End of the Industrial Age
Researcher and explorer in alternative realities John Michael Greer discussed his new work exploring the decline and fall of the Industrial Age and what it means to our future. According to Greer, the end of our civilization will be a gradual process and "within 100 to 300 years there are not going to be industrial products available anywhere on the planet." The cause, he believes, is our dependence on oil.As evidence, Greer cited the destruction of the Mayans, which he said came about because they had based their civilization on a non-renewable resource -- fertile soil. After they reached what he termed "peak corn," production declined and along with it the Mayan civilization. Our petroleum-based economy makes us just as vulnerable as the Mayans, according to Greer. Even many of our alternative energy sources are dependent on petroleum, he explained, noting that a "huge flood of oil [pours] into each solar cell."As the oil runs out, Greer expects populations to contrac ...

Inga Peulich, State Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region is encouraging City of Greater Dandenong businesses and communities to have their say about Victoria's state of waste, following the release of the Waste Policy Review discussion paper yesterday.
"Last year the Victorian Auditor-General released a damning report into the former Labor Government's mismanagement of waste in Victoria," Ms Peulich said.
"I want to ensure the City of Greater Dandenong has the optimal policy settings needed to secure the best environmental and economic outcomes from our waste management systems."
"The Waste Policy Review will examine the strategic, legislative, institutional and investment settings that influence the nature and performance of waste management in Victoria," Ms Peulich said.
"Responses to the discussion paper will be accepted until 3 May 2012".
Ryan Smith, Minister for Environment and Climate Change, said he had instructed the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), in partnership with environment portfolio agencies including the Environment Protection Authority, Sustainability Victoria, Metropolitan Waste Management Group and Regional Waste Management Groups to undertake a review of Victorian waste policy.
"As Victoria continues to grow and sustainability remains a key focus, it is essential we take the initiative to re-think what we regard as waste as well as the potential for its treatment recovery," Mr Smith said.
"Input from industry, community and stakeholders is integral to ensuring we explore all options to manage the challenges and grow the opportunities, like organics recovery."
Ahead of a stakeholder engagement program across the state in early 2012, DSE has released a discussion paper to kick-start the dialogue. A summary paper from the close-out of Victorian Advanced Resource Recovery Initiative (VARRI) highlights the findings, insights, methods of analysis and gaps and is now available on the DSE website.

Last year against Georgia, the day after the game, the pain for Max Smith was so bad, he couldn't raise his arm.
"No, it doesn't need to have surgery," says Joker. "We'll take a look at it after the season and figure it out. He could have surgery, but he doesn't need to have surgery."
You work so hard to get to this point, then an AC joint in your shoulder messes up your plans. Max wasn't happy with the way he threw the ball in practice on Monday, because he wasn't the same old Max.
"I felt like I threw it pretty well," says Max. "It was painful. Maybe I wasn't able to snap on some balls like I wanted to. I made every throw but, a little bit inaccurate, but I'll be alright."
You can never question the toughness of Max. For most of us, picking up a fork or a spoon with a separated shoulder sounds like it would not be fun. Try whipping your arm and shoulder to throw the ball 40 yards with this kind of problem. And you can't rest it because if it's Saturday there is another game. So after practicing on Monday.
"I was a little bit sore, but it wasn't too bad," says UK's quarterback. "I have a separated shoulder so, it's painful."
Dealing with pain in Max's shoulder is something he's going to have to live with for the rest of the season. Since he didn't practice on Tuesday, Jalen Whitlow took the throws with the first team. It wasn't pretty.
"It was practice," says Joker. "It wasn't gawd-awful. He made some throws."
"It wasn't my best but that's why you practice I guess," says the freshman quarterback from Alabama. "I'm not really struggling with anything, just keep learning the plays and learning the protection plays and things like that."
When Max practices, Joker admits it's a different team because the wide outs know they are getting the ball.
The Max watch continues.

Smart Growth Streets and Emergency Response
A fundamental aspect of smart growth development is the design of the street network. To make roads safe and inviting for pedestrians, cyclists, and other users, smart growth street design uses narrower widths, tighter turning radii, better connections between streets, and street trees, sidewalks, and on-street parking. Narrower streets can also help communities protect water quality by reducing stormwater runoff.
However, in many places across the country, as developers and city officials try to design these types of street systems, they are finding that local fire and emergency response officials may not approve them because of minimum street clearance requirements in their local or state codes. In many communities, minimum clearance requirements have been developed and adopted to ensure unobstructed access and easy maneuverability for emergency response vehicles. In some instances, communities have been unable to move forward with smart growth plans because of these codes and the concerns of emergency responders who believe that narrower streets undermine their ability to ensure timely and responsive service.
EPA is working on finding ways to reconcile these competing goals, in part by working closely with firefighters to highlight the benefits that these street networks provide in improved community health and safety. Research has shown that narrower streets in a highly connected neighborhood network provide health benefits by increasing pedestrian activity. Narrow streets are also safer as they naturally cue drivers to slow down, thereby reducing the severity of injuries and increasing the chances of survival for victims of crashes when they do occur. Increased connectivity of streets also provides emergency responders with redundancy in access, offering multiple options for getting to an emergency call, thereby improving their ability to respond to fires and other emergencies. A highly connected street network often means that emergency responders have a shorter physical distance to travel, compared to systems dominated by cul-de-sacs. In an era where the majority of emergency response calls are for medical events, not fire, these access improvements can significantly enhance the community's overall health and safety.
Many of these findings are the result of a partnership between EPA, the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU), and local firefighters from across the country that began in January 2008. These findings and other and other results from the first year of the partnership are summarized in a report issued by CNU in May 2009, Saving Lives, Time, Money: Building Better Streets (PDF) (9 pp, 955K).
CNU's Emergency Response and Street Design has more information about the project, and links to emerging research findings on these issues.
Many other resources exist on this topic, in part supported by EPA's previous collaboration with the Local Government Commission (LGC).

