The Center for Visual Arts was launched in January 2012 when The Akureyri Art Museum and The Akureyri Cultural Center were merged together. The Center is divided into three distinctly separate venues: The Akureyri Art Museum and the multipurpose facilities of Ketilhús (Kettle House) and Deiglan (Melting Pot), which are all located on the same street in the heart of Akureyri, affectionally known as Listagilið (Art Canyon). The Museum opened its galleries on August 29th 1993 and is the oldest of those three establishments. For the past two decades it has been the flagship of the Art Canyon and has played a prominent role in the cultural life of Akureyri as the first institution outside the capital of Reykjavík to concentrate solely on visual arts.
With a dual mission of promoting art for the local community as well as within the wider national and even global context, the Museum's dynamic approach has fostered both knowledge and appreciation of the arts in Iceland and has created a platform for cutting-edge, contemporary artists and curators to promulgate their visions. Amongst notable names that have graced the galleries over the years are Matthew Barney, Spencer Tunick, Per Kirkeby, Andrew Serrano, the Boyle Family, Rosemary Trockel, Orlan, Bill Viola and Santiago Sierra, to name but a few. Exhibitions within the past decade have also featured some of the great masters, such as Rembrandt, Goya and Henri Cartier-Bresson. In addition to art from Europe and America, the Museum has drawn on artists and traditions from such varied cultures as Russia and India, Japan and Jordan, without loosing sight of the local art scene and major Icelandic figures.
In 2006 the Museum instigated the Icelandic Visual Arts Awards (IVAA) to draw more attention to the importance of art and design and celebrate individual achievements. Artists are nominated for the awards by a panel of judges presenting the main institutional bodies within the profession, including The Icelandic Academy of the Arts, The Association of Icelandic Artists and The Art Theoretical Society of Iceland. Until 2008 IVAA was held on a yearly bases, but as of 2012 it has become a triennial.
Rather surprisingly, the idea of founding an art museum in Akureyri first appered in a news paper article by Jónas Jónsson in the mid-1960s, an influential and highly controversial politician who was anything but a staunch supporter of the avant-garde during his haydays as the Minister of Culture and Education. Almost three decades past until his dream became a reality on August 28th 1993, to coincide with the township's anniversary. Disregarding the bucolic academicism recommended by Mr. Jónsson and his conservative views on art, the Museum turned out to be a bastion for contemporary art and the most progressive movements in the country right from the beginning. The building housing the museum was originally erected to serve as a Co-operative Dairy factory in 1939 and reflects strong influence from the Bauhaus school and the international Funkis-movement. In keeping with the German and Scandinavian kunsthalle model, the Museum focuses mainly on mounting exhibitions and creating projects in collaboration with artists, galleries and institutions, both locally and abroad, rather than collecting works of art.
The Kettle House (Ketilhús) is located east of the Museum building a little further down the avenue. Over the years it has served multiple roles, though primarily as a boiler station for which it was originally intended. The Kettle (hence the name of the building) produced steam for the factories that the Akureyri Dairy Co-op ran in Grófargil during the 1950s. After the factories were moved to Gleráreyrar, on the north-edge of Akureyri, the buildings in Grófargil stood empty and deserted for a long while. In 1991 a grassroots organization, Gilfélagið, was formed to organize and bolster up the ever increasing demand for exhibitions and other cultural events. Through a concerted effort the town-council was eventually persuaded to buy most of the vacant factory buildings in the Art Canyon and designate them to private studios and open platforms for exhibitions
A year later the municipality signed a contract with Gilfélagið to run a space for culture on this busy thoroughfare. However, by 2003 the operation of the Culture Center had grown to such an extent that Gilfélagið was no longer in a position to manage it. The Kettle House underwent an exstensive renovation and was transformed into a multifunctional facility that could cater to as many interests as possible on equal footing, be it an exhibition, theatre play, musical performance, lecture or a convention. To supervise the program a director was appointed by the municipality which funded the operation.
With the inauguration of the ambitious cultural and conference center Hof in August 2010, prominently positioned by the harbor, the purpose of the Kettle House was in dire need of adjustment. The unification of the Art Museum, Kettle House and Deiglan under single management was brought about with the intention of strengthening this unique region as the main hub for visual arts in Akureyri. Despite being more specialized than before, the new Center for Visual Arts adheres to a very open policy in its choice of exhibitions and projects and continues to present a wide range of activities.
The Kettle House still serves as an important space for all kinds of concerts and meetings, although the thrust of its efforts revolves around art and design and related events. Exhibitions in the Kettle House are by invitation only and receive a similar level of service and support reseved for those showing at the Museum. The Deiglan, on the other hand, located accross the street from the Museum, is primarily devoted to young artists, experimentations of every sort and new voices wishing to be heard.
As adumbrated above, the mission of the Visual Arts Center in Akureyri is to promote, enrich and stimulate the cultural environment in Akureyri by encouraging broad participation from the local community while adhering to a high standard of artistic merit. By showcasing many of the country's greatest talents and participating energetically in the current discourse, the influences of the Center for Visual Arts reaches well beyond its geographical location. The Center, however, is not concerned with any particular type of art and avoids being trapped by popular trends, but instead endeavours to nurture a very wide, even eclectic, range of art practices.
Through its exhibitions, lectures, publications and educational programs, aimed at the schools as well as the general public, the Center strives to enhance the appreciation for the arts and raise awareness about our surroundings. The content may be of aesthetic, philosophical, political, historical, social or moral nature, but these issues are usually tackled from a miriad of different angels with the intention of stirring up a lively debate. To parahrase Robert Huge's much acclaimed book, Nothing if not Critical, the Center not only revels in being polemical, it regards it as a duty to go systematically against the grain of commonly accepted notions and has regularly been the subject of heated debates. Provocation for the sake of getting attention is not the name of the game. The main objective is maintaining a healthy balance between a democratic discourse and the 'shock of the new' where the participation of the audiance plays a crucial role.
Every year about six exhibitions are mounted in the Museum and eight at the Kettle House, whereas 8-12 events take place in the Deiglan, depending on how strong the fresh winds are blowing. No longer culturally relegated to playing second fiddle to Iceland's capital city of Reykjavik, Akureyri is a fascinating destination in its own right. The Center for Visual Arts is shaping the cultural development of Northern Iceland as experienced by visitors and residents alike, serving as a mirror to a rapidly shrinking world and as a harbinger of things to come.

