TORONTO, ON (JANUARY 27, 2011) On February 19th, titles, bragging rights, and careers will be on the line at Mississaugas Hershey Centre, in a card being called one of the most important in recent Canadian boxing history.
And in an evening packed with significant fights, including the first title defense of NABA lightweight champion Logan Cotton McGuinness, the North American return of former World Boxing Council (WBC) junior welterweight world champion Junior Witter, two unheralded warriors are primed to steal the show
In a 10 round battle, undefeated welterweight prospect Sammy El Producto Vargas (7-0, 1 KO) looks to add his first professional title to his resume when he faces Canadian welterweight champion Tebor Brosch (6-3-4, 2 KOs) for the NABA Canadian welterweight crown, in a fight that has Southern Ontario fight fans salivating.
With no amateur career to speak of, and only 6 pro fights on his resume, Vargas showed the world what hes capable of when he ventured to Moncton New Brunswick last October and toppled the accomplished Jhonny Navarette (16-4-1, 8 KOs) via unanimous decision.
And while that victory surprised many, Vargas trainer, the world-renowned Chris Johnson, saw it coming.
Sammy shows me so much in the gym everyday, that nothing he accomplishes will ever surprise me, Johnson said.
He just showed Navarette, and the world, what I already know; that with hard work, and attention to detail, he can be a great fighter.
But as bright as Vargas future is shaping up to be, hell be facing a fighter in Brosch desperate to keep a once bleak looking pro career on the upswing.
After just one win in his first seven pro fights, Brosch has done a complete one-eighty, going undefeated in his last seven, including a decision over Justin Fountain last July to claim the Canadian Welterweight title, and the confidence to succeed where he previously came up short.
I now know what it takes to win in this sport. I know the price I have to pay, and, finally, how to pay it, Brosch said.
This is going to be a great fight. Sammy is a good fighter, with a very good trainer, and naturally theyre very confident. But you can say the same about me and my trainer Jerome Coffee.
Sammy is skilled, but far less experienced. I feel like Im stronger, and that I have an answer for what he brings to the table.
For promoter Adam Harris, of Hennessy Sports Canada, Vargas vs. Brosch is easily the most important fight of each mans respective careers, and one that Vargas cannot take lightly.
Sometimes, when you look to get a Canadian-based title, the pickings can be pretty easy, said Harris said.
But if Sammy wants to leave with that NABA Canadian belt, hes going to have to pay the price against Tebor.
Brosch has overcome a very slow start to his career to become the Canadian welterweight champion. He earned that belt the hard way, and hell make sure if Sammy beats him on February 19th, itll be with everything hes got.
Tickets for the February 19th show at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, presented by United Promotions in association with Hennessy Sports, are available now starting at $25 at the Hershey Centre box office, or through Ticketmaster by calling (416) 872-5000 or logging onto www.ticketmaster.ca.

HB ON THE SCENE: HELP Conference Gains Traction
Tuesday April 9th, 2013 - 8:57AM V

These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
BOSTON—The second annual HELP conference got underway yesterday with some 375 attendees as executives from several leading research firms used terms such as "terrific," "very good," "ebullient," and "tailwinds" to describe current conditions.
Citing good fundamentals, R. Mark Woodworth, president, PKF Hospitality Research, LLC, noted in the session "Trends: Mega and Micro," that nationally, room nights on the books for the coming 12 months are up 2% over last year. He added of the industry's long-term outlook, "The next point where you will be saying I want to be out of the hotel business is 2017."
Scott Berman, president, PWC, was equally bullish, particularly as it relates to the upscale, upper upscale and luxury sectors, which he noted are all expected to have RevPAR growth of better than 6% in the coming year. "At the high end of the market things are looking strong," he said.
Berman did add one note of caution with regards to the U.S. government sequestration. "The U.S. economy is improving but the sequestration is a distraction," he said, noting it needs to closely watched.
David Loeb, managing director and senior research analyst, R.W. Baird & Co., Inc., meanwhile, talked about the REIT sector and what has driven transactions. "The focus of the activity has been on the select service segment. Select-service properties have outperformed their full-service peers over the last six months," he said.
Tags: • Hospitality • Trade Shows •
For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

