The problem is that you don't know how competent they are, all it takes is a touch of wheels and you could both be thrown into traffic. My girlfriend had a wheel sucker run up the back of her when she slowed for a pedestrian on a crossing, luckily there was no damage to her or the bike, but it could easily have ended badly for both of them.

The MOSStile is made of an ecologic resin base imbedded with natural moss for use indoors. No toxic substances are used in the making of the tile and no chemicals or fertilizers are needed to maintain them once they are installed. Maintenance is practically non-existent and no watering (except for an occasional misting) is necessary. The moss pulls all the nourishment it needs from an environment of at least 50% humidity. MOSStiles should not be placed in direct sunlight as diffuse light or even no light is best for them (great news for those of us who inhabit cave-like city apartments).
Measuring 29.8 x 29.8 cm in size, the modular tiles can be placed in any configuration, as a pattern, as a whole wall or as a single square, circle, rectangles or even the inverse of one of these shapes. Thousands of possibilities exist to create any sort of patterns out of the 12 beautiful colors. Hey, just because you want to be green, doesn't mean your living wall has to be.

is it possible for me to use this type of moss alone? i wanted to make a decorative out of it to place it on my mantle. Thank you
patricepetroff January 18, 2013 at 4:42 pm
so how do the tiles themselves attach to your wall?
katiehandy August 3, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Plenty of misinformation in this comment thread lead me to sign up for an account just to let you guys know the real deal…
I am using this product on a project and am currently in possession of a sq. ft. tile. This stuff is awesome! And expensive!
It is definitely, definitely alive. Reindeer moss is what it's called, which is a type of lichen. At the time of harvest, it goes through a salting process that retards its growth, so it will never shrink or grow again, but will stay alive.
It is grown in Scandinavia on a sustainable farm where the product is trimmed off the top and then placed onto a plaster tile. It sets into the plaster and as long as it is not pulled out, it remains there, alive.
It is dyed with various natural products, like beet juice, to get the vibrant colors, after harvesting.
It requires virtually no maintenance in at least 50% humidity, but I have been spritzing it to keep it soft and moist and bright.
There is one supplier in the US, which is Green Up LLC is Stamford CT. I should get paid for this kind of marketing, shouldn't I?
samatasamant July 1, 2011 at 12:53 pm
i want to use these tiles at my interior site. how can i buy it?
shireen June 20, 2011 at 6:58 pm
OK, i just examined some of the other photos … that does not look like moss. It appears to be a lichen. In the US, it's called "Reindeer Moss" — called a moss, even tho' it's actually a lichen. And the colors they have indicate that those "mosses" were dyed. So this stuff, as pretty as it looks, is preserved. Not alive.
shireen June 20, 2011 at 6:55 pm
Thanks for the response. I was interested in more details … it's a resin base. But I am wondering how the moss is attached to that resin base. Do they grow the moss from spores or starter cultures? Or is it transplanted and attached? What kind of moss do they use? The stuff may grow everywhere in nature, but it's not that straight-forward to cultivate it indoors.
lazyreader June 20, 2011 at 7:57 am
They just said it. They use a resin. Moss has no roots, it'll practically grow on anything. You see it all the time on rocks, exposed mineral soil, disturbed soils, acid soil, calcareous soil, cliff seeps and waterfall spray areas, streamsides, shaded humusy soil, downed logs, burnt stumps, tree trunk bases, upper tree trunks, and tree branches, cracks between paving stones in damp city streets, and on roofs and concrete walls. It doesn't take much skill to grow this stuff on purpose.
shireen June 18, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Beautiful! How do they secure the moss to the growing substrate?

Hotels near Place des Vosges can be slightly more affordable than in other areas of Paris. If you need to find a cheaper hotel near Place des Vosges then you might like to go for Herse d'Or or Practic Hotel. Also near the square, Hostellerie Du Marais is a charming hotel featuring a classical style décor and a great deal of historical charm. Pavillon de la Reine stands on Place des Vosges and offers stylish and modern accommodation with a similar level of luxury. If you'd prefer to stick with a known brand of hotel, Best Western Marais Bastille Hotel is also very close to Place des Vosges.
Featuring some attractive classic hotels, the oldest planned square in Paris is known as the Place des Vosges and is located in le Marais. It is part of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris and was first known as the Place Royale. This was the first project of the royal city's planning and was placed on the site of the Hôtel des Tournelles and its magnificent gardens. Place des Vosges has a brick and stone style of architecture that is very unique in Paris and it features a square design with pristine arcades. Place Royale, as it was then called, was inaugurated in 1612 to coincide with the marriage of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. The square was later renamed in 1799 when the eastern French department of Vosges – home of Joan of Arc – was the first department to pay the new Revolutionary tax.
