How Your Retail Business can benefit from an EPoS system
Having an EPoS system no matter what type of business you might have is sure to help your overall sales and profit to benefit in many ways. Technology has long been evolving in the retail sector and having an electronic point of sale system is a good way to cut down on man power as well as saving valuable time to concentrate on more important business developments.
Having a clear concise method of driving sales using core values should be the first port of call for any business manager. So looking into how technology can benefit your chain of retail stores, or indeed singular retail store could turn out to be a lot more advantageous than you ever imagined.
So what function does an EPoS system have you might ask? This is basically an innovative piece of retail equipment used to keep a record of important data such as; stock checks, customer behaviour and supplier information. If you're interested in finding out where you can buy useful retailing equipment, take a look at Nisyst who offer many different types of bespoke business equipment that is sure to save you time and money in the long run.
Looking into the benefits of business managers who may be considering investing some of their budget on an EPoS system, the following points will hopefully illustrate how useful this piece of equipment can be…
- Stock checks. Using technology to carry out your weekly stock checks will quicken up this task which many of your staff may find particularly mundane. It's only human nature that our eyes get tired over a long period of time, especially when completing fairly routine tasks like counting items of retail stock.
- Save money on hiring staff. An EPoS system does things a lot quicker and this will help you to cut down on the amount of staff you need to hire to help keep your business functioning to the highest standard.
- Monitor profits. As an EPoS system can store lots of information on different databases this can be useful for helping you as a business manager to keep on top of things like which items are selling the most and how many more you need to order from suppliers.
Efficiency, planning and organisation are all key factors which contribute to the success of any retail store which is why so many business managers are now choosing to use electronic devices like the EPoS. Here is a useful article which details other important qualities a business owner needs to adopt in order to keep their business on the right track.
Could Educational Software Replace Teachers?
Every year more and more of our world becomes digital. You no longer have to leave your house to go shopping or to socialise with your friends. The point could be coming where you no longer need to take children to school, but instead you pop them in front of a computer and let educational software teach them. There is already a vast amount of software available to help your child learn arithmetic and reading, as well as knowledge about how the world works. One website called IXL has sections like comparing, size and money for children of reception age and even has relevant pages for secondary school children in year 1o.
In Eagle County, Colorado, the school district decided to begin replacing foreign language teachers with educational software. The news was met with serious backlash especially from teachers who are obviously becoming more aware that they could be replaced by computers, especially as buying a computer and some software costs a lot less then paying a teachers wage.
If you are a teacher there might not need to be any need to worry yet, as there is a lot left to be desired from Educational Software, it is missing that human level of interaction. An educational piece of software can give you an assignment to do but it cannot motivate you to do it. Recorded lessons may deliver all the facts, but a recording cannot gage the classes reaction to change the tone or answer a students questions or queries.
Educational software at the moment is still only a teaching tool, not a teacher. If teachers begin to be replaced by current software, students are likely to suffer. If there is anyone hoping that educational software becomes more proficient it will not teahcers. Any advances that could be made might be funded by educational bodies or Governments who hope they can save money on their yearly budgets by replacing a teacher with a teacher-tron.
What To Look For When Hiring An IT Support Specialist
When it comes to hiring an IT support specialist to enable your business' IT systems to run efficiently at all times, there's a few things you need to consider. IT support comes in different forms, from in-house specialist engineers to remote support teams and its absolutely vital that you assess yours and your companies needs prior to employing a team or support engineer. We thought we'd take a look at the different options in terms of support engineers and try and make the job of deciding what's best for you that little bit easier.
In-House Support
Whether you employ a whole team of IT support specialists or a single engineer, in-house IT support is perfect for larger businesses who run large and complex computer networks and telecoms infrastructures. When you need support on a daily basis, from simple email issues to more complex network problems, an in-house engineer or team makes perfect sense…you'll be sure there's always someone on hand to help when you need it and you'll know that any problems which arise can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Local Support
For medium sized companies who need IT support fairly regularly but not on a daily basis, employing the services of a local support team may be the best option. You're likely to find a local support team who serve a number of businesses and can offer either a set time per week at your premises or be available on call when you require assistance. For semi-regular support, it's most likely that such a service makes most sense both financially and from the point of view of not requiring a full time support engineer.
Remote Support
If you're unable to employ either of the above or simply don't require the assistance regularly enough, remote IT support makes perfect sense. Remote IT support teams are able to provide support when you need it either over the phone, via email, via live chat or via remote desktop. Most software problems encountered can be resolved in this way and it's the way support is going as far as many businesses are concerned.
Above all; the best type of IT specialist for you all depends on your individual needs, however it's something you need to spend time thinking carefully on prior to making a decision and employing the services.
We brought you this guest post courtesy of Nexus, IT support specialists who offer a quick IT support service for hundreds of businesses across the UK.
Hardware is the main physical components of your computer or laptop and does not include any program or operating system – these are software. There are basic pieces of hardware that a computer will not function without and additional hardware that will enhance the functionality of the machine.
The basic hardware needed to make a computer function and be usable is a monitor, keyboard and mouse, along with a processor, motherboard and hard drive, usually contained in a tower or box and occasionally within the screen of newer computers. Although hardware may be purchased as a package, each piece is individually upgradable or replaceable, allowing the user to improve certain functions or the system, or to replace one faulty component only rather than the entire computer. A monitor, keyboard or mouse is very easily upgraded without technical knowledge by purchasing an improved component which will plug straight into a USB socket on the computer.
