Happy Birthday, Robin. May the next year get better and better and enjoy your party. |
Robin, I'm late checking in but wanted to wish you a happy birthday any way. You are amazing! |
Thanks y'all! You mean the world to me. I napped, read, and ate. That was it. And I enjoyed it totally. As you may remember, I have five brothers and sisters, all married, all with children, and all within a 30 minute drive (except Beth and Chuck right now) and I didn't see any of them. On purpose. Just me, mom, and the LF. Quiet and joyful. It's gotten exponentially better since we moved. Nothing has gone majorly wrong since then (after two years of it), and life is so very joyful these days. LF and I even spent the day figuring out where we're going on vacation. It was great to have to decide where, not if. It's gonna be a fantastic year! |
Sorry I'm so late wishing you all the best but haven't looked at a computer for quite a while. |
Happy Birthday, Robin! Glad to hear it was a good one and I hope your year will be great! KJ |
Don't be sorry at all Gandle! I'm just glad to hear from you when I can. Goes for you too little Miss KathyJane! Much love! |

Aw, Happy Birthday Robin! I'm glad you enjoyed your day. It sounds like a good one. LF and your Mom. What could be better? Vacation planning that's what. Smiles. This year has so many wonderful possibilities for you. I look forward to hearing your adventures as this coming year unfolds. |

The Death of LanguageThey say that every fourteen days, a language dies. The statistic isn't alarming, after all there are supposedly seven thousand languages in the world. That a language dies every two weeks, is just a statistic. The concern comes with the knowledge that a language dies because it has been forgotten. Thus it dies without recognition, without farewell and without acknowledgment. It was merely there before, a communication bridge once upon a literary dream - now a nothing. This fascinating tool that we use to interact with our fellow human beings is lost. And we don't care. The Eskimos, they say, had a hundred words for snow.That favourite pair of shoes that you love all the holes and splits into because they are so perfect and fit you so well - gets a better send off than a language. That coat that's become too small or too big, or too much last years fashion and too little of this years craze gets more of a farewell than a languag

The CFPB has issued a final rule delaying the effective date of the remittance transfer rule pending finalization of its December 2012 proposal to make changes in three areas. The effective date had been set for February 7, 2013. In addition to the substantive changes, the CFPB had proposed to delay the effective date until 90 days after the changes are finalized. Comments on the proposed delay were due by January 15 and comments on the substantive changes are due by January 30.
In October 2012, the CFPB released a safe harbor list of countries that qualify for an exception in the remittance rule that allows estimated disclosures of certain amounts instead of the disclosure of an exact amount where the laws of the recipient country do not permit a determination of the exact amount. When the list was released, the CFPB indicated that it would not remove countries from the list before May 1, 2013. In the final rule delaying the remittance rule's effective date, the CFPB indicated that it would reassess the earliest date on which countries may be removed from the list in connection with finalization of the December 2012 proposal but that date will not be sooner than May 1, 2013.

Bouchra Ouizguen talks about Ha! for Crossing the Line
Moroccan choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen explores madness and more in her new Ha! for Crossing the Line
Thu Jun 27 2013
Photograph: Courtesy of the company
In a follow-up to Madame Plaza, Moroccan choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen reunites with three traditional Aïta singer-muses for Ha!. The production is part of the 2013 Crossing the Line festival, of which the line-up includes choreographers Boyzie Cekwana, Nora Chipaumire and Pascal Rambert. In anticipation of the performances at New York Live Arts, Ouizguen talked about making Ha!, investigating madness and strengthening the bond with her performers.
Bouchra Ouizguen brings a tantalizing bit of Morocco to New York. As her follow-up to Madame Plaza, the choreographer reunites with three traditional Aïta singers and dancers for Ha!, which explores madness and healing rituals, inspired by trips made to villages surrounding Marrakech. In Arabic, ha means "yes"; for Ouizguen's production, part of the Crossing the Line festival, the word also refers to the sounds of breath and laughter. Ouizguen spoke about the piece from Marrakech.
Time Out New York: Could you talk about the inspiration for this piece?
Bouchra Ouizguen: The work was mainly inspired by the performers. I've been working with them for five years now. There was a desire to renew this process of working together.
Time Out New York: They were in Madame Plaza. What is your history with them? How did you meet?
Bouchra Ouizguen: This encounter was motivated by my desire to create for a group. My previous work was mostly solos or duets. It was hard to cast a group of performers, especially in Morocco, because there are not a lot of them. I went looking for singers in cabarets, and eventually I found my team in my hometown of Marrakech. The creation and the inspiration of my work doesn't end with an audition. I really have to enter into a collaboration.
Time Out New York: What did you mean when you said that there were not many performers in Marrakech?
Bouchra Ouizguen: There are not a lot of dancers in modern and contemporary dance, because it's a very new field in Morocco. The first initiatives originated 15 or 20 years ago, and the focus is mostly on traditional Moroccan dance or hip-hop, so it's still a burgeoning scene and therefore there aren't a lot of schools or any kind of education about dance in general. There is a small group of professionals between Casablanca and Marrakech who are all familiar with each another, but mostly the people that you can find who are dancing are from the street, and it's very inspired by a hip-hop scene. So people are learning on the job and experimenting, but without any guidelines. There are people, but you really have to find them outside of any institutional form. You cannot just do a casting in one day—you really have to spend time with them and try to learn things from each another before you decide to actually create a show.
Time Out New York: What was your point of departure for Ha!? Was it inspired by a voyage?
Bouchra Ouizguen: I like this word voyage; it's always related to the creation of new forms. So a voyage was the starting point. We adopted a nomad approach and went to visit villages all across Morocco—especially three villages where there are soul healers and dance-and-song rituals. There were no studio rehearsals. The studio thing really came at the end. It's been five years that I've worked this way, mostly in external spaces, outside of studios, outside of the institutions. The rituals we witnessed, which were [told through] dance and song are the inspiration for the voyage. We sat at small cafés and watched the life of the city.
Time Out New York: In what region were the villages that you traveled to?
Bouchra Ouizguen: The three villages visited were in the surroundings of Marrakech. At first, there was supposed to be only one journey to see the rituals, but then I really pushed the budget and made the time to experience more, because every village has a different ritual. In the village where we principally stayed, they only healed women.
Time Out New York: How do you transfer such a rich experience to the stage?
Bouchra Ouizguen: There is a lot of intuition in the process. In my last show, Madame Plaza, I mostly focused on traditional and ancestral songs. Here, what was interesting about the rituals were the breathing actions and the vocal work. There is repetition and echoes—this breathing action provokes a vibration in the space. It was really a lot of work to re-create this sound and sonic universe; I had to reinvent this ritual for the four performers. It's almost a sociological ritual; some healers also have to deal with mental issues. It was more a conception of, what is madness? How do you deal with it? We took a personal approach to the notion of madness. Madness as the thing that is inserted between what you can control and what is out of reach.