Besides its historical importance, Place des Vosges attracts visitors because of its peaceful and refreshing garden. This is an excellent place to begin your day if you plan to visit the Marais district. You can combine the visit with a day of shopping in the nearby Rue des Françs-Bourgeois. The Place des Vosges is surrounded by four metro stations, all within roughly five minutes' walk. Numerous popular city centre attractions can easily be reached on foot from here. For example, Centre Georges Pompidou lies to the west and Notre Dame Cathedral to the south-west. Place des Vosges' historical and cultural value is bolstered by Maison de Victor Hugo, which stands on the square's south-eastern corner and is a former residence of the famous French novelist. Several galleries are also located around Place des Vosges.

you should of said "oh really? maybe your the one who needs to stfu or your getting the boot dumbass"I was told not to tell others what to do (by the GM),
Hey everyone, I hope you can help me out a little bit with the problem I'm having in my guild.
I'm not getting on well with the GM - in fact we don't get on at all.
The GM of my guild is a tough person to get on with, he doesn't seem to have fun playing the game - whenever I ask Guildies if they're excited for tonight's raid everyone usually replies positively, unlike the GM who's usual reply is along the lines of "This isn't fun, I just want the guild to finish this content before 4.3". Great. You might guess how positive and happy everyone is after that comment.
Another problem that me and some of the other Guildies are having is with his attitude. He isn't nice. Oh no.
A good example is during our FL raid (this was while I was still on "Trial"), after an item dropped, which I should have gotten according to my roll and EPGP priority, he basically told me to forget about getting any items when I'm on Trial. When I protested, saying that not only did I not received a single piece of loot in 2 weeks (been with the guild for 3 weeks, got necklace of Ryio 1st week as nobody else rolled, 100% attendance), he basically said if i don't STFU I'm getting the boot. I also try to give people heads up on what they did wrong in a fight, for example, waves on Raggy, after saying that someone didn't move out of the wave, I was told not to tell others what to do (by the GM), I was just trying to help out so that it doesn't happen again. I've been in a number of different online communities over the years, mainly Battlefield and CounterStrike, and I have never experienced that kind of immature and rude behavior from the clan leader.
I'm not the one having problems with the GM, oh no, just today I was talking to a Guildie who is considering leaving because of him. Don't get me wrong - I like my guild. I enjoy playing with them and I have fun. However the GM just ruins and undoes all of the positive aspects of it.
I'm not sure if I should stick around or leave, any help would be great!
you should of said "oh really? maybe your the one who needs to stfu or your getting the boot dumbass"I was told not to tell others what to do (by the GM),
Being on some sort of trial period in which you are not entitled to loot is not uncommon. If you don't like things you can always leave. In my guild if some new guy was talking on vent and it's supposed to be quiet they would get chewed out by my GM. My GM is fantastic but he's also not so light-hearted about not progressing. If I were you I would either shut up and deal or leave.
wouldn't that just get me kicked? :s
This is actually pretty standard for WoW guilds. Complaining about loot is a no-no, and most raid leaders don't like other people trying to co-lead with them over vent. Just how the community is.he basically said if i don't STFU I'm getting the boot. I also try to give people heads up on what they did wrong in a fight, for example, waves on Raggy, after saying that someone didn't move out of the wave, I was told not to tell others what to do (by the GM), I was just trying to help out so that it doesn't happen again
Edit: If you wanna form a relationship with a GM, raid time is usually not the time to do so. They're probably extremely busy during raid time. Get to know them outside of raid time.
1. Raiding fun differs. For some it's just to kill some time and may be some bosses. For some it's to make server 1st kill. Seems like you and your gm have different distinction of fun.
2. Loot rules. Some guilds (usually the worst ones with dictatorship model) dont give any loot to trials. And talking about loot while being a trial just shows them that you care more about loot than guild progression.
3."Helping" ppl. There's the raid leader for this. You may just whisper. Any other way it looks like you're trying to show how awsome you are and preventing raid leader from doing his/her job right.
So. All in all, knowing just what you said - it's not the guild for you. You should look for less grim/progression minded guild. Look for more social/light hearted one. Next time try to find all these things out before you'll join the guild and know that's gm = guild.