Upgrading or replacing components within the computer may be undertaken without being a computer professional, but requires a little more technical knowledge and competence. Many computer users will choose to pay an expert to carry out the upgrade to avoid damaging any other part of the machine. The performance of the system for specific functions or multitasking can be improved by upgrading to a higher capacity hard drive, improved processor, larger RAM memory and a better graphics or sound card. Hardware can even be aesthetically improved with a new case to house the computer components that matches the decor!
Monitors come in all shapes and sizes to suit your technical and aesthetic requirements. From something resembling a large television set monitors for PCs have shrunk as technology has improved and monitors may now be no thicker than one centimetre. A monitor may also perform many functions and even act as the interface between computer and user.
The standard technology for modern computer monitors is TFT or thin film transistor which has millions of tiny pixels which require little energy to control them, allowing the picture to build very quickly. Prior to TFT technology CRT or cathode ray tube monitors were much more power hungry, much slower to react and display a picture and liable to burn out after a period of use. TFT monitors are more aesthetically-pleasing, take up less space, last longer and are less prone to fault. Due to the flat screen the image is truer with less distortion.
More recent advances in monitor technology see the monitor used as the main or only interface to control the computer. This technology can also be seen in touch screen mobile phones. A touch screen computer monitor has two films at the front of the screen which detect the touch of a stylus or human finger eliminating the need for a mouse control and allowing more creative and instinctive interactions with the computer. Touch screen technology is used in the latest portable computing device which features no keyboard, mouse or pad controller and is totally controlled by the user's touch.
Data Storage
Making backups of vital data stored on your computer is very important, particularly if the loss of that data could cause problems for you. There are so many ways to easily make copies and backups these days that there is little excuse, aside from laziness, for not making backups of these files! You could burn them to a DVD or a CD, store them on a high capacity memory card, or even upload them onto a website such as Rapidshare.
If you need to make a backup of a fairly large file then DVD duplication is the way forward. DVDs can store almost 5gb of data, so if you want to take a back up of videos or images then this is the ideal way to do it! Most new computers come equipped with a DVD writer, so DVD duplication at home couldn't be easier. Many people who use a digital camera to take photos will often burn copies of their pictures to a DVD for storage, particularly if the photos are especially sentimental, as loosing the files stored on the hard drive of a computer could be quite traumatic.
Re-writable DVDs are also excellent for people who are planning on sharing and transferring data as they can be wiped as reused as often as you like. However, USB memory sticks offer the same function and they are much more convenient. They also often have a much higher capacity than DVDs.
PC Equipment
There's plenty of equipment that you can use to get the most out of your PC. Of course, some peripherals will be most essential than others, and your PC will still have a massive range of functionality even if you're just using the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
The fact that most modern LCD TVs also double up nicely as PC monitors is leading many people to make use of increasingly large monitors. Also many people are also moving their PCs into their living rooms so they can view programs or films they've downloaded on a large screen, or even play games. Large screen TVs are cheaper than ever now and you can easily pick up an LG 42 LCD TV for a bargain prices from your local electronics shop. However, if you looking online you'll find that many internet retailers are able to offer you an even better price on LG 42 LCD TVs than any high street shops, so if you're after a bargain price new TV then get online!
There are plenty of other pieces of equipment you can buy to use with your PC. For example, a printer is an extremely useful item if you want to print off documents or images. Printers capable of producing high quality photographic prints can be bought relatively cheaply, as well as printers with integrated scanners, so you can scan images and documents to use on your computer.
Computer Training
Many people who are not comfortable with using a computer, particularly people of the older generation may want to consider enrolling in a computer training course. There are plenty of computer training courses available to help people of all abilities and ages get to grips with using a computer, so whether you've had plenty of experience in using a computer in the past, or you're entirely new to them you should have no difficulty in locating a course being run in your local area that is suitable for you.
However, many people may find that they simply do not have the time to enrol on one of these courses. Thankfully, there are plenty of computer training courses available online. Many of these online computer training schemes will involve information and assignments being emailed to you. The cost of these online computer training courses varies significantly depending upon the content and complexity of the course.
Many of the computer training courses currently available could turn out to be extremely useful for you, particularly if you complete them successfully. Some people have found that they have been able to pursue a career in IT, or further their existing career after completing a computer training course. If you'd like to take steps to advance your existing career, or perhaps forge a new one then you'll find that computer training courses may be able to help you significantly, particularly if you work or are planning to work in the IT industry.
Educational Software
Educational software is frequently used in many schools, colleges and other educational institutions for a variety of different purposes. There is a huge range of educational software on the market and since home computers first became widely available their potential as a useful educational tool has been exploited to its full potential. Most schools today will have many computer terminals in their possession, often housed in specific computer labs. These machines will often be equipped with a wide range of educational software useful for various different topics. The type of educational software found on most school computers ranges from very simple programs aimed at teaching children new to computers how to use their basic functions to much more elaborate and advanced software for older and more experienced pupils.
Educational software is also widely used in other academic institutions, for example, many universities and other places of higher education will often encourage their students to make effective use of a variety of different educational software programs. The use of this software is sometimes essentially to the successful competition of a course.
Educational software is also commercially available for use at home. These software packages are ideal for parents who are looking to give their children a head start at school. A great deal of the educational software packages currently available can be ordered online, or in some cases even downloaded. Some of the educational software available for home use is endorsed by examination boards and their content is relevant to the national curriculum.

