Just a reminder that the Literacy Office requires that you take at least one continuing education class per year. While the Literacy Office offers plenty of opportunities throughout the year administered by our staff for tutors who are unable to attend traditional classes, online options are available. The Pro Literacy Network offers many self-paced, online courses for tutors at their website: http://www.proliteracyednet.org/articles.asp?mcid=2
What do I like about my life right now? Who challenges me and believes that I can do better? What do I need? What do I want?
Do any of these questions perk your interest? We will explore these questions and more in the next Goals Workshop on Saturday, September 14th from 10:15 a.m. -1:00 p.m. at Schusterman-Benson Library. This workshop is for adult learners and their tutors and provides an opportunity to learn something about yourself. This is not your ordinary goals-setting type of experience. Please call to reserve your spot: 918-549-7400.
Forming questions is often very difficult for English language learners. If you have a die (or a pair of dice), you can make a game of asking questions. Assign each number a question word; for example, one is who, two is what, three is where, four is when, five is why, and six is how. Roll the die, and your learner (and/or you) should ask a question using that word. The question and answer may also spark a very interesting conversation.
The book for August's meeting is The Music of Dolphins by Karen Hesse. Goodreads.com says that in our book this month, "A girl raised by dolphins must choose between two worlds in this critically acclaimed novel about what it means to be a human being."
Book Club will meet Monday, August 26th at the Herman & Kate Kaiser Library from 6:30-7:30pm. To find out more call 918-549-7400.
Do you use a dictionary during your tutoring sessions? If not, consider all of the ways it can increase your learner''s vocabulary, alphabetic principle skills, and comprehension. If you aren''t sure which dictionary to use, we can help you find one that's at an appropriate level for your adult learner. And, if you and your learner use the computer, searching for a word on the internet can be a fun way to find a definition and more!

SSISD names Prickette to vacant board seat
SULPHUR SPRINGS - The Sulphur Springs School Board Monday afternoon unanimously approved the appointment of John Prickette to fill the seat recently vacated by Foy Williams.
Williams resigned from his position January 1 due to health reasons. SSISD had postponed filling the seat in order to begin the search for a new superintendent.
According to a press release by the district, Prickette is employed by Grocery Supply Company and previously served as the Economic Development Corporation Executive Vice President in Sulphur Springs. He served as co-chair of the Citizens Committee in support of the bond proposal that was approved by voters in 2009. He has also been instrumental in developing the SOCKS (Support Our Campuses & Kids) adopt-a-school program.
"We are very excited to welcome John on the SSISD Board of Trustees. John is a strong and positive supporter of our schools and as a board we look forward to his contribution to helping lead our district in educating our children!" said Jason Dietze, Board President.

Apple Locks iPhone 6/6+ NFC To Apple Pay Only
Re:Nope they are clever (336 comments)
Wow, a post on
Hehe, with so many people on here, it's bound to happen someday!
I also agree they're arrogant (in a different way from how Apple is also arrogant). Not sure why. I'd guess they're used to being the darling of the tech industry when they still believed in "don't be evil."
Anecdote when working on a Chromecast app:
One of the Google "support" engineers (i.e. no one actually BUILDING the product, he was glorified QA) came to our office to "help" with integration/certification. On taking a lunch break with us he was shocked we wouldn't pay for his meal, and said "well, next time we should do this at at my office, we get free food!" (emphasis not added, that was his actual tone). All the while he's saying this to people who have worked for *real* startups and can tell he was probably Google employee number 30,000 (and this of course was just one example - he was unbelievably arrogant in every interaction...)
Can I reiterate enough how little shit I give about free lunch? Free lunch at a company of 50,000 employees is not a "perk", it's part of a "compensation package." But as you said, Google still tries to preserve their image of "the world's biggest startup". In some areas that is still serving them well, and in others it REALLY isn't.
That support engineer deserves to be the annoying character of a Valley made-for-tv drama or something. That's amazingly delusional for him to expect a free lunch everywhere he goes. I mean, sure, there's a number of startups who do the free lunch thing. But really?
Perhaps it's simply anecdotal, but the other company making a run for "world's biggest startup" (Facebook) doesn't seem to be arrogant. Naive, perhaps, but that's a whole nother can of worms. Most employees I've met from there also mention free food and doing fun random stuff at work, but I haven't had one rub it in my face before.

Good day / Sawasdee, My nick name is "Park" which sounds like Korean's name but I'm 100 percent Chinese born in Thailand (CBT). I've been amature radio license since 1996 when I was 16 years old. The 1st station was located inSamutprakarn (SPK) province, equipped with Yaesu VHF FM through homebrew Folded dipolex4 at 5 meters high (16 feet). Yaesu HF rig run through Diamond-CP6 6 bands vertical antenna, optional are 15 meter band inverted vee and random wire antenna connected through Yaesu FC-40 automatic antenna tuner. Also have one cheap manual antenna tuner capable for 1.8-56MHz. Since mid 2010, I bought a new house located in Nonthaburee (NTB). New antenna is homebrew vertical omni directional antenna which cover VHF and UHF band at 11meter height (34 feet) HF antenna is T2FD (23 meters long) powered by Clubstation (local brand antenna manufacturer) at 6 meter height. Since it is full size folded dipole of 40meter band and it is acting NVIS at this height, so I can made very good contact for in country communication. I have gained US extra class license (Callsign AG6FA) on April 2011 and been approved to be non-US VE after that. On Feb 2013, I have put up a new HF Hex-beam antenna and obtain new (old stock) LDG AT-100Pro II on Nov 2013. So I have dipole antenna with the directional antenna for HF band now. It happened to be lightning strike on March 2013 when the first strom hit Thailand. My radio survived by good grounding protection systembut all satelite IRD and computers with network devices were dead. I replace my gear to FT-1000MP on September 2014, it gives a lot of different communication in noisy signal with EDSP, much better than FT-857D can do. I plan to replace with FT-2000 very soon.