Despite its many successes, Israel has been hindered by a deep-seated belief that the state is responsible for managing the economy. Among intellectuals, academics, and policymakers, the idea that a nation's economic progress results from a culture imbued with the spirit of capitalism, and not from government intervention, is almost heretical. Amnon Lord writes:
[I]n a lecture in Jerusalem, [American] presidential candidate Mitt Romney said [in 2012] that he attributes Israeli economic success to a "strong culture." "I come here to this city and I see the accomplishments of people of this nation," he said. "I see the power of culture and other things." Romney compared the Israeli economy to the Palestinian one in terms of GNP: "You see such dramatic and prominent differences in economic vitality." Later he said in a more philosophical tone: "if you can learn something from the history of the economy in the world, this is the lesson: culture is what makes the difference."
The pseudo-intellectual outrage that erupted in the wake of Romney's statements is a test case in how a profound truth turns into a distortion at the hands of those who support leaving power in the hands of the state and fraudulent "social justice." As if a statement on how culture can help the economy promotes the idea of "cultural superiority"—with racial superiority not far off, of course. This is one of the methods used by supporters of socialism nowadays to suppress any serious discussion of the profound questions of economic reform.

The recent decision by Iran and the U.S. to extend the deadline for an agreement on nuclear weapons is based on a fundamental fallacy that the current American government believes wholeheartedly: that this is a problem that can be solved through further negotiations. In truth, no agreement can be reached because Iran is unwilling to give up its nuclear-weapons program. The same fallacy lies behind the blundering attempts to force an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Elliott Abrams writes:
[T]he beginning of wisdom in both these cases, Iranian and Israeli-Palestinian, is the realization that the fundamental differences cannot be papered over. The Obama administration has tried and tried, and it has failed—not due to a failure of its diplomats to master their briefs, but because the administration did not understand the nature of the problem. Once you recognize that the Ayatollah Khamenei insists on a nuclear-weapons program, and that President Abbas will not and cannot agree to give up the "right of return" and make compromises on Jerusalem, you recognize that more sessions with more diplomats won't reach a different result. It's a category error, where a thing belonging to a particular category is presented as belonging to a different category. Here, disputes that are fundamental (because interests are adverse) are presented by the Obama administration as being mere misunderstandings—problems that American good faith and State Department elbow grease can resolve.

The Spanish and British parliaments have voted to recognize a fictive Palestinian state; the Swedish government has also recognized such a state; and France is poised to be next. In the short run, these declarations are meaningless and purely symbolic. But, argues Guy Millière, they may soon add up to something:
The next step in anti-Israeli offensives will take place very soon. Mahmoud Abbas and the "Palestinian" leaders will go to the United Nations, and seek recognition of a "Palestinian State" by the UN Security Council. If they succeed, "Palestine" could become a full member-state of the UN without having to make any concessions to anyone at all—and free to continue inciting terror, committing terror, and glorifying those who practice terror. Abbas and Palestinian leaders might then demand that the Security Council set a deadline for Israel's withdrawal to the "pre-1967 lines."
France and the United Kingdom and will abstain, which will mean that they agree. The only thing that can prevent all this is a U.S. veto. However, relations between the United States and Israel have so deeply deteriorated since the beginning of the Obama presidency that many Israeli diplomats think a U.S. veto uncertain.

Jonathan Sacks, chief rabbi emeritus of the United Kingdom, argues that the biblical idea of marriage (and love) is a contribution as important as monotheism itself. Addressing an interfaith conference at the Vatican, Sacks narrates the evolution of the family as seen through biology, anthropology, and the Bible, and concludes with a surprising exegesis of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. (Video, 31 minutes.)