wow Cathleen! What a great shot! Excellent comp, great photography! Well done :)
Thanks Stephanie :)
– Cathleen Tarawhiti
Cathleen, I've always loved how you use color in your images to create style. You do this better than anyone else I know.
If there are a million tones of red, then you've chosen the exact one that contrasts the best against the grey, black and flesh tones. Massive effect!
Aside from that, it's an awesome take simply cause you know how to create vibe. And technically your lighting and exposure and comp are totally spot on…
But hey wait a minute… says Model – Anna.
That's impossible cause there's 2 girls in this. Right?
You've always managed to make me look twice and end up with a smile on my face.
Since you rushed through the living room with that bowl of eggs…:-)
(Of cousre I realize she's got a twin sis)
Haha, of course :) Thanks Billy, love putting that smile on your face.

London opens world's largest solar bridge
— By Tyler Falk on January 28, 2014, 2:02 PM PST
Real power
I think the last word in the following sentence should be "usage" or "input" rather than "output."
"The bridge... will produce ... about 50 percent of the station's annual electricity output."
Awesome! This iconic landmark world's largest solar powered bridge that stretches across the Thames is going to provide half of railway station's energy. Solar bridge makes solar energy easier, more reliable and more affordable.
Unfortunately the train in the photo is diesel powered, and I think they'll find out pretty quickly that much of the roof panels get covered in a settled film of diesel exhaust and other airborne particulate matter, and will need constant cleaning to maintain the peak efficiency of the panels, the projects ROI will have been based upon.

EL PASO- Some residents in Central El Paso will be without a pool this summer. The Chelsea Pool has closed.
This was a move suggested to the Parks and Recreation Department by City Engineers because of structural damages. The 66 year old pool may not see another summer filled with kids swimming or splashing about.
There are as many as 14 other public pools around El Paso. A close suggestion is the GrandView Outdoor Pool in the Northeast.

We dont use Ipads here (at the moment at least) but ICloud / Dropbox / Emailing themselves could be options.
Good luck!
Apologies for the short notice but I have a meeting in an hour about this.
We have 32 i-pads which the teacher now wants Pages, Keynotes and Numbers installed.
Has anyone here used those apps on i-pads in a purely windows environment on multi-user ipads?
If so, how do the students save the work?
We dont use Ipads here (at the moment at least) but ICloud / Dropbox / Emailing themselves could be options.
Good luck!
Google apps works perfectly across all of the devices on our domain without the need for addons like quickoffice and pages.
Unless pages etc gets round the limitation IOS only allows uploading or attaching of photos and videos. So no way to get the files off other than maybe a Dropbox type app
WebDav is an option too!
Thanks all. Pretty much as I expected but I had to ask
We're using CLOUDON and Dropbox.
I've set up WebDAV at numerous schools. Have a search of the forums to find what I posted.
You may also find it useful to host a proxy.pac file in IIS so the iPads can talk to the World Wide Web
We have a .pac file in place.
One thing we can't get working through Link2ICT is Meraki. We can register them everywhere else except from behind Link2ICT proxy. Case is still open (and so is just about every port known to man!!!!)
Moved to correct forum for iPads.