What do you do when a student discovers then reports a serious vulnerability in your school's network — so serious that it could potentially give access to students' social security numbers, home addresses, phone numbers, class schedules and every other bit of information that a school would have on its students? Why, you expel him for "unprofessional conduct" of course.
This is what happened to Hamed Al-Khabaz, a computer science student at Dawson College in Montreal. He came across this security hole, reportedly due to the "sloppy coding" in the school's network. As for why he was anywhere near the code anyway? He and his friend were innocently working on an app that would provide students mobile access to their school data — something nobody would be surprised a computer science student would be doing, don't you think?
Hamed reported this straight to the school's Director of Information Services and Technology. All seemed fine, and Hamed was told that Skytech, the company behind the software, would work on it right away. After not hearing from them for a few days, he decided to check on the vulnerability via a program called Acunetix.
Skytech contacted Hamed immediately, saying that because the security scan he performed on the system was used before notifying their system administrator, it could have caused some serious problems. They also said that it was the second time in a few days that they detected him on their systems.
Here's where it gets ugly: Hamed signed a ND (non-disclosure), agreeing not to discuss the case. But despite that, the faculty at Dawson college decided to take a vote on whether or not expel him or not for "unprofessional conduct." What makes it even more disgusting is the fact that Skytech acknowledges that Hamed had no "malicious intent" when he did what he did.
14 out of 15 professors voted to expel him.
Hamed's grades have been zeroed, he was expelled and now has a record of unprofessional conduct. All for trying to help out, and checking on the situation after? It makes sense that he maybe should have notified them before performing a scan — but to expel him when you know he meant no harm? That makes no sense. Maybe they're trying to put the blame of the security vulnerability on him. Who knows.
If you wanna help Hamed, you can sign an online petition at the link below.

No matter what happened, especially since he didn't have any bad intensions, I think the punishment was way too harsh. :( hope the college takes him back.
I need to give a bit of history of Dawson College so everyone can get a bit more perspective. A number of years ago, Dawson College was the scene of an on-campus shooting. I don't remember the full details but I believe it happened at the same time of the Virginia Tech shootings with many students also getting shot and killed. When something like that happening, college administrators are criticized for under-reacting before such an incident and tend to over-react to other incidences. This might be a case where the administers are acting swiftly to head off any potential trouble.
@Ashraf: Just a minor point and i think that will be it for me on this subject. You wrote: "Dawson kicking him out could be a face saving move, or maybe trying to appease some organization. Is that necessarily SkyTech? Possibly, but if they offered him a job, I doubt it."
As i somewhat cynically noted above, the job offer could simply be a smart PR move with little expectation of him taking them up on the offer, since he might worry that the first chance they get they'll let him go or, more likely, will be slow at promoting him. It might not be a crafty PR move and Skytech has nothing but good intentions, but either way it has the effect of putting them in a better light while at the same time helping to dispel any suspicions that they may have worked behind the scenes to see that he was punished.
I totally disagree with you that "there is no clear black and white boundary as to what exactly he was expelled for."
You have read the expulsion letter and its very clearly stated that Ahmed "injected SQL code" again into the system a month later after the college system was fixed by SkyTech (you know that SQL injection is a technique used by hackers to attack databases through a website). Ahmed received heads up not to do it again, but he recklessly ignored the professional warning. This was the precise black & white boundary which he intentionally crossed.
"It was written as a catchy headline for a reason — to get people to read the article."
I think there is no need to give any article the misleading headline just in order to catch someone's attention. BTW, the entire article is one-sided and biased, too.
Let's keep in mind: this is a school. Couldn't it educate the student, rather than expel him?
I know many people will not believe yahoo news so here is another link to CTV News. A National broadcaster in Canada. This includes a link to a video interview with the student himself.
@Ashraf: Good points. I agree with most of what you wrote, though i disagree with how he followed up on the problem without apparently letting anyone know what he was doing. But even so, if it's true that Dawson encouraged him to investigate the problem, then i can't for the life of me figure out why they would go after him so hard unless they just had it in for the kid for some unfathomable reason.
The only thing i can come up with (after putting on my tin-foil hat) is that perhaps Dawson worried, or was explicitly told, that Skytech was ticked off at having their nose rubbed in it by a college student and therefore putting at riskt what may have been a very mutually beneficial relationship (such as if Skytech routinely hired graduates from Dawson) — a relationship that they feared could be irreparably harmed unless they gave Hamad the boot. That too could explain why the computer science department recommended his expulsion, offering him up as a sort of sacrificial lamb since they would have the most to lose if the Skytech pipeline suddenly dried up.
But that's just me grasping at straws. In the end it comes down to whether Hamad had permission to do what he did. If he didn't, then i think the college was within its rights to do what they did, even if it seems drastic. We'll probably never know for sure what really happened.
In any event, per AT's post it looks like Hamad is going to come out of this in great shape with companies lining up to hire him. Funnily enough it even mentions that Skytech may have offered him a job, which cynically speaking is probably nothing more than a good PR move.
Here's a bit of a follow up to the story. He has been offered a job by several companies.
@Ashraf: I agree that the punishment seems hard, but i can imagine roughly equivalent non-computing scenarios where the same outcome would occur and most people would concur that he should have been kicked out.
This isn't a perfect analogy but let's say a student is really good at picking locks and so forth. So he happens to be fiddling around an area on campus where students shouldn't be, an area which houses confidential information, and while mucking about he discovers a way that a thief could potentially break in. He reports this to a school official who says "okay, well on the one hand, thank you for alerting us to this potential problem, but you had no business being there. We'll turn this matter over to campus security. THEY will fix the problem and YOU will steer clear of that area from now on. Understood?" "Yeah, okay".
A few days later he stealthily returns, again fiddling around with security mechanisms. Eventually he is caught in the act.
So how would such a situation be handled? My guess is the student would be summarily kicked out and most people would feel he had it coming. Not only for returning to a place he knew he shouldn't go anywhere near, and thus essentially declaring that rules which normal students must follow don't apply to a security whiz like himself, but also for gravely disrespecting the professionals who were tasked to take care of the problem. Not to mention potentially disrupting whatever new measures they were putting into place.In such a scenario, which i don't think is too far off base, it could even be argued that he got off easy, for the college could just as easily have turned the matter over to the police.
@Ashraf: I'm not here to come to the defense of Dawson College per se, but just to point out that so far most people on the net have only heard one side of the story. Too often i've seen stories where one's first reaction is "how could such educated and supposedly mature people (in this case the professors who voted to expel) do such a stupid thing which could only serve to make them look bad!?"….but later as more details come out almost invariably the situation suddenly doesn't seem as full of folly as it did initially.
In regards to Mark's post where it mentions that the recommendation came from the Computer Science Department, to me that puts things in a new light since they presumably would be in the best position to know when a fellow computer geek crosses the line. And, at least if Dawson is to be believed, he had been warned before about this sort of behavior and yet continued to cross the line.
Here is the Dawson College's expulsion letter dated 11/14/12:
http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/560325/pages/al-khabaz-expulsion-revised-p1-normal.gifAccording to Skytech (the company what fixed the flaw in the Dawson College system), Al-Khabaz looked to test if the flaw had been "indeed" fixed by Skytech, by probing the system with a vulnerability toolkit called Acunetix. This type of software should never be used without the Prior Permission of the System Administrator, because it can cause a system to crash and could be considered as a cyber attack. Al-Khabaz used it without prior permission and he admitted his unauthorized action.
So he was not expelled from the college, "because he reported a security problem to officials."
I suppose they are right when they say they can't get into specifics.
On their homepage (http://www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/home) they say this: "Despite receiving clear directives not to, he attempted repeatedly to intrude into areas of College information systems that had no relation with student information systems."
"The College followed its regular processes to investigate the situation and to proceed with sanctions against Mr. Al-Khabaz, on the recommendation of the Computer Science Department, giving him the opportunity to plead his case with the Dean and the Department Chair and to avail himself of appeal processes."
Nothing to do with "unprofessional conduct", if you ask me, just coming down hard on a disciplinary issue. If they'd told him before he can't bring peace to the world and feed the hungry and he had tried again anyway, they would have thrown him out just as quickly.
That sort of mindset won't be impressed by that petition in the least, I'm afraid. Good luck to him anyway!
I searched around and here is what the college has to say: Dawson College Statement
The key paragraph is this one:
"In the recent case of Ahmed Al-Khabaz, which he himself brought to the media, the College stands by its decision. The reasons cited in the National Post article for which the student says he was expelled are inaccurate. The process which leads to expulsion includes a step in which a student is issued an advisory to cease and desist the activities for which he or she is being sanctioned, particularly in the area of professional code of conduct. Conditions for remaining in the College on good terms are clearly explained in person to the student." -
Why are authorities so quick to condemn (and in a school, no less)? At the most, the student should have been told, don't do that again; on the other end, he should have been given a stipend and a position in the IS Dept.
We're talking about Dawson here… this school will do anything to protect their image including lie,cheat and steal.
It's disgusting and I'm glad that the Dawson union got involved in helping this kid.
The kid does exactly like me I see a problem I report it a week later I re-check if it's been fix to give more hell to the people I warned. Done this on many sites and I'm happy to say that theses websites appreciate the bug fixes.
From dumb ordering systems to open folders if your business tries hard I'll be damn sure to help… should you not care well I'm one of the nice ones and there are others who will gladly destroy you.
So good luck to him… it's about time theses companies start thinking about the people and not always money.
Respectfully, it sounds like we're mostly only getting his side of the story in that we haven't heard from the professors why they voted the way they did. I mean, are 14 out of 15 professors totally corrupt and/or stupid?
Also, there is no maybe about it. He certainly should have notified Skytech that he was going to run a security check on his own. Perhaps he was told not to go anywhere near the security system again, to leave everything to Skytech, yet he did it anyway and this is why the college felt he deserved to be expelled.
Further, we don't know if he had gotten into trouble before at the college and so this may have been a "last straw" type of situation.

