One year ago today, the urge to treat my MS 100% naturally had built up enough for me to get off the daily injectable I was on for 5 years!
At this time last year, I also lost vision in my left eye so the decision made a few friends and family members a little nervous and my doctors very nervous.
My neurologists wanted me to go on steroids and a new injectable drug that may cause liver damage. One of my neurologists even painted me this pretty picture: "You're disease is very serious, it's progressing and it only takes one lesion to flare up and ruin your life. I don't want you wheeling in here in a wheel chair next year and tell me that you wish you did everything you could. I strongly suggest you try these new drugs." hmmm some encouragement that was! The thought of pumping my body full of poisons that will give me flu-like symptoms for months, possibly destroy my liver and trusting this negative neurologist who was chugging diet pop throughout our entire meeting was WAY scarier than the "risk" of going drug-free. My diecision was made.
With only a minor relapse in the winter (double vision for 4 days), this last year has been my healthiest year since my diagnosis 6 years ago AND my MRI in January showed no disease progression. It has been win-win for both my health and my career. Working as a Natural Nutritionist and continuing my studies in herbal medicine have really helped me stay encouraged and confident to stay drug free and the fact that I feel better doing my natural thing keeps me encouraged to stay on this same career path.
I would also like to add that my "natural thing" does not not include some magic supplement or secret diet plan. It is simply enjoying a fresh, wholesome diet and thinking healthy thoughts.
So the only wheeling I'm going to be doing this year is on my road bike in Panorama for the Branch Out Bike Tour ;) https://www.2mevents.com/pledge/249
Cheers to a healthy future!

Dakota Jackson named honorary chair of furniture design at SCAD
Furniture Today Staff -- Casual Living, January 31, 2013
Dakota Jackson |
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Design icon Dakota Jackson has joined the Savannah College of Art and Design as honorary chair of furniture design.
During his two-year appointment, Jackson will mentor students from the university's undergraduate and graduate furniture design programs as they learn technical skills and develop a design aesthetic. He'll also focus on strengthening the programs' emphasis on the business of design.
"Viewing the historical, cultural, market and technological landscape of design from different vantage points, in addition to developing essential skill sets, is critical to making informed career decisions," Jackson said in a press release. "Partnering with SCAD, given our shared educational interests, is the perfect forum."
Jackson said his mission has been to make quality custom furniture widely available to designers, architects and their clients.
His commissions include work for Yoko Ono and John Lennon, luxury hotels, cruise ships, and public and university libraries, among others.
Jackson will continue his professional design work in New York while at SCAD's School of Building Arts.
"SCAD students are fortunate to learn from an artist of Dakota's caliber, and his impact on our university community will surely resonate for decades to come," said Paula Wallace, president and co-founder of SCAD.
The college is planning a retrospective exhibition of Jackson's work to be exhibited at the SCAD Museum of Art during his tenure.