I have to say with all the soaps out there, one can do better. The best things about it: All Lush soaps are so much fun and different, this one makes a terrific lather, it have a really nice but not overwhelming scent and leaves you feeling fresh. Now for the not so good things: it has a drying effect on the skin, it is expensive for soap, once the layer of salt is gone there is no exfoliating at all. So buy it for fun but don't expect miracles!
I am quite disappointed with this soap. My first bar of Sea Vegetable soap contained absolutely no salt crystals or seaweed. It was smooth and smelled of, well, nothing really. Just a plain bar of green soap. However, it lathered extremely well, in fact, better than any of my other LUSH soaps ever have! I decided to give this soap a second chance and bought another bar. This time, it did come with salt and seaweed and a very light smell and barely any lather. I could smell both the lime and lavender, but it was so weak that I had to hold the bar of soap right to my nose and sniff deeply to smell it at all! The scent didn't linger on my skin either and I didn't find this soap moisturizing, but instead, a bit drying. I won't be purchasing another one of these and the only reason I gave it two lippies instead of one is that I do enjoy the scrubbiness of the soap while it still has the salt and seaweed in it.

Got this soap as part of a birthday gift box from Lush. I probably wouldnt have bought this based on the scent which Im not too keen on but as an exfoliator it worked wonders and left my skin super soft.
The first LUSH product that gave me some sort of allergic reaction. I wanted to give this to my hubby, but tried it out first on my hands. They almost instantly turned red and started to sting! Didn't really like the scent either. Will be returning it today.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Really nice soap- a deep blue, glycerin base soap, with seaweed and salt on top. The seaweed and salt provide exfoliation. The scent is a strong lime and lavender, which smells fresh and is invigorating. This s a great soap for me year-round.
ouch! Why would they put salt in a soap- not my idea of fun. The scent is nice clean 'ocean' scent but I can't get past the salt and the seaweed. It's very very drying too.
Okay. I'm going to have to find a way to use this bar without it scratching my skin like crazy. I am seriously in pain when trying to use this soap to exfoliate. I will use it will a wash cloth next time so that the hard n dry seaweek bits do not hurt me. The salt side is better in terms of painlessness. Mine was only a sample slice so the salt side crumbled to bits, but I think a full size bar would not have this problem. Will not be repurchasing.. I prefer the I Should Coco soap for exfoliating my skin.
The smell and consistency of the soap is amazing, but it is just soap and it dries out my skin. I tried a sample but will not buy.
Love the look of this. It smells very fresh and clean to me, though I cant smell the ocean. It lathers up VERY well and the lather feels very silky unlike others which are more soapy.
This is a gorgeous soap. It is the most intense blue, topped with bits of seaweed and salt. I love the lavender/lime scent and my only complaint is that I wish the scent lingered longer on my skin after washing with it.

By Pam StevensManaging Editor
January 29, 2013
My son had the opportunity to take driver's education this summer and as a parent, I feel the best thing he learned is that having a cell phone nearby while driving should not be tolerated and is not tolerated at Defensive Driving School.
Before the students get into the car to drive the instructor requires that they put their cell phones out of reach, usually in the trunk of the car.
I am finding that I should probably follow suit. While I never text while driving I am often tempted to answer my phone when it rings, even though I know that it is against the law in the state of Washington.
I consistently see other drivers talking on their cell phones while driving as well.
AAA conducted a survey of almost 4,000 American drivers 16 years old and up and found out that drivers who text or talk on their cell phone while driving are more likely to disobey other laws of the road.
So far, 39 states as well as Washington D.C. have laws prohibiting texting while driving. The remaining states are being strongly encouraged by AAA to do the same.
The most upsetting part of this survey is the fact that many of these drivers don't just talk while driving, they also speed more often.
Here are some of the findings in the AAA survey:
• 65 percent also reported speeding;
• 44 percent also reported driving drowsy;
• 53 percent also reported sending a text or email;
• 29 percent also drove without a seatbelt.
Conversely, drivers that reported never using a cell phone were much less likely to report additional risky behaviors:
• 31 percent reported speeding;
• 14 percent reported driving drowsy;
• 3 percent reported sending a text or email;
• 16 percent drove without a seatbelt.
"What concerns AAA is this pattern of risky behavior that even goes beyond cell phone use," said Kathleen Bower, AAA vice president of public affairs. "These same cell phone-using drivers clearly understand the risk of distraction, yet are still likely to engage in a wide range of dangerous driving activities."
It is a proven fact that drivers already have too much distraction when on the road between kids, other drivers, lack of sleep, road work and even listening to the radio.
Drivers need to become more responsible when it comes to their cell phones, something that the driver can control.
Over 3,000 people lose their lives each year due to distracted drivers according to the National Highway Safety Administration, or NTSB and close to 500,000 people are injured by them.
As my son prepares to go out on the road without adult supervision, I am concerned for his safety. I only hope that he remembers the lessons he was taught at Defensive Driving School about cell phone use and that he obeys his parents when we tell him to turn it off or no driving will be allowed!