Inferno's first half-hour takes place on a posh university campus in New York, in a careful build-up that establishes the reason why a group of 15 students concerned about the destruction of the Amazon rainforest embarks on a mission to Peru to raise awareness about the plight of endangered Indian tribes.
On campus, the hunky, charismatic Alejandro (Ariel Levy) attracts the attention of Justine (Lorenza Izzo) when he stages a hunger strike for underpaid janitors. Despite the skepticism of her politically apathetic roommate (played with rolled eyes by Sky Ferreira), Justine buys into Alejandro's next cause: to save the Amazon. Her father, a lawyer at the United Nations, disapproves but gives her the number of the U.S. ambassador to Peru, just in case. The film mercilessly mocks these rich students who embrace a faraway cause to satisfy their own vanity—not least the lovely, naive Justine whose own motivation seems to be her physical attraction to Alejandro.
Anyone who has seen the poster and buys a movie ticket will anxiously anticipate what happens next: a plane crash and a terrifying encounter with a savage Indian tribe who paint their skin red and practice cannibalism. How ironic, the very people the students have come to save, eating them alive. As for the bloody Amazonian part of the film, one can only recall the closing line of Cannibal Holocaust: "I wonder who the real cannibals are," and hope that the Indian actors here were paid union scale.
Izzo, who co-starred with Roth-the-actor in Aftershock, is a fine genre actress, standing out from a cast of blonde women with her naturalistic performance and signs of courage and initiative. As the group's ambiguous political leader, Levy unapologetically strikes a Che Guevara pose, giving rise to the final lame gag. Along with Aaron Burns, who plays his comic sidekick with a crush on Justine, the main characters at least have personality traits. The Indians, of course, have no individuality because they have no "civilization."
Tech work is nothing fancy but generally to-the-point, with sweeping overhead shots of the rainforest (where it never rains) establishing the remote setting from which few return.

Would appreciate some help with our kitchen layout....
Got the first draft back from the architect. We were in a house that had the kitchen and nook bayed out, and my husband loved it. Me, I'm not sure. Architect said wouldn't work to bay out both(because of size?? don't remember what he said), so husband wanted kitchen. Just seems like too much space to me. I feel like a could do cartwheels in there. LOL. I think nook with a double bay would be better use of space. Not crazy about door placement on pantry. I think takes away too much counter space next to stove. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks! |

You walk to the fridge, catch the next bus to the sink to wash your meat, produce or hands, prep on the only stretch of counter that you'll use (between sink and range), get something else from the fridge or pantry, wait for the next bus to the sink, and on and on. Now that you're so tired from all that bus-riding, you burn what's in the pan a little and go to take it off the stove. Wait--there's nowhere to put it, because all you have is a tiny sliver of countertop between the range and pantry door. Maybe you have a convenient potholder in that triangular cabinet? Hope so. It's the ONLY thing that could possibly fit in there. Of course, through all these bus trips you're also dodging all the traffic that goes through the kitchen. But wait, there's more. Where are you going to put anything in that kitchen? There's virtually no room for uppers. Oh, OK, we'll put everything below counter. Some people do that--in drawers. Uh-oh, there isn't one single place in the whole kitchen to put a drawer where it won't bang into the neighboring drawer. Same will happen with the dishwasher, as it helpfully bangs into the knees of whoever is standing at the sink. I don't know why architects waste their time and your money designing kitchens. They should just put a little cartoon pot labeled "Kitchen" and leave it up to somebody with a clue. It's not impossible to design a kitchen with a bay. But not that way. Personally I'd lose the bay. What "looks nice" in a ten second home tour has nothing to do with what will keep you from wanting to stick your head in the oven the first time you try to cook in it. I think your instincts seem right and you should follow them. |
I'm going to have to use the bus analogy with my DH, maybe that will convince him. LOL. Thanks. Lots of things to think about. |
Also, draw on your diagram the wasted space between every cabinet. There is a triangle of emptiness between each box every time the countertop takes a turn. You can't use it but you're paying for it. HTH |