text: Sydney Information Lorsque vous visitez Sydney Réseau des itinéraires Facts The City Do & See Dining Essential Information When most people think of Australia, they think of Sydney. The Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are two of the most recognizable images of the modern world. While Sydney Harbour provides a perfect backdrop to the white 'sails' of the Sydney Opera House, the Opera House itself, with its distinct silhouette, has become a symbol of Sydney. This, however, is only one side of the city. Sydney is a place of many layers, like the sandstone upon which it is built. The visitor can explore these layers to gain a deeper understanding of Sydney and its history. They can discover how Sydney grew from a penal colony of several hundred people in 1788, to a modern city of over 4 million people today. Facts Population A little over 4 million Currency Australian Dollar (AUD) $1 = 100 cents Opening hours Most shops are open 9 am-5 pm daily, with late night trading on Thursday to 9 pm. Newspapers Sydney Morning Herald The Australian Sunday Australian Daily Telegraph Sunday Telegraph Tourist information Cnr of Argyle and Playfair St, The Rocks Tel: +61 2 9265 - 9007 Mon-Fri 9.30 am-5.30 pm When the First Fleet arrived in Sydney in 1788, Aboriginal people were already living in Australia. Aboriginal settlement in Australia dates back at least 40.000 years. The Aboriginal people who lived in Sydney were proud, self-sufficient people. Sydney developed as a maritime city and was a very busy port. Today many of the old inner-city wharves have been redeveloped, and places such as the Walsh Bay wharves and Darling Harbour are home to theatres, shops, restaurants and hotels. Historic areas such as the Rocks, Millers Point and Woolloomooloo, which housed the hundreds of workers from the wharves and the docks of Sydney, are now great places for visitors to explore. Sydney's eastern suburbs are to be found along the southern shores of the harbour and are easily accessible by bus or ferry. Oxford Street, the home of the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, extends from the city to Paddington and there is much to see and do along the way. Nearby, Kings Cross is Australia's most densely populated area. It remains a popular destination for visitors. Around the northern edges of the harbour there are many interesting places to explore such as Mosman, Manly and - further north - the northern beaches. In older inner-city suburbs such as Balmain, Paddington and Glebe visitors can see glimpses of Victorian, Edwardian and 1920´s architecture hidden among modern buildings, as well as occasional reminders of early colonial times. There are many interesting walks in these areas, with lots of cafés, restaurants and shops along the way. Visitors can explore Sydney harbour and the Parramatta River by ferry, going as far west as historic Parramatta, settled in 1788 - now the demographic centre for the Sydney metropolitan region. Over the past 25 years, Sydney has become the undisputed financial, media, tourist and political capital of Australia and the site of its most expensive real estate. But it is the bushland and harbour vistas that capture one's attention. International migration has shaped Sydney more than any other Australian city. Sydney is a metropolis of great cultural diversity. Migrants have enriched almost every aspect of Australian life - from business to the arts, from cooking to comedy and from science to sport. Australians enjoy a huge range of food in restaurants and homes, reflecting the country's cultural diversity. Sydney has been voted the world's number one city for a record-breaking 9th year in a row in the Condé Nast Traveler Reader's Choice Awards. Sydney's world ranking can be largely attributed to the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics, when the city established its presence on the world stage. Sydney's beautiful situation gives a gilt edge to many of the city's sights. For the history enthusiast, of course, the place is a dream from the aborigines' maybe 60.000 year history, to the arrival of the colonists just over 200 years ago. Sydney Harbour Bridge The Sydney Harbour Bridge reaches across Sydney Harbour, carrying rail, bicycle, vehicular and pedestrian traffic between the North Shore and Sydney central business district. The arching steel bridge is often referred to as "the coathanger" because of the design. It measures 134 meters (440 ft) from the top to the water level.The company BridgeClimb offers the public a chance to climb up and stand at the summit of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge.

27 June 2013The conductor and Music Director of The Royal Opera on why Verdi's opera is one of his favourites.
What is the personal price of political success? The question lies at the heart of Giuseppe Verdi's Simon Boccanegra. The opera is a sympathetic portrait of a man whose past catches up with him. While the 1857 premiere of Simon Boccanegra was not a success, 20 years later Verdi revised the score and libretto with writer Arrigo Boito. The opera's 'rebirth' in Milan in 1881 met with great acclaim. Simon Boccanegra is now recognized as one of Verdi's most compelling works.
Elijah Moshinsky's handsome production is inspired by Italian Renaissance art. Moments of intimacy – such as the tender duet when Boccanegra is reunited with his daughter Amelia – are contrasted with the stormy drama of state politics. Coursing though the opera is the hatred between Boccanegra and Fiesco, father of Boccanegra's lover Maria. The men finally make peace in Act III in a moving duet – but has reconciliation come too late?

Feeling Guilty? Good!
By Jonathan Abbett Each summer during our college years, some of us return home to daily life with mom and pop. Along with the comfort of our own beds, the savor of non-institutional meals, and the privacy afforded us without roommates, we return to the yoke of paternal law – keeping our rooms clean, washing the dishes after dinner, remembering to turn off lights, and the like. At school, we can do whatever we want in a parent-free environment, but back at the ranch, it's another story. As kids, our parents most likely instilled in us the concept of consequences. Upon breaching an inviolable edict – "Be home before 10!" – punishment was swift and thorough. Whether a time-out, a grounding, or a suspension of electronic privileges, the consequences of our actions left indelible marks on our moral character. Soon, we knew what we had coming. The pangs of unease spread through our bodies even before we slunk through the door at 10:45. This, my friends, is our innate sense of embarrassment – hopefully, a fine-tuned way to keep us out of trouble. It could even be an instinctive emotion to elicit pity and avoid punishment – like when the dog rolls over on his back with his paws up, cowering in his most vulnerable state, after thrashing through the garbage or stealing food from the table. As we leave our parents, return to school, and rapidly approach the High Holy Days, it is important to keep this deep feeling in mind. In his 1965 essay, "Yom Kippur," Rabbi Dr. A. J. Heschel describes his "great fear and trembling" during Yom Kippur – the moments before approaching God to ask for forgiveness. Just as our stomachs sink when being confronted with daily mistakes and misjudgments, so too should we experience such pahad, such fear, when God recounts our year's deeds. Just as our parents meticulously tabulate the household chores we've completed or flouted, so too does God check if we have performed as required. Heschel insists that embarrassment and a sense of inadequacy should be the center of Yom Kippur, the one day a year when "we are all failures." He says: "The root of any religious faith is a sense of embarrassment, of inadequacy. I would cultivate a sense of embarrassment. It would be a great calamity for humanity if the sense of embarrassment disappeared, if everybody was an all-rightnik, with an answer to every problem. We have no answer to ultimate problems." So, why need we feel embarrassed? We don't have all the answers! Our parents tell us what to do, and we don't always understand why – "father knows best," or "because I said so" or "you'll understand when you're older." Even though we don't know why our room absolutely must stay tidy, our embarrassment keeps us cleaning. Maybe someday we'll understand, maybe someday we'll appreciate a neat house – and the same holds in the spiritual realm. Often, when dining out with non-Jewish friends kashrut doesn't seem to make sense. When you're balancing classes and a job preparing for Shabbat can feel like a burden. But still we plug on, in part because Heschel knew it – good, old Jewish guilt is a healthy emotion! God is watching, so feel guilty about the cheeseburger or about spreading rumors. When you feel embarrassed, you know you have transgressed, and that recognition can help you achieve greater wholeness and closeness to God during the High Holy Days and year round. "We believe in an afterlife," said Heschel in a 1944 interview. "We believe that every one of us individually will be called upon to give account of the life we lived. Our destiny will be determined by what we do or fail to do." As we stand before God on Yom Kippur, may our memory of and remorse for our mistakes lead us to being better people and better Jews. |