Senegalese Red Rice
Sometimes cooking inspiration is easy to come by. If you have a well-stocked refrigerator and a well-developed cookbook collection (or blog-reading habit), sometimes a recipe ex machina seems to beam down like a shaft of divine light. Leftover potatoes, newly-harvested garlic scapes, nuts and cheese combine to become my new favorite pizza. Or baby lettuces, fresh cilantro, barely-blanched asparagus, feta, radishes and lemon zest turn into an essence-of-spring salad that I'm still kicking myself for not photographing.
And then there are the other evenings. The fridge is empty, the pantry is uninspiring, and you have neither the time nor the will to go to the market. These are times when I can't remember what it is that I know how to cook anyway, and will literally thumb through the recipe index of my very own blog to remind me. It's a bit ridiculous. But it does happen, more often than I'd like to admit. And so, for times like these, I add another Iron Pantry Chef recipe to the list: Senegalese red rice.
My experience with African food has primarily been limited to regular meals at a local Ethopian restaurant. But last year I checked out The Soul of a New Cuisine, by the Ethopian-born, Swedish-raised Marcus Samuelsson. The recipes are intriguing yet approachable, and are a lovely introduction to African flavors. But for all of the exotic menus in the cookbook, this humble red rice became my favorite dish. In some ways it's similar to a Mexican red rice, consisting of a simple starch, tomato, chili, and fresh cilantro. But it's somehow much more. It's unabashedly soupy, creating more of a stick-to-your ribs risotto-type dish than a fluffy pilaf. The dried shrimp (if you use them) give a nice briny note, but it's equally nice without them. With the exception of cilantro (which required a trip to the front yard for a quick garden harvest), all of the ingredients were in my house last night. Who knew I had the makings for an African meal in my there's-nothing-to-cook pantry? And I don't know if I need to even say this, but the leftovers, when topped with a fried egg, make a fabulous breakfast.
Senegalese Red Rice
adapted from Marcus Samuelsson's The Soul of a New Cuisine: A Discovery of the Food and Flavors of Africa
yields 3-4 servings
2 Tbsp canola or peanut oil
1 smallish red onion, diced
1 jalapeno, finely diced (you can omit if you don't like it spicy)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp shrimp powder (I've substituted 1 Tbsp asian dried shrimp, soaked and chopped, but have also omitted entirely for an equally nice dish -- I also imagine crumbled nori or other seaweed might make a good vegan substitution)
1 cup chopped tomatoes, canned or fresh
1 cup short-grain white rice
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 sprigs thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves)
1 cup tomato juice
2 cups water
1/2 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium flame. Add the onion and cook until translucent, ~5-7 minutes. Add the jalapeno, garlic and chili powder, and cook another minute. Add the shrimp powder (if using) and tomatoes, and stirring occasionally, until the oil separates out from the sautee (~10 minutes).
When the oil has separated out, add the rice and stir to coat. Add the salt, thyme, tomato juice and water, and raise the heat to bring to a boil. When the mixture is boiling, reduce heat until it's just high enough to maintain a simmer, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check to see that the rice is al dente, just shy of being done. Turn off the flame, stir in the cilantro, and let sit, covered another 1o minutes for the rice to finish absorbing the liquid (it will still be a somewhat moist dish). Serve.

I just stumbled on your blog after searching for things to do with extra jam. (Your kolaches look amazing, by the way.) I stuck around because your writing is wonderful! Thanks for the good read, and for making me hungry this afternoon. :)ReplyDelete
This sounds really delish! I made paella a few weeks ago and topped some leftover rice with a fried egg... you're right; it's wonderful!ReplyDelete
Great dish!! I added grilled tofu and used the nori - substituted brown jasmine rice ( 2 1/2 c water )and left tomato juice out. Way better than than red rice served at my favorite Senegalese restaurant.ReplyDelete

Let us understand first the difference of counseling and psychotherapy. These two are terms that are often used interchangeably. Even if that is the case, they are very similar yet there are subtle differences as well. Counselor meaning advisor– a relationship of the psychotherapist to the patient. It involves two people working together to solve a specific problem. Psychotherapy on the other hand speaks to a general term that involves longer term of treatment which focuses more on gaining insight in to chronic physical and emotional problems. It focuses onto the patient's thought processes and way of being in the world rather than specific problem.Many couples struggle with their relationship that leads to divorce and broken families. Just like any case, marital problems may also be solved by counseling. Marriage counseling a.k.a couples therapy; is a type of psychotherapy. Couples of all types may undergo therapy; it resolves conflicts and improves relationships. Marriage counselor will always be rational towards things, she will not recommend you to separate your ways or force you to fix your relationship but rather help you to realize the problem and will advice you options to solve them which can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship or go your separate ways.Not everyone can be a therapist just because they are good in giving advises. Marriage counselors are provided by licensed therapists who are graduates or postgraduate degrees.Marrie...