489 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K29 BATAVIA, 25 December 1947, 4.20 p.m.
Annex 1. [1]
Plan for Implementation of Truce.
Committee recommends- (1) That a stand fast and cease fire order be issued separately and simultaneously by both parties. This order will apply to the troops of both parties along the 'Van Mook Line' and in areas specified in the following paragraph.
(2) That in the first instance and for the time being demilitarized zones be established in general conformity with the Van Mook Line; these zones as a rule will comprise territories between the Van Mook Line and on the one side the line of the Dutch forward positions and on the other side the line of Republican forward positions, average width of each of the zones being approximately the same. The Committee has not at this time sufficient data for it to determine where the demilitarized zones should be drawn in relation to West Java. For this reason the Committee reserves its attitude regarding delineation of such zones until its advisers have had opportunity to make enquiries in the areas concerned. In these areas a stand fast and cease fire will apply to the troops of both parties in their present positions. The Committee will if so required instruct its military advisers to make appropriate enquiries as soon as the truce plan is agreed upon.
(3) That the establishment of demilitarized zones in no way prejudices the rights, claims or position of the parties under the resolutions of the Security Council of 1st August, 25th August, 26th August and 1st November.
(4) That upon the acceptance of the foregoing by both parties the Committee will place at the disposal of both parties its Military Advisers who will be instructed to assume in the first instance responsibility for determining whether any incident requires enquiry by higher authorities of either or both of the parties.
(5) That pending a political settlement responsibility for the maintenance of law and order and security of life and property in demilitarized zones will remain vested in the civil police forces of the respective parties. The Committee's Military Advisers will be available to advise the appropriate authorities of the parties and to serve in such other proper capacities as may be requested.
Among others they should- (a) Call upon pools of police officers of both sides to be accompanied and helped in their endeavours and moves all over the two demilitarized zones.
(b) Promote cooperation between the two police forces.
(6) That trade and intercourse between all areas should be permitted as far as possible; such restrictions as may be necessary will be agreed upon by the parties with the assistance of the Committee and its representatives if required.
(7) That this agreement shall include all points already agreed to in principle by the parties.
(8) That on acceptance of the foregoing the Committee's Military Advisers accompanied by representatives of the two parties will immediately conduct enquiries to establish whether elements of Republican forces continue to offer resistance behind the present forward positions of the Netherlands forces. If enquiry establishes the existence of such forces these would withdraw as set out in the following paragraph.
(9) That all forces of each party in any area accepted as a demilitarized zone or in any area on the other party's side of a demilitarized zone, with the exception given in paragraph 2 will, under the observation of Military Advisers of the Committee and with arms and war-like equipment move peacefully to territory on the party's own side of the demilitarized zones.