About the Book
Considered to be the first literary detective, C. Auguste Dupin turns his deductive skills to solving two seemingly un-solvable mysteries. In "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" Dupin must deduce the identity of the murderer of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter despite contradictory witnesses and puzzling evidence. In "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" Dupin again uses his skills to discover the identity of the murderer of Marie Rogêt, whose body has been discovered in the Seine River.
A pioneer of the short story genre, Poe's stories typically captured themes of the macabre and included elements of the mysterious. His better-known stories include "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Masque of the Red Death" and "The Tell-Tale Heart".

Brentford 1-0 Walsall
Leon Legge scored his first senior goal to put Brentford into the FA Cup third round for the first time since 2006.The defender rose to powerfully head home John Bostock's early corner and the Bees should have scored more. Mark Hughes and Matt Richards cleared efforts off the line from Ben Strevens and Ryan Dickson, and Strevens and Cleveland Taylor wasted other chances. Walsall rallied and Lewis Price had to deny Richards and Troy Deeney, while Legge superbly tackled Steve Jones. .... read more

"There are sentences that I wrote that I can see written on her face…There's nothing artificial about her. I think that's what makes her such a spectacular actress and such a relatable movie star, too. Reese is one of us. She's real people."
Is there anything more promising about the upcoming film adaptation of Wild than the approval of Cheryl Strayed herself? The author of the memoir-turned-upcoming-movie told Vogue that Reese Witherspoon, who stars in the film and is on the cover of the magazine this month, came to visit her Portland home to prepare for playing Cheryl onscreen. The two talked about "everything from our childhood to our parents and what we were like in high school to our sex lives and our love lives and our romantic histories." Beneath the surface, it seems, Reese relates to Cheryl's experiences far more than her fans might realize. Reese, who is on this month's Vogue cover, explained to the magazine: Keep reading »

Beef up Firefox Privacy Features
Productivity Sauce
Whether you want it or not, your Web activities are tracked and analyzed in many different ways. But you don't have to put up with this, especially if you are using Firefox as your primary browser. There are a few handy Firefox extensions that can beef up your favorite browser's privacy features. Here are my three personal favorites.
Besides regular cookies planted in your browser by many Web sites, some services add so-called Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects (LSO). Similar to conventional cookies, LSOs collect and share information about your Web usage. But unlike good old cookies, LSOs are particularly difficult to purge from your browser. The aptly named BetterPrivacy extension provides a simple fix to that problem. This extension lets you nuke all nasty LSOs installed in your browser one by one, or you can configure it to delete them all in one fell swoop when you close the browser.
Cookies are the most common way to track your Web activities, but they are not the only ones. Tags, Web bugs, pixels, and beacons are all used to gather information about your Web habits. The Ghostery extension is designed to block these unwelcome guests. Once installed, it sits quietly in Firefox's status bar. When Ghostery detects suspicious elements, its icon turns blue, and you can view a list of discovered trackers by right-clicking on the icon. You can then use Ghostery to view more info about the particular tracking service and block it, if necessary.
Most Web sites and services that attempt to gather information about you are small fish compared to the mighty Google. Every time you perform a search or use a Google-based service, you hand the search giant a wealth of information about you. While it's virtually impossible to prevent that from happening, you can make Google's job of collecting data much harder using the GoogleSharing extension and proxy service. According to the project's Web site, the proxy server is designed to confuse Google by "generating a pool of GoogleSharing 'identities,' each of which contains a cookie issued by Google and an arbitrary User-Agent for one of several popular browsers." The Firefox extension redirects all requests for Google services from your browser to the proxy. The proxy then strips the requests of all identifying information and replace it with information from a GoogleSharing identity. By default, the extension uses the proxy server maintained by the GoogleSharing project, but you can also set up your own proxy by installing and running the googleshare server.

Normally the image of a little boy hanging himself would be regarded as one of the most depressing acts ever committed to film, but in "Sweet Dreams", it's a breath of fresh air.
This Russian short drops us into the cold black and white world of a little boy whose life is pretty uneventful except for the vicious beatings he catches from his folks. Between beatings, the boy retreats to his fantasy world, the only thing that has the ability to bring a smile to his bruised face. After catching a severe beating from his mother, the boy decides to try and join his fantasies.
The reason that this boy has to commit suicide is far more depressing than the actual suicide itself. Like I said, it's a relief to know that nobody will ever be able to hurt this boy again. Films like this make me wish I was some kinda superhero, so that I could just wander about and kick the shit out of people that beat their kids.

How much does the drug cost in other countries? When the drug first appeared, Gilead hinted it might be cheaper in places like India, China, and Egypt. What about other countries that contain costs better than we do—like Canada, Germany, or the UK? And speaking of the UK, has NICE, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, passed judgment on the drug and how it should be used? Is there enough clinical evidence for its use?
Will the price of sofosbuvir drop when competitors show up? This is one to watch. As Stephen Hall reported in his New York magazine piece last fall, "what predicts the price of the next cancer drug is the price of the last cancer drug." Will the same be true of Sovaldi and its competitors?
Are Medicaid directors in the 25 states that have so far not expanded their Medicaid programs rushing to pay for the new drug? Those states say they aren't expanding because of the cost of insuring more people. If they are paying for the drug, what figures into the decisions to pay for an expensive drug to help a few while leaving thousands of low income residents without access to health insurance?
What's the cost benefit analysis? NPR's first story in early December reported health officials were recommending that some 79 million baby boomers born between 1945 and 1965 should get tested for hepatitis C. Did that mean even the millions who are at zero risk for the disease—those who had no blood transfusions or exchanged needles? In his November piece about the drug, New York Times reporter Andrew Pollock wrote, "For patients who can afford them, the temptation to take the new drugs before trouble arises will be powerful." Reportters need to ask some questions of the CDC and other experts about the costs and benefits of such measures.

