "someday".
Instead, I think we're likely to see user-centric "independent" identity in widespread use sometime in the next two years.

Comprehensive, Personalized Candidate Screening Is the Key to Successful Hiring
Date:June 18, 2012 at 12:00 - 1:00 PM ET
Will Barada, President(Barada Associates Inc)
With the cost of new hire training and company integration becoming increasingly expensive, finding the perfect candidate means more than excluding bad choices. Firms that hire individuals who match their corporate ethics, culture and business approach find those candidates have a better chance of "hitting the ground running" and have greater success and longevity in their jobs.
To accomplish these goals, many HR departments are turning to third-party screening firms. However, not all have the depth of expertise and experience this approach requires, especially when it comes to getting past the wall of silence interviewers often find when reference checking.
This presentation will detail tips for selecting a third-party screening firm that can successfully probe beneath the surface for detail-level information and can then analyze that data effectively and objectively.
Speaker Will Barada's discussion will include:
1. Evaluating the questionnaires used by the firm, including detailing the boilerplate or checkbox approaches versus customizable; importance of not compromising objectivity or integrity.
(Session takeaway: Customized questionnaires are much more effective but also more difficult to produce safely.)
2. Determining the company's level of expertise and success rate with reference interviews, including:
a. Obtaining interviews with less-obvious references that can provide meaningful information on the candidates.
b. Using specially trained professionals (and not employees at the hiring firm) that put references at ease and encourage them to provide detailed, relevant information.
(Session takeaway: References are more likely to talk to a third-party firm, but it takes a skilled interviewer to get them to really open up.)
3. Examining how extracted data will be analyzed and provided in reports and determining whether it provides sufficient information for the company's needs.
a. Will all data (customized questionnaires and detailed interviews) be cross-analyzed?
b. Will reports draw a complete picture of the total person—including ethics, level of motivation, personal and professional goals?
(Session takeaway: Complete, objective reports don't just exclude bad choices. They will ensure you identify the right ones.)
Who Should Participate
HR Professionals who are involved in the staffing process will benefit from this presentation.
What You Will Learn
In his presenation you will learn about: 1. Evaluating questionnaires used by the firm. 2. Determining how successfully reference interviews are conducted, including whether the screening firm seeks out additional references more willing to open up. 3. Exploring whether they use specially trained professionals that put references at ease and encourage them to provide detailed, relevant information. 4. Examining how extracted data will be analyzed and provided in reports and determining whether it provides sufficient information for the company's needs.
Recommended Resources
Barada's core presentation is based on 25 years of experience and this pitch was written based on the company's internal knowledge base. However, scholarly citations can be incorporated into the final draft as supporting evidence.

'Hunger Force' Got Game
March 26, 2007 12:00 AM
Apparently nothing can stop the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." Two months after a marketing stunt foul-up for the Adult Swim show cost Cartoon Network's general manager his job and parent Turner Broadcasting $2 million, Midway Games said it is developing an interactive game based on the fast-food trio of heroes.
"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am" is set at a golf club and mayhem no doubt ensues. No word on whether copies of the game are being quietly placed in locations around Boston.
Meanwhile, Cartoon Network has signed Buena Vista as the first advertiser in one of its online games. Users playing "Foster's Big Fat Awesome House Party" beginning today might notice posters on the house's walls for the films "Meet the Robinsons," "Ratatouille" and "Underdog."

Fucus Vesiculosis
OCIA Certified and a Raw Food
Although not a traditional culinary sea veggie, we offer bladderwrack for use as tea, broth, seafood flavoring, tinctures, and extracts. We'd love to know how you are using these whole plants. Our bladderwrack is certified organic by OCIA and we voluntarily test for heavy metal, chemical, and microbiological contaminants.
Nutritionally, bladderwrack is high in ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), protein, vitamin A, iodine, bromine and phosphorus. It is also very high in magnesium. Herbalists and supplement makers use bladderwrack as weight loss aids and thyroid stimulation. Bladderwrack is also a source of fucoidan, a polysaccharide known to scavenge heavy metals and radioisotopes throughout the body.