I feel this is a bit of an unfair statement. Some guilds have simply come to the decision that trials only get loot if it would otherwise be disenchanted or vendored because they have had trials quit as soon as they got a couple of items, thus wasting the items that a member would otherwise have used and kept in the guild for the benefit of the raid.2. Loot rules. Some guilds (usually the worst ones with dictatorship model) dont give any loot to trials. And talking about loot while being a trial just shows them that you care more about loot than guild progression.
Before Cata, I used to play on a different account and character, It was during the start of Ulduar.
I was in a guild that seemed perfect - everyone seemed equally skilled, so we had good progression, while even on progression nights the GM and officers would crack jokes and usually lighten the mood up. As far as i remember, we have never had any problems - GM and members wise. Long story short, I had to quit the game and get on with some other stuff for a bit, when I came back, the guild was no more. Oh and we raided 3 nights a week.
This guild that i am in currently is not going to be server first any time soon. We raid 2 nights a week - Friday and Tuesday (perhaps worst day), and we still haven't downed normal Raggy. Please don't tell me I should look for a guild that is less "serious", as like I said I've been in competitive gaming environments where one minute we're yelling at each other over TeamSpeak, and the next we're making jokes. Don't get me wrong - like I said before, I get on well with everyone in the guild, officers included. Even the person I happened to correct thanked me as they forgot that mechanic.
Sorry, Earthsworn, but the fact that you get on well with everybody exept of gm means nothing - namely gm defines what his/her guild looks like. So what you can do is:
1. To try to understand gm's psycological type and get on with him well. He seems too grim and tough to you? Know that you seems too talkative and overreacting to him. And so on.
2. To take all ppl you like and create a new guild. But be prepared that ppl who were against gm in private channel would be totaly not in guild chat.
3. To look for another guild which suits you more than your current. The patch is coming, you're not too deep in FL - so what's your loss?
@ Fetzie
Guild rules are guild rules - if you joined the guild you've agreed with the rules. Every guild is different and there's nothing to talk about. But, I for one, consider such loot sharing to be unfair. If a trial was participating in the kill - he's got the right for loot like anybody else. Otherwise your trials feel not like part of the team but more like slaves or exiled.
But a trial isn't really part of the team. They become part of the team when they are promoted to "raider" (or whatever the guild calls the rank). The point of a trial period is to give the guild time to decide if they want the newbie to stay in the raid (and to give the newbie time to decide if they want to stay). If I don't know whether a player will still be with us in three weeks time, I'm not giving him/her an item that a raider who has been with the raid for months or years really needs.
Obviously, the GM's grumpy because he has a splitting headache from banging it on the elementium wall known as Ragnaros for who knows how long before you joined. That can really play merry hell with someone's morale. If you know you can be "that guy" that pushes the guild past regular Ragnaros and into heroic, SHOW IT! I'm not saying they're right to be rude, just that it's totally understandable.
Loot issues: I tend to agree with Fetzie on this - If it's going to be sharded by the core group, but the fresh fish can upgrade and be more helpful, new booty gets a new piece of gear. Otherwise, you're SOL. That's how I would run a guild myself, regardless of loot system. I would have the decency to explain this when you joined, and again if an issue came up. It would also be in whispers, without threats.. or entertaining further objections.
Trying to help the team: Just do so in whispers, kindly. That way when the GM reams their corn hole for eating waves they don't feel like they're catching it in both ends.
Threats to /gkick you: Either take it in stride at the time and approach the GM later in whispers calmly (maybe even apologetic if the guildies are that awesome) or tell him that there's no need for threats, thank him for the opportunity, and dip out. It's ok to have negative feelings (ie: That guy's a dick!) but don't pop jaw about him on your next app or in trade chat and create useless drama.
The likelihood of starting a new guild if you leave: It sounds like poaching, AKA a punk move, because it is.. but ask the other guild member that's already mentioned leaving if they would like to help start the new guild. Discuss the guild's focus, loot rules, etc THOROUGHLY before even grabbing a charter. Perhaps even before typing /gquit.
I'm way better at holding my liquor than a panda.
It isn't necessarily a bad GM or a bad guild. Everything is a matter of your own perspective.
It's a bad GM for you.
It's a bad guild for you.
That's all it really comes down to. Not everyone in the game is going to get along. It isn't our (the community's) place to pass judgement on you or the GM or the guild because it has nothing to do with us. You don't have to put up with them and they don't have to put up with you. If you don't belong there, leave. And this is why you have trial periods, not everyone works out. It looks like you will not work out for them and they will not work out for you.
