Facing up to the challenges the next century will offer our profession
Taking as his text the Parable of the Talents, Malcolm Porter, an architect and lay-preacher, recently argued that Christians have a duty to use their skills appropriately. He proffered a challenging question which we, as a profession, might usefully ponder as we celebrate the final Christmas of the twentieth century: are we using our expertise in the best interests of our clients and the community?

Santa Barbara Island Closed Due to Storm Damage
Santa Barbara Island is currently closed to public access due to damage from the high surf associated with Hurricane Marie. More »
San Miguel Island Closure
In the interest of public safety, the U.S. Navy is closing San Miguel Island until further notice due to recent concerns of possible unexploded ordnance. More »
Channel Islands National Park maintains a museum and archival collection of more than 300,000 objects related to the park's cultural and natural history. While the park's historical archives and administrative records are housed at the park, most of the park's artifacts and specimens are located in nearby institutions.
These collections have resulted from research and resource management activities undertaken by park personnel, researchers, and staff of partner institutions over a period of some 75 years. Much of the research and collecting occurred prior to the establishment of the National Park, when Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz islands were privately owned.
Two of the premier objects in the park's museum collection are the original third-order Fresnel lens from the Anacapa lighthouse and the nearly-complete pygmy mammoth skeleton from Santa Rosa Island. The Fresnel Lens is displayed in the Anacapa Island visitor center, while a plaster cast of the pygmy mammoth skeleton can be seen in the park's Ventura visitor center and at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
Where to Find Channel Islands Collections
Did You Know?
Although the park is within 60 miles of 18 million people, it is home to 175 miles of pristine undeveloped coastline.

Here's another great fabric resource in Chicago-The AIBI Fabric and trim show.
The Apparel Industry Board helps support and promote Chicago's fashion community and this biannual fabric and trim shows is one of the way that they've done that.
In addition to fabric and trim they usually have information about other resources for designers. In fact, this is where I found the company that manufactures the tags for my products!
If you're a designer in Chicago it's worth checking out.

Roundup: Bright and Bold Shower Curtains
We offered up our favorite neutral shower curtains for a peaceful bathroom, but what if you're in the mood for some color? Here are a few bright and bold shower curtains that inject some fun into your bathroom!
• 1 Anthropologie comes with the color in Ombre ruffles with their Flamenco Shower Curtain.
• 2 DwellStudio brings the bold color and cute animal graphics with their Gio Shower Curtain in aqua.
• 3 A pop of yellow will brighten up a drab bathroom, and the Bella Shower Curtain from Chiasso has just the right amount of zing!
• 4 Testing! This TV Test Pattern Shower Curtain has a great pop of color, but we're still trying to find a local source for it.. (Help, anyone?!)
• 5 Add a large dose of pretty floral with Urban Outfitter's Wallpaper Floral Shower Curtain.
6 Comments
Ugh, I've been pining over that Anthropologie curtain for a YEAR now. At $118, I can't convince myself to make the investment (it is just a shower curtain afterall).
I may breakdown and try to sew one myself... we'll see.
oooh that first one is so lovely!!
Ugh, They look like frilly girls panties...
Ick ick ick.
I like #3 quite a lot, but $98 for a shower curtain? I'm not sure... I've been using a $20 shower curtain from Target and it's been working just fine, so I guess I can live without this posh one.
so pretty.