So, Jersey Shore's Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola apparently is the latest celeb to be caught in a leaked nude photo scandal. Nude photos of a woman who is said to be Sammi Giancola posing on the bed have begun circulating the web, and though they are hard to find and seem to be getting removed quickly. And you thought JWowwwould be the first of the Jersey Shore cast to have "leaked" nude photos of herself on the Internet, but it looks like Sammi Sweetheart beat her to the punch. But she is denying that the photos are of her of course.
Anyway, we cannot solidly say they are 100% authentic. But a lot of people seem to be talking about her leaked nudes so I am going with it. Supposedly over 50 celebs had their computers and e-mails hacked so this leak could be related to that. Scarlett Johansson is said to have had her iPhone hacked, which is cool because I didn't know was possible. LOL... But means that there will be nude photos of Scarlett hitting the web soon. Can't wait for that... And while I can't vouch for the authenticity of the first pic of Sammi below, I can vouch for the fact that it shows a nice pussy. Enjoy!

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 5
Posted By: SueDate: July-17, 1998 at 12:57:47
In Response To: Reflections of the work of David McClellan as it pertains to these Boards (OJoan)
Good post -- thought-provoking and debatable. I think I agree with two of the posters who say that humor is a sign of good health -- with one qualification, only if it's not at the expense of others. Another sign of good health is being able to think well about others.
Now, about esoteric literature. What McClellan says may have some truth to it on a practical, sociological level. However, good children's stories transcend all levels to show the hidden mysteries in all humans and in life. (Source -- John Anthony West, Serpent in the Sky). I'm also thinking of Joseph Campbell as I write this.

In The Kitchen: How I Like To Juice At Home
Keep it simple
Posted October 15th, 2012 by noelle | No Comments
Growing up, my mom and dad would often serve us a glass of fresh vegetable juice. Often the juice recipes were made with sweet carrots, juicy celery stalks, tangy apples, fresh spinach and lemon. I loved them. And to this day, whenever I want to glow from the inside out, I turn to a few glasses of fresh vegetable juice. This is how I like to do it.
Start with a good base
I like to use juicy stalks of celery and large wedges of cucumber for the base of my juices. Celery juice is extremely hydrating and cucumber juice is cool and cleansing. I like to make at least half of a 16 ounce mug of juice from either celery or cucumber juice or some combination of the two.
Add a touch of sweetness
My favorite natural sweeteners are green apples, pears, beets and carrots. At the moment I'm on a beet kick. Beet juice is sweet and is believed to purify and rejuvenate your body. These are some of the ways I've been enjoying beet juice this week.
Toss in a handful of leafy greens
I like to incorporate a handful of baby spinach, a large leafy green piece of kale, a few collard greens and even a small bunch of parsley. The leafy greens pack a vitamin and mineral-drenched kick to my juices.
Be creative with the extras
I love to add a ½" – 1" piece of fresh ginger to my juice. I toss it right into my juicer, unpeeled. Fresh ginger is rich in antioxidants and provides a gentle immune boost. I also love to add a half of a lemon, which is a powerful detoxifier.
Juicer recipes
Need a boost? These are a few of my favorite recipes that I like to make with my Breville juicer. This juicer is the one I recommend to all my friends.

1. "Christmas Tree" by Lady Gaga feat. Space Cowboy
Before Lady Gaga went all serious, seeking credibility over raunch, she boinked Santa Claus (or one of his elves) underneath a Christmas tree. Then, feeling inspired, she and one of her early producers, Space Cowboy (that's him on the second verse), wrote this song to commemorate the occasion. It may be a nice little ditty that combines elements of several classic holiday songs, but when you're done listening to it, you'll feel so dirty you'll want to roast your chestnuts over an open fire.

