In Philippines, I think regular people in public can be rather shy and don't just smile at random strangers as much as they do in say DR, Colombia, or maybe Brazil. Many of the better looking non-desperate girls you see in higher end malls, etc. can even be standoffish. But if you deal at the very low-end (those public outdoor markets Taco talks about or the lowest paid and least attractive mall girls Will N. Dowd likes to mingle with) then you can elicit some smiles and even flirting.
In general, a lot of Filipinos are still approachable. If you engage them in the right way they will definitely help you out in majority of cases if you ask for directions, etc. But when I walk out and about malls here and there, I feel mostly invisible, just like I do in most other places (except maybe in countries or areas dominated by black African populations).
As for Japan (Greater Tokyo) in my visits there, it's a weird place. When you stop a stranger, they will talk to you. They will smile in a weird way. If you ask directions, they may spend 5 or 10 minutes drawing you out a detailed map while explaining every detail (usually in Japanese lol). They do make eye contact too. But it all seems fake and phony, almost as if you are talking to a robot or something. If you are some kind of guest or visitor to a business, they are also very formal but smile and bow a lot. If you club with them, they can be chill and looser. And there are some vids of black dudes (sometimes w Japanese wing) approaching Japanese girls. The reactions aren't all that bad in many cases. Japanese are a different breed than S. Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese, HKers, SPeans, etc. They have their own ways. Don't say too much about them Winston if you've never even been in country.
I was expecting to be bowed down like a god in philippines after reading Will N Dowd and Winston but your experience is actually closer to reality. I thought it was just my imagination that most filipinas especially hot ones or ones with a job seemed standoffish or as quiet as american girls. Its only the less attractive or very poor filipinas that will give you attention that is quite flirtatious and often you have to initiate things to get to that level.

If you're on the fence or planning on going to the Sevens, you may have already started to think about potential outfits. Back in yesteryear, costumes were elaborate, shiny, and impressively creative. Although things have since calmed down and wearing a sheet or team supporters gear is accepted, I'm in the market for something special - the real competition for me has nothing to do with rugby. Coming up with a great Sevens costume can take time, so it's better to start early to ensure minimum stress come Jan.
For some, Sevens costumes can be a sensitive topic! I learnt this the hard way last year when I innocently asked my sister why her horse costume had sticks coming out the sides of it, only to be met with an indignant response of "Eve, clearly, I'm a merry-go-round". Clearly...
Basically, inspiration and simplicity are key. Something as simple as a watering can could be the winning costume if done well (fingers crossed there's a cash prize up for grabs again).
The first step to costume amazingness is deciding whether you want to go as an individual or as a group. Individual costumes can be pretty spectacular - I mean, who will ever forget the man who went carrying his own head? - but group costumes often prove easier and just as effective. Even a last minute, thrown-together outfit can be great when it's multiplied by nine.
The second step is deciding on ready-made or homemade. For those who are handy with a sewing machine, there are a number of great fabric shops dotted around the city where you can find something to stitch up - Spotlight, Fabrics Direct and The Fabric Store, to name a few. Places like The Fabric Store tend to stock more high-end linens and silks, so wouldn't be your first stop for bulk material, but it is worth keeping an eye out for their cheaper sample fabrics. Made on Marion is my go-to for everything arts and craftsy. Need sequins, buttons, elastic, ribbon, or dye? You name it - they've got it.
Then, of course, there's ol' faithful Wisebuys on Cuba Street; so much more than a $2 shop, Wisebuys is one of those odd but great places where you walk in for a couple of bobby pins and walk out in a Pikachu onesie. Grab the essentials – cheap paint (be it for your costume or your face), glitter, and maybe some nail polish to finish the job. It's smorgasbord of everything plastic, fluorescent and "made in China". What better for the Sevens??
Although it may seem like cheating, we don't all have the time or talent to rig up our own costume. If you are someone who spent last year being complimented on your efforts as a thorn bush when you were trying to channel Poison Ivy, a good old fashioned costume shop could be the way to go. Two personal favourites are The Costume Cave, on Wakefield Street and The Costume Company, on Willis Street - peruse online beforehand if the abundance of costumes seems daunting. The Costume Company is your best bet if you are looking for a particular piece to complete your outfit. Wigs, hats, masks and other accessories can be rented out separately. It's an easy way to complete your look without the expense of a full costume.
From comic book characters to headless men to… merry-go-rounds, the Wellington Sevens has seen a lot! A quirky stand-out costume is the best way to get noticed. Speaking of which, anyone have an idea for a good group costume...??

Pork22 has it right. He's one of the worst scammers out there. I used to work at a television station, and we had a blanket policy on not running his infomercials.
Incidentally my fiancee has one of his books. I'd like to assure everybody that we did not pay for it, were just curious and picked it up at a giveaway. Its noot the one you were talking about but its total crap.

I think you mean Kevin Trudeau. He has had quite a few legal issues, including larceny while posing as a doctor and credit card fraud for which he spent two years in prison in the 90s. When he got out he ran a pyramid scheme. Since then he has been in and out of court with the Federal Trade Commission many times. The man is a convicted con artist. Why would you pay him for a book about "Free money"? I suggest finding a more reputable author.