I Am a Good Person / I Am a Bad Person information:
Good luck and get filming!
And remember the challenges are just optional. You can always make a film of your own choosing, if this challenge is not for you!
- Plot-matic: free iPhone app
- Logline generator
There are two types of challenges at Kino.
Individual challenges are given out to filmmakers who have broken the rules with one of their films, or to daredevils who've volunteered for one. Challenges are decided by the audience on the night. The filmmaker who's received a challenge is not allowed to show at Kino again until they've made their challenge film.
Collective challenges are open filmmaking missions which anyone can take part in. There is no thematic restrictions at Kino - you're free to make exactly the film you want to make, provided you stick to the simple rules - but sometimes taking part in a team challenge can provide that extra motivation, incentive or deadline you need to get started.
Don't know where to start? Maybe you need a film challenge to get you into action!
Below is a list of optional challenges. Hit the links to get some further inspiration!
Four hours in the Australian Museum to shoot what ever you would like! Take inspiration from the roaring Dinosaurs, live crocodiles or special exhibition spaces!
There will be the opportunity to interview Museum experts or attend Jurassic Lounge, the museums after hours art event!
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more info.
Take a step back in time when cigarettes were smoked whole heartily, femme fatals were in distress and detectives drank way too much scotch.
Film Noir involves a very distinct lighting style. You can suss out techniques for creating Film Noir here.
Creating a film with no sound, is not as easy as it sounds. Take a trip back to the days when vision couldn't be recorded along side film and create a film with no speech or dialogue.
Take inspiration from the likes of Charlie Chaplin and make use of well placed title cards to get your story across.
Think you can create a film without any editing or cuts? With a bucket load of rehearsal behind your belt, you can make some pretty awesome films in one take.
Make use of a home made tracking device, like a skateboard, shopping bag with a hole for your lens or a trolley for a super cheap, smooth tracking shot.
Haven't made a film before but have an eye for photography? Stop Motion might be an excellent place for you to start!
Using a camera take a bunch of shots that when placed side by side will create the impression of movement.
Seen a few too many David Attenborough films and feel you could recreate something possibly a bit funnier? Animal mocumentary is a fabulous time to put your voice over skills to work as you capture the essence of your neighbourhood cat, rat or goat.
Think The Sixth Sense or American Beauty where colours have been manipulated to stand out and represent an important aspect of the film.
Choices can be taken throughout the creation of the film to focus on particular colours or colour manipulation can be achieved in the post production process.
Enjoyed a particular era and would like to play homage to it? Set your film back in time and recreate a specific period. 70's disco anyone?
Animation is a time consuming art form and requires a lot of hours sitting behind the computer. On the plus side you don't have to cast characters, find locations or spend days trying to organise your crew!
Beginning with a Haiku poem, create a film that encapsulates the meaning of each sentence.
Create a 30 sec Kino indent that we can use to promote Kino Sydney on the night!
Have a film in mind that requires a series of mountains but don't have the cash to trek to the Himalayas? You can create a green screen in your home! You will need a piece of green or blue fabric and a lot of time to spend keying in the background image. Remember to not put your actors in blue or green outfits when in front of the green screen!
Puppet tales are super funny!
Want to poke fun at the worst reality TV show out? Making a mock TV program is the ultimate outlet. Think cooking programs, soap operas, crime shows...
Hook up with a local musician and create a music video with them! It is super easy to gather inspiration from song lyrics and heaps of local muso's are dying to have a film clip shot. Need to get hooked up with a band? Give us a yell, bands who have strutted their stuff on the Kino stage would love to be put in contact with you.
Like to cause a bit of a song and dance? Unleash your song writing abilities with a musical short film!
Got a big scale film idea in your head? Creating a trailer is a sweet way to start pitching your idea to film networks and sponsors. Why don't you shoot a trailer, take it to Kino and get some feedback from like minded film makers before you head out on your feature film making journey!
Have another challenge idea that we haven't come up with? Like to see a certain challenge be given out at the next Kino? Shoot an email to email@example.com. We are all about feedback and ideas!
*Please note - only one group per month is allowed to take up the Museum challenge. Contact email@example.com to book in a slot

Rapper Afroman refuses to become a 'one-hit wonder'
Afroman brings his cautionary tale of recreational drug use and other songs of a similar ilk to Q Ball next Thursday.
Visit the Photo Place
Unless you were hiding under a rock in 2001, you probably heard the oh-so-catchy novelty tune "Because I Got High" more than a few times.
As an ode to the perils of smoking less-than-legal substances, the song--complete with a video featuring Jay and Silent Bob--got played endlessly in dorm rooms and in parents' basements across the country.
Afroman's stoner anthem got him nominated for a Grammy the following year, and with a second successful single, "Crazy Rap," he seemed poised for mainstream success.
Of course, it's easy-come, easy-go in the world of pop culture, and despite signing him for a six-album deal, Universal Records dropped Afroman after two LPs and a greatest hits compilation.
A less-determined musician would've called it quits, but Afroman hasn't stopped producing records on his own since then. You can catch Afroman's dope rhymes in person at Q Ball Cafe Bar & Grill on Thursday, Sept. 30.
In a recent phone interview, Afroman explained he prefers the independent path.
"I just like it because I know I'm in control," he said.
"I know I'm doing the best I can, and I'm not letting the grass grow under my feet."
The budgets may not be as big, but without the bureaucracy of a massive label, Afroman has put out eight full-length albums on his own. There are certain advantages to releasing music without a major label, he said.
"I've learned in life that when I'm in control, things go right. I'm the rapper--I specialize in rap music. A lot of times, a lot of business people understand this and that. But sometimes they don't understand [the music], and they're in charge with that ignorance. When they make a bad move, it sacrifices your career, and you're the one who looks dumb."
Afroman backed up his point by recalling a big-budget blunder from the '80s.
"It's like when The Fat Boys did 'The Twist' with Chubby Checker. Nobody sees the guy who suggested The Fat Boys do 'The Twist' with Chubby Checker, but after they did it, they got caught holding the bag and looking totally played out."
Even 12 records deep, Afroman continues to focus on novelty rhymes about drugs and sex, like the songs that got him famous.
What: Afroman Where: Q Ball Cafe, 960 Bragg Road When: Thursday, Sept. 30 Cost: $15 Info: 540/548-2799 Web: qballcafe.com