IMPORTANT NOTES, EVENTS AND WARNINGS: Edit 1: Whenever I come by this thread, I read every single post - do not get discouraged if you think I didn't reply to yours, simply check the previous page for the reply, things tend to get a little bit cluttered. Edit 2: The Steward's office is a magical place, able to distort space and time - that means each person/champion can't interfere with another's post. Sorry if you think this limited, but it makes things much easier if I can interact and address each person uniquely and separated from the rest. Edit 3: I think a good advice is to bookmark the page where you posted your reply and then check back on that page for my reply - this thread has so much activity, there's a chance it will be drowned out by other people's posts. Edit 4: 05-14-2013 - Shandora will have to go on hiatus for the sake of school - please refer to this post HERE for for information, as well as the post list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Close to the heart of the Institute of War, there is a long hallway with no obvious doors leading anywhere. As you keep walking along, you finally notice the outline of a seemingly-concealed door. A brass plate engraved with the words 'SENIOR STEWARD'S OFFICE' is affixed in the middle of the door, with a small, almost unnoticeable door knob further below it. Should you decide to turn the door knob and open the door, you would be greeted with the homely atmosphere of a peach-colored room, the walls tastefully adorned with landscape paintings of locations from all over Valoran. In the middle of the spacy room stands a modest but imposing cherry wood desk, covered with stacks of neatly-filed papers, folders and all kinds of writing instruments, from iron styluses and pencils to feathered quills and ink wells. A fair-haired summoner is sitting at the desk on a purple-cushioned, high-backed chair, seeming absorbed by the paper in front of her, nervously tapping the pen on the wooden surface. She slightly lifts her head from the paper, seeming aware that the door had opened, but her eyes are practically glued to the report in front of her. Standing in front of the desk are two chairs with a small yordle-sized stool between them that could be easily (and was) confused for a footrest by many people. On the left of the desk is a great velvet couch standing between a cupboard with a plate of treats on it and a massive book-case with all kinds of scrolls, books and files. Mounted on the wall directly above the couch is a master-crafted demacian rapier resting in its sheath. On the right side is a big, wide-opened window, the sill barely noticeable underneath the cascading vines of the potted plants. The flowers themselves are in their bloom, the buds spreading their petals wide open in a show of vividly bright colors. A weak breeze carries the strong scent towards the door, an awfully sweet and intoxicating perfume making your nose crinkle. Buzzing around are a couple of blue hummingbirds, happily chirping as they enjoy the sweet nectar the flowers offer. You catch a slight movement on the wall directly behind the desk where the steward is working. A keen eye would notice after a while that with each current of air, a portion of the wall seems to shudder, only to realize that it is, in fact, a drape of the same peachy color of the room, concealing what seems to be an entrance. Where it leads is open to speculation. Tybresa lifts her gaze to the entrance and promptly stands up, smiling warmly. She steps around her desk and stands beside it, neatly folding her hands in front of her as she speaks in a welcoming tone. Greetings and be welcome to my office, champions and summoners. I am Steward Tybresa Farrister-Cassalantar - should you have any issues, personal requests, inquiries about the League or simply wish to speak to me, then I am at your service. You can rest assured, whatever is discussed in my office will not be spread out within the Institute - as a steward, it is my duty to act as confidante to everyone, whether they are champion or summoner, and to act as advocate in order to protect their interests as best as possible. She crosses her arms to her chest. Of course, I would expect that you come to me with no violent intentions - I will not hesitate to use the Bubble to contain any trouble makers and condemn them to a week's worth of cleaning the Institute's toilets and tending to the Cafeteria's kitchens. she raises her eyebrow. That doesn't sound too appealing, does it? You have been warned. She chuckles lightly and props one hand on the desk while the other rests on her hip. Now, with what could I assist you with? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 03-03-2013: And here it is - goodness knows I've been dying to do something like this for a while now. I made this thread for those who are interested in a more engaging RP-interaction - those who saw my posts will know that I like to write very detailed and answer every point asked while still developing ways to further lengthen interactions in a pleasant matter, granted if you wish to take hold of the hint. While I tried to cover as much ground as possible with the introduction scene I wrote, the only unsaid rule I would have to mention is to be respectful - no flaming, no bashing, no drama. Nobody wants that, especially I. As for the whole steward concept, I came up with the idea of special individuals appointed by the High Council that are supposed to handle the internal maintenance of the Institute of War - because let's face it, you won't see a High Councilor trying to break apart a cat fight between yordles, give the newly-induced apprentices a tour around the building or helping Champion X decorate his/her/it's office. So basically, Stewards handle the day-to-day business within the League. Now, if you have any questions about things that strike you as odd, feel free to ask me in OOC or even better, turn it into an excuse to enter the Steward's chambers. As closing words ... well, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I will. And know that I have a tendency of throwing links with visual representations of various things that catch my eyes - it makes things more interesting. DISCLAIMER: None of the linked materials are mine. Except for the summoner profile, which does belong to me. Have fun! :3 )) 03-23-2013: On an off-note, I want to thank everyone who participated - in 3 weeks I now have 64 pages.My little baby is quite the popular person, and I feel very flattered. <3 Great people in this community, I'm glad to be a part of this. 04-28-2013: 100 pages! Thank you -everyone- for participating, gosh I <3 you all! Check this thread HERE for information on the surprise I have in store for the community for helping me reach this milestone. 05-14-2013: More information on the Stewards HERE.
Ask the String
Sona glides into the summoner's room, her melodies filled the air as normal. She noticed the room seemed rather clean and well decorated. She approaches Tybresa with her usual smile. ♪Hello there, miss, ♪ Her song started, ♪I've been quite curious, what is it like to summon us onto the fields? Do you guys see and feel what we do, or are you more like overseers looking over everything from afar?"
Tybresa stands up from her desk and curtsies politely in front of the Maven, smiling warmly. Greetings, champion - please, do not worry about formalities, you may simply address me as Steward. She thoughtfully taps her lower lip with her index finger. Ah, yes, that does seem like the question of the century, does it not? You are not the first to inquire about this, Sona, and I am quite certain that never the last. She chuckles bemusedly. Now, while I am not allowed to divulge the exact methods of our summoning techniques to champions - Institute protocol, I hope you understand - I can, however, tell you that by summoning you champions on the Fields of Justice, we become the most powerful while still the weakest. Powerful, for we merge our conscience with the chosen champion, which leads to us being able to coordinate your potentials to unique displays of strength and skill. But this bond is not one-sided, though - we also extend our own signature powers to the champions when they find themselves on Fields of Justice. Surely you have experienced moving from one distant point to another in a flash, or feeling the wounds suffered from the enemy become less serious under a restorative spell. She smirks. But this also renders us weak should someone would try to harm us when we are channeling the summoning ritual - it is impossible to break the bond unless the energy of a broken Nexus Crystal releases us. In the worst possible cases, when a summoner -does- breaks the bond prematurely, it is usually because of the body succumbing - this does not necessarily mean that he was killed, though - it could also mean that his brain had shut down because of exhaustion. Tybresa ponders on this for a moment. It has come to my attention that these occurrences happen far more often that they should - I believe the High Council would have to reinforce stricter rules regarding resting times. She props her hands on the desk's surface, leaning slightly forward. As for your second inquiry, we do see and feel what you do, but as you said it yourself, only from afar, like overseers. The summoning ritual has been researched on and tested countless of times, but this is the best the High Council could do. And in the end, it does seem to be the best solution - after all, we are given a bigger tactical perspective over the chosen battlefield. Does my answer satisfy your curiosity, Maven? She looks at Sona kindly.
Ask Nami
Nami was wandering around the institute when she stumbled upon the door, reading the sign she raised a brow "Hmm, never saw this here before..." She knocked politely before opening the door and peaking in. "Hello?"
Tybresa tilts her head as she smiles encouragingly at Nami, chuckling softly. She cannot help but compare Nami with a lost little puppy - or fish. Don't worry about it, Nami - my office door is always open, no matter what you need or don't need. You can always come to me whenever you have questions, you know - I'm a Steward, and stewards are some of your best friends within the Institute. And I'm not just saying that. she chuckles. You are not the first one to be overwhelmed by the Institute's size, Nami - it does take a while to get used to the inner patterns of the hallways ... and since you are used to a different orientation perspective - considering you lived underwater for your whole life - it makes it even harder, I reckon. She tilts her head. I could draw you a map, if you want - would that help you? I would be willing to give you a tour as well.
Tybresa glances behind her at the sheets of paperwork strewn on her desk. She turns to look at Nami, smiling warmly as she dismissively waves her hand. Ah, you do not have to worry about that - I am already ahead in the work quota anyway. Besides, I would always prioritize a champion in need that a pile of papers! she lets out a hearty chuckle, trying very hard to make Nami as comfortable as possible. I am sorry to hear about your champion tour - I will make sure to see that the Steward who had you in his care will be sanctioned for his poor performance. She extends her hand at Nami. I feel that the only way to make up for that is by offering to be your tour guide this time. she smiles sympathetically. I understand, it must be quite tiresome to keep that aquatic wave underneath you for long periods of movement ... I will consider coming up with an improvisation to make it more easier for you to travel, if you would wish... Of course, your problems would be solved with the apparition of the Moonstone ... she lets out a small sigh. I talked to Ezreal about it, but he didn't have anything for me other than making me worry about him and Ryze on their underwater exploration. I am truly sorry, Nami - I do feel quite helpless. If it is any consolation, I will keep a keen eye out for anything I might find regarding this mystical stone.
Valorans Outlaw
Miss Tybresa, What do you fear most for going wrong, as a summoner? -Jayce