In regard to rules...
Once you click that "Accept" button to the invite. You agreed to the rules. End of discussion on that matter.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
@charon, we've been on raggy for 2 weeks - not more.
@Quinafoi - i've talked to him more since the raid and we've started to get on much much better, the trial thing was a one off like i said
@ Fetzie, Charon and Exiledknight
I see you point guys very clearly. And you know what - you all are totally right.
We are talking about 6/7 regular mode guild. It's sure not the best place for loot council. A casual raiding guild with hardcore rules just makes harm to itself. And the same stuff can be done in different ways. Saying "No loot to a trial" you kill the morale and put trials aside. Saying " Loot's shared according to our loot system" you give trials team spirit right away, will to come to raids to get more points and some perspective and goal to go to. Any system - DKP or anything else will do. Just tune it in the right way so that precious loot will never get to those hated and useless trials who leave anyway next day they get Tier shoulders.
Keep in mind - we play with human beings and they are a bit different from machines.
@ Earthsworn - Well, glad you seem to have gotten things resolved with the GM, and hopefully you made the team. Also, the raiding/wiping, and just now having taken a few shots at Rags could have produced the grumpy mood, especially if it isn't a new guild.
@ Icebreaker - Obviously our definition of casual differs. In my eyes, attitude is more the determination than the progression attempts.
Hardcore: "We aren't giving up on this boss until our eyes bleed or he's dead. Yes, the verbal beatings will get worse if you keep standing in fire."
Casual: "Ha! You stood in the fire again, tardo. What do you think guys? Call it for the night, repair, and go do something else? Or should we take a couple more shots at this?"
Also, I stick by my loot rules stated above: If it's just gonna get sharded and the trial player can use it, enjoy! if an already established player can use it, they get it for main spec. I'd rather gear a trial's main spec than anyone's off set or put a shard in the guild bank.
I'm way better at holding my liquor than a panda.
I think the main point is this. A guild wants raiders that show up each and every week. They don't want raiders who are loot whores who care nothing about the guild. So it's simple. For a few weeks they don't take new members that seriously. After 2-3 weeks if the new person showed on time, seems cool, and stays relatively quiet most new members gain status and then can get loot. If you are new and bitching about things then you don't get it. Most guilds and GM's will stay very focused on progression even if not all of the members are that concerned about it. All GM's don't want to lose those members that are good raiders who actually do care about progression so they cater to them.

Cancellation of European Tour
Godsmack announced today that due to continued vocal issues with singer Sully Erna, the band are forced to cancel the remaining dates on their currently scheduled European tour. Erna was examined by throat specialists in the US yesterday and the advice of his doctors has been advised to not sing for the next several weeks to allow time for his vocal chords to heal. The current tour marked the first time the band had toured Europe in nearly nine years, and the band were only able to perform two of their fourteen scheduled dates in Europe.
In an e-mail from Sully, he writes:
"Sorry Europe. Seems like we can't catch a break there lately. London you were one of the best crowds we've played to in a very long time.... Belgium, you were awesome as well. As for the rest of you in Europe that we weren't able to reach, I promise you we'll be back!! For now it's lots of rest and fluids for me until my vocal specialist clears me to sing again. My deepest apologies Europe! You'll see us again. Thanks for your support and understanding."
I'm very sad to hear this. I've been looking forward to seeing you guys i Hamburg.for so very long.
I hope you get well soon, you guys deserves the best cause you are the best.
I will be sending all my healing energy your way Sully,
I hope youll come back soon and kick some europe ass.
Stay safe everybody. YOU STAND ALONE, WORLD ;-)

The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum scored about a quarter of a million dollars in grants from the state this year, and as YNN's Andrew Sorensen tells us, they plan to use it to step up to the plate of the digital age.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- It's the dead of winter, and definitely not baseball season, but a few people are still sharing the stories of the game. Eric Schlapak said he was, "Stopping in because my son Alex loves baseball and so do I."
"I think it's cool, I mean, I never got to see them in person, and I like being able to see them on the wall and around here," his son said.
Alex Schlapak, 12, and his dad drove to Cooperstown from New Hampshire to get a look at second basemen and outfielders - Alex's favorites.
But the Baseball Hall of Fame is getting ready to take a swing at a $1 million project that might bring that experience a little closer to home. "In 2013, we'll begin the foundational process to digitize the collections of the Baseball Hall of Fame," Senior Communications and Education Director Brad Horn said.
Horn explained they'll be scanning the Hall's artifacts in 3D and putting them on the Internet.