HorriblePros: Easy to add the projector to and mount onto the ceiling Cons: The tilt bolt is not adequate, cannot get the projector to be level so there is not a horizontal tilt. Did you find this review helpful? |
Well designed and easy to fixPros: Well designed, simple to fix and looks very good. As some one already pointed out the hight is around 5 inch instead of 11 inches specified. Cons: Tilt is not that firm unless otherwise tightened both the side knobs Other Thoughts: I used it for Acer H5360, which fits well. You need 16mm M3 screws to fix 3mounting holes which were not provided in the box. I used these screws to fix 3 mounts with a washer and also used 4 leg into camera stand hole using one of the screws provided in the box with a washer.Acer projector come with a nice pattern when press and hold Menu button, use that to match the screen size to locate the distance before mounting to the ceiling. This helped me to locate the distance from the screen. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Good Quality Cons: No fault on Newegg's part but I called the manufacture and there teck department assured me that the height from celling to the projector was 11.18 inch actual height is only 5.25 inch 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
No good not universalPros: none Cons: doesnt fit my epson HD projector 2 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very AdjustablePros: + Adjustable Cons: - Did not fit my Acer projector. I had to find my own screws laying around the house and I somehow got it to fit. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Far from UniversalPros: High gloss finish Cons: May not include necessary screws to connect to your projector. Other Thoughts: This mount is good if you're able to evenly distribute the weight of your projector under this unit and have spare M5 bolts lying around. For TRULY universal mounting options, pick a different model. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Impressed!Pros: Purchased with an Acer H6500 projector. Installation was easy. The mount is sturdy and has a solid feel. You cannot go wrong with this item and the price you are paying. Will buy again. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excelent workPros: Excelent construction. Solid, stays where its supposed to. Comes with more than enough screws. Well worth the money. Cons: Only thing that could be better is a vertical height adjustment. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great inexpensive mountPros: Light weight Cons: Not quite big enough for my Epson Other Thoughts: Bought this to replace my original ceiling mount that had a long arm. the old one dropped the projector down too far from the ceiling. This one is a great replacement as it's much lower(higher?) profile. :) Did you find this review helpful? |
Great unit!Pros: Incredibly simple unit with the quickest set up I have been able to find. It works with my NEC, Infocus, BenQ, & Optima projectors. Comes preassembled so 5 minutes to mount to your projector. Has instant removal option for replacing bulb. Universal joint gives unlimited adjustment positioning when we mounted brackets across overhead ceilings to mount into and no problem even at right angles. Can't say enough good about this little, but sturdy unit. Cons: Ease of use also means ease of theft, since two twists of the hand screws and the unit is yours. Best to cable in for security.

High-profile data security breaches have helped shape data breach notification laws to force businesses to communicate a breach to the public and authorities when personally identifiable information has been exposed. When a crisis takes place and the pressure is on incident response teams, security experts say only the teams that have conducted mock training drills are in prime position to effectively execute a plan. It takes only one misstep to fan the flames, causing further damage to a firms' already tarnished reputation. The following breaches illustrate why a thorough incident response plan is needed and how clear communication of the facts is necessary.