December 20th, 2006, 07:03 PM #1Making the impossible possible
I don't know what it is about me, but if there is a way to make the impossible possible - I tend to find it.
For those who don't hear the weather outside their own locales, we are in the middle of a huge blizzard here in Colorado. It started this morning and has already dumped three feet at my place. It is going to continue through the night and through mid day tomorrow. I've already run the plow blade over our road three times - and I'm sure I'll do it at least twice more before hitting the hay tonight. So here is the impossible that I made possible today......
Several hours ago while I was plowing in my pickup truck, I noted the blade was not dropping all the way to the ground. I have an electric winch type system for raising and lowering the blade. Apparently while plowing up a big mound of snow, the snow mound raised the blade, and the chain that raises and lowers the blade got hung up - so the blade was stuck half way.
I got out and looked under the blade to see that the chain had bound up on a mounting bolt. I raised the blade all the way up to allow slack on the bottom half of the chain. I was laying on my side tapping on the chain to free it up and suddenly - as it let loose, the blade (230 lbs) did a free - fall right onto the side of my head. My head was pinned between the blade and the driveway. Odd thing is - I conscientiously thought about that possibility before I positioned myself near the underside of the blade. I thought I had positioned myself out of the range of the blade... I was wrong
At first I laid there with my head smashed under that guillotine. Then when I realized that I was ok, I pushed up the side that was on my head and scooted out from under it. Luckily - and I mean LUCKILY - I was wearing a coyote Cossack hat. The blade came down on it, cutting the fabric, but sparing my cranium. It cut the side of my face about half way down my right ear, and also gashed my ear. I hobbled into the house and Ellen immediately came to my aid. After laying on the couch for a bit, popping some aspirin and holding a towel against the wounds and calming down - the pain started to subside. Now all I have is a bit of a headache - but I am somehow OK.
I can't help but laugh at my poor fortune on this one. I mean - after all, How many people have ever gotten their head stuck under a plow blade? What are the odds of that one happening? LOL (ouch)
Any way, just had to report it here. Ellen won't let me lay down or sleep for a few more hours, so I had some time to kill. I am really happy and really fortunate that this was not a disaster. But on the up side of things - now if any of you ever wants to know what it feels like to have a 230 lb steel plow blade drop flat on your head from two feet above you - I have some experience in that area.

OMG - that's just exactly the kind of thing we Mothers worry about when there's some sort of bad weather or natural disaster. We always think that if there's a way for something to break off or get cut off or whatever - it's going to happen.
My MIL is in Loveland and we were talking to her just awhile ago. You guys are really getting hit hard.
Matt started a thread about the blizzard and we were hoping you were OK. Little did we imagine the truth. Take care!

Glad you are OK!!

Well, I am happy to have awakened this morning and so far - no headache.
Thanks for the kind words gang. Pop, your notes to self are wise reminders! Very funny too - made me smile.
I just measured out on the front deck and so far it's 41". We are in a little mountain area called "Pine" Colorado and generally we do not get the real heavy snows. But every once in a while - the snow Gods figure it's time to catch us up. This is supposed to end sometime this afternoon (which won't really bother me). My sons, DIL's and two grand babies are coming this weekend and a white Christmas it will be for sure!

I am glad you didn't get hurt man. That must have scared the crap out of you! I'm glad you guys made it through the storm "relatively" unhurt. I bet you are the only one on the mountain who got his head stuck under a plow blade yesterday. December 20th is now Plow Day in the Hamilton household. See? It's like a mini-holiday leading up to Christmas.
Have you checked the blade for damage? sorry, I had to
See you soon bud
December 21st, 2006, 01:29 PM #10
Matt - Thanks dude. I'm alive and well and for that I am thankful. I think other than a mild concussion and a broken thumb on my right hand that everything else is in working order - so I'm ready to have a few red bulls and vodka with ya.
Scooter - "Plow Day"???? That has a nice ring to it. I did some checking around and sure enough, there were no other instances reported on Dec 20 of anyone having their head crunched by a plow blade! It DID scare the crap out of me cuz I was worried that my hard head may have damaged the blade - but it seems to work ok today, so all's well that ends well! C'Ya soon.

I'm so glad that you are OK.
December 21st, 2006, 06:58 PM #14
Thank you very much Sheri. Yes, it could easily have been a tradgedy. What shakes me a bit in the aftermath is how it was NOT. I can't believe it happened, especially when I had positioned myself where I thought I would be clear of it in case it broke lose. The really great part of it is that aside of a broken thumb and a couple of cuts I am absolutely fine - so thank you for caring!Join the Spicy Aprons Affiliate program on ShareASale Visit us on Facebook www.facebook.com/spicyaprons Follow us on Twitter @Spicyaprons

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
For a customer I need to produce classic Word 97-2003 formatted documents (.doc), since they do not yet want to switch their enterprise document standard to OOXML (.docx). And although not yet a requirement, I expect support for creation of OpenDocumentFormat
(.odt), PDF and PDF/a to become a nice-to-have soon. I therefore looked into some commercial converter libraries and found
Aspose.Words. I only did a few tests, but so far it looks promising and considering the price, it's definately not worth building the actual conversion yourself. If you only need to create PDF-documents, you can also check out
AltSoft's Xml2Pdf Server which seems to do the exact same.
Make sure you test the output of these products before actually buying them! The conceptual differences in the fileformats themselves make conversion a very complex task and each vendor chooses their own way of handling those differences.