Side Burner Grates
If your gas grill has a side burner, chances are that you use it. Sideburners may seem like a luxury item on grills, but they offer extra cooking space while attending to your main course. You should use it for sauces, side dishes and such. If you use your side burner a lot, like other grills grates, you will likely need to replace it over the course of the life of your grill. Luckily, they are easy to replace.

Botulism - Topic Overview
What is food-borne botulism?
Food-borne botulism is a rare but serious type of food poisoning that can result in paralysis. It is caused by the Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) bacterium. The bacteria produce a nerve toxin that can cause paralysis. Food-borne botulism can be fatal and is considered a medical emergency.
What causes food-borne botulism?
Food-borne botulism can be caused by eating contaminated home-canned foods that have a low acid content, such as asparagus, green beans, beets, and corn. But there have been cases of botulism from more unusual sources, such as chopped garlic in oil, chile peppers, tomatoes, improperly handled baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil, and home-canned or fermented fish.
In infants, botulism can result if a baby eats raw (unpasteurized) honey or corn syrup contaminated by C. botulinum spores. The spores multiply in the infant's intestine and produce toxins.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of food-borne botulism may include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. Infants with botulism appear to have little energy (lethargic), eat poorly, are constipated, and have a weak cry and poor muscle tone. These are all symptoms of the muscle paralysis caused by the nerve toxin. If botulism is not treated, advanced symptoms may cause paralysis of the arms, legs, and trunk and the muscles that help you breathe. In food-borne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating a contaminated food. But they can occur as early as 4 hours or as late as 10 days after eating the food.
How is food-borne botulism diagnosed?
Your doctor will do a medical history and physical exam and ask you questions about your symptoms and foods you have recently eaten. The best way to be sure of the diagnosis is for a doctor to inject your blood serum or stool into mice and look for signs of botulism. Other tests that may be done include a brain scan and a spinal fluid exam.

A Kuwaiti court has fined the chairman of Al Ahli Bank, the country's eighth largest bank by market capitalisation, KD1.5m ($5.3m) over alleged insider trading in the bank's shares, Reuters has reported. Ahmad Yousuf Behbehani was fined by the Court of First Instance after a complaint by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), the bank said.