Farm bill: Now what?
What just happened on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives? For many, including some Members, the unthinkable happened when only 171 Republicans and 24 Democrats voted to support the House version of the Farm Bill.
A blank was fired in 2012 when the product of the House Ag Committee was not even called for a vote. Now, the leadership of the House fired a live round into its foot when the last few Democratic supporters were alienated just ahead of H.R. 1947 being called for a final vote.
Now what!?
Lots of finger pointing
The final vote count was 171 Republicans and 24 Democrats voting yes, while 62 Republicans and 172 Democrats were voting no on the omnibus agriculture and food policy designed to take effect in October and run through 2018. Most of the Democrats voted against the bill because of the cuts made to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). However, a few hung on until the last amendment was passed, which required SNAP recipients to work or look for work, and Rep. Collin Peterson said many of them withdrew their support of the bill at that point. Peterson is the Ranking Democratic Member of the House Agriculture Committee, who tried to gather enough Democrats to support the bill, even after his own plan for dairy price supports was targeted for change by the vice chairman of the House Ag Committee, Rep. Bob Goodlatte.
When the final vote was tallied, Peterson and the other 23 Democratic supporters of the bill pointed to the SNAP amendment as a nail in the coffin. But not all of the Republicans in the House voted for the bill, including Ag Committee Vice Chairman Goodlatte. He and 61 other Republicans voted no, many of them contending the 3 percent cut to SNAP funding was insufficient and the overall $926 billion (10 year) cost of the legislation was too much. One of the Republican supporters was Speaker John Boehner, who dislikes farm policy legislation, but publicly announced earlier in the week he would vote for the bill in an attempt to rally enough of his Republican colleagues to vote in favor. The defeat can be seen as a blow to his leadership, and he had little to say after the vote.
What happens now?
House Ag Committee Chairman Frank Lucas says a new version of the Farm Bill will be forthcoming within days. But what would it look like, if Republicans want more cuts and Democrats want fewer cuts? The Republican leadership will have the option of presenting a strictly Republican bill designed to get a majority vote just from their party, and pass the bill without any Democratic support. While it is difficult to say what that bill would look like, the common denominator among Republicans will be reduced spending. If that is the case, there would be fewer dollars allocated for nutrition programs, crop insurance, and other typical Farm Bill elements. While it may be possible to pass such a pared down version in the House, it would have to be reconciled with the Senate, and such a philosophy would have an even lesser chance than did the bill that was defeated on Thursday.
Equipment Directory
House leadership failed again. Anyone expecting this current House of Representatives to take care of farmers better look again. Tim Huelskamp, who represents the biggest agricultural district in Kansas, voted against the bill, along with 61 other Republicans.
Why do we need a farm bill? It has never been a better time to be a farmer. The small guy that has a store in town what about him. Can that man go to FSA and get free money?
And the $250,000 AGI limit would hit many families with two incomes, in addition to farm income. So we subsidize them by penalizing their employees and others who do not even come close to make The National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) reports 30% of all farm workers had total family incomes below the poverty line of $23,550 for a family of 4. In addition to low wages and no job security, farm workers lack benefits that labor laws guarantee to workers in other industries.
If they made it stricktly a farm bill, that would be great but they tack on their own little private agendas (alec), thus the failure in passing (lobbyists, greed and private agendas= failure).

Kanga's Pita Pouch Sandwiches with Garden Egg Salad
Kanga knows a thing or two about keeping little Roo healthy. Stuff your salad into a whole-wheat pita for a tasty twist on the classic.
Serving suggestion: Instead of packing sandwiches in plastic bags, use waxed paper and adhesive labels to create a kangaroo pouches for your sandwiches. The paper pouch is better for the environment than plastic and helps little hands to hold their sandwiches together while they eat!
You'll need:
- 8 hardboiled eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or to taste)
- 1 Tablespoon coarse-grain mustard
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
- Whole wheat pitas
- Pastry cutter or two butter knives for cutting eggs
- Waxed paper
- Self -adhesive labels
- Markers
1. To start, peel hardboiled eggs and discard shells. (If you like, let kids roll eggs on a cutting board to break the shell, then peel).
2. Cut eggs in half and place them in a large mixing bowl. Cut eggs into bite-sized pieces using a pastry blender. If you don't have a pastry blender you can use two butter knives. This job is perfect for kids, eggs are soft and easy to cut and the pastry blender makes the job quick and easy! |
3. Mix in mayonnaise, mustard and shredded carrot. Stir until well combined.
4. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. For the pouches, cut a 12" length of waxed paper for each sandwich.
6. Next, fold the bottom of the waxed paper up to meet the top. Then fold each side of the paper into the center to create an envelope large enough to accommodate your pita.
7. Place a self-adhesive label along the overlapping seam, to hold your pouch together. You can let kids decorate their own labels. This is a great way to serve sandwiches at a party, and the labels will let guests know what's inside your pitas.
8. Slip your pita into the pocket, and stuff your sandwich. |