text: Mar20 Andrew HongidentityKorean AmericanSeverna ParkAsian AmericanAPIASFMarylandchemistryAmericanKorean A Catalyst for Self-Discovery By Andrew Hong It was during 10th grade Chemistry that I first contemplated the question of my racial identity. As many of you may know, in chemistry and in real life, there is a form of matter called a mixture, and another called a compound. Both are products of a combination of substances or elements, and to many laypersons (e.g., 15-year-old Andrew Hong), the two types of matter can often appear identical. The key distinction, however, is that while a mixture is a physical combination where each participating material still has its original properties, a compound is a chemical combination where the participating materials go through a chemical reaction and become an entirely different substance. Exactly one decade ago, I learned this in my high school in Severna Park. Severna Park is a Maryland township snuggled nicely in-between Annapolis and Baltimore. It was and still is a cozy, fairly affluent town where families take their sailboats out into the Chesapeake-destined Severn River, neighbors and strangers alike wave to each other in aisles of local grocery stores, the high school's half-suited lacrosse team livens a Subway after a game, and the 7-11 refuses to house a lottery machine because of the values of the community it serves. The diversity of our high school's student body closely resembled the diversity of the overall community: 85-90% white, 4-5% black, 2-3% Asian, 2-3% Hispanic, etc. Needless to say, I was part of a minority; but I was fortunate enough to be a minority in a community where my ethnicity was not only unproblematic, but actually accepted. And so for many years, the question of my identity seemed quite simple: At school, I was American; and at home and at my Korean church, I was Korean. Sometimes, I liked eating hamburgers, and other times, I liked eating kimchi; and altogether, I saw myself as simply the combination of two halves. Read More Permalink

Teenage Jesus last night at 1919. the set was kinda sketchy but then andrew got in his boxers for the last two songs. and we got there like an hour early before even the owner of the place got there and we were just skating. the owner guy got there after all the bands and we got to skate upstairs on the qp. after our set the the main guy at the venue told us he liked the shit out of us, and he wanted us to be a part of them and he'd definitely book us shows and we were welcome to play there anytime we want. that made me so happy man, that's exactly where we want to be.

This is an internationalization bug in 10.3. If you download the source, you'll see that Apple added
to the code as ported from FreeBSD -- meaning that the crucial code doesn't get executed on MacOS. I submitted radar #3473836 for this issue; it's been in Verify state for a while, so hopefully it'll be in an OS update soon.

There are people who changed the course of your life in such a visible way you don't know how much of it you owe to them.
I interned for Hillman as a SVA student studying a completely unrelated field to web design. It was suppose to be a semester long internship, something to put on my resume, and some change in my pocket. But at Hillman's requests, I stayed on, for close to two years.
He was a man of very few words, and I guess I was, too. Each day, we would speak briefly about the tasks at hand, and get to our work without another sound.
There's steely inscrutable silence to Hillman. There's no telling what the man was thinking. He did not preach, and rarely did he instruct. But when he did spoke, it was in a few words, loaded with his thoughts. I would try to unravel each word like clues to a riddle, to get to know the man.
What I learned from Hillman I learned from watching him. I observe his creative process, and made it a template for mine. I see where and when he breaks the grid, and what for. He showed me what it meant to be an artist, and a web designer.
But above all, it was his support that changed everything for me.
I remember two weeks into my internship, I was fetching some equipment in the storage room, and telling Liz Danzico, who was working with us at the time, that I have no clue what I was doing, and how well I was doing it. With Hillman, it's hard to tell his opinion on anything. She said that he liked me, that he thinks I was doing fine.
Years later I was having lunch with an architect friend who shares office space with us. She told me that they talked about me, I asked who, she said Hillman and my co-worker. They think that I am special, that I will do something good.
These episodes instilled confidence in me when I'm filled with doubt. It pushed me to try harder in the face of failures, and made me believe that I can be a great web designer, like Hillman.
I got a chance to thank him last year at the fundraiser for his unfinished collaboration with Stefan Sagmeister, the Happy Film. It is obvious to me that I would not have a career if it wasn't for Hillman, not to mention his numerous recommendation letters over the years.
I remember our last conversation well:
Me: Hillman, I don't want to be the one that have to tell you this, but you need to eat something, you are all skin and bones.
Hillman: Ah, you see, Du, I'm sick. I eat five meals a day but nothing seems to help.
Me: But, you are going to be okay, right?
Hillman: I hope so, but the doctor don't know, no one knows.
My heart goes out to his young children, Jasper and Tess.