Herbert Smith has worked with Co-operative Financial Services' (CFS) in-house legal function to bring about a complete restructuring of the mutual's insurance business.
Peter Kerns, head of legal for CFS, collaborated with Herbert Smith's head of financial institutions David Willis in the work to split the general and life businesses of CFS subsidiary the Co-operative Insurance Society (CIS).
The restructure is designed to bring the CIS into line with European directives, which require insurers to split the selling of life and non-life insurance. The Co-op is one of the few remaining insurers to undertake the split.
The new structure was due to take effect yesterday (15 January) following approval by the CFS board. CIS General Insurance will sell motor, home and commercial insurance, while CIS will continue to offer life, savings and investment policies. In total, CIS has five million customers and around £16bn worth of assets.
Kerns said a team of four lawyers, led by Chris Parsons, head of insurance, contracts and commercial for the CFS legal function, handled most of the in-house work, including drafting the new asset transfer and services agreements. Herbert Smith looked after other aspects, such as indemnity, reinsurance and loan agreements.
"Herbert Smith have wider expertise in that sort of corporate structuring," Kerns explained. "They're lawyers that work with the business. Because we've got such a long relationship with them, they know the ins and outs of our business."
He added: "The relationship worked very well; there is almost continual liaison to make sure the transaction progresses."
Both the CFS and CIS are longstanding Herbert Smith clients across a variety of practice areas.

Venice Biennale Sessions
The Venice Architecture Biennale is widely considered the world's most significant exposition of international architecture. Naturally, the United States has a permanent pavilion on the Biennale grounds.
During the course of the Biennale, educational programs, referred to as the "Biennale Sessions" are offered by an international array of universities. This year, ISU's Department of Architecture was invited to offer an educational program, which will consist of a three-day student workshop addressing temporary shelter for refugee and disaster relief in architecture and a one-day colloquium addressing issues related to agency and social responsibility of architects. In addition to the academic work the students will carry out, they will see first hand the work of internationally renowned architects as well as have the opportunity to come into contact with professionals in the field or architecture and design.
Descriptions of the workshop and colloquium are available here: Biennale.

The main residence concept was inspired by the panoramic views. The changes of level followed the natural terrain on the ridge. The owner wanted an open plan naturally ventilating building with the lowest possible power demand. With only monkeys birds and butterflies for neighbours I did the maths and realised that fixed glass was the lowest cost wall long term. At 220m elevation the ambient temperature ranges between 20 & 32 deg C so wall insulation was not needed. Living in tropical Padang is different to Bali. I knew the house needed to work well in rain storms so I opted for a lot of glass louvres. Fully insect screened living spaces are essential in the jungle or the jungle will come to visit when the lights go on at night. Most of all the owner wanted panoramic views from every part of the house. MATERIALS
Material choice was easy. The rocks are from the site and the surrounding hillsides. The friends and families of the tradesmen stacked them in carefully measured piles and a beat up old truck collected them every week. Padang has one of the oldest cement factories in the world and the product is export quality so concrete floors and a structural frame were something that the local masons were skilled at building. The timber for the roof and suspended floors was easy to find and the plywood ceilings came from a local factory. Glass, aluminium and steel all came from Jakarta or Medan but nothing in the structure need to be imported. The owner wanted marble floors from the outset and was lucky enough to find a supply of export quality very hard marble (almost a granite) in a pale grey colour that worked very well with the local stone. Black marble for the bathroom came from Solok in the mountains and the same quarry offered us free off-white marble quarry scraps… these now cover all the terraces. SITE
There were no trees in the footprint… some past owner had cleared the area for growing chilli. The ridge lies on solid rock (I surveyed the area with care) and is well drained and stable. Next came an A3 pencil sketch of the plan and elevations and I went to site to see how well it fit. After some quick measurements, the owner started splitting bamboo with a machete and staking out the perimeter of the building. We set up some bamboo frames to check floor levels for the cut and fill and played with the curve by eye until it felt right… DOCUMENTATION
I thought, ok thats good, now I can start the architectural drawings… then the owner said: "you're far to busy to do the drawings so lets start digging the foundations now" …. as an architect, I was astounded of course! We always do drawings in great detail, get engineers to do more drawings, change the design several times and finally call contractors to quote on the documents. The owner was having none of that. I told the tradesman who had built the garage retaining wall to start digging the footings that afternoon. They dug down to rock and I told them how to place the steel in the trenches. Within a week we had the stone walls started but still no idea how we would build the roof. Not even the beginning of an idea. Back at the hotel the owner started playing with cardboard inspired by the way a pack of cards splays to make a stepping curve. I found that we could generate triangular sections of roof that stepped down if I worked from the focal point of the curved walls and the idea of the radiating roof beams came naturally. I calculated that these roof segments could each be perfectly level and step down to the next by sitting on top of it. 3D MODELLING
Knowing the area was prone to earthquakes, I had conceptualised the structure as a series of reinforced concrete ring beams about one meter apart in the vertical plane. This was in part inspired by traditional Nias oval houses we had seen in books and in part by the radical floor plan. Oval or round buildings resist earthquakes by moving in the horizontal plane "as one" rather than concentrating seismic forces that destroy rectangular structures. The idea was to avoid any hard corners in the multi story section of the building where there was far more glass than stone wall. The only right angle corner in the entire external wall is in the South East corner. At that point the building sits in a excavated terrace well below natural ground and directly on bedrock. The stacked ring beam concept freed us to place walls and columns where we wanted as we built the stonework. The rings were also placed at every floor level and tied into the floor slab with a lot of reinforcing bar.
- The other way this building handles quakes came about by chance. The owner needed to store a lot of rainwater because there is no mains supply anywhere near us. There is no ground water either because we are located on a saddle at the top of a mountain. I designed large tanks under the floor to store water. Later I found out by direct observation that the big water tank under the house (and the one under the studio) act as shock absorbers in a quake. They are very effective dampers. A graphic example of this is the hand blown glass vase that you may have noticed in photos of the lounge. It is heavy and has a spherical base and a very long neck. It is generally filled with water and a bunch of leafy whatever from the garden. It is not what you would call stable having only a small flat base.
- In the big quake the vase rocked but did not fall down. A lot of more stable looking items like clay planter pots fell and broke. I am convinced that the water sloshing in the bowl stabilised the vase…… and that the water in the subfloor tanks saved the buildings from cracking.
ROOF Next came the steel pipe "hub" for the spiral roof and a local welder make ring brackets that were a good fit but free to slide and turn. After building scaffold to support the hub and the workers joined the roof beams to each bracket. Using lots of bamboo supports they then moved the beams radially until they created the column and wall configuration I wanted. The beams were then jacked up one by one so that bottom of each beam was level with the top of the beam below. As each beam was located, we added more bracing and props to keep in place then dropped lead lines to determine the placement of the starter bars in the ring beams… then the walls were built and columns poured up to meet the beams… the opposite way to conventional construction but very fast and accurate. I doubt we could have done it any other way!
DESIGN AS YOU BUILD Many architect friends have visited Air Manis Hill Residence and all of them find it hard to believe that this structure was built without a single measured drawing…. the process was more like sculpture than architecture and a very liberating experience for all involved. I would never have tried had the owner not started digging the foundations the day after the pencil sketch. It was the most exciting build of my life and totally hands-on…. as they say on Myth Busters…. don't try this at home!