10:20 A.M. PDT -- Ribeiro's rep tells TMZ ... Alfonso was never booked for a firm date -- the hotel jumped the gun by printing and selling tickets with Alfonso's picture. We're told they've now worked out a settlement ... he says the club will issue a retraction and Ribeiro will appear at the club after he finishes DWTS.
Alfonso Ribeiro bailed on a heavily promoted birthday bash in Atlantic City -- costing the nightclub a fortune -- because he didn't want his tango to suck on a TV reality show.
Alfonso -- famous for The Carlton Dance -- made a last-minute decision NOT to headline The Pool After Dark event Saturday. He notified the club Wednesday, which is a problem -- his face is plastered all over the flyer.
Alfonso is a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars" and apparently he made the decision he could earn more if he wins the trophy. He could have made $35K at the club, but he stands to rake in $345K if he wins DWTS.
As for the club ... it got screwed. It has to eat the $1,500 it paid for a customized cake, and refund $10K worth of pre-sold tickets.
Shockingly ... we're told the club isn't going after Alfonso for all it's out.
Lolo Jones
After 'Dancing with the Stars' Loss
Lolo Jones says she felt broken, unlovable and embarrassed after she was eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night ... and penned an emotional letter saying she's sick of being a loser.
The former Olympian unloaded on Facebook right after she got the boot from the ballroom ... saying, "When I was dancing last night and messed up I had flashbacks of the three Olympics and that people constantly tease me about. I thought oh no here it comes again. People are going to ridicule me. I'm so tired of feeling embarrassed."
"I joined the other competitors upstairs and I couldn't force a smile on my face. I felt like vomiting and in between the other dances I went in a back room and fought back tears. I felt so broken. So unlovable. Embarssed."
Jones -- who's been RIPPED in the public over her lackluster performances at the Olympics over the years -- added, "I really wanted to stay on the show and have the layers of hurt wash away by showing the public how hard I work. I wanted to come away a victor for once. I wanted to do so good performing in public that the haters would stop teasing me."
"But that is my way of thinking. Not Gods. Instead I need to trust God that he would heal my heart. That I would not work so hard for the world to validate and redeem me but know that God already conquered that for me on the cross."
She concluded ... "My time was brief but the lesson is lasting. Thank you everyone who wrote me kind messages. You were helping me not fall into darkness."
Yeah, she's taking this pretty hard.
'Dancing With The Stars'
Fashion Rules
For New Cast
Famously eccentric designer Betsey Johnson is bringing her brand of crazy to "Dancing with Stars" ... along with the much younger YouTube fashionista Bethany Mota.
As we told you ... ABC had been looking to sign a big social media star ... and found her in 18-year-old Mota ... who's amassed more than 7 million fans with her YouTube tutorials on fashion, hair and makeup.
Sources close to the show tell us ... producers have also tapped "Back to the Future" actress Lea Thompson, Jonathan Bennett from "Mean Girls," Janel Parrish from "Pretty Little Liars," and Sadie Robertson -- granddaughter of "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson.
Still missing ... a major Hollywood star.
Dancing With the Stars
Athletes & YouTube Stars
Will Save Our Show
The new "Dancing with the Stars" cast could have its hardest bodies yet -- a bunch of pro athletes and an Olympian -- along with something new ... a YouTube superstar, TMZ has learned.
We got a hold of the 'DWTS' producers wish list -- the celebs they're gunning to get for Season 19 -- and it includes 'Bachelorette' Andi Dorfman, ex-UFC fighter Randy Couture, "American Ninja Warrior" contestant Kacy Catanzaro, Olympic track star Lolo Jones and Antonio Sabato Jr.
Our 'DWTS' sources tell us they're also trying to land a female YouTube star ... who we're told has tens of millions of followers. It's a smart ploy for a veteran show with aging viewers to pull in fresh, younger viewers.
We're told some of the celebs are already negotiating their 'DWTS' contracts. The one thing still missing though ... a really big traditional TV or movie star. The full cast will be announced Sept. 4.
'DWTS' Heroes
Rescue Kitten Trapped In Car Engine!!
Cat-astrophe avoided at "Dancing With the Stars" -- when a stowaway kitten that had been stuck inside a car's motor was rescued by two PAs -- who heard the engine purring -- literally.
Production sources tell us ... the PAs heard noises from a random vehicle on the lot. They walked up to the car and heard the meows ... then discovered a kitten trapped under the hood.
Interesting Fact: Cats are known to climb near car engines to stay warm at night.
Back to the story ... The PAs tried luring the critter out with tuna ... when that didn't work, one of them crawled under the car, reached into the engine compartment and snatched the kitty.
The most amazing part ... the heroes believe the stray was inside the engine when the driver took the car from the San Fernando Valley to Hollywood.
The DWTS wardrobe dept. is now caring for the cat ... which they've named Steve ... and he's feel-ine fine.
Julianne Hough
Returns to DWTS
As a Judge
Julianne Hough has learned a hard lesson about the movie biz ... it ain't that easy, so she's returning to "Dancing with the Stars" but this time as a judge ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the show tell us ... they've made an offer to Julianne to become the 4th judge ... the other 3 are coming back. We're told the 2 sides are in negotiations and are expected to make the deal.
Julianne left the show years ago to pursue an acting and singing career, but it's been rough going ... particularly "Rock of Ages" and "Footloose."
We're told her commitment to DWTS is only a couple of hours a week, so she'll still pursue acting.
'DWTS' Star Cheryl Burke
I'm Not Dying
"Dancing with the Stars" star Cheryl Burke looks dramatically different these days ... but she says she's NOT deathly ill ... hasn't had plastic surgery ... and she's pissed at all the trash talk.
Burke -- who recently dropped a sizable amount of weight -- posted this pic on Facebook ... and got bombarded with comments from people saying she looks anorexic. Someone even suggested she's dying of AIDS.
One person wrote, "Those Botox lips need there [sic] own FB page, gross" ... and another said she should delete the pic before it ends up on TMZ.
Burke is especially upset because she believes the same people who are trash-talking her now are the ones who called her fat before.
Burke -- who was once a regular on the club/party circuit -- tells TMZ there's absolutely nothing wrong with her ... she recently turned 30 and decided to stop drinking and hard partying. She says she's living healthy ... and that what you see is the result of hard work.
Burke tells us, "I didn't have plastic surgery and I don't have an eating disorder. I'm just actually happy."
Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Totally With JLo
… Maybe
Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Talking Jennifer Lopez ...
'It's Going Great'
Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced around the question ... is he banging Jennifer Lopez?
We got Maksim in NYC and asked him about the pic we posted Monday ... showing him and JLo hanging out in Connecticut Saturday night ... definitely looking cozy.
Our photog was pretty direct, and Maksim very cleverly deflected the questions.
Yeah, they're totally together.
JLo and Maksim
Hooking Up, Maybe
Jennifer Lopez and Maksim Chmerkovskiy say they're just friends, but they could smell each others pheromones judging from this pic ... obtained by TMZ.
JLo and Maksim were at the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut Saturday night after her show. They hit up the Shrine nightclub and were certainly close.
They say they're just friends with a common interest ... dancing. Interesting ... she said on a TV show recently that dancers were better in the sack than actors. It's a compliment to Maksim and a diss to you know who.
But it looks like they're into some serious Rumba.
Mark Ballas
Taken to Hospital
After Bad Car Crash
Mark Ballas was in a bad car accident Monday afternoon and ended up in an L.A. hospital ... TMZ has learned.
We're told Mark was driving on an L.A. street, in the process of turning right, when another car was speeding in his lane, couldn't stop in time and slammed into his back right side.
Mark complained of whiplash and back pain. His girlfriend took him to Cedars-Sinai Medial Center where doctors examined him and prescribed some pain meds. Doctors told him the pain would get worse tomorrow, which isn't great news because Mark is scheduled to perform this week where he'll have a guitar strapped to his body as he sings and dances.
Mark's car was towed away. We're told 5 guys in the car that hit him jumped out and accused him of causing the crash, but an eyewitness came forward and told cops it was not Mark's fault ... the other driver was speeding.
'Dancing with the Stars'
$70K of Food Porn for Everyone
... Except the Champs
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Meryl Davis from "Dancing with the Stars" are huge losers ... 'cause even though they won the disco ball thingy ... they missed out on a ridiculously over-the-top feast at the wrap party.
After the finale, 'DWTS' threw the bash featuring a $70K menu designed by a bunch of TV chefs -- from "MasterChef" and "Top Chef." Some of the gut-busting highlights included:
-- Beef cheeks over pureed cauliflower
-- Bacon grilled cheese served w/ chilled heirloom roasted red & yellow tomato soup
-- Louisiana pan fried chicken
-- Andouille and sausage gumbo w/ cornbread
Go ahead and drool through the gallery ... which includes the kick ass dessert -- a dance floor made of 200 chocolate and strawberry infused cupcakes, all whipped up by Blendtec.
Champs Meryl and Maksim had to hop a plane to NYC right after the show, so ... yeah. Big mistake. Huge.
James Maslow
'Dancing With the Stars' Is Rigged
... Claim Disgruntled Fans
James Maslow's fans are fuming mad he got kicked off "Dancing With the Stars" this week ... claiming a glitch in fan voting might have cost James votes ... TMZ has learned.
Maslow and his partner Peta Murgatroyd got the ax on Monday's show, despite not finishing with the lowest score from the judges (that would be Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas).
Several fans have voiced outrage over Facebook voting, claiming votes for James and Peta were instead counted for Meryl and Maxim (see below).
But a rep for ABC claims despite the automated Facebook response ... the votes were all counted correctly. The rep blew off the apparent error as a "caching anomaly" that only affected a small amount of users.
Tell that to James and Peta.