text: Daylight Saving Time Change May Increase Workplace Injuries By Roy Maurer 2/27/2013 Permissions The loss of sleep brought on by the daylight saving time change may increase workplace accidents and injuries, according to researchers. At 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2013, most people across the United States set their clocks forward one hour to start daylight saving time (DST), so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically, clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. Organizations have developed protocols for dealing with the technological requirements of the time shift, such as adjusting the time in their computer systems and time clocks. However, many employers should be aware of the potential effects on safety caused by the start of DST. Increase in Workplace Injuries The National Sleep Foundation states that it will take most people a few days to adjust to the loss of one hour of sleep. According to a 2009 study published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, losing just an hour of sleep could pose dangerous consequences for those in hazardous work environments. Using U.S. Department of Labor and Mine Safety and Health Administration data, the study found that the DST switch resulted in U.S. workers getting 40 minutes less sleep, a 5.7 percent increase in workplace injuries and nearly 68 percent more workdays lost to injuries. "We contend that the springtime change is associated with an increase in the number and severity of workplace accidents, especially for those engaged in jobs requiring a high level of attention to detail," the authors said in a statement. "Studies have shown that lost sleep causes attention levels to drop off." Awareness of the increased safety risk may cause employees to exercise extra caution and avoid potentially dangerous accidents and injuries. The sleep-safety link has led some industries, such as trucking and airlines, to regulate limits on the consecutive hours that truckers can drive or crews can fly without taking a break.

