Europe's role in global nuclear security
Posted: 31/01/2012 Filed under: EU Non-proliferation and disarmament conference, Jasper Pandza, Non-Proliferation | Tags: biological, chemical, EU, EU Non-proliferation conference, non-proliferation, nuclear, Nuclear Security Summit, nuclear terrorism, Seoul Leave a commentby Jasper Pandza, Research Analyst, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
The threat of terrorists using nuclear and radiological materials will be on the agenda when 54 world leaders convene at the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit in less than two months. Twelve EU countries and President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy are set to attend. Denmark, current holder of the separate rotating EU Presidency, is one of three new countries recently invited by the Korean hosts.
European leaders accept that a nuclear or radiological terrorist attack is a real possibility, but they do not allocate quite the same priority to this threat as the US does. So what role should European nations play in strengthening global nuclear security?
European countries have done well in protecting weapons-usable nuclear materials from illicit access, and in complying with nuclear security treaties and guidance. But nuclear security conditions can also be improved in Europe. France is a case in point; it has not ratified core international agreements, like the 2005 CPPNM Amendment, and nuclear materials are handled at a many sites across the country.
Indeed, the most important role Europe can play is to set a good example. For countries that have not yet invested sufficient resources in protecting their nuclear and radiological materials, it is essential that developed states adhere to nuclear security instruments and best-practices. Some countries associated with the Non-Aligned Movement primarily see nuclear security regulations as a hurdle to their nuclear energy ambitions. But the EU could help to demonstrate that taking nuclear security seriously does not hinder nuclear energy programmes. EU countries should also boost the IAEA's Nuclear Security Fund, which relies on voluntary commitments, and share nuclear security know-how and capacities through the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. Numerous countries, especially in Central Asia, have increased their nuclear detection and forensics capacities in that way.
Nuclear energy is an essential part of the EU's energy mix, producing about a third of its electricity. If Europe wants to keep the nuclear energy option open for the future, then the European public must see nuclear energy as both safe and secure, at home and abroad. Surveying the damage from the Fukushima accident, it's clear that the social and economic consequences of a possible nuclear sabotage attack would be immense and hard to mitigate. Amid public pressure after the accident, a pro-nuclear German government decided to discontinue its nuclear energy programme by 2022. Admittedly, the German anti-nuclear movement has a long history and Fukushima was a powerful catalyst rather than the sole reason. But Italy decided by referendum to stay non-nuclear and other countries followed suit with similar decisions.
From the 2012 summit preparatory meetings an agreement to minimise the use of highly enriched uranium in civilian applications seems very likely. One can hope for further tangible summit outcomes. But nuclear security summits are unlikely to continue for much longer as dedicated, bi-annual meetings attended by heads of government. Eventually, potential for reaching meaningful agreements at those meetings may peter out and, frankly, the process places a burden on national administrations. At that stage, nuclear security may need to be integrated into a different international process such as the GICNT or the G20 meetings. Whatever choice is made, European governments play an important role in making sure nuclear security remains a high international priority.

A Comprehensive Guide to Teaching Children About Finance
Posted by : Timothy Brogan
In today's world children are bombarded with an instant gratification mentality. With credit cards and "buy it now pay later" children can become unaware of this problematic premise within finances. Financial literacy statistics show that out of 4,000 students only 35.5% passed the Jump$tart finance survey. A K-12 teacher study in 2007 showed that teachers believe that students do not have efficient financial literacy skills.
A 2007 Schwab survey shows that over 50% of teens lack the knowledge to budget, pay bills, understand credit card interest, and what a 401 K plan is. By the time college starts many children have credit cards.