If you want a bunch of angles, put them in the eating area. Make that more of a separate octagonal addition to the main house. Angles waste space. But, if you put in a large round table, it could be a nice sunny focal point as long as you paid for good windows to keep the heat gain to a minimum. For the kitchen, straighten things out. You'll get a more efficient space, and even though it's smaller, it has more storage and better workflow. |
We are thinking of expanding the kitchen by 2 ft. That would put it at 16 x 14. We would then put a cabinet on the wall after the bay returns - giving me another upper cab. The pantry door will be moved back to the hall. Lose the snack bar and put in a 4 x 8 island. Does that work? |
Option 2: Lose bay - kitchen becomes 13 x 14. Keep snack bar. Bay gets added to nook, which makes that room 16 x 13. |

Simething like this? A 20-25 sq ft bumpout does make a world of difference. Lots of possibilities with 14 ft width vs 12. I opted to lose a corner (cf deedles thread), made the island narrower than 4 x 8 to get better passage clearance. Wrapped the seating for comfortable communication. Option for island base cabinet facing range. |

U.S. 30 traffic light repair nearly complete
By Christin Nance Lazerus email@example.com July 3, 2014 1:37PM
Updated: August 5, 2014 6:26AM
All of U.S. 30 was reopened to traffic Thursday as a projected 12-hour closure between Interstate 65 and U.S. 41 for repair work on took drastically less time than NIPSCO and the Indiana Department of Transportation had estimated.
The repair work was necessary after stong storms Monday night knocked down two power lines near the Taft Street intersection in Merrillville, frying traffic signals with 70,000 volts, and lights for the westbound traffic were knocked down as well.
At 10 p.m. Wednesday, NIPSCO started working on two downed power lines near the Taft Street, but their crews finished up shortly before midnight, which allowed INDOT to open up U.S. 30 to traffic except at the Taft Street intersection. The traffic signal at Taft and U.S. 30 was up and running by 2 p.m., Thursday.
After NIPSCO was finished, INDOT started the work of replacing wiring, bolts and other traffic signal hardware. By 7:30 a.m., the intersection reopened, but it was operating as a four-way stop as the traffic lights were still out.
"The whole signal was so badly fried by the falling power lines that we had to replace everything," INDOT spokesman Matt Deitchley said.
Deitchley said INDOT understands that the closure was frustrating to drivers and business owners.
"We'd rather warn folks of the possibility of the full extent of the closure, but this ultimately was good news," Deitchley said.
About 10,000 NIPSCO customers are still without power across Northern Indiana, including 1,060 in Gary, 876 in Hammond, 643 in Merrillville, 625 in Portage, and 587 in Schererville. More than 90 percent of customers have regained power.

Hi. :)
Right now, I am trying to make my site validate with HTML4.01 strict and I was doing a pretty good job until I came across a problem with CuteNews. When you post new news, you can click on a smiley to add it, and it is added with Javascript. The problem with this is, the javascript doesn't add an alt tag to the image. I was messing around with the code, but I am not very familiar with javascript, so I was wondering how I can tell it to add " alt='smilename' " each time. Here is the line of code where it needs to be added (the first part, with the link):
Code:$output .= "";
I was messing around with it, trying to get it to work and I added " + 'alt=$smile' " which gives me this when I click it:
Code:
I hope that all of this makes sense...and thanks in advance. (:
Where you have
emoticons/$smile.gif' + 'alt=$smile'); return false;
there is nothing between smile.gif and alt. You don't need to break apart the two strings. you could try ....smile.gif \"alt=.....

