Review : Nadja - When I See the Sun Always Shines on TV
2008 was Nadja's year... in this little corner of the world. In a year of ever-decreasing physical purchases, and ever-increasing optimism about music-as-art (Yes, really), Nadja were one of a handful of bands who gave me the thrill of tracking down some beautifully – or charmingly – packaged records, and leafing through import magazines (Under the Radar, Skyscraper) for the interviews that first brought them to my attention. Hey, I even bought the T-shirt. Maybe it's the idea of a male-female duo playing extreme music together; maybe it's the sense of post-rock having reached a plateau; or maybe this is just the best development in (ambient) music since Cluster met Eno... or (in metal) since The Melvins decided they really hate their audience. Briefly, Nadja carve out great slabs of sound, throbbing and trudging to melodic resolution with incredible slowness, over an entire side of vinyl at a time; you want to say "tectonic" and "chthonian" but not "glacial" because the fuzz-bass is so warm, rising through your feet, and the layered drones are so disorienting. In 2008, the Canadian duo re-worked their early CD-Rs with a drummer, gushed out some collaborations (in rust, scab, or verdigris sleeved vinyl), produced an album of manipulated Classical music (in the style of Eno's Discreet Music or Bazinski's Disintegration Loops), and most importantly, tied one hand behind their backs and still produced a masterpiece of ambient-metal, namely Desire in Uneasiness, which sees both Aidan and Leah playing bass, without a six-string in sight....full text
Incroyable album de covers, mais dont le choix des groupes n'est finalement pas si étonnant que ça quand on connait bien Nadja héhé. Par contre quel résultat! 01. Only Shallow (My Bloody Valentine cover)
02. Pea (Codeine cover)
03. No Cure For The Lonely (Swans cover)
04. Dead Skin Mask (Slayer cover)
05. The Sun Always Shines On TV (A-ha cover)
06. Needle In The Hay (Elliott Smith cover)
07. Long Dark Twenties (Kids In The Hall cover)
08. Faith (The Cure cover)
ps: il me semble bien que le titre de l'album "when i see the sun always shines on tv" est un passage du morceau Pea de Codeine, apres je peux me tromper....full text

Another jeweler, another Big Game, and another big promotion. A jeweler in Baltimore is trying do drum up some business with the Ravens playing against the 49ers in next Sunday's Super Bowl, and he is using a ploy that we saw earlier in college football. The owner of Maryland jewler Saxon's Diamond Centers, is willing to refund up to $5000 on any purchase made between Saturday and the Super Bowl if the Ravens happen to hold the 49ers scoreless in Super Bowl XLVII. The odds of this aren't all to great for those willing to drop that kinda of cash. But heck, if you are planning on buying something over the next week, anyway, it is definitely a deal worth risking. There have been 46 Super Bowls played, and never has their been a shutout. The lowest point total is held by the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI, when they only managed 3 points in their loss to the Cowboys. Only 7 teams have been held to 7 points or less. The Minnesota Vikings were held to that standard 3 of the times. For what it is worth, the 49ers are on the board with the 26 points for [...]

I have seldom awarded a game a higher overall score than it earned in the 'gameplay' category, but Jedi Alliance is one rare example whose production values actually counterbalance some of the gameplay shortcomings.
The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance is an impressive feat on DS, and it's also an entertaining, often thrilling adventure. Though the gameplay has a few minor issues and it doesn't tread any new ground, the presentation ties everything together to make for an experience that shouldn't be missed by fans of this seminal, science-fiction franchise.
If you sleep on Star Wars sheets, give it a try. If not, pretend it doesn't exist – just like the animated movie.
The 3D graphics may be blocky, but the clean design ensures that you'll always know what's going on. There are also plenty of bonuses to unlock ranging from concept art to character models to cheats.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance provides everything required for highly polished Star Wars experience, but there's not quite enough depth for a real Jedi adventure.
The story is also new and not half bad, revolving around the theft of a shipment of lightsaber crystals and a shadowy cabal of force-using goth mommas called the Nightsisters.
Most of the game's problems have to do with the action elements. [Holiday 2008, p.86]
Despite having a strong story, solid visuals and great implementation of voiced dialogue, Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance ultimately falls short in gameplay.
There's very little actual game. [Feb 2009, p.77]
For atmosphere and an authentic Star Wars feel (Clone Wars or otherwise), Jedi Alliance does a good fan service. The gameplay elements aren't very imaginative or even especially enjoyable when taken in isolation, but overall there are enough different challenges spread out across each level that it's much less of an issue than in might have been.