No summer traditions.. other than homemade ice cream on my grandpa's back porch. Mostly peach. Took fresh peaches off the trees in the yard and tossed them into the vanilla recipe. It was great!
My current job. Sitting at a desk, crunching numbers and making mutual fund trades.. well, it's just not all that stimulating.
Energy. Soul. Love. Those things last forever.

Honda Stream
Honda Stream Parts & Accessories
The Honda Stream was a compact MPV, manufactured between 2001 and 2005, with it's exterior design being a mixture of a compact MPV and SUV yet with a height of less than 1.6m. It's handling characteristics compare more to a hatchback, however and it's top speed is reported as 127mph. Based largely upon the popular Honda Civic model upon launch, the Stream was introduced to accommodate a third row of seats, thus extending the same flat chassis by 100mm. Honda's marketing material defined the Stream as a 'sporty 7 seater.' Of course, having 7 seats made the vehicle popular with families. The vehicle was given a facelift in 2004 prior to it's discontinuation shortly afterwards.
If you're the owner of a Honda Stream and are looking for replacement parts and accessories, either for routine maintenance or emergency or essential repairs, here at Cox Motor Parts, you'll find an extensive range alongside highly competitive, discounted online prices. From full service kits and clutch kits through to brake pads, brake discs, oil and so much more, we're confident you'll find the Stream parts you're looking for. If you're struggling to decide which are the right parts for your vehicle, we encourage you to pick up the phone and call our team on 01524 68071 where we'll be only more than happy to lend a hand.
For genuine Honda Stream parts and accessories, think Cox Motor parts.

Another cruise ship will leave the docks to cruise the seven seas
Papenburg Travel Blog› entry 6 of 12 › view all entries
March 8th, 2010 – by: aloneinthecrowd
The (river) Ems conveyance will take place next weekend. Either on 3/12 or 3/13 and thousands of guests will be expected to witness this spectacle. If I'm able to make it, I'll take some photos of the event.
If anybody can make it to Papenburg at the weekend I can promise you it's really worth to watch it. Towing such a giant throught the small river is crazy but the only possibility to let it cruise on the seven seas.
Edit: The conveyance will take place on thursday 3/11 already!!!

When we consult our home sellers, we tell them that they don't have to spend a lot of money to get big results. It's the little things that count, and many are very inexpensive.
Buyers respond to certain things in their subconscious mind that makes a home attractive to them. If you want your home to sell, it must say things to a buyer that make them excited enough to want to purchase it. And what do we want the house to say? "I'm the one!" "I'm updated and well cared for." "You can move right in and not have to spend any more money!"
Let's look at something minor like light switch covers. While certainly not a focal point of a home, if they are cracked, crooked or dirty, a buyer will be turned off. At less than $1 a piece it's as cheap a quick fix as you are going to get, and the impact is huge.
A home with new covers will be viewed as cleaner, crisper, and believe it or not – more updated! Just be sure to match the cover to the color of the actual switch. For some homes, you may want to spend just a few more dollars and change out the whole switch just to make sure they both match.
On that same note, here are a few other tips to help give the impression of an updated and well maintained home:
- Replace your old thermostat with a digital, programmable one. This not only makes your home more energy efficient, but gives the impression of updated systems.
- Replace vent covers that aren't at their best. Subtle signs of neglect leave a bad impression in a buyer's mind.
- Put away room fans or space heaters for showings – they only send a message that your HVAC system and/or insulation is ineffective.
- Replace your front door handle and/or lock. The front door impression sets the tone for the whole showing. A door that is difficult to unlock or open and a peeling, old handle do not bode well for what's to follow.
- Have your HVAC system serviced if you don't already do it annually. The fresh service sticker tells buyers that you take care of your home. At a minimum, change the filters. Dirty filters = neglect.
- I've said it before – but wash your windows inside and out. It makes everything in your home look better!
You don't necessarily have to put a lot of money into your home to make it look its best. Focusing on the little things will help get your home sold, and for more money.