Old Center / Red Light District
Local Expert Tip
"Don't take pictures of women in the windows and be sure to watch out for pickpockets"
Things to Do In Amsterdam
Amsterdam Travel Guide
Get Your Bearings in Amsterdam
Where to Stay
The city center is a great home base for sightseeing. Walk, bike, tram or bus – you'll discover you have easy access to the city's best attractions. Want to stay near a lively nightlife scene? Book a hotel close to Leidseplein or Rembrandtplein. If you're searching for R&R, Museum Quarter and De Pijp neighborhoods provide accommodation in a more residential area. Amsterdam offers an extensive range of hotels with charm and character to meet any preference or budget. From hostels and boutique hotels to five-star properties and environmentally-conscious lodging, Amsterdam has the "home away from home" for everyone.
Take It or Leave It: Outline your budget and preferences first, then search for hotels based on location. You'll want to make sure you're within walking distance of the main attractions or at least near a tram stop.
What to Eat
The city is home to approximately 180 nationalities, and the restaurant selection undoubtedly echoes this diversity. Dutch, Turkish, Japanese, Spanish, French, Italian or something else – you'll find it in Amsterdam. De Pijp's restaurants offer a wide range of cuisine from every corner of the world, while De Jordaan has cozy, comfortable establishments. If you want a more upscale experience, numerous neighborhoods provide plenty of options for a special occasion, including Michelin star restaurants. No matter where you end up, you can't go wrong. Amsterdam is truly a foodie's paradise.
Take It or Leave It: Friday and Saturday evenings often fill up fast. Make a reservation, if you can.
Be Sure to Sample: Kroketten (croquettes) and pannenkoeken (pancakes), two Dutch favorites. Indonesian is also a popular cuisine you won't want to miss.
Things to See
Between the city's rich history and fascinating culture, Amsterdam offers something for every interest. Explore the scenic maze of canals by water, foot or bike and discover the city's best attractions. Admire world-renowned art or take a step back into time at one of the museums. Visit a few of Amsterdam's historic sites. Relax in one of the green parks or wander through the Red Light District. The city definitely provides plenty of things to do, rain or shine.
Caution: Museums such as The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House often have long lines. Go early to avoid the queue.
Take It or Leave It: Check the weather before you visit. It rains quite a bit in the Netherlands, so you may want to have an umbrella handy.
Places to Party
When you're in Amsterdam, get ready for a fun night out. Whether you want to dance the night away, share a drink with friends, listen to music or enjoy a warm, summer evening, Amsterdam's nightlife has something for everyone. If you're looking for live music, DJs and dance clubs, Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein are the places to be. Searching for something low-key? De Pijp and De Jordaan have numerous cozy cafes and pubs, a perfect atmosphere for catching up with friends. When weather permits, relax on a terrace or catch an outdoor performance at the Vondelpark Open-Air Theatre.
Caution: The trams stop around 00:30, but there are always night buses going every half hour to various parts of the city.
Where to Shop
Whether you're searching for something special or just love to shop, Amsterdam is definitely a great city for shopping. Browse boutique stores in the Negenstraatjes area and sip on a cup of coffee at one of the charming cafes. Stroll down the most expensive shopping street in the Netherlands, the PC Hooftstraat. You'll find top brands such as Huge Boss, Calvin Klein and Chanel. Don't forget to visit an open-air market. The Albert Cuypmarkt, for instance, is a great place to find bargains and taste international treats. Other shopping locations include the Kalverstraat, De Bijenkorf, Magna Plaza and Kalvertoren.
Best Local Souvenir: Bring home one of the delicious Dutch cheeses, such as Gouda or Edam, and a package of stroopwafels.

Amsterdam Is Known for...
Five of Amsterdam's most unique features and characteristics.Bikes
For every citizen within Amsterdam, there exists a bike and a half. That amounts to about one million bikes, more than four times the amount of cars in the city center. Amsterdam is the world's leading city concerning urban biking. Around 400 kilometers of integrated biking paths exist, making the bike the best method of transportation in Amsterdam. The biking culture is wonderfully casual as well. No lycra-laden, hurried commuters, rather a lot of well-dressed biking aficionados that are fully committed to self-propulsion-even in the most extreme of weather.Canals
Affectionately known as "the Venice of the North," Amsterdam's arteries consist of 165 canals. The main canals-Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht-form the iconic horseshoe infrastructure of the city. The canals were constructed during the 17th century when the Dutch were the global leaders in trade, art, science and military. These canals create a subculture of sorts, welcoming a cast of boats, bridges, canal houses and wildlife amidst their reflective surface-particularly when the weather is gorgeous. A view from a boat on a sunny day is truly the most elegant way to see Amsterdam.Coffeeshops
Amsterdam is infamous for its...