Review: True Blood – Everything is Broken
Television By Robert Fure on August 16, 2010 | Comments (4)Episode: "Everything is Broken" (Season 3, Episode 9) Synopsis: Eric is confronted about the death of the Magister by Vampire League of America figurehead Nan Flanagan and the mysterious Vampire Authority comes into play. In Bon Temps, Sookie and Bill reconnect while Sam snaps under the pressures surrounding him and hands out an ass beating. Jason does something awesome. Review: Two in a row! This was another great episode of True Blood, definitely in the top three of the third season. Once again there is increased focus on Eric and the episode is better for it. Talbot's death last episode was still a sticky residue on the ground, at least until Russell goes all creepy, scoops the goo into a crystal bowl and carries it around, talking to it. Dating someone for something like 3,000 years will do that to you.
Episode: "Night on the Sun" (Season 3, Episode 8) Synopsis: Sookie reevaluates her relationship with Bill while Jason takes the next step forward with Crystal. King Russell makes a move on Sookie while Alcide is away and Eric plays two gambits with bloody results. Review: Finally! A fantastic episode. While season 3 has been good, it was far from great in my opinion, until tonight. Sure the werewolves are still pussies (I have to say that every review, contractually) but there was a lot going on this week that was very engaging.
Coroner's Report: Open House
The Coroner's Report By Robert Fure on August 5, 2010 | Be the First To CommentIf you were Andrew Paquin and your sister, along with her husband, were currently starring in one of the most popular and sexy shows currently on television, what would you do? If "write a script and get them to guest in it so that a studio could put their faces prominently on the box art" then you should get a drink with him. Because you think alike. So perhaps that is a bit harsh. I mean, really, who wouldn't take advantage of something like that? Regardless, Open House is a thriller currently available on DVD that stars Brian Geraghty and Tricia Helfer as a pair of sadistic squatters with a thirst for blood. Not thirsting for blood this go around is Stephen Moyer, who guests stars along with his wife, Anna Paquin, who is in the film for a few minutes.
Review: True Blood – 'Hitting the Ground'
Television By Robert Fure on August 2, 2010 | Comments (5)Episode: "Hitting the Ground" (Season 3, Episode 7) Synopsis: Sookie manages to free Bill, who remains at death's door. Meanwhile, Sam confronts the Mickens' over their dog fighting activities while Eric and the King of Mississippi advance on their goals. Review: This episode was 50/50 for me. I really dug the subplots of Sam, Jason, and Eric, who got pretty decent screen time, but I wasn't a fan at all of the Sookie stuff, though it reveals, presumably, something about who or what she really is.
I'm a big fan of survival. I figure not matter how bad life is, it's always at least a step better than being dead. As such, my self-preservation instinct is very high. While I'm not risk averse or danger shy, if I'm faced with a life or death situation, I'm choosing life and doing whatever it takes to come out on top. I naturally assume that most people are like that. Living is pretty awesome. Why then, when faced with death do characters insist on opening their mouths? Many times in movies if you just keep your trap shut you'll either slip by unnoticed or be allowed to leave. Not keeping your mouth shut is idiotic.
Review: True Blood – I Got a Right to Sing the Blues
Television By Robert Fure on July 26, 2010 | Comments (4)Episode: "I Got a Right to Sing the Blues" (Season 3, Episode 6) Synopsis: Tara attempts to mount a rescue of Sookie and Bill when all are being held at the King of Louisiana's residence. Meanwhile, Eric and the King head off to 'negotiate' with the Queen of Mississippi while Sam finds out disturbing news about his families income source. Review: If you'd thought that True Blood was lacking in blood so far, then tonight was for you. With dead vampires, torture, skull cave-ins, and plenty of the red stuff soaking into the floors, this was possibly the bloodiest episode of the entire series. But does all that blood mean it's good?
Episode: "Trouble" (Season 3, Episode 5) Synopsis: Multiple storylines careen towards each other as the psychotic vampire detective Franklin brings Tara to the Vampire King of Mississippi, which brings Tara and Bill face to face. If that weren't enough, Sookie's search takes pause when the Mississippi vampires decide to look for her, instead.
Episode: "9 Crimes" (Season 3, Episode 4) Synopsis: Bill reaches out to Sookie in an unexpected way while she continues her search with the aide of the werewolf Alcide. In Bon Temps, Andy is promoted to Sheriff, causing a jealous and misguided Jason to demand a job on the police force. Things with Eric go south when the Magistrate shows up at Fangtasia on the trail of some vampire blood peddlers. Review: The first really great episode of the third season has arrived. Yes, the last two were good, but felt rushed and awkward for the most part. With things settled down considerably, we get more meat and less teasing throughout all the storylines.
Robert Fure once again proves he's angry and full of dirty, dirty words, though surprisingly he manages to be rather civil for 96% of this rant against censorship.
With a thousand plot lines concurrent and no signs of slowing, we weigh in on the third episode of True Blood Season 3.
Bill faces off with his werewolf captors, only to discover the supernatural being commanding them is the last one he'd expect. Back in Bon Temps, things aren't much saner as Sookie continues her search.
The sexed up, violent and ever-unpredictable world of True Blood is back in business. And we're back in Bon Temps with all the supernatural citizens of Louisiana and we'd like you to come along. We promise plenty of nudity and a smattering of werewolves.

Exclusive: Charlaine Harris Talks 'True Blood'
Features By FSR Staff on September 11, 2009 | Comments (3)Charlaine Harris who? You may not think you know her, but if it wasn't for Charlaine Harris and her creation of Sookie Stackhouse, we wouldn't have HBO's True Blood. Charlaine sat down with us at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia this past weekend to answer a few questions that we were dying to know.
It's not that we necessarily want to see the role reprised, but if it has to be, here are a few choice talents that might bring something interesting to Mad Max.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 During the time that Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah, the word of the Lord came to Micah, who was from Moresheth. He saw these visions about Samaria and Jerusalem. | 1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah--the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. |
2 Hear this, all you nations; listen, earth and all you who live on it. The Lord God will be a witness against you, the Lord from his Holy Temple. | 2 Hear, O peoples, all of you, listen, O earth and all who are in it, that the Sovereign LORD may witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. |
3 See, the Lord is coming out of his place; he is coming down to walk on the tops of the mountains. | 3 Look! The LORD is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads the high places of the earth. |
4 The mountains will melt under him, and the valleys will crack open, like wax near a fire, like water running down a hillside. | 4 The mountains melt beneath him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope. |
5 All this is because of Jacob's sin, because of the sins of the nation of Israel. | 5 All this is because of Jacob's transgression, because of the sins of the house of Israel. What is Jacob's transgression? Is it not Samaria? What is Judah's high place? Is it not Jerusalem? |
6 "So I will make Samaria a pile of ruins in the open country, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones down into the valley and strip her down to her foundations. | 6 "Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones into the valley and lay bare her foundations. |
7 All her idols will be broken into pieces; all the gifts to her idols will be burned with fire. I will destroy all her idols, and because Samaria earned her money by being unfaithful to me, this money will be carried off by others who are not faithful to me." | 7 All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all her images. Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used." |
8 I will moan and cry because of this evil, going around barefoot and naked. I will cry loudly like the wild dogs and make sad sounds like the owls do, | 8 Because of this I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl. |
9 because Samaria's wound cannot be healed. It will spread to Judah; it will reach the city gate of my people, all the way to Jerusalem. | 9 For her wound is incurable; it has come to Judah. It has reached the very gate of my people, even to Jerusalem itself. |
10 Don't tell it in Gath. Don't cry in Acco. Roll in the dust at Beth Ophrah. | 10 Tell it not in Gath; weep not at all. In Beth Ophrah roll in the dust. |
11 Pass on your way, naked and ashamed, you who live in Shaphir. won't come out. The people in Beth Ezeln will cry, but they will not give you any support. | 11 Pass on in nakedness and shame, you who live in Shaphir. Those who live in Zaanan will not come out. Beth Ezel is in mourning; its protection is taken from you. |
12 Those who live in Marothn will be anxious for good news to come, because trouble will come from the Lord, all the way to the gate of Jerusalem. | 12 Those who live in Maroth writhe in pain, waiting for relief, because disaster has come from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem. |
13 You people living in Lachish, harness the fastest horse to the chariot. Jerusalem's sins started in you; yes, Israel's sins were found in you. | 13 You who live in Lachish, harness the team to the chariot. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you. |
14 So you must give farewell gifts to Moreshethn in Gath. to the kings of Israel. | 14 Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth Gath. The town of Aczib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel. |
15 I will bring against you people who will take your land, you who live in Mareshah. will go in to Adullam. | 15 I will bring a conqueror against you who live in Mareshah. He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam. |
16 Cut off your hair to show you are sad for the children you love. Make yourself bald like the eagle, because your children will be taken away to a foreign land. | 16 Shave your heads in mourning for the children in whom you delight; make yourselves as bald as the vulture, for they will go from you into exile. |