I keep reading posts about how someone added 3000 incoming links to their site in a short period of time, and lo and behold, they think they got sandboxed. 3000 links? Come on!
I have a new site that I made live in March. I spent the last 3 months garnering RELATIVE links back to my site. I searched, contacted, phoned, conjoled, etc. The way I see it, I can maybe contact and email 50 to 100 webmasters per day. Of those, I get maybe 20 responses. After exchanging info, that gives me about 20 links I can possibly get per day.
Now granted, I did not work at this full time. I have 40 other web sites out there. But, the sum total of all the RELATIVE links I have garnered is about 200. That is in the last 2 months and I haven't even worked on the tip of the iceberg yet.
So what am I saying? If I was the G and suddenly a brand new site popped up with 3000 incoming links, I think I would do much more then sandbox it. I would probably ban it. The only way you could physically get that many links coming in would be from some pretty devious methods, ie. link farms, non-relative links, heavy cross-linking within subnet blocks, etc.
So do you really want to allow sites that suddenly have 3000, 4000 or 10,000 brand new links coming in to top the SERPS? I think not. Sites designed and implemented like this exist for only one reason. And that is to top the SERPs. Shame on the webmasters who do this. Haven't you got it yet? The number of links coming in doesn't matter, it's the relativity of those links and the relativity of your site.
Another case in point...
I have 4 sites currently in the #1 spot for many very competative key phrases. Of those 4 sites only 1 has more then 200 incoming links that I busted my you know what to get. The other 3 have maybe 200 between them. So why do my sites do so well? You better start looking at unique and relative content, relative incoming links, and something new to offer your users. That is the only way. It takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of time. It doesn't happen overnight.
So get to it...
1) I don't think getting 1000's of inbound links all of a sudden is necessarily something that sites should be "banned" for doing. There are certainly a lot of legitimate and traditional non-seo marketing partnerships that could produce those numbers of backlinks (where both parties are oblivious of their effect on Google).
2) What about fads, breaking news, or the latest email fwd...? These types of sites probably go from a few links to hundreds (if not thousands) in a short period of time. Should Google ban those sites? Obviously not. Should Google rank them highly -- probably.
It sounds like the best way to avoid penalties is to mimic organic linking structures. Thousands of links from one or two domains overnight might draw a flag from G, but shouldn't get a site banned.
So give me an example of this. And if the parties are oblivious... who cares?
Okay, I will give you this one. But news sites will never get sandboxed because the latest news story is just a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount of backlinks.
Fads? Maybe. not sure what you mean by email fwd...
As I understand, these sites are not banned, they are sandboxed. Sort of like a temporary penalty. The flag that is being drawn is sandboxing.
On more than one occasion, a few years ago, we launched freeware software products that gained thousands of links within a few weeks - NONE of them solicited in any way.
AS far as "sandboxing" goes, the amount or type of links does not seem to matter. When this first became apparent I noted a charity site that had around 50 links from very nice sources, including a PR9 with no other links, that got sandboxed.
None of this matters as you will still rank in time. If you need quick traffic use pages from exisiting domains.
So tell me, how can you get links unsolicited. I would think that the polite thing to do would to ask for the link. In fact, you would pretty much have to.
If you have decent content, you'll get lots of unsolicited links, it just takes a little time.
People naturally link to good resources.
If it was this easy, anyone could do it.
Look at the sites that have PR9 and 10. They did not get there by blasting their link to thousands of sites. It was a natural progression of other sites finding useful content and linking to them.
And a lot of these sites did not garner the backlinks overnight. It was a natural progreesion that took time. Granted, there are sites that were just always there that are the grand daddies of the web world. But I am talking about sites that joined the game later and earned their right to the top.
I would be suspicious of 3000 links from different domains, but just 3000 links... If I add someone to the recommended sites side menu on my blog, they're guaranteed 1000 links right there since that shows up on every entry. I assume Google recognizes that, though, and diminishes the weight. Or does it?
webdude, I think you're misunderstanding what mfishy said.
The statement was NOT that they use software to acquire links. It's that they offer a piece of freeware on their web site and as soon as it's available, many other sites link to the download page so people can get that software.
Is that right, mfishy?
(It's like people linking to Apple's site when the new version of iTunes comes out, for example. Should Apple be penalized for getting thousands of links in a matter of hours or days?)
I have mixed feelings about blogs. In some cases it seems to work, in others it does not. I have never studied blogs nor am I inclined to try it.
And I think you are right, G recognizes this and diminishes the weight. And if G doesn't now, I think in the near future G will.
He launched a freeware software product which attracted unsolicited links to the site it was launched from.
Actually, winzip is a great example of this kind of linking.
<Edit>Blimey, pleekers fast on the draw tonight ;-)</Edit>
[edited by: trillianjedi at 8:42 pm (utc) on June 23, 2004]
I reread the post and you are right. I apologize. mfishy makes a good point.
So I have a plan.....I'm just gonna make my new sites and cross link them (not too heavily) and wait.....
If i'm sandboxed ...so be it....I'll rank eventually.
I got different IP's, whois, page design, theme of website etc etc.
I'm determined to get to the top of serps in my fields. nothing will stop me, only delay me.
That's one way to look at it.
I can clearly see that my problems are with the new google bot, in it's attempt to spioder dynamic content better they have confused tracking urls and dynamic urls generated by other search engines with the real urls.
I suggest that google sees these as duplicate content instead of incorrect urls.
yeah but what about networking my sites to the top of the listings.....?
What has been getting a lot of sites nuked (IMO) is obvious PR buying WITH the combination of obvious PR selling. IE, buy links build PR, then start selling them.
To really do a sitewide link well, you need some sort of random text generator with the words in front and behind so that no link is the same.
Links in signitures of forums can similarly be duplicate, since they always reside in the same sentence, despite being on different parts of many pages of the same site. If the link is at the front or back of the sig, or is particularly short, the words around can be different enough that the filter is not applied.
If Google can see dup content that we find out about with the "repeat the search..." filter, then it makes sense that it also takes such content into account with its ranking of pages.
Too many links between similar sites also sets off the "same site" penalty, where Google only shows one of those sites.

You can't just go online or read a paper to find out what happened with this gloriously wrong-looking demolition in Chengdu. I heard that one or several people were injured by debris, for example, but there seemed to be no way to confirm or disprove this. The site was fenced and there were multiple sentries posted throughout the day to keep people out, so this was taken at around 4am, while carefully avoiding the tents of full-time on-site workers, and using only the ambient light of Chengdu that reflects nicely off the ever-present canopy of mostly industrial smog.

Maris Farms 2014 Harvest of Terror
More thrills, more chills!
The 2014 Maris Farms Harvest of Terror, presented by 106.1 KISS FM, is sure to provide more thrills and more chills to all who dare visit the Buckley farm this fall! The Monster Safari is a high-octane, mega-intense survival shooting experience against an army of zombies while our Haunted Woods combines a creepy quest through the corn with around-the-corner, emotional roller coaster thrills through the forest.
The tandem of terror begins its frightful season Oct. 4th and continues each Friday & Saturday night (see Schedule & Pricing Page for full schedule) throughout the month, in addition to extra dates in the countdown to Halloween. These are two high-startle, high action haunted attractions and are not recommended for children under 10 or people with heart conditions.
Zombie "encampments" growing, as is their craving for the living!
Last year's attraction saw safari goers battle walking dead "encampments." This year, those same "encampments" have grown and nobody aboard the rolling paintball tanks will be safe as there promises to be more thrilling sets, more zombies and more spine-tingling effects to deal with just to survive this horror-filled ordeal! Once again, each rider will control one of the 40 customized paintball guns to shoot their way back to civilization. This is survival shooting to the max with an army of Zombies to keep you entertained and on your toes. Remember, these buses and their guns have been known to breakdown at the absolute worst times! The experience is approximately 12-15 minutes long. Getting to the attraction involves a brief scenic walk from the ticket booth to the back of the farm.
Haunted Woods adding plenty of "new look" sets, characters in 2014!
This adventure through Pierce County's longest and scariest haunt attraction begins with your wait inside an old cattle barn before you embark on the terrifying trail in the corn. And you'll notice a change right off the bat as you leave that old barn through a foggy, swamp-like experience that's sure to grab your heart and yank it out your mouth!
The trail meanders through 12-foot tall cornstalks and past creepy creatures and through some very sadistic sets. This terrifying trek through the cornfield is filled with walk thru sets, several animatronic characters and more than 25 actors in full makeup and custom costumes.
After nearly a ½ mile of twists, turns and terror in the corn, you'll enter a dark forest. Trees with moving limbs will reach to hug you, and beware the barrel-throwing maniac and the other 20+ freaks that lurk the woods. A psycho, drill-happy dentist and a scary, ground-crawling little girl (who climbs out of an old well) await your company. The trail returns to the cornfield for a climactic last ½ mile of terror! Whatever you do, do not anger the chainsaw-dueling grandparents near the end – they are not happy you've invaded their farm! What evil lurks around the next turn? Is someone or something watching you? Can you feel their bloodshot eyes follow your every move as you travel the trail? This is truly not for the faint of heart! Approximately 30-35 minutes long.
Special Note: Due to an intense fright factor, the Harvest of Terror attractions are NOT recommended to children 10 & under or people with heart conditions. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS .
And during the day…
The Monster Safari turns into a daytime attraction called "Paintball Safari" for those that still like the idea of shooting at things, but not necessarily the scare aspect. You'll ride through the same ½ mile trail and attempt to destroy as many targets as possible…and occasionally, you'll have the opportunity to shoot at live targets as well (weekends only).
Facilities Disclaimer : Please keep in mind Maris Farms is operated around a rustic dairy farm setting and natural environments. You may encounter uneven terrain, rocks, mud, and corn leaves. Please plan accordingly. Please obey both common sense and established rules of each venue when visiting. We welcome any and all input to help us improve the venue.
News & Updates

