Research on regulation has crossed paths with the literature on policy instruments, showing that regulatory policy instruments contain cognitive and normative beliefs about policy. Thus, their usage stacks the deck in favor of one type of actor or one type of regulatory solution. In this article, we challenge the assumption that there is a predetermined relationship between ideas, regulatory policy instruments, and outcomes. We argue that different combinations of conditions lead to different outcomes, depending on how actors use the instrument. Empirically, we analyze 31 EU and UK case studies of regulatory impact assessment (RIA) – a regulatory policy instrument that has been pivotal in the so-called better regulation movement. We distinguish four main usages of RIA, that is, political, instrumental, communicative, and perfunctory. We find that in our sample instrumental usage is not so rare and that the contrast between communicative and political usages is less stark than is commonly thought. In terms of policy recommendations, our analysis suggests that there may be different paths to desirable outcomes. Policymakers should therefore explore different combinations of conditions leading to the usages they deem desirable rather than arguing for a fixed menu of variables.

New Law Further Supports Our Military Veterans
November 7, 2014
WINDSOR – Hants West MLA Chuck Porter has successfully passed a private members bill which expands the class of veterans who are to be given preference for appointment to the Civil Service. "Our veterans deserve all the support we can offer them," Porter said.
The new definition of "veteran" honours the service of our modern veterans, those veterans of peacekeeping missions, and the Canadian mission in Afghanistan, alongside our veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War.
"Helping our new generation of veterans transition to civilian life through increased opportunities in the civil service is a win-win," said Porter. "The veterans are offered positions they are qualified for and the civil service gets great employees."
School Review
After a comprehensive study, the Government of Nova Scotia has introduced a new school review process.
The new school review process is grounded in a school board's long-range outlook and focuses on public engagement and collaborative action.
Amendments to the Education Act to support and outline the new process were introduced in spring 2014 and took effect on October 17, 2014.

Some of the largest collections of Native American records are for the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole).

Taking clues from our ancestors – exploring where they lived, looking at when they lived there, pulling every bit of information from their records – is key to family history research.

They may not be as flashy or stylish as their high-spending friends, but savers have a sex appeal that's all their own. Here are six reasons to give savers a second look (and maybe a wink).
Sometimes "self-gifting" makes a lot of sense. Just make sure you're not using it as an excuse for impulse buying.
It seems like an easy way to get an extra 10 percent to 15 percent off your purchase, but will applying for that store credit card come back to bite you?
We just added something you're going to like: the best deals available online, listed by category and sortable by how hot they are.
It sounds impossible, but it's true: Being unable to pay a credit card balance or losing your home to foreclosure could result in a big tax bill.
This is an inviting credit card if you shop on Amazon frequently, although the bonus for new users is less than generous.

Last year's event was a huge success. Lots of people, parades, beads and fun for all. This year looks to be an even bigger event with even more chances to catch beads during the parades because the throw zone has been extended to include the entire parade route.
Dave Almond will perform at Fat Jack's this Thursday night.

These super cold temps are messing with the supply to crawfish locally but now two huts will be opened this weekend.
Two crawfish huts are open in Texarkana. Hot Tails Crawfish and J3 Crawfish Shack are now open. This cold winter weather is hurting the supply of crawfish and seriously affecting the prices but it will get better as the season gets rolling. If you want crawfish do not hesitate because you may get to the hut only to find they are sold out.
The Band Autumn City will be performing live 7:30pm tonight at the City Church in Texarkana.
The United Way Gobble It Up Lunch will be at the Cooper Tire Union Hall today from 11am til 1pm.

The low cost spay, neuter and vaccination mobile clinic that is operated by Animal Protection League runs this special every year. It is called Neuter Scooter. This special $5.00 neuter special is scheduled for only one day in February and will fill up fast!
The clinic sets up in Texarkana every other Monday. They perform spay and neuters on dogs and cats as well as vaccinations and other services. Vaccinations and other needs are on a walk-in basis but spay and neuters must have an appointment.