In 1940, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun in New York, like many synagogues, held a special service for Thanksgiving. It included traditional Hebrew prayers, the singing of the national anthem, and a speech by the lieutenant governor of the state. The congregation's rabbi, Joseph Lookstein also composed a special prayer (in English) for the occasion:
We pray sincerely for America and the ideals of democracy and freedom that are here enshrined. May she be strong to withstand all the currents that assail her and all the forces of evil that would invade her sacred precincts. A tower of light to her own citizenry, may she cast a steady beam and light up all the dark areas of the world and show to a perplexed and straying humanity the path of freedom, of life, and of peace.

It's "back to the future" in van trailers for one carrier, explains Tom Berg in his "Trailer Talk" blog. The freight is big, bulky and light, with gross combination weights typically at 45,000 pounds, so the ZCube trailers are pulled by single-rear-axle tractors.

For patients with obstructive sleep apnea, a malady affecting many truck drivers, the standard treatment has long been the C-PAP device, a continuous positive airway pressure. But many find it cumbersome, and some companies market oral appliances to treat the condition. Will they meet new federal guidelines for treating apnea?

Fans of old engines and machinery would have been thrilled to find this working, 95-year-old engine on display at the the 40th anniversary celebrations of Cummins Jamestown, N.Y.. assembly plant. It's believed to have been among the first engines ever produced by the Cummins Engine Co., hand-built by Clessie Cummins himself. Jim Park has more in his "On the Road" blog.

DEFINITION of 'Long-Term Capital Gain Or Loss'
A gain or loss from a qualifying investment owned for longer than 12 months and then sold. The amount of an asset sale that counts toward a capital gain or loss is the difference between the sale value and the purchase value. Long-term capital gains are assigned a lower tax rate than short-term capital gains in the United States.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Long-Term Capital Gain Or Loss'
Capital gains and losses can be netted out in any given tax year and up to the first $3,000 of any net gain or loss can be carried over into future years.
For example, let's say that an investor sells three stocks during the calendar year, all of which were held for several years. The first stock is sold for a loss of $3,000, the second is sold for a $2,500 gain and the third is sold for a $4,000 gain. If the investor makes no other sales during the year, he will have a net gain of $3,500 for the year (-$3,000 + $2,500 + $4,000 = $3,500). The first $3,000 of long-term gains could be carried over into the next year, but the remaining $500 in gains would be taxed that year at the prevailing rate.

Wilke had a passion and fascination for the written language, drawing most of his inspiration from it to create an abstract view of shape, color, and texture. Wilke found inspiration in the calligraphy of the Japanese Zen masters and in the numerical symbols of ancient people.<br>Studying each writing style to further develop his own from of calligraphy, Wilke saw beauty in all forms of written language, whether it was found in poetry, on plates, or as engravings. He utilized acrylics, ink and watercolor to represent his abstract view of language, space and time. Wilke was a painter who also collected paintings throughout his pursuit of artistry.

Antares apocalypse: Orbital points finger at turbopump FAIL
Some perspective on this
Yes, the engines were "refurbished".
But, consider that:
- They were designed and built in the 1960's, for the failed lunar mission by the Soviet Union (the only flights of which spectacularly exploded)
- They were refurbished and renamed by a Ukrainian company in the 1990's
- Orbital bought some of the limited supply of them, because they had no engines or rockets of their own.
- Orbital outsourced all other aspects of their efforts. They were at best a systems integrator.
When you put these facts together with Orbital's lack of experience in rockets, you have to wonder why NASA awarded them a contract in the first place.