Currently, a depression diagnosis in teens relies on their descriptions of symptoms and their physician's subjective observations. But now a new study suggests there may be a surer, more objective way: a blood test that identifies major depression by looking for a specific set of genetic markers in the blood. The breakthrough could lead to earlier diagnoses that may not only allow for better individualized treatment, but also help to lessen the stigma associated with mental illness.

Focus on engineering and services: Bilfinger sells Construction division to Implenia
The engineering and services group Bilfinger is, as planned, parting with significant portions of its civil engineering business: the leading Swiss construction and construction services company Implenia will acquire the Construction division, which is active in Germany and other European countries.
Sustainable and efficient: Bilfinger wins building-construction orders for €50 million
Bilfinger has won new orders for the modernization of an office property in Düsseldorf, the construction of an administration complex in Mannheim and for the construction of a development center for motors in Rüsselsheim. The three projects have a total order volume of nearly €50 million.
Interim Report Q3 2014
Bilfinger's business development in the first nine months of 2014 was affected by the difficult situation in the European power-plant sector and a general reticence to invest on the part of the process industry. While output volume remained stable at €5,631 million, orders received declined due to the development in the Industrial and Power business segments by 9 percent to €5,123 million. The order backlog of €6,133 million was 5 percent lower than a year earlier.
Dr. Eckhard Cordes new Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Bilfinger SE
At its meeting on November 11, 2014, the Supervisory Board of Bilfinger SE elected Dr. Eckhard Cordes (64), Partner at Cevian Capital, as Chairman. He succeeds Dr. Bernhard Walter (72) who had stepped down from the Supervisory Board with effect from November 4, 2014.

Total volume of over €90 million: Bilfinger receives significant orders in the industrial business
Bilfinger, the engineering and services group, has won two orders in Romania and Norway with a total volume of over €90 million. The largest German provider of industrial services has thus strengthened its position in Eastern Europe and bolstered its position as market leader in Scandinavia.
Earnings forecast reviewed, expectations for 2014 reduced
Following the change in the Chairmanship of the Executive Board of Bilfinger SE in August 2014, the current business situation in the individual divisions was once again analyzed and the respective opportunities and risks evaluated.
€100 million order: Bilfinger to install foundations for Sandbank Offshore Windpark
The engineering and services group Bilfinger has won an order for the installation of a total of 72 foundations for the new Sandbank Offshore Windpark. Sandbank is a joint partnership of Vattenfall (51 percent) and the city of Munich's public utility company (49 percent). The foundation elements will be installed in the seabed with the help of an installation ship in waters that are up to 34 meters deep and 90 kilometers west of Sylt in the German North Sea.
Interim Report Q2 2014
Bilfinger is currently faced with a difficult economic environment in the energy market and in the European oil and gas sector. Against this backdrop and as a result of additional project burdens, the company's business development did not meet expectations in the first half of 2014, as previously announced at the end of June.
Supervisory Board approves change in the Chairmanship of the Executive Board
Roland Koch, Chairman of the Executive Board at Bilfinger SE since 2011, has offered the Supervisory Board of the company to step down on mutually agreed terms. In a meeting on August 7, 2014, the Supervisory Board accepted this offer with effect from August 8, 2014.
Adjustment of 2014 forecast and upcoming change in Executive Board Chairmanship
The Executive Board of Bilfinger SE has decided today to reduce the forecast for financial year 2014 published on June 30, 2014. With an anticipated output volume of approximately €7.8 billion, the company now expects an adjusted EBITA in the magnitude of €340 to €360 million, a reduction of €40 million.
Sector ranking of industrial services providers: Bilfinger extends leading position
The engineering and services group Bilfinger has extended its number one position among German industrial services companies. This was the result of the just-published Lünendonk Study for the year 2013. Bilfinger had already been ranked first by a wide margin in previous years.

The engineering and services group Bilfinger has won an order in the Norwegian city of Stavanger for the construction of the Eiganes Tunnel which will significantly reduce the volume of traffic in the city core.
Energy producers rely on expertise from Bilfinger
Bilfinger makes power plant operators more flexible: district heating storage components allow the temporary intermediate storage of heat energy for heating and combined cycle power plants. The engineering and services group will be building such a plant for a biomass heating plant in Bruneck, Italy starting in May 2014. The order has a volume of about €1 million.
Bilfinger wins major order worth over €60 million for thermal power plant in Lodz
Due to their age, a significant share of Eastern European power plants must be retrofitted with modern technology. In this regard, Bilfinger, the engineering and services group, has won a major order for the modernization of a thermal power plant for its client, Dalkia, in the Polish city of Lodz.
Bilfinger presented at Brand Awards
High praise for Bilfinger's new brand presence: the magazine Absatzwirtschaft (Industrial Marketing) and the German Marketing Association presented Bilfinger with a special prize at the Brand Awards for its pioneering change process from a construction company to an engineering and services group.