And you can take out your frustration by taking out several villages of zombies in the Monster Safari, back for the third year.

Bra Measuring Instructions and Sizing ...
In order for a bra to fit properly it is essential to choose the right size. Research shows that 70%
of all women have the wrong bra size. A poorly fitting bra is often the reason why many women
have backache and ultimatly sagging. To work out your size you need two dimensions: the
measurement around the bust and under the bust. It is the difference in cm between these two
measurements that determines the cup size. Use a standard dressmaker's tape measure. For
best results, have someone else measure you. If between sizes, buy the larger size.
- Take a snug measurement around your rib cage, under your bust
and then add 5". Example: 29"+ 5" = 34" (between size, so go up one) 34"
- With bra on and clothes off, take a loose measurement around the fullest part of your bust and
then add 5".
Example: 36" + 5" = 41"
- Subtract Band Measurement (from Step 1) from Bust Measurement (from Step 2).
Example: 41 - 34 = 7"
- Use the chart below to determine your Cup Size:
Example: 7" = C Cup
If difference is: 5" 6" 7" 8" 9" 10" 11" 12" 13"
Cup Size is: A B C D DD E F FF G
4. Your bra size: 34 C

Overcome depression nowOur Latest book |
I feel like everything is against me By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.
Have you ever felt that everything is against you?I am sure you felt, at least once in your life, that everything is against you. I know how such moments feel when you realize that no one is supporting you and that everyone is putting you down. During these moments, the majority of people feel like wanting to give up. A large number of them actually give up and never manage to try again. But the question those people should have asked themselves is, didn't successful people face the same kind of rejection? Didn't each successful person go through a time where everything was against him? Oscar Pistorius knows the secret to successYesterday Oscar Pistorius the south African athlete who joined 2012 Olympics qualified for the semi finals of the 400 meters. This might seem like an ordinary piece of news until you know that Oscar is an amputee who has no legs! When he was a little baby Oscar lost his both legs and had to walk using artificial limbs. This disability didn't stop him and he went on playing tennis and rugby! After a serious knee injury he decided to give up on rugby. Do you still believe that the whole world is against you? If Oscar sent me a message telling me that ,during the day he got the knee injury, i would have believed him but what kind of obstacles are you facing today in order to say that everything is against you? This injury didn't stop Oscar but he just decided to be flexible and to become a runner. Oscar became a famous runner not only because of his iron will but because of the records he made. (see How to do miracles in life) Today, Oscar has proved that no force on earth could stop a man who has an iron will. Oscar is one of the fastest runners in the world yet he has no legs! (See How to do the impossible in life). How to get whatever you want in lifeSome people make money while others make excuses. The difference between any of those two groups is the desire to succeed under all costs. When i lost all my money in the stock market years ago i could have said that everything is against me and everyone would have believed me. But i refused to give up and i became a dot com millionaire after years of hard work on my online business. (see my book how i did it) If you were to race with Oscar today he will certainly win! you have two legs and he doesn't have any but he will win because he has an iron will. If there is any message i want to deliver to you today it would be: You have no excuses. I know that life is tough, i know that many things are currently against you but i also know that if you persisted, became flexible and refused to admit defeat you will become successful one day. Life is fair, but it only treats people fairly when they show determination. (see Ultimate guide to becoming rich i will teach you everything that you need to know in order to become rich. Want to know more? Do not tell me it can't be done How to challenge the world and do the impossible How to make anyone fall in love with me fast?How to get over anyone in few days?

Not really. If the contractor is very careful and you are really lucky he might be able to pull them out and then reinstall them after the new cabinets are installed. A lot of this will have to do with how well the counters were installed in the first place. Also, the existing countertops may not line up with the new cabinets exactly in some areas as well as they do now. The better option is to have the cabinets refaced, leaving the boxes and tops in place. Unlless you have deteriorating particle board cabinets you should be able to get a carpenter to do this. If you decide to remove the countertops and install new cabinets factor in new tops and be pleasantly surprised if they can be reinstalled afterall. Realize you probably won't find a contractor willing to gurantee not damaging the tops. If you do, dig in and research him well. He likely doesn't have enough experience.

As long as the counter is big enough Corian is one of the easier ones to work with. Since it does not have the ground or crushed stone that some of the other material have you can work with normal woodworking tools. A saw with a fine tooth carbide blade and a professional grade router with the proper shaped carbde bit can be used if the edge needs finishing. A belt sander helps on cuts also. The only problem you might have is if you need the joint kits for seaming as I dont think you can buy them.
When Corian first came out I could buy the slabs and fabricate my own tops and then Dupont went to a certified distributor system and would no longer sell to those of us that had been working with it for years. I will admit that they did have reasons for this as not all that were working with the product were doing it right.

