Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Karun Chandhok will have a Team Lotus trial next week in Spain as he looks to secure a reserve driver role at the team.
Chandhok, who made his F1 debut with Hispania Racing last season but was dropped by the team after just ten starts, is looking to remain in Formula One.
The Indian driver has made it well known that he wishes to join Team Lotus, confident that team boss Tony Fernandes has the right vision for his fledgling team.
And now Chandhok's wish may come true after Fernandes revealed he will take part in the upcoming pre-season test at Jerez.
"We would like him to be reserve driver but we've got to see whether it all works out, that's the plan," Fernandes told Reuters.
"He is going to get a couple of slots in the testing now in Jerez and Barcelona and then we'll decide after that.
"Technical head Mike Gascoyne and team CEO Riad Asmat and everyone else feel he's the right guy to add value to the team."

Ruben Consulting Group Clients
Client Success Stories
Change Management for Major Large-Scale Change Program-High Tech
The Situation
A premier Fortune 500 high tech company grew so fast that it could scarcely keep up with its orders. Each business unit had been operating in its own entrepreneurial silo, capturing customer data that was often incomplete or inaccurate. Their independent data bases didn't communicate with each other, which suited the units that believed the data was theirs.
The company had to function as a single team with cross-functional information sharing. That change would require consistent technology and processes to capture customer data that could provide actionable business intelligence. Behaviors would have to change too. All this occurred in a company that had a poor history of managing instituting change across divisions.
The Solution
After assessing the situation, RCG provided coaching and guidance to the team guiding the change effort and the team that was developing the business solutions. We helped the teams develop an overall change management strategy and communication plan. We also coached them on influencing stakeholders, and developed and implemented a scorecard to measure the involvement of the senior staff who led and influenced the change effort.
RCG successfully transferred our change management methods and knowledge to the client's implementation teams. With little or no disruption in service, the entire company soon embraced a new technology and way of conducting business. More important, the company overcame what could have been a disaster and is still surviving—and thriving—today.
Leadership Team Development—High Tech
The Situation
A cross-functional leadership team for a premier high technology program was having difficulty getting traction. The program that they were leading was one of the company's top priorities. However, their progress was too slow for the timelines the company had set. Team members didn't trust each other and were not uniformly committed to the team's purpose. As a result, they accomplished very little at or between meetings.
The Solution
Through interviews, evaluation and observation, we identified some key areas for improvement. We then designed a series of team development sessions that focused on the leadership and team building skills the team needed, especially decision making, influence and conflict skills. We followed up with one-on-one coaching with some team leaders.
The Results
This work resulted in greatly improved team performance and a successful standardization project. In follow-up interviews, we discovered that team morale and effectiveness had improved, as had the impressions that others had of the team members.
Organizational Audit for New Internal Service Group—High Tech
The Situation
A Fortune 100 high technology company had grown exponentially during the 1990sprimarily through acquisitions. As a result, they had a plethora of engineering tools and processes, none of which integrated with the others. The company, in an effort to cut costs and become more efficient in their operations, decided to standardize processes, tools and procedures. Ruben Consulting Group was called in to one of the divisions where a recently reorganized internal service group was getting poor marks for customer service.
The Solution
We conducted an audit that included a number of one-on-one interviews and focus groups with members of the service group and their customers. The interview data was analyzed and synthesized into themes and recommendations. The deliverable was a comprehensive report by customer group, outlining key themes and recommendations.
The Results
Based on our recommendations, the service group was reorganized again, and customer satisfaction grew significantly.
Cross Functional Team Building—High Tech
The Situation
A major high technology company created a cross-functional team to identify key customer requirements and build a technological solution to meet those requirements. The team included members from the business and technology departments, which had worked independently up to this point. They began the project with little knowledge of or respect for the importance of making their functions interdependent.
Not surprisingly, major disconnects existed and worked against their efforts to develop a solution. As a result, the "solutions" they developed didn't work in the business environment and everyone was frustrated.
The Solution
Through interviews and focus groups, we determined that the two groups had no common goals, no workable communication process, and no process to raise and resolve issues. RCG's report to the project leadership team included the recommendation that the team develop processes that they could own and implement. The team leaders adopted and agreed to sponsor our recommendations.
The Results
The team put processes in place to address each concern. When we followed up 90 days later, we found that the communication, morale and solutions had improved both the working relationships and output of the team.
Large Scale Global Technology Change Implementation—High Tech
The Situation
A mid-size high tech corporation had undergone a series of acquisitions that left it working with incompatible software on various platforms. This made it difficult, if not impossible, for different parts of the company to communicate, share files and collaborate on team projects. However, ingrained cultural differences between business units, employees' comfort level with their systems, and decades of data in systems that were going to be changed made the technology change a challenge. Previous technology change efforts had failed; this one had to succeed if the company was to survive.
The Solution
We conducted a comprehensive and collaborative change readiness assessment with a cross-section of all stakeholder groups. With this information, we designed a strategy for managing the change process and oversaw its implementation. The goal was to help the team mange the change process without disrupting the business.
The Results
Thanks to the thorough planning and strategy design, the company's 8,000 plus employees had moved to the new system within months, with little or no disruption. For the first time, the corporation was able to communicate and collaborate effortlessly, and productivity increased.
Strategic Planning-Retail
The Situation
When a new CEO took over this national retail company, he found that it was not realizing its brand potential. The previous management had offered products they liked, not what the marketplace wanted. While the company had a fiercely loyal customer base, it had no brand or vision of what the company stood for.
The new CEO was hard-driving and was expected to turn the company around quickly. The executive team was divided between "his" people who were new to the company and a few of the "old guard."
The Solution
Collaborating with the CEO, we designed an interactive strategic planning that led the management team through a series of planning processes. At the end of the two-day session, the executive team formulated its strategy, objectives, goals, owners and timelines. They had a clear image of what they wanted the company to be.
The Results
Through this process, the entire organization was able to focus on a common goal. The team left the session with a clear focus and detailed action plans to implement their new vision.
Executive Coaching—Financial Services
The Situation
A young, rapidly rising executive was promoted to lead a new business unit within a financial services company. While he worked well with his boss and the senior executive team, his direct reports complained that he was not managing them effectively. Since this executive was thought to have high potential, grooming him for further promotions was seen as mandatory.
The Solution
We started by meeting with the executive, identifying his goals and aspirations, and then administered a 360-degree feedback process along with other assessments. Based on the results, each coaching session focused on targeting specific developmental needs.
We did a follow-up survey with all of this executive's direct reports. Their perception of him as a manager was completely reversed. His staff functioned much more effectively, and he was given more responsibilities.
Client Comments
"Marcia Ruben played a lead role in the change management aspects of one of our largest technology implementations. She skillfully guided us through an analysis of the real business issues which helped us focus our efforts on the technical solution. Marcia was a true partner, in that she cared about the results of the project as much as we did. Yet, she was always objective, flexible and insightful. This project was successfully completed with minimal business disruption."
Former CIO, Fortune 500 High Technology company
"Marcia worked with us on a very challenging, rapid pace technology implementation. Throughout the process, I found her to be dynamic, upbeat, resourceful and extremely flexible. Marcia's leadership in guiding us through the people aspects of the project was invaluable.