How to generate the positive energy found in successful organizations
What is organizational energy? According to internationally recognized leadership coach David Cottrell, it is not short-term enthusiasm for the latest corporate program-of-the-week. Instead, it is grounded in something much deeper—a solid commitment to an organization, its mission, and its values. When used positively, organizational energy strengthens and solidifies personal motivation, producing… (more)

I am searching for information regarding the father of John and Julia Canterbury. They were born about 1833-1835 to Martha (Patsy)Atkinson Canterbury?. Martha later married Cornelius Angel at Gallia County Ohio in 1836. John and Julia May have been twins, the 1850 Census reports both birth dates as 1935.

BOZEMAN — A jury awarded $2.3 million to the Museum of the Rockies Inc. in a lawsuit against a Bozeman-area developer who failed to pay a promised endowment and research gift after using the museum and paleontologist Jack Horner in promotional materials for a proposed upscale housing development.
The jury on Thursday found Wade Dokken's company, Ameya Preserve, liable for negligent misrepresentation, fraud and constructive fraud.
"We're devastated, obviously," Dokken said on Friday. He said the development planned to dedicate $30 million to $40 million to charity, including the Museum of the Rockies.
"The idea of being sued by a charity for a business failure — it's astounding to me," Dokken said. He said his attorney will ask the judge to set aside the verdict, and, if that fails, they will appeal.
Ameya Preserve was a proposed eco-friendly community south of Livingston. Museum officials said that, under a 2007 contract between the preserve and the nonprofit corporation that runs the museum, the preserve was to give the museum a $2 million endowment over five years.
That was in exchange for using the museum and "Jurassic Park" consultant Horner in marketing materials and renaming Horner's position at the museum to the Ameya Preserve Curator of Paleontology. The development's marketing also said buyers would be able to go on dinosaur digs on neighboring lands with Horner.
Museum attorney Devlan Geddes told the AP on Friday that Dokken also spoke at museum events and at one, handed out brochures and played an Ameya Preserve promotional DVD that included Horner.
However, the development failed, and, in April 2009, Dokken said he couldn't make the donation.
"The $2 million was if success occurred," with the development, Dokken said Friday. The museum argued that Ameya Preserve signed a contract to make the donation and also agreed to pay more than $1.2 million over 15 years for field work.
"No reasonable person would say that the effort that (the museum) put in was valued at $2 million," Dokken said. Dokken's attorney, David Charles, said it was the museum that sought out Dokken as a potential donor to kick off a capital campaign.
Charles argued that Horner didn't use his Ameya Preserve title in a book, nor did he identify himself with the title when talking to the press. Charles argued that Horner's sporadic use of the title breached the contract before Dokken's failure to pay. Horner testified last week that, when he was writing a book in 2008, he included the title.
"But by 2009, it was very clear that I wasn't going to be the Ameya Preserve curator anymore, so I took it off," Horner said.

How are our values formed? How do we pass faith on to our children? This sociologist has devoted 35 years to these questions.
I am a believer–in God, and in scientific data. I've studied religion from the inside as a person of faith and from the outside as a social scientist.
This may seem paradoxical to some people. To me it's been a journey of discovery, about my own faith and about how faith is passed from one generation to the next. I've been surprised at the way my own faith journey has been borne out by the very research I've done.
For 35 years, my research team and I have interviewed thousands of people from different generations in a study of families and health that included questions about religion.
What I've learned is this: Even with all the societal pressures families face today, when warm and loving parents practice faith, most often their children will follow them in faith.
Maybe not exactly in the same way and not without periods of questioning, but the data from our study are clear: A warm, faith-based home most often produces faith-based children.
Parents Set the Foundation
It's easy to get the impression that young people don't listen to their parents, especially on matters of religion. But people were saying that same thing generations ago. It wasn't particularly true then, and our data show it's not true now.
My research indicates that children who grow up in what they experience as close, loving relationships with their parents are nearly twice as likely to share their parents' religious beliefs as those who say their parents were distant and unaffectionate.
Another researcher, Scott Myers, a sociology professor at Montana State University, analyzed the results of numerous nationwide studies and concluded that "parents' religiosity is the primary influence on the religiosity of their adult offspring." Not by dictating faith practices but by setting a consistent example.
My own experience is a case in point. I was born into a very religious family. As far back as the 1600s, the men in my family were church leaders. My dad was an Evangelical Covenant Church pastor. I was an only child, and it was assumed that I would be called to be a minister too when I grew up.
Be uplifted, inspired, and motivated when you download a Free eBook of our most popular inspirational sayings.
Every Sunday I sat in the church listening to my father preach about how God is always with us, always guiding us, telling us what his will is for us. At home my dad would ask for God's guidance in everything, the smallest decision in his life, praying aloud, his head bowed.
"God speaks to us every day," he told me. "You just have to listen."
My parents encouraged me in everything I did. I excelled in school, especially science. And in music. When I was old enough I joined the church choir. All those voices joined as one, the organ soaring, the poetry in the words, it all filled me with joy. That was what I looked forward to most about church.
But guess what? God never spoke to me, not once, certainly not the way he conversed with my father. So how could I be a preacher, as my parents wished? I prayed. But as far as I could tell, no one out there was listening.
I could see the hurt in my parents' eyes when I told them I wanted to go into science, not ministry. But I did please them by going to our church college, North Park University in Chicago. There I found some amazing classes that opened my eyes to the variety of religious experiences.
Then I was off to doctoral studies at the University of Chicago, where I met students and faculty who said, "God is dead," and who felt modern society had outgrown religion. It was the 1960s, and nothing was sacred. This new generation, my generation, seemed to want to tear everything down.

