I take the liberty of reproducing it here:
An exhibit saluting an important part of the Panhandle's history just might be ready to take wing.
It would be an aviation museum dedicated to honoring the Age of Flight and the role it has played in the development of the Texas Panhandle.
It's the brainchild of the Texas Air & Space Museum board, veterans of the English Field Air & Space Museum that used to occupy space adjacent to what would become Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport.
The discussion has begun and it should continue.
Think of what aviation has brought to this region.
Amarillo was home to a Strategic Air Command base until the late 1960s. Its closure and the hard feelings it produced - not to mention the devastating impact it had on our economy - remain topics of water-cooler discussion to this day.
Bell Helicopter had a huge assembly plant nearby before closing after the end of the Vietnam War; Bell has returned in a big way with its V-22 Osprey and helicopter assemby operation next to AMA.
Amarillo is home to two shuttle astronauts, the late Rick Husband and Paul Lockhart; in addition, Wheeler is the birthplace of Alan Bean, the fourth man to walk on the moon as a member of the Apollo 12 lunar-landing mission, and who also flew aboard Skylab on a long-term earth-orbit mission in the 1970s.
Florene Miller Watson of Borger was one of the pioneering female aviators during World War II.
This region has plenty of museum expertise upon which organizers can draw. The American Quarter Horse and the Panhandle-Plains Historical museums both attract thousands of visitors annually. It wouldn't hurt one bit to ask those folks: How do you do it?
An aviation museum - at a highly visible site - is a good fit for Amarillo.
Let us proceed.
Who was Florene Miller Watson?
From the WASP Page dedicated to her:
Florene Miller Watson was born on December 7, 1920, in San Angelo, Texas. She became fascinated with planes at age 8 and by age 19 had finished flight school and completed her first solo flight.
Watson received her instructor's rating and was teaching men to fly in the War Training Program in Odessa and Lubbock, Texas when WWII began. Watson turned 21 on December 7, 1941, the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and soon afterward she and her younger brother volunteered for Army service.
The Army was searching for 50 women with 500 hours of flying time to become aircraft, cargo and troop ferriers. This was double the standard for men who only needed 250 hours to qualify to be Army pilots. Watson was one of only 25 who qualified for the original Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, later known as the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs). These women averaged 1,100 hours flying time. In January, 1943, she was made Commanding Officer over the WASPs stationed at Love Field, Dallas, Texas. Watson also served as a test pilot, and in 1944 tested radar equipment before its general use in the war. By the time the war was over, Watson had flown every kind of aircraft used by the Air Corp.
Considered civilians by the military, though the women held officer status, the women were held to higher qualifying standards than men, and operated under extreme pressure to succeed. Some 1,000 women pilots were trained by the military for service in the Ferrying Division, and 38 women were killed during their service to the war. It took 33 years for the women pilots of World War II to be militarized, and in September 1992, Watson traveled to Washington, D.C. to receive an award recognizing the Women's Airforce Service Pilots. She was the National Chaplain for many years of the WASPs WWII.
After the War, Watson earned her Master's Degree in Business Administration and taught college for 30 years before retiring. Married for over 50 years, Florene and Chris Watson have two daughters and four grandchildren and continue to live in Borger, Texas. Chris Watson was a member of the "Oil Patch Warriors," an American oil drilling crew that drilled for oil for Great Britain in Sherwood Forest during WWII. In one year they drilled 94 producing wells, increasing Great Britian's oil production by more than 3,000 barrels a day.
Florene continues to serve in her church and community. She maintains close ties to aviation with memberships in the Texas Aviation Historical Society, the Ninety-Nines, the Commemorative Air Force (Confederate), the Women's Military Aviators and the Women's Airforce Service Pilots WWII.
She has been featured in a number of magazines and books with photos and write-ups. A number of television interviews, programs on aviation, plus video and audio histories to be used by universities and college archives departments as well as aviation museums. She was also featured in the nationally-broadcasted TV documentary Women of Courage explaining the role of women pilots of WWII---The Women Airforce Service Pilots.
Watson has been honored with Distinguished Flying Corps Membership in the Kritser Aviation and Space Museum, Amarillo, Texas, in 1988. Watson was also inducted into the Ninety-Nines International Forest of Friendship, Atchison, Kansas, (Amelia Earhart's Home) for exceptional contributions to aviation, 1995. She was a speaker at the Experimental Aircraft Association's Museum at the 1995 Oshkosh, Wisconsin, International Air Show. Watson was the first woman to be inducted into the Panhandle Veterans Hall of Fame, August 1996. Watson was also honored in a special way as a "Distinguished Veteran" at the Air Force Military Ball and accompanying activities in Dallas, Texas, March 14-15, 1997.
As Chaplain of the WASP organization, she was on the program with Attorney General Janet Reno to dedicate a bronze statue representing the WASP that was placed in the Honor Court of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, September 19, 1997. Watson was a special guest of General Paul Tibbets who was honored by the Confederate Air Force in Midland, Texas, October 2-5, 1997. General Tibbets was in charge of the atom bomb project of WWII and flew the B-29 Inola Gay to drop the first bomb on Japan, thus ending WWII. Watson attended the 3-day dedication ceremonies for the Women's Military Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., October 16-17, 1997. She was also a guest of General Paul Tibbets and his three Enola Gay crew members at the Iwo Jima Reunion in Wichita Falls, Texas, February 20-25, 1998. Note: The bombardier on the Enola Gay, Major Thomas W. Ferebee, was stationed at Ardmore Army Air Field from June through September 1944 before transferring to Wendover Field, Utah and becoming part of the Enola Gay crew. The "Bock's Car" bombardier, Captain Kermit K. Beahan, was also stationed at Ardmore, 1943-44.
Watson was invited to be a member of the Gathering of Eagles organization of distinguished aviation pioneers in June 2001. This elite program was organized in 1982. The 2001 program, the 20th Gathering of Eagles, was titled "Legends and Leaders of Aerospace" and honored 16 civilian and military aviation leaders. Florene was also recognized for her achievements at the 2002, 2003 and 2005 "gatherings."
Another recognition for Watson was the bestowing of the Medal of Honor from the national society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). This honor is bestowed on worthy recipients known "to have done something outstanding" to show their commitment to God, Home and Country. The medal was presented December 9, 2001 in her hometown, Borger, Texas. The Borger "Josiah Bartlett Chapter" of the DAR sponsored Watson.
In addition, the Air Force Association's, Lifetime Achievement Award, its highest honor, was also presented to Watson. Reagan County, Texas, where she grew up, renamed its airport in her honor and the International Women in Aviation inducted Florene to its prestigious Pioneer Hall of Fame.