Former Director, Network and Desktop Information Services, Fortune 500 High Technology company

There are many ways to celebrate the 2nd year anniversary. One option is to celebrate it with the memories you have shared already. Purchase a pocket photo album at amazon.com online and decorate it with dozen of your favorite adventures and experiences together for the past 2 years. A couple of notes on how these memories had been special to you as you share it with your spouse will be a great addition to the present. Since, we are living in a digital age, creating a digital scrapbook will be a great idea also. Have it professionally printed, and photos must be in digital form. Have an additional journal of the the qualities that you appreciate most of your spouse and the character that caught your attention, the first day you met.
Another alternative to have it celebrated is to engage in a romantic getaway. A special romantic dinner for two and a night at a hotel will make your second anniversary a truly special occasion. And if resources are not a hindrance, you can have an extended vacation cruise. Have a weekend travel package and enjoy the same time as you have your honeymoon.
Traditional gift ideas for 2nd year anniversary are cotton. Mostly, huggable pillows and stuffed toys are common presents. Online stores such as the agiftpersonalized.com have an array of choices as this stuff. They offered it to be personalized to have a lasting memory. On the contrary, just because its tradition, it must be done. You can still have the choice of trying other non-traditional ideas that can potentially have that big impact. Try having games that involves teamwork as pair. It could be fun and at the same time, it's a casual way to celebrate marriage anniversaries. Besides, no budget is required, so its cost saving.
Finally, when planning what manner of celebration in a second year anniversary, take into considerations the interests, personality and your financial status as well. If there is lack of resources and the money is tight because of some circumstances like having a new baby or perhaps a recent move of the house location, something more casual is recommended best activity. If a surprise party is carried out according to plan, make sure that a good and justifiable excuse must be made to get into the event. And if an outing or getaway will be done, make sure, you'll book early to avoid any hassles.

I live in Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood in a
100-year old leaning 3-flat with my partner Scott, my 8 year-old daughter
Annabelle and my 6 year-old son Meka. For the past 11 years I have been working
on a gigantic mosaic project covering much of my back patio. Nearly every inch
of our house is painted, tiled, covered in quilts or otherwise adorned. My
interests included handmade homes, gardening, reading mysteries, any kind of
crafting and community advocacy.
For 11 years I taught arts and crafts to children and adults
at a small Chicago storefront called The Ukrainian Village Children's Center. I
now share the space with 15 families and we are running it as cooperative
community play space where members put on classes for one another, share skills
and try to build community. I have broad experience
teaching arts and crafts, whether it is the traditional skills like
needlepoint, soap making and paper mache or more far-out topics like Pirate
School for Boys and Girls.
I recently released an eBook called Summer Nature Crafts
that is available for various reading formats like Kindle and Nook. Recently I
started publishing phone apps featuring simple crafts for families and adults.
So far I have put out "Nativity
Clothespin," "Soap Made
Easy," and "Family
Beach Fun." You can see some of the things that inspire me on my pinterest
board: http://pinterest.com/shboone/.
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and spent part of my
summer in Northern Michigan in a cottage shared with a bunch of cousins and
aunts and uncles. Now I stay in the same cottage with my own family and enjoy
the same crafts I did with my mom growing up. Apart from teaching children
useful and entertaining skills, I think crafting is an important skill to share
with your family because it helps demonstrate the value of handmade
craftsmanship over mass-produced products, and it allows you to spend time
together as a family learning new skills together without resorting to TV,
video games, or structured activities.