"It's less about scanning an object for a 360 degree experience as much as it is curating it for an online experience," he said. Because the Hall of Fame has so many artifacts, and many of them are too fragile and too old to handle, there are a lot you don't get to see. But many of those items will be available with this new program. "We have three million items or pieces in the library," Senior Director of Exhibitions and Collections Erik Strohl said. "A great end goal might be to allow people to actually play with our collections online and curate their own little online exhibit."
It not only expands what you get out of the museum, but Strohl said it helps them keep these stories alive longer.
"It'll also help preserve the items right? Once you have it digitized you don't need to touch it as much," he explained.
For the Schlapaks, they say nothing replaces a trip to the Hall, but the new material will work in a pickle.
Strohl says they're still in the first inning of the project, but it definitely is a game-changer.
The Baseball Hall of Fame plans to start putting two dimensional items online next year, and then work up to three dimensional exhibits.

WASHINGTON - Retiring Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis had it all wrong with the use of his "no weapon" phrase recently. Not because it's out of context, but because he worded it incorrectly.
What he should have said is "new weapon." And his name is Joe Flacco.
For the second season in a row, we had a guy sit down in an interview and tell the world he's elite without the resume to back it up. And for the second time, that quarterback was mocked for it, and ultimately got the last laugh once he went about proving his elite status over the course of the season en route to a Super Bowl title.
Last year that was Eli Manning. This year, it's Flacco -- who only went out and threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns in the Ravens' 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Not only did he outduel the red-hot Colin Kaepernick, but there was no doubt he was the best quarterback on the field. It took a ridiculous 34- minute delay in the third quarter to stop Baltimore's momentum, and even then Flacco didn't do anything that would cost the Ravens the title (he finished the playoffs without throwing a single interception).
Truthfully, the Ravens had many heroes in this game. Playing in his home state, Ed Reed had a key first-half interception. Ray Lewis was credited with seven tackles in his swan song. Anquan Boldin muscled his way to six catches for 104 yards and the game's first TD. Jacoby Jones had what could very well be the game of his life.
In fact, you could argue that Jones, a New Orleans native, should have been the MVP of this game. He set a Super Bowl record with 290 total yards, which included a 56-yard touchdown on offense and an NFL-record, 108-yard TD on a kick return (it also goes down as the longest play of any kind in Super Bowl history). Typically, that kind of performance would garner MVP honors, but in this quarterback-centric NFL, you'd have to do something otherworldly to steal the show from a highly productive QB.
Regardless of whether he deserved the MVP (and I'm not necessarily saying he doesn't), Flacco silenced his critics in New Orleans. You can no longer ask if he can win the big one. You can't debate whether he can lead this team. In fact, with Lewis gone and Reed perhaps going, he's going to be the face of this new age of Ravens football. He can walk into his contract negotiations with his hat to the back, knowing full well he's proven his mettle.
In addition to doing a solid to all big brothers everywhere (myself included), John Harbaugh also proved in beating little brother Jim that he's an elite-level NFL coach. He had his team ready to play and managed the game well, even with the long delay in the third quarter.
Speaking of which, that 34-minute Superdome power outage was one of the most embarrassing things to ever happen to a Super Bowl city. Regardless of the reasons behind it, it made New Orleans look unprepared and ill-equipped to handle the biggest sporting event in the country. There's a good chance that's the last Super Bowl we see in the Crescent City for a good long while. But I digress.
I'd be remiss if I didn't tip my cap to the Niners, who used a 25-6 run after the power outage to get back in the game. They showed heart, and the ability to go toe-to-toe with anybody in any situation. They're almost destined to be back in this game again (although, we said the same thing about the Packers two years ago, and we're still waiting for them to even get close to returning to the Super Bowl).
Baltimore earned this. They overcame long odds, death and an assortment of injuries to win their second Super Bowl title. And in the process, they established themselves as one of the great organizations in the league, rife with great leadership and a few good, young building blocks for the future. It wasn't pretty, but it was effective. The Ravens were almost on the wrong side of the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, but in the greatest of ironies, the defense had a goal-line stand at the end of Lewis' final game to clinch a championship.
That's fitting. And that's Ravens football.