The Boxcar Children
21 June 2012
As a child, The Boxcar Children series was a staple in my reading list. I spent a whole summer reading through as many of these books as I could find. I was thrilled that I could read chapter books, and these books instilled in me a permanent love of mystery.
The book we'll be reading is the first in the series, The Boxcar Children. In this story, we are introduced to Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden who have just lost their parents. They are supposed to go live with their grandfather, Mr. James Alden, but they have been told that he is a cruel man. Afraid, they run away and build their own home in a boxcar. Warner tells the story of their lives with no parents and their joy in being together. Her words are simple, but her story is engaging. This is the perfect series for beginning readers.
Read The Boxcar Children, then tell me what you thought of the Alden children living on their own. If you read these books when you were young, tell me about the influence they had on your desire to read.
The review for The Boxcar Children will be posted on Monday, 25 June 2012.

Alphacool HF 38 Niagara Intel Core i7 CPU water block review -
Final Words & Conclusion
The verdict
The HF 38 Niagara Intel Socket 1366 is an impressive cooling-block alright. Now I have to make two remarks here. The first, since we already had an Alphacool CPU block installed in this PC, I didn't want to remove the motherboard from the chassis and just used the old mounting system. So we did not use the new fastening system with the hidden springs behind brass pipes. So please understand that the new fastening system is just looking much better then the old one I used okay?
Secondly, our results were pretty darn good really. Why am I saying this? Well, we reached 4 GHz on the CPU absolutely stable, and once we stressed the four cores so intensely high, the measured temperatures were just above 70 Degrees C. This is impressive, especially since we used a fairly mid-range liquid cooling system (the Cooler Master Aquagate MAX). What I am trying to say here, the best water-block in the world will only be as good as the rest of the components. A better radiator or pump can effect the overall cooling performance easily.
So: your liquid cooling performance is dependant on the rest of your liquid cooling setup.
That being said, we can only acknowledge that Alphacool has made a really nice looking CPU block here. High performance, great mounting system and an aesthetically pleasing cooler is what it is all about.
The one deficit that AlphaCool might stumble into is the gold/brass color schema ... not everybody will like that. I for example like my coupling units either transparent (for UV) or totally black. Others would absolutely love it of course. That's just a matter of taste. But choosing a golden/brass color schema. .. well is quite balsy.
Other than that, really the 59 EUR you need to chip in is worth every penny as this is a great CPU block... Actually it is probably one of the best cooling blocks we have ever had our hands on.
Again, a 4000 MHz Core i7 965 was running perfectly with a merely mid-range radiator, pump and reservoir. As such, the HF 38 Niagara Intel Socket 1366 liquid cooling block is just what it is really... and that is downright good.

There aren't that many companies out there that offer liquid cooling products which you can purchase separately. There's a handful of them. One of them is the German based Alphacool. Recently they introduced a new CPU block called the Alphacool HF 38 Niagara. This new water-block is designed for Socket 1366 processor, aka Nehalem aka Core i7. A high-end liquid cooling CPU block priced fairly. Let's check it out.
Alphacool NexXxoS XP Core i7 water block review
In this article we test the Alphacool NexXxoS XP HIGHFLOW Core i7 CPU water block. We will apply a nearly passive water-cooling kit to it and observe installation and temperatures. Since we could take a Core i7 965 processor up towards an overclock of 4 GHz we'd say this ia a very succesful product from the guys over at Alphacool.
AlphaCool External 240x128 Display
Today we are testing this cute External LCD-Display with the colossal 240x128 Pixel dimensions. Now that by itself is cool, but the software controlling the unit is where the magic happens. You can display pretty much any system info, yet it goes way beyond that. RivaTuner is supported, Fraps, Mainboard Monitor (MBM), SpeedFan and it does not stop there.
Alphacool Ready2Go Stacker (Passive)
Alphacool can deliver pre-fitted and modified PC Cases with water-cooling (prefilled and leak tested) installed. Today Guru of 3D will test the Coolermaster Stacker Silver with preinstalled water-cooling from their Ready2Go series of products. Pretty much install your components and you are good to go. The beauty of this beast is the fact that it is passive water-cooling, the only thing connected to the power circuit is an inaudible pump. That means this system just does not make any noise, at least not that we can hear.