So, we just had our ultrasound this week at 17.5 weeks. It's a baby GIRL!! BUT, when I showed the picture to some of my Mom friends they were questioning whether it looked like maybe it could be boy....
Any thoughts?
stephzrn:We are having a boy and believe me his boy parts were very noticeable. I think that's a girl :-)
Same here! This is boy #2 for us and on both U/Ss, the parts were very definitive. That looks like a girl to me. :)
So I had my a/s done about 17.5 weeks as well with a boy...here is our money shot. Hopefully this helps ease your mind :)
I think the little nub is what is throwing you (&/or your mom's friends) off. There is a photo of a 17 week old's girl parts on this website:
If you scroll down to it, you will see there is still a sizable nub on 17 week girl fetuses.

Wonderful d'Uccles!
Pros: Super sweet, love to cuddle, friendly, and cute.
Cons: Like to roost in trees, not the greatest layers, hard to show because of feathered legs.
I love this breed! I would definitely recommend them for pet chickens! There one of the few breeds of chickens that like to cuddle. I also love them because there soooo cute!! I'm not the biggest fan of the feathered legs because it's hard to show those kind of birds, there not the greatest layers, and they like to roost in trees.

Consider the following situation. You have to write a plugin for some
already existing program (and that program uses dlopen() on UN*X-like
systems and something appropriate on Windoze and etc to load the shared
library). Are you going to persuade the author to `consider they system

A few high quality experiences...(with shopping)
In the morning we visited a real old fashion flea market. Ate home-made lunch in a little park, and went to Macey's again. This time in Brooklyn. I managed to not think about photography, except at the Argentinian restaurant El Amacen - which was not quite up to expectations but had a very cosy ...
So this is the end!
... to the dining hall for dinner, then had to go and get ready for the staff show, Thirteen, that we were performing that night. The staff show went well considering we had only been rehearsing for one week, and was great fun to be a part of. Once the staff show was over and all the kids were in bed we all headed to a house party down the road, where a massive bonfire had been built and everyone chilled out in the garden having a couple of drinks.

Hurricane Sandy had done some major damage down there, Battery park is still undergoing restorative work. Walked past the ...
Day one in New York - a traveling success! WE made a list of everything Nicole had to see - we saw it all - although not as successfully as we should have considering we walked past Bryant Park 5 times. Better planning for the next city.

Day 32 - New York City
... think anything could beat going along to Central Park for lunch. Not long after we ended up at Madison Square Park (not the entertainment centre) and had a look at the flatiron Building.

Marketing Trends: Nearly 90% of Ad Agencies Are Interested in Social Media and Online Video, But a Majority Question the Value..
Originally appearing in Bulldog Reporter
A recent survey of advertising agencies found that while social media and streaming/online video were major areas of focus for advertisers in the fourth quarter of 2013, the majority of agencies are unsure of the value these channels are delivering to clients. The survey, conducted by STRATA, a leader in media buying and selling software, found that more than 87% of agencies polled were interested in using social media in client campaigns, while 98% said they were either more interested or equally as interested in streaming/online video than they were a year ago. Given all the new channels available to agencies, it's not surprising that media mix was cited as the second largest concern for agencies, and up 20% since last quarter.
Facebook is still the dominant social media channel for advertisers with 81% of respondents indicating they would use Facebook in their clients' campaigns. On Facebook, respondents were most likely to buy Standard External Website Ads (33%), Promoted Posts (31%) and Page Post Ads (31%). Other popular social channels for agencies include YouTube (57%) and Twitter (48%). Agencies also indicated a big shift in sentiment towards Pinterest, as 35% said they would use the channel, up from just 22% one year ago. LinkedIn is also gaining popularity with agencies, as 33% of agencies indicated they would consider using it in clients' campaigns. This represents an increase of 56% since last year.