Famous Aries
From the Book of Aries The sign of Aries is also the living 90 degree square, an aspect of tension and stress-- and instant release. The difficulties at the beginning are the requisite calisthenics that build confidence and strength for the battle. Aries does it for the journey, as well as the payoff. The male Aries is a natural hero, or a cad, he will fight under any banner so long as it suits his needs, and fulfills his appetites. This male Aries is the relentless warrior that Jason himself couldn't vanquish because every time he threw him to the ground, he would rise again, stronger still. Jason finally won when he held Aries above his head-- Aries was no longer able to draw sustenance from the Earth. In Greek mythology, this was the only time that Aries has ever been beaten, because the Aries style of savage, full-on attack only works when Aries has the element of surprise." |
April 19-May 13 Aries is Athena, the female warrior. To deny her the glory of victory, and her gender equality with men, the Greeks and Romans changed her sign to a ram. Aries females may grow up being resentful of male patriarchy and patronage. The male Aries will make risky leaps of faith with only the slightest provocation. Aries rule the head, since they use it as a battering ram.
ABUSE AN ARIES Fight fire with fire Aries Factoid: Pity from an Aries is worse than their hatred. It's not easy to repopulate your stomach with the same high quality bacteria that your mother gave you, either. Only whole grains can provide the ideal gruel Aries need, so, providing them with whole grains every day can give them a clean, steady burn, and not the explosive, short-term type that is very unhealthy, If Aries really want to treat their stomach right, start every meal with a cup of freshly made, miso soup. |