Rhino Records 76536
With the recent releases of the All Good Things box set, the first volume of the proposed Pure Jerry archival series, and – now – the triple-disc After Midnight, it seems as if the cork on the late Jerry Garcia's estate is finally gettin' popped. It's ironic, of course, that it's taken this long. Even during his most heroin-addled years, when his songwriting output dwindled to nearly zilch, Garcia remained a prolific live performer. Cynics might accuse any given Jerry Garcia Band release of being nothing more than a crisp document of a junkie playing for his junk. And they might be right. It's a bit sad to hear the lethargic rhythms creep in, as they do on After Midnight. They would plague the last 15 years of Garcia's career, eventually slowing nearly every song in Garcia's songbook to a generic mid-tempo crawl that gradually metastasized into a depressing plod by Garcia's 1995 death.
But, in 1980, when After Midnight was recorded, that sound was still an artistic choice, and Garcia was still exploring the canvas. Garcia's selection of material was as laid back as his arrangements. As he did for most of his extra-Dead career, Garcia sang mostly covers. And, while certainly not a substitute for new original material, they represent definite areas Garcia was interested in exploring as a musician and, especially, as a vocalist. The tunes fall into several categories, many of which cross-pollinated under Garcia's curiosity-propelled fingers: old pop numbers ("That's What Love Will Make You Do," "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You," "Tore Up Over You"), reggae or reggae-influenced grooves ("The Harder They Come," "I'll Take A Melody"), bluegrass holdovers ("Midnight Moonlight," "Catfish John"), supple stretchers ("After Midnight," "Sugaree"), and… Dylan ("Simple Twist of Fate," "Knockin' On Heaven's Door").
It is the last two categories that provide the most compelling music on After Midnight. The Garcia Band was more solo-oriented than the Dead, so when they actually begin to go out on the title track it is a great relief to the ears to hear the underlying structure begin to change. Garcia hits some sort of late '70s compression/distortion pedal (dialed to the most tasteful settings possible) and launches into vintage alien blues. After the relative stasis of the much of the other music, "After Midnight" actually seems like it's going somewhere, and it is: a transcendent instrumental reading of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" that Garcia was fond of in the spring of 1980. Garcia's guitar take on Paul McCartney's melody starts tentatively, but builds in expression and confidence as he goes. Garcia's playing is so often described as "lyrical" that it's a small, wonderful surprise to hear him voice an actual vocal line. By the second chorus, he's soaring, and with a slight-of-hand, snaps into double-time to lead the band back into "After Midnight." And, after the reprise, Garcia builds to an impressive crescendo, his solo fanning outwards with surprisingly little rock star pretension.
The disc's other apex comes with a breathtaking 17-minute version of Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate" that is impossibly languid and patient. Though John Kahn's Beavis-like bass solo briefly zaps the mood, Garcia milks every last nuance of Dylan's almost jazz-like changes. The band never strays from them, but Garcia's exquisite melodic grasp of the lyrics' solitude invests the chord progression with a downright ghostliness. This is how the Garcia Band is supposed to work, one senses: to see how far Garcia can push the boundaries of a bar band. It is an active expression of Garcia's perpetual musical question of whether transcendence really does lie between the changes of a song and not just the furthest reaches of jam-space.
The answer is the question, of course, and Garcia pondered it more nights than he didn't in the late '70s and early '80s. On this particular night, leading a lean club/theater-weaned quartet, he had particularly direct access to the kind of playing likely to get him there — and probably a refreshing change from the two-drummer monster the Dead had become in their post-hiatus years. Not that they were down for the count yet. Several months after the recording of After Midnight, Garcia and the Dead would record the nearly perfect acoustic live album Reckoning, which turned out to be arguably their last absolutely unqualified artistic success, and one that probably wouldn't have occurred without Garcia's work on nights like this. After Midnight is Garcia in full-quest.

Basketball at the 1976 Summer Games: Next Summer Games
Host City: Montréal, Canada
Venue(s): Ãtienne Desmarteau Centre, Montréal, Québec
Date Started: July 19, 1976
Date Finished: July 26, 1976
Format: Round-robin tournament.
|Soviet Union
|United States
Basketball World Championships for women had first been contested in 1953, with the United Statesâ women winning in 1953 and 1957. The Soviet Union then took over, winning in 1959, 1964, 1967, 1971, and 1975. European Championships had been contested since 1938, and the Soviets had won every title since 1950, save for 1958, when Bulgaria was the champion. Without an international loss in five years, the Soviets were felt to be the heavy favorites going into the first Olympic basketball tournament for women in 1976. The USSR team was led by their huge center, [Uljana Semjonova], who stood 2.11 (6-11). Six teams were entered â the USA, Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Japan, and Canada. But nobody was a match for the Soviet team, which defeated the United States, 112-77. Its closest match came against Czechoslovakia, when it won âonlyâ by 88-75.

Tired of unsolicited calls using up your cellphone minutes? Do you find yourself running short before the month is over due to them? Do you have what it takes to develop a technology that would prevent robocalls and thereby prevent these type of phone calls from disturbing the recipients?
If so, the FTC Director of Consumer Protection believes that the winner could become a national hero with the additional incentive of $50,000 being offered by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) for their efforts.
Though the term national hero may be somewhat of an exaggeration, the problem of robocalling is for real. In fact, it continues to flourish despite regulations and legal attempts to stomp out the problem. However, one must know that there are exceptions to the rules, laws, and regulations — such as the main one, which is designed to protect those individuals who actually opt-in to receive such solicitation. So, while the exceptions are few, telemarketers whose livelihood depends on making phone contact with the public as well as scam artists continue to bombard the public with unwanted calls — some even disturbing us in the middle of the night.
These calls have always been annoyance to me, but I recall, many years ago now, receiving a multitude of phone calls every Saturday morning between 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. At the time, these phone calls were especially annoying because they were coming to a home landline, which wasn't easily turned off, so they would wake us up. After about the eighth such event, I decided to do my own personal investigation. It didn't take me long to determine the exact company from which the calls were coming, the exact city from where the calls were being made, and the exact address where the boiler plant was located.
Then, with this information under my belt, I sat in wait one Saturday morning just hoping the phone would ring. When it did, I immediately answered the phone and waited a few moments so that the offender could begin his spiel. I then informed the person of how their disturbing behavior had created chaos in our home since Saturday mornings were the one day we could sleep in, and how the calls kept awakening the little ones. I further advised the person that I knew exactly where he worked, providing the street number, address, and city. I then not-so-subtly advised him to cease the calls to my home. I think I even went so far as to suggest that if the calls didn't stop, I would be paying him a visit. The calls stopped.
But do we need to personally take matters into our own hands to stop this nonsense? Unfortunately, it seems that the FTC is powerless to stop those who continue to annoy and disturb our privacy. So it is now left in the hands of those who have the expertise as well as the ability to develop and present a technological answer to the problem. If you are such an individual, you could find yourself collecting the $50,000 cash prize. For those of you who might have an interest in submitting a proposal to the FTC, you have until January 17th, 2013 to get your solution submitted.
If this is you, I wish you luck and would love to hear about your progress.
Comments are welcome.

