Muslim MPs who voted for marriage equality deserve to be praised. I don't know any Muslim people. Much of the media would have me believe that they are all extremists, because the media tends to show only the extremist side. Of course not all are extremists, just as all people in Northern Ireland were not extremist during the 'Troubles' when all that was shown in the media was terrorism. Muslims couldn't all be the same, just as gay people are not all the same. I am guessing though, that the extremist Muslims try to assert influence over all Muslims and many who are not extremists are afraid to speak out. That's why those Muslim MPs who voted for marriage equality deserve particular praise for refusing to bow to voices trying to direct them. If only the same could be said for those MPs of Christian faiths who bowed to extremist voices in their own religions by voting against equality, especially those MPs in the Labour and Lib-Dem parties who we thought we could rely upon.
"The most detailed opinion survey of British Muslims was carried out by Gallup. In their extensive polling, they found literally no British Muslims who would say homosexuality is "morally acceptable." Every one of the Muslims they polled objected to it. Even more worryingly, younger Muslims had more stridently anti-gay views than older Muslims."
Johann Hari writing for the Richard Dawkins Foundation
"Not a single British Muslim said homosexuality was morally acceptable, compared to 58 per cent of the general public who believed it was"
The Independent
The result of that Gallup survey is frightening! Yet, it doesn't reflect the views of the Muslim MPs who voted for marriage equality. If not a single British Muslim believes homosexuality to be "morally acceptable", then the pro-equality Muslim MPs are particularly brave and particularly deserve praise. Even though the Gallup survey contradicts me, I find it very difficult to believe that ALL Muslims outside the House of Commons are anti-gay. For a start, there are gay Muslims. And why would the views of Muslim MPs be so different from Muslims amongst the general public? Homosexuality may be 'morally unacceptable' within Muslim communities, but perhaps there is a belief amongst Muslim individuals that human rights and equality are important. Certainly, there are Muslim MPs who believe so.
Didn't a Tory MP (Burrowes) say after the vote for SSM that the "battle" had been lost but the "war" was not over. I'm not quite sure using over the top and bloody words like "war" and "battle" are very appropriate as well.Yet he doesn't get criticised,
I must admit the Muslims do get a lot of stick from the media yet when the Catholc bishops use over the top language about SSM then it's simply regarded as "religious" belief. There is definitely double standards going on here. They may not be calling for fatwas in the Catholic church but their language is pretty provacative.
I was quite pleased to see that only 1 Mulsim MP voted against SSM and that 60% of the catholic mps voted for it. Considering we were all being told that all "religious" people were against SSM it didn't show in the vote.
"The ban on same-sex marriage is discrimination. Discrimination is not an Islamic value"
Good luck with that, Peter.
It is not his fault. He is the product of British education which makes a man stupid. His schooling has made him notoriously monolingual Brit. I am sure he is unable to speak, read and write Urdu language and is unable to enjoy the beauty of Urdu literature and poetry. He finds himself cut off from his cultural heritage. I am sure he can recite the Holy Quran without understanding. Thanks to local Imam who has forced him to do so during his childhood.
What do you expect from such a Muslim?
Muslim schools are not only faith schools; they are more or less bilingual schools. Bilingual Muslim children need to learn and be well versed in Standard English to follow the National Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity.All Muslim children will learn and be well versed in Standard English and Quranic Arabic and at the same time they will learn and be well versed in one of the community language to keep in touch with their cultural roots and enjoy its beauty.
Cal reported:
"The most detailed opinion survey of British Muslims was carried out by Gallup. In their extensive polling, they found literally no British Muslims who would say homosexuality is "morally acceptable." Every one of the Muslims they polled objected to it. Even more worryingly, younger Muslims had more stridently anti-gay views than older Muslims."

This is surely highly significant and should be noted by those who present a contrary view.

Half would also be below average, but I don't think that's the type of diversity we're after. Just hire the best you can find, regardless of the color of their nose or their gonad status and we'll be fine.   more ›

Valve confirms the existence of employee handbook
Valve have revealed what is written in their employee handbook.
The 56-page guide which is given to new Valve employees outlines a business which isn't run by a corporate hierarchy but allows every employee to win and fail by their own decisions.
The book is constantly being updated by employees, both old and new, and is intended to give the impression that everybody in the company is equally important. A successful employee should follow a T-shaped model, meaning that they are an expert in one field and knowledgeable in others.
Valve's handbook also admits that new employees won't receive much help upon arriving, and are required to think fast on their feet in order to remain working at Valve. They also put a large amount of focus on hiring new talent.
You can read the PDF version of the handbook here.