Home Hospice reviews in Harahan
my father-in-law had to run out for appointments or errands. I would highly recommend this service if you are considering hospice for your loved one. "
Overall I was pleased by the service. The service providers were very nice & treated my mother very well. They would call me frequently with updates & observations as I had requested. My only complaint came at the end of our journey when we needed them most. It became apparent that the end was very near and my mother was in pain. The nurses at the health care center called and asked for a hospice nurse to be sent. She would be the one that could order the pain meds for my mother. There were weather complications and the nurse took about three hours to arrive. She phoned in the order for the meds to be delivered and left saying they would be delivered "STAT". The pharmacy was 45 miles away and the delivery took another 3 hours! All this time my mother was in agonizing pain! In summary, my complaint with the company is not with the personnel but I feel that they overextended themselves. I found out too late that all the health care providers that work for this company live in the Oklahoma City Metro area while we were needing service in Noble. The distance was not a problem on a day to day operation, but it WAS a problem when we needed services right away. I think overall that this is a good company delivering wonderful service to those employing them in the Metro Area. I DO NOT recommend them outside the Metro!"
I would highly rate them in every category. The nurse who was in charge of my husband's care was extremely knowledgeable, very caring, and gentle. She explained our options to us very carefully and was very supportive."
We were, and are, so grateful for and helped us through the most difficult time in our lives. Three of the staff stayed with our family the day my husband died. I would encourage anyone dealing with a terminal illness to bring hospice in earlier than later and I highly recommend "
The hospice was very effective. We can either go the 4-hospice route or the palliative and with palliative we can still receive Medicare services. They only come out once a month. They would come out more if needed which in our case they only came once a month. The case load was extremely heavy so she set the appointment and she did show up on time."
Its a wonderful place, the care they give, spirituality because even people that are not spiritual, when they get that close they get that way. I haven't met anyone who didn't, they will call out "oh God in a min when they need it. They don't walk in with a look on their face that says "oh God, she looks horrible today". We used them because she wanted to come home and be with us and her grandsons. they keep a sign up for volunteers and thats good for families in the grieving process. You don't find any better then those nurses. They will tell you anything you wanted to know and we didn't have to deal with any billing."
They really care and they are consistent. They work hard to assure that he has everything he needs and that he is not in any pain. They work hard to help me to understand. The chaplain and social worker stay very involved and make sure that I am okay too. They will come out in the middle of the night if we need them. The office staff has treated me wonderfully over the phone. If they need to stay with another client, they will call. If there is an emergency, they are here. The staff is very friendly; they are great. They have kept my husband out of pain and they have been able to help me. My husband has a very rare disease that is hard for people to understand. They have worked very well with him and kept him from acting out too much. The billing goes to the insurance. We will use them as long as my husband is alive."

Eastern Partnership Public Administration Reform Panel meeting
13.09.2013 / 16:09
(This article expired 14.09.2014.)
On 26 September 2013, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic hosts another meeting of the multilateral Eastern Partnership Public Administration Panel. Representatives of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine as well as EU institutions and Member States will be among the participants.
The meeting is organised twice a year by the European External Action Service; this time, it will focus on evaluating the primarily training and advisory activities which have taken place under the Panel since 2011, with the help of the European Commission, and on the future Work Plan of the Panel for the period after 2014.
Special focus of the meeting will be the activities at the local government level as the Czech Republic is the leading state within the Eastern Partnership for the local and regional dimension of administrative reforms. The Eastern Partnership is one of the main Czech foreign policy priorities. The Czech Republic has decided to focus on the local and regional level as it considers its transition experience in this area relevant for post-Soviet countries.

"The Wire" is a one-hour HBO drama set and produced in Baltimore Maryland. It was created, produced, and primarily written by David Simon. Each season details a different aspect of the city: drug trade, the port, city government, school system, and the media/newspaper. The show is recognized for its realistic portrayal of urban life, artistic ambitions, and uncommonly deep exploration of sociological themes. It has frequently been cited by critics as one of the greatest television series of all time.
Did you catch the new episode of The Wire last night? Nah man, don't you dare tell me what happened cause I recorded it.