Question about timing
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 08-03-2003 - 4:09pm
|Sun, 08-03-2003 - 7:20pm
I am doing my 1st IVF cycle as well, and I started Lupron last Tuesday, so looks like we are very close in terms of timing. One thing that seems different - I don't expect AF to show for a while, I'll be doing Lupron for 14 days, and my RE didn't say anything about AF coming. After I am done with Lupron I'll be starting the stims (either Puregon or Gonal F) for approx. anoter 2 weeks (depending on my response), and then I'll have my retrieval. I am curous about AF, did your RE tell you to expect it or is it just your assumption?
Perhaps we can be cycle buddies? How are you doing on Lupron? I am getting headaches, buh they are not too bad, however noticeable. Otherwise I am fine (I guess I got used to doing injections during my last IUI cycle).
Looking forward to hear from you!
|Sun, 08-03-2003 - 10:06pm
Yes, my RE did tell me I'd get AF. Basically, I started the Lupron on cd21 of the cycle prior to the IVF cycle. They told me I'd get AF at which point I'd reduce to 5 units of Lupron and start Gonal-F somewhere around cd2. The Lupron has been a breeze for me. I love the way it comes all mixed with the syringes - so easy. I'm told that when I start my Gonal-F I can just mix it with my Lupron so I'll only have 1 shot. I'm glad to have a cycle buddy, especially since this is both our first cycle!
|Sun, 08-03-2003 - 10:28pm
I'll be back in a week, and will be checking-in in the meantime.

Check out what I received in the post today! These are the final printed labels for The Alchemist's Cabinet, which Amanda at Anatomy Wines very kindly sent out to me. I was intrigued to see how the purple foil blocking would turn out- they look so lovely up close. I may not be able to test out the wine (due to export laws) but I will definitely stick a set of labels onto an empty bottle and give them their own photo shoot!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The oldest comment on this list can't be further from the truth. I have had one child go through this school several years ago, and currently have another child in this school. While it is indeed an old building, the staff of this school could not possibly be more supportive of their students, or more caring. The teachers go well above and beyond their responsibilities with clubs like "Book Talk", etc. The principal takes ALL concerns very seriously, and I could not be more pleased with her. My older son had some social adjustment difficulties when he was younger, and he received all of the assistance necessary to become a well adjusted young man, who was a high honors student athlete throughout middle school and high school. I directly attribute his success to the principal and staff of Sale3m School. My child who is currently in Salem is given many challenges beyond the classroom, in order to help develop his individual talents. Great school.
I love the teachers at this school! They are pleasant and go the extra mile for their students. I have concerns about the helpers at the school (the paraprofessionals) as I personally have heard them speak down to some of the children on numerous occassions. Now I am not saying all these kids were perfect but I personally wouldn't speak to an adult the way they speaks to kids. I love the school, teacher, and principal. I just wish the paraprofessionals had a little more patience.
I just read the review of Salem School, and other than the description of the building, I would have thought it was another school in another town. We intentionally bought our home in the Salem School district, and have not regretted our decision once. We have received appropriate personal guidance on education and medical issues that have faced our children. I have found the atmosphere to be warm and welcoming. I have been invited to help out numerous times, all with happy results. My children look forward to their day there and I always enjoy the dinner conversations we have about what they did and what they learned that day. I am happy and pleased with their educational achievements over the years. Keep in mind, my children are not perfect, and have had to be disciplined at times, but it has always been deserved and suitable.
I tend to disagree with the last comment posted. For the years I have known not only the school (which I feel I know better than most others) I find that the school is a wonderful place for the children, with a staff that truly cares about the well being, happiness and education of them. As for the principal, I have a high admiration for the manner that she manages the school and her deep caring for each and every student.
Salem School is a cute little brick building small town school, on the outside. On the inside, the principal doesn't take parental comments serious, teachers screaming throughout the hallways, lunch room is set up military style, and they have too many kids per teacher/classroom. My kids have attended this school for 3 years and I am very unhappy with it. But when we approached the principal with our concerns, she played dumb and then didn't take us serious.