Someone came out to take a look at different options and the ballpark quote was significantly higher than I expected. We discussed making up an official quote making a cabinet next to the fridge but I never heard back from him.
We then set out to determine where to put it. We were looking at building new cabinets as an addition to our island. I contacted several companies, and most said the job was too small for them. However, when I spoke with at , he noted that while the job might seem small, he'd be happy to take it on.
He came to our home for an initial visit. Considering he's in Lawrenceville and we are in East , that's no easy feat. When he looked at our idea of extending our island, he commented that we should tape off the area in question and see how would be to basically "pretend" there were cabinets there. Turns out that was a great idea because we realized we didn't want to the floor space after a day of living with the tape.
and I both had the same idea for where the microwave could go. The cabinet on one end of our island was the right width if it could be modified. It was a typical base cabinet with a drawer above two doors. The inside of the doored area housed two shelves. came back out and measured the cabinet and reviewed the installation instructions for the microwave. He determined he could make it fit. He'd have to make a few trim pieces to get the opening the right size. He also included a new drawer to go below the microwave after the installation.
He took a drawer front with him to match stain and drawer style. A few weeks later, he emailed saying the cabinet was ready, and we arranged an install date. He and his crew showed up on time, and they went to work.
I am simply amazed at how well the job turned out. The pieces they had to make match perfectly in style and stain color to the existing cherry cabinets. Plus, the drawer he built is really a thing of beauty in and of itself, and he even included the soft close drawer glides at no additional expense above his estimate.
When I installed the microwave, it fit perfectly, and it looks like the cabinet was always this way. and his crew are truly craftsmen, and I would not hesitate to use them for any future cabinet or bookcase job. provided us with a CD of photos of their past projects, and the variety of work is amazing: desks, tv cabinets, bookcases, kitchens, baths..you name it. can handle it!
If you need a cabinet maker, this is the place to go!

Genetic analysis shows that the Yeti was actually a polar bear hybrid
Aw, shucks. Science goin' off and ruining everything again for cryptozoologists. The latest blow comes from a UK geneticist who says hair samples from an alleged Yeti, or Abominable Snowman, actually came from another — albeit real — creature from the north: an ancient hybrid between polar bears and brown bears.

Wildcats await opponent

By ARNE GREEN
Special to The Hays Daily News
MANHATTAN - Bruce Weber didn't ask much of the NCAA Tournament selection committee.
He hoped his Kansas State Wildcats could play close to home and also grab an extra day of rest.
The good news was the committee obliged by giving the Wildcats a No. 4 seed in the West Regional and placing them at Kansas City's Sprint Center for the opening rounds on Friday and Sunday. But it also threw them a curve by making them wait for an opponent.
That will be determined on Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio, with the Wildcats (27-7) drawing the winner of a first-round play-in game between Boise State (21-10) and La Salle (21-9).
"Now we've got to prepare for four teams, not three teams," said Weber, whose Wildcats would face either No. 5 seed Wisconsin or No. 12 Mississippi on Sunday if they survive the opener.
They do know that tip-off Friday at Sprint Center is set for 2:10 p.m.
Regardless whether it's against La Sallle, which is making its first NCAA appearance since 1992, or Boise State, 0-5 all time in the tournament, Weber is thrilled his Wildcats don't play Thursday.
"(Playing Friday) just gives us another day to kind of rest and get treatment and relax, (because) that was a tough grind to play three nights in a row," Weber said of the Big 12 Tournament, which ended Saturday night with a 70-54 loss to Kansas in Kansas City. "We were tested every game and it took a toll on our guys.
"The extra day was the number one wish, number two was to be in Kansas City, and I hope we have some extra people there."
For K-State, this will be the fourth straight NCAA appearance and the fifth in the past six years. Rodney McGruder, Jordan Henriquez and Martavious Irving are only the second Wildcat senior class to make the tournament all four years and already have the school record for most career victories by any class with 101.
"It feels great, just to have the opportunity to go out there and try to build a legacy," said McGruder, the Wildcats' all-Big 12 guard, who leads the team with 15.7 points and 5.4 rebounds.
While McGruder appreciated the chance to return to Kansas City, where the Wildcats won twice during the weekend, he was less concerned about their draw than the fact that they're in the tournament field.
"I'm happy we get to play close (to home)," he said. "We're just fortunate that we made the tournament.
"You can't really think about, 'Man, we should have been a two seed or a three seed.' You've just got to be happy with what you get and make the best of it."
Not even Weber knew much about the Wildcats' potential opponents Sunday, though that was the next order of business for his staff following the selection show.
"Boise, you hear stuff that it was a strong bubble team and obviously they got in," he said. "And then La Salle, we actually saw a tape early in the year - I think (against George Washington) was one of the tapes we saw - and they're talented.
"That whole league (Atlantic 10) is talented."
If the Wildcats win Friday and Wisconsin takes care of business against Ole Miss, it would set up a familiar matchup on Sunday. The Badgers ended K-State's season in the second round both in 2008 and 2011.
"I look forward to it," said McGruder, who was on the 2011 team that fell 70-65 to the Badgers in Tucson, Ariz. "I have a friend that played on the team and we lost to them my sophomore year.
"That's the team that ended the career of my friend Jake (former Wildcat Jacob Pullen) and Michael Beasley's (in 2008), so a lot of my friends have a bad taste in their mouths from Wisconsin."
The 2008 team, led by freshman All-American Beasley, lost 72-55 to Wisconsin in Omaha, Neb.
Both those Wisconsin teams were seeded higher than K-State. The Badgers were a No. 3 and the Wildcats No. 11 in 2008 and No. 5 to K-State's No. 4 two years ago.
But first things first.
Weber said he was uncertain if K-State's coaches were permitted under tournament rules to scout the Boise State-La Salle game in person. Regardless, the Wildcats will have a watch party to monitor it on television.
"I know for a fact that most of our players haven't watched a full game of Boise State or La Salle," junior forward Shane Southwell said. "So now that we can watch a full game of Boise State and La Salle, we're going to pretty much know what they do.
"And our coaches are going to give us in-depth scouting reports, so I feel that we may be more prepared as players."

Any artists on Snafu, aka Gold members, could give a commission instead? Not the same as a well known name, but still.....people love free commissions

Opposite reaction. Allows us to see potential comic artists and story board designers who could inherit a slot. As the contests get more popular, it is hoped for a future contest to have the winning prize be a comic slot. Even this early, it is still a possibility for someone to get a comic slot out of this beginning contest.
Guardian wrote:I'm not sure if that's being advertised yet or where that has been floating about. But, yes, we've been thinking on another Art Contest for Snafu. There is a possibility that this one will feature the combined elements of the Literature Contest and you will be competing in designing a comic page for one of the discontinued comics, the winner will have their page featured as a comic update, but with a disclaimer that it is a contesting winning prize and not canon to the story.
HOWEVER, I have no idea if this is still the exact goal, its been a while since anything was discussed on it or what we are going to do with it.
When a decision has been made and finalized, a site wide announcement will be made.
Did you have any ideas or requests for a future contest? Or did you just want to know what is going on?