A new production of "The Glass Menagerie," a Tennessee Williams classic, opened on Broadway Thursday night. NY1's Roma Torre filed the following review.
I've seen quite a few productions of Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie," and yet, this one stands well above the rest. It retains the haunting resonance of the great classic that it is, and yet, it possesses the originality of a never-before-seen work of art.
The production, conceived by director John Tiffany, who made his distinctive mark on the musical "Once," takes a similarly stylized approach. Blessed with a collective vision that includes exquisite scenic and lighting designs, there is a refreshing clarity to this 70-year-old play.
And as in "Once," choreographer John Hoggett turns the actors' movements into evocatively symbolic gestures. In a memory play that's meant to be almost dream-like, the surreal touch is inspired. As the iconic Amanda Wingfield, Cherry Jones sets a new standard, at once both a force of nature and a doting mother desperate to protect her children. In this brilliantly grounded performance, her gilded memories of countless gentlemen callers are not so easily dismissed as the delusions of a woman living in the past. And suddenly, all of Amanda's contradictory motives make perfect sense.
Zachary Quinto is equally sublime as Amanda's frustrated son Tom. We ache with empathy for the poet burning to express himself amid the mundane, life-crushing realities of family responsibility. Celia Keenan-Bolger's sweetly pathetic Laura, is revelatory as well. And in that brief moment when she blossoms in the company of her gentleman caller, a collective amnesia sets in as we somehow forget a tragic end awaits.
Too often, stage classics are handled, much like Laura's glass figurines, with extreme delicacy. Not so this Glass Menagerie. John Tiffany's bravura staging turns the revival into a re-discovery. Then again, this incomparable crew wouldn't need much more than a bare stage to create the kind of theatrical magic so vividly on display.

In general, extreme swings from hot to cold or dry to wet are harmful to your piano. Dryness can cause the piano's pitch to go flat and the sound board to possibly crack; moisture makes the piano sound sharp and may cause the keys to stick. Repeated swings in relative humidity can create distortion of sound and unnecessary creaking. Talk with your piano technician about the necessity of a humidifier for your location. This does not have to be expensive and will save you money in the long run.

New pianos for beginners?
At his piano lesson, the student is taught to listen carefully to his music and play with a beautiful sound. This is much of what makes it a rewarding and highly valued life experience. If he goes home, and the instrument makes it difficult to achieve these goals, he can become frustrated and discouraged in his practice, and at future lessons.
How can I improve my kids practice?
One of the best ways a parent can help is to ask the student to explain and demonstrate what is on the assignment sheet — not for the purpose of supervising or checking on whether or not the student is doing it correctly, but just to understand what is going on at the lesson.

Well said. Thank you.
It's funny, but I've never met anyone who listens to Piers Morgan as a source of information. Pick a random 10 people on the street and ask them if they know the name and you may get two who say yes. Heck, the guy couldn't even spot a potential star on America's biggest talent show.

Hey folks, I'm leaving town for a week and won't be able to blog, but I'll leave you with my story that ran today about Citrix and DataCore working together to encourage more companies to use their virtualization products. And visit MiamiHerald.com Tuesday to catch my next video review, which I'll post here when I return.
DataCore Software, which sells software to help businesses manage storage of data, announced Wednesday it teamed up with fellow Fort Lauderdale tech company Citrix Systems.
Companies that use Citrix's virtual server tools can now try out DataCore's virtual storage software for free.
Virtualization is a hot topic because it can help growing companies cut information technology costs by using existing resources, instead of buying new hardware.
Citrix offers ways for a business to run many computers off one computer, so to speak. The user doesn't notice any of this -- it's all done behind the scenes so every worker has the same user experience.
But when you put all your eggs -- or in this case, several work computers -- in one basket, and that basket crashes, you can lose a lot with one disaster. There needs to be a way to have all that data stored someplace safely. DataCore has software to do that.
DataCore CEO and president George Teixeira said a big hurdle for Citrix customers was the cost to store that data.
"A company that wants to go to virtualization might get excited, they might see a cost savings," Teixeira said. "But when they go to buy the storage, they find the cost is actually high.''
He said storage hardware equipment costs, on average, $100,000.
DataCore's software, which uses a company's existing storage equipment through virtualization software can cost a company about $20,000.
The recession has not crushed Citrix. Last month, it reported that second-quarter revenue was nearly flat, at $393 million, but profit grew 22 percent to $43 million.

North America 2050: A Partnership for Progress (NA2050), facilitates state and provincial efforts to design, promote and implement cost-effective policies that move their jurisdictions toward a low-carbon economy while creating jobs, enhancing energy independence and security, protecting public health and the environment, and demonstrating climate leadership.
This initiative is a unique opportunity for states, provinces and stakeholders from across North America to work together, learn from one another, share resources, and make progress on important and timely policy topics.
The participating states and provinces have identified a number of areas for collaboration that are not being addressed by other multi-jurisdictional efforts. This initial list is the starting point for the effort and is not meant to exclude other topics the participants might decide to work on together in the future:
- Evaluating and Communicating the Benefits of Moving to a Low-Carbon Economy
- Influencing and Preparing for U.S. Clean Air Act Requirements for the Electricity and Industrial Sectors
- Encouraging Industrial Energy Efficiency through Benchmarks
- Encouraging Sequestration and Reuse of CO2
- Examining Best Use and Priority Pathways for Biomass
- Developing High Quality Offsets
- Exploring Linking of Existing Programs
Working groups have been established for each topic area, and are comprised of representatives from states and provinces who participate based on their needs and interests, as well as stakeholders who are invited to contribute their expertise and input.
More information is available at the newly designed NA2050 website, located at www.na2050.org. NA2050 participants will use this website to share information, resources, and knowledge with participants and stakeholders. This website features content about NA2050 and will be updated on a regular basis.
NA2050 will also provide regular updates to keep stakeholders informed about working group progress, news, and events. To receive future updates and communications from NA2050, sign up here for our mailing list.