The Government of Canada, in partnership with IBM and UN-HABITAT, have put together a 72-hour online event in preparation for the World Urban Forum, to be held enxt summer in Vancouver. It's called "Habitat Jam" and it'll basically be a, dare I say, jam session about urban issues – poverty, water, sustainability, safety, and business. You can register to participate for free right here.
Habitat Jam Offers Online Discussion of Urban Issues Dec 1-3

At corporate communications firm that I work for as my day job, we helped IBM develop the concept of the…shudder…groan…"jam." Despite the ubermarketingspeak nature of the name, the actual implementation has worked out quite well. IBM has been regularly holding worldwide jams internally as a means of sharing ideas throughout the company to great success.
It's weird to see this aspect of my salary-earning life cross paths with the sustainability nerd side of my life, but I'm really stoked to participate in this…urp…"jam."
Thanks for the post.

This may sound boring but I actually like the final episode the best. IMO it was a perfect ending to a perfect series. I was so glad it ended as it did and wasn't dragged out for like ten series.
My two favorite scenes from that episode have to be the last scene, when Aang and Katara hug, and it begins to zoom out, and it's like we'll never know if they ended up together, but then it goes back in and they finally kiss.
My other favourite scene from the episode is when Aang's last chakra is unblocked by Ozai. Just the pure epicness when he's like "come on out little boy, you're about to be-" and then Aang just pops out in the Avatar state and it's like "you really fucked up this time, Ozai."

Greetings. Well, I'm 19 and adopted from Southkorea. I've lived in DK since I was 8 months. I'm going in Senior high school and got one year left.
I live on a farm with my parents and my older brother. We even have cows, what do you say to that huh? Jealous? :p
Um, I've played many instruments in my past, but right now I only play for fun on my piano and guitar.
I spend to much time drawing what's going on in my head - and trust me, it's not all just pretty things ;p
Also, when I'm at school.. or, actually, just in all - I use my time watching anime on my laptop, since it's the best thing that I know of :)
More to come.

September 28th, 2014
Poor Brynja is having a rough time adjusting to the kindergarten life. After her three very successful years at pre-school, we didn't anticipate her having many difficulties with the new school, and indeed, she had been looking forward excitedly to the new milieu for a good many months before she started at "the big school" a little more than a month ago. Change is always hard, of course, but after just a couple of weeks we realized that what she was facing was more than the normal growing pains.
The crux of the problem, I think, is a serious personality conflict between her and her teacher. Readers who know our girl are already aware that she has no little amount of stubbornness in her, and I'll be the first to admit that it takes a special sort of finesse sometimes to get her to go along with things. Her teacher, for whatever reason, is either unable or unwilling (or perhaps some combination of these) to employ that finesse, and the result has been an unhappy and uneasy six-year-old.
According to the prevailing system here in Sweden–which I normally think is a good one–she'll have the same teacher for three years, which means that this isn't just something to be got through for a short time. Two or three weeks ago we approached with the principal the idea of moving Brynja to a different classroom with a teacher we're familiar with and are confident would be a much better fit, but so far we've been met with resistance. I talked with the teacher early last week and we traded some ideas about how we might fix the situation, but I am not at all convinced that it can be fixed to all of our satisfaction.
Not getting the answers I wanted, I turned things over to Olof, who has arranged to meet with the teacher face-to-face this coming week. I expect he'll be more successful than I've been, being both a native Swede and a man. (I hate that the world works this way, but I can't deny that it does.) Further, that stubborn streak in Brynja comes directly from him, and I've yet to meet the person who's managed to sway him once he's got his back up about something. Here's hoping, then, that once he's got to work here, Brynja's days in that classroom will be numbered.
September 21st, 2014
It's been a while, I know. This past week has been very busy for me, in a good way, and I haven't had much time to sit an organize my thoughts into a coherent post.
I had thought that when school started up this fall I'd be much less busy than I'd been for the past two years, but happily it hasn't turned out that way. I have to give a big shout-out to the Research Node in Early Modern Cultural History at Uppsala University, which takes a genuine interest in finding and creating opportunities for us members, even when we're "between projects", as I am now. Last week I spent a few days in England as a representative of the node at a conference concerning travel and the country house, and next month I'll be working in Stockholm as a host for a conference titled "Visualising Difference: Objects, Space and Practice in Early Modern Europe". These conferences are helping me keep my head in the game, so to speak, and the occasions to network and encounter new ideas are invaluable. Neither of these opportunities would have come my way without the engagement of the node and its research director, and I am very grateful not to have been cast unceremoniously into the wind after my thesis was defended.
It's been especially good for me to get my thinking cap on now, as it's time to apply for Ph.D. positions. The two I'm looking at now are in Uppsala and Stockholm. The competition is going to be stiff — off the top of my head I can think of at least six or seven other people who will submit strong applications, and there will surely will be applicants I don't know as well — but I'm trying not to discourage myself. I've been working on my proposal (for now mostly in my head), and I feel confident that I'll have a solid research plan to send in with my application next month. Still, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't daunted. My classmates and I had hoped that there would be more positions available than just the one at each university (these aren't the only positions in Sweden, of course, but I'm rather limited when it comes to travel and relocation), but you've got to work with what you've got. In any case, I remain cautiously optimistic, but it's going to be a long three months until December when the offers are made.