The large capacity Mega Comby is the most versatile feed out machine on the market. It feeds out every supplementary type of feed you can lay your hands on, including all bale types, shapes and sizes. And any type of loose feed including fine chop silage, maize silage, root-crops, vegetables and more with a level load capacity of 17m3, which can be increased to 20m3 using the combination bin/fork assembly.
"This machine here can cut us back to 2 loads a day which is quite a few hours on the tractor"
- Tim Mathewson, Hororata - Mega Comby - NZ
"We look at total cost of ownership when purchasing any machinery. We take into account the storage capacity, the products required to be fed out, the efficiency of feeding out, potential downtime and maintenance costs. In the case of feed out machinery, the Mega Comby XL is in a class of its own."
- Tim - Rakaia Island, New Zealand Mega Comby XL
VERSATILITY – If you're feeding a combination of bales, silage, root-crops or any other supplementary feed, then the Mega Comby is the only multi-feeder you'll need. Mega Comby is able to feed all types, shapes and sizes bales including straw, hay and baled silage, fine chop silage, maize silage, root crops and literally any type of feed you can lay your hands on. The unique elevator design delivers feed out of the side of the machine allowing you to feed into troughs, feed-pads, bunks or open pasture
CONTROL – The unique design of the Mega Comby provides the operator with more control and visibility of the task at hand. More control over the feed-row lets you maximise your feed by varying from light for sheep and deer to the heavier row for feeding cattle and anything in between with no big clumps left in the pasture. The ability to see the entire load from the comfort of your seat puts you in control of feeding
RELIABILITY – The combination of a tough, well-proven design with the design smarts of the unique load dividing system reduces loads and stresses on drives, motors, shafts and the floor extending the working life, reducing maintenance and less to wear out which lets you spend more time feeding out, less time in the workshop.
EASY TO USE – With a simple Joystick Control Feeding System only 2 double acting hydraulic outlets are required to operate the entire machine. Elevator, main floor and cross floor giving you more control, from your fingertips. You have full control of the feed material, being able to forward and reverse all floor movements. The low loading height simplifies loading and the wide design makes it the most stable unit on the market.
ACCURATE FEED DELIVERY – All Comby feeders now come load cell ready as standard, which allows you to add the weighing option when it suits your operation so you can accurately measure the correct amount your herd needs, reducing waste and increasing the performance of your farm.

Can you sue your parents for support?
As long as your parents are together and you continue to live with them, you're not entitled to go to court to ask for child support because the court will assume that your needs are being met. In fact, section 215 of the Criminal Code makes it an offence for your parents not to provide you with the "necessaries of life." (The "necessaries of life" are enough food, shelter, and clothing to preserve and enjoy life.)
If your parents are separated and you're living with one of them, the parent you're living with is responsible for applying for child support from your other parent. If you're under 19, you're considered to be under a legal "disability" and you can't start legal proceedings without the help of a "litigation guardian" (formerly known as a "guardian ad litem"). But the court would probably refuse to appoint you a litigation guardian because the parent you're living with is responsible for applying for support.
If you're over 19, but still qualify as a "child" (either because you have a disability and can't work to support yourself or because you're enrolled in a full-time post-secondary educational program), you can apply for child support. A child who is over 19 can start a legal action without a litigation guardian.
If this is your situation, you'll have to prove that you're in financial need. A support order won't automatically be made. If you have a job or are married or in a common-law relationship, you'll find it difficult to succeed in such a court application.
If you're younger than 19 and not living with your parents, your parents are responsible for paying for your support, but, if they don't pay it, you'll have to start an court action to claim child support and you'll have to be represented by a litigation guardian. But even if the court is willing to appoint a litigation guardian for you, getting a child support order isn't automatic.
There are some cases where children under 19 haven't been entitled to receive child support. Usually, this happens when a child has run away from home, has found a job, and is living independently of his or her parents. A financially self-sufficient child who has left his or her parents' home may not be entitled to receive child support payments from them, especially if the child has refused to have a relationship with his or her parents.
If you're thinking about making a claim for child support, speak to a lawyer first, as the process can be quite complicated. For information about how to find a lawyer or get legal aid, see Who can help?
Tip: For more information on children's rights, parental responsibilities, and available resources, see the following: Legal Rights for Youth, Rights of Children and Teens, LSLAP Manual Family Law chapter (page 3–59), and/or Family Justice Centres (Attorney General ministry).

It's the decades-old question that has launched careers, and dashed dreams: "Why don't we make our own movies?"
Even at fifteen, I could appreciate just how difficult pulling something off like that would be, but the naïveté that comes with having a strong desire to do something without having any real knowledge of how to do so, made the idea of making our own movies seem possible; maybe even easier than I was anticipating.
Naturally, things didn't work out that way. Any movies my friends and I attempted to shoot usually wound up getting scrapped after an hour of filming, but something stayed with me. I spent months learning about screenwriting: reading every how-to book I could get my hands on; poring over the shooting scripts of my favorite films; engrossing myself in the world of screenwriting itself. Despite the constant failures on our part to actually finish any film we started, there was that one realization that stuck with me: I could still write them.
So here I am, over a decade later, still doing just that. I'm certainly no Mamet, Mann, or Sorkin, but I am doing my best to follow in the footsteps of those brilliant writers, and loving the pure creation that is fiction.

Facebook Addicts, Check Out This Video

text: I'm an 18 year old male, living in California. Over the past few weeks my motivation to do anything has gone way down. I haven't been to my college classes in almost 2 & a half weeks, because I simply am not motivated to go. I just don't want to do anything. The only thing that gets me out of this funk is being with my friends and playing video games because I don't have to worry about anything. I stopped working out, put on a few pounds, and I have a job. That seems to be the only thing I'm really motivated for because I get money for anything I want. But other than that, I don't want to do anything. I honestly feel like I have no place in this world and I'm destined to just sit on my ass (sorry for the language) and do nothing forever. What should I do doc?

Dear Diary,
I think we can all agree that fashion and compassion go hand-in-hand. In fact, I have proof! Thanks for my fabulous readers with big hearts, I have raised $105 towards emergency shelter and supplies through the Japan with Love project via Shelterbox. Because of this project, someone in Japan will receive the help they need to rebuild new lives and my readers will have a piece of Frills and Ruffles in their closet! I never thought starting a fashion blog would give me the opportunity to help others!
Have a great weekend everyone!