Finally we are starting to get bloom here!!!
This is a bloom from the orange-centered odorata that I mentioned in another thread. |
Image link: Orange Centered Odorata (17 k)
Follow-Up Postings:
I love it! This one is my favorite by far. The striking contrast with the apricot center is absolutely outstanding. |
Hi! I saw this "new" violet, in Melbourne in July 2006. Dear ROb , where are you to explain? LimXYan |
Hello Yann, Yes, Rob Peace does have an orange-centered odorata also (that he was going to call "Heart of Gold"). I haven't heard from him in a while, to hear if his seedling is still growing. I was afraid that I'd lost my seedling over the winter, but it surprised me, by being just fine. Rob sent me a picture of his orange-centered seedling, but I'm not sure if he'd want it posted, so I'll leave that to him. The two seedlings do seem to be different enough to tell apart, from the pictures. Best wishes, Tom |
Oh and I forgot -- thanks Stefan, I'm hoping to increase the size of the orange area in future generations. |
I love that one too and I'd like to place my order for a future form with the orange on the outside of the petal!!! lol ;-)) |

6. Survivor: Palau (Winner: Tom Westman)
I loved watching one tribe decimate the other, culminating with Stephenie becoming a tribe of one. And the challenges may have been Survivor's best ever. What's interesting about Palau is that we basically all knew Tom would win from episode 1, but it was still gripping nonetheless.
7. Survivor: Philippines (Winner: ???)
And here we are. This season is all about one thing: casting, casting, casting. When you look back on what happened, while there were a lot of shake-ups with the voting, there weren't a whole lot of jaw-on-the-floor shocking moments. So why is it so high? Because the casting and storylines that developed gave us people to root for and against — something every great Survivor season needs. And how awesome is this final four? No matter who ends up winning, you have to feel pretty good about it. When's the last time you could say that with four people left? Go Lisa! Go Skupin! Go Malcolm! Go Denise!
8. Survivor: Samoa (Winner: Natalie White)
Russell's controlling of the game (especially post-merge when his side was down 8-4) was truly a work of art. Evil genius art. He was robbed in the end, though, in the most controversial jury decision ever.
9. Survivor: Marquesas (Winner: Vecepia Towery)
An underrated season that saw the first totem pole shake-up: where people on the bottom got together to overthrow those on the top. Yes, it was a weak final two, but it also had a woman peeing on a guy's hand. Plus: Purple rock!!!
10. Survivor: Cook Islands (Winner: Yul Kwon)
What a difference a mutiny makes. It was listless until that fateful moment when Candice and Penner stepped off the mat. Then we finally had underdogs to root for. The Tribal Council fire-making tiebreaker between Sundra and Becky may be the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
11. Survivor: China (Winner: Todd Herzog)
Really good cast. Really bad location. Todd completely owned that final Tribal Council. That's how you win a million dollars.
12. Survivor: Australian Outback (Winner: Tina Wesson)
An overrated season, and one that seems to keep moving down my list. Probst loves it. I didn't. Solid but unspectacular. Pretty predictable boot order as well. Dude did burn his hands off, though.
13. Survivor: South Pacific (Winner: Sophie Clarke)
Even I'm surprised by how high I'm putting this, especially considering how much it has in common with the season that aired directly before it, which I didn't like: the same twist of two returning players, Redemption Island, the predictable vote-offs, no real water challenges, etc…. But there is one thing I really did dig about this season, and that is the cast. I was invested in the players and their fates — the ones I wanted to do well, and not so well. Plus, this season gave us three signature moments: Ozzy volunteering to go to Redemption, Cochran flipping, and Brandon giving away his immunity.
14. Survivor: Tocantins (Winner: J.T. Thomas)
Okay, you may roll your eyes at Coach 1.0. But imagine for a second this season without him. Bo-ring! His unintentional comedy single-handedly lifted this into the middle of the pack. Seriously, other than Tyson getting blindsided, were there any memorable moments that didn't involve the Steven Seagal wannabe?
15. Survivor: All-Stars (Winner: Amber Brkich)
Overall, a bit of a letdown, but man, were there some hate-fueled fireworks at those final few Tribal Councils. Plus: Best. Reunion Show. Ever. (Remember Jerri getting literally booed off the stage?)

Last year we asked our members and guests to tell us how Servus Place moves them. What we heard was inspiring - from Amanda who transformed her life and lost 140 lbs, to Kent who purchased his first fitness centre membership ever after trying drop in classes, to Rosalind who water walked her way back to health after cancer treatments. What we learnt was that Servus Place was helping to change people's lives.
We are currently looking for members and guests willing to share their Servus Place stories. We want to know how Servus Place has impacted your life. Don't think you have a story to tell? Think again. No story is too insignificant if it inspires just one other person to follow a path to better health and well-being.