It was another light airs day today and on board The Wave Muscat, we are now wondering if we are in the right place as this is pretty unusual weather for Kiel!
Even though we are in fourth place overall and still within punching distance of the podium, we came off the water a little despondent only to find that one of our centre boards was full of water, which is a bit of a schoolboy error.
The last few days we have been saying how the boat didn't feel like she was accelerating properly and it turns out there is a good reason for that which was 15 or 20 kilos of extra water on-board! So that's job number one tonight! That will make a difference tomorrow.
The last race today was in match racing style and as chance would have it we were pitted against our team-mates Oman Sail Masirah. It was so light everyone did the whole pre-start with the spinnaker up, just trying to get from one end to the other and keep moving!
I have sailed against Freddie (David Carr, bowman on Masirah) a lot and he knows what I say to try and intimidate the other teams.
So we were going along today and all I could hear from him was "higher and faster". I turned round and shouted: "No you're not mate, you're going much slower. There was some good banter on the water!
I would be keen for more match racing, but we need as many points as we can and the match racing is only worth one so we want the big nine pointers tomorrow!
Tomorrow the forecast is for gusts of about 25 knots – hopefully that will come in and wipe out the others! We did have a little chat before the last race with Masirah about whether we should do a little Omani sandwich off the start line on Ecover who seem to be all over this regatta but I am not sure that would go down so well!
We are at the half way point of the whole season, so you might find us taking some risks tomorrow which we wouldn't have taken in the first few days; that's what we thrive on.

The Institute of Historic Building Conservation
The mark of the conservation Professional
(PDF download of page)
IHBC and Course Recognition
This page carries guidance on procedures and standards required for courses to achieve recognition by IHBC.
Full recognition of a course by the Institute confirms that the course achieves a standard that should allow its graduates to satisfy IHBC membership criteria, where supplemented by an suitable balance of professional experience. Full recognition confirms that the course provides the aspiring conservation professional with the best possible support for attaining IHBC membership. Ordinarily applicants for IHBC membership without formal conservation training require a minimum of five years of relevant professional experience, but graduates of fully recognised courses need only have a minimum of two years of such experience.
Conservation courses that are fully recognised by the IHBC provide a unique route to professional activity in the field conservation. They provide an informed inter-disciplinary grounding in the understanding of conservation that no traditional built environment training programmes aspire to match. They give students the essential tools to develop a career in the sustainable conservation and management of a rare and valuable resource, our historic places.
The skills typically developed in the fully recognised courses are inter-disciplinary, environmentally-aware and people-based, focussing on managerial and advisory skills based on a direct experience of the conservation process. Such skills are increasingly sought after. Indeed the ConstructionSkills Sector Skills Council's research 'Altogether Stronger - Skills Needs Analysis for construction' (2004/5) has noted that
'Research with best practice construction has revealed that… managers… are weaker in the soft skills needed for successful partnering… There is a lack of understanding of the impact of the Government's wide-ranging sustainability agenda… [and] there is evidence of a growing concern as to the skills of both their existing staff and new recruits. These centre particularly on the technical skills associated with design and the management of projects'.
Procedure for Course Recognition
Course Leaders submit their course syllabus to the Institute for formal recognition. Further details are provided below.
The syllabus will be assessed in terms of the eight competences required for membership. (
Membership page
A summary of how those competences are addressed within the syllabus also must be submitted, together with any other relevant supporting information (e.g. membership of IHBC by contributors, etc.)
Where a course achieves recognition, publicity must clearly reflect the standing of the course with the IHBC, and copies (electronic or otherwise) of all core publicity should be passed to the Director.
We are very keen to support educational initiatives that help in the conservation of historic places, and all applications will be scrutinised and commented on in a constructive manner. Also, we recognise that all of the criteria for full membership cannot be totally reflected in course work, so Course Leaders are encouraged to interpret the competences in terms that appear most appropriate to the course or courses offered. If there are any queries on issues, IHBC is happy to advise, and any such matters should be passed to the Director in the first instance.
As we are reviewing the balance and standards of competences to be expected of students within a course programme, we will not ascribe to any course a guaranteed route to full IHBC membership. However, as our constitution recognises, in considering any application for full membership, special weight will be placed on how the balance of professional experience and educational coursework support the applicant's competences.
Where competences are not covered within a course to a standard reflecting that required for full membership, then students looking to become Full Members of the IHBC should be made aware of the need to gain those competences outside the course, for example either through their professional experience or suitable complementary training routes, such as CPD. Publicity for recognised courses must reflect the standing of the course as either 'satisfying all the competences' or list the specific competences it satisfies in accordance with the guidelines below. Prospective students should be directed to the IHBC web site which will also carry this information. Copies (electronic or otherwise) of core course information should be passed to the Director.
Offering Course Recognition: what we will do
There are two forms of course recognition operated by the IHBC:
Where a course will help a student achieve the full range of IHBC competences to a suitable standard we will recognise it as 'a course satisfying all the competences of the IHBC', that is:
'A Course that can provide the full range of training expected of an applicant for full IHBC membership and which, in conjunction with appropriate professional experience (minimum 2 years), should secure full membership of the IHBC.'
Where a course will help a student achieve specific IHBC competences to a suitable standard we will recognise it as 'a course satisfying the following competences of the IHBC', that is:
'A Course that can provide a part of the training expected of an applicant for full IHBC Membership and which, in conjunction with appropriate professional experience (minimum 2 years), will help secure full membership of the IHBC.
NB: Any course can only satisfy an applicant's requirements for IHBC membership when supplemented by appropriate professional experience
All recognised courses may be promoted as being 'Recognised by the IHBC' in publicity material, and our logo adopted. However the information on the course must make clear the precise areas of recognition, and adopt the corresponding phrasing above. In all publicity and information appropriate emphasis should be given to the fact that, in accordance with our constitution, a course can satisfy an individual's membership requirements only in conjunction with appropriate professional experience.
Changes in courses must be notified to us immediately for review, while each year a cross-section of recognised courses will be re-assessed.
Achieving Course Recognition by IHBC: what you must do
Send a copy of your syllabus and associated information (preferably electronically) to the Director (
, or post to IHBC, Jubilee House, High Street, Tisbury, Wiltshire SP3 6HA
Submit also an assessment of how you consider the course addresses the Institute's competences (both as regards strengths and weaknesses).
Please supply any additional information you think may support your case for recognition.
We hope to present a formal determination within three months of full submission, provided no issues need to be addressed. However where special circumstances apply, we reserve the right to alter this. Should you require 'fast-tracking' for a particular reason, please advise us accordingly.
Promoting Course Recognition: what you can do
Please do encourage your students to join the Institute as affiliates or as appropriate, and to become involved with our activities. Student rates are generally subsidised, and participation in IHBC events will enhance the credibility of any applicant for full membership.
In addition, course tutors or contributors who are not already members might like to consider applying for full or affiliate membership; affiliate membership in particular may often suit course leaders, while involvement with our operations could provide an appropriate route to full membership.
Finally, in determining who should contribute to your course-work, consideration should be given to achieving a balance of IHBC members (full, affiliate, or associate). The breadth of skills typical of IHBC members can help mitigate issues arising from more narrow or focused courses.
Any enquiries should be passed to the Director (