Author Jocelynn Drake Character Interview and $40.00 Amazon Gift Card Contest LIVE Here!
Gage flopped down on the little sofa and looked around the brightly lit coffee shop buzzing with customers on the cool, fall Saturday. It was nearly eleven so the morning rush was over but the lunch rush had yet to kick in. The tattoo artist across from me looked a little bleary eyed but was starting to come around as he sipped his steaming mug of coffee.
"Don't!" I sharply snapped as he lifted his foot and extended it as if he was going to place it on the coffee table before him. The scuffed and dirty boot hung in the air, waiting. "Don't put that on the table or you'll be wearing my coffee."
A smirk grew on his face as he slowly placed his foot on the opposite knee. I relaxed, putting my own mug back on the coffee table between us. If anything, working with Gage was always entertaining and forced me to stay on my toes. It wasn't as dangerous as working with a fiery vampire, but I had a feeling it would soon reach that point.
"Have you been staying out of trouble?" I asked, sliding the digital recorder closer to him on the table. The noise was low enough that I didn't expect to have trouble recording him.
"If you're worried about material for a third book, I'm sure I can come up with something," he said with an evil grin.
"No doubt. I was just worried the Towers were still trying to remove your head."
Gage shrugged, pretending nonchalance toward the ruling powers of his world, but I knew better. Every one cowered at the thought of the witches and warlocks – me included.
"I'm sure there's plenty that want me dead, but they haven't gotten to me yet."
I shook my head. Yet was the key word. The Towers would prefer to have him dead following his escape, and I was worried they'd find a loophole in their agreement.
"Why did you want to meet here today? Tired of Low Town already?"
I had made a few visits recently to Low Town and it had been quite interesting as well as educational. "No, I wanted to talk about your world in general today, and I thought it might be easiest when you can easily compare it to my world."
Gage sat forward a little and looked around the coffee shop and bakery with fresh eyes. I watched him stare at the people as they walked in alone or in groups trailed by kids on electronic devices. A frown grew on his face.
"Thoughts?" I prompted.
"It's … boring," he said as he sat back.
"It's a coffee shop, not a night club," I said.
"I didn't say it to be mean." He shrugged as if struggling for the words. "It's all the same here. It's like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet, but everything is chicken. There's a lot of ways to cook chicken, but in the end, it's still just chicken."
"Because everyone is human here?"
"Yes." He dropped his foot on the floor and slid to the edge of his seat. "You know the next person to walk through the door will be human. So will the one after that. In Low Town, we've got coffee shops exactly like this, but it's filled with strange creatures. At any second, a goblin couple could walk through the door followed by a siren and a succubus. There would be flyers listing ingredients for everything because of all the insane food allergies of the different peoples, and warnings posted if a fey works in the kitchen. There seems to be less of a chance for something crazy to happen here."
"Low Town has a lot of potential craziness," I conceded. On my first visit to the city, I nearly ran into an ogre; met a troll, elf, and incubus; and was threatened by a warlock. There's no telling what might have happened if I stayed another hour. "So I'm guessing you wouldn't want to live here."
Gage laughed. "Live here? No. But I think it would be a nice place to vacation. No vampires hunting you. No worrying about packs of shifters because it's a full moon. No worrying about fey dusting your food and turning you into their slave."
"Yeah, I can see your point. This world may not be as exciting but at least I don't have to worry about some pissed off witch taking out half the city because her cat died." I chuckled. I could understand Gage's comments because I felt the same way about Low Town. It was an interesting place to visit, but it wasn't somewhere I wanted to live.
"True," Gage said on a sigh.
"I guess magic is what makes a world more interesting."
The tattoo artist sat forward and reached for his mug of coffee. "It's not the magic, but the people that make it interesting. Bronx is a troll and can't do any magic, but I've seen him take out two vampires with a handful of buttons. That isn't about magic. It's about knowing interesting people."
Watching Gage sink back into the sofa and contentedly drink his coffee, I found myself smiling. My writing had allowed me to cross into two worlds. In the end, it wasn't what they could do that made the adventure, but it was who they were that drew me back again and again.
Want to learn more about Gage and his city of Low Town? Check out his new series, The Asylum Tales. This new series includes the novellas: The Asylum Interviews: Bronx and The Asylum Interviews: Trixie. What's more, the first novel Angel's Ink will be out on October 16.
Got some questions for me about Gage, tattoos, and Low Town? Leave me a question and I'll be back around 5:30 pm Central Time to answer your questions.
Author Bio:
Love comes in many varied forms. There is the love of family, love of country, and love of chocolate. But for Jocelynn Drake, one truly treasured love is the love of a good story. This Midwestern native spends the majority of her time lost in the strong embrace of a good book. When she's not hammering away at her keyboard, frowning at her monitor, or curled up with a book, she can usually be found cuddling with her cats, Harley and Demona, walking her dog Max, or flinging curses at the TV while playing a video game. Outside of books, cats, and video games, she is completely enamored of Bruce Wayne, Ezio Auditore, travel, tattoos, explosions, fast cars, and Anthony Bourdain (but only when he's feeling really cranky).