Little Governors' is intimate in character, with just 17 luxury en-suite tents tucked around a large watering hole that teems with both birds and wildlife. The camp is approached by a boat ride across the Mara River, then an escorted walk through the riverine forest. Vehicles are left on the far river bank, and the camp is therefore quiet and undisturbed.
The guest tents at Little Governors have recently been renovated. Each one is spacious with an en-suite bathroom, and now they have polished wooden decks with large verandas to enable guests to relax and enjoy the panorama of animals visiting the watering hole in front.
Breakfast and lunch are served in the open air, and the resident family of warthogs frequently wander amongst the tables. Since all Governors' properties are unfenced and in the heart of the Reserve, elephants may also stroll past. In the evening a warming log fire burns in front of the Bar Tent, and dinner is served in the nearby Dining Tent.
The following excursions are available from all Governors' Camp properties in the Masai Mara:
Free Night Offer: stay 4 nights for the price of 3. Or combine this property with Loldia House (Lake Naivasha) for 7 nights in total and pay for 5 nights (1 free night at Loldia House and 1 free night here). Valid for stays completed within 1 Jan to 30 Jun & 1 Nov to 15 Dec 2014. (Park fees payable for free nights).
Child Stays Free: stay 2 nights at Loldia House (Lake Naivasha) and minimum 3 nights at Governors Camp (or Little Governors Camp) and one child is accommodated free (when sharing with 2 adults). Flight to be booked via Gamewatchers on Governors Aviation and park fees payable. Valid for stays between 1 Jan to 30 Jun & 1 Nov to 15 Dec 2014.

Just picked up growler today 9% alcohol 71 IBU's. Pours black little highlights when held to the light. Nice frothy brown head made up of small bubbles that falls slow and leaves tons of lace everywhere, on an aggressive pour.
Aroma is nice roasted malts loaded with big stout chocolates, lots of smooth chocolate notes. Underlying coffee notes with light citrus hop hints.
Taste is roasted goodness with nice sweet chocolate notes that last for while before moving to lightly bitter roasted coffee notes that linger into grapefruit rind like bitterness with touches of pine. Finish lingers forever a nice touch. An enjoyable stout defiantly hitting the spot tonight.
Mouthfeel is is smooth with good mellow carbonation, might be a touch to light for big stout but very enjoyable.
Overall finding it very enjoyable, favorable malty goodness with a good dose of hops in the finish

Theology of Mission & Evagelism
Instructor: Dr. Bonnie Sue Lewis
3 credits; letter grade only; core requirement for M.Div.
This is the first of three required mission/evangelism courses for fulfillment of the M.Div. It is 3 credits, letter grade only. This course orients mission in the very heart of our missional God and as the very essence of the Church and of every local congregation. It will focus on the Triune God as a missionary God, the congregation as hermeneutic of the Gospel, and on changing paradigms of mission that influence how we do evangelism in today's post-modern, post-Christendom, pluralistic society. Thus, evangelism and mission are grounded in a missiological ecclesiology.
Foundations of Christian Worship
Instructor: Dr. Tim Slemmons
3 credits; Letter Grade OnlyPrerequisites: None
This course serves as an introductory study of the history, theology, and practice of Christian worship. Attention will be given to biblical, theological, historical, and practical foundations of worship. Within these larger categories of worship, the course will also introduce topics of space, language, and time.

The aim of the second day's breakout groups was to identify theoretical frameworks that
might guide research to answer questions raised the day before. Attendees in the four randomly
assigned groups were asked to
identify challenges,
characterize how they are manifested in the target populations,
examine underlying mechanisms and remediation strategies, and
provide models of innovative and successful approaches to overcoming the challenges.
Breakout group participants were invited to provide a graphical representation of their
proposed frameworks.
Breakout Group 2A
This group developed a graphic of a circle with four quadrants corresponding to the
major areas of inquiry and showing relevant theoretical frameworks (Figure 4). The group
members identified a challenge—lack of culturally responsive faculty (Quadrant 1)—to illustrate
application of the framework to the academic performance of minority males at the
undergraduate level. The challenge is manifested by toxic school cultures that marginalize
minority males (Quadrant 2). The underlying mechanisms of the challenge include social
conformity and lack of incentives for change, and possible remediation strategies are faculty
training and implementation of equity audits (Quadrant 3). Two models to address the challenge
are replication of support structures shown to be effective at HBCUs and the use of culturally
responsive activities (e.g., equity scorecards) to incentivize change (Quadrant 4).