Apple has been accused of intentionally installing security backdoors in some 600 million iOS devices that offer surveillance-level access to data including photos, browsing history and GPS locations.
The vulnerabilities were uncovered by security expert Jonathan Zdziarski, who presented an academic paper on the subject at a hacker conference in New York last Friday.
Apple has issued a statement in response to the allegations saying that the company's "diagnostic functions do not compromise user privacy and security," but Zdziarski has responded by noting that these services "dish out data" regardless of whether the user has agreed to diagnostics. ...

Hardening systems with AppArmor
After penetrating a remote system, intruders might think they are home and dry, but AppArmor spoils the fun, locking the miscreants in a virtual cage.
Nobody's perfect – and this is particularly true of software. Any non-trivial application will have its fair share of programming errors. Intruders exploit these errors, taking control of the software, and making the program do things the developer never envisaged. The situation starts to become critical if the application has privileges that are different from the privileges of the attacker. For example, the ping command requires root privileges in order to send the special packet formats that it needs. But it is theoretically possible for the process to misuse its root privileges to cause all kinds of trouble. Although ping is a well-behaved program, an attacker capable of hijacking the tool would have unrestricted access to the rest of the system.

I am 9-months pregnant and have no sex drive. Is there anyone else out there who has had this problem?
Is anyone else having crazy vivid pregnancy dreams? I had my first dream about being pregnant last night and it was the worst nightmare I have ever had and it felt so real. I've pretty much had every pregnancy nightmare imaginable. Preterm delivery, Down syndrome, my baby dying, my doctors are mean and won't let me hold the baby, etc. I still can't shake the awful feeling.
How many hours of sleep does baby typically get in a day (a 24-hour period of time)?

So back to business, the week going into the Mr Olympia this year was the end of what has to be the best pre-contest prep I have ever gone through with my coach and great friend, Neil ''Yoda'' Hill.
Having started packing for the month (seriously no joke) on the Sunday I got up and after some back and forth chat on the whats-app with boss man Neil Hill the game plan was sent. The plan was to get the first carb meal in and then hit the gym, where I would kill my last shoulder session. To my surprise i was shockingly strong pushing more weight with form or rep for rep if not more than some my training partners.
Depletion is one the hardest times to push through but my mind set was very strong and physically i was also again i really put this down to my prep going in being the best as i mention prior my set was on point, Considering I have been eating more carbs and fats and more food than any other show of old todays carbs dropped keeping fats the same and proteins, we dropped my carbs down to 120gm, having done my am cardio followed by training it was only a day of running around and a night cardio and a killer posing session left before it was ground hog day.
Monday day 2 of my depletion phase was a hectic day Not only did I have to pack for my trip to Vegas, I had to pack a month's worth of personal belongings (clothes) as I was going to straight to the UK from Vegas. As if that wasn't enough I also had to pack 2 suit cases full of official ''Flex Lewis'' Merchandise (DVDs and new shorts) for my store at the Sportex Festival and British GP in Manchester at the Trafford Centre. I weighted myself and the day was set followed a 20 brisk walk followed by the diet plan of prior a few whatsapps and calls later like autopilot i was told the game plan and with my day being planned out around my flight to Florida to meet up with my girlfriend, Ali. I choose to fly to floida so we can fly together having such a great support network it only made sense fly out to Vegas together and get settled in, and as they say 4 hand are better than two!
Tuesday was a great day, I was able to chill with Ali and get into the third day of my depletion phase – it was a God send having a day where I didn't have so much on even though stress was still there again as mentioned before to have that extra hands to help was amazing the usual jobs which all added up on time and energy seemly were done together thus resulting in more time so overly think if we really hadnt packed everything but the kitchen sink.
Up and early-
Our driver arrived at 5am and having taken one look at our bags decided a mini bus was needed, we headed to the airport and surpring i was pretty energerised those who know me, know im no morining person maybe its new leaf?
Myself and Neil spoke prior to his departure and he wanted to keep me on another morning of low carbs until we met in our suite in Vegas, after landing we headed to the car rental. We headed right to hotel where Neil messaged me to say he just checked in, plan was to get in to our accommodation set up base camp and relax, can't say this plan was flawless but seriously it was close.....Neil came to look at me later that day and he was more than pleased with what he saw, with that he enthusiastically shouted the words ''Fuck me mate your bang on, You are ready to carb up, Flex.''