Drumwright honored by Henricus
George T. Drumwright, Jr. may have retired from his position as deputy county manager for Henrico. But on Sept. 14, Drumwright's friends at Henricus Historical Park let him know emphatically that he will not be allowed to retire from his role as a Henricus Foundation board member and long-time volunteer. At a reception honoring Drumwright and celebrating the opening of 2012 Publick Days, friends, family, colleagues and fellow members of the Henricus Foundation Board of Trustees gathered to dedicate the Drumwright Education Fund, a component of the Henricus Annual Fund that will enable the Foundation to expand interactive history program offerings for students. Drumwright's colleagues also presented him with gifts and mementos, and spoke at length about his 25 years of contributions to the park. Henricus Executive Director Charles Lewis Grant pointed out that when Drumwright first became involved, the park was just a place "covered in vines." Today, Henricus boasts a dozen re-created colonial structures, including a hospital, parsonage, tobacco barn and planter's house. "But it's not just about the buildings," emphasized John Siddall, chairman of the Henricus Foundation. "It's about the 25,000 schoolchildren that come through here every year." And the Drumwright Education Fund, added Grant, will help students from the most disadvantaged schools gain access to park programs. "If they can't get here," said Grant, "we go to them." Jurisdictional cooperation Siddall, who led off his remarks by telling Drumwright, "The first thing I want to say is you are not retiring from here," also praised Drumwright's role in supporting the partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico counties that has helped made the park so successful. Through a fluke of history, said Siddall, both counties own land in Henricus -- even though today's park lies south of the James River in what is technically Chesterfield. During the Civil War, Union troops began digging a new channel near the James so they could bypass Confederate fortifications that blocked approaches to Richmond. The new channel, completed after the war, left a part of Henrico across the river — surrounded by water. "Because of this, we benefit," said Siddall, "and not only because we have this beautiful bluff. We also benefit from a great partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico; we get the support of both counties." Ken Perry, former chairman of the board, noted that Drumwright had first visited the site in 1977. "I visited this site in 1985," said Perry, "and we both saw the same things: a bunch of trees and a beautiful river view." He and Drumwright worked together on the board for 15 years, said Perry, during which the jurisdictional cooperation was "marvelous." 'He knew every inch' Dorothy Jaeckle, vice chairman of the board, recalled that when first elected to the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, she was taken aback by the number of boards on which she was expected to serve, and overwhelmed by the steep learning curve required to learn about the various organizations. Appointed to the Henricus board because the park was in her district, Jaeckle said that joining a board with Drumwright only magnified her feelings of inadequacy. "George was the one," she said, "who took the sickle and cleared the way in [to the historical area]. He knew every last inch of this place." But her feelings of inadequacy were soon eased, said Jaeckle, because Drumwright was so clearly passionate about the park, and made it clear that he wanted only to share his knowledge of it with others. Chesterfield County Manager Jay Stegmaier, noting that Henricus was recently named the best park in Central Virginia by readers of Richmond.com, credited Drumwright with being one of the key players that helped the park succeed. "You've become an icon for Central Virginia," Stegmaier told Drumwright, jokingly inviting him to use a sword to carve his initials in a tree on the site. "[Henricus] is a treasure for Chesterfield and Henrico County, and it's rapidly becoming a treasure for the entire country." "And," added Stegmaier, echoing the previous speakers, "we're not going to let you totally retire." A radiant light In thanking his colleagues for gifts that included colonial-era replicas of a hat and a lantern, Drumwright cited "huge support" from the community as his inspiration, and noted that like the lantern, Henricus had blossomed from a tiny spark of a concept into a radiant light. Only days before, said Drumwright, students visiting the park from Lucille Brown Middle School had been using a newly re-created platform overlooking the bluff to calculate the trajectory of cannon fire needed to bridge the river – demonstrating just one of the unique hands-on lessons that the park provides to schoolchildren. Upon being presented with a sword, Drumwright reminisced about his first job in Norfolk, during which he occasionally perched on the rails of a replica ship and played the role of pirate. "We used to break these swords once a week," he said, "fighting each other." Everything a miracle As the celebration moved into the dinner-and-music phase – featuring favorite Drumwright band Steve Bassett and Friends – incoming Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas read a letter from Tuckahoe Supervisor and fellow Henricus board member Pat O'Bannon, who could not be present at the celebration. Addressing Drumwright, O'Bannon wrote, "Before Google, George, we had you to ask for answers. Now we can ask Google, but it's not nearly as good." Thanking Drumwright for serving as a mentor, O'Bannon went on to quote Albert Einstein, who once said, "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, and you can live as if everything is a miracle." "George," wrote O'Bannon,"lives his life as if everything is a miracle." Echoing O'Bannon's sentiment, Vithoulkas recalled visiting the undeveloped, overgrown future site of Henricus decades ago, when he worked under Stegmaier as a budget analyst. "It wasn't nearly what we've got here now," said Vithoulkas. "George, you've done a phenomenal job." For details about Henricus and the Drumwright Education Fund, visit http://henricus.org |

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.
Soak up the fun
'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.

The most volumizing mascara ever! Goes on very thick but does separate at the same time.

Eyes: Brown
This is one of my top 3 favorite mascaras! When I wore this for the first time, my brother asked me if I was wearing false lashes!(I have skinny, Asian lashes... I didn't even curl my lashes that day) There is a rose scent to the mascara but you can't really smell it unless you're putting the product on or intentionally smelling the mascara. The brush takes a little getting used to since it is in a very weird shape. My only complaint is that it smudges on me towards the end of the day(about 8 hours) but I do have SUPER oily eyelids! But with a lash primer it takes even longer to smudge. Overall great product!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
A huge let-down, especially considering the price - AU $52. I feel that I could get a much better result from a drug store mascara, for a quarter of what I paid.
My lashes are quite straight and sparse, but with the right mascara I can really make them stand out. This was not the right mascara.
The formula is INCREDIBLY wet - if you don't wipe off the ton of excess product on the brush, you end up with horrid clumps - my eyelashes actually resembled fat spider legs! I did get a much better effect if I wiped the brush - but then, it wasn't anything special; it made me look as if I only had 5 super long, thin lashes - and any more than a coat was a no-no. A lash comb is definitely essential if you're committed to using this mascara.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Best mascara ever if you look for more length and great volume. This is the best volumizing mascara I ever tried. With other volumizing mascaras I never get the big eyes I have like I have with this one.
But if you prefer neat, separated lashes, you should look for another mascara.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I like the mascaras formula it lengthens my eyelashes and alot of volume, but only when I use another mascara as a base. So not my favorite.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Goal: to volumize and lengthen my blonde, thin lashes.
- no transferring to upper eyelids (common problem for me)
- buildable volume and length
- very dramatic appearance
- fast drying
- smells like chemicals (apparently it is a "rose" scent but I think it's just awful) even my husband smelled it when we got in the car one night
- "S" shaped brush can be a bit difficult to use and get an even result. Would prefer a simpler shape!
Despite the smell and brush shape, this mascara still gives the best result - buildable volume and length! I will keep repurchasing. I wouldn't use this mascara unless you are going for a dramatic look. For a more natural appearance I would suggest Lancôme Doll Lashes.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
not too sure how i feel about this product. had a really nice smell, brush was good. however, if i decided to use more than 2 coats it would look great when i put on then a few hours later i would actually have parts of the mascara crumble off and sit under my eyes.
would probably still buy again though!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Desperately wanted to love this mascara as I had tested the original Hypnose in the past. The formula in it was far too much on the brush and made my lashes stick together, spider leg effect! Eeeek. It could be that I haven't used it enough to gain enough technique, so I will keep trying!
Having paid $60NZD on this mascara I am not going to give in easily! I will use it until every last bit is gone.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Grey
This mascara takes a bit of getting used to as the brush is quite an odd shape and if you don't use it properly your lashes end up looking clumpy and crap. However, once you get the hang of applying it, hello drama! When applying, the wide part of the brush should be flat against your lashes and as you sweep out, turn the brush down slightly so the narrow side can separate your lashes at the tips (I think there's a tutorial on the Lancome website to follow). Anyway, once I discovered the correct application method, I couldn't get over how good my lashes looked - really long, thick and dramatic! I wouldn't recommend using a curler with this product as for one it doesn't really need it but mainly, it would be much more difficult to apply.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair, Warm
Hair: Blond, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I was very excited to try this product as I had been told by many how good Hypnose mascara was. I picked up the Hypnose drama, as it was advertised as being 'volumising and lash enhancing'. I was quite dissapointed. The mascara was glittery, which was not advertised, and the mascara was not volumising or lash enhancing. I would try the Lancome mascara again, but perhaps go for the original Hypnose product.