A day designed around the idea of "thanks" is a natural for those who want to give back. And as Americans have opened their hearts and wallets to disasters like the Hurricane Sandy relief and recovery efforts, there are many other ways to show thanks by helping those in need this holiday season.
On Veterans Day, November 11, we honor the brave men and women who have selflessly served our country and risked their lives to protect our freedoms. There are many ways to give back to the more than 23 million vets who have sacrificed so much.
One of the things we love about our AmeriCorps Alums is that they are ready to answer the call when they hear of situations like those created by Hurricane Sandy. "Getting things done" is more than a slogan for our national service family – they are also words to live by. So let's talk about how you can help.
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) today announced that approximately 936 national service members have been deployed to seven states affected by Hurricane Sandy, with 855 additional individuals on standby for assignments in the hardest-hit areas.
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) supports volunteer service across the nation, and we couldn't let this weekend pass without saluting the millions who will take part in the annual Make a Difference Day. You can still find a project and join them if you hurry.
The September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance is less than one month away! Many communities and organizations around the nation are in the final stages of coordinating remembrance ceremonies and service activities to observe and reflect on the day.
Here we provide answers to some of the frequently asked questions about the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance service projects and activities:
As the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance draws closer, you may be making plans to join in with a service project of your own but then realize that you have no idea where to start. We can help you with that.
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has a variety of resources to support you while creating an event for September 11th (or any other time, for that matter).
At the Corporation for National and Community Service, we hear and learn about amazing things happening through national service every day. But the best way to experience the power of national service isn't in our headquarters in Washington, DC.
It's on the ground at one of the more than 70,000 sites across the country where AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members serve. It's up close and personal with the people whose lives are being changed, and in the communities growing stronger through national service.
Originally presented in 2002 by 9/11 families and support networks, the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance honors the victims, survivors, and families of 9/11 through service-oriented programs. The 9/11 Day of Service has come to symbolize the culmination of our nation's enduring unity, engaging millions of volunteers and communities each year.
Some of our most creative AmeriCorps members and alumni took our challenge and submitted more than 300 entries for our 2012 AmeriCorps Photo and Video Contest. If you haven't checked out the submissions and cast your votes, well, now's the time!
The theme of this year's contest is "AmeriCorps Works" and contestants were asked to integrate this idea into their entries to help tell the AmeriCorps story and highlight the program's impact.

Championship leader Lewis Hamilton will start the Japanese Grand Prix from exactly the place he wanted after he secured pole position in style for McLaren at Fuji Speedway on Saturday afternoon.
Having bided his time in Q1 and Q2, with second and third-fastest times respectively, he played second fiddle to Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen during the first runs in Q3 before striking with a lap of 1m 18.404s to deprive the Finn. Raikkonen had to be content with second place after lapping in 1m 18.644s.
Felipe Massa seemed set for third place in the second Ferrari until last-minute improvements from Renaults Fernando Alonso and McLarens Heikki Kovalainen left him only fifth in the line-up. Alonso banged in 1m 18.852s, but was beaten to third by Kovalainens 1m 18.821s. Massas best was 1m 18.874s. Nobody can say the times in Formula One at present are not exquisitely close.
Timo Glock seemed to have maintained the pace he has shown all weekend, but found himself beaten late in the session by Robert Kubicas late charge for BMW Sauber to 1m 18.979s for sixth and Toyota team mate Jarno Trullis 1m 19.026s. Glock thus starts eighth on 1m 19.118s.
The Toro Rossos will make up the fifth row, with Sebastian Vettel on 1m 19.638s and Sebastien Bourdais on 1m 20.167s.
Their Red Bull siblings are close by, with David Coulthard out-qualifying Mark Webber, 1m 18.187s to 1m 18.354s for 11th and 13th places. They were separated by Renaults Nelson Piquet on 1m 18.274s.
Neither Williams made it through from Q2 this time. Kazuki Nakajima was the faster on 1m 18.594s for 14th, with Nico Rosberg 15th on 1m 18.672s.
Very surprisingly, Q1 weeded out Nick Heidfeld, who was not happy with his BMW Sauber on his way to 1m 18.835s for only 16th fastest time. He was only just ahead of Rubens Barrichello, who took his Honda round in 1m 18.882s to pip team mate Jenson Buttons 1m 19.100s. Adrian Sutil again bested Force India team mate Giancarlo Fisi8chella, with 1m 19.163s to 1m 19.910s.

Time to Fire Your Marketing Director? #VideoMKE
Attention Era, Changing Times, Leadership Thoughts, Marketing, Milwaukee, Presentations, Social Media No Comments »Why are so few companies using video for marketing? It's ridiculous!
Someone needs to get fired.
As a director and producer, video marketing is a topic I'm very passionate about. I am biased, but what better way to connect people to your voice and your soul? Short of connecting face-to-face, there's nothing better.
It's expensive. Right?
Wrong. Professional video production costs have dropped significantly in the past five years. Limited budget? There are so many tools. Everyone has an HD video camera on their smart phone. How does every random band in America have multiple music videos? Heck, even cats have their own videos.
Why doesn't your business?
Gone are the days of expensive media (VHS, DVD, etc.), all these new video apps like Vine, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube are free.
But what about Business to Business (B2B) marketing?
B2B clients are people too. Video works for everything. Anytime you have people involved, they are moved to action by passion, information, people, and music, all core strengths of video as a medium. I challenge you to post one marketing scenario in the comments below where video marketing would not work.
Need examples? One small (but growing) business who sells directly to consumers and other businesses is basically putting on a clinic about how to use video…and it's working. Take a peek at Johnson Creek Enterprises:
"How to" videos (5,500 customers know how to use their new item)
Company soul (2,200 spent 8 minutes watching what kind of company this is)
Unboxing (2,900 customers more comfortable with making a purchase)
Product launch (2,400 now aware that this company listens to requests)
Celebrating milestones (3,500 fans learned that this company has exciting plans ahead)
Of course these are just a couple examples from one company. Hardly proof, but they're not Exxon Mobil. You don't need millions of views (or dollars) to make video work for you.
Now lets get back to the whole business of firing one's marketing director. Great leaders use their intuition and look around them. If you need to read a blog post like this to know you're missing the boat, you probably shouldn't be on it. Video allows brands to share passionate, personal, relevant pieces of content for their community for free.
If you don't know that by now, then yes, it's probably time to find a different line of work. This is old news. Boring.
Video marketing isn't even experimental. It's a clear cut way to reach people with your message in an increasingly connected and visual world.
If you're not paying attention to trends, you need to get a different job.
Sorry for the rant tonight,
Aaron @Biebert
PS. I'm not criticizing people that don't know how. I'm criticizing people that don't want to know how.
If you're in the Milwaukee area, I'm giving two free talks at the American Marketing Association and Social Media Club on the subject as part of my #VideoMKE series. Feel free to join us.
Here's the fun trailer we put together:

A fun Friday video from the folks over at Sweet Stem Farm. Farmers that are not only raising humanely-raised pork, beef, and lamb — apparently they also have quite the sense of humor! If you aren't already an Adele fan, be sure to watch her original music video here before taking a peek at the parody above.
Thanks to Kate from Gatski Metal for sending me the wonderful tip on this video that I just couldn't resist sharing with each of you here today.
I'm headed up to New York and Chicago next week for some fun food activities that I'll certainly let you in on as they take shape! More Monday and enjoy the weekend!
As always,
E.A.T. local E.A.T. well

If you pay attention to business failures, you may start to perceive what some call "dead ends onto right paths." Here are a few Harvey McKay gave in his classic business book:
1) Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper. For what? For lack of ideas.
2) MGM's memo after Fred Astaire's screen test said: Can't act. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.
3) Beethoven's violin teacher declared him hopeless as a composer.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. If that list of dead ends doesn't encourage you, have someone check your pulse. Failures do not a career UN-make. On the contrary: A dead end is your signal to make a RIGHT turn . . . into the high calling of our daily work.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. (Ps. 73:26)
TheHighCalling.org seeks to create opportunities for Christian leaders to encounter God through new media tools for the transformation of daily life, work, and our world. Christian leaders are in all aspects and activities of daily life—including home, community, leisure, as well as occupation.

Party Ideas for 2014
This is the first time in recent years that many people can see some light at the end of their tunnel as the economic outlook gets better, and in our sector we can sense this by the increase in booking enquiries for the band. It is almost as if there was a correlation between the number of parties that people plan and the economy expanding. So, if you are feeling those sentiments, then 2014 is a good year for planning a party. It really does not matter so much about the scale, it is more important to invite people who matter the most to you.
If you only have a small apartment, then you could team up with someone who has a garden or hire a venue. A garden is a luxury in a crowded city, so finding a suitable venue will be a challenge. Community centres are an option and nowadays some churches have a function room for hire. Beyond that, you are faced with the more costly venues or hotels with function suites. I have ruled out derelict buildings, but I am sure that some may qualify if you are lucky to find the right one. If money is not a concern, then you may like the venue ideas in this pinterest page, Venue Ideas.Arrange your party in 2014 and if you wish to use our service for entertainment, you can visit the website, www.steelbandhire.com

Jesus saith unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." John 14:6
That's exactly what I said, Praise God!!!!!!
My state of Washington did not pass it.
My state of Maryland did not allow the voters to have a say on this. The state legislature decided for us. They unfortunately decided to vote for gay marriage. I haven't heard too much about it since, though.
I specifically started this thread because my daughter Pastor, Sean Harris, from Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, NC has been maligned lately on CNN and on Anderson Cooper for some things he said in a sermon concerning our role as parents in discouraging behaviors opposite to your child's gender. His sermon included Bible principles (as his sermons usually do) and his purpose was to encourage people to vote to approve the state amendment.
But the haters came out in full force against him and his church.......but the amendment passed anyway, praise God!
Jesus saith unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." John 14:6
I was worried. The opposition to the amendment had all kinds of ads airing saying that if this amendment passed, unmarried people wouldn't be able to get protection from domestic violence or have their children insured simply because they weren't married.
Wow finally some good news, praise God
yeah! I darkened my circle completely for Amendment one!
Thank God! But to hear the msm tell it, 90% of the people are FOR gay marriage
"...but thou, O Lord, art a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head."
Psalm 3:3
Jesus saith unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." John 14:6
Thank God! But to hear the msm tell it, 90% of the people are FOR gay marriage
You're exactly right, yet when the people are allowed to vote, it usually gets voted down. Even California has voted against gay marriage not just once, but a few times!
Not quite. I think the "pro-marriage" state count is now 30. We the people have overwhelmingly voted for pro-marriage in this country. Some state courts have ruled against the people - a simple act of judicial fiat and that's why California for example has voted a few times.
Come soon Lord Jesus - Take us Safely Home
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
So much for their Federal highway subsidies.

Oh Look,... an Atheist........I Don't believe it....
I was so relieved to see this pass. However, a majority of people on my Facebook are not. A lot of hate being expressed toward Christians for being "haters". So sad. They all seem to feel that you are not a true Christian if you do not support gay marriage. I believe a true Christian would argue that if you do support gay marriage, then you are not a true Christian. God says what He means, and means what He says, and well, He is pretty explicit on how He feels about homosexuality. I refuse to be bullied because I don't agree with liberal agendas. They can make this a civil rights issue if they want, but marriage is sanctioned by God and He doesn't sanction homosexuality. We are not telling people they can't be gay (although we are praying that they will repent and turn from their lusts). We are saying that they cannot be married under God. Tough times ahead folks. I think it is going to get harder to stand up for what is right.
"Jesus said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it."
Luke 9:23-24 (NIV)
I live in Charlotte and there is alot of hate and naming calling going on right now. So sad.
I have a lifelong friend who has been to seminary and is an associate minister at a Methodist church in a rural, southern town. (I don't agree with her being a minister, as I feel females are not to be in that role, but she feels strongly that that is where her calling is.) This was her Facebook status today:
{Mod Snip}
When several others agreed with her, she posted this:
{Mod Snip}
I am so confused and want to respond with, "I'm confused. Are you saying Jesus would vote to approve and recognize marriage between two men or two women? That's not what my bible says." but, I don't want to start drama and don't want to cast pearls before all the swine on her page.
Anyway, can someone please help me understand this perspective? Am I wrong that her thoughts are unbiblical? Am I missing something? I am truly so confused at how many professing Christians are saying similar things on social media today. I just don't get it.