I keep reducing the boil hops to lower the IBUs, but my brews keep coming out bitter. The bitter on the back and sides of the tongue you associate from long boil hop additions. I just cracked open a bottle of my Octoberfest to see how it is coming along - excelent malt profile and flavor up front, low aroma and flavor hops, but slightly overwelming bitternes on the finish. Beer Smith shows the IBUs at 20.2, the very lowest end for the style (which is how I planned it), but it is still pretty bitter like a 50 IBU brew.
Must be something other than the hops at play here. I have this issue with most light colored ales, the darker ones seem to do much better.
Post up your recipe...
I've tasted some brews that were low IBU, but used grains that give bitter flavors when in too high a percentage of the grist. Such as a stout with too much black malt...
Could you be fermenting at a high temp?
+1 Celticway. High temps were my issue when it came to off taste/bitterness.
Sounds like astringency
I support the Sternewirth Privilege... Especially for Home Brewers!!
I live in Texas and keep the house at 79 degrees (when it is 107 outside that is cold!). Anyway, I ferment in a large tub with water, tee shirt over the fermenter with a fan blowing directly on it. I shuttle out frozen gallon jugs of water three times a day - morning before work, when I get home, and before bed. Stick on thermometer on side of my glass carboy shows around 69-70 degrees. I always use SafeAle S-05 because the range goes up to 75 degrees. I tooks special care keeping this brew as cool as possible as I will be serving it at my next Octoberfest party - but I do not question fermenting temps as being a possibility - just posting my process. One thought I just had - I used Coopers drops in the bottles to carb and it sat at room temp for the past three weeks (79-ish) - could this be my culprit?
Recipe is:
5 lbs 2 row
4 lbs Munich Malt
1/2 lb caramunic malt
1/2 caravienne malt
1 oz Tradition hops (4.4 AA 60 min)
1 oz Spalter Hops (3.0 AA 15 min)
1/2 oz Hallertauer (3.8 AA Aroma steep at flameout)
1/2 oz Hallertauer (3.8 AA Dry hop 7 days)
Fermentis SafeAle S-05
Ferment for 3 weeks at 70-ish degrees
Anyway - do you think this bitterness fade by October?
Well, it might not be from the temps, but it is my suspect. Fluctuating temps will also cause off flavors percieved as bitterness. Another question: do you try an separate the cold break before it goes into your fermentor? Alot of poeple here will say it doesn't matter, that it just falls to the bottom. Well that's true until active fermentation starts, then it's all over the place. I have found when I first started using a CFC I overlooked that. When I used a Immersion chiller, the cold break settled to the bottom of my kettle and was never a problem. First couple of times with the CFC it was snowing cold break into my fermentor and did cause some nastyness. Now I pump back from my chiller into the kettle and bring the whole thing down to pitch temps. Just an idea.
If it is a bitterness not caused by the hops, sadly to say that it probably won't be less.
Water profile can have a massive impact on bitterness, do you brew with tap water or do you use RO? your tap water may be the culprit here.
I have found with my water here that mixing it 50/50 RO and dechlorinated tap that I can make a pretty mean english ale, if I am making a stout or porter I use all tap.
Could be that you need to start tinkering with your water or trying bottled drinking water and see if it makes a difference.

Kiss your cash goodbye: Steam to serve up non-gaming software
Everybody's favorite digital games storefront Steam is going to become an entirely different beast next month. Moving beyond only selling PC games, Steam will soon have a suite of creativity and productivity apps that'll gladly
rob take your hard-earned cash.
Announced on the Steam website, the company says that new non-gaming apps will be listed under the "Software" category. According to Valve's Mark Richardson, the new software additions is in response to the growing feeling that Steam's 40 million-strong gamers "are interested in more than play games."
Although no frontrunner software apps have been announced yet, Valve says that the apps will be customized with features Steam users have come to be familiar with:
The Software titles coming to Steam range from creativity to productivity. Many of the launch titles will take advantage of popular Steamworks features, such as easy installation, automatic updating, and the ability to save your work to your personal Steam Cloud space so your files may travel with you.
One of the reasons many gamers love Steam is because of the steep discounts that it offers on AAA titles during its sales. When those sales kick in, it's very easy to find your week's earnings drained within minutes.
Clearly, Steam sees that digital distribution is really peaking. With app stores such as Apple's Mac App Store finding tremendous success, Valve would be stupid not to get a cut of the pie before it's too late.
Where Steam can differentiate itself is with those crazy sales. We're not going to skirt around the bushes and say that creative software such as Adobe Creative Suite isn't expensive — it is very pricey — but if Steam can somehow sell apps like that at affordable prices, it's possible piracy could be curtailed (to some extent). Pirates tend to ditch their ways when price and convenience align (i.e. Netflix).
Look for Valve's non-gaming software to hit the Steam store on September 5.

At Google I was involved in the design and implementation of two significant languages. The first, Sawzall, was extremely parallel. The second, Go, is fundamentally concurrent. I will explain the reasons for these two languages' creation and contrast their goals and implementations.
Oops, something didn't work.
Can you please provide a link to your slides for this presentation (or send me a copy email@example.com)? Thanks!
@evandrix: We have the slides and will provide here.
Where there any more questions? The video looks like it's ending to soon.
@calinus: no that was the last question. Then Mads interrupted and said the audience could ask more questions later in the panel.