In the wake of the recent terrorist attacks, I find it surprising and disappointing not to find any comments whatsoever in the Echo Letters page regarding these barbaric acts.
I believe it's time for a full and frank debate that will allow the country as a whole to express their views as to what should be done to solve the ever growing problem.

We are delighted to have CenterWatch as our partner. Their dedication to high-quality service and study posting is exactly what the research industry needs in a mobile environment. We are thrilled to bring the combined product to the research industry
Past News ReleasesRSS
Dix Hills, New York (PRWEB) November 05, 2013
Study Scavenger is a free multilingual clinical trial smartphone app which allows potential research volunteers to access thousands of clinical research studies based on their personal preferences and needs. Potential research subjects benefit from using Study Scavenger, as they can connect directly to the research site of choice with a simple click,view the research site's website and easily gain more information about the study of interest. A total of 37,360 subscribers have subscribed to the application on both Iphone and Android in the first six weeks, and it has been increasing steadily, with over eight thousand studies presently recorded.
During Study Scavenger's first month of activity, Study Scavenger was able to collect more than 11,000 views, an impressive feat by itself. The data is a collection of views from three platforms: Just Another Lab Rat's website, Study Scavenger's website, and the mobile app the two had collaborated with to form.
Study Scavenger has recently partnered up with Centerwatch to release the app to let volunteers and research centers to gain access of each other easily. Study Scavenger founder and CEO Kerri Weingard said that, "We are delighted to have CenterWatch as our partner. Their dedication to high-quality service and study posting is exactly what the research industry needs in a mobile environment. We are thrilled to bring the combined product to the research industry."
A user, with the alias, Bns0792, commented 'the app is very likable, with the right information and accessibility' being its main points. ICON's San Antonio recruitment manager, Samantha Rocci, stated "We seem to be having a great response with Study Scavenger. Allowing our studies to be accessed on the mobile field has created a larger platform for us that has increased inquiries and interest from new and reoccurring volunteers".
About Study Scavenger
Study Scavenger allows potential volunteers to search for possible studies based on their health condition, age, location and requested patient stipend. Wtih Study Scavenger's bilingual functionality, many potential subjects can view studies in the language of choice. The app is currently being translated in to the Japanese, Russian and Chinese languages to further their scope.

The Tories have deliberately excluded trans children from its inclusion statement for the final draft of the National Curriculum. This appears not to be an oversight but a deliberate decision.
In the February 2013 the draft National Curriculum document included "gender identity" as part of its inclusion statement;
https://www.education.gov.uk/consultations/downloadableDocs/National%20Curriculum%20consultation%20-%20framework%20document%20(2).docx (Page 9 section 4.2)
The Final version, published in July excludes "gender identity" entirely, it has quite simply vanished;
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/210969/NC_framework_document_-_FINAL.pdf (Page 8 section 4.2)
As such it must be assumed that this is a deliberate exclusion rather than what trans people have become used to, being excluded through thoughtlessness. As such it is difficult to come to any conclusion other than that it is deliberate transphobia. The category "gender reassignment" is enshrined in the Equality Act 2010 and by excluding it as a conscious act, the DfE appears to be attempting to harm the interests of transgender children.
I have just made the Freedom of Information request to the DfE;
"The final version of the new National Curriculum, published in July, in its "Inclusion" section on P 8 (section 4.2) excludes "gender reassignment" whereas this aspect of diversity was included in the Feb 2013 draft version. Please could you send me the minutes of the meeting at which the decision was made to exclude this protected characteristic and please could you also send me a copy of the Equality Impact Assessment made prior to the exclusion of this protected characteristic. Please also send me copies of all emails, memos, discussion documents or protosals in which the exclusion of "gender reassignment" was discussed, mentioned or proposed."
If anyone can think of anything to add their FOI page is here;
I would suggest everyone to write to their MP and as him or her to ask Michael Gove. Secretary of State for Education why he has excluded "gender identity" from the final version of the National Curriculum inclusion statement, and if he will ensure that it is re-included. You can write to your MP here;
This does not appear to be an oversight but represents a deliberate act of transphobia, we cannot allow trans children to be excluded from school life, it is vital that they are included in everything to do with schools.

text: I just got my ECU flashed by Eurocharged..... I cannot say enough about what this flash has done for the performance of my RS6. Today my mechanic reinstalled my ECU and TCU after sending the ECU to Eurocharged and the TCU to MTM, and it was like i was putting my key into a new car. The acceleration is literaly breathtaking, and the transmission shifts so fast and so crisp. Anyone who does not have their ECU flashed by Eurocharged i highly reccomend it, it is without a doubt the most economical way to get the most out of your car. To tell you the truth i was kind of skeptical going into this, i really didnt think that a reprogrammed ECU could give my car close to 100 more bhp. I am now eating my words and embarassed for doubting their capabilities. I owe it all to Dave Hall, he was able to answer all of my questions and really helped me to talk my self into doing this. Jerry with Eurocharged was also awesome, he can answer any questions, is extremely accessable, and a really good guy. I am another satisfied Eurocharged customer.

If no annotations count, you cannot address the use cases that started this thread (and Ian, with due respect, you've just ignored them - how *would* you handle the "embarass" case whcih I remind you, is an ability our requirements necessitate) So fixing a spelling mistake may sound absurd, but consider if I have a web page that points to http://www.w3.com/.../owl and change it to http://www.w3.org/.../owl I've made a real change to the site and, for example, a crawler revisiting my site is likely to change a number of things based on this. We have a good solution to your problem -- when you fix the comments, you add that your new version is backwards-compatible with your old version so people know nothing contentive has changed. Look, I realize there is a real issue here - we have comments that we want to have meaning on (my embarass case) and comments we don't (Ian's preferred solution). One solution is that you only use rdfs:comments for those things that you want to have meaning on, and use xml comments on things that are illustrative. Ian doesn't like this. Ian, can you make a suggestion that can handle both contentive and non-contentive comments -- just ignoring the use cases for contentive comments won't make them go away -JH >Ian -- Professor James Hendler firstname.lastname@example.com Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies 301-405-2696 Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab. 301-405-6707 (Fax) Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 240-731-3822 (Cell) http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendlerReceived on Wednesday, 12 February 2003 08:23:46 UTC