Truman State University has again been recognized by Kiplinger's Personal Finance as one of the nation's best values in public education. Truman ranked No. 19, on Kiplinger's recently released list of the 100 "Best Values in Public Colleges." Truman is highlighted further in the main article as a school that has traditionally landed in the top third of the rankings each year due to strong academics and an affordable price. The new ranking places the University four spots higher than last year. In the past two years Truman has improved a combined 12 spots. Truman is the highest-rated Missouri school on Kiplinger's list and was the only university in the state to be included in the top 65.
— Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, February 2013
In the Washington Monthly September/October 2012 magazine, Truman State University is recognized as the No. 6 master's university in the nation. Truman is the only Missouri school listed in the top 50, and the only public Missouri school on the entire Top 100 Master's Universities list.
Washington Monthly bases its rankings on three criteria: social mobility, which gives colleges credit for enrolling low-income students and helping them earn degrees; research production, with particular emphasis on schools where undergraduates eventually earn Ph.D.s; and commitment to service. More information about the rankings can be found on the Washington Monthly website.
Truman State University is recognized as the No. 1 Public University in the Midwest Region by U.S. News & World Report's 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges." This recognition marks the 16th year Truman has been awarded this top ranking.
— U.S. News & World Report's 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges ."Truman is ranked No. 8 overall in the Midwest region among both private and public institutions.
— U.S. News & World Report's 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges ."Truman ranks No. 1 in the Midwest Region for 'Strong Commitment to Teaching,' which is based on surveys that identify schools where the faculty have an unusually strong commitment to undergraduate teaching.
— U.S. News & World Report's 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges"Truman is listed at No. 4 on the list of Great Schools, Great Prices in the midwest region. This best value ranking relates a school's academic quality, as indicated by its 2012 U.S. News Ranking, to the 2011-2012 academic year net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of need-based financial aid.
— U.S. News & World Report's 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges"Truman is the only Missouri school, and one of only 37 schools nationally, to be recognized this year by Colleges of Distinction in the Public Colleges of Distinction 2012-2013 eGuidebook. Schools were recognized for being one of the most teaching-centered and engaging public colleges in the country. www.collegesofdistinction.com.
— Colleges of DistinctionTruman is ranked the No. 1 Value in Public Colleges and Universities by Consumers Digest (2011).
Truman is recognized in "A Focus on Student Success" section, for "Study Abroad" and "Undergraduate Research/Creative Projects." Truman is continuously recognized as being one of the top master's universities for the number of students studying aboard and Truman's undergraduate research program is well known for the fact a large number of students are able to participate in research at the undergraduate level as opposed to waiting until graduate school.
— U.S. News & World Report's 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges"Truman State University is the nation's No. 2 best value in the public sector according to the Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features the school on its "Top 10 Best Value Public Colleges" ranking list and profiles the school in the 2008 edition of its book, "America's Best Value Colleges."
Truman is listed as one of 20 best public buys in the "Fiske Guide to Colleges 2013." The guide evaluates public and private colleges by cost and academics.