Of course I know none of these game will come even though I would love this to happen. However, my loyalty to owning all three versions of Castle Crashers and two versions of Keflings has gotten me nothing, but a great game experience.

What to Include in Your Open Source Resume
maximus1 (970460) writes | about 5 years ago0
maximus1 (970460) writes "If you're selling skills gained in an open source project you have additional opportunities to shine, say experts in this article. But what is the best way to explain your FOSS experience? "Someone stands out because of how they talk about the project," says Zack Grossbart, author of "The One Minute Commute". His advice is to describe the project, and discuss your contributions in detail. "If you were a committer, what did you do to earn that status? What features did you work on? Did you design new areas, or just implement predefined functions? Did you lead meetings? Define new architecture? Set the project direction?"
If the FOSS experience is part of your background but not a shining beacon or job equivalent, it's common to list it under "other experience." Andy Lester, author of "Land The Tech Job You Love" says: "Think of each project as a freelance job that you've worked on. Just as different freelance gigs have varying sizes and scope, so too does each project to which you contribute. The key is to not lump all your projects under one 'open source work' heading."
Good examples are worth a thousand words. Grossbart offers up his resume as a sound, but not perfect example that includes open source experience. (Note: The resume is at the bottom of the article on how to format your resume.). What resume techniques have worked for you?"

A fresh-faced and makeup free Kate Gosselin showed off her taut mother of eight abs as her ex-husband Jon Gosselin picked up their kids in Pennsylvania this weekend.
In Kate's case, divorce really does the body good.
It's amazing what surgery will do for ya...
she looks like she has aged 20 years lol, but still ripped
OF COURSE she can 'stomach' him.....as he drives off with all EIGHT Pain in the asses......NOW she can work out and look like this! Jon was treated like **** for YEARS by this BEOTCH yet people took her side? WTF is wrong with THAT PIX?
Ok, I don't like this woman, but I have to say something here. You CAN'T BUY MUSCLE TONE!!! You can have a tummy tuck to tighten muscle underneath to get rid of the 'baby pooch' and extra skin... You can get a boob job to make boobs bigger, but you don't get a ripped midsection and toned arms and legs from tummy tucks and boob jobs. I know. I had tummy tuck, but do 200-300 crunches or core excersices everyday to get my abs. Tummy tuck had nothing to do with it. The people who say she bought her fitness are just jealous and don't want to put in the work. It's just another excuse to not do anything. The woman works hard to look like that. B**** or not.
Damn! She's ripped
Kate has no waistline...
I guess it would be fashionable to say bad things about her being a raving bitch and undesireable because of all those kids(really, no woman is hot enough that you would take on EIGHT kids) but I would sooooooo like just a couple of nights with that.
she has to stay in shape to try and get on tv.... she is sinking fast ... thank god ! remember she thinks she is a star ? boy, makeup works wonders on this one. ugh !!!
Kate doesn't have a waistline.....
I hate giving this woman any credit, but her stomach surgery was years ago. Obviously she is working out, and hard. This picture makes her appear human and likable. I was a fan when in the early years. Guessing she is working hard to stay in television.
I hate giving this woman any credit, but fact is she looks fantastic. The plastic surgery was years ago. No doubt she is working hard at staying fit. Guessing she wants desperately to stay in television.
Whoa...she looks so different without make-up!
she is only "ripped" and has a hot body because some plastic surgeron felt sorry for her and gave her a FREE, severe, tummy tuck. Guess all pregnant women should get someone to feel sorry for them and then they can have a flat stomach too. I am still a fan of John's. I think Kate is demanding and egotistical.
Since her show is being canceled I would be we will be reading about her upcoming spread in Playboy...soon!! YUCK!
Although Kate's body looks great and can be accomplished after birth, her stomach is absolutely impossible through exercise. Afterall she had 6 kids in there at once. It is common knowledge that she had a tummy tuck. She never denied it. That would maker her stomach tight and flat, the rest is hard work at the gym. Apparently they were able to cut out the stretch marks too. Looks good!

Who am I in a Changing Climate? part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
In my "Global Environmental Politics" course, students study climate change from a range of levels of analysis: local, regional, national and international. As students become aware of the gap between the scientific consensus regarding what would be required to stabilize Earth's climate and actual policies, they inevitably experience varying degrees of anxiety, frustration, and even guilt for their own complicity. Rather than evading these emotional responses, I endeavor to make space for them in the classroom - without compromising the intellectual content of the course or engaging in group therapy. My approach to climate change is informed by my general approach to teaching international relations, which I call "person/planet politics." Rather than seeing the causes of and responses to climate change as merely happening "out there," students are encouraged to bring the material home by engaging with it through minds, hearts and bodies.