This homemade production of diffusers for car lights, is addresed to models so different as Chevrolets 56′ and Soviet Ladas 1600. Diffusers lenses are manufactured of epoxy resin. To recover the original image from the lights of the cars, the designs are molded from original diffusers and its lenticular surfaces. However, many of the designs are hybrids and the geometric patterns of the diffusers include unexpected designs.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Smith
SMITH, a worker in metals. The O. Eng. smid, Du. smid, Ger. Schmied, &c., are from an obsolete Teut. verb smeithan, to forge. The root is seen in Gr. σμίλη, a graver's tool. It is apparently not connected with "smooth," where an original m has been lost. There is no foundation for the old etymological guess which identifies "smith" with "to smite," as the one who smites or beats iron. When used without such qualification as appears in "goldsmith," "silversmith," &c., the term means a worker in iron, especially as indicating a "blacksmith," one who forges iron, as opposed to "whitesmith," the finisher and polisher of iron, or "tinsmith," a worker in tin. The word has originated one of the commonest of English surnames, sometimes taking various archaic forms (Smyth, Smythe, Smigth, &c.; also German Schmidt).

Parish Made Faith Formation "Accessible"
By Beth Grisoli, Parishioner
Different. When Sarah Henry was pregnant, she had a sense that something was different.
"I don't know whether it was a voice or a premonition, and everyone brushed it off because all expectant women worry." But when they handed her baby Katie, Sarah looked at her daughter and thought, "Oh…different."
Katie, now 19 years old, has Downs Syndrome, and though no one at the hospital had told her or her husband Tom anything, Sarah knew she had been right all along.
Tom and Sarah calmly explain that "different" isn't the same as "bad." According to Tom, "She was just
, and when the doctor told us, it was like the best and worst day of your life."
When you find out your child has special needs, you have to let go of all the expectations you had. Tom continues, "It's just so overwhelming, you ask yourself, 'What does this mean? What will she be like? What are we up against?'" And as the pieces of broken dreams seemed to be scattered at their feet, they decided to put everything in God's hands to handle.
They started praying with Katie before she could even talk. They taught her about Jesus and celebrated his birthday on Christmas, because Katie always loved birthday parties. She knew Jesus was in church and began to think of church as heaven, because that's where Jesus was too.
When time came for religious education, Katie attended CCD classes until her first Communion. The classes became more challenging for her and soon it was too much to manage. A volunteer from Saint Pius offered to work with her one on one with the CCD lessons until things became just too academic. The Henrys felt like they had come to a dead end. "We just decided we'd have to sit out then. It was so hard," Tom says, "We wondered if this was as far as we could go with it."
But God has a way of sending angels when you need them most, and Saint Pius Parish is a reliable source of them. At the time Michele Chronister was beginning a religious education and faith formation program for children and adults with disabilities and special learning needs - the Children of St. Angela Merici.
Sarah says, "She was AMAZING. The most calm, loving, happy person. It's just a beautiful thing she created. So welcoming and positive. Katie looked forward to it every week."
The program uses a combination of learning strategies and touchable objects that make concepts of faith very real to the children and adults. Michele has since moved from the area, but the Children of St. Angela Merici program continues at Saint Pius.
"We say prayers every night, and one night Katie just started in on the Hail Mary and Glory Be and just about blew me away," Tom laughs. "You knew it was a great program because I don't think she even knew she was in a class to learn things. " She learned the seasons of the church year and corresponding vestments by helping a Father Pius doll vest every class. By the time she was ready to be confirmed, Katie knew the rosary, all the parts of the Mass and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. She also decided she wanted to serve Saint Pius as an altar server.
Sarah smiles, "We all benefitted from it so much. It did so much for Katie to be able to participate and really understand what we're doing at Mass. It gave her a real connection to church."
Having a child with special needs can be very isolating. Families often feel left out of things many parents take for granted. When Katie finished the program, the Henrys had a very different feeling than they did years earlier when CCD didn't seem possible anymore.
"We had so much peace when we completed the St. Angela program," Tom says. "This ministry not only makes faith formation accessible to those with intellectual challenges, it reminds us that 'different' is definitely not the same as 'bad.' These children and adults are perfect in God's eyes."
[God] said to me, 'My grace is enough for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.' – 2 Corinthians 12:6