For the latest installment of the Ikea "Made by…" campaign, we teamed up with our pals at Ogilvy to give a drab white bedroom a good old-fashioned "spoon full of sugar." The stop motion animation style, with its early fantasy roots and slightly camp quality, felt perfectly suited to the spot's "snapping" theme, but (of course) we couldn't resist introducing some sophistication by throwing an elaborate pre-viz and some motion control, some stop motion plates, and extreme lighting shifts into the mix.
No one ever said in-camera effects were easy, but 3,628,800 stop motion frames later, we think it was well worth the hustle. (That's three grueling fourteen-hour days of shooting x 60 minutes x 60 seconds x 24 frames per second for all you math geeks.)
Big fluffy BNS hugs to everyone who made it happen.

How You Can Use Today's Headlines For Tomorrow's Success by Chris Makell - Aug, 2009 If you continue to read the press, which I only do to get a sense of what my clients may be exposed to; you can't miss all of the articles written about layoffs and survivors guilt.

Is It Ever Too Late? by Chris Makell - Aug, 2009 The prospect of coming to a point later in life where you look back to realize that "well that was interesting, but I wonder if..." is really sad to me. I'm not so pollyanna that I think everyone should just abandon what they're doing now and follow their dream. That's both reckless and stressful. Even those who look like they just "up and quit one day" really did have a build up or plan to that point. But that's not to say th... |

Powering Up Your Annual Performance Reviews by Abby Locke - Aug, 2009 Most professionals I know dislike the process of annual performance reviews as much as they dislike job interviews.

text: Golden pentagram on silver keyring. 5 pointed star (Also known as pentalpha or pentangle) The word pentagram comes from the Greek word pentagrammon, meaning 5 lines. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras believed that each of the five points of the Pentagram represent one of the five elements that make up mankind: fire, water, air, earth and psyche. In geometry, it is also connected to the Golden Ratio. As far back as 3000BC (Mesopotamia), many cultures have used the Pentagram to symbolise a wide variety of meanings, linking heaven, earth and humanity.

How to Cook a Family Christmas Dinner for under $200
If you're new here, you can subscribe to our Newsletter or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
If you can manage to cook a family Christmas dinner for under $200 it will depend a lot on the number of people you intend on feeding. It will also depend on where you live and your access to the ingredients at the right price. To show you all of the different ways you can keep your costs down, we have used an example of 14 couples and ten children, so that you can see that even a large family can enjoy a special Christmas dinner together, without spending more than $200.
It always helps if you share the cooking around the family with each bringing their own contribution but in this exercise all we are interested in is the total cost, no matter who pays. In this case we looked at a leg of ham or a large chicken, even a turkey if we could get one at the right price. We finished up with a 21 pound turkey because we got it for only $11. We felt it was a real bargain because that was what we were looking for in order to keep our final costs down. The next thing we agreed on was a green salad, brown rice, beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry relish, sweet potatoes and empanada (a pastry), chips and spicy salsa sauce, Christmas cake and pie. For drinks we settled on some wine for the adults and fizzy drinks for the kids.
Not all that many homes are set up for a dinner party of 24 people so we put aside enough money to hire three six foot long fold up tables and sixteen extra chairs. To save somebody having to set the table and clean up so much after we went for a buffet style of dinner serving. We also purchased some paper plates as well as cheap plastic tablecloths and paper napkins. To make it look good we decorated the table with some red and white baubles and little plastic Christmas trees.
Home Made is the Way to go in Keeping Costs Down
We decided that the best way to keep costs to a minimum would be to home-make all the food but as we couldn't do that with the wine we went for bargain prices in this area. Everybody was invited to help and everybody was only too pleased to get involved, including the kids, as we had learned from past experience that such a day can become quite overbearing if left to one person.
The day went well, everybody was well fed and little washing up was needed at the finish. We weren't out of pocket and we came in on budget. To obtain a similar dinner at a restaurant we would have had to pay the best part of $100 a head. With the prices of meals in most restaurants rising around Christmas time, it would probably have been a lot more. We even had enough leftovers for the dog.
To itemise our total spending for the day, here is a breakdown of all our expenses:
* Tables and chair hire = $50.
* Plastic table cloths = $3.
* Paper plates and plastic cups = $12.
* Turkey = $11.
* Green bean casserole = $15.
* Green salad = $5.
* Beans = $3.
* Rice = $5.
* Sweet potatoes = $5.
* Empanadas = $10.
* Stuffing = $4.
* Chips and salsa = $8.
* Mashed potatoes = $6.
* Gravy = $1.
* Cake = $10.
* Pie = $10.
* Wine = $36.
* Soft drink = $6
* Total cost = $200.
Remember we made up all this food ourselves and didn't buy anything pre-made from a store. This includes the soft drinks for the children, the pies and the Christmas cake itself. It shows what can be done if everybody pitches in and helps. Nobody was out of pocket for any significant amount of money and we all had one of the best Christmases ever.
Christmas is the one time of the year when we all love to get together to enjoy each other's company, it need not be a costly occasion if you plan it right. In this case we all got out of it at just $8.33 a head plus a little work. It proved to us that with a little discipline it can be done and it could have been lower if we grew our own vegetables. The secret was in not buying any processed foods off the shelf at a supermarket. Even though you sometimes feel that processed foods are a bargain and individually they appear cheaper, we proved with this experiment that by buying raw materials and cooking them up ourselves we were able to save a lot of money.
The fact that we succeeded in feeding 24 people a good hearty meal for $200 led us to plan a lot more cooperation in the future in other ways of saving money on our food. We now make our own jams and preserve fruit as it comes into season. There is enough fertile land in the backyards of our homes where we grow a variety of vegetables. Instead of overdoing it we decide who grows what and then we will share or swap any excess production among us. It looks like we had quite an eventful Christmas last year because this year we had to buy very little at the stores as we grew most of the ingredients among ourselves, and preserved the rest when the fruit was at its cheapest during the year.