Women: Follow Your Faith to Success at Work
- Monday, January 14, 2008
Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Amy C. Baker's new book, Succeed at Work without Sidetracking Your Faith: 7 Lessons of Career Excellence for Women, (New Hope Publishers, 2007).
As a working woman of faith, you have the potential to make a significant impact for Christ in the marketplace. Your work isn't just something you do to earn a living, and you don't have to sidetrack your faith to do it well. If you follow God's lead on the job, you can create a career that will glorify Him while bringing you success and fulfillment.
So approach your work purposefully, letting your faith lead you to real success. Here's how:
Take charge of your career planning. Be intentional about your career rather than just coasting along with whatever happens. Expect that if you own your career and plan it well, you can become more successful, more satisfied with your work life, and increase the significance of your impact on the world around you. Accept the fact that career planning is your job, even if it's not on your job description. Decide that, whatever type of work you do, you'll do it excellently and with the purpose of growing personally and spiritually through your work experiences. Think and pray about your interests and talents, and once you discover them, aim for jobs that you enjoy doing and can do well. Look for opportunities where you can affect God's kingdom through your work. Base your plans on what God reveals to you about His will and timing for your career, instead of the world's definition of success. Pray for the creativity and courage you need to try new things to grow your career. Don't settle for second best; dream big dreams and trust God to help you make some of those dreams come true. Expect God to surprise you along the way. Be most concerned about what you can give rather than what you can get. Aim to contribute to the world in the ways God leads you to do so. Strive to reflect God's love in the marketplace through your relationships with coworkers, customers, and everyone else with whom you interact. As you plan, write down roles you could potentially fill that would use your strengths and challenge you to broaden your skills. Meet with people who do those jobs, and learn what it would take for you to enter those types of jobs. Get feedback on your strengths from people who know you well. If you have a manager, meet with him or her to discuss how you could advance your career in ways that would benefit both you and your company. If you can't grow much within your current company, think about what other companies you could work for, and what specific jobs you could do. Consider meeting with a recruiter or career counselor for advice. Before you even make any job changes, ask God to help you view your current work from His perspective, focusing on its true significance.
Deal wisely with organizational politics. Acknowledge that every workplace – even Christian ones – are fraught with politics, because every group of people is imperfect and prone to political maneuvering. Don't be naïve about the office politics that surround you, but know that you can avoid being drawn in by them. Trust that God will use difficult situations to accomplish something good in the long run. Know that the truth will eventually prevail. Whenever you encounter a political situation, ask God to help you discern whether God is leading you to refrain or to get involved (and if so, how). Recognize that, often, the best plan is to avoid becoming involved yourself and simply pray for the situation and all the people who are involved. But, if God does lead you to get involved, carefully determine how the relationships are connected, what the motivations are, and how you should respond in a way that will allow you to be as successful as possible given the circumstances. Recognize that certain things are out of your control; don't attempt to do more than you can or should do. Whenever someone slights or offends you directly, choose to let it go if at all possible and stay focused on doing your job well. Decide to be guided by God rather than by fear, anger, or ambition. Know that if you respond in the power of the strength God gives you, others will notice your faith and be drawn to it themselves. Ask God to use you to shine His light into a dark situation. Write down strategies for keeping your words and actions pure amidst stress, and practice those strategies with faithful coworkers you trust to be your allies even while chaos swirls around you. Constantly pray for God to help you view political situations the way He sees them, so you can approach them from the right perspective.

By Razak Musah Baba
LONDON--Brewer and bottling company SABMiller PLC (SAB.LN) Friday reappointed John Manser as acting chairman, following the deterioration in the health of Graham Mackay.
Mr. Manser was acting chairman for five months earlier this year, when Mr. Mackay took a medical leave of absence to focus on his treatment following surgery for a brain tumor in April.
SABMiller said Mr. Mackay recovered sufficiently to return to his role as non-executive chairman in September 2013, but following a recent sudden worsening of his condition, the board has agreed to his request for a further leave of absence.
The board will continue to keep the position under review, it said.
SABMiller PLC shares closed Thursday at GBP31.80, valuing the company at GBP51.01 billion.