text: The J Matter release, "Proportions," introduces J Matter's rock-driven, harmony laced, multi-influenced style. The Sturge Records release offers a unique blend of traditional instrumentation. J Matter delivers a strong, pop-oriented vocal performance, supported by a complementary mix of groove based arrangements. "Proportions" successfully fuses a wide spectrum of styles, while maintaining a cohesive, yet distinctive, musical balance. The album swims through various musical currents, from light hearted acoustic toe tappers to soul stirring instrumental journeys, all with a common familiarity that is uniquely J Matter. Recorded in two Pacific Northwest locations, "Proportions" has captured the energy and technical prowess from J Matter's evolving live performances. J Matter mixes the soulful variations of Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, with the multi-stringed, rhythmic instrumentations of Keller Williams, melding into a fresh, bold musical statement.

Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Corrigan-Maguire denounced Western media for omitting serious Violations of International Law, committed by the Western Powers and Foreign Soldiers, who are fueling the Syria War for Geo-Strategic Purposes. One of the most grotesque examples for war propaganda is TIME Warner's TIME for Kids magazine. Putting aside questions about legitimacy, war-propaganda is illegal.
nsnbc : During the 13th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, Mairead Corrigan-Maguire, denounced Western media´s omissions.
Maguire stressed that she had traveled to Syria with a delegation last May, when she was able to witness that the reality about the "crisis in Syria" differs significantly from the image media convey to readers, listeners and viewers. Maguire said:
"During our visit, we witnessed that the civilian population is suffering the consequences of an invasion of men from many countries, which causes insecurity, death and destruction everywhere".
SEE: Public Schools Are Preparing America's Children For Life In A Police State
The Nobel Peace laureate and lifetime peace activist stressed that several foreign governments are training and financing foreign soldiers to be inserted into Syria, and she stressed that these countries de facto use of mercenaries violates the Charter of the United Nations. Maguire said:
"According to the Charter of the United Nations, it is illegal to train military forces aiming to overthrow legitimately elected governments. … The International Community should put pressure on those states that are fueling the terror to make them stop and attend the peace conference aimed at giving the country the right to shape its future without foreign interference".
Western mainstream media are not only omitting the fact that the governments of core NATO members USA, UK, France, Turkey, core GCC members Saudi Arabia, Qatar, as well as the post-coup government of Libya are waging a de facto, illegal war by using mercenaries.
Media are not only omitting the direct political and command responsibility of the involved countries political and military leadership in serious war crimes. The maybe most alarming aspect is that media systematically target children with pro-war propaganda.
Western media are involved in a pro-war propaganda campaign, targeting school children from as young as primary school age.
The TIME Warner owned TIME Magazine subsidiary "TIME for Kids" is one of the most clear-cut examples for the targeting of school children with pro-war propaganda.
Click here to enlarge above image
TIME for Kids is targeting U.S. American and Canadian school children and educational staff with propaganda about Syria while it claims to be adhering to National Education Standards.
A recent Time for Kids article on Syria is a stark example for how the media giant TIME Warner is targeting school children with a narrative about Syria that underlines Corrigan-Maguire's denunciation. In its article titled "What´s happening in Syria" TIME for Kids writes:
"Who is Syria´s Leader ? President Bashar Assad has ruled the country with an iron fist since 2000."
" Why are Syrians fighting ? In 2011, Syrian demonstrators spoke out against Assad and called for change. The government responded with violence. Rebel groups formed and fighting broke out. The rebels represent many groups, some of which could threaten the U.S. Interests. Obama has called for Assad to step down, but he refused.