IMHO First: I don't think she should be filling the Pulpit, and second she is NOT talking from the bible and God's word. Jesus would and does love the sinner but hates the sin. I would say call her out on this but since she went to seminary, In her mind she can't do no wrong and you would be wasting your words.

Seems like you understand it well enough. There's nothing more to it then that: she's wrong. On several fronts.
You can confront her with that and explain why be it that she's willing to hear you out.
You could explain how her position isn't a Biblical one.
You could come back to the point of how she's not supposed to be the head of a Christian church.
You could explain to folks on her Facebook page what it is the Bible says about homosexuality.
Of course doing any of the above, don't expect to be friends with your friend for much longer... or else have posting privileges to her Facebooks at any rate.

Industrial Cleaning Concrete Cutting: Concrete cutting is performed using a hand gun capable of producing 10,000 psi water pressure with a 0 degree pencil jet nozzle. This procedure is effective in creating exposed aggregate from a cured concrete surface. Wet Abrasive Blasting: Requiring hand held equipment with pressures ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 psi, various abrasive materials are injected into the water flow through a Venturi nozzle. Very controllable results can be attained by this method. Water effectively retards the dust and reduces the heat (warping effect), which are major negative byproducts of conventional blasting methods. Abrasive materials range from sand to crushed walnut shells or almost any abrasive, free flowing material can be used depending upon the results required. A unique feature includes the ability to recover the abrasive and allow reuse. Tube Bundles: Flex lancing usually necessitates 10,000 psi water pressure. Tube bundle residue varies in thickness and density. Specialized rotating nozzle tips perform cleaning operations on these, sometimes totally restricted, tubes. Foot control valves are essential pieces of safety equipment for applications where the jetting operator is unable to see and communicate directly with the machine operator. This also applies to applications where a stainless steel semi flexible lance without a dump type trigger assembly is used. Communication Conduits: Today's infrastructure was installed with yesterday's technology. Vitrified clay tiles with no mortar joints are susceptible to root intrusion and sifting backfill. Jetting flushes the conduits, cuts roots and lubricates the passage for insertion of a pull rope or interduct casing. Our unique jump jet capability allows us to jet along side a cable pair already occupying a conduit.

It's not a good trip to Vegas if you don't come back hurting a little.
I only wish pain were the sole criterion, as I'd have hit the jackpot -- I've spent the last two plus days suffering from the effects of some Level 6 super imperial Avian Bird Flu strain that I picked up along the way.
At least it didn't manifest itself until I got back.
I very much doubt that I can put into words how much fun the trip was. Correction, make that 100% certain. How I do know this? Well, yesterday I stopped at the grocery store for juice prior to another six hour stretch of sleep. The guy wheeling out the bags made an obvious joke about my taking his job when I grabbed my purchases, and it took me a. full. thirty. seconds. to respond.
Worse, whatever response I finally managed to get out made no sense whatsoever. Arrrrgh. Owned by the retiree wearing the natty D&W vest.
Back to Vegas. I only got to do 3% of what I wanted to do, and meet/hang with 12% of the people that I had hoped to, but I complain not.
I could have done without the endless beatdowns at each and every casino game, but again I complain not. When you're running bad, all games are -EV, and I think I used up all my luck on the good road conditions driving to/from the airport.
I would have like to have seen a better hand than pocket 4s somewhere in the nearly two hours I survived in the WPBT tournament, but I still again complain not. Joaquin punished my sorry ass when his unimproved 93s blew away my unimproved 85o.
Who knows if a full trip report lies dormant somewhere in the back of my addled noggin? For now, that's all I've got. I just hope to figure out a way to post a picture of the Poker Prof's dessert at 3950.
My humblest apologies if this post makes no sense. I'm like that right now. It's time to go back to sleep.

Reid keen to keep momentum going
Plymouth boss Peter Reid said his side must continue their winning momentum following their 1-0 home victory over relegation rivals Swindon.Rory Fallon struck the decisive blow against his former club as the resurgent Pilgrims claimed their third successive win. The victory lifted Argyle above the Robins, who slipped to the basement.Reid said: "I think the three victories have been a big, big boost for everyone and now we`ve just got to try and carry that on in two difficult away games at Hartlepool on Saturday and Carlisle next Tuesday."But we are in there and we are fighting and we are off the bottom."Considering the Arsenal were playing Barcelona on the TV I thought the crowd, from the moment we got here, were brilliant."The clean sheet has pleased me more than anything. The support was outstanding again and I am really pleased with the way the players went about it."

"Great app! I recommend it, plus it's FREE!"
It has a simplistic and easy to navigate platform. You can use your Facebook and Twitter accounts to view your news feeds. It features multiple different interests for anyone! The main fact is that you're gaining a great app for FREE!
I believe that there are a lot of improvements to gain, such as possibly adding more pages. I found an issue with trying to delete an article without deleting one after another to delete the article I wanted deleted. It doesn't always follow much of you're Facebook and Twitter news feeds; I definitely recommend to keep your Twitter and Facebook apps.
It might have a few bugs on it, but I definitely recommend it! The app is FREE! Everyone enjoys free things. It's a great app to have and I really enjoy it and I do hope there are better updates for it later!