Anastasia Customer ReviewsBest Brow Pencil Ever - 8/22/2014 12:56:03 AM I am over 65 and have very light eyebrows with little hair at the ends. I always used and wore the best makeup and skin care products I could afford during my professional career. Now with platinum/silver hair I use less makeup, but still want a polished look. This pencil is the best eyebrow makeup I have ever used! Looks totally natural after application. I tried several colors with my silver hair and this one is the best!Not long lasting - 8/20/2014 5:27:28 AM I have searched for years for an eyeliner that would not fade after a couple of hours. I thought this might be the one but sadly it is not. I will not be purchasing this item again.Anastasia brow genius - 6/23/2014 2:23:37 PM This product is excellent to keep your brows in tact the entire day without smudging or wearing off. It is a little pricey for the size of the wand and how long it lasts. But a great product just the same.The best I've found - 6/23/2014 6:46:38 AM I have no eyebrows to speak of & have had trouble finding good pencils that will draw on a more natural looking brow. I have dark brown hair, but brown pencils tend to look too heavy and drawn-on, so I tried this pencil in taupe. It has a nice natural hue to it & doesn't look too heavy. Even with my brown hair, it blends well & looks pretty natural. I would recommend it for other women with similar issues of very thin to no brows - going lighter is a good choice. I do wish they were a little lower price, but I haven't found one better for less.Brow color - 4/20/2014 10:58:04 AM This is the best brow product I have ever used...I have used a LOT!Loved. Just One Dissapointment. - 3/17/2014 5:53:56 PM This is a great product. Does not make your brows look like a clown. You can control coverage easily and the color I chose was perfect. The only issue I have had was the BROW BRUSH just snapped off. Possibly just a lemon. I do not press hard and it still snapped. Now, the plus for SkinStore.com I decided to utilize the CHAT NOW option. Great and quick experience. The rep asked me a few questions and in the end my replacement was on its way. NO RETURN NECESSARY. Thank you SS.Perfect! - 1/21/2014 7:11:29 PM I've relied on this brow gel for years to set my pencil or powder, to shape and tame the brow hairs, and to smooth and control flyaway hairs on my head. The clear gel holds beautifully and invisibly, and it lasts until I wash it off. I've tried similar products, but this is the best by far. Highly recommended!!!Three sizes! - 1/12/2014 11:03:44 AM Great sharpener, love that there is a removable ring to accommodate larger makeup pencils. Blade is sharp and works very well!Perfect brow pencil - 12/14/2013 9:19:00 AM This pencil goes on smoothly with minimal pressure, like a soft powder, and blends beautifully with the brush at the other end. I was disappointed at first that it didn't come with a sharpener, but can honestly say i sharpened it for the first time yesterday (with a Chanel lip pencil sharpener) after using it for about three weeks. I expect this will last a good long time - love the finish it gives my brows, and very economical.False promises - 8/14/2013 6:28:37 PM I bought this product hoping to get the claimed benefits, unfortunately it does not help to grow your brows fast nor to fill in the gaps in your brow. I used it as described twice a daily till i ran out of it, and i noticed no improvements at all other than the regular brow hair growth i get without using it. The other thing that i didn't like about the product is how the twister sometimes doesn't dispense any product at all or just pours a lot.

D.C.'s connection to 'Good People'
Andrew Long, actor
Hoai-Tran Bui, special to WTOP.com
WASHINGTON - The curtain opens on a small, dingy stage made to look like a mundane alleyway. It's sparse, gritty and realistic, much like the play that's about to unfold.
Written by Boston native David Lindsay-Abaire, "Good People" is a modern American drama set in South Boston -- or "Southie" as Bostonians call it - where residents live in a tight-knit working class community that is both nurturing and a social trap. The play opened on Broadway in 2011 and is showing at the Arena Stage in D.C. until March 10.
"Good People" follows the story of Margaret (Joanna Day), known to her friends as Margie, who loses her job at a dollar store and must look for a new one to pay the rent and support her mentally challenged daughter. Mike (Andrew Long), an old boyfriend of Margie, has escaped from the restraints of his working-class birthplace to become a successful doctor. Margie appeals to the seemingly better-off Mike, but it opens up a can of worms about their past.
In an interview with WTOP Living, actor Andrew Long -- a performer at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in D.C. -- talks of the prevailing theme of class divides in "Good People" and the difference between "getting out" and "getting lucky."
WTOP: This play is about class constraints, poverty and the like. What makes these issues so timeless and relevant?
Those themes are very prevalent in British drama, and I think that was something that our playwright David Lindsay-Abaire noticed -- he realized that there was a gap between an American aesthetic and a British one as far as that particular topic. And he also wanted to write about Southie, which was where he was from.
The dilemma that the main character Margie is confronted with is losing a job and really needing one. And she goes to someone that she knew when she was a teenager and he "got out," if you will. I was talking to people after the show, and there were a lot of people from the Boston area who were approaching me. One of them grew up there, and she was saying that those kind of prejudices are still so prevalent from the people that are still in Southie, and people from Southie that got out, so they're looked down upon, and the people that do get out refuse to look back. It's still very prejudiced. I think that's what he was dealing with in the play.