Well Christmas is over and I hope everyone had a wonderful time this year. Mine was filled with the 3 f's Fun family and food. Although I tried to be really good this Christmas I blew it yesterday. But you know I am not beating myself up over it. It happened and now I move on. I had a great day and enjoyed my family. I do feel yucky today which is a good sign to me. It is telling me I ate to much and to much of the wrong stuff.
Today I will be better because I don't like this feeling. I am starting out well. I got on spark people today. We will go from there. Have a great day.
I am taking a 3 day holiday from sparkpeople. This is a busy family time for us. I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope the peace and joy of Christ fill your Christmas season. May god blees you all
Today in my sparkcoach lesson they challenged me to evaluate how I was really doing and to see what I really needed to change. I have gotten lazy with my measuring and tracking. I do track most of my food but this morning when I was making my husband's lunch I realized I take a scoop(about 1 tablespoon) of peanut butter every morning. I never put that in my tracking. So how much other stuff do I eat a little here and a little there and not track it. It all adds up. The other thing I have stopped doing is measuring my foods. i have been eyeballing it which I am sure I eat more than I should. Then i wonder why I can't lose this weight.
I was doing this with exercise but have stopped counting every little thing and now I am tracking only cardio and strength training stuff.
So my new goal will be to measure and track better. I know this will be hard with Christmas and New Years but I have to start somewhere and sometime. It might as well be now.
I hope everyone is doing great. We can do this.
I have this ideal schedule all planned out but many days it doesn't fit into my daily schedule. I am trying to figure out how to fit it. I know i have to make it a priority and then just do it. But you see lots of other good and important things come up and i put exercising on the back burner. Somewhere I have to see that exercising is just as important. In my mind I see myself fitting it in I am not being unrealistic in my plans I just find other things that pull me.
I am feeling like I failed my God. I have talked about trusting Him through all things. i just gave a speech to my son because he lost his wrestling match. You need to praise God when you win and when you lose. I gave myself that talk last night. If I take a look at my life it is really good. This is only cholesterol med. I am not going to die and I have not lost a love one. I need to get my priorities in order. God is in control of my life and I need to trust Him. I was having a major pity party and I am done. Sorry you had to read it. Have a great day. I know I will because my focus will be on Him and not myself.

Accelrys Acquires Environmental Health And Safety Leader ChemSW
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Sept. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelrys, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACCL), a leading provider of scientific innovation lifecycle management software, today announced that it has acquired ChemSW, Inc., an Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) compliance solutions provider. This acquisition furthers Accelrys' scientific innovation lifecycle management strategy by providing solutions for managing and tracking the source, use and disposal of chemicals along the entire lab-to-plant value chain. The ability to manage chemicals across the full product lifecycle helps organizations across industries enhance compliance with increasingly complex global, national and local environmental health and safety regulations, and is critical to advancing their sustainability strategies.
ChemSW provides a unique EH&S compliance portfolio that eliminates the inconsistencies and errors associated with the disconnected paper-based methods of chemical inventory management often used today. Errors and lack of accurate information on the location, quantity and usage of chemicals from lab to plant slows innovation, impacts operational efficiency, can threaten health and safety and puts organizations at risk of non-compliance with environmental health and safety regulations. With the acquisition of ChemSW, Accelrys offers customers an automated inventory system for tracking and tracing chemicals including: monitoring and tracking location and quantity specifics; monitoring usage; generating reports and quickly assessing hazard information during an emergency. The offering is available both on premises and via the cloud.
Combined with Accelrys' solution portfolio, ChemSW's EH&S compliance software also enables Accelrys to help support the sustainability initiatives of customers in almost every industry. Specifically, the solutions address three key areas critical to meeting the complete business sustainability challenge: improving operational efficiency, delivering innovation and meeting compliance requirements.
"Accelrys is taking a major step forward in delivering solutions that support predictive sustainable innovation; we look forward to welcoming the ChemSW team and integrating their software solutions into our larger platform," said Accelrys President and CEO Max Carnecchia. "Environmental health and safety is critical for companies across industries that rely on science to innovate – from specialty chemicals and consumer packaged goods to food and beverage, agro-science, biopharmaceuticals, and oil and gas. By adding this solution to our portfolio, we continue to set ourselves apart, providing scientific innovation lifecycle management solutions that close the productivity gap, reduce costs and ultimately speed innovation while ensuring sustainability measures are intensified."While environmental health and safety regulations exist to protect workers, equipment, facilities and the environment from the hazards associated with chemicals, the management of evolving local, state, federal, and international EH&S regulatory requirements required throughout the product development lifecycle has become complex and time-consuming. By making current, real-time chemical safety and inventory data available on demand, the ChemSW system meets the vital and evolving business need to manage EH&S requirements as a synergistic whole along the entire lab-to-plant value chain. EH&S compliance complements Accelrys' robust laboratory informatics solution portfolio, including Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs) and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), and will be integrated with the scientifically aware Accelrys Enterprise Platform for managing the end-to-end scientific innovation lifecycle.

A 12-year-old New York girl says the children's television show "Spongebob Square Pants" helped her to save her friend's life.
Miriam Starobin and Allyson Golden were in music class last week when Golden began choking on her gum.
Starobin said she immediately remembered a Sponge Bob episode where he does the Heimlich Maneuver on a friend.
"And Miriam, she goes 'Alli, are you choking?' and I go...," she said nodding.
Starobin's efforts at the Heimlich Maneuver did the trick. The gum flew out and Golden caught her breath.
"I gave her the biggest hug and I was like, 'Miriam you just saved my life. I owe you big time.' And she's just, 'Oh, no, it was no big deal,'" Golden recalled.
No gum, candy, food or drink is allowed in their classroom.
After the incident, the girls' music teacher said that Spongebob can save anyone's life.