Notes from Greece: An excerpt from my travel memoir.
Our house hunting advice comes from Mom, "Ask at the local market. If someone has a house to sell, they always discuss it with their grocer."
We begin our search in the village of Kalami where the owner of a grocery store tells us, "Yes I know of a place near here for sale, my neighbor is selling his house."
Shortly after we are introduced to a grinning round-faced man who shakes our hands enthusiastically. The grocer translates for the owner. "He says he is sorry. His mother has the house key and she is visiting his cousin in America. But not to worry, there is a way inside."
A ladder is dragged out and the owner gestures grandly for us to ascend. A pen of chickens squawk in distress as we climb towards the window of our possible future home.
All five of us (Mom, the two Greek men, John and I) wedge ourselves through the window to stand with some trepidation on creaking, cracked floorboards. The room is so small I suddenly feel like Alice in Wonderland after she took the pill that made her a giant.
It's like we have opened up a musty scrapbook, a fine layer of dust clings to every surface. A large wood chest, possibly a dowry, sits at the base of an iron bed. Above hangs a discolored photo of a young man and women dressed formally, he in a suit and she in a high collared gown. I wonder if this is their matrimonial bed.
There is no indoor plumbing, but the view makes up for the lack of pipe work. I hang my head out the window. A thick grove of olive trees runs downhill to a deep blue cove. Suddenly a pebble zooms by my head. The owner grins and points. Somewhere down there, in the trees where the pebble landed, the property line ends.
We look at a few more places. But in the end the one that most solidly captures our heart is a house owned by a Greek widow. She has put her nephew, Spiro, in charge of selling but he's too busy running his Italian restaurant to be bothered much with it.
The sole advertisement is an index card stapled to a telephone pole with the words, "house for sale" and Spiro's mobile telephone number. There is no address, so the person who stumbles across this card is left to guess which of the many deserted homes it might be referring to.
We park on the street and walk down a rocky path, careful to avoid the pitfalls of cat excrement decorously left here and there. When we come to a stone ruin with a floor of weeds and the sky as a roof, the path bends and we turn the corner to face a large, classic Venetian-style building. It's a simple, yet stately structure. Eroding cream colored plaster walls support a chipped red clay roof, and a few small windows with flaking green shutters line the upper floor.
It's common for homes in Greece to be divided among family members. This one is no exception, we discover that a wall inside splits the house into two sections. Although both sides are empty only one side is for sale. When we speak to Spiro he tells us it should be no problem to buy the other half. Apparently the owners are penniless and if they refuse, Spiro stops at this point to stuff a cigarette between his lips, "If they refuse, then just kill them!" A rakish laugh shudders through him.
En route to photo shoots I have the luxury of driving through a valley so breathtaking it forces me to pull off the road and whip out the camera. This spring Napa Valley unfurled one stunning scene after another, shifting dramatic focus.

I love this time of year, when nature paints herself out of summer with one last stroke of brilliance. A client asked me to capture some autumn photos. This forced me to take a closer look at the beautiful surroundings we are lucky enough to call home. Photos by Indra Fortney, copyright applies.

Apples from my backyard tree, which I refer to as the 'giving tree' since spring it has been producing buckets of apples.
A discovery at the end of a dirt road.
Pat Kuleto built a winery as a replacement to his home which burned down. kuleto is a self trained designer, builder, innkeeper, restaurant developer, and winemaker. This is a guy who at ten years of age built his play house resplendent with indoor plumbing! At eighteen he left home in a camper he had built and by the time he was just twenty eight, he had designed 60 restaurants.
The drive up to the winery, past Hennessy lake, is long and twisty, becoming more precarious once you enter the gate and head up the one lane driveway. Faced with oncoming vehicles the driveway gives you a chance to practice dexterous down-hill maneuvering. The reward is the vast vista atop the hill. I'm not a fan of the hand painted wooden signs, they smack of Knotts Berry Farm, but the overall rustic casual atmosphere feels like we have just driven over the border to a friends estate in Tuscany.
Photos below by Indra Fortney.
It's a little confusing as to where and when our tour begins, so we bumble about on our own finding ourselves upstairs in the kitchen. The cooks greet us like friends and encourage us to have a free roam of the place. The best down -to -earth touch is a friendly, tongue lagging chocolate brown lab who dissolves perfectly on a matching brown cracked leather sofa.
Finally our southern drawling wine host begins to pour. I love equally the soft fruity Rosato and the heavier warm, spicy Syrah. After tasting we take our picnic lunch to an outdoor table and enjoy the spectacular view while munching on bread and cheese. Wine tasting is by appointment only $35 per person, for more information you can call (707) 963-9750. At the time I wrote this their website was down.

When friends come to visit us in Napa valley, Calistoga Indian Springs is on the top of my list for a day of pampered relaxation. This natural hot springs resort has been operating since 1962, but the simple white cottages and gravel driveway feel more like a throw back to the 1940's. Photos by Napa resident Indra Fortney.
"Sam Brannan, one of California's earliest entrepreneurs, purchased the upper Napa Valley (all of it) in the 1860s, with a vision of creating a world-class resort. He built the original spa, mudbaths, pool and racetrack in 1861. In 1880, Leland Stanford purchased the resort with the intention of locating Stanford University here. Instead, he established Stanford in Palo Alto and the spa tradition continued as Sam Brannan had envisioned. In 1905, the Pacheteau family operated the property and renamed it Pacheteau Baths. It became a popular resort destination for Bay Area families for generations."