Brit Sci-Fi author Alastair Reynolds says MS Word 'drives me to distraction'
So, someone encounters a small bug in a word processor (Word) having to do with scrolling, reports it to the producer (Microsoft), producer acknowledges it is a bug and promises to fix it soon, and then the person declares the product to be "a tyrant of the imagination" and bemoans its use in the publishing world..
Overreaction, anyone?
Just TWO climate committee MPs contradict IPCC: The two with SCIENCE degrees
Re: No Surprise
Yes, you are indeed missing something.
The "hiatus" in global warming the last decade or so has now been scientifically explained, independently by researchers in Australia and in Canada.
As most of us know by now, the average yearly global temperature is predicted, to about 90+% accuracy, by the level of CO2 in the air. But there are two other factors that moderate this secular trend: Oceanic currents (e.g., El Nino) and major volcanic events. These two last factors have impacts that last anywhere from 2 to 10 or more years, and then die out.
As a result of these factors, every 20 to 50 years, there is a "hiatus" that temporarily halts the upward climb in average global temperatures. The latest one has recently been shown to be completely consistent with this phenomenon.
Of course, it has been seized upon by the oil industry and their cadre of climate change deniers to attempt to discredit science.
Here's a small reference to get you started:

Re: nothing new
No, Microsoft's beef about Linux has always been about its GNU license, not about the software, and not about it being open source. That was the basis of Ballmer's famous comment that software distributed under the GNU license, like Linux, was a "cancer".
Of course, Linux or open software fanbois would have you believe otherwise.

Re: @AC
There are a number of misunderstandings in your comments on Microsoft word's math capabilities. I'll just correct one, and give you a few links for the rest.
You obviously like entering your equations in linear format. In Word, just type Alt+=, and then type in a representation of your math in a linear form. It is somewhat Tex-like, but with the following differences: (1) It is more concise (and thus faster to type); (2) It is easier to learn; and (3) It is a lot more readable.
The linear format is defined in "Unicode Technical note 28". It's author, Murray Sargent III, has a blog on the Math capabilities of Office at http://blogs.msdn.com/murrays/rss.xml.

Rockstar swells Spherix patent portfolio with 100 new licenses
Your assertion in this post that the recent conflict between Rockstar and Google has anything to do with Android is totally, absolutely, 100% false. You think you would have the integrity to check the facts before publishing this post, instead of re-echoing what the echo chamber says.
The patents involved all have to do with search, not Android.

Richard Stallman decides Emacs should go WYSIWYG

He doesn't use a PC anything less than a decade old (because it might compromise his "open software" philosophy), and he doesn't use the Internet at all (he asks his friends to surf on his behalf, and then send him the results via email).
Why should anyone pay any attention whatsoever to his pronouncements?
Windows XP support ends a year from … now!
Windows XP was considered a failure when it was first introduced
This is the only thing wrong with your otherwise good post.
It was only 2-3 years after XP came on line that it really began to take off. That was about the time of SP2.
And, let us not forget, Windows XP SP2 (with its total reworking on the security infrastructure of Windows) was in fact a quite new version of Windows, not at all a service pack. Microsoft merely called it a free service pack so that everyone would upgrade to the new, more secure, version of Windows.
Microsoft legal beagle calls for patent reform cooperation
Quite Sensible: Don't Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater
There are many reasons to criticize the current patent system in advanced economies.
The knee-jerk reaction is to simply get rid of patents, or, to get rid of them in certain specific areas of innovation (most typically, software).
Regardless of whether or not you agree with Microsoft's latest suggestions, I think that the worst thing that could be done is to eliminate patents altogether, or to eliminate them for certain broad types of innovation.
Microsoft needs to keep visible under waves of Blue
It's tick-tock all over again
I suspect the best analogy for what Microsoft is doing is Intel's "Tick-Tock" approach.
They release a new version of Windows (and all other software, like Office) in the Fall. Then, a year later, they significantly update it. It's a free "Feature Pack" (as opposed to a "Service Pack" that just fixes bugs).
Then. the next year, two years after the release, they come out with a new release (which, of course, you have to pay to upgrade to).
Simple, and far more oriented to the consumer market than the enterprise market.

Apple updates maps to remove Australia's ghost-city in the desert
Re: internet mapping
Those are done for copyright reasons.
Makers of maps almost always include fake items like side roads, etc., so that they can check to see if someone is literally copying their intellectual property.