In late 2005 Michael Chertoff, the new secretary of the Homeland Security Department, launched the "Secure Border Initiative" as the umbrella program for border control and immigration enforcement. The announced goal of SBI, described as "a comprehensive multiyear plan to secure America's borders and reduce illegal migration," was to gain "operational control of both the northern and southern borders within five years."
Now, in response to calls for more border security by region politicians and fears of a spillover of Mexico's drug-related violence, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano has announced a renewed operational focus on Southwest border security. The new initiative, Secretary Napolitano said that through the Operation Stonegarden DHS will "enhance state, local and tribal law enforcement operations and assets along the border."
Operation Stonegarden is a federal assistance program ($60 million in 2009) for local law enforcement that is limited to borderland counties. The assistance is not general funding but for additional personnel and overtime pay for homeland security operations. A major problem, as in all DHS federal/local programs, is that funding is not accompanied with internal regulations specifying exactly what the homeland security funds can be used for.
As a result, Operation Stonegarden recipients can use DHS' own broad mission – "protecting nation against dangerous good and people" – to justify their own extra expenses picking local drug users and illegal immigrants. Under Operation Stonegarden, dangerous people are defined as "criminal aliens" but criminal aliens include all illegal immigrants, according to the operational contract. Similarly, all illegal drugs are included in the search for "dangerous drugs."
Since the program was initiated shortly after the DHS's creation, the rationale for the program has evolved – from a "first-responder" to terrorism program to a border security program focused on drugs and illegal immigrants. Officially it is a program of DHS's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide grants for "designated localities to enhance cooperation and coordination among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in a joint mission to secure the United States borders along routes of ingress…" (see link below article for source document)
The program elapsed in 2005 but was renewed in 2006 under DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff. Writing in HS Today, a securities industry magazine, Joshua Filler, the original director of DHS's local coordination officer, applauded the relaunching of the operation, pointing to the example of funding in Maine to explain its counterterrorism objective.
Filler, now the CEO of Filler Security Strategies, wrote:
"While Maine itself isn't likely to be the target of a terrorist attack or other catastrophic event, it could be used as an infiltration point or launching pad by terrorists to strike other parts of the US—in fact, that's essentially what happened on 9/11. If Maine and small northern border states are to receive federal funds, which they should, this is one of the best uses of those funds since it will have the biggest antiterrorist impact with a limited budgetary impact,"
Operation Stonegarden is no longer couched in counterterrorism rhetoric. Basically, it functions as one of the many ICE and Border Patrol programs aimed at increasing cooperation with local police forces, with program recipients being limited to borderland law enforcement agencies. As such, complaints about Operation Stonegarden reflect the kind of criticism leveled against such ICE programs as Operation Community Shield, the 287(g) Program, and Secure Communities, namely that involving local police in immigration enforcement leads to racial profiling and increasing community distrust of law enforcement.
The sheriffs' departments that receive Operation Stonegarden funding don't so much focus on the "routes of ingress" into the United States as on the immigrants and illegal drug users in their own communities.
This was the case in Otero County, in southeastern New Mexico, where sheriff deputies used the Stonegarden grant to hunt for illegal immigrants in the Chaparral, a largely Latino settlement on the edge of El Paso. In September 2008 a
In addition to receiving Operation Stonegarden funding, Otero County is cashing in on the immigrant crackdown boom by way of two county-owned prisons that house ICE and U.S. Marshall Service detainees. Both are operated by Management & Training Corporation, a Utah-based private prison firm. While the founding premise of Operation Stonegarden was that the borderlands – north and south – were the gateway regions for potential terrorists and therefore needed increased vigilance, the practice of involving local police has focused DHS resources on borderland residents at least as much as transients. The program is also controversial in the northern borderlands, where local police have become increasingly involved in the Border Patrol's crackdown on immigrants and illegal drugs. In Washington State, a county sheriff has declined Stonegarden funding, saying that immigration law enforcement is not a public safety priority. The sheriff in Jefferson County in Washington, near the northern border, declined to apply for a Stonegarden grant in 2009. Sheriff Michael Brasfield complained that the language in the grant application that described undocumented immigrants as "criminal" was insensitive and felt the overall document was unacceptable. "Unfortunately, the inclusion of language describing illegal aliens as 'criminal aliens' that 'are drawn here by criminal activities', coupled with the requirement participating agencies (described as 'Friendly Forces') agree to detain illegal aliens and turn them over to the Border Patrol, makes the overall document unacceptable," Brasfield wrote in his Jan. 12 letter. Echoing the common complaint that Border Patrol and local police in involved in joint operations are intruding into the lives of community members in the Bellingham, Washington area, activist Rosalinda Guillen told a local TV station, "It's almost like they're looking for something to do and we're the targets." *** Tom Barry directs the TransBorder Project of the Americas Program (www.americaspolicy.org) at the Center for International Policy in Washington, DC.