Serious But Funny Discoveries Win Prizes

The lg Nobel Prize honors discoveries that are very scientific yet humorous. Winners include researchers who showed dung beetles navigate using the Milky Way. Other scientists proved that people who are drunk think they're more attractive.

This is what I'm wondering: How the heck did this writer get a job with Yahoo! Style? Clearly this guy has a limited grasp of English:
It's not the use of a comma instead of an em-dash or a semicolon, which is what should be used to join two independent clauses. It's the whole "wondering for more" that has me wondering if English is his first language. And makes me wonder why there's no editor to clean up his dribblings before they're posted.

"And further burnishing his credentials as a potential European leader, Letta attended last summer's Bilderberg meeting in Virginia, US."
IT IS the most famous quote in modern Italian literature, because it captures so well the cynicism and conservatism of modern Italian politics. "If we want everything to remain as it is," says Tancredi in Giuseppe di Lampedusa's "The Leopard", "everything needs to change."
For once, Italy's politicians have turned the saying on its head. On April 20th they arranged for things to stay as they were in order to get them to change. After failing to find agreement to elect a new president, the heads of Italy's two leading mainstream parties, Pier Luigi Bersani of the Democratic Party (PD) and Silvio Berlusconi of the People of Freedom (PdL) movement, went to the 87-year-old incumbent, Giorgio Napolitano, and begged him to stay on. Unsurprisingly, given his age, Mr Napolitano had discounted a second term. So he was able to make demands: he would agree only if the PD and PdL broke the deadlock that was stopping the formation of a new government.
Mr Berlusconi, who has argued for a left-right coalition ever since the election in February produced a hung parliament, needed no persuading. But Mr Bersani had sought a minority government backed by some from the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S), whose remarkable showing at the polls had given it the balance of power in the upper-house Senate. For Mr Bersani, the president's ultimatum was a bitter pill—one of several which had prompted him only the day before to say that he would resign.
The "reverse Leopard strategy", as it might be known if Italian politics were chess (rather than something infinitely more complex), worked a treat. By the close on April 23rd, the Milan bourse was up 6.7% on its level before the presidential election and the risk premium on Italian government bonds had dropped by 29 basis points (though that also had something to do with central-bank moves in Japan and the United States).
The next day the new-old President Napolitano asked Enrico Letta (pictured above), Mr Bersani's deputy, to put together a government. In doing so, he deftly blunted the criticism of those such as the M5S's co-founder, Beppe Grillo, who had depicted his re-election as a manoeuvre to block the rejuvenation of Italy's ageing political class. At 46, Mr Letta will not only be modern Italy's second-youngest prime minister, but one of the youngest leaders in Europe—just two months older than Britain's David Cameron.
As a Catholic and economic liberal, he is near the centre of the political spectrum. But he faces a delicate task in assembling a cross-party team that can win a majority in parliament. As markets began to grasp the extent of his difficulties, the spread between Italian and German bonds widened again (even if the stockmarket remained in celebratory mood). Mr Letta signalled that he wanted to challenge German-enforced austerity in the euro zone. And in a hint that he already has a clear programme in mind, he said he was not ready to put together a government "at any cost". He will need to take account of the PdL's sensitivities (Mr Berlusconi's block won only 0.4% less of the vote in the election than the centre-left). But the tensions in his own party could be even more problematic.
For the PD's ever-fragile unity has been utterly shattered by the presidential election. Mr Bersani began with a U-turn that bewildered and angered many of his followers. Instead of testing a candidate who might have appealed to the M5S, he opted for a deal with Mr Berlusconi to elect a former Christian Democrat and trade unionist, Franco Marini. But for some in the PD, Mr Marini was too close to Italy's ageing political establishment. Others feared that Mr Berlusconi's true concern was not to give the country stability, but to get a hand on the levers of power so as to help him overcome his problems with the law. The TV magnate is a defendant in four trials, including one in which he is accused of paying a 17-year-old girl for sex.
The first round of voting, in an electoral college that included the members of both legislative chambers, saw a revolt on a scale rarely witnessed in a parliamentary democracy. In a secret ballot, more than 100 PD electors failed to give Mr Marini their support. This was the spark that ignited a civil war that lasted until the penultimate round of voting and in which score-settling mingled with, and often eclipsed, conviction.
In a desperate second U-turn, Mr Bersani opted for a candidate who, although he appalled the PdL, is widely respected in the centre-left: Romano Prodi, who has twice defeated Mr Berlusconi for the premiership. Bizarrely, the former president of the European Commission learnt of his candidacy at a UN conference in Mali. It was there too that he learnt it had been killed by another mass PD rebellion.
The dizzying turns of events over just seven days ought to be good news for Mr Grillo and his less visible co-founder, Gianroberto Casaleggio. A government that brings together the PD and the PdL will support their argument that there is little to distinguish the right from the left in Italy and that the PD, like the PdL, forms part of one big, self-serving caste. Yet the satisfaction that brings will come at a high price. By refusing to co-operate with Mr Bersani, the M5S has lost its chance to influence government policy.
That may not worry the purists, for whom the M5S exists to replace party democracy with referendums on the internet. But it may already have dismayed many who voted the party two months ago in hopes of forcing change. A regional election in the north-east saw the M5S's share of the vote plunge by eight percentage points. The voters opted instead for a 42-year-old lawyer, Debora Serracchiani. Though from a different faction than Mr Letta, she too belongs to the economically liberal centre-left. It was the place to be in Italy this week.
Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
"And further burnishing his credentials as a potential European leader, Letta attended last summer's Bilderberg meeting in Virginia, US."
Having followed the event live, I would like to point out some inaccuracies contained in the article:
- "In a desperate second U-turn, Mr Berlusconi opted for a candidate who, although he appalled the PdL, is widely respected in the centre-left: Romano Prodi, who has twice defeated Mr Berlusconi for the premiership." Naturally, the first "Mr Berlusconi" is supposed to be "Mr Bersani";
- Napolitano's demands in order to accept a second term had nothing to do with Bersani's decision to resign; in fact, after Prodi had failed to be elected, Bersani had already stated that he would resign soon after the election (at that point, Napolitano's name was not circulating yet).
- Although I strongly disagree with the M5S's way of doing things, it is not 100% correct to say that they were the only ones refusing to cooperate, for Bersani and the PD also refused many offers (some may call them "blackmails", but that is not the point) put forward by the M5S. I daresay Grillo and Casaleggio were hoping for such a result (a government by both the PdL and PD would purportedly make wonders for them in the next election - but that remains to be seen).
Thanks for picking up the fake "Mr Berlusconi". That should be changed soon.
On the second point, we do make it clear that Bersani's decision to resign preceded his encounter with the president. And on the third, we don't say that the M5S was the only non-cooperator. Economist word restrictions take a toll on a full explanation! But you're absolutely right on both points.
"Mr Letta signalled that he wanted to challenge German-enforced austerity in the euro zone."
Bravo, Letta!
Letta has doesn't have J.H.'s misconception ("German"-enforced it ain't).
Letta's position is more nuanced. His claim was more along the lines of "austerity alone isn't enough"/ there has been too much emphasis on deficit cutting to the detriment of other priorities like tackling unemployment, making Italy more meritocratic and cleaning up politics.
And there he's absolutely right. At 46 years old, let's hope he sets a wider trend in Italian politics away from geriatrics and towards modernity.
Mr. Grillo and his followers should have remembered the wise words of that old Machiavellian Andreotti: "Power is a strain - on those who haven't got it."
It must be feared that a promising movement to clean up politics will end up like the "Uomo Qualunque" in the forties.
Perhaps not feared, hoped.
Actually there's a common strand between german and italian politics. Both have upstart internet-democracy parties. (5SM in italy, Pirate-Party in Germany).
But the Pirates peaked at the turn of the year with 11%, and are now down below the critical 5% hurdle again. Internal quarrels spilling out into media coverage made them look simply chaotic. But that is, to an extent, the point of an internet-democracy party, no?
This is something 5SM have avoided, since they have a charismatic (extra-parliamentary) leader and his cerebral, media-shy accomplice.
I'm actually surprised they've maintained parliamentary cohesion so well. But they do it, by building up a tension with the ideas of internet-based democracy. It doesn't look sustainable to me.