WTOP: How do you think this play speaks to the current economic situation in D.C.?
I think the themes of this play are very prevalent in the D.C. community. It's a very highly educated community here. There's a lot of people that are quite ambitious and driven, and some of them may have come from modest means before they got here. And there's also perhaps a divide between the haves and have-nots. There's a kind of a trendy community, and there are people that struggle. Or if you don't struggle, you don't have to look very far to find someone who does, even your own family or your circle of friends. And also the economic climate of today, the economic downturn has made everyone tighten their budgets.
The way things have gone economically, everybody has to adjust. And this play kind of addresses that and makes you look at a situation of somebody that works at a dollar store and really needs that job and loses it, and they're kind of the forgotten ones as far as what that trickle-down experience is when things get rough. For someone who lives check to check and loses that, how do they survive?
WTOP: Did you draw on your British theater experience, like your Shakespeare works, to play the character of Mike in the play or did you draw from personal experiences?
Well, it's always going to be me, isn't it? (Laughs) The interesting thing about Mike -- he has one foot still in Southie and one foot in this kind of Ivy League, Georgetown medical terrain, new lifestyle. And he's firmly planted in both worlds. And if you'd asked him, he thinks he's probably permanently in that Ivy League, Georgetown set. The conversations with Margie kind of slowly drag him back to the Southie world.
WTOP: What was it like working with Tony Award winner Johanna Day, who played Margie?
She's a pro, she's a real pro. She has this woman in her bones. She has a strong stance of who Margie is, and she's got the accent down. She was our leader in the process. She's very soulful and very funny and heartbreaking. She's a wonderful actress.

SA school board prepares to evaluate administrators
The South Adams School Board approved the evaluation plans for the administrators as recommended by superintendent Scott Litwiller. For the superintendent's evaluation, the school board will follow the Indiana School Board Association rubric and plan with the final score being combined by 70 percent Assessment Rubric (board's professional judgment), 10 percent the A-F School Accountability grade as determined by the Department of Education, and 20 percent the superintendent's goals and objectives, which will be determined by the collaborative judgment of the board and superintendent.
The principals evaluation will be based off of the Department of Education principal effectiveness rubric and plan with the percentages being set at 60 percent Assessment Rubric (superintendent's professional judgment), 20 percent the A-F School Accountability grade as determined by the Department of Education, and 20 percent the principal's goals and objectives, which will be determined by the collaborative judgment of the principal and superintendent.
In business news, the board passed a motion regarding the end of the year. They passed the year-end resolution authorizing Becky Biberstein, treasurer, and Litwiller to make the necessary transfers and pay the necessary claims during the final days of December 2012 and beginning days of January 2013.
The board also approved the driver's education program at South Adams. The first course will begin on January 14 and will take place on Mondays from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Another course is being planned for the spring semester. The fee will be $300 for South Adams students and $340 for non-South Adams students.
Upon the recommendation of Litwiller, the board unanimously approved addendums to the contracts of high school principal Trent Lehman, middle school and interim elementary school principal Jeff Rich, and Title I director Michelle Clouser compensating them for extra responsibilities they have taken on due to unexpected resignations.
The board approved Dave Vorhees' request to purchase a generator, not to exceed $15,000, to be used for long-term power outages. The generator would be able to keep the boiler functioning in the winter to prevent the pipes from freezing and the kitchen's freezer running to keep food from spoiling in the summer.
In personnel news, the board approved one retirement and one resignation on Tuesday evening. Diane Wingler, food service director, will be retiring at the end of the school year. Wingler has been at South Adams for 39 years – four years as a cook, one year as the secretary to the food service director and 34 years as the food service director.
Wendy Schlagenhauf, part-time nurse, will be resigning to take a full time position at the Bluffton Elementary School. The resignation is pending approval by the Bluffton School Board to approve her hiring.
In other news, for the second consecutive year, the students from all three county schools will be following the same calendar during the 2013-2014 school year. Litwiller and school board secretary John Mann worked with the superintendents and school board from Adams Central and North Adams as well as teachers to create the calendar for the new school year.
The board approved the overnight field trip request by wrestling coach Eric Myers to take the wrestling team to Westfield High School near Indianapolis on Friday, December 21 to compete in the Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association Team State Competition on Saturday, December 22. They will be returning to South Adams on Saturday, December 22.
Finally, the Tuesday, January 8 meeting will be at 7:00 p.m., with the swearing in of the new and returning board members taking place at 6:45 p.m. in the high school conference room.