A midlevel New York court has upheld the use of a facility dog in a sexual abuse case from Dutchess County. It's a case that inspired a state senator from Dutchess to introduce a law named after the dog.
Two New York state lawmakers from the Hudson Valley are behind legislation that would grant judges greater leeway to permit facility dogs in the courtroom in an effort to help certain witnesses through difficult testimony.
Freshman Democratic state Senator Terry Gipson is sponsoring Rosie's Law, named for the first assistance dog allowed by a New York court to accompany a witness during testimony. In this case, Rosie accompanied a girl known as Jessica during the proceedings, in a child and sexual abuse case, in Gipson's district. Here's Gipson.

Over 100 "devices" to be compatible by the end of the year.
Over a year ago we argued that the "smart" part of Smart TVs — the apps, the connectivity, the widgets — is useless. Unwanted. Turns out we weren't alone. Everyone really does just want a dumb TV.
Lenovo's Android-powered K91 is, in their words, a "Smart TV" that runs Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest version of the OS. On top of running any Android 4.0-compatible app, Lenovo promises optimised apps, including 100 that are already preloaded. The only catch is that it's a China exclusive for now.
There's never been a better time to cut the proverbial cord and get your non-free-to-air TV through the internet. IP Vision has just jumped from set-top boxes to smart TVs with its FetchTV app, which went live today for Panasonic's Smart Viera TVs. The app offers cheap on-demand pay-as-you-watch content from "major studios".

Today we are excited to announce the launch of Rackspace Cloud Backup, a new file-based backup solution for Cloud Servers customers with a Managed Service Level. Rackspace Cloud Backup is fully integrated with Cloud Servers and offers a file-based alternative to backing up the whole server image.
Many of you are used to taking snapshots of your servers (you probably call them server images). If you have a solution where you want to save the server's state or configuration, or want to keep gold copies of your system, then you basically create an image backup of the server. Because it is an image of the whole server, there is really no control over the individual files. You cannot, say, recover a single file from that image, or update a single file. But, on the other hand, having a single file to manage (the image) allows you to easily recreate a new server with that identical configuration and state.
Rackspace Cloud Backup, however, is a FILE-BASED backup. This means that you can specify which folders or files to backup or restore. You can always choose to backup or restore the whole system with all of its folders and files, but the distinction with image backups is that the granularity of Rackspace Cloud Backup is at the file level, as opposed to it being at the whole server image level.
Moreover, Rackspace Cloud Backup is also an INCREMENTAL backup tool. It only copies the portions of the files that changed for those files that actually changed. This gives you flexibility because, with the possible exception of your first complete backup, every subsequent backup is just a "delta" of the previous backup. These "deltas" are smaller in size and overall make for faster backups and faster restores and also reduce the amount of storage required. Image backups are not incremental. They are a copy of the system as a whole, every time.
In addition to providing you with more detailed and incremental, file-level granularity for your backups and restores, Rackspace Cloud Backup has the following features and benefits:
We think that Rackspace Cloud Backup for Cloud Servers with Managed Service Level is a great addition to your toolkit. Both of these backup techniques, whether image level or file level, have their place and are applicable to different needs. Just remember that, in general, if you need to maintain a copy of an image for re-provisioning of a server in a single step, then just continue using image backups. However, if you need the flexibility to manage backups at the file level, then use Rackspace Cloud Backup.
Finally, as noted above, this launch is currently ONLY available to customers of Cloud Servers with Managed Service Levels. We are working to make sure ALL of you have access to this great service in the future.
Rackspace Cloud Backup fees are included as part of the Cloud Servers with a Managed Service Level offering. The standard storage fees (which we just lowered from $0.15 to $0.10 per GB per month) will apply to the data backed up.
For more information on how to use this new feature please see the Getting Started with Rackspace Cloud Backup article and Rackspace Cloud Backup Frequently Asked Questions.
Nice description of the Rackspace Cloud Backup. I'd just one query do you offer unlimited data storage as well.
[…] Managed Cloud Servers customers have been using Cloud Backup for months, and today we've made Cloud Backup generally available to all Cloud Servers customers. Whether you're the developer, system administrator, business owner or you wear multiple hats, Rackspace Cloud Backup protects you from the unexpected. If hard drives fail on the host server (and unfortunately this is unavoidable), or you lose a file – and we've all done that – you can get back to normal quickly with the ability to rapidly restore your critical data. […]
Looking forward to this functionality being available to standard cloud servers as well as cloud servers with a managed service level.
Hey Alex, we just shipped Cloud Backup for all servers yesterday (8/30/2012). Take a look at http://www.rackspace.com/blog/rackspace-cloud-backup-be-ready-for-the-unexpected/
Have been using it for a couple weeks and works great. The only thing is that I wish there was an API for this service. Also, we've created a puppet module for Rackspace CloudBackup if anyone is interested:
Also available via the Puppet Forge here:
Feel free to fork and contribute
Cloud computing services helps your business cut costs while reducing the complexity of your data center increasing overall efficiency.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds chicken legs and thighs

I made this dish but add some onions after browning the chiken and add some parsley, oregano and it was very flavorful. thanks.
I read the review of another person before cooking this, so I added some fresh basil, fresh parsley, oregeno, a few slices of freh tomato on top and a splash of red wine over each piece of chicken before cooking this dish. Came out great

The kids Loved It I thought It was Alright could use more flavor. My Boyfriend said its a 3 star recipe. i think i will use more spices next time.
Cooked chicken in the nu-wave oven...simmered crushed tomatoes w/ garlic, onion, and italian seasoning. Make w/ veggie of ur choice and rice
it's really just chicken and spagetti sauce, not cacciatore. That said it is very easy and kid friendly
Simple, quick and makes a good meal!
although this was quick and easy. It had next to no taste to it so my son did not like it at all, and he loves chicken
The cooking is spot on, but it needs some vegetables and spices to be cacciatore.