It's about 3 weeks till Tucson... and I'm FREAKING OUT!
I've been acting all cool and collected (well, sort of), but I'm now in stressed out mode. I have NO idea what to make... how many of them to make, etc.
It's a little overwhelming, like the FIRST year I ever did the show because I have no idea what to expect. At Bead and Button, I can expect beadwork customers... kit people. I'm pretty sure that Tucson is NOT kit people, but I know I should take a few... and I'm OK on the kit-front.
It's the WHAT ELSE do I take that is overwhelming. Do I take focals, do I take more spacers/little beads... do I take BIG totem stuff??? It's a little daunting.
So, I'm following the color guidance of the Blackboard of Bossiness... just trying to keep some structure as I try to decide WHAT IN THE HECK TO MAKE!!!
tiny blah blah blah...
coffee - cinnamon dolce latte (thank you Aunt Janie!!)
music - a mix of stuff, but it ended with Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits which always puts me into a "GET IT DONE!" state of mind.

Hillocks Ocean Pod is situated at Hillocks Drive. Hillocks Drive embraces several kilometres of spectacular, rugged coastline, interspersed with quiet, sandy beaches and rock-pools. A photographer's delight and haven from the pressures of city and suburban living. Hillocks Drive has been a farming property for generations where grey kangaroos are seen at dusk and the Western Pygmy possums scamper over eucalypt blossom collecting nectar.
A sea world playground awaits you. Swim snorkel, paddle and dive amongst rock pools, rocky ledges and pristine open waters, or simply bask on the spectacular sandy beaches. Observe fish, whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. A popular area for surf and rock fishing on Yorke Peninsula, catching Salmon, Mulloway, Tommy Ruff, Sweep and Mullet to name just a few.
Hillocks is home to the rare and endangered Hooded Plover, Malleefowl, Western Whipbird and Diamond Fire Tail. An expansive haven for enthusiasts to view coastal and bushland birds.
Soaking winter rains bring the succession of native flowers and orchids. Visit Hillocks in spring to see wildflowers at their best including Wattle, Tempeltonia and Lilac. The area is home to 14 different native orchids and the unique carnivorous sundew.
Hillocks Drive is situated 6kms from the Foul Bay boat ramp, 14kms from Marion Bay and 16kms from Innes National Park

Mountains to Lake Isabellashared by dudizm on 2011-12-07
We had a great time on our way to the lake, beautiful panoramas on a perfect day light. Once arrived at the lake, I climbed to the top of a hill to shoot panoramic amazing views. the view was breathless... On my way back down the hill I dropped my sprocket, I saw the scene in my mind in 1/2 a second, slow motion, the camera opened straight after hitting the rock, and a the film totally exposed... I was ruined, I didn't want to process it but in the end I gave the roll with a bunch of others to the lab and only 3 pictures came out with strong leeks, but at least I have something to help me remember this journey!1 64

I'm a big fan of Cokin filters. Mostly because I was given so many and so many of their promotional booklets. They have all kinds of filters for doing multiple exposures. The one I used here is the Double Mask A 342. Two filters One with a black dot on clear resin. The other a All black filter is a little hole. In the booklets they recommend (in the 80's) you take a projector and photo graph slides you already had in order to create special effects. I just used a 32" screen.8 292

Does Culture Make a Difference?June 30, 2014 | By: Sean Murray
I came across this video that describes the work culture of Kabbage, an Atlanta-based business lender. It's strikingly different from the way many of the MCA and business lending companies in New York operate.
Though New York is well-known for its medieval dungeon-like office environments, especially for smaller companies just getting started, do it too long and you start to believe that offices are like that everywhere.
What do you think? Is the Kabbage work environment more conducive to productivity and growth?Last modified: June 30, 2014