The support for this extension at Rockettheme is terrible. Its slow, rude and they will often blame developer of other extensions rather than fix their own problems.
Cannot recommend this product.
Well worth trying.

Space Shuttle:
Incomplete Data and Funding Approach Increase Cost Risk for Upgrade Program
NSIAD-94-23: Published: May 26, 1994. Publicly Released: Jun 27, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8430
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Space Shuttle program, focusing on NASA: (1) assumptions regarding the length of time the current Shuttle fleet will remain operational; and (2) processes and criteria for selecting needed safety and obsolescence upgrades.
GAO found that: (1) NASA has not made explicit assumptions about the current Shuttle fleet's operational status, but NASA budget projections and the new launch system approach suggest that the fleet cannot be replaced for at least another 12 to 15 years; (2) NASA does not plan to decide on a Shuttle replacement, which will take 7 to 10 years to develop, until at least 1998; (3) NASA has concluded that the best option is to develop a fully reusable single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle fleet and phase out Shuttle use by 2008; (4) the NASA budget cannot simultaneously support development of the Space Station and a new launch system; (5) NASA does not always consider life-cycle cost as a criterion for evaluating potential safety upgrades or alternative approaches when selecting improvements; (6) NASA managers do not have a precise basis for estimating life-cycle costs because of the uncertainty about how long the current fleet will be operational, but NASA could use the 12-to-15-year operational period as a minimum basis for estimating life-cycle costs; and (7) the NASA approach to funding its shuttle upgrade program could increase program risks because of inadequate funding for approved upgrade projects, early design studies of other improvements, and unforseen contingencies.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: NASA agreed to use a 12 to 15 year timeframe in its life cycle cost analyses of space shuttle upgrades.
Recommendation: Since NASA will have to use the Shuttle for at least 12 to 15 years, the Administrator, NASA, should direct Shuttle program managers to use that time frame as a basis for estimating the life-cycle costs of proposed upgrades. However, if circumstances change where the Shuttle would be used for a shorter or longer time frame, it may be necessary to reevaluate life-cycle costs of the upgrade.
Agency Affected: National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: NASA agreed to include alternatives in its life cycle analyses when reasonable alternatives are available.
Recommendation: The Administrator, NASA, should require decision justifications that include life-cycle cost analysis of alternatives before requesting authority to start new Shuttle upgrade projects.
Agency Affected: National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: NASA agreed to assess the risk of having small reserves and evaluate the need to increase funding of early design studies.
Recommendation: The Administrator, NASA, should require an assessment of the risk associated with not providing funds for early design studies and contingency reserves and consider whether in light of these risks the agency should begin two new upgrades in fiscal year 1995.
Agency Affected: National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Yonge/Eglington Dinner Recommendation?
- OCKevin May 20, 2007 08:15 PM
My wife and I will be visiting from California and want to take a relative out to dinner on a Monday night. I noticed from looking at www.opentable.com that quite a few restaurants are closed on Monday, unfortunately. She lives north of Yonge/Eglington, and I don't want to travel too far from her home, since she's working that day. We're looking for a place with a decent wine list and varied menu, but not necessarily as wallet-busting as North 44 or Auberge du Pommier can be. Any assistance would be most appreciated!
re: Yongeman
Agree with Youngman... Zucca is a great neighbourhood spot (and won't bust your wallet). I recommend the fish (the whole fish)... fantastic!!
I agree -- Zucca ia great and another option is Quince, just south of there.
re: Degustation
Or Taboule, for middle-eastern cuisine.
re: Degustation
fyi- quince also does a whole fish...from a wood-fired oven. Both Quince and zucca are great choices-
re: merlot143