Viognier Rhymes With Labor Day
Friday - 9/3/2010, 1:18pm  ET
Some of the best viognier can be found in Virginia. The 2008 Horton Vineyard Viognier from Orange County, Va. is a steal at $15. It has scents of acacia, tropical fruit and white peaches with flavors of peach, pineapple, vanilla and toasty oak. The 2008 Freemark Abbey Viognier from Napa Valley ($25) sports a nose of acacia and nectarines that leads to palate pleasing flavors of creamy peaches and tropical fruits with a touch of wet stone. If you want to experience Viognier in its native form, try the 2007 E. Guigal Condrieu ($53) from the Rhone Valley in France. Another wine to try: Australia's 2008 d'Arenberg "The Last Ditch" Viognier ($25).

Durbin sits down with AN editor Laura B. Whitmore to discuss the new sound found on his upcoming record, 'Celebrate.'
Here's a photo gallery of Deanna, the latest addition to the Girls of Guitar World.
In last month's installment of Chop Shop we looked at a classical-flavored run in E minor that incorporated arpeggios, octaves and a simple but cool-sounding octave finger tap. This month we're going to expand upon that approach by again employing arpeggios, this time also bringing in some sweep picking, a sliding finger tap, pinch harmonics and behind-the-nut string bending.
Delta blues giant Robert Johnson (May 8, 1911–August 16, 1938) is one of the most fascinating and mysterious performers in music history. He created an essential body of blues guitar music, recording 29 songs in 1936 and 1937 that would exert a powerful influence on the likes of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, Johnny Winter and many others. In this edition of In Deep, we'll examine the variety of picking techniques and tunings that Johnson used to craft his timeless, deeply emotional music.
For this lesson, I've put together a series of melodic riffs that could be used for a song's intro, verse, chorus, bridge or solo section, and that utilize an open low E-string pedal tone. A pedal tone is defined as a long held or rearticulated note around which other parts move. As applied to the guitar, a pedal tone usually represents the tonic, or root note, and is played on the lower, often open, strings.
The Beatles' "Blackbird," performed entirely by Paul McCartney using his Martin D-28, was released on the 1968 album The Beatles (commonly referred to as the White Album). From a guitar standpoint, the song's roots and inspiration can be traced back to McCartney's early experimentation with a well-known piece by J.S. Bach titled "Bourée in E Minor," which he woodshedded in his youth.
When Les Paul passed away at the age of 94 on August 13, 2009, most obituaries overstated a few of his contributions and understated others. Some claimed he invented the electric guitar (he didn't even invent the solidbody guitar, though he was among the first to experiment with its design) while barely mentioning his pioneering work in the development of multitrack recording. And while many articles mentioned his namesake Gibson Les Paul guitar, few discussed just how great a guitarist he was.

More storage for laptops is now possible thanks to Toshiba managing to squeeze 750GB into a two platter 9.5mm form factor. Boasting the industry's highest areal density, the MK7559GSXP is also joined by a slightly bulkier 1TB three platter HDD and both hold the promise of greener manufacture and improved power efficiency.
Western Digital announced a 750GB and a 1TB HDD squeezed into a 2.5 inch form factor last year but with laptop manufacturers looking to produce skinny models, the 12.5mm thickness resulted in marketing being heavily concentrated in the direction of external hard drives. Toshiba has claimed the 750GB laptop HDD crown in the rather technically-named MK7559GSXP.
The 5,400 RPM double platter/four head 2.5 inch HDD is just 9.5mm thick and features an industry-leading areal density of 839.1 MB per square millimeter, no doubt pleasing storage hungry laptop and small external drive owners in the process. Toshiba reckons that its power consumption is "about 14% less than the previous generation (MK6465GSX, 640GB)" and it's RoHS compliant, also being free of halogen.
The drive is joined by a bigger brother, the MK1059GSM 1TB three platter/six head HDD coming in at a slightly chunkier, laptop unfriendly 12.5mm thick. Both units are the first to be developed since Toshiba acquired Fujitsu's HDD business last year and benefit from a SATA 2, 3Gbp/s interface, an 8MB buffer, an average seek time of just 12ms and will be available from April. No word on price yet.
When, oh when, will this drive become available...and at what price. No sign anywhere on the net of its impending availability...and it's the end of April.