This group developed a table with four rows corresponding to the major areas of inquiry,
with accompanying relevant theoretical frameworks (Table 2) that are applicable for both
precollege and postsecondary levels. For example, in the area of "Identify Challenges" the
suggested frameworks are all in the broad category of Human Ecology, including attributional
work (e.g., the work of Claude Steele) and Kurt Lewin's approach to social psychology.

Breakout Group 2C
Members of this group developed the graphic shown in Figure 5, which, unlike the
others, is not tied to the four major research areas. Rather, it considers the individual in various
contexts and interactions. The framework places particular emphasis on context as created by
interactions among various metatheoretical frameworks related to an individual's social and
cultural competency (e.g., one's identity, race and ethnicity, and social status).

Breakout Group 2D
This breakout group approached its task by developing a series of questions tied to the
four major areas of inquiry (Box 2).
OCR for page 15
BOX 2: Key Framework Questions for Each Major Area of Inquiry
Identify challenges:
Do male views of masculinity play into their decisions to pursue (or to not pursue) specific
fields in STEM?
What role do masculinity and gender play in the pursuit of science (e.g., the "feminization
of science"; characterization of disciplines as "soft" vs. "hard")?
What can be learned from a review of the data on students being "pushed out" or
transferring from one science field to another? What role does microaggression play?
How might deficit cognitive frame theory,a specifically with regards to faculty attitudes,
improve understanding of the experience of minority males in STEM?
Manifestations (characterize how challenges are manifested in target populations):
How might a review of cumulative advantage inform efforts to understand the experience
of minority males? What are some best practices for creating a system of cumulative
advantage in STEM for minority males? Are there different models at different
educational levels?
Mechanisms (examine underlying mechanisms and remediation strategies):
What layers of context should be taken into consideration in developing complex and
comprehensive models of research interventions that include attention to individuals and
families? How such models might be informed by a review of social, racial, policy, and
ecological frameworks?
Success models (provide models of innovative and successful approaches to overcoming the
How might the following models (in whole or in part) improve understanding of what works to
enhance the academic and career prospects of minority males?
Resiliency and coping models
Critical race theory (CRT), specifically with respect to interest convergenceb
"Academic identification," based on how well male students perform academically
"Self theory," based on encouragement of students to see themselves in STEM programs
and careers
According to Estela Maria Bensimon ("Closing the Achievement Gap in Higher Education: An
Organizational Learning Perspective" in New Directions for Higher Education, No. 131, Fall
2005, p. 103), deficit cognitive frame theory "focus[es] on stereotypical characteristics
associated with the culture of disadvantage and poverty."
According to interest convergence theory, substantive gains for minorities will occur only when
they converge with the interests of the majority. See Derrick Bell's seminal article in the
Harvard Law Review 518 (1980).

I had been told recently by someone who encountered a senior Google person at an event that he was evangelising the Google vision to 'index _all_ the world's information'. And I found myself excited by the fact that there will be gold in them thar hills and that this was a fabulous ambition. Right now I am wondering what selling advertising on other people's content has got to do with it. It is not as if Adwords content features as part of the gold Google indexes, it is self-selecting and of very poor quality as Chicago points out. I don't want Google to compete with Overture and Doubleclick, I want Google to be the font of all knowledge. And, yes it will truly be a sad day if it turns out that they are playing, perhaps damagingly, with their brand in order to accelerate their revenue so that a floatation can happen sooner. GoogleGuy's reluctance to address Chicago's strategic concerns was troubling too. I hope I am wrong about this. Steve.
Reflecting on Chicago's earlier comments I find myself troubled by Google forking their business model. I have admired Google for its clarity of purpose and a determination to stick to its vision and now I find myself wondering if they may be making a fundamental mistake right now.