Karen Gillan's Movie Project Needs a 'Happy Ending'
By A Real Person on June 18, 2012
How many times have you watched a movie and wondered how it got made? Here's an opportunity to contribute toward making a movie a reality: Karen Gillan, Amy Pond herself, is starring in the film "Not Another Happy Ending," and there are just under two days left to contribute via IndieAGoGo to make it a reality.
In the romantic comedy, Gillan plays a writer trying to finish a book project while battling writer's block caused by her feelings for her publisher, whose business will fail unless he can publish Jane's book and who, in turn is trying to break Jane of her writer's block by making her miserable while battling his own attraction to her.
Personally, I would love to see Karen in this role; We know she has a great comedic flair from her work on Doctor Who, and it would be great to see a well-written and well-acted romantic comedy. (And there's no such thing as too much Karen Gillan) Go here to find out more and donate, but you have to act fast: The project closes on Tuesday, June 19th at 11:59p Pacific. The donation bonuses range from a thank-you digital postcard for $10 to an iPhone skin for $30, a laptop or iPad skin for $65, an autographed photo of Karen for $70, a signed poster for $100, a tour of Glasgow and tea with the director (airfare not included) for $200, and more, all the way to either getting a contributor credit in the finished product or one of Karen Gillan's outfits from the movie for a $1,000 donation.
Follow me on twitter: @dihard11
Any idea how to offer her film professional services? I'm LA-based & work in post production. Would lend my work for not much more than the pleasure of getting to work on it.
Too bad they don't offer a way, for any price to SEE THE MOVIE. Huh? I suspect they'd get more funds that way and I asked them why. Just seems weird to fund a creative project and not get to see the results.
Dave–movies are made by getting investments up front to fund production/post-production/marketing & distribution. Ticket sales are to recoup the investment and hopefully make a profit. It makes perfect sense to donate money to a low-budget production that has people you're a fan of to help get the film made. Sites like Kickstarter & IndieAGoGo are great resources to do this. It allows fans to feel like they're a part of making it happen.
I know it feels like you're paying for the movie twice if you donate and then buy a ticket, but there won't be a chance to buy a ticket if enough people don't donate, because there won't be a film at all.
I'd think hearing more from Scottish Ira Glass would be reason enough to donate.

Subject | The French Revolution |
Publication date | 1791 |
Rights of Man (1791), a book by Thomas Paine, including 31 articles, posits that popular political revolution is permissible when a government does not safeguard the natural rights of its people. Using these points as a base it defends the French Revolution against Edmund Burke's attack in Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790).[1]
It was published in two parts in March 1791 and February 1792.[2]
Paine was a very strong supporter of the French Revolution that began in 1789; he visited France in 1790. Meanwhile conservative intellectual Edmund Burke's counterrevolutionary attack on the French Revolution, entitled Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) strongly appealed to the landed class and sold 30,000 copies.[3] Rights of Man was printed by Joseph Johnson for publication on 21 February 1791, then withdrawn for fear of prosecution.[3] J. S. Jordan stepped in and published it on 16 March.[3] The 90-000 word book appeared on 13 March, three weeks later than scheduled. It sold as many as one million copies and was, "eagerly read by reformers, Protestant dissenters, democrats, London craftsman, and the skilled factory-hands of the new industrial north."[4]
Paine argues that the interests of the monarch and his people are united, and insists that the French Revolution should be understood as one which attacks the despotic principles of the French monarchy, not the king himself, and he takes the Bastille to symbolise the despotism that had been overthrown.[3]
Human rights originate in Nature, thus, rights cannot be granted via political charter, because that implies that rights are legally revocable, hence, would be privileges:
It is a perversion of terms to say that a charter gives rights. It operates by a contrary effect — that of taking rights away. Rights are inherently in all the inhabitants; but charters, by annulling those rights, in the majority, leave the right, by exclusion, in the hands of a few... They... consequently are instruments of injustice ... The fact, therefore, must be that the individuals, themselves, each, in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a contract with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.
Government's sole purpose is safeguarding the family and their inherent, inalienable rights; each societal institution that does not benefit the nation is illegitimate — especially monarchy and aristocracy. The book's acumen derives from the Age of Enlightenment, especially from the Second Treatise of Government, by John Locke.[citation needed]
The fuller development of this position seems to have been worked out one night in France after an evening spent with Thomas Jefferson, and possibly Lafayette, discussing a pamphlet by the Philadelphia conservative James Wilson on the proposed federal constitution.[3]
Principally, Rights of Man opposes the idea of hereditary government – the belief that dictatorial government is necessary, because of man's corrupt, essential nature. In Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) Edmund Burke says that true social stability arises if the nation's poor majority are governed by a minority of wealthy aristocrats, and that lawful inheritance of power (wealth, religious, governing) ensured the propriety of political power being the exclusive domain of the nation's élite social class – the nobility.
Rights of Man denounces Burke's assertion of the nobility's inherent hereditary wisdom; countering the implication that a nation has not a right to form a Government for governing itself. Paine refutes Burke's definition of Government as "a contrivance of human wisdom". Instead, Paine argues that Government is a contrivance of man, and it follows that hereditary succession and hereditary rights to govern cannot compose a Government – because the wisdom to govern cannot be inherited.
According to Mark Philp, "In many respects Rights of Man is a disordered mix of narrative, principled argument, and rhetorical appeal—betraying the composite materials Paine used and the speed with which it was composed."[3]
It was quickly reprinted and widely circulated, with copies being read aloud in inns and coffee houses, so that by May some 50,000 copies were said to be in circulation."[3] Of the 300 or more pamphlets which the revolution controversy spawned, Rights of Man was the first seriously to damage Burke's case and to restore credit to the French both in Britain and America."[3]
The publication of Rights of Man caused a furore in England; Thomas Paine was tried in absentia, and convicted for seditious libel against the Crown, but was unavailable for hanging, being in France and never returning to England.
Thomas Paine was not the only advocate of the rights of man or the only author of a work titled Rights of Man. The working-class radical, Thomas Spence, is amongst the first, in England, to use the phrase as a title. His 1775 lecture, usually titled The Rights of Man, and his later The Rights of Infants, offer a proto-Geoist take on political philosophy mirroring Paine's work Agrarian Justice.[5]
Paine's visionary two-part call for republicanism and social welfare was generations ahead of its time when published in 1791.[2]

This is really in the same spirit of the Agile Manifesto principle, "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" and "Working software over comprehensive documentation."
We hate documentation when it's done in isolation, when it's costly, when it means less discussion between team members. This is a point I make a lot when I speak to people about design. The goal should be to discuss ideas, make decisions based on discussion, and to favor discussion over huge decks of documentation.
A lot of people don't want to work with specs. I like to work with people to solve a problem, and in an iterative design, the point is to use sketching to figure out the design you're going to work on.
In a perfect world, we'd all have extra sensory perception and communicate telepathically what we imagine. But we don't have that, so we rely on talking to each other, and explaining with pictures and models, doing what's necessary to find the idea that works—focus on talking to each other and getting to some consensus fast.