Okay ladies- who is here today? Check in with what's going on in your life.
I feel like we've lost a little of the community feeling on this board. I take some of the blame since I haven't been around much myself, but I'm not the only one! I promise to be better after January 8th.
We are in a crazy rush to get everything ready for tonight. We open all of our presents after we get home from Mass tonight. I am super excited because MH and I both have the whole week off together.
Later this week, we are going to Zoolights which is one of my favorite family traditions.
Merry Christmas, Bugs!
Tonight is "midnight" mass (carols start at 10:30 and the service is over by midnight, lol) and then DH and I have tomorrow/Wednesday off together. Wednesday is our new RE appt (eek) and then we're leaving on Saturday for a week at Disney World!! I can't wait.

I'm so glad you found a new RE! I have nothing nice to say about your trip because I am totally jealous.
aragosta:I'm here! I was at work but I feel a little under the weather so I came home. I am going to try and sleep this off. Then off to church and spending the night at DH's family's house! Woo! Merry Christmas everyone :)
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone! I'm here, but only for a little while. One of my girls woke up in the middle of the night screaming and pulling on her ear, took her to urgent care and was there for most of the morning to find out yes it's an ear infection and get her some medicine.
Now they're both napping and my husband and I are finishing up last minute things that need to come with us to my parents tonight. Luckily the girls won't open presents from Santa till morning, so we'll have time when we get home!

BA in Fashion Design and Pattern Making/Draping
In September 2011 ESMOD Berlin launched its 3-year Bachelor course in English for the first time. As the first University of Art for Fashion in Berlin to offer such a beneficial language choice for students, as well as with its worldwide network of schools, ESMOD Berlin provides an excellent international environment for students aiming to work within and make their mark upon the fashion industry.
The Bachelor of Arts focuses on both fashion design and pattern making/draping and covers in detail the practical skills involved in putting together a professional collection, as well as the theory behind fashion, textiles, art and culture. The course enables students to develop essential practical skills as well as professionalism and confidence through a compulsory practical internship at the end of both the first and second academic years. ESMOD Berlin also focuses intensely on languages, being the only fashion institution in Germany to provide their students with the option of learning Chinese and French, preparing students adequately for international career prospects.
Creation and creativity is dreaming up something no one has ever thought of or made before. At ESMOD Berlin you will acquire the fundamental skills, and apply them to ultimately establish your own sense of fashion and style. Students gain excellent command of ideas, theory, designs, fabrics, techniques, and colours and aspire to amaze even the professionals of the fashion industry with their unique and forward thinking way of expressing fashion. With partner schools in such fashion capitals as Tokyo and Paris, students are encouraged to take part in exchanges during the course in order to gain international experience and develop networks and industry contacts abroad.