Candidates for APA President
Q3. How do you see science and practice informing one another? Specifically, as national health care increasingly moves toward treatment guidelines, how might the science and practice communities work together to develop guidelines appropriate for psychology?
The scientist-practitioner model is superior for designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating field trials for empirically validated treatments from which the practitioners' wisdom can derive reality-based standards and treatment guidelines. Practitioners must be prepared for and engage in:
Prevention, crisis and tertiary programs, and
Dealing with public health issues (epidemics/pandemics, natural disasters).
Science and practice should seek conceptual and factual integration, requiring open-mindedness to the benefits and necessity of each other. Society and psychology will benefit from the unification of science and practice, whereas a schism will be detrimental to everyone.
Q4. What actions would you take to enhance the standing and reputation of psychology around the world?
Internationally, I will tout the high-quality of psychological research and scholarship, pointing out that psychology is the paragon for betterment of all people. I will use my technological competence to promote education and training across borders and advocate the benefits of applying psychology to the world's problems. For persuasive actions, I will:
Emphasize humanitarianism, social virtues and futurism
Cultivate individual and collective commitment to constructive, peaceful and healthy living.
One of my presidential initiatives will be to obtain higher quality education, training, research and practice globally by expanding and strengthening APA accreditation and approval of continuing education. www.BobWoodyHelpsPsychology.com

While one state pushes for less access to abortion for teens, another tables the idea.
Both bills stalled in the judiciary committee.
Rhode Island's legislative agenda on abortion; Louisiana state rep introduces abortion ban; and Rwanda unveils national campaign to address cervical cancer.
The state Republicans propose one of the most restrictive parental consent to health care laws in the country.
Two new abortion restrictions have been signed into law by Kansas Governor Sam Brownback.
The Candies Foundation pays Bristol $262k but grants only $35k for teen pregnancy prevention; the FBI releases 10-year old threats against Dr. Tiller; Delaware may enact parental consent; Illinois cannot force pharmacies to distribute emergency contraception.
Now Kansas has stated just one parent approving of an abortion isn't enough, a teen needs two.
Tucked into a bill proposed on Friday is a stipulation that teens cannot consent to any health procedure, removing access from abortion, birth control and STI screenings.
Nebraska is proposing a parental consent law for teens seeking abortions, while Ohio contemplates making the judicial bypass process even harder.
Physician who provides abortions indicted for murder; health reform law repeal vote in the House today; parental consent in Kansas; breast-feeding promotion from the U.S. Surgeon General; and crisis pregnancy centers are in trouble in Texas and Washington State.

I want Mattel and MOTU gamerpics as well. I'll NEVER change my gamerpic ever again if they did something like that.
I just think this is a good step in the right direction. This a new move. Hopefully a cartoon and then a ps3 Xbox 360 game.

That said, I still am loving this. I like the "Store" in the video - I'm really hoping ad-ons will be available - new lands to visit, new characters to play. The "overworld" of the game looks like it was intentionally designed to be expandable. Since hearing you can play as Sorceress, I am so glad they are so open like that - I want Evil-Lyn, Teela, etc.
I also had no hope that She-ra or anything PoP would be available, but there looked like some PoP locations in there, based on those Filmation versions. I wouldn't be surprised at all if She-ra herself isn't available in the initial version, and they add a "She-ra pack" adding her and more levels later you can add-on. While I am ever so greatful it's not a "build your eternia" Smurf Village/Jurassic Park/Simpsons Build Springfield game (those take so much time and/or money using consumables you purchase with real cash), I'm more than happy to shell out a few bucks here and there for updates like new characters or levels for a game like this.
Did anyone see this gameplay video? I think it looks quite interesting:
Man, the more I see of this game, the more I want to play it. Too bad I dont have an I-Pad or even a Smartphone. I am curious about Hordak´s role in the game though. So far every preview I have seen has showed him counted among the regular bosses, treating him almost like he was just another henchman of Skeletor. Hopefully that is not the case. (Actually according to that video, even Skeletor himself lists Hordak as a henchman.)
Also for She-Ra fans, its nice to see that even if she doesnt directly appear in the game, at least she is alluded to as her very first mini-comic cover is one of the collectables in in the game.
Thanks for posting the video, Irian! It looks great! I love the buttonless controls. You don't have to worry about keeping your fingers and thumb in a certain location.
All the extras make this an awesome package. I wonder if you'll be able to unlock or buy She-Ra as a playable character.
Congratulations! MOTUC 2015!
Where is the information regarding the Android release coming from? I am not able to find it amywhere, all the sites simply say iOS as the platform.
My kids played it today at NYCC... pretty cool overall!
I will NEVER believe that Mermista beheaded Mer-Man! You sit on a throne of lies.... and smell of beef and cheese, bio writer!!!!
At the panel, they said they are going to try to have a poll here to chose an additional playable character that would be added down the road. My vote is for She-Ra.
Congratulations! MOTUC 2015!