Anybody who knows my husband will not be surprised to read that he harbors strong feelings concerning matters technological. He's fervent in his anti-copyright stance, fully committed to open-source programming, and a proud member of Sweden's Pirate Party. Our home is a no-Microsoft, no-Apple zone (apart from Lydia's personal devices–a parent's convictions hold minimal sway over an adolescent's eagerness to follow the herd). Our computers are Linux machines on which our kids play Minetest rather than Minecraft and, apart from two ill-fated ventures to the darkside of Sony Ericsson, our mobile phones have always been Nokias.
I have loved my Nokia phones, particularly the 808 Pureview that I bought at its release two years ago and recently replaced with a new one of the same model. The camera is every bit as amazing as the ads claimed, and it's a good performer all the way around. A couple of months ago, however, I found myself increasingly annoyed by the fact that, being neither an iPhone nor an Android, my beloved 808 does not allow me access to the wonders of Instagram and the like. I can be something of a herd animal myself, and I hated missing out on the mainstream delights of social media on the go.
In July, unable to bear the exclusion any longer, I gave in to peer pressure and bought a cheap Samsung Android. My Nokia is still my main phone, from which I do all my calling and texting, as well as the bulk of my picture-taking, but the Samsung lets me participate to a much larger degree on Instagram (we do have a USB-Android stick that I could use from my desktop, but that, of course, took the "insta" right out of Instagram). It also gives me good access to Facebook and Twitter when I'm not at home, and I've even been known to send a snap now and then to my two Snapchat friends.
So, all things considered, I'm satisfied with my foray into tech-conformity, even if my husband finds it a little ridiculous. If forced to choose only one of the phones, I'd stick with the Nokia–no question–but it's nice to have more options now. Feel free, if you'd like, to follow me wherever you can find me (I'm beverlyrevelry everywhere), and I'll be happy to return the favor. When playing conformist, after all, one can never have too many fellow travelers.