The Boombot is the result of a collaboration with toy customization company Delicious Drips and vinyl toy manufacturer, Urban Warfair. Together they have merged to start a new venture called Boombotix.
How To
We're gonna tell you how you can make your own prototype right here and get bumpin'.
In order to make your own Boombot, you're gonna need about $40 in materials, which is not bad. You will also need a soldering iron and a drill with various size bits. You will need a 1.75mm drill bit and a 2.2mm drill bit. You will also need something to cut through vinyl. A dremel with a rotary tool, a saw, or a razor will work. You will also want a grind wheel or a dremel to shape plastic.
Here's what you need:
1. DIY Skully
2. Philips Portable Speaker System
3. You need 3/8" Thick acrylic that's about 4"x4", and a 1/2" thick piece of plastic that's around 1/2"x2" (check Tap Plastics)
4. 2mm threaded screws that are about 6mm long (any hardware store)
Order your own Customized Boombot
IF you're too lazy to make your own, then check out the link below to see how you can get your own SkullyBoom. The new site we've built allows you to customize your own, so HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!
For design templates, you can also check out the Boombotix design templates
Step 1: Off with His Head
2. Next, you want to cut out his big eye. Using the heat gun and a razor will work fine for this part. It doesn't even have to be neat, but you just wanna be able to leave a little bit of lip around the edge (approximately 1/4" should be fine). You'll use the lip to epoxy the speaker in later.
3. While we're here, pull out those Philips speakers and take those suckers apart. There are three screws on each speaker housing. Once they're open, you remove another three screws and then pry the speaker out of the housing. Test that they fit in the eye. You will notice that there is a little notch on the speaker. Drill the corner of the eye socket to fit this notch.

Hotels Pay You to Stay This Summer (Sort Of)
May 14th, 2012 by Liz Webber
We've all read the doom and gloom surveys: Americans are less likely to travel this summer because of the high price of gas, the state of the economy, or maybe because Venus is in retrograde (can't be too careful with your horoscope). It seems hotels have read these surveys, too, and have devised ways to entice you to stay by footing part of your gas bill or even doling out cold hard cash.
Perhaps the most generous offer comes from InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG), which will give you a $75 prepaid MasterCard for every stay of two consecutive weekend nights (Friday-Sunday) through September 3. You will have to wait 6-8 weeks to receive the gift card, but the deal applies to all IHG brands, from InterContinental to Holiday Inn.

MJ Kim
Relations between Kings of Leon brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and cousin Matthew Followill have been rocky ever since singer Caleb suffered a meltdown in the middle of a concert in Dallas last year. Bassist Jared called Caleb out both from the stage and on Twitter, saying that "There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed." Then Hanson, fellow brothers in rock arms, called the band out for their bad attitude.