The game looks very good and enjoyable. I hope it can be built upon to add more levels and characters
Controls look very cool. I hope they aren't too crazy to handle on the iPhone, though, since it's considerably smaller.
Still looking cool, but I doubt you'll be able to pull off those swiping special moves in the middle of a boss battle, unless they're pretty slow and predictable. Still looking forward to it of course....but I'm still not a fan of touch screen controls.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
Man, this looks really great. I do wonder how the controls will be. I think this approach looks pretty decent, but I do wonder how you'll do some of it when you're holding the iPad in your hands.
Coming Soon. My line of 5.5'' action figures. EonQuest.com
They said in the Mattel Panel that if the game takes off, we might see a more robust version coming for the consoles.
I hope they have alternate skins...I've always thought that 200X He-Man and Battle Ground Teela would be the 2P skin if MOTU would ever get a video game.

Without Fail: (Jack Reacher 6) (original 2002; edition 2011)
by Lee Child
Work details
Without Fail by Lee Child (2002)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Another great book in the series.
I like Reacher. I really do. But Lee Child creates the most flawed scenarios and it drives me batty sometimes. Reacher has been recruited to help deflect an attempt to assassinate the new VP.
Now, if we are to believe this story, the Secret Service is employing idiots. For example, Reacher specifies a church tower that could be used by a shooter. Does the SS put a man in the tower to prevent the possible use by an assassin. Or even to be able to see any other possible danger. No. The lead SS agent says she "hopes someone checked out the tower." Really?
Just one of many scenarios that make the entire tension seem fake to me. Just a little bit of realism is necessary for me to buy into the plot. And having the Secret Service make mistakes that I, with none of the necessary skills/experience to do this job, could plan for, is ludicrous.
Further, if you manage to become the lead on VP's secret service team, you are not wimpy, scared, easily intimidated woman. In fact, you are probably more of a tough, than most men in the position because you have more to prove. The secret service lead, and current Reacher Lover, is about as easily defeated emotionally and mentally as a house of cards.
Child clearly wants to be a liberal minded man about women, but he's stuck in making all of Reacher's love interests the weak girl who needs to be rescued. I wouldn't even mind that, except you don't make a woman who leads a secret service detail into that character. It just doesn't fit. In fact it grates on you - because it just doesn't fit.
Fairly typical Jack Reacher, but this one did have a lot of back story of Reacher and his brother. I enjoyed that. I also thought this one was less violent than a couple of the other Jack Reacher books I've read. Enjoyable but not stay-up-all-night worthy or life-changing.
It's Jack Reacher so you know what to expect - lots of bad guys and fights. This is slightly unusual in that Jack is kinda employed officially and not under the radar and a character is unexpectedly killed.
Another easy, enjoyable read.
SUMMARY: A covert group of assassins has the Vice President of the United States in their sights. They've planned well. There's just one thing they didn't plan on: Jack Reacher.

Is abridged in
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0515144312, Mass Market Paperback)What better way to test the security surrounding a U.S. vice president-elect than to hire someone skilled in the killing arts to penetrate his protection? Assassination strategy, though, is only part of the assignment facing Jack Reacher in Without Fail. This restive, blunt-edged ex-military cop must also determine whether recent threats against VP-to-be Senator Brook Armstrong are legitimate or are primarily intended to embarrass the perfectionist head of Armstrong's new Secret Service detail, M.E. Froelich, who happens to have been a girlfriend of Reacher's late brother.
If Without Fail lacks the emotional urgency of Lee Child's previous novel, Echo Burning, it still barely lets the reader catch a decent breath between plot crests. Jack and his fetching yet formidable colleague, Frances Neagley, must figure out how warning letters to Armstrong are being delivered into the Secret Service sanctum, whether the senator is at risk because of something political or personal, and who staged the demonstration murders of two innocent men also named Armstrong, first initial B. Unfortunately, a few twists (including the source of a thumbprint applied to the threats against Armstrong) can be figured out in advance, and the story is light on character development. A tiny breach in Reacher's reclusive carapace opens as Froelich transfers the love she once felt for his brother toward him, and there are suggestions that Neagley may have depths of feeling just waiting to be plumbed. However, other players are mere ciphers--the sacrificial victims of an action-oriented yarn. --J. Kingston Pierce
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:26:15 -0400)
Hired by the Secret Service to test their shield around the new vice president of the United States, ex-military cop Jack Reacher discovers that a team of assassins is already planning a hit on the vice president.

Down New York airconditioned drains
The click click clack of the heavy black trains
A million engines in neutral
The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb
Fifty feet of concrete underground
One little leak becomes a lake

So I give in to the rhythm
The click click clack
I'm too wasted to fight back
Tick tack goes the pendulum on the old grandfather clock
I can see you
But I can never reach you
And it rained all night and then all day
The drops were the size of your hands and face
The worms come out to see what's up
We pull the cars up from the river
It's relentless
So how come it looks so beautiful?
How come the moon falls from the sky?