Many organisations, both charitable and commercial, work with groups of children and young people. These may be: sports clubs; Religious groups; theatre groups; outdoor activities etc.
It is good practice for organisations such as these to have a safeguarding policy and related procedures for their staff and volunteers. Such policies and procedures will ensure good practice in relation to child protection and give a measure of protection to workers from placing themselves in a vulnerable position.
It is important that these organisations write their own policy and procedures, to suit their individual circumstances. Worcestershire Safeguarding Children Board has produced a checklist of issues to be considered to support this process.
This document has been prepared by the Worcestershire Safeguarding Children Board to help organisations to develop their own policies and procedures for safeguarding children. It is aimed at any organisation, be it voluntary, commercial, charity, religious or sporting which involves children and young people in its activities.
No organisation should be providing services for children without a policy and procedures for safeguarding children. This will not only help to protect children from abuse, but will also provide guidance to staff and volunteers in your organisation to ensure that they are acting appropriately at all times.
It is important that each organisation gives thought to safeguarding children and develops their own procedures which will fit their organisation. It is however recognised this can be a difficult task for those with no experience of writing such procedures This checklist is therefore designed to provide an indicator of what needs to be included. The policy and procedures must be developed to fit the organisation.
This is a statement of your organisation's aims and objectives in providing a service for children. This should include:-
This policy is only a brief statement and does not need to go into any detail about how you will achieve your aims. Remember that your procedures are a system for ensuring that your Policy is put into practice – so keep your Policy simple and realistic.
In writing these procedures do not lose sight of their purpose and for whom they are intended. They are a tool for your members of staff and volunteers to use when they are concerned about a child. They need to be clear and concise. The basic principles should be as few as possible.
The procedures are designed to protect children from any harm or abuse, to ensure that children who wish to report any kind of abuse or harm are listened to and this is acted upon, to protect workers from placing themselves in vulnerable situations.

Surely an adult should know how to control themselves at an anime convention. Apparently not. I was recognized at a convention by some old friends, two very kind twin sisters I will call Aradia and Alfred due to them cosplaying those characters. I ended up spending a majority of my day with them; it all went well, until a certain Germany cosplayer approached us with her posse in the lobby, we will call her Ludwig.
She didn't bother to excuse herself, interrupting our conversation looking rather angry and asking if we had seen a cosplayer wearing a "shitty", "crummy" black wig. She made it clear that she wanted to give them a piece of her mind. I could tell just by watching that Aradia and Alfred felt uncomfortable around her and her group.
Later that evening we were checking the rave room, and when we walked out Ludwig was there with her posse. She saw us, and I think this was an attempt to be in character, but she pulled out a prop gun and acted as if she loaded it. She set her full attention on Alfred, screaming "AMERICA!" and pointing the gun straight at her. Her group cheered and chanted insults such as "IM GOING TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE ALFRED!". Aradia was horrified as she quickly hurried us both out of the hallway back to the lobby. Fake or not, we were astonished that someone would have the nerve to pull a gun out and threaten someone with it, and not ONE person stepped in to stop her, and the fact that she was cheered on was terrible. I still sit here thinking why a group of full grown women would think it would be funny to suddenly target and threaten a child at a convention. They might have thought that is was a joke or "in character" but this was neither funny nor cute. Please try and control yourself please, you reached the age where it should be essentia.

I called Y and they suggested I use the site targetting hints. But he also suggested I select a more popular topic - other than the one my site was about. I couldn't believe it and told him that wouldn't be a good thing to do... he basically shrugged his telephone shoulders. Today for the 1st time in a long time I've decided to block every ad that isn't on target from both Y and adsense. I don't care anymore about making the EPC lower. I'm just tired of seeing horribly targeted ads. I'll hit the 200 limit by this evening. And for reduced performance - just to give a relative idea (not real numbers but real percentages). I used to make $50 a month with Y (2005) and $35 with G. Now I make $3-4 per month :(
A funny thing happened more than a year ago when trying to get better ad targetting and ad performance.

"Greg's dedication to the industry and community, along with his passion for technology, is unsurpassed," said Mike DeSorbo, CARQUEST director of market segments. "Adding Greg's name to the list of TECH-NET/ASE Technician of the Year winners only confirms how far one must strive in automotive service excellence to become a winner of this award."
As the winner of the 2006 TECH-NET/ASE Technician of the Year, Epsaro will receive an all-expense paid trip for two to the ASE board meeting where he will be presented a trophy and gold ring and will join the membership of the CARQUEST Advisory Council.