Long page loads aren't fun for anyone. Use WPSocialite to take control of heavy social sharing links and load them how you want!
Social buttons were a complete PITA and taking ages to load.
This plugin lets the page load, then loads social code afterwards. fantastic.
I would like to have the @via parameter added to tweets though.
really happy you made a plug-in from it, I was just about to follow tutorial but plug-in is so much easier.
minifies (...) the page loading times and has an actively supporting plugin author. 5 stars, Thanks a lot!
I love the concept and it works really well. Occasionally a few glitches - one button may not load, but I think this is usually a browser issue.
I would like uses to be able add their Twitter username, so tweets go via @USERNAME. I have had to edit the plugin to add in this capability myself.
Also the ability to make style modifications via settings, as opposed to having to edit the plugins CSS code would be good.
We are currently using the plugin on Technology Bloggers and it works a treat!
Overall a great plugin :-)
de mon coté cet plugin m'a été d'une grande aide. Merci encore une fois
Significantly improves page load performance and looks great.
Would like to set the ability to separately specify the position of the buttons on posts and on pages, but that can be overcome by manually placing it.
Highly customizable!! I love it! Keep up the good work!
Maybe make it so it loads socials on buttons hover?
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the fastest social sharing plugin!
Cleared all browser cookies, checked on chrome and firefox, the facebook like button does not show up all the times. Could it be a problem with iframe or xfbml? Because in an another social sharing plugin, xfbml option didn't work out for me, iframe was okay.

Numerical Valuation of High Dimensional Multivariate European Securities
We consider the problem of pricing a contingent claim whose payoff depends on several sources of uncertainty. Using classical assumptions from the Arbitrage Pricing Theory, the theoretical price can be computed as the discounted expected value of future cash flows under the modified risk-neutral information process. Although analytical solutions have been developed elsewhere for a few particular option pricing problems, computing the arbitrage prices of securities under several sources of uncertainty is still an open problem in many instances. In this paper, we present efficient numerical techniques based upon Monte Carlo simulation for pricing European contingent claims depending on an arbitrary number of risk sources. We introduce in particular the method of quadratic resampling (QR), a new powerful error reduction technique for Monte Carlo simulation. Quadratic resampling can be efficiently combined with classical variance reduction methods such as importance sampling. Our numerical experiments show that the method is practical for pricing claims depending on up to one hundred underlying assets.Download Info

the psychological status of a student in a teaching and learning situation is definitely proven to be an essential criteria for the success and efficiency of the students outcome, therefore the more the student is working in a non-stress environment, the better his evolution will be in terms of learning quality. The challenge from the teaching side will always be to come out with a balanced configuration between serious and game! |

Discount Ramps Product Review! The RBX-3873 Cargo Roof Box
Here is a product review from Mel in our Web Development Department!
In August DiscountRamps.Com got in a brand new product called the RBX-3873 Cargo Roof Box. I happened to have a trip planned up to Harshaw WI, approximately 247 miles north of Milwaukee near Rhinelander, to visit my wife's grandmother who lives at her family's lake house. My wife and I recently purchased a 2009 Nissan Murano, and while it was a big bump up in storage capacity compared to our Toyota Camry, with a growing family space is definitely at a premium. I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to test out our new Roof Box and get some beautiful product shots for the website!
My Murano came equipped with the factory side rails but not cargo roof bars which would be needed to install the roof box. After looking through some of the cargo roof bars DiscountRamps.Com carries, I decided the RB-1004-49 Carbon Steel Roof Bars would do the trick and look good at the same time.
The night before our trip I installed the cargo bars and roof box and we were set. On this trip the roof box wouldn't be used for luggage, but for four bushes that needed to be brought up north to be planted. Our luggage fit inside the vehicle just fine, and the bushes fit perfectly inside the roof box keeping the dirt out of our vehicle.
The four hour drive up was uneventful and I forgot the roof box was even up there. The next morning after our arrival I unloaded the bushes and cleaned out the little bit of dirt that had fallen off of the roots during the drive. Throughout the weekend I'd put stuff in the roof box that I didn't necessarily have room for or want in the vehicle. The push button latch system works just as it should and keeps the box closed up tight even at freeway speeds. I really liked the gas hydraulic shocks that lift the lid once you open the latch. The box is the perfect size too. A weekends worth of camping gear and luggage would be no problem for the roof box. The rest of the weekend the roof box performed flawlessly and it looked pretty cool up there.
All-in-all I was very pleased with the ease of use, the look, and the quality of the roof box over the 3 days of use. The RBX-3873 Cargo Roof Box is a serious bargain at $299.99 compared to some of the other roof boxes on the market that can cost considerably more.
Thanks for sharing Mel!