Brynja took this picture of Yrsa this afternoon. I love everything about it, even Yrsa's dirty face.
September 5th, 2014
Like all of my daughters, I had a head full of curls when I was small. Also like them, once past those early years my hair was straight as a pin. From the time I was probably three or four until I was twelve, I never had more than the very ends trimmed off, so when in seventh grade I came home from my first trip to the beauty salon with a shoulder-length mass of frizzy, decidedly un-straight tresses, I was forced to reconsider pretty much everything I thought I knew about my hair.
In the years since that first fateful cut, my hair's refusal to lie flat has been alternately a source of pride and wonder and the bane of my existence. I think I would have been happy enough with either truly straight or truly curly hair, but what I was left to deal with was stuck in some ill-defined middle ground — less than curly, more than wavy, and anything but tidy. In my adolescence and through most of my adulthood I straightened my hair by various means neither kind nor especially successful, and the vast majority of days I pulled it back in a ponytail or bun, mostly just to avoid dealing with it.
Some years ago I first heard about the "curly girl method", and though I was intrigued, I couldn't be bothered to devote so much time and energy to something that I figured probably wouldn't work anyway. Plus, the idea of tossing out my shampoo and washing my hair with only conditioner just grossed me right out. Even after shampooing, I seldom used conditioner as it left my hair feeling weighed down and just this side of greasy, so I figured exclusively using conditioner would be a recipe for disaster. Also, I was put off by the nickname "no-poo" for shampoo-free cleansing; I hate cutesy shit like that.
But, but. For whatever reason, earlier this summer I was struck again by the idea of trying to make the most of my curls so I started checking out the web for ideas. The before-and-after pictures of women who'd embraced the curly-girl way of life were enough to make me decide to give it a go. And since it was summer and I didn't have much in the way of social engagements, I reckoned that any disastrous results could be easily enough concealed from the public, so I did my last shampoo wash the last week of July and embarked on what I hoped wasn't a fool's errand.
The first order of business was to examine the labels on all my hair-care products and throw out anything that contained sulfates and/or silicones, find an "approved" conditioner, and dig out a micro-fiber towel (terrycloth is the kryptonite of curly hair, apparently). In the past six weeks or so, I've progressed to ever more advanced tricks including, but not limited to, slathering my hair in aloe vera "sunburn" gel, sleeping with my hair in a ridiculous topknot-type ponytail, and resting my head on nothing but a pure silk pillowcase. And you know what? It totally works. It works so much that more than one person has wondered recently if I'd got a perm, only to react with near disbelief when assured that all this curl is my very own.
And now I leave it to you, dear readers, to be amazed (because, believe me, my poor husband is plenty tired of marveling at my hair):
August 31st, 2014
This last winter Tage decided he wanted to move from his upstairs bedroom into the small room downstairs that had previously been our guest room. This left a free room and before long Lydia made up her mind to move into Tage's old room (which, incidentally, was also her own old room some ten years ago). Before she could settle in, however, she insisted on a total room makeover. Generously financed by my mom, she chose new paint, wallpaper, and flooring, and after a couple of months we've finally got the space transformed.
Yesterday Olof and I spent most of the day putting in the flooring (it must be said that I am being extremely generous to myself in claiming credit; at most I did twenty percent of the work), and after seeing it last night, the girl declared herself quite pleased. I'm pretty pleased as well, but not as pleased as I'm sure Olof is, if for no other reason than that it should be a good long time before he has to spend another day devoted to home decor.
August 26th, 2014
These have been a busy several days for all of us, but at least someone is getting the opportunity to relax.
August 24th, 2014
Appearance aside, they all had a very good first day back at school. In fact, the reason they all look impatient-slash-irritated is that they were so eager to be off and were not gladly suffering my insistence that they stop and pose for a picture. Really.
Yrsa had no trouble at all being at pre-school on her own. As soon as she was in the door she flung off her shoes and jacket, barely taking time to toss a perfunctory, "Bye, Mom" in my direction as she ran in to join the other kids. When I picked her up later in the day, she was in the same good cheer and the teachers said she hadn't been at all bothered by not having Brynja there.
As for Brynja, I stayed with her at school for the first hour or so (that's the norm here — some parents stay all day). She joined in circle time and introduced herself when prompted and had no problem following directions. I think I worry more about her Swedish than I probably should; it's really only her spoken Swedish that's a bit behind and she's understood the language fine for years. When we went outside for the first recess she was a little uncertain about what to do, but once I secured a vacant swing for her she said it was okay for me to go home. After school she could hardly stop talking about her day, telling me, "School was really fun!"
Petra and Tage reported that their days went well also, and their transitions to higher grades seem to have gone off with nary a hitch. Petra was especially excited about starting wood shop this year, and Tage was pleased to learn that he'd gotten Spanish as his language choice. French had been at the top of the list, but apparently there were too few students interested for the school to offer it, so he got his second choice. I don't think he had a strong preference for either language over the other, but he was relieved not to have gotten German. I'm not sure what his objection there was, but I don't mind because my French and Spanish, minimal though they might be, are miles ahead of my all-but-non-existent German skills, so I'll be able to be of some help to him there.
Lydia had a good week, too, but she's not nearly as forthcoming with details as her younger siblings are. So far, though, the new school/program seems like a much better fit than where she'd been for the previous two years. She's already made a new friend or two, and she's pleased with the lunches (which will continue to be free until she's 20, thank goodness. I'd been a bit worried about that at the new school, as 65 crowns — 10 bucks — is a pretty steep price tag for a daily lunch).
Otherwise, not much to report of the week that was. That feels like a very good thing.
August 17th, 2014
All of a sudden, it seems, summer is over and it's time for all of us to get back to reality. My mom left yesterday morning to go back home to Texas, and tomorrow morning at 6:30 Olof will leave on a jet plane for a two-day work trip to Stockholm. A couple of hours later I'll drive Lydia to town for her first day at her new school, then in the evening I'll be attending a parents' meeting for Tage, who's going into junior high this year. Tuesday is the day that all of the rest of the kids go back to school, and all of them will have new and different things to experience.
Yrsa's going to the same pre-school, but unlike her first year there, she wont have her big sister, Brynja, there with her. For her part, Brynja is starting kindergarten, something she's been looking forward to impatiently since she turned six back in February. Petra's going into third grade, and she'll have a new lead teacher after having had the same teacher since kindergarten, and Tage, of course, will have a slew of new teachers, not to mention new classrooms, as he begins sixth grade.
My own plans for continuing education are still uncertain, as Ph.D. openings won't be announced until next month and then there's the whole application process to get through. All isn't completely quiet on that front, however, as in mid-September I'll be joining a few others from Uppsala University in attending a conference entitled "Travel and the Country House" at the University of Northampton in England. A number of papers are being presented, and I'll be choosing six to sit in on. Not only am I sure to learn new things, it will also be a great opportunity for networking.
Mixed in with all of that, Petra's soccer continues strong, with a whole lot of games scheduled for the next couple of weeks, and Tage's violin lessons will start up again soon as well. Brynja may or may not also start an after-school gym program this fall but, honestly, I'll have to see how ragged I'm run by the rest of our goings-on before I commit to that. I think we'll all need at least one day a week when none of us is scheduled for anything.
August 13th, 2014
It's my boy's twelfth birthday today. That completely does my head in and makes me a little sad, I confess. Before he was born I thought I wanted only daughters, but Tage single-handedly made me appreciate the wonder and beauty of little boys. He's still a great kid and, in fact, he gets greater all the time, but I can't help being wistful sometimes for the little boy he was.