I-CAR Presents Founder's Award
Donna Washut of ASA-Washington was presented with the 2006 I-CAR Founder's Award Aug. 5 at I-CAR's annual meeting in San Jose, Calif. Bob Mickey of I-CAR's Western Region bestowed this distinguished honor to Washut by saying, "In addition to her duties for the association, Washut schedules, markets and does the paperwork for I-CAR courses for her district, and serves as the district committee chair." The award recognized the person in each I-CAR region who "exemplifies the I-CAR volunteer spirit."
NAPA Sponsors Local Texas Chapter Meeting
The ASA Houston chapter held a meeting Aug. 8 at the Sheraton Brookhollow Hotel in Houston. Approximately 50 members and associate members gathered to enjoy the networking and valuable information shared by the guest speaker, Moritza Day of the Day West Co.
Day addressed the common problems shop owners face when hiring new employees and provided interesting interview techniques on how to avoid legal pitfalls. Day also provided examples using "attitude-based" questions to expose the prospective employee's true character. Among the common mistakes she outlined for the members was the habit of hiring in our own image. Day is the author of "Networking to Build Your Success" and the co-author of "1000 Best Job Hunting Secrets."
NAPA Auto Parts sponsored the conference and provided all the food as well as meeting space for the August, September and October meetings. In addition, NAPA donated a $1,000 gift certificate redeemable at any NAPA store for parts, tools or merchandise that was awarded at the October meeting to a lucky attendee: Ed Jones of Jones Auto Repair.
Other topics on the agenda included revitalization of the ASA-Houston chapter and activation of the new ASA-Houston Web site that is hosted and designed by ASA national and the new electronic newsletter.
ASA-Houston encourages all interested parties to attend any and all meetings. For more information and for upcoming chapter events, contact Rudy Ramkissoon at email@example.com.
National News
ASA national's membership recruiter, Todd Mehalko, traveled to Indianapolis Sept. 8-10 to attend the Linder Technical Services (LTS) Annual Training Conference & Trade Show. More than 300 technicians and attendees from all over the United States and Canada absorbed a significant amount of information from the training seminars that were held throughout the conference. LTS provides "training solutions for today's technicians" by introducing the techs to "real world training." The conference is held annually, making this the ninth successful year.
Kelly McDonald and Karla Armend‡riz of McDonald Marketing in Dallas on Sept. 9 made a presentation to ASA's national staff on how to "Market Effectively to U.S. Latinos." The Automotive Management Institute-approved course provided beneficial information on targeting the Hispanic community, valuable census data and how to avoid common marketing mistakes. The course also revealed how the exploding Hispanic population is shaping society, how to understand the Latino culture and how to develop a marketing message that reflects the foundation of Latin life.

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Autofocus Lenshttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Sigma-30m...4ac2ed24d THis is about $20 cheaper than the previous FP deal. You will also earn $5.38 ebay bucks...which makes this about $264... |
If you're not repping repeatedly, you're repeatedly missing the point. If you like this place and its helpful posts and want to see more, reward the helpful posters with reps. Benefit from a post - in ANY way? Rep it, and you'll likely see more good stuff around here. And, your momma wanted me to tell you that she didn't raise no ungrateful, free rider either. Rep them all, not just the OPs. |
And they are on sale because new version is coming out. If you want it get it. If you can buy better more expensive version then wait. |
The new lens is a lot better but also a lot more expensive. On the other hand, looking at some online reviews, this lens isn't very sharp wide open which is the only reason I would get it for. Was kind of tempted, but I think I'll skip. Thanks for the heads up though OP.
Considering how the demand among Nikon owners is so low for this lens (to the point where it has been discounted $50 more than the Canon version), I don't know if I should be jealous as a Canon owner of better crop-sensor prime lenses for the Nikon mount.
I LOVE Caucasian Female Tennis Players 888.
I'm not trying to argue, it's just the decision I made for myself. I will save the money. If people think they want this lens, go for it! Last edited by michi098; 03-29-2013 at 10:00 PM.. |
This lens is pretty darn good at F1.4 in the center of the frame. Yes, there are focus accuracy problems but the image quality of this lens is nothing short of amazing @ $269.
The Nikon 35/1.8 will focus better & perhaps even have better build quality but the bokeh of the Sigma is MUCH nicer. |
Sorry if it seemed like i was attacking you but im actually trying to find an alternative to this lens. I don't want to purchase a crop sensor only lens. |