Discount Ramps Internal Product Review by Kirk!
Here is a submission by Kirk D in Sales!
To date November-2011, the bag has over 2800 miles on it (as does this bike) for the year. The first one (bag) went south after a little over one year of hard rides and 100+ degree days. Not bad considering only the zipper failed! It was replaced under warranty and to date no problems have arisen.
* One must make note that I ride in all the seasons including winter. One year of riding this way is about equivalent to 3 years of normal wear and tear on the average commuter bike.
At 22 cubic inches, this pouch easily managed a spare set of glasses on one side and extra batteries for lights and my MP3 on the other. Mounting was simple thanks to the Velcro straps and held without indecent. During rain storms and other inclimate weather the interior remained dry, MP3 and battery back up ran clean.
Thanks for the great review Kirk!

I have been using your Pet Hair Removers for some time now as they are splendid for freeing my furniture of ginger hairs shed by my 4 small ginger pussies. Today I found another use. I live in an old world cottage and from time to time find the curtains ( facing windows ) seem to get large white / grey cobwebs sticking to them. Vacuuming or trying to brush off is slow and tedious so in despair I tried the Pet Hair Remover Brush. Fantastic ! Twenty minutes later and half a roll later not a cobweb remained.

Inspired by the Occupy movement and the Arab Spring, it is an echo of these and a call for something larger.
Come on- brothers and sisters West to East
Don't let these corporate suit and ties disrespect the streets
Lets be more than outsiders with an angry speech
It's time to occupy, speak your peace, let's go!
Within our life we have two homes,
Known in our minds, and in our bones.
To one who often will return.
For one our spirits ever yearn.
For one our spirits ever yearn.
God's dearest work of art
we long have called the heart,
The depth within from which begin
the prayers that we impart.
Jesus, you were born at Christmas,
like us, a child of God.
This is Bishop Spong's first lecture in the "Future of the Progressive Church" conference held on August 3, 2013 at the Community Christian Church in Springfield, MO
read moreAs well as a bed
We need an inner space where stillness lives.
As well as a roof
We need the shelter loving gives.
Beneath my skin
I'm flesh and bone;
There's more to me than you can see.
Life is for living now;
Not moaning or groaning,
Avoiding, disowning,
Life is for living now ! (WOW)
I'm glad I'm alive, I'm glad that I see
There's never been anyone quite like me.
I am a lovable person,
One of the children of God.
I shall enjoy being myself
Even though some think I'm odd.
When I dream I see the grumpy people smile
And the crying people wipe away their tears.
Everything is changing
Like the butterflies
Grow from eggs so tiny
To their adult size.
1. Let's play at being ice,
As cold as frost and snow,
Bringing sleeping time
When life can grow.
1. I would like to be like Jesus,
Gentle, loving, strong and true.
I would like to be like Jesus
And see God in me and you.
1. If I scramble up a hill,
If I climb into a tree,
If I look out from a cliff,
I can see and see and see.
1. Christmas is a time for children,
Time for presents, fun and play.
Christmas is a time for children,
Let's all be children on this Christmas Day.
1. Let's live nativity;
let the manger shape our minds,
the baby touch our hearts,
the mother bless our flesh.
When I pretend that I'm a seed,
A seed lying in the soil,
The seed and I are one.

About Francis Bowes Sayre, Jr.
The Very Rev. Francis B. Sayre Jr. (January 17, 1915 — October 3, 2008) was Dean of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. for 27 years. He was the fourth grandchild of President Woodrow Wilson.
He was a vocal opponent of segregation, poverty, McCarthyism, and the Vietnam War. In March 1965 he joined Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the voting-rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Sayre was unafraid to denounce Senator Joseph McCarthy, Republican from Wisconsin, during the hey-day of the latter's influence in the 1950s. In 1954 Sayre labelled McCarthy one of a crew of "pretended patriots", and added, "There is a devilish indecision about any society that will permit an impostor like McCarthy to caper out front while the main army stands idly by."
Francis Bowes Sayre Jr. was born in the White House in 1915. He was the fourth grandchild of President Woodrow Wilson. His father, Francis Bowes Sayre, was a Harvard University law professor who later became an assistant secretary of state. His mother was President Wilson's daughter, Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre.
He graduated from Williams College and received his divinity degree from the Union Theological Seminary. He was a chaplain in the Navy during World War II and later had a parish in Cleveland, Ohio.
In 1946 he married Harriet Taft Hart (died 2003), daughter of Admiral Thomas C. Hart.
Sayre retired as Dean in 1978. He died three decades later, on October 3, 2008, aged 93, at his home on Martha's Vineyard. His ashes were interred later that same month at the National Cathedral, where he had held the position of Dean and where he has been memorialized. He was survived by two daughters, two sons and eight grandchildren.