Terry's Boli
A delicious stromboli recipe that I grew up with, made slightly healthier by cutting out the butter, using whole wheat flour, part skim mozzarella cheese, a homemade sauce and turkey pepperoni in place of the regular stuff. Can be adapted for a variety of fillings.
High Protein Tuna Melt
This is a great lunch when you're looking for something high in protein. I eat it with 2 slice of wheat bread and a slice of 2% cheese melted over top but if you want less calories, you could also eat it over lettuce as a salad. The recipe serves 2.
Chicken and Veggie Saute
A toss up of chicken, mushrooms, spinach, zucchini and bell peppers that I make when I'm short on time but want to get some good nutrients in.

The shots of this iPhone 4 with a DSLR lens are sure to make their way around the blogosphere in no time. One of the biggest complaints about the iPhone 4 is the fact that it only boasts a 5 megapixel camera.
With the addition of a tripod, an iPhone 4 with a DSLR lens can now dramatically upgrade the quality of the pics taken with Apple's super-phone. I'm sure photography purists are running for their barf bags.

CIRSD - President
Mr. Vuk Jeremić is the President of the Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development (CIRSD). In June 2012, Mr. Jeremić was directly elected by the majority of world's nations to be the President of the 67th session of the UN General Assembly, in the first contested vote since the end of the Cold War. During his term in office, he played a leading role in steering the UN towards the establishment of the post-2015 sustainable development agenda.
As President of the General Assembly, he facilitated the adoption of the breakthrough Arms Trade Treaty, the first legally-binding instrument in UN history to establish common standards for the international transfer of conventional armaments. Mr. Jeremić initiated several high-level thematic debates in the UN on critical issues such as climate change, education, social inequality, credit rating agencies, international criminal justice, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts in Africa. A record number of world leaders participated in them, helping the UN General Assembly assume a more pronounced role in world affairs.
Mr. Jeremić served as Serbia's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2007 to 2012. During his tenure, he paid official visits to over 100 countries, and addressed numerous international summits and conferences. In 2007, he chaired the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers, representing the Committee before the Council's Parliamentary Assembly. In 2011 and 2012, Mr. Jeremić led Serbia's successful campaign for the Chairmanship-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 2015.
He was an independent MP in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.
Mr. Jeremić has lectured at major universities around the world, and published opinion pieces in leading newspapers including the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, and the Wall Street Journal.
Prior to becoming Foreign Minister, Mr. Jeremić served as an advisor to the President of Serbia and various government ministries. Before entering public service, Mr. Jeremić worked in London for Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals.
Mr. Jeremić holds a bachelor's degree in physics from Cambridge University and a master's degree in Public Administration/International Development from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
Mr. Jeremić was elected President of the Serbian Tennis Federation in 2011, named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2013, and appointed to the Leadership Council of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in 2014. He is also a member of the newly established Columbia University Earth Institute (EI)- UN SDSN Advisory Group on International Relations, having been designated as a Senior EI SDSN Advisor.

You'll be escorted round Oxford's back streets by Bill, dressed as a Victorian undertaker, to reveal the city's murkier and downright frightening past.
Accompany Bill on his Friday/Saturday evening tour around Oxford and you'll encounter an aspect of the city you won't forget.
Home to a variety of ghosts and spooks, be they animal, 'human' or devil, Oxford's chequered history – student riots, sieges, regal jealousy, religious persecution, civil war, imprisonment, poisonings, plague, hangings and more – made it the setting for affray, violence and even murder.
And when the boundaries between scientific enquiry and magic were blurred who knew what would happen?
Intrepid ghost hunters are invited to enjoy an historically informative and hugely entertaining tour around Oxford, starting at Oxford Castle Unlocked or outside the Visitor Information Centre in Broad Street.

JAMES SUCKLING.COM - 99 POINTS"Super fresh, this is striking given the 10 years in the cellars; it has a fine citrus nose plenty of lemon, grapefruit, yellow chalky notes, some lighter floral elements too. The palate is super dry (dosage at 3-4g) and theres a silky, sherbet-like texture, smooth, fine and long. The citrus flavours give way to the driving surging acidity, thunderous acidity, really driving and powerful. The finish twists very slowly through to light-toasted cashew fruit flavours, but lemon citrus prevails. This is thrilling Champagne. Disgorged 22nd October, 2013. Drink from 2016."
WINERY NOTES -The launch of the 2002 vintage marks 50 years of Bollinger R.D., Madame Bollingers great idea which she turned into reality with the 1952 vintage.
60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay drawn from 23 crus: 71% Grands Crus and 29% Premier Crus. More than a decade of cellar maturation on the yeast.
JANCIS ROBINSON - 19 POINTS (19 out of 20)
60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. 23 crus of which 71% are Grands Crus and the rest Premiers Crus. Dosage under 4 g/l. Very firm, savoury nose with Bollinger's trademark fungi. Very powerfully so but with excellent acidity and lift on the palate. This is touted as a 50th anniversary offering because the first RD (Recently Disgorged) vintage released on the UK market was the 1952, in 1967 (so it was three years older than this 2002). It was launched at the same time as the 1953 on the French and Swiss markets and the 1955 on the American and Italian markets. A nod to British taste for seriously mature champagne? This wine should not be served too cool. It has real weight - though does not taste heavy. I loved it on first release as Grande Annee and it is less austere now. A bit mellower and more open though still with the deep throat salve sensation on the finish.