Francis Roces on finding one's path and the art of balancing art and commerce

7/30/13Another week is on its way, and another month is about to end. Things come, and things go. That is life. I am writing this blog to talk about things in my life. I am adjusting to the decisions that I have made in the past. Since I have been laid off from my server job, I have been trying to make things work on a limited budget. There are days where I wished that it was just me and my sewing machine. But bills can only wait for so long, and the complications of being in a long-term relationship come a-calling.
Today, I worked alongside my life partner at his work, and I got to see how he spends his days. It was nice to see a day in his work-life. He told me that he liked having me around because I made things easier for him. I answered the phone and handed him tools as he installed window tints at homes in Parker and Highlands Ranch. That made a full day.
Lately, I have been traveling lighter and looking for ways to get rid of stuff. I have donated a quarter of my closet to a local thrift store and disposed of 75 percent of my magazines. It might be because I am getting older and things that interested me in the past no longer hold my attention.
Since I have been in the PAIR program at the PowerHaus Studio, I have been using fabrics that have been in my stash for good, long time. I am progressively going through my patterns and sorting them out. I have been sewing as much as I can and working on future collections. I'm getting more selective on the shows I do and not worrying about what people say. I know who I like working with and who I'd rather not talk about. Like the saying goes, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all."

Watch: VIBE Acts On Bad Intentions To Drake's 'Worst Behaviour'
Drake gave bad behavior a great name when he dropped the devil-may-care anthem "Worst Behaviour" on his third LP Nothing Was The Same in September. While Aubrey Graham preps his own visual treatment on the streets of Memphis—equipped with a cameo from his OVO regime team and Daddy dearest—the VIBE staff swiped his no-fucks-given swag and delivers a visual worth reprimanding. The best is yet to come. Roll it below.

30 April 2010
Abigroup's National Road Manager Arvo Tinni has been awarded the prestigious John Shaw Medal for 2010. He was presented with the Medal at a Gala Dinner at the Roads Australia Annual Summit in Sydney.
The John Shaw Medal has been awarded annually since 1978 by Roads Australia in recognition of outstanding service to road transport in Australia. An award is only made when the selection committee is satisfied that a candidate merits pre-eminent industry recognition - Arvo's award was only the 14th Medal presented in the 32 years since its inception.
The citation for his award states, "A true pioneer of modern road construction techniques, Arvo Tinni's contributions in the fields of road construction and maintenance, pavement design, administration, quality assurance and mentoring of young engineers are esteemed by his peers not only in NSW, but throughout Australia and internationally.
"Arvo Tinni has spent his working life in the pursuit of excellence. His body of work covers not only the practical side of construction but also embraces leading edge design and research. He has a legendary ability to unravel complex problems and come up with innovative solutions.
"Many of the ideas developed by Arvo Tinni, such as road maintenance policies, model specifications and quality assurance in road contracts, have become industry performance standards which exemplify engineering excellence."
Arvo's distinguished careers stretches over 50 years and he has worked for Abigroup for the past 15 years.
"I'm delighted to receive the John Shaw Medal and also pleased for my company Abigroup: as it's only the second time an employee from a private construction company has received this award," said Arvo.
"The Australian road construction industry has undergone many changes for the better over the course of my career and I'm proud to have played a part in helping along this process."
Among some of Arvo's achievements are:
The John Shaw Medal citation concludes with the words, "Arvo Tinni gives generously of his time and expertise to educate others. He mentors young engineers and shares his vast experience and knowledge through regular technical papers which he writes and publishes."
The Medal is awarded in honour of the work of John Shaw who was Commissioner of the NSW Department of Main Roads from 1962 to 1967 and then went on to become Commissioner of the City of Sydney and National President of the Australian Road Federation.