Architect Al Beadle's family home part of Sunnyslope tour
At first, Nancy Beadle was taken aback as she gazed at this home in north-central Phoenix. It was the first house her late husband, architect Al Beadle, designed for his family in Arizona.
Much has changed since he built it in 1954. Today, it features a garage instead of a carport and a curvy red-tile roof — something the famously sleek, modern architect never would have approved.
Initially, the roof made her cringe, but she was all smiles when homeowner Paul Herman greeted her. He ushered her inside, peppering her with questions about what's original.
The house will be on this year's Sunnyslope Home Tour, which features five houses built in the 1940s to 1970s. In advance of the tour, which is open to the public, Herman welcomed Nancy to fill in gaps about the home's history.

Assist and Protect Rohingyas Refugees
Human Rights Desk
The government of Bangladesh should immediately cease its punitive restrictions on international organizations providing lifesaving humanitarian aid to the more than 200,000 Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh, Human Rights Watch said today. The government should also open its borders to Rohingya fleeing sectarian violence and abuses by Burmese security forces in Arakan State in western Burma.

Triple Threats in 2009
Jazzfest offers three concerts an evening
Doug Fischer, The Ottawa CitizenPublished: Thursday, March 12, 2009
Two music legends, guitarist Pat Metheny and R&B singer Al Green, lead a wide-ranging roster of big names booked for this summer's Ottawa International Jazz Festival, the Citizen has learned.
The June 25-July 5 festival's opening and closing nights will also feature groups, led respectively, by trumpeter Dave Douglas and drummer Brian Blade, two of the leading figures in contemporary jazz.
And there will be concerts from the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra, winner of at least one Grammy award for each of its last four albums, and the electric-bass power trio SMV, featuring Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten.
For the younger jazz-pop crossover crowd, the festival has scheduled British crooner Jamie Cullum and bassist-singer Esperanza Spalding.
And for those with longer associations with jazz, there will be a concert from trippy saxophonist Charles Lloyd and a Miles Davis tribute marking the 50th anniversary of the trumpeter's album Kind of Blue.
That show will feature drummer Jimmy Cobb, the last surviving member of the all-star band that recorded Davis's 1959 masterpiece, the top-selling album in jazz history.
Details of the festival's full lineup, including shows for its smaller stages, will be made public April 8. Tickets and passes will go on sale later in April.
In confirming the main stage roster, festival executive producer Catherine O'Grady said her aim for this year's event was to assemble a lineup that was both deep and wide.
"We not only wanted to get a lot of muscle on the main stage, but we wanted that muscle to be diverse," she said.
O'Grady said she also wanted a roster that could match the star power of last year's festival, which included concerts from Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea's Return to Forever, Brad Mehldau and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis.
"Coming off a year like that was a real challenge," she said. "I think we've done it, at least in terms of the depth of what we're offering night after night after night."
For the first time in its 29-year history, the festival will present a series of three-concert evenings -- with shows at 6 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. -- on its big stage in Confederation Park.
The triple-headers will begin on opening night with concerts by Argentine-Canadian accordionist Alicia Borisonik, polished jazz vocalist Roberta Gambarini and trumpeter Douglas, who is expected to appear with his Brass Ecstasy band.
Another three-concert night features jazz 20-somethings -- Juno-winning Canadian bassist Brandi Disterheft, Spalding and funky New Orleans brassman Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews. The festival's closing night showcases an all-star band of young Canadian talent followed by Blade's folk and gospel-tinged Fellowship Band and then Lloyd's questing, spiritual quartet.
For his June 28 concert, Metheny will be reunited with Gary Burton, the vibraphonist who gave the guitarist, winner of 17 Grammies, his first big break in 1974. The all-star quartet also features bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Antonio Sanchez.
Soulful crooner Green performs June 27. He made a much-anticipated comeback last year with his disc Lay It Down, which featured duets with John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae and Anthony Hamilton. It was the R&B singer's first Top 10 album in 35 years and it won two Grammies in February. Green last performed in Ottawa at Bluesfest in 2000.
O'Grady said the festival will feature its usual series: the late afternoon concerts at the Library and Archives Canada; the 8 p.m. improv shows at the National Arts Centre's Fourth Stage; and the late night offerings in the NAC Studio. And for a second year in a row, the 10:30 p.m. jam sessions will take place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, organized and led by Ottawa bassist John Geggie.
Also back for another year are the noon-hour panel discussions organized by James Hale, Ottawa-based writer for Down Beat magazine.
The festival will offer free programming in Confederation Park on Canada Day, a Wednesday this year, a practice started a few years ago when the festival moved its dates ahead to late June from mid-July to avoid a conflict with Bluesfest. The Canada Day lineup, done jointly with the National Capital Commission, is in the works.
Despite the downturn in the economy, all but one of the festival's main corporate supporters, including title sponsor TD-Canada Trust, will be back this year. Only Primus Communications has dropped out, said O'Grady.