Register Columnist
Dr. Grise and I recently had an opportunity to go to the new Berea Artisan's Center right off of Exit 77 of Interstate 75 as part of a process to promote our new book of articles from Madison's Heritage columns.
My recent return to Berea led me to revisit this column from several years ago on landmarks of Berea after visiting this new landmark.
Boone Tavern in Berea reopened several years ago after extensive remodeling. This famous landmark is named for Daniel Boone and is located in downtown Berea, along Boone's historic wilderness trail from Cumberland Gap to Fort Boonesborough.
Owned and operated by Berea College, the hotel opened in 1909 and was originally constructed to provide housing for college visitors.
New York architects Cady and See designed the original Colonial Revival style building. Its two entrances are covered by a two-story portico with Ionic columns. Much of the furniture and drapery was made by students at the college.
There is a dining room, which provides excellent food for individuals or groups. One of the chefs, Richard Hougen, authored a well-known cookbook, "Look No Further."
Although called a tavern, no liquor is served, since the city of Berea is dry. However, voters recently passed referendum that allows hotel/restaurants in historic buildings to sell drinks. But, the college's trustees would have to approve the sale of alcohol at the tavern.
Berea College used to produce and sell to the public eggs, milk and bread. The school also once owned the Berea Citizen, the town's weekly newspaper.
Boone Tavern is a major draw of tourists traveling north and south on I-75.
My information on Churchill Weavers comes from Lavinia Kubiak's book "Madison County Rediscovered." The company was established by Carroll and Eleanor Churchill in 1921. Mr. Churchill was an engineer and former missionary to India, and later chair of the physics department at Berea College.
He invented a new fly-shuttle loom, which became the basis of his hand-weaving industry. His wife designed and marketed the products, selling them across America. Special local sales were widely attended, and tours of the large building, with numerous skilled ladies operating the looms, were available.
After Mr. Churchill died, the factory was sold several times and now sits empty. The city of Berea recently turned down an offer to take over the property. Woven products made in Ohio are still marketed under the name Churchill Weavers . . . but the original blankets and throws were crafted here in Madison County. If you have one squirreled away in a cedar chest, get it out now that the weather is turning colder and snuggle up and display it proudly!
PUBLICATION NOTE: Readers are reminded that a compilation of some 60 Richmond Register articles from over the last 40 years written by Dr. Grise and myself are now available in the paperback book "Madison's Heritage Rediscovered."
Combined with relevant photographs selected from Eastern's Archives by my granddaughter, Kathryn Engle, who edited the volume, this book is available for $19.99 plus tax. Autographed copies may be found at the Richmond tourism office (Irvinton) on Lancaster Avenue, Clearsight Optometry and Baldwin CPAs on Main Street in Richmond.
Autographed copies are also available by calling Kathryn Engle at 893-0947 or 623-1150. These books make excellent birthday or Christmas gifts for family or friends.