ArtSounds presents collaborative performances by composers, performers and visual artists. Initiated by faculty from the Kansas City Art Institute and University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance, ArtSounds explores cross-media expression through creative concert-making. Co-directors Mara Gibson and Paul Rudy set the stage for concert events outside the box and inside the mind's eye and the eye's ear.
Faculty partners from each institution work as co-conspirators from vision and sound to produce provocative events that explore media and music, demonstrating how art sounds and music sees. In ArtSounds performances, vision informs hearing and hearing guides sight in this essential dialogue at the messy intersections of human experience.
ArtSounds performances take place at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month in Epperson Auditorium in Vanderslice Hall on the campus of the Kansas City Art Institute, unless otherwise noted. Performances are free and open to the public
Below is the schedule of performances for the 2014-2015 academic year. This is the ninth year of ArtSounds performances.
Sept. 2, 2014 – EVENT CANCELED – "Cross-overs," featuring the Amrein-Pötzsch trombone and piano duo.
Oct. 14, 2014 - "713: Disturbing the Dust," featuring artist David Huerbin and composer Ryan Oldham, transports the audience into the backrooms of an old building Huerbin and Oldham once called home. Interpreted in several visual and audio vignettes, viewers will experience the wonder, nostalgia and mystery that inspired and changed the artists some 15 years ago.
Event poster
Nov. 11, 2014 - "Folding Time" with Tom Aber and Dwight Frizzell, associate professor of photography and digital filmmaking at KCAI.
Feb. 10, 2015 - "What if in KC/CT?" organized by John Baker, Gene Gort, Daniel Morel and Ken Steen.
This hour-long program is an audio and visual exploration of intentionality and randomness. Short audio and video works were created separately and randomly paired, resulting in interesting connections for audience members with no preconceived thoughts on how audio relates to video.
March 10, 2015 - "Anolog Drift" with Eric Souther, Michael Miller, Eli Hougland, Russell Thorpe, Brian Padavic, David McIntire and Joshua Wise.
April 14, 2015 - "Splines Reticulated" featuring composer Andrew Cole, pianist Kari Johnson and video artist David Steele Overholt

San Pedro Of Atacama Trip
From MN150
In 1949, Martin Wilms and his boy Earl obtained the territory and designed a 49 model hotel that they named the El Rancho de Mill Motor Hotel. The location was ideal for servicing vehicle traffic coming and heading from what was then called Mills Industry, which all of us understand and love ( often) as San Francisco Bay Area International Airport (SFO).
The cause why shore marriages have become in reputation, over the past few years, is because of the gorgeous, tender and spectacular views that such a location delivers. After all, who could resist a wedding back-drop that's provided free by nature - gold sand, swaying natural palms, a limitless heavens, orange waters and superb sunsets? Beach unions may be used anytime of day or evening and still have matchless, appeal. Sunrise, afternoon or at sundown are all excellent moments for seaside weddings and equally wonderful could be the noise of the dunes with a star-studded, air at night. These are aspects that produce a beachfront such a practical place.
But you could get a BART practice to SFO the evening before and stay at the El Rancho for a free of charge cab for the airport. The cheapest non-park and travel costs start at an astounding $88, a brilliant bargain taking into consideration the quality of this property. Of course, like any resort in the San Francisco Bay Region, expect to pay also the summer and during chaotic tradition times when occupancy is superior.
Its roots began in 1775 when Jose Sanchez, a of the Jauan Baptiste p Anza venture, was handed the 14,000 acre parce of territory known as Rancho Buri Buri. The Very Best American Plus El Rancho Inn and Fits stands on part of that Spanish land grant. You is able to see some of that record if you go to the hotel. The two large redwood trees at the west entrance of the Rooftop Caf were grown at a service to honour the signing of the grant.
Eastern suburbs/City: Sydney Harbor is enclosed by way of a large selection of riverside eateries and world-wide resorts. Delving merely yards inland is where in actuality the fun actually begins. 'The Rubble' houses Australia's first truly proven village and is where Sydney itself was discovered by Englishman Captain Cook more than two hundred years ago. Nowadays, The Rocks and Circular Quay have been transformed into a thrilling harbourside village combining old and new Australia.
Go here for tips on how you can save yourself $20 on its park, sleep and fly package. The hotel gives you 14 free days parking at SFO, free day snack, free WiFi, of course if your fight is delayed, you don't have to loaf around the airport having overpriced poor food, they'll shuttle you back to the resort where you could enjoy all the resort's establishments including its exercise place and pool for free. But on best of that, if your journey is terminated or detained before the overnight, you can remain at the inn for free!