If I knew it was workplace policy, I would be fine with it, because I could work elsewhere if I wasn't.
As someone who has had to deal with plagiarism in courses taught, I am very much in favor of detention on first offenses for failure to cite sources or quote works. It's a serious problem later in life, especially for those in fields where scholarly publication is a key part of work. Plagiarism, accidental or intentional, will get you rejected from publication and (depending on circumstances) could get you fired or open your school/company up to lawsuits.
Re:Fines - From the Article (326 comments)
Untied shoes increase the risk of tripping and falling. Private schools have to worry about the cost of insurance against injury claims, and want to maximize students' ability to attend class (as opposed to being in the infirmary/hospital).
Re:So, from the article... (326 comments)
If these are the rules, then they do warrant a detention, by definition.
You disagree with these detentions. I disagree with your disagreeing. Regardless of our opinion, these are the rules.
I strongly encourage bans on junk food in schools, and harsh punishment of potential plagiarism. If you want good behavior later, you have to encourage it.
Re:If you can't pay the fine don't do the crime (326 comments)
I'd say the lesson is more like "parents are monetarily disincentivized from supporting behavior that results in detention". Detention is not free childcare.
Re:So, from the article... (326 comments)
Attendance of non-public schools is not a right. Failure to comply with rules can (and, I would argue, should) result in punishment for failure to obey known policies and rules.

The Motherboard
The layout of the ABIT AV8 board is a world apart from that of the MSI model we looked at previously. Though different, there still aren't many problem areas to be concerned with. The Northbridge is covered by only a passive heatsink and it sits far away from the AGP port so there will be no problems in this area. The 20-pin main power connection is below the processor socket, but it sits far enough away where you won't have to worry about wires getting into your fan blades.
As with the MSI board, the ABIT AV8 comes complete with the plastic HSF mount and also a backing plate secured to the reverse side. For those unaware of the concept of this plate, it allows the heatsink to be mounted with more force than a PCB would be able to tolerate. It also has vents in the metal plate so heat won't build up to the point where it becomes an issue.
There is just a bit of clutter around the socket on the ABIT board, but not enough to interfere at all with the large Thermaltake cooler used for testing. It will take an extreme sink to cause problems with this board.
At least the creator of this board wasn't color blind like that of the MSI version. You simply install your memory into slots of the same color and you have dual channel working perfectly. As with the other board tested, you use non-ECC, non-registered DDR memory so you won't have to worry about getting expensive ECC/registered modules.
Since many folks are new to the Athlon processors coming out nowadays, here is a brief rundown of the different socket configurations regarding memory. Socket 754 systems use non-ECC memory but only offer a single channel memory controller. Socket 940 was actually designed for server boards and require the higher priced ECC modules. Finally, the Socket 939 is set to become the AMD mainstream and offers the ability to use non-ECC modules in a dual channel setup.
A single 8x AGP slot and five PCI slots seems to be the norm. The ABIT is no different in its offering, but like most quality boards hitting the market it offers most of the standard peripherals onboard. If you have a desire for a sound board or other devices, though, you're well prepared to accommodate them.
One of the special points of the ABIT board are the jumpers. While not something you use every day, they do come into use pretty frequently for the enthusiast (especially the CMOS reset). The jumpers used on this motherboard are very user-friendly. They come with a high grip that makes it very easy to remove the jumper and set it to another position. Sometimes it is the simple things that stand out and it certainly was a nice change to be able to easily manipulate the jumpers.

Salt Lake City, UT United States
These luxury downtown loft style condominiums' plans included roof decks but the project got off to a rocky start when it was put on hold for about 3 years after Phase 1.
The 1st Phase roof decks had been completed with a bad plan and poor installation of an underlayment below composite boards. They were already showing signs of waterproofing failure before the next Phase even started.
With two Phases left to complete, the new developer had to be confident in the product and the installation techniques for these high-profile roof decks.
The project developer contacted Duradek of Utah who was able to provide the ideal solution for these new penthouse roof decks - Duradek Supreme Granite Chip.
Installed by trained and authorized professionals that are skilled in the specific details that roof deck waterproofing requires, Duradek provides long lasting waterproofing peace of mind with a 10-year waterproofing warranty.
The new condo owners get a beautiful, low maintenance roof deck that they can enjoy for years without the need for ongoing maintenance….and the project developer had some fast-selling, worry-free roof deck units.
Job Note:
Roof Decks are a fantastic value added feature that developers can use to increase profit and demand. The Broadway Park Loft towers' units that had roof decks sold out rapidly and the developer now has a long waiting list for the next project. Furthermore, the inclusion of roof decks on the top floor units provided additional profit per 300 sq. ft. roof deck!
Quote from architect who viewed these roof decks on a CSI Walking Tour:
"I expected to see a roof. What I saw was a floor."
Duradek vinyl membranes are a single ply sheet pvc membrane that are classified as both a pedestrian traffic coating and roofing membrane.
Duradek has been installed on over 125 million sq. ft. of decks in all North American climates over its 40 year history.