"One of the most exciting things a church can celebrate is when parents dedicate their precious children to the Lord. In I Samuel 1 we read of a mother who desperately cries out to God for a child. God graciously answers her prayer and in turn, she dedicates him to the Lord and His service at a young age. Samuel grows up to be one of Israel's greatest prophets.
Today, we dedicate our children to the Lord in much the same way. We've recently instituted a pre-dedication class for all parents who desire to dedicate their children to God. To participate in the dedication ceremony, you are required to attend the pre-dedication class. We've done this for a couple reasons;
1) We want to insure we've provided ample opportunity for all parents to understand from a Biblical perspective what dedicating their Children to God truly means,
2) Late in 2011, Pastor Ken sensed God prompting Him to give more personal and specific instruction to parents interested in dedicating their children to the Lord
3) By having a class before the dedication ceremony, we are able to spend more time focused in on teaching/equipping.
This process is next to impossible to incorporate into the weekly worship service on top of everything else that goes into a worship experience. When we meet, you can expect the following;
a. Corporate Prayer
b. Brief teaching
c. Detailed Instruction about the dedication service
d. An itemized list of what to do before and after a baby dedication
Done right, there is so much more than a 10 minute experience on Sunday morning will allow. We are VERY excited to take our baby dedication to the next level here at discoverlifechurch.tv. We are thankful beyond expression for Godly parents who are led by the Spirit in raising their children. We are living in perilous times and we strongly desire to equip moms and dads to raise children who love God with their whole heart."

Jack Daniels VDOT and Training Charts
Jack Daniels has made a science of Oxygen efficiency a science in his book Daniels Running Formula. He has popularized the concept of VO2 Max – the Maximum sustained Volume of Oxygen used to create energy. The faster a runner can go, the greater the amount of Oxygen they are able to process. Daniels has measured many, many athletes over the past 25 years and has developed the next two pages of charts that can guide runners.
Daniels has found that a runner's time can determine their approximate VO2 Max (VDOT Ranking). The first chart shows this – which is a lot easier and cheaper than going into a lab and hooking up tubes into a face mask like you will see Lance Armstrong do at times. Simply use your Mile or 2-Mile of 5K time and go to the left to find your own VDOT. For example, if you run a 5:32 Mile – your VDOT is a 53. Or if your 5K (Track) time is 17:45, then you are a 57.
The second chart shows the pace time for the different types of workouts. For example, a VDOT of 53 (5:32 miler) says you should be running about 7:52 per mile pace for your easy long runs, threshold 1000's at 4:04, Interval 400's at 90 seconds, and Race Pace Intervals at 84 seconds.
Finally, note that the objective of our long term training program is to increase your VO2Max, and therefore your VDOT rating. Each individual is different and progresses at different rates depending on their natural capabilities, how much work they are putting in, the consistency of that work and how mature their own physical development is.

The accident
On 21 June 2008, the Princess of the Stars ferry sank with 850 people onboard following Typhoon Fengshen off the coast of Sibuyan Island. Many people lost their lives and numerous bodies remained trapped in the wreck.
On 28th, operations to recover the bodies were suspended due to the presence of containers of pesticides onboard liable to release these chemicals. It was considered necessary to remove these substances before continuing to recover the corpses or attempting to refloat the wreck.
A 5 km exclusion zone around the wreck, where fishing and aquaculture activities were prohibited, was set up by the Philippine authorities.
An expert from Cedre was dispatched to the Philippines on 9 July, in charge of a European Commission assignment (MIC: Monitoring and Information Centre for civil protection) in order to assess the human and environmental risks connected to the presence of these chemicals and the bunker fuel present in the wreck.
Chemicals involved
Five highly toxic pesticides were being transported in 2 containers onboard the ferry. A 40-foot container held 10 tonnes of Endosulfan and a 10-foot container stored 4 other pesticides in smaller quantities. Endosulfan is used in pineapple production in the Philippines. This particular cargo came from Israel.
Pollution monitoring
On site, the experts carried out aerial reconnaissance, as well as surveys by boat and on foot along the shoreline in order to assess the situation and make recommendations on analysis protocols, boom deployment and response at sea in case of a spill.
On 11 July, following the observation of a fuel slick, the Coast Guards deployed a boom around the wreck.
Seawater samples were taken from 5 sample points around the wreck every day, then analysed by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB). Fish, sediment and plankton were also sampled by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).
Following the expert mission, a debriefing was held on the MIC premises in Brussels on 26 September 2008. The representatives of Member States were invited to this meeting.
Name: Princess of the Stars
Date: 21 June 2008
Location: Philippines
Accident area: Sibuyan Island
Cause of spill: weather conditions
Products transported: pesticides (Endosulfan, Antracol WP 70, Tamaron 600 SL, Trap 70 WP, Fuerza GR 3), paint, solvents, electrical equipment, 100,000 l of Marine Diesel Oil
Type of pollutant: heavy fuel oil
Ship type: passenger ship

Fire Magi
Fire Magi from my world, Eliphos.
In the world, character's who consume giant's blood(or bone marrow) are granted powers. Those who are gifted the power over fire will suffer the consequence that using the magic will burn the caster's very body. This will leave them in the end a spirit bound to only flame itself, which causes the magic to need an metal suit to keep them encased and from the risk of high winds or rain.

Hand studies
I'll update this blog more often, i have a backlog of sketches to dump later.
Work's been keeping so much of my focus that i generally only have been getting to do studies in my spare time.
I'm starting a small 6-8 page comic and will be starting to post the process of that later.
I sure hope some people still follow me here... i totally understand if everyone packed up and left :P

On August 18, ASA joined 24 other medical specialty groups in filing a motion to intervene in a lawsuit originated in May by the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), and the Medical Society of the District of Columbia against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding the "Red Flags Rule." The rule involves establishment of an identity theft prevention program by "creditors," which the FTC defines to include most healthcare providers. While ASA is supportive of the FTC's efforts to prevent identity theft, there is concern about future implications of classifying physicians as "creditors." Though the lawsuit seeks to declare unlawful the "Red Flags Rule" as it applies to the members of the AMA, the AOA, and the state medical societies, through this motion to intervene, ASA seeks to extend the lawsuit to cover its member physicians. Unless the FTC delays again, enforcement begins on January 1, 2011. We will file additional legal documents reflecting our claim assuming our motion to intervene is granted.
Please see the links below for additional information on the Red Flags Rule and a copy of the motion to intervene.
Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 52,000 members organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology. ASA is committed to ensuring physician anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of patients before, during and after surgery to provide the highest quality and safest care every patient deserves.