Anyone growing grapes in N. AL ? If so do you know iof any good sites to learn how to grow, prune, etc ?
TIA, Vicki |

No, not yet, but we are planning on growing grapes in the future on a trellis that runs above our bedroom window on the south side of our house. I am finding loads of information at our public library. The last books I checked out were "The Alabama Fruit and Vegetable Book" by Felder Rushing (lots about pruning), and "Eat More Dirt" by Ellen Sandbeck. Both are really helpful to me. |
- Posted by vickibre2003 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 12, 06 at 22:03
Thanks, I will check and see if I can find those books here, my S-I-L planted three vines a few years ago, built a big trellis for them, but has never "really" cared for them at all, I think they need some food and pruning for sure and I will water them this summer so maybe we will get a grape or two, have no idea what kind they are. |

Pruning: History rather than position gives the main shoot dominance
22 September 2009
Scientists have shown that the main shoot dominates a plant's growth principally because it was there first, rather than due to its position at the top of the plant.
Collaborating teams from the University of York in the UK and the University of Calgary in Canada combined their expertise in computational modelling and molecular genetics to make a significant discovery that helps explain why pruning encourages plants to thrive.
The research was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
Led by Professors Ottoline Leyser and Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and published by the journal PNAS, the research showed that all shoot tips on a plant can influence each other's growth.
Professor Leyser, of the University of York's Department of Biology, said: "It is well known that the main growing shoot of a plant can inhibit the growth of the shoots below – that's why we prune to encourage growth of branches. What we are interested in is exactly how the main shoot can exert this effect.
"It has been known since the 1930s that the plant hormone auxin is released by the plant's actively growing tip and is transported down the main stem where it has an indirect effect on buds to inhibit branching. There are a number of ways in which the hormone exerts this effect and we have discovered a new path by which it works."
The research suggests that for a shoot tip to be active, it must be able to export auxin into the main stem. But if substantial amounts of auxin already exist in the main stem, export from an additional shoot tip cannot be established.
Professor Leyser said: "Using this mechanism, all the shoot tips on a plant compete with each other, so that tips both above and below can influence each other's growth. This allows the strongest branches to grow the most vigorously, wherever they may be on the plant. The main shoot dominates mostly because it was there first, rather than because of its position at the apex of the plant."
The teams went on to show that the recently discovered plant hormone, strigolactone, works at least in part by making it harder to establish new auxin transport pathways from shoot tips, strengthening the competition between auxin sources and reducing branching.
Understanding of the action and interaction of these hormones can inform horticultural practices aimed at changing branching patterns in diverse crops.
The research also involved scientists at the Department of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Growing Bearded Irises These majestic flowers are surprisingly easy to grow, and actually require less attention than almost any other garden flowers. Your iris roots will arrive already growing in a small pot, with this spring's growth beginning. When you plant, you'll find the root is not really a bulb, but what is called a rhizome--an irregularly shaped bulbous root that grows at a right angle from the foliage. Simply plant the iris as it is, with the top of it showing through the soil surface. Bearded irises grow best with the tops of their rhizomes exposed. Once planted, new foliage and the flower spikes will sprout strongly from the rhizome. What's more, this summer, you'll notice the rhizome multiplying for even more flowers as years go by.

1st year not bloomed yet - expected
By Tennesse in buffalo

About Me Casual Hobbyist
Comments about American Meadows Re-blooming Bearded Iris Immortality:
Irises are my favorite flowers. It is harder to get them to bloom in their first year of planting. Seeing as how I had to transplant this iris along with a few others and forgot to label them, they have not been placed in their more permanent location. Waiting for them to bloom is very time consuming as I will have to hope for next year to find out which one is the immortality to place it. I have lost one iris to a band of lilies and I hope it was not immortality as that would be ironic.

This was a repeat order from last year. American Meadows' packaging, shipping and product quality far exceed any other company that I have dealt with. Will shop with you again as soon as my small garden has room. Will recommmend you to anyone who needs a reliable source for plants.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Joey JoJo!
Facts about Joey JoJo
- Breed: Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Joey JoJo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Joey JoJo is a 3 month old male brindle puppy who is expected to be about 30 pounds as an adult. He only weighs 10 pounds. He was thrown out of a car, which broke his leg. He is now fully recovered and doing great. We are guessing Joey JoJo is a chihuahua/terrier mix. His foster mom describes him as having long legs, big ears, a short tail, and small paws. What a combination!
Joey JoJo was recently adopted by a wonderful family who has had a sudden change in family situation that prevents them from keeping him. He is currently in a foster home in Maryland. We are urgent to find him a new home, so please consider him for your family. What a cutie who needs a new opportunity at the good life! (AE)

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Joey JoJo, a Ocala Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Ocala, or seeking a Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy from a breeder in Ocala.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ocala already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Ocala breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Chihuahua/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ocala paves the way for another one to be saved.