I think, the German pirate party and M5S cannot really be compared. The German pirates, like their Swedish counterparts, are a party focussing on internet issues alone.
Grillo's movement is about Italian politics in general. And Grillo himself, as somebody here rightly put it, is absolutely satisfied with the others forming a coalition. Grillo was surprised by his overwhelming success at the elections, and his movement was not really prepared to govern, just for inexperience. In his "party programme", there are huge gaps.
A PD/PDL coalition gives him the time needed to work on his political concepts, particularly in economic policies. Moreover, this coalition (if it comes about) will further contribute to the decline of the PD.
The left is already falling apart into the SEL under Vendola, the "Renziani", and some remains of the traditional PD groups.
If Renzi does not succeed in re-building the PD - which I doubt - Grillo will end up as being the only alternative to Berlusconi.

Paste Magazine Folds
Just over a year ago, Paste, the magazine that covered music, films, and culture (which sometimes included design, but was a well-designed magazine in and of itself), launched a campaign to raise desperately needed funds to keep itself afloat. Donations came in from readers, which staved off its death, at least until now. We just received a tip that Paper's associate editor, Rachael Maddux, had Tweeted last night that she was "suddenly in the market for a job." That, on top of relative quiet from both its usually chatty publisher and editor in chief seemed to say that something was definitely up. Gawker has now drummed up a couple more posts by (former) employees, as well as a tip that the entire staff was brought in and told about the closure yesterday afternoon. While an official release has yet to be published, based on all that information, it seems safe to assume that Paste is no more.