My favorite combination so far has included Tuscan kale, cilantro, fresh ginger, lemon juice, banana, raw coconut creme, freshly ground flax seeds, and homemade almond milk.
superpowered raw greens smoothie
At home I use a regular blender to make my smoothies. But a Vita-Mix, if you have one, would make this even more kick-a$$ (yup, you know I have one on my wish list).
Combine the following in a blender and puree on high speed until thoroughly homogenized:
- 3 loosely packed cups of leafy greens and herbs (such as kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, parsley, cilantro)
- 1 cup almond milk (recipe below) (you could also use coconut water or plain water)
- 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, chopped (about 2 heaping Tbsp)
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 Tbsp)
- 1 banana, broken into smaller chunks
- 1 heaping tsp ground flax seeds
- 1 Tbsp raw coconut creme or coconut butter (you could also substitute almond butter)
- A couple of ice cubes (optional - if you like your smoothies on the icy side)
Creamy Homemade Almond Milk
For almond milk I use raw California-grown almonds, which are softer and less crunchy than toasted almonds. By law, US-grown almonds must be steam-pasteurized before going to market, so technically speaking even almonds labeled "raw" are not truly raw. If you prefer using truly raw almonds, natural foods stores often carry imported raw almonds that have not been pasteurized (or so the label says).
This almond milk is great in the green smoothie and also makes a deliciously creamy bedtime brew, gently heated on the stovetop, spiced with ground cinnamon, and sweetened with a touch of raw honey.
Makes about 2 cups of almond milk.
- 1 cup organic raw almonds, soaked for 8 to 12 hours in filtered water, drained, and rinsed (soaking makes the almonds easier to blend)
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1/4 tsp organic almond extract (optional)
- 1/4 tsp organic vanilla extract (optional)
Squeeze the cheesecloth tightly to extract all of the milk from the almonds. (Though I have not tried it yet, I have heard that the leftover almond solids can be used in baking.)
Optionally, if you would like to boost the flavor of the almond milk, stir in the almond and vanilla extracts.
The milk will keep, tightly covered and chilled, for up to 1 week.

This week, I take a detour from the Summerfest crowds and head to East Town, in anticipation of next week's raucous festival, Bastille Days. East Town, bordering downtown and known for its vibrant dining scene, has a very active neighborhood association whose website is a great resource. The farmer's market every Saturday morning from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. has a variety of local produce, crafts and free yoga. You can even get your knives sharpened.
Here are a few other best bets:
Best Food – Cubanitas is consistently a good choice for a cheap, delicious meal and a strong mojito. But if you want a creative, upscale dining experience, try the trendy, modern Umami Moto, that blends Asian cuisine with classic French techniques. The signature lobster chowder is so rich and delicious you could eat it for dessert. Don't forget about Buckley's Kiskeam Inn, a cozy, delicious bistro with an amazing brunch.
Best Beer Selection – The Rumpus Room has an extensive European and local beer selection along with a visiting brewmaster series, but for the die-hard beer lovers, you'll find craft brews and sample small batches of beer you can't find anywhere else at the Firkin Fest on July 20th from 4-8 p.m. Check out a post I wrote about the Fest last year to get a feel for the event and learn about the regional and national breweries.
Best Shopping – Unfortunately, most of the boutiques have moved to the Third Ward, enjoying the increased foot traffic from the cluster of stores. But you can always find a unique and fancy gift (and a nice cup of tea) at Watts Tea Room. And, every once in a while you can score a great deal on standard apparel and home goods at Boston Store or TJ Maxx in The Shops of Grand Avenue.
Best Date Spot – For an intimate (but pricey) cocktail with the best view in the city, head to the top of the Pfister Hotel to Blu . I am still so surprised how many people don't know about this swanky lounge offering live music Friday and Saturday nights. Indulge Wine Room is also a great bet for a cheese plate or dessert and a great selection of red, white and bubbly for before or after a show.
Best Festival – Bastille Days, the French festival, feels a little like Milwaukee's own version of Carnival in Cathedral Square Park, July 11-14th day and night. The free, four-day bash kicks off with thousands of people running like mad through the streets of Milwaukee at 9 p.m., an homage to the real storming of the Bastille. At the festival, find an international marketplace, plenty of live music, chef and wine demos, French and Cajun cuisine, roaming buskers and of course, a 43-foot Eiffel Tower replica. Hands down, this the best ethnic festival in Milwaukee, and I'm not even French.
Best Park – Cathedral Square Park, surrounded by Jefferson, Wells, Jackson and Kilbourn, is home to the long-running Jazz in the Park, a weekly free music series in the summer, the farmer's market, the Firkin Fest and so much more. It's small, but it's a great place to gather for all kinds of entertainment.
Best Place to Dance – A bar within a bar – what a brilliant concept! A large square bar and a lounge encircle the Whiskey Bar's dance floor. In fact, if the door happens to be closed, you might not ever know about the dance party and club-like atmosphere at the Whiskey Bar. Expect to hear some top 40 and bad '90s hip-hop. For some reason, it always keeps everyone on the dance floor, whether they can dance or not.
Craving great views and fresh air? One more insider tip – Hotel Metro and the Milwaukee Athletic Club both have amazing rooftops. Monday nights head up the 7th floor patio for Zen on Seven, no need to be a hotel guest. Also, Newaukee and Koss host the Lunar Series with live music every Friday through September 6th at the MAC, no membership required, but RSVP on Newaukee's website.