I was pleasantly surprised on my first visit to this gem of a salon tucked away in the heart of Soho. It is cosy and all the staff there is so friendly, which unfortunately is rare these days in salons in central London.
I wanted a new hair inspiration for the party season and after a good consultation we decided that I go for an all over semi-permanent tint, then a haircut. The colour, which is darker than my hair colour (brown) but has very deep red tinge in it, I think is very fashionable…

We are a family of three and stayed at Le Caselle last year. Located in a beautiful and relatively undiscovered part of Tuscany, Le Caselle is just outside the pretty walled town of Lucignano. We had a large bedroom with bathroom, recently renovated and tastefully furnished, very clean, with the most beautiful view out of the window: the town of Lucignano itself. Everyone was extremely polite. We thought the rates where reasonable and the food at the restaurant great. A special mention goes to the home-made red wine, proudly produced by the owner: definitely recommended if you like rich, oak aged, intense reds.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- 'Le Caselle' lies in an idyllic corner of Tuscany, moments from Lucignano, a medieval walled village known as the 'small jewel' of the Val di Chiana region. Our lovingly restored Tuscan farmhouse provides an ideal place in which to relax, explore the landscape and enjoy the rich culture and history of the area, known also for its excellent shops, food and wine. Equidistant from Pisa, Rome and Bologna airports and also within an easy drive of Siena and Florence. ... more less

York Police told 680News some unwelcome guests at a party were being removed when a fight broke out.
That's when one man sustained several stab wounds.
It's unclear if police have made any arrests in relation to the incident and what, if any, charges will be pressed.

The nation's nuclear power plants are among the safest and most secure industrial facilities in the United States. Multiple layers of physical security—together with high levels of operational performance—protect plant workers, the public and the environment.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulates the commercial and institutional uses of nuclear energy, including nuclear power plants. The NRC monitors plant performance according to three strategic areas: reactor safety, radiation safety and security. Independent NRC inspectors at each plant provide daily oversight of plant operation, maintenance, equipment replacement and training.
Nuclear power plants are fueled with uranium. The uranium atoms split—a process called fission—producing heat that boils water to produce steam. The steam is used to spin a turbine to generate electricity. The leftover radioactive materials—a by-product of nuclear fission—are carefully controlled to be sure no dangerous levels of radiation get outside the plant.
Nuclear plant designers account for the possibility that equipment may fail and human mistakes can happen; therefore, multiple redundant backup systems and automatic processes are in place to minimize any problem that may occur. Nuclear power plants have built-in sensors to watch temperature, pressure, water level and all other operating indicators that are important to safety. These sensors are linked to control systems that adjust or shut down the nuclear reactor— immediately and automatically—at the first sign of an abnormality. In addition to backup systems that monitor and regulate what goes on inside the nuclear reactor, U.S. nuclear power plants also use a series of physical barriers—known as defense-in-depth—to prevent the escape of radioactive material.
- The first barrier is the nuclear fuel itself. The uranium fuel is in the form of solid ceramic pellets. Most of the radioactive by-products of the fission process remain locked inside the fuel pellets.
- The next barrier is the fuel rods, which hold the fuel pellets. They are made of a zirconium alloy that is resistant to heat, radiation and corrosion.
- The fuel rods are inside a large steel pressure vessel, with walls about eight inches thick.
- Finally, these barriers are enclosed in a massive reinforced concrete structure—called the containment—with walls that are about four feet thick. To reach the environment, radioactive material would have to escape from each of these barriers in succession.
The people who work at nuclear power plants recognize that nothing matters more than safety. They are trained and tested continually to make sure they understand the plant, follow procedures and pay strict attention to detail. The NRC requires all plant operators to pass difficult licensing—and re-licensing—exams. There are NRC inspectors monitoring daily operations at each of the more than 100 U.S. nuclear power plants. The NRC also conducts regular—and unannounced—inspections which cover all plant operations.