A Better Way ...To Go Beans and Legumes

Incredible! 5.0/5
(1 rating)
Yay. Beans again... well, sometimes I think that but not often. I mean, I really love beans and am absolutely fine with eating them often. It's just that I typically don't get excited about a new flavor or experiment when cooking black beans. I usually am satisfied and pleased with my traditional method. But, I recently found a recipe online and thought, hmmm, I can make that work and got excited once again about the fabulous black bean! Submitted by S_PRESS Carbs: 30.4g | Fat: 3.6g | Fiber: 15.7g | Protein: 9.8g | Calories: 132.6
These bean cakes are yummy and great for you. Served with the salsa, it makes a very colorful and festive presentation. I serve these with a lite side salad. Plenty of protein and fiber. Even my meat loving hubby loves this meal. Submitted by BCJL13 Carbs: 48.3g | Fat: 6.1g | Fiber: 13.6g | Protein: 14.2g | Calories: 294.2

Washington Week
Episode #4301
Moderator: Gwen Ifill. On this Independence Day, "Washington Week" takes a close look at how Americans currently define themselves and the associated politics of patriotism. This theme show, "Defining America," closely examines the issues central to democracy and what makes America both the envy of the free world, and a target of criticism and sometimes violence. The Washington Post's David Broder takes a critical look at America and its leadership. Particularly, as we head into the next presidential-election cycle, leadership on domestic and foreign policy issues will drive the choice in 2004. David Sanger of The New York Times takes us through the global politics that America faces today -- politics that define America's new and constantly changing role in the world. And, close to all Americans: the pocketbook. With unemployment at a new high, a stumbling jobless recovery, and varying ideas about tax relief, FORTUNE Magazine's Jeff Birnbaum helps us understand the present and future of Americans and the economy. Finally, liberty and the courts is the subject that USA TODAY's Joan Biskupic brings to tonight's discussion, as the Supreme Court -- and lower courts --continue to define some of the most important social parameters of the day.

Review: Manage your subscriptions in Google Reader with Gruml for Mac
Follow your RSS feeds without any hassle using Gruml for Mac.
If you have a Google Reader account and are unsatisfied with the interface, you may seek an application to better manage the feeds such as Gruml for Mac. Gruml for Mac has a dated, albeit functional interface, but Google's announcement to end support for Reader makes its utility questionable.
RSS feeds provide users with the ability to easily follow Web news sources. One of the most popular RSS feed readers is Google's Reader program. Gruml for Mac is a freeware RSS reader that works exclusively with Google's program. After the installation completes, the application opens to a rather basic but functional menu. The menu does lack any graphics akin to modern programs, but its buttons and options are easily identified. After taking the user's Google sign-in information, the application displays the feeds in a large window. The left side contains subfolders to restrict the stories by category, which is a welcome feature on an RSS reader application. The program does function well, but brings up little text from the linked story. However, the application's exclusive link to Google Reader is unfortunate since Google recently announced it will end Reader later this year--meaning the application will not be usable in the near future.
While functional as an RSS reader, Gruml for Mac's link to Google's soon-to-be withdrawn Reader makes it useful for only a short time.

this is a follow up to my other post showing a beautiful healthy blue spruce in the neglected ghettos of chicago while out in my suburban hood my own blue spruce are dying despite my care and attempt to save them.
many of the pungens in my hood are dying like this. why? none of the arborists who looked at them seem to have a clue other than "needle drop" or "could be spider mites" Pungens in 2008 when I moved in....
What they look like now in 2012...

Here are a couple of links for you. They might help you to diagnose the problem.

Not age. Pathogens, which denn's links are about. FWIW, there is a common misconception that "it's too wet" for these trees in the midwest. That's not quite right. The air is frequently too humid for their liking, but they are predisposed to these fungal maladies by drought stress. So moist soil=good. Constantly moist air and foliage=bad. That's two different things. Finally, what you've got there is absolutely epidemic-or is the word endemic-all over the midwest. Much as I like blue spruce, I've had to take them off the list of conifers with which one has a reasonable chance of long-term success. And this set of problems has gotten much, much worse over the last few years. For a nice conical evergreen with blue-green foliage, look into white fir, AKA Concolor fir, AKA Abies concolor. When well grown, I like them better myself. +oM |
so i'm pretty much accepting that these trees will be dead and gone in 10 years. so I was planning to plant a black hills to the left of the one with the dead lower branches. and also put a norway front center between them. then in 5 years or so when the new trees fill out a bit, take out the old pungens. I'd rather not take them out now as they still provide a good screen from the neighbor. but if planting new trees close to these diseased ones is a bad idea then... |

they should be dead and gone.. by this fall.. when you hire or get out the chain saw .. do you really want to look at that mess for 10 years ... and it is an age thing tom ... i see it all over the place .... on trees that size .. i presume .. it can happen at an earlier age.. why not.. but at this size and larger.. it hits them fast and furious .. [though no border agents will die] .... all i was saying.. is that it is that size.. or larger.. where they are hit and fail with speed ... ken |

I have one that went that way and I realized it had malnutition.It was all baren under neath as in your picture and I have hit heavey with 10-10-`10.Started a compost pile underneath with all my weeds from that area coffee grounds etc.It has turned around,no doubt it will never be the same but it is growing well again and looks quite nice.I water it often. |
here's a close up of some needles from the dying branches. these needs fell right off with only a slight touch. I don't see any black spots, so I'm thinking it's not Rhizosphaera Needle Cast. I do however see some white drainage on some of the branches close to the trunk, so Cytospora Canker may be it. and it looks like there's no cure...
- Posted by wisconsitom 4/5 WI (My Page) on Sun, Jul 8, 12 at 18:33
Yeah, cytospora at that stage of heavy involvement is a tough cookie. Just a personal opinion, but I'd skip the Black Hills, a vastly over-rated spruce in my world, and focus on Norway spruce, a much more vigorous and beautiful plant. I've noticed too that Black Hills, for all it's supposed drought tolerance and toughness, is kind of a wimp in my area. I really don't like them, in case you haven't noticed. Native white spruce are a better option for someone in my neck of the woods, if one must have a Picea glauca. I have a few young ones up at my land, and I like them a lot. But the stars of the spruce show there will be the thousands of NS. +oM |
+1 on skipping Black Hills. |
yes I do love Norways. last year I planted 7 of them on my 1 acre and they are looking great even in this ridiculous drought they grew almost 3 feet. I suppose I could just stick with norways for that corner. a part of me would like to mix it up a bit for variety, but i do not want wimpy trees there for obvious reasons. function trumps variety here. now to follow ken's advice and take the pungens out now or limb them up and plant norways around them? this will be a tough one for me. i've got a couple months to think about it... |