King's legacy alive in Boone
When the Ku Klux Klan marched through downtown Boone and
Blowing Rock in 1992, Watauga County flared in disgust and began organizing a protest.
But instead of answering hate with anger, members of Bahá'í, Muslim, Christian and other faith and non-practicing communities initiated a healing counteraction – the Unity Festival.
Now, 21 years later, the festival has grown into multiple events, including the popular Unity Festival in spring and another that coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day – "I Have a Dream Week."
This year's week of dances, devotionals, speeches, music and crafts runs from Jan. 20 to 27.
Akal Dev Sharonne, a flutist who will be performing during the week, was one of the participators in the 1992 response. During a past celebration, following a ceremonial dancer ebbing circles in the hall of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Sharonne recited Rumi's poem "Joy at Sudden Disappointment."
"Whatever comes, comes from a need,/a sore distress, a hurting want," the poem begins. "And every need brings in what's needed./Pain bears its cure like a child...Someone once asked a great sheikh/what Sufism was./ 'The feeling of joy/when sudden disappointment comes.'"
"I mentioned the fact that had the KKK not gotten the permit to march, we wouldn't be here right now; had not these people had the courage to answer hatred with love," Sharonne said. "That is what continues to be the theme for 'I Have a Dream Week.'"
"I Have a Dream Week" is a reverenced celebration of King, the prophetical activist commemorated this year on Monday, Jan. 21. His rousing "I Have a Dream" speech's pleas were not limited to civil rights, but aired to all people and struggles.
"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair," he said. "I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream."
At the close of the week's events, his speech will be read aloud, "every word of it" married to the ambitions of the week, Sharonne said.
"'What the heart knows today, the head will understand tomorrow,'" organizer Mary Gray said, quoting James Stephens. "This is a very rich list of events. Appreciation of the arts will always lead to more appreciation of diversity. You empower people by reaching their hearts."
The 1992 Unity Festival was held at Western Watauga Library in Sugar Grove and attended by 300 people. Local churches enlivened prayer and support groups were formed for strength again KKK-cultivated fear.
After three festivals, attended by more than 1,000 people, the Unity Festival inspired the I Have a Dream Task Force in 1998, an umbrella group that notified organizations and organized and publicized events for the week. Supported by the Watauga County Arts Council, the task force sculpted the week of events. The programs grew every year and were intensified by local churches and organizations following 9/11.
In 2006, Appalachian State University's Diversity Festival joined the Unity Festival and inspired mentorships and volunteer work. The task force helped inspire People of the Planet Soccer Tournaments and the local Compassionate Communication group.
Since 2008, the task force no longer receives sponsorship or proclamations from local government. However, after "12 years of a great deal of energy put into it," the community independently hosts the events, Gray said.
"It's not official, but it happened to take root and now happens every January," she said.
Since the disbanding of the task force, there have been no school programs organized. However, if any schools would like to organizer programs and events for next year's week of events, those interested should call Teri Wiggans at (828) 264-4443.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated nationwide by closed schools and businesses. Jubilant week-long celebrations are held from the heights of New York University and the DC Public Library to North Carolina at UNC Chapel Hill and UNC Asheville.
This week is designed to incite a "new" New Year of unity and peace, an awareness that longs to continue by "every breath we breathe," Sharonne said.
For more information, call Sharonne at (828) 264-1384.

Seminarians Help Feed the Hungry in Canby
by Michael Khong
In September, St. Patrick Catholic Church in Canby welcomed five new seminarians as volunteer workers for the food bank. They are Peter Lawongkerd, Emmanuelle del Castillo, Jamie Cuevas, Fernando Capetillo, and Brother Marius Kim.
At the beginning of the new academic year, each seminarian is assigned by Ms. Linda Showman, the associate director of pastoral formation, to different ministries that are part of pastoral formation. Pastoral formation, one of the four pillars of the Program of Priestly Formation, is designed to allow seminarians to work with lay people.
Every Wednesday, these seminarians gather in the parking lot and leave Mount Angel Seminary at 4 p.m. for pastoral ministry. After they arrive at the food bank at 4:45 p.m., they report to Mary Ann Schram, their supervisor, and begin to help people who are in need.
Their duties include welcoming the clients and helping them select the food that they want. According to Bill Piller, the head of the food bank, the food bank at St. Patrick has been serving the poor for more than thirty years. It is also a place for seminarians to have the opportunity to work with the laity and to have an experience working with people who are in need.
Working at the food bank is a new experience for all five seminarians. Peter Lawongkerd, a seminarian from the Diocese of Oakland, said that when he received his pastoral formation assignment, he had no clue what the food bank was all about. He said, "I was nervous and had no idea about this assignment."
After a couple of weeks, we began to fall in love with this ministry and recognized that it has been a blessing for him. He also said, "I can help people who don't have a place to stay and food to eat. Whey they come here every Wednesday to get groceries, I can see their happy faces." Most importantly, he learned that he is blessed, and he is grateful for everything God has given to him.
Unlike Peter, Jamie Cuevas, a seminarian from the Diocese of Orange, felt comfortable working with other staff and clients since his first day at the food bank. He said, "Working at St. Patrick's Food Bank as a volunteer - it's a blessing for me because it enriches my knowledge and strengthens my faith as I continue to discern my calling." He also mentioned that his ministry helps him learn how to work with the laity and how to serve God's people, especially the poor.
St. Patrick's Food Bank is open only on Wednesdays. Numerous people wait to receive food, but it seems that there aren't any conversations between clients and the volunteer staff because the workers are extremely busy assisting the customers. Jamie said, "I wish that I have more time to talk to people about God, faith, and life experiences." However, he is very happy with the work at the food bank because it helps him recognize Christ in other people.
Mr. Piller also said, "St. Patrick's Food Bank has a total of 68 active volunteer staff and no paid staff." The volunteer staff is not just from St. Patrick Catholic Church but from different churches in town. St. Patrick's Food Bank serves 200 to 300 families per week and allows people to come every week instead of once every month to select their food.