Secrets of Success
March 21, 2010
Sunday, March 21, 2010
This is a photo I shot at the Angola Prison Rodeo about a year ago which illustrates the idea of "being in the fight" even if you aren't necesssarily winning! I've been thinking of some of the readings I've done in training the mind for success...books like Psycho-Cybernetics, by the late Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Keys to Success, by Napoleon Hill...both pioneers in the field and whose writings have shaped many of today's motivational experts like Tony Robbins, Tony Buzan, Earl Nightingale, and Zig Ziglar, among many others. I haven't finished my swim in this vast sea, but I am finding some common ideas that seem to "program" changes to the mind and, thereby indeed, predict "success."
I have long maintained...and I believe that Biblical Scripture supports...that change begins in the mind. Proverbs 23:7 says that a person is "as he thinks in his heart." In other words, our thoughts shape and give birth to our actions. Romans 12:2 indicates that "transformation" is possible by changing or "renewing" the way we think. Indeed, the Biblical concept of "repentance" means to have a "change of heart"...to literally "turn around" and go another way than one has been going. All of these writers likewise indicate that this "change" is more than mere "positive thinking." Some of the elements necessary to restructuring this "expectation" of a positive outcome" in place of previous patterns of disappointment and failure include:
1. a sense of value and purpose to undergird our efforts toward change, i.e., we must believe that we, individually and personally, "deserve" to, and are "intended to...succeed."
2. absolute conviction that change is necessary for survival
3. a clear "vision" and step-by-step plan for what you want to achieve, i.e., of what "success" looks like to you personally
4. the acquisition of any pertinent knowledge/education and skills which might be lacking and which will move us toward our goal
5. self-discipline in eschewing detrimental habits and patterns of thought and in building new more positive forms of behavior
6. ability to reach and implement firm decisions quickly once sufficient data has been gathered
7. belief that the desired outcomes or goals are worth any cost or struggle necessary to achieve those goals
8. belief in the good and benevolent character of a "higher power" who is committed to your well-being...this enables gratitude and the ability to keep going in the face of obstacles...Jeremiah 29:11 says of the Lord God: "'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says the Lord, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give your a future and a hope.'"
9. a company of positive, supportive, like-minded individuals who will encourage and believe along with you when the going is rougher than you feel equipped for alone
Such positive attitudes seem in themselves, to generate energy that move us closer to our goals. Today, for example, I blew my diet by eating a hot fudge brownie a la mode. Because I have been eating such a "clean" diet for weeks, this "treat" tasted so sickly sweet that I didn't even enjoy it! So instead of beating myself up for falling off the wagon, I am turning mental cartwheels of gratitude that my tastebuds are apparently being reshaped to the point that I am learning to not even want things that will carry me closer to the tipping point in the diabetes/heart disease progression. I see my "thinking" being reshaped, and my actions must inevitably follow. My body chemistry is actually being restructured!!
The point is that with the right attitudes and tools, we can literally rewrite the underlying logarithms of our physical bodies. As one who has endured long years of illness, I can't tell you how excited this makes me. And so, I leave you with a poem by Walter Malone that is quoted on pages163-164 of Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success, edited by Matthew Sartwell, published by Dutton, a division of Penguin Books.
They do me wrong who say I come no more,
When once I knock and fail to find you in;
For every day I stand outside your door,
And bid you wake and rise, to fight and win.
Wail not for precious chances passed away;
Weep not for golden ages on the wane;
Each night I burn the records of the day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped,
To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb'
My judgments seal the dead past with its dead,
But never bind a moment yet to come.
Have you slipped and fallen on your path to success today? Get up, give thanks for lessons learned, and keep going. Here's to those who, in the words of Theodore Roosevelt, are "actually in the arena." (http://artofmanliness.com/200
-roosevelt/ for the full quote...) At least you have begun! Bravo!!

Beautifully written, and I have heartfelt agreement with the purpose in them.
I may call it 'awareness' or mindfulness' or someother phrase... but intent does make a big difference!

M.E. Monday #4 – Blog Tour Sign Ups, Upcoming Review
What's up?
Okay. Let's get this over with.
The Oracle of Delphi Blog Tour sign up list just went up over at Bookfever. Thanks to Stephanie (who is just awesome) and who is hosting the tour and helping me keep this part of my crazy life together! If you are a book blogger or know a blogger who would like to participate, send them my way or just click on the Bookfever button to the right and sign up! I'l be contacting all bloggers at the beginning of October. (Don't forget to follow Stephii's blog. Girl reads like twenty books a month. No lie. Love her reviews though.)
I'm pretty sure my review for "The Nightmare Stone" by Finian Black will be posted this week. I've been bad about getting through my review list, but I couldn't resist this book (especially after I realized what was going on). It'll be done very soon. I have to finish "Ann Angel's Freedom" by Katharina Gerlach and then I'll be reading "Water Harvest" by Eric Diehl after that.
But I'm really excited to read "Steel Wings" by my girl Mia Darien. I have a feeling I'm in for a treat with this one and simply can't wait. Then after THAT, "A Prince from the Shadows" by J. Curtis Mace. I was asked to review this book, but I also won a hard copy of it and I'm super excited to get it in the mail! I'll take a pic and post it when I receive it! All of my reviews will be posted to DJ's Book Corner but I'll definitely link from here when they go live.
Other than that, I feel the sequel to Prophecy of the Most Beautiful is on schedule with editing and all that, but I could be fooling myself. I've deleted stuff but also added stuff. *voice booms* IT MUST BE PERFECTION! So I should probably get my butt off of Blogger, Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, and go write something. Yeah.
See you next Monday when it will still be all about me!

LearningReviews Grammar directory lists 20 extra web sites, games and apps to assist students of all ages be taught English grammar. The south-east is dear whether or not you live in a great space or a not-so-good space, and in all the regions I mention above, the dearest properties are typically still a lot, less expensive than a comparable home in Sussex, Surrey or Hampshire. You see, the door that leads to the garage into the house will get critically banged up -especially from the surface which is proven right here. Orientation – Check the orientation of the house in relation to the sun angle and how pure lighting will penetrate the house. Also, the solar might really feel good to you, but rabbits are extraordinarily delicate to heat and vulnerable to dehydration, indoor ones particularly, but all of them will die in the event that they get too sizzling. You might help preserve a healthy and various wildlife ecosystem by inviting extra bats into your yard habitat with these bat box plans for a simple to make and ornamental bat home.
My parents rented for years and I found out later the landlady never raised the lease in all the years we lived there. Great Hub and a really comprehensive listing of on-line property brokers, here's yet another for you which of them advertises your house free on a spread of websites. This is a free promote your individual home web site, however past that there are different services you may pay for, e.g. you can buy a For Sale signal for £30, or pay for them to advertise your home on Google. Where the ecliptic intersects the aircraft of the meridian underfoot, at the backside of the chart, we've the Nadir or Fourth House cusp. An entire kitchen or maybe a number of accent pieces for a sun and water washed décor.
This is the primary Hub I actually have ever learn, the advice is terrific.I actually have had a mould drawback in the house porch since the beginning of December and was at my wits seems terrible and I knew it was also a well being hazard. It will go throughout the house so you just should observe it. You can both remove it by pulling it by way of the walls and ceilings or you may lower it into smaller items (smaller pieces are simpler to strip). A very modest one bed room residence may only cost $650 a month in budget housing however those who rent it must earn at the very least $1950 a month generally. You would have bought your ticket for the 'Packet Boat' at the Packet House and boarded on the Boat Steps.
Your Mercury-the way you think-or your Venus-your social life and love nature-might be in Sagittarius or Aquarius, since they are the planets closest to the Sun. So this lens has been very useful to me. I even have at all times needed to build cat timber robust & durable sufficient for big cats to jump on. Thank you for sharing the instructions on how you can go about doing this! Sweet & Savory Artisan Soaps has a collection of soaps made with Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, and Palm Oil as well as Shea Butter together with other natural ingredients. We reside in age where we are cocooned, thick loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, double glazing,central heating, thick fitted carpets and so on, the house or flat cannot breath, most moisture is being created inside the 4 partitions and cannot get out. However, the 52-yr-previous British star lately announced he would do a lot much less appearing as soon as House got here to an end.
I buried the two that passed and mentioned a prayer to Great Spirit honoring them & always thanking for the sign/present. I had my house fairly clear and my hoard tamed when my change flipped and I saw how way more potential I had to clear. Once a household has misplaced their effectively-paying job, financial savings and their home, it is very tough to accumulate sufficient money for a rental deposit or down cost on a house. Co-signers could be of help, sadly, the combined revenue of the renter and the cosigner usually must equal at the very least five instances the month-to-month hire and the co-signer must not have a excessive debt-to-earnings ratio. I walk into the home and he or she does not say two words to me, then proceeds to cover upstairs. Cooper's Comics & Collectibles has an enormous number of comedian books and collectibles.