I've been researching this problem with blue spruce (and many other shrubs & trees) for many years now. I believe I've identified the pathogen and have found a way to control this disease. Check out the sections on diagnosing and treating this blue spruce disease on my website at: whitecanker.net |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 18:25
From Dennis W. Fulbright, Department of Plant Pathology at Michigan State University: "We now know that a group of Phomopsis strains of unknown species are at the center of the current landscape spruce problems that we are now calling Phomopsis spruce decline. Normally,Phomopsis, a fungal pathogen, is only found on young trees in nurseries and on tree farms including Christmas tree farms. For some unknown reason, this pathogenic fungus has moved out of the nurseries and tree farms and is now causing mature tree defoliation, branch death and, in some rare cases, tree death." Seems some cankers are morphing and when I heard him speak in 2012 he indicated they found some odd DNA not quite matching the usual canker suspects. tj |

I agree w/wisconsitom -- white spruces are underused & do well in z6 or colder. Can't remember where this pic came from but pretty sure they were in z6: |

Bright spotlights shine down as the doors swing open. Grinning faces look up in recognition. Dishes emerge from the kitchen at Panda Buffet like celebrities, draped in boas of steam and mantles of honey-garlic or bourbon glaze beneath the lemongrass-hued walls and wood paneling. Waiters toting traditional concoctions such as General Tso's chicken scoot past mirrors painted with bucolic Eastern scenes that let diners experience exotic locales without hiding in a shipment of pith helmets.
In the sprawling dining room, white tablecloths drape over square and circular tables. Atop these tables are platters of the Mandarin, Szechuan, and Cantonese cuisine that fills Christina Wan's menu. Favorites such as general tso's chicken and sesame beef share space with less-known dishes such as saigon steak kew (filet mignon with snow peas) and lemongrass-marinated rack of lamb.
Mirrors and ornate paintings surround diners at Lily Garden with a serene atmosphere as they sample a menu filled with Hunan, Cantonese, and Sichuan dishes. Each white-clothed table in the dining room supports a crescent vase of flowers, and red paper lanterns dangle above the booths along each wall. Delivery and catering services are also available.
Tender pieces of chicken, beef, shrimp, and pork simmer in a variety of aromatic sauces, including curry, savory black bean, and fiery sichuan. The Triple Crown In Bird's Nest specialty holds chicken, pork, shrimp, and vegetables in a crispy potato basket, and the seafood straw mushroom combines succulent lobster, scallions, and scarecrows used to frighten away hungry pelicans. Lily Garden also serves beer and wine and curates a gluten-free menu for patrons who swear off the wheat-based protein.
Lauded by the Sun Sentinel for its "expert sushi with eye candy presentations" and its "nice medley of cuisines," Red Ginger Asian Bistro presents several star Asian cuisines. Chinese classics such as egg drop soup, moo goo gai pan, and moo shu pork mingle on a menu with Thai fare including red-curry shrimp and thai beef salad. The staff also prepares Japanese-inspired food, curating selections from the sushi bar such as unagi sashimi, shrimp-tempura rolls, and Sexy tuna rolls packed with white tuna, cucumber, asparagus, and the power to make people stare at them with mouths agape. Even drinks from the bar run the geographic gamut, from hot and cold sake to lychee martinis and Asian, European, and North American beers.
Fiesta Wok chef and owner Luis Flores began his culinary career in his native Mexico, where he cooked alongside his grandmother at a small taqueria. There, he mastered the combination of flavorful sauces, fresh vegetables, and tender meats that makes an authentic street taco. Luis remembered his roots as he worked his way through the industry in the United States, continuing to dine at Latin restaurants and taquerias. Today, he brings his carefully honed palate and time-honored recipes to Fiesta Wok, where he crafts dishes such as barbacoa burrito bowls and chicken quesadillas from scratch.

The card is canceled, though, but the thing seems to still be renewing. I'm guessing it's actually charging out of it even though it's already canceled, so if I don't actually cancel the subscription, it's going to keep on charging the credit card, huh? I've read that you could change the address to IL or something from some other topic around here but where do I change to IL? The card or what? Thanks... This is stupid. | |
If they are charging an expired card, then those charges will eventually be returned to MS, and you account will be put on a "suspended" status until you can provide payment for services rendered. Unfortuantely you cannot turn off auto renew through conventional means. You can only do this over the phone, unless your address is listed in Indiana, then you can do it online. You can however log into the xbox site and change your "billing address" to be somewhere in Indiana and turn off the autorenew, and change your address back to where you are now. Honestly though, if they are charging an expired card, like I said the charges will come back to get you, so I'd suggest just calling them to get this sorted out. --- A Jose Canseco bat? Tell me...you didn't pay money for this. http://www.zreomusic.com/Zelda25.jpg =-= http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2v965tv&s=7 | |
Indiana or Illinois? I thought I read Illinois somewhere. | |
It's Illinois. --- . I'M RUNNIN' THIS MONKEY FARM NOW, FRANKENSTEIN!!! - Capt. Rhodes, Day of the Dead (1985) | |
Alright, so I changed it to somewhere in Illinois, seemed to be able to turn off auto-renewal. Not sure if it actually works just like that, but let's hope it does. The credit card can't be removed, though... Says there are payments associated with it. So I'm guessing if you don't live in Illinois, you can't just turn off auto-renewal just like that? | |
Even if you turn it off doing it the illinois method because you were charged but there was no payment you owe MS that money anyway. So might as well phone them and pay them and get it cleared and actually turn off auto renew for the future. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u222/xechs/1198847692478tg1.gif http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u222/xechs/rankastar.gif Ranka-Macross Frontier | |
So lemme get this straight: Automatic Renewal: Off <-- Self-explanatory Expiry Date: 7/28/2011 <-- Date when the subscription expires I'm guessing that I didn't actually get charged yet because the subscription doesn't actually expire until tomorrow? I took the $2 for 2 months promotion thing. | |
I believe the time is based on GMT (based on posts from our resident Xbox Live Support personnel), and at the time you posted that last post, it was 3:26 AM GMT (give or take an hour), 7/28/2011. --- R.I.P. Eve English (Feb. 12, 1968 - Oct. 13, 2010) Momma Eve, you will be missed. | |
Really now? | |
All I know is that you better get this taken care of asap. 3 years back something happened and I needed to change my debit card. I was playing phantasy star universe at the time (which I completely forgot the charge date for this was coming up), and I didn't have enough for the 50 dollar renewal and the guardian's license. Basically, I got banned for like a week over 2 dollars and 37 cents I believe it was, lol. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg Playing hard corps uprising/bayonetta/the dishwasher: dead samurai/Blazblue CS/moon diver |