I have a suggestion for AKOO clothing line. I have a 11 year old son who is in the 6th grade. He once told me when he was 5 that he looked up to T.I because he was a self made millionaire. I respected that coming from a 5 year old but today despite the given circumstances, T.I is still his role model. As I review the Akoo fall collection, I see you do not have a kids line. My son's school has a dress code that states they must only wear polo-type shirts, any kind. He would love to rock T.I's brand during his middle school years. Thats all he talks about getting big so he can wear AKOO. Just a thought, maybe you should start a young boys line. I know my son will break me behind trying to make sure he gets it all.

Yes I am uploading content and enjoy seeing what trapkmuzik.com has to offer....I think this is a great site...however I think that you could possibly expand your merchandise area...I only say this because I have been looking for over a week trying to find a T.I. poster...of any kind....to purchase and have been very UNsuccessful. Other than that ...I luv this shit!
Please tell TI that he'd better not quit his day job, as he is one of the worst actors I've ever seen.
Congratulations on "The Takers" I am not surprised and glad for you all and especially for you and Chris Brown. That is why all of you have a lot of influences and I would appreciate if you use that to see that your followers realize that we are working with President Obama to make it better for all and they can do the same by going out and registering to vote. Do not just register, but going out to vote. You are accomplished and many that support you are not. They need to provide for themselve and their family. This is something that need to be address and all of you guys being a part of, no one gain this success without climbing on some strong shoulders that also kicked the doors open for you all to have and to be where you are. There is still work to do and we need all of your help, the President needs your help, so please help it is crucial! See you at BayFest in Mobile.
I have been a loyal fan for years... My children are fans of yours but unfortunately we are from "The Armpit of America" as you so eloquently stated on national tv and I must say it was a very hurtful thing. We may be a small country town, and we may not have the best but you have a lot of fans there. A lot of young black men who idolize you even though you think they shouldn't. You are a smart man, and you know that words have meaning and carry power, I don't understand why then would you say something damaging against a town that you really don't know. We have enough negativity there as it is. There are not jobs, the schools are under furnished and it's not asthetically appealing but it is ours. We have pride, we have people who have risen out of the ashes to be sucessful so please don't think we take it lightly that you have ridiculed us on national television in front of a caucasian audience.... We are owed an apology that is if you are as humble as you potray yourself to be in your documentaries..... Oh and don't be surprised if there is backlash and uproar behind this because we are not all stupid as you make us out to be. And as much as I want to see your movie I can't knowing how you feel about the very place that made me who I am.
T.I. congratulations on your new movie "TAKERS" - - - now how about calling Camerson Crowe to discuss casting you in his movie about the life story of Marvin Gaye?
Well..... I guess....Ur listenin' to U......congratulate U, hype U, Sych up U...... and generally..... feel...... ALL THAT........ ain't .....THAT...hard to get used to......yeah!
Hey, the shop and clothes looks nice and all, but where's the female line??! T.I. I know you're a busy guy and all, but c'monnn now. I know Tiny must have some imput on the women's line of clothing, she's a female with style! Gotta get it together so the ladies can sport the Akoo look too. Hopefully you're already on that path, can't wait to see some more new looks. Peace.
You guys are good so far. I have to say this LOVE THE NEW LOOK!! Gosh I was losing hope when I logged on to the old website. Just created a new account today...been tied up but sweet!! The look is very professional. I'd like some good forums and discussions. I will committ to resond if you guys post some. I believe these discussions will introduce a new part of T.I. It seems like the only attracted parties aren't the exact crowd you guys were looking for and that kind of limits the network. Lets talk real talk. If not love what you guys did here. Sweet, congrats with the film...
the tracks from the 'Music' section stop playing as soon as you click on another tab to look at something else. I'd like to read up on the 'News' section of TrapMuzik while still listenin' to T.I.'s songs. Other than that, website is on point.
i hav tu sai i didnt like rap befo but thu first time i heard u rap i sed tu mi self "i shud strt listenin tu rap" so i did and i love it. so thx bro