Lol, yeah a restaurant owned by Moraccans which serves a 'risotto' with kiwi fruit is very authentic! Give me a break! This place belongs exactly where it is.
re: The Macallan 18
I was wondering when you'd show up. I'd hate for some poor visitor to think La Vecchia is the best we can do here. They may never come back!
Thanks to you all for your recommendations! Zucca looks like it's right on target. I'll also see if she's up for a little Middle Eastern food at Taboule. Any other recommendations would be welcomed.
If you and your guest like Indian, the Chef of India at 30 Eglinton East is excellent. They are famous for their buffet but are open for dinner as well.
Heres the CBC review -
re: BuggySer
Zucca and La Vecchia both have attractive websites. Zucca offers this prix fixe menu certain days of the week which seems too good to be true. Hmmm. Tough choices. Out of the two which would you recommend?
re: OCKevin
Nooooooooooooo not La Vecchia. See my recent experience there.
Even The Macallan 18 likes Zucca and he(?) seems, shall we say, very picky about Italian restaurants.
re: Snarf
The cool thing is, in two days, I can walk to each one of these restaurants on the way to the subway and check 'em out for myself. I don't think I will have trouble with reservations on a Monday night - but I'd better be safe than sorry and give Zucca a call to reserve a table. Googs - I read your La Vecchia review: Yikes!
re: OCKevin
Zuuccccccccccccaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! Don't walk anywhere else. Okay, walk. Check, even. But when you dine, do it at Zucca.
A couple of other things about Zucca:
1) Most (not all) of the pasta is made fresh daily in-house - if ordering, be sure to check with your server that your choice is of the freshly made...
2) My very favourite pasta is the simplest one there - ciriole al pomodoro piccante (first on the Primi part of the menu here: http://www.zuccatrattoria.com/zuccaTr...). I always recommend pasta lovers visiting Zucca for the very first time to try this... someone on this board once also mentioned that you can ask for a "one-and-a-half" sized order if you're hungrier. They indeed do that, and I get it every time and polish the plate.
I think this is the best Italian resto in Toronto.
re: sweetspotlee
Just wanted to say that while I like Zucca (and have been an early advocate for OCKev's dinner outing), do keep in mind that this is a nice, little neighbourhood resto.
We made a special trip to Zucca based on the glowing reviews from this board, and while I don't have a bad word to say about the place, "best Ital in Toronto" is probably a bit too much hype, and I think perhaps even sets up the diner for disappoint.
This is a charming spot with great service and good, sometimes even excellent food. Enjoy, but don't expect a gastronomic revelation.
re: sweetspotlee
Not too sure what you are trying to say here, but... 'fresh' pasta and 'dried' pasta are like comparing apples and oranges. Fresh pasta is most commonly made with fresh whole eggs + yolks and high grade 'doppio zero' flour. Dried pastas are most commonly made with semolina flour and water. They each of their own very specific place in the Italian kitchen and are paired with condiments that suit that type of pasta (and shape) accordingly. Eash of Italy's 20 regions have their own classic recipes for both styles of pasta. So to say that one is better than the other is just plain silly.
re: The Macallan 18
Let me clarify - I was speaking/recommending in the context of eating at Zucca. In their kitchen, the virtues of fresh pasta shine. And especially since OCKevin will be visiting for the first time, I advised that he confirm he's getting the fresh over the dried (the one or two dried pasta choices available are - as I've been told by Zucca staff - usually those which require a lot of labour to prepare fresh and so they opt to just bring it in...)
Of course, this board is all a matter of individual opinions... and I agree with your statements in general re dried/fresh-apples/oranges.
Hope this helps.
also open on monday is mirabelle (www.mirabellewinebar.com) and it's just a couple doors down from zucca and quince.
i've only been once around when they opened but i've heard of a few people dropping in and making it a more regular neighbourhood spot and really enjoying it. they're a gastro wine bar that's sort of bringing back really old classics and doing it well. they dont' have as extensive as a wine list as i would like but a huge number of the selections are by the glass!