"Its Own Sweetness"-M.Hettich
That was my mantra, so to speak, that whole year. It wasn't a very good mantra, but it was something, which is what I needed. I had been desperately searching for some sort of meaning in my life since the future became now, since they banned public television and radio, since Hollywood had taken over.
My life had become the stuff of post apocalyptic distopian awareness, but nothing exciting had actually happened. No nuclear bombs had wiped out the big-apple, no epidemic diseases had forced humanity into any sort of careful interactive subtlety, no reason to move underground yet. That British girl was more of a living figment, imagined from some interpreted experience I'd had with an exchange student who had charmed me with her wit and then promptly disappeared into a hazy glamorous Neu-American fashion scheme, full of colors and aggressive sexuality. But, those two minutes, when we had talked about the tragic meandering of the plot in some book I had been trying to read or a song I was obsessed with (I actually don't remember), had stuck with me. It had been my only real interaction with anything tender and feminine in years.
I've never been a very funny person. This accounts for my terrible luck with the ladies. I think if I had been able to turn up the silly and turn on the charm, maybe I'd have been able to stop her from getting all herped up and cavorting with the scantly clad pretty-boys I'd recently seen her exploiting, full swing Neu-American rock star.

At this point, most of my old friends had acquired their fair share of S.T.D.s, which scooted them gently up into the upper echelon of society. It was because of this that I was still living in an old, semi-broken, pink house in a segregated post-resort community with a naked face and an empty ego.
This was a fair amount of time after Justin Timberlake had publicly announced that he finally had AIDS to a crowd of screaming pre-teens and post-adolescent sexy-males. Winnona Ryder was loosing it to Syphilis. Most of my friends had only been able to afford Herpes. The few that had the wit and charisma enough to end up with something stronger were drinking Champaign and Whiskey Sours atop The Standard Hotel while their Valet parked cars shined, newly waxed.
I hadn't been born to survive in this sort of ultra charged sexual climate. Anyway, even though that British girl was pretty much my last hope, I don't know why I held on to her as an object of affection so long after she went and got all cool. But I did it. And I did it. I did it while sitting at Starbucks, one of the few glamorous locations that still didn't require S.T. ID or proof of infection. I did while shopping for groceries. I did during the lambent silence just before bed. I spent most of my time imagining she'd show up at one of these places, drop pretense just enough to say "hi". I imagined that maybe she remembered what we had talked about, so I'd have to pretend I still did. There wasn't much chance left of that.
"I hear she writes charming pop songs and drives her car aggressively." Jasmin had said on my birthday, a windy May Day spent moping yet again, at Starbucks. He was my only compatriot left. He had a moustache, which kept him out of high-society, though he was classy enough to be whisked right up. He loved his moustache. He loved it enough that he was still stuck downstairs with me, while the boozing and schmoozing kept itself happy, up on the top floor.
"I hear she likes cats and isn't afraid to die." He'd continued.
"I hear she lies compulsively and reads philosophy for fun." He was killing me softly, probably for his own entertainment.
"Do you still dream in black and white?" I asked, mostly to change the subject.
Jasmin had a rare disease that I'd actually been trying, unsuccessfully, to catch. For a while he had been physically unable to experience color in his dreams. We shared sips of coffee and sometimes I took tentative drags off of his cigarettes, just so I'd have a chance at perversely infecting myself. I thought it was poetic and sort of oddly romantic, our compulsive friendship, my life with the man with the ladies name. Oh, and I was tired of color.
I had been dreaming of nothing but my own vivid death for years.
"Mmhmm." He seemed somewhat exasperated. "Every night."
That's how it had become. I was tired of bright. I was tired of excitement. I wanted Sunday service and pumpkin pie. I fulfilled small but ever-present companionship issues by finding helpless replacements.
When I was a child, my future was full of flying cars and robot wives. I'd sing myself little robot love songs during gym class. I always wanted to dance. Now, my future is now and it isn't what I was expecting.
Oddly enough, the British girl did end up at Starbucks—imagine that! Birds were singing. There were probably butterflies. She walked right by us, pretending not to notice we existed. I looked at Jasmin, who had stopped mid sentence. He raised his coffee cup, as if to cheers me and said sweetly, "To heartaches and bad tomorrows."
We had found my new mantra.
I started this blog post as the uncensored musings of a deliberate and life-long nerd. I've been all about Sci-Fi for pretty much as long as I've been all about breathing and/or growing, and so (as one might expect) I'm having a hard time remembering what exactly it was about Science Fiction that initially tickled my fancy. Maybe it was the robots? Maybe it was the perverted future it seemed my generation was going to be growing in to? Maybe it was the obvious—that I was excited by the idea of space travel, by possible robot friends, by laser-gun-toting-android-killing-badass-detectives, etc… Anyway, I grew up on sci-fi, which makes sci-fi hard to quantify.
I was planning on writing about a new science fiction that doesn't strictly involve science. I was planning on writing about how science fiction, poetry, absurdist theatre, magical realism, and others have congealed into a new, unlabeled but exciting fiction. I was planning on excitement and extra work, but I'm sick, and exhausted, so I'm going to post a story instead…
I hope it reads well.