Geraghty: Obviously the answer to this question is somewhere between "none" and "all," but how much of the blame for the disappointment of 2012 should fall on the RNC?
Priebus: I think if you looked at where we started . . . We started from a standing start, basically, or even worse. We couldn't make payroll, we were $25 million in debt. One story I haven't told too much is that when we got here, both of the committee's credit cards were suspended when we walked in the door. We began paying for [staff] flights and expenses on my credit card.
As for the overall question, I think it's a team. When you say the Republican party, I consider that to be our friends, the candidates, everyone in between — and it just wasn't good enough. Our job is to figure out what we can do as a team, all of us together, what can we all do better together so that we can have a decisive victory in 2016. That's something that hasn't happened since 1988. We can't just wait for these Tuesday nights every four years where, if one out of eight states doesn't go well for us, we're done. We have to figure out what we have to do to give ourselves more opportunities.
Geraghty: You've indicated you want another term as chairman, and indicated that you have locked up a sizable majority of RNC members. Is that still the case? Have you run into many critics or RNC members who argue that, because 2012 was disappointing, you have to be replaced?
Priebus: I haven't run into those people. For the most part, it's been disappointing to lose, no question about it. I don't like it. But the response to the job we've done has been very good. The committee members support what we did. They know we have a ton of work to do going forward, and they think I'm well suited to spearhead that effort. The measure of success is going to be in how we implement these efforts and in our making sure that we put a program on the ground that does the job a thousand times better than anything we've done before.
The job of the party chairman is to lead. We can sit around and point fingers at ourselves and others. Tough beans. Just accept responsibility, come up with a plan to charge the hill, a plan that's going to motivate our party and get the grassroots engaged and our donors engaged. That's my job, and that's the job that I'm excited to take on for the next couple of years.
Geraghty: What's on the RNC's agenda in the coming year?
Priebus: Clearly, we want to keep our governors. [Virginia attorney general and expected GOP gubernatorial nominee] Ken Cuccinelli is now unopposed, and we want to make sure that goes well for us, and obviously Chris Christie is a top priority as well. We have two big races, and we want to win both of those.
The panel and what we're doing in this study is going to give us an opportunity to implement those ideas in those two races. We can do some testing in technology, outreach efforts. We can start implementing those ideas and use them as incubators for what we're doing with some new technology. We want to win both of those races and use them as a testing ground moving forward.
Geraghty: What do you think of Jim DeMint leaving the Senate to go to the Heritage Foundation?
Priebus: I might see him today, at lunch, and I'll have a chance to talk to him. I'm sure it's going to be a real blessing to him and the Heritage Foundation. He's incredibly talented, really smart, and I think he's going to be able to continue this movement forward.
We need big voices in places that help shape message, policies, research. I have a ton of respect for the Heritage Foundation, and so I can't see a downside for them having a guy like Jim in charge of it.

8 Essentials For A Friendly Divorce
At the same time, excessive altruism sets up for resentments down the line.
I have seen with divorcing couples time and time again that agreements based on selfishness, stinginess, or overly generous settlements tend to come back to bite you both.
Guideline #5: Choose legal advisors with a proven track record in mediated settlements.
The adversarial court system results in everyone losing except the lawyers. Check if your legal advisor has a history of successfully helping clients to negotiate a mutually fair settlement.
Guideline #6: Find a trusted person with whom you can talk through your feelings of hurt, shame and guilt, anger, sadness and fear.
Painful feelings about a failed marriage are inevitable. Talking them through with a trusted person can help you to move through and beyond them, much like talking through feelings of grief after a loved one's death can help you cross the river of feelings and emerge safely on the other side.
If you do not talk them through to a state of calm, you will be at risk for "acting out" the feelings through self-defeating hostile actions like drawing out the settlement process or making it needlessly warlike in an attempt to get even.
Guideline #7: Treat divorce as a gradual process, not a one-time action.
Divorce is like a large, round and bitter pie with many slices that need to be digested.
With regard to the order of which pieces to digest first, before you forge a legal settlement agreement it's generally better first to have divorced emotionally. Once you have accepted that the marriage is over, learned from your mistakes, and reached a point of willingness to let your spouse go his/her own way, it will be far easier to negotiate the divorce settlement in a collaborative way.
The legal piece usually needs to be the last piece of the pie that you deal with.
Guideline #8: Remember that there is life after divorce.
Divorce can be experienced via many alternative meanings. It can mean shame and failure or bring about chronic warfare. Alternatively it can end old antagonisms, heal long-standing wounds, and launch a fresh start toward a new and improved life situation. The choice is yours.
Susan Heitler, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Denver, has authored multiple books on the process of psychotherapy and the skills for marriage success. Her current project is an online relationship communication skills program called PowerOfTwoMarriage.com.