Candidates eye Port Allen hiring
PORT ALLEN — Both candidates facing Mayor Roger Bergeron in the Nov. 6 primary election agree the key to re-establishing integrity to Port Allen city government lies in revamping the city's employment practices.
Retired teacher Kirby Anderson, a Democrat, called for setting up a human resources department to assure more accountability in personnel matters.
ExxonMobil analyst Demetric "Deedy" Slaughter, also a Democrat, said getting a better handle on the city's hiring and firing practices would dampen some of the tension arising from this summer's hiring of a new chief administrative officer.
The central figure in the dispute, Adrian Genre, a former Port Allen police chief, was appointed CAO in June with Bergeron's endorsement and got the job on a 3-2 City Council vote.
Genre's hiring led to residents accusing Bergeron of racism and split the council's vote along racial lines.
Genre's appointment was controversial because he is a convicted felon who pleaded guilty while still police chief to perjury in a federal civil-rights lawsuit against the city and the Police Department.
Genre admitted to lying in a deposition about the department's hiring practices in a lawsuit that claimed only black people were given a written test during the Police Department's interview process. Genre was forced to resign as chief in August 2000.
"It seems to have brought a little racial tension into the community," Slaughter, 50, said, referring to Genre's hiring. "I have received feedback from whites and blacks that want to see that settled down or be removed."
Anderson, 57, said residents now want to see more "equal opportunity" in the city's hiring practices after the ordeal involving hiring Genre as CAO.
"People don't forget things like that," Anderson said. "That didn't just bring a bad light down on Port Allen, that made national news as well. Port Allen was the joke of the area because of the decisions that were made."
Genre's hiring is the only issue drawing fire from Bergeron's opponents regarding his nearly one-year tenure as mayor.
Bergeron, 64, a Democrat who retired from his job as West Baton Rouge Parish revenue director, won a special election last November to succeed former Mayor Derek Lewis, who resigned in June 2011 facing federal prison time for his involvement in a bribery-racketeering scandal.
Bergeron said in response to his opponents' criticism of his handling of the Genre issue that while he understands the community's concerns, he wants people to know Genre already has proven to be "more than competent" as CAO during the three months he's been on the job.
"I ask that people keep in mind that the job was filled competitively," Bergeron said. "If you look at his history before the incident and after the incident, there is nothing to worry about — particularly in the black community.
"If you take away that, then I ask my opponents: What would you do differently to run the city?"
On other issues, Anderson said he wants to bridge the gap between schools and the community by implementing a program encouraging more citizen participation in the local school system.
Slaughter, 50, said she hopes, if elected, to network with other mayors to learn how they've been able to move their cities forward.
Bergeron said, if re-elected, he would tackle such issues as making curbside recycling feasible for the city, settling the looming battle over distribution of fire sales tax revenue and pushing for completion of the city's master plan.
"I call it the People's Project," he said of the master plan project. "It's a chance for the public to express their vision of what they think the city should look like in the next 15 years."

Intention-to-treat analysis in cluster randomized trials with noncompliance.
Stat Med. 2008; (27): 5565-77
In cluster randomized trials (CRTs), individuals belonging to the same cluster are very likely to resemble one another, not only in terms of outcomes but also in terms of treatment compliance behavior. Although the impact of resemblance in outcomes is well acknowledged, little attention has been given to the possible impact of resemblance in compliance behavior. This study defines compliance intraclass correlation as the level of resemblance in compliance behavior among individuals within clusters. On the basis of Monte Carlo simulations, it is demonstrated how compliance intraclass correlation affects power to detect intention-to-treat (ITT) effect in the CRT setting. As a way of improving power to detect ITT effect in CRTs accompanied by noncompliance, this study employs an estimation method, where ITT effect estimates are obtained based on compliance-type-specific treatment effect estimates. A multilevel mixture analysis using an ML-EM estimation method is used for this estimation.

An electric rear locker was one of the many cool things Ford unveiled last week on the 2011 Super Duty. This locker is a pretty exciting additon to the truck and we wanted to know more about availability, so we gave the folks over at Ford a shout.
They promptly answered our flurry of questions. Here's the deal:
The electric locker will be available as a stand-alone option on single rear wheel (SRW) Super Dutys. The limited-slip differential will no longer be available on SRW models. The electric locker is not available on dual rear wheel (DRW) models. DRW models will continue to use the limited-slip.
If you have a hankerin' for the FX4 package, the electric locker is a required option, as are all-terrain tires. Speaking of the FX4 package, it will include Rancho shocks, skidplates for the transfer case and fuel tanks, Hill Descent Control (which is specific to SRW FX4 package-vehicles), and "FX4 Off-Road" box decals.
Ford says that the electric locker is functional in all modes (4x2, 4x4 high-range and 4x4 low-range). It will have a feature that disengages the locker at speeds above 25 mph.
So there you have it.

rsrandr, I think you may be right but I'm really surprised since she has never had an allergy in her life! I've done nor given her nothing different from usual. The only thing I can think of is that the air outside is getting so polluted that its affecting her when I take her out for her walks. how sad that life has come to this.
It sounds to me like your terrier has allergies. I have a little Japanese Chin mix who has watery eyes all the time. My vet said it's allergies. I use a cotton ball moistened with warm water to wipe her eyes.