- Aaron De Lanty
- Degree: Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Jewelry and Metalsmithing, Peck School of the Arts
- Hometown: Chilton, Wis.
- It's a fact: He started his own laser-cut jewelry and accessories business, Delandtree.
- Emily Mondloch
- Degrees: Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Jewelry and Metalsmithing, Peck School of the Arts; Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing, Lubar School of Business
- Hometown: Waukesha, Wis.
- It's a fact: Look carefully at her work: "My biggest thing is actually leaving tool marks in the final product. I like to leave evidence of the process," she says.
Emily Mondloch and Aaron De Lanty didn't intend to take up metalsmithing. Mondloch entered UWM as a marketing major, and De Lanty started in information technology management.
Then, both found themselves in an Introduction to Jewelry and Metalsmithing class, and they decided to forge a new path.
"That's what hooked me, being able to manipulate things out of metal, because it's this foreign, industrial thing that the consumer can't touch. So I had that 'aha' moment: I can make stuff out of this," says De Lanty, who has crafted everything from an MP3 radio to armbands to monster sculptures.
"Finding metalsmithing – that led to everything," Mondloch says. "It changed my whole life and outlook. We literally can build anything we want, and that knowledge is incredible."
Mondloch decided to add metalsmithing as a second major, while De Lanty switched completely. They were even more hooked once Frankie Flood, an associate professor in the Department of Art and Design, created the Digital Craft Research Lab.
"He's honestly the best teacher I've ever had," Mondloch says. "He will let you turn your idea into reality. Nothing is impossible to him – he wants to try everything."
That infectious spirit infused a summer internship – funded by UWM's Office of Undergraduate Research – with a multidisciplinary group of metalsmithing, graphic design and engineering students who worked together in the Digital Craft Research Lab.
UWM's College of Health Sciences asked the group to design a more effective and attractive device to measure arm spasticity in physical therapy patients. The group created a new device using a stereo knob, inexpensive microprocessor and 3D-printed parts – and for a fraction of the cost of a commercially made product. "It looks really inviting and it actually works," Mondloch says.
Of course, tackling such challenges wasn't always a 9-to-5 task. It was not unusual for Mondloch, De Lanty and their classmates to still be in the lab at 3 a.m., puzzling over a design challenge or trying to get something just right. De Lanty recalls one stint in which he stayed inside the Kenilworth building, where the lab is located, for three days straight. Still, he has no regrets.
"Art school taught me to always be a learner," he says. "And it gave me the confidence to say, 'I don't know how to do that, but I'm going to figure it out.'"
And that's just what he and Mondloch will do when they start their post-graduation internship at Solaris, a local medical textile company. Solaris approached UWM looking for interns to help take its products and manufacturing processes to the next level, and Mondloch's and De Lanty's metalsmithing skills and creative problem-solving will be put to work as the company adds a facility that will allow it to create its own prototypes on site.
After the internship, De Lanty is contemplating getting his Ph.D. in Digital Fabrication so he can eventually teach. Meanwhile, Mondloch thinks she might like to stay in research and development at a company like Solaris. She'd love to help people like her cousin, who lost part of his leg and has yet to find a prosthetic that he really likes.
"I'd really like to get into something that honestly makes somebody's life better every day," she says. "That would be my dream job."

I order pretty much everything online, can't be doing with crowded shops or looking for stuff on shelves when I can do it from the comp
Most mundane stuff has to be the Tesco order every week, that site annoys me. Next place is maybe some Velcro but even that was exciting as I wanted it to hold the amps down in my boot install
The Maple sawdust (from Canada bizarrely enough) was for home smoking mackerel.....
I told you not to ask. It was interesting to do but I hated the taste.

GQ's Fall Style Playbook
Welcome to GQ's fifty-step fall style playbook, where we make dressing better easy, whether you're working at the office, storming into the night, or kicking back over the weekend
Let's start with your business suit. Have you heard that the double-breasted is back? It should be the go-to-player in your rotation. And nobody dominates a DB like Denzel Washington
The double-breasted suit has come roaring back. We see it not so much as a trend but as a staple. Put the 2012 power suit into your office rotation.
Suit, $675 by J.Crew. Shirt, $590 by Tom Ford. Tie, $115 by Ralph Lauren Black Label. Pocket square by Robert Talbott.