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Considered by many to be the benchmark producer in the appellation, Cayron produces a Gigondas (cepage = roughly 70% Grenache; 15% each Syrah and Mourvedre) of phenomenal richness and incredible longevity. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more terroir-expressive wine anywhere in the Southern Rhone; bold, explosive, stunningly evocative garrigues flavors careen from the glass, blaring their stamp of origin like a neon sign. These are old-styled, powerful wines of enormous fruit amplitude and irresistible personality. Furthermore, Cayron is among the most age-worthy of Gigondas, delicious upon release, but improving for well over a decade and holding strong for a long time thereafter. This 15-hectare domaine, run by the Faraud family, is a classic and truly top-flight estate.
"Saturated ruby. Strikingly aromatic bouquet of red and dark berries, garrigue and incense, plus an exotic note of apricot. Sappy black raspberry and cassis flavors caress the palate, with smoky minerals providing verve. Utterly seamless wine, offering a superb balance of depth, power and finesse. Finishes with excellent juicy lift and clinging minerality. This Gigondas is at the top of my to-buy list this vintage. 92-95" 95 Points International Wine Cellar
"While Cayron's 2006 is vegetal and stinky, they hit a home run with their 2007 Gigondas (a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 14% Syrah, and 1% Mourvedre). I have been tasting (and often buying) this Gigondas since 1979, and it tends to be a wine that repays patience. The 2007 offers a smorgasbord of Provencal aromas, including lavender, ground pepper, incense, Provencal herbs, and black cherries. Full-bodied, earthy, even animalistic, it will be somewhat controversial because of its abundant spice and meatiness. Nevertheless, this stunningly concentrated effort is the finest wine Domaine du Cayron has produced in many years. It should drink well for a decade. 89-92" 92 Points The Wine Advocate
There is a sense of focus and implicity at Domaine du Cayron. I make one wine, says Michel Faraud. There are no cuvees reserves, no declassified Cotes du Rhone, only Gigondas. Happily, Faraud's years of conservatism have paid off. His wine is one of the most loved Gigondas on the market. When frosts in 1956 destroyed many of Faraud's olive trees (Gigondas was once planted...Read More About Dom. Du Cayron
(jhee-gon-dahs) The muscleman of the Southern Rhone, Gigondas is situated right under the rugged, rocky range of the Dentelles de Montmirail - a sign of the rustic, edgy flavor found in wines from the area. The region, once a Cotes-du-Rhone village, earned its own appellation in 1971. Producing reds and roses, Gigondas creates top quality reds sometimes rivaling its...Read More About Gigondas
The Rhone region of France has a delightful selection of red varieties. There are 22 grapes allowed in the Rhone AOC, about half of them red. Most of these varieties are used as secondary blending partners, often comprising less than 10% of the blend. The primary red players of Rhone blends are Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre.

Albany – State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher today announced the appointment of Lisa L. McKay as senior assistant provost and director of SUNY's University Center for Academic and Workforce Development (UCAWD), which supports the social, academic, and economic well-being of residents in need in communities statewide.

"Lisa McKay understands SUNY's commitment to New York and to the academic and economic needs of its residents," said Chancellor Zimpher. "She has been a vital member of the UCAWD team for the past 11 years, continuing what has been a career-long commitment to positively affecting communities in need.

UCAWD directs the activities of New York's 10 EOCs, two career counseling and outreach centers, and more than 30 Advanced Technology Training and Information Networking (ATTAIN) Labs. Taken together, these programs provide a broad range of services for academically and economically disadvantaged New Yorkers, providing pathways to post-secondary education and gainful employment, and fostering local economic development.
"I was delighted that our national search resulted in the recommendation of an internal candidate not only well-versed in current UCAWD operations, but with a clear vision for moving the organization forward," said SUNY Provost David Lavallee." I have every confidence that Lisa will lead UCAWD, and SUNY's service to New Yorkers, to new levels of success."
"I am honored to take on this new role and to work directly with Chancellor Zimpher and Provost Lavallee in furthering SUNY's dynamic support to underserved New Yorkers," said McKay. "UCAWD serves more than 35,000 New York residents each year, empowering not only individuals, but their families and communities. I look forward to building on UCAWD's existing strengths and to identifying new opportunities and partnerships for this outstanding organization."

McKay is a SUNY alumnus, with a master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University at Albany. She received her bachelor's degree in Psychology from Bowie State University.

Me with Columbia, a long way off...
The connecting ridge between Harvard and Columbia is a quality route. Only on rappel was necessary, about 25 feet. The rest we soloed
Alpine garden on the ridge. That is Mt. Yale in the background
The first 1/3 of the route is easy walking

Things are starting to look more interesting from here
The ridge becomes more defined about half way through
Typical 4th class ledge traverse on the ridge
Surprisingly solid rock. This was right after the only rappel, and just before the "Rabbits"
Approaching the "Rabbits." We traversed them on the right, in spite of guidebook suggestions to do it on the left. It was very easy, and avoided the snow in the gully on the left

Only the summit ridge to Columbia remains

Coffee Cake Sour Cream Recipe
Warm, buttery coffee cake: you just can't beat a good one. And Janice Kuhlmann's recipe for Sour Cream Coffee Cake is just that. With a lovely, tender interior and a slightly crunchy crust, it has a wonderful texture not unlike poundcake. But it's the lemon and almond flavors plus the full cup of walnuts that really take this Stafford Springs, Connecticut reader's cake over the top on taste.
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon peel and extract. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream beating well after each addition.
- Transfer to a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 16 servings.