Kathy Sullivan: There is a broad campaign afoot to undermine support of public schools
That concept should not be difficult to grasp, and at one time it was promoted by people of all political stripes. Unfortunately, the idea that a strong public school system is important is under siege.
There are several threats to public schools. One is from the neglect caused by elected officials who are more interested in their tax-cutting records than they are in education (see, e.g., Ted Gatsas, mayor of Manchester). Another is from the far right, which has a palpable contempt for public education.
The far right insists on calling public schools "government schools," as if President Obama was personally running Stalinist-style indoctrination centers across the country. Actually, some of them in their paranoia actually do feel that way, as evidenced by some of the comments you can find regarding public schools.
They are aided and abetted in their quest by less paranoid, "conservative" Republicans, who have been seeking ways to divert tax dollars to private schools and religious schools as a way of providing school choice. A few years ago, the suggested method was vouchers, which never made it very far. Now, the method is a more complicated system which gives businesses tax credits for contributing to scholarship programs to send children to private or religious schools. It isn't just New Hampshire; this idea is being promoted nationally.
I have nothing against religious schools; I am the product of an excellent Catholic grammar school and Catholic college (a fact which might make some of those radical Republicans think twice about supporting religious schools, but I digress). But I have a problem with the use of tax dollars to fund religious schools, and that is what tax credits do.
These schools already receive tax-exempt status as non-profit organizations. Companies that want to donate scholarship dollars already receive the benefit of charitable tax deductions. Giving them New Hampshire tax credits on top of the federal tax deductions they already benefit from gives these donors a most-favored status that donors to other non-profit organizations do not receive, while draining tax dollars from the public school system that is educating the majority of the state's children.
Let these companies keep their tax deduction, but let's not give them tax credits added on top. Why should donations to religious or private schools receive better treatment than, say, a donation to a library, a museum, a homeless shelter or a food bank? It doesn't make sense.
And then there is the curriculum. I do not know if the conservative Republicans who are promoting the tax credit program really understand what is being taught in some of the religious schools actively seeking funding from the program. If they did, they would find out that these schools are not just using tax-credit receipts to teach religion (despite our state constitutional prohibition against funding religious education). Some of these schools teach politics wrapped in a religious aura, and it is a far, far, far right view of the world not based in reality.
One school in Dover that encourages the use of these tax credit scholarships teaches a warped view of both public schools and the United States government. Its web site states that the true goal of public education is the engineering of a citizen who parrots "a socialistic, centralized, Statist, relativistic world-view." Christian education, however, is a bulwark and lightning rod "for all society against the relentless expansionism of the total State."
With all due respect, why are tax credits being used to promote any political agenda, let alone a fundamentally paranoid view that our country's government is evil? If parents want to teach their kids that kind of stuff, they can do it on their own time or their own nickel. We don't have to help pay for it.
Actually, if they think government is that bad, isn't it just a little hypocritical to accept funding through a government voucher ... excuse me, tax credit program?
The Legislature has an opportunity to end this tax credit program. If companies want to donate, they can do so; ending the tax credit program doesn't prevent anyone from writing a check. The New Hampshire House of Representatives has voted to end the program; let us hope the Senate will join suit.

JinkoSolar And Three Gorges New Energy Sign Contract For 50-Megawatt Solar Project
SHANGHAI, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), a leading global solar power product manufacturer, today announced it has won a bid from China Three Gorges New Energy Corp. ("CTGNE"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Three Gorges Corporation ("CTGC"), to supply 50-megawatt solar modules for a PV power plant in Gansu Province, China.
CTGNE is wholly-owned subsidiary of CTGC, which is one of the largest state-owned power corporations in China, with more than RMB300 billion in assets. CTGNE specializes in renewable energy investment and operations, including wind, solar, and hydropower as well as other clean energy technologies. CTGNE has been vigorously developing solar power plants in recent years.
"Our goal is to drive China's future in renewable energy, and in particular solar power which has proven to be one of the most feasible and eco-friendly solutions," said Mr. Zhengfeng Yang, Project Deputy General Manager of Three Gorges New Energy. "We feel excited to work with JinkoSolar to make electricity from solar power more competitive and economical."
"We are very pleased to be working with Three Gorges New Energy to deliver cost-competitive solar power on 50-MW scale," said Mr. Xiande Li, Chairman of JinkoSolar. "By combining our high-efficiency solar technology and CTGNE's experience in financing and management of clean energy projects, we are confident that this project will maximize the solar energy generated over the span of system's life. The increased amount of electricity being generated from renewable energy sources, from solar in particularly, will gradually change the Chinese energy portfolio."This strategic partnership with Three Gorges New Energy will further strengthen the Company's position in China's renewable market. We look forward to future cooperation between our two companies including joint exploration of hybrid solar-wind solution projects with them," added Mr. Xiande Li.