Product Information
F-Secure Client Security v9.0
April 01, 2010
$31.24 per license for 100-249
- Features:
- Ease of Use:
- Performance:
- Documentation:
- Support:
- Value for Money:
- Overall Rating:
- Strengths: A solid offering that is easy to use, with pricing in the middle range.
- Weaknesses: None found.
- Verdict: A great enterprise solution that is easy to use with a strong feature set. This one gets our Best Buy this month.
F-Secure's Client Security v9.0 provides automatic, centrally managed, real-time protection against online threats, such as browser exploits, viruses, spyware, riskware, zero-day attacks, rootkits and other forms of malicious code across Windows platforms and Linux distributions.
The F-Secure Policy Manager is comprised of three components: the Policy Manager Console, Policy Manager Server and Policy Manager Web Reporting. The Manager Console provides a centralized management console for the security of the managed hosts in the network. The Policy Manager Server is the repository for policies and software packages distributed by the administrator and for status information and alerts sent by the managed hosts.
The server installation is a simple executable that installs the management components. Once complete, the policy manager can be run from the start/programs menu. The Manager launched in anti-virus mode with options to change to advanced mode for managing other F-Secure products. The complete security package offers seamless integration of several protection technologies, such as anti-virus, anti-spyware, web traffic scanning, firewall, email scanning, intrusion prevention and DeepGuard application rules monitoring. Additional protection includes server queries to a real-time protection network, advanced heuristics, sandboxing and behavioral blocking that work tightly together with signature-based virus protection to offer greater protection against all malware.
Reporting, alerting and logging are all available through the user interface. There is also a web reporting module for easily browsing to basic report information. Alerting is solid, tunable and deliverable via email integration. The user interface is tab-based and very easy to use. User management was handled through either an import from a Windows domain or through polling the network. Creating initial policies was very easy using the editor in the Policy Manager.
Some enhancements added in v9.0 include new virus definitions, update channels and remote quarantine management.
Basic support includes eight-hours-a-day/five-days-a-week phone and email support and upgraded support options are available for a fee. This is a strong product in the malware space.