Ask the LEA,
When we became an academy we technicaly had NO RIGHT to our predecessor data, we archived the data and gave it to them on CD. That covered that base. Technicaly thought we had a Virtual machine which was switched off with the old MIS lying dormant in case we needed it. Good job realy as the LEA lost the CD!
if you need the data then 1 or 2 is the only real option... But as your already in battle for 2013 option 2 would require reconstruction of new data from the new year..
So option 1 is probbaly more favourable.
You could get a second DIRTY SIMS build with all the previous data but capita will charge you for that too, last experince was that it would cost the same as the running live build.
Building your own front end to the data will cost more than the other options..

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with my ancestry. Where I come from, who my ancestors were, what connections to other countries we have.
What I do know isn't very interesting. My dad's mom was from Dublin, but she was brought up by nuns and we know little of her family. Esther Mary O'Connor; what a perfect Irish name. Her mother's maiden name was Taaffe, and aside from the street she was born on (I have a copy of her birth certificate), we know nothing else about that side of the family. There are rumours that her brothers were involved with the IRA (what fun!), but it's all just speculation. My dad just never thought to ask the questions that come to me, and she died in the '80s, when I was a baby.

Yes - I don't mind blurry pictures once in awhile! Especially ones that show movement and life! It's kind of a blogger pet peeve of mine when bloggers feel the need to apologize for pictures that aren't absolutely PERFECT. Unless I'm reading a *photography blog* I'm not expecting perfect lighting, perfect sharpness, perfect composition - just appreciating the subject of the photos themselves. In fact, I love it when people post those 'imperfect' photos - it reminds us all that not everyone has to be stellar and they really are 'perfect' if they capture the moment and feeling.

When I was first learning photography I was obsessed with not using a flash and getting everything perfect-hence one of the kid's birthdays I had NO good shots because everything happened to fast for me to set my camera right-no candles pictures, etc. I was so mad at myself! Now when it comes to capturing those moments I don't care about blur, flash, composition-it is SO much more important to capture that memory-just like you said! The perfect pictures are nice, but they are NOT real life and won't remind me of it at all. And for me, photography is about memories, not perfection.
Great post Erin. (And glad no ER was involved!)

Session: 2013/2014
Date: Friday, 04 April 2014
Reference: AC 01/13/14
The Assembly Commission has today announced that it has appointed a contractor to carry out major repairs to the roof of the historic Parliament Buildings.
Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly, Mr William Hay, MLA said: "I am pleased to announce the appointment of Tracey Brothers to undertake major repair and refurbishment works to the roof of Parliament Buildings. The building is an important part of our heritage and we are confident that this project will protect and enhance the listed status of the building for many years to come and will significantly improve our carbon footprint."
The contractor, based locally in Enniskillen, has many years' experience of working in high profile public buildings. John Tracey, Director of Tracey Brothers said: "We are delighted to have been awarded the contract for the repair of Parliament Buildings roof and look forward to working in partnership with Hamilton Architects and the Assembly Commission on this magnificent building."
Work is due to begin in mid-April for a period of 12 months.

We still don't know what type of exercise and how much is healthy. We work with guesstimates. Luckily, most of us who practice have some relative idea of safe boundaries and use testing to find out what their clients need. I rarely clear people to just ''do yoga''. I will assign specific things done in specific ways for that specific person at the time...and I am still making my best hypothesis. It's plain ridiculous to compare one system to another and flame each other - it's all relative to the person, the day, the hour, the goal.
If there is anything good that came out of this article, the ''don't run'' articles, etc, is that at least it raises some awareness. You can't just go out there and run, or start yoga and be sure you are doing good, or do excessive yoga...why? because it will make you feel excessively awesome? Because you will attain a level of inner peace only a crazy range of motion back bend will give you? C'mon. I have been doing yoga for years, but I am not kidding myself.
Same thing with running: we live in an area with many runners - I have to close my eyes every time - we probably see 1 every two weeks that should be out there at all. Will more running make you a better runner? Don't think so.