Product Description
Despite never having gotten past seventh grade in school and experiencing many failures early on, R.G. LeTourneau rose to eminence in the competitive world of manufacturing and construction. Although his competitors thought him insane, history has proven that his inventive genius was decades ahead of its time.
LeTourneau's story is one of the weak confounding the mighty and his message is that what he has done, anyone can do with God's help. He tells his story with a beautiful humility and it reads as if he is sitting in an armchair across from you just reminiscing and sharing his life.
"Some people think I'm all mixed up---that you can't serve the Lord and business, too, but that's just the point. God needs businessmen as partners as well as preachers. . . . When you go into partnership with God, you've got a Partner closer and more active than any human partner you can ever get. He participates fully in everything you let Him do, and when you start putting on airs, and thinking you're doing it with your own head of steam, He can set you down quicker and harder than a thunderbolt. There's nothing dull about being in partnership with God."

Hi, Can someone recommend a GOOD BRUNCH in the Chelsea / Meatpacking District of NYC? We're going to the Ground Zero Museum and are hoping to have Saturday brunch inside the same neighborhood. Thanks!
Good Brunch in Midtown, NYC ?
14 Replies | Jump to last reply |
Report Abuse
Not midtown (though Meatpacking dist is stretching the def of midtown, too), but... one of the most amazing brunch places you can imagine is Shopsin's, over in the Essex Market. Amazing menu, excellent quality, and colorful customers & ownership. www.shopsins.com
Report Abuse
Don, what a great rec! Thanks. We're going up in November and staying in Chelsea. Shopsin's looks perfect.
Report Abuse
Yeah, Chelsea / Meatpacking would not be considered midtown (34th to 59th streets) and the 9/11 memorial is even farther downtown, Which area are you really looking for?
BTW, did you mean the official 9/11 memorial on the site of the World Trade Center, or the museum which is not really highly regarded here? (I have not been to the "museum") -
Report Abuse
Pastis..very popular brunch, French.Meatpacking on the edge of West Village
The Standard Grill..excellent brunch, Meatpacking, below the Standard Hotel that spans The Highline.
Cookshop..very good, alway full.10th Avenue at W. 20th Street, W.Chelsea
All have outdoor tables in the warmer months.
Reservations are essential or you probably won't get a table.
And this is not mid-town rather W. Chelsea, Meatpacking, and W. Village , all adjacent to each other, walking distance.
Access to trains at 14th and 23rd Streets.Bus on 9th Avenue goes south, north on 10th Ave. -
Report Abuse
Suggest you get street and subway maps and have a look at them - since you seem confused about different areas - and how close they are to each other.
None of the places you are talking about are in midtown - and chelsea and meatpacking aren't near the World Trade Center. -

Hi nyer - we're staying at the Hilton Millenium. We're Californians and I'm not that savvy on exact locations - my only visit to NYC was rushed.

Thanks everyone for the help with the geography - I'm from San Diego and only have google maps to go off of. : )

The Ground Zero Museum is not built, therefore not open and when it is, it wont be in the meatpacking district. The Ground Zero WORKSHOP which is in the mpd is a money making endeavor that MANY feel is making a profit off the loss and misery of others. Don't go!
Report Abuse
MrsIglesias7777 , Google maps is fine to start. You can also use it to show the distance from one location to another, but remember to switch it to the "walking" option rather than driving to see the real distance
So for example, you can see the distance from the Millennium Hilton to Shopsin's is about one and half miles, not really in the area you're staying. It may be near or on the way to other sights you want to see. -
Report Abuse
Subway from your mid-town hotel to W.Chelsea/Meatpacking for brunch, then subway down to lower Manhattan to visit 9/11 Memorial. Museum is not open yet but the 9/11 Memorial is a moving experience. Then return to mid-town hotel by subway.
Also, you can walk along the Hudson River Park pathway from brunch to 9/11 Memorial, a pretty walk if you have time. -
Report Abuse
HappyTrvlr, she's staying at the Hilton Millenium across from the World Trade Center, not in midtown.
Midtown was the "red herring" in this post! -
Report Abuse
Your hotel is downtown - but in one of several downtown neighborhoods.
To find anything look at the website, which will list the nearest subway stops.
And use hopstop.com - which will show you how to get anywhere by subway, bus, foot or cab.