Troy Non-Profits's Hard Work During Mumford & Sons Festival Paying Off
TROY -- Dozens of non-profit groups are still feeling the good vibes from the Mumford & Sons Gentlemen of the Road Stopover.
Donations totaling $37,436 are being distributed to 60 local groups by Troy Main Street Inc. Jam Productions LLC, the festival production company, provided the funds to recognize the contributions of the nearly 1,700 volunteers who worked the festival.
Over 9,000 volunteer man-hours were worked by the local community to ensure the smooth operation of the festival. We are delighted to provide donations, which are based upon hours served, to organizations that stepped up big time for this event, says Karin Manovich, executive director of Troy Main Street.
Most volunteer groups were non-profits, and other businesses designated non-profits to receive their donations.
Volunteers worked concert set-up, clean-up, security, parking lots, showers, campgrounds, vending food/drink, box offices, wrist-band distribution, ID checking, first aid, and much more. An estimated 40,000 visitors descended on Troy for multi-day festival for the stopover.
Other non-profits raised funds for causes by teaming up with downtown businesses in the concert venue. Sweeney Todd Salon held a Blowing Out Diabetes event in the salon and raised more than $2,800 for Camp Korelitz, a camp for children with diabetes. CISV, a local Peace organization, teamed up with Winans Chocolates & Coffee and raised $1,500 through a pancake breakfast. The Troy Rec Center also used pancakes to raise more than $6,000 to support the services for the youth of Troy. The Troy Band Boosters sold strawberry donuts from the former Night Sky Coffee House and raised $4,000.
Troy Main Street, Inc. coordinated the volunteer recruitment, organization, and management for the stopover, and provided local management for most aspects of the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover.

CD reader important for ripping?
Likes # 0
Posted November 6, 2012 at 12:25AM
Having ripped the occasional track/album over the years I am about to start putting many more CD's onto my computer now I can play back through a decent outboard DAC (Music Fidelity V-DAC 2). My CD reader is a TDK DVDRW880N which I think is about 7 or more years old. My question is will a different i.e. newer CD reader make any difference to the quality of the digital files created. Speed isn't very important to me as I tend to do this type of work as a background task. I am using iTunes to catalogue and playback these CD's.

Posted November 7, 2012 at 12:18PM
If CD reader is in full working order, I don't think it would make any difference. However as it is about 7 years old it's probably time for a new one anyway.

If you use Alla Tour or St Pete's, they issue blanket visas just like the ship's. No fuss at all. We used (not sued ) Alla Tours in June this year and all we did was printed the tour tickets on-line, showed it to Russian Immigration, got a stamp on the passport and a piece of paper stuck inside the passport and that's it!
The ship would like you to think that it is only them that can ofer the blanket visa. Not true. We paid Alla $300 US per person for the 2 days. Small group of 10 in a Mercedes Van with a first class tour guide and a driver. A packed hot lunch on the first day and a sit down lunch on the second day. Bottled water provided. Arranged for Souvenir shopping at 8:30 am so that we don't waste precious time during the museum operating hours. We visited more places than the ship's excursion and paid at least $100 less per person, if not more.