To Whom It May Concern,
Let me start by saying, I have been a proud AT&T Wireless customer since before they were Cingular Wireless (over 10 years). So it was a natural conversion for my family to choose AT&T as our internet provider. Having said that, it pains me to have to contact you for reasons that aren't pleasant.
My husband and I just moved to Connecticut in November of 2013 from Washington DC. We had arranged for our internet (U-Verse) self install kit to be delivered to our new location before we moved in. The kit (included self-install modem) arrived to our new location. My husband requested the self-installation date to begin on November 19th so that we were sure to have internet when we moved in, since I work remotely from home and rely upon an internet connection for my job. We moved into our new house on November 25th.
Unfortunately, when we went to complete the self-installation, we were unsuccessful despite multiple attempts.
My husband attempted to call customer service on November 27th (as prompted on the computer screen installation instructions). He managed to get someone on the phone who informed him that they were in another country and would assist the best they could (outsourced help desk in either India or the Philipines). They proceeded to inform my husband that we could not complete the installation due to the lapse of our installation date. We were VERY upset with this news, since we were not previously informed that there was a time-limit to a self-installation. The person on the phone informed my husband that the next installation date would not be until December 11th! As you can only imagine, I was FURIOUS! My work depends upon an internet connection, since I work remotely from home! December 11th would NOT be an option for us. My husband asked for a sooner date and the person on the phone was unable to provide him with one. My husband then asked: "WHY do we need an install date, if we specifically asked for a 'self-installation' kit!" The person on the phone could not provide him with an answer. She said that she would have to speak with the IT department and they were currently unavailable because of the holiday. My husband asked to speak with a manager who could make a different decision. The person on the phone put my husband on hold and never returned to the phone (he was on hold for about 60 minutes or more). My husband then called back and got a different person on the phone. This person was unable to access our account, since the previous person put a 'lock' on the account. By this time it was late into the evening and we decided it would be best to call again on Friday (November 29th - the day after thanksgiving).
Friday, November 29th 2013, we called again. This time, we were told that we could move the installation date up to December 9th. This date was still completely UNACCEPTABLE! We were told that we could call again the next day to speak with someone in another department.
Sunday, December 1st 2013, we called again. This time, we were able to speak with a helpful young man who was able to make arrangements for our installation to occur the next day on December 2nd 2013 between 9-11am.
December 2nd came... at 11am, we still had NO internet. I tried again at 11:30 and still NO internet. At this point, I had already lost over 5 days of income!!!
I called customer service.
A young man answered the phone. I told him that the internet was still not working and that no one ever came by the house to perform an installation (NOTE: we were never told what the installation actually entailed, up until this point).
The young man explained to me that an 'installation' consisted of someone in the 'field' to go to a switchbox in Hartford and flipping a switch to turn our internet on. He further explained that previously, they were having issues with the switchbox, but those issues were since resolved. He then told me that indeed our switch was turned on shortly after 9am. I then told him, that despite the 'switch' being turned on, our internet will still NOT working. He told me that he would arrange to have a technician come to the house that same day to assess/trouble-shoot the situation and complete the installation process. I proceeded to tell him how much of an ordeal this has all been. Had we known that a technician would ultimately need to come to the house, we would've requested that from the beginning. Why didn't someone in AT&T offer this previously instead of giving us the 'runaround'? I let him know that I was EXTREMELY dissatisfied with my entire experience with AT&T U-Verse (this experience has been a complete contrast to my typical interractions with AT&T Wireless). I told him that I have lost valuable income due to the lack of an internet connection. I asked him if I could speak with a manager or someone who could possibly compensate us for our troubles, since at this point I have lost income and we were going to be billed for service that we DID NOT have! He told me that he would be able to grant any necessary compensation needed. He offered to provide us with a month of free service and he waived the technician fees (meaning, having a technician complete the installation would be of NO cost to us). I accepted the compensation offer. Shortly after our conversation, the technician arrived (around 2pm). He completed his installation process and our internet was up and running. He even did a speed test and our speed was just where it needed to be (both wirelessly and directly connected to the modem via ethernet cord).
Sadly, since we've received our connection, we have received MORE trouble with U-Verse. Below, I have itemized and described our outstanding issues that need remedy:
1. our bill seems to be including the technician fee from 12/2. According to the customer service agent I spoke with on Dec 2nd, this fee was supposed to be waived to compensate us for our troubles!!! Our bill is supposed to be $56.28/month and somehow it is now $188!----We are requesting that our bill be adjusted immediately to reverse the technician charges.
2. we DID NOT receive our first month of service free of charge!!! (same as above, the tech I spoke with on Dec 2nd said that because of our troubles our first month would be free as compensation).----We are requesting that we receive the free month of service promised. Although, at this point, we are now requesting to be compensated for 2 months free service (given that we still aren't satisfied and our service was supposed to start in November and it's now almost February).
3. the internet speed has since GREATLY diminished. I just performed a speed test and our download speed is 1.27Mbps and the upload speed is 0.86Mbps. I receive the same speed results when connected to the ethernet cord. This speed has made it impossible to complete certain tasks associated with my job, AGAIN I am losing income because of AT&T U-Verse. We purchased the Max Plus service, which means our speed should be at 18Mbps (NOT 1.27)!---- We are requesting a faster internet connection at no addtional cost to us. OR, please have someone assess why the connection is this slow.
We would like the 3 issues above addressed IMMEDIATELY! I would prefer to have a manager contact me directly via phone so that we can resolve our 3 issues in a timely and friendly fashion.
Posts that are very long are not always read completely, but yours was well written. This forum is peer-to-peer and most members are subscribers just like you. There are some AT&T employees who partcipate, but if you want to escalate your issue, then I would suggest that you contact AT&T Customer Care via private message. These are not the same people as the CS/TS reps you call--they are social media managers who can connect you with the right people to escalate your issue. Include your name, account number and your contact information. Watch the blue envelope at the top right of your screen--they usually reply within 1-2 business days.
Hello @allison-franks
Thank you for posting and welcome to the forums. I see that you've sent a message, thank you, and our social media care team is already working with you. Thank great, they're very good and I'm sure they'll be able to address your concerns.