Give us a little background and interests of your life outside of PAMA.
I'm a professional musician. I play bass in a trio called Jazz vs. the Space Tiger and I give private instruction on bass, guitar, piano and drums. I also do freelance work as a bass player.
When did you originally start training at PAMA and how did you hear about the Academy?
I think I originally started in 2004, but I really wasn't focused so I took a few years off and returned in June of 2008. I learned about PAMA online. I wanted to train somewhere that was legitimate and after some research PAMA was the right choice.
What made you first interested in Martial Arts?
Every since I was about six years old and first discovered what karate was I knew that it was something I wanted to do.
What do you most enjoy about your training?
Everything really. The people, the workout, the euphoric feeling after class. It really keeps me in balance.
What are your goals you hope to achieve through martial arts?
Just to keep improving and growing.
In what ways has your training at PAMA permeated into other aspects of your life?
It helps me with music a lot. I draw from the methods and concepts Sifu shares with us and I apply it to my own teaching and practicing. It also makes playing gigs easier, a three hour gig seems like a cake walk compared to three classes back to back. And I'm a little less clumsy...that's a big one for me.
Anything else additional you would like to add?
I would like to thank Sifu and the PAMA staff for all of the guidance and I look forward to training harder and more consistently in the years to come.
- A Very Special Birthday(s) -- Happy Birthday Sifu Rick and Si Suk Bernie! -
On November 11, PAMA Staff and Instructors enjoyed a special night a Teresa's Cafe, celebrating Sifu Rick and Si Suk Bernie's birthdays. We have a wonderful night of good food and drink along with some great stories and laughs. Sifu, you are an inspiration to us all. We are grateful for everything you have given us and shared over the years.
- Sifu Rick Celebrates His 21st Year in Sweden -
Sifu Rick returned to Malmo, Sweden for a Seminar on Oct 31st and Nov 1st this year. The host of the seminar and good friend of PAMA, Sifu Dan Johansson of the Martial Arts Alliance, has been training under Sifu Rick since 1988.
There were many returning students this year and it was great to see their progression and improvement over the years. Also, it is always great to see students who are very new to martial arts participate and enjoy the teachings. This year there was a strong emphasis on the Southeast Asian Arts and, as we spoke about, we are watching as the pendulum swings and the martial arts community's interests return to the traditional, effective, and time proven martial arts. This seminar brought out some of the most important fundamental elements of self development necessary for these arts as well as the self actualization that all true martial artists strive for at all levels.
There was a large portion of the seminar that emphasized Silat, the beautiful but deadly art of Indonesia. This art is so rarely taught and understood at a high level it was a pleasure for all participants to get a glimpse into its complexity and intricate movements. There were many takeaways and Dan was left with the torch to carry and lead Sweden with his knowledge and understanding of Silat.
Sweden holds a very special place in our hearts and this trip was enjoyable on many levels. Thank you Sifu for giving us this opportunity and reigniting our passion once again. As always, thank you Dan for being such a wonderful host!
For information on classes in Malmo and future seminars in Sweden contact Dan Johansson at email@example.com.

Dietary Supplement
- Tyler Indolplex -
The patented form of DIM in Indolplex is 10 times more potent than its precursor, indol-3 carbinol (I3C).
The role of DIM in the body is to support healthy estrogen metabolism and hormonal balance, two factors known to prevent estrogen dominance. This unique formulation supports healthy estrogen metabolism and hormonal balance. Healthy hormonal balance affects how body fat is stored and how lean muscle tissue is increased.

Rockies calling up Tyler Chatwood from Double-A Tulsa to start Sunday
Posted By Patrick Saunders On August 4, 2012 @ 7:00 pm In Uncategorized | 2 Comments
With Christian Friedrich going on the disabled list and likely out for the season because of a stress fracture in his lower back, the Rockies needed someone to start Sunday afternoon's game against the Giants.
That someone is Tyler Chatwood, the 22-year-old right-hander acquired from the Angels in a trade for catcher Chris Iannetta last November. Chatwood was scheduled to start for the Double-A Tulsa Drillers Saturday, but he was scratched so he could rejoin the Rockies.
Chatwood didn't fare well in his earlier stint with the big-league club. Pitching in relief, Chatwood was 1-1 with a 7.62 ERA in seven appearances. He put up solid numbers for Tulsa, going 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in four starts.
Chatwood has always consider himself a starter — he was 6-11 with a 4.75 ERA with the Angels in 2011 in 27 games (25 starts) — and now he gets a chance to prove himself to the Rockies' brass.

Nanuet is a hamlet (and census-designated place), in the Town of Clarkstown Rockland County, New York, United States located north of Pearl River; south of New City; east of Spring Valley and west of West Nyack. It is 19 miles north of Manhattan, and 2 miles north of the New Jersey border. It has one of three Rockland County stations on New Jersey Transit's Pascack Valley Line. Lake Nanuet Park, part of the watershed which includes Naurashaun Brook, offers residents a summer pool and recreational baseball/softball fields, but recent massive flooding and subsequent contamination closed the park for swimming until 2011. The opening of the New York State Thruway (Interstate 87/287), the Tappan Zee Bridge, and the Palisades Interstate Parkway in the 1950s helped improve the quality of life of the area, ushering in decades of population growth and real estate development including the construction of the Nanuet Mall and local shopping centers. Nanuet High School gained national attention in 1989 when its football team claimed the New York State Division III championship. Sports Illustrated named the Nanuet team the No. 1 high school team in the state. The population was 16,707 at the 2000 census, and was estimated at 18,200 in 2006. In 2007, CNN Money ranked Nanuet 24th on its annual 100 Best Places to Live list. [more on Wikipedia]

According to a Virgin Media Business study automated customer care systems via websites is looking to be the top priority for business building upon their existing customer service programmes over the next year.
Out of 5,000 businesses surveyed only 58% said they their current level of customer care helps them stand out against the competition. 37% reported plans to revitalise their systems with automated self service capabilities in efforts to increase their customer demand.
Companies also say that another priority in automated customer service is offering automated text messaging, with 22% saying the plan to invest in the service.
"As we all become more digital, we expect to be able to contact businesses at any time with questions, queries or complaints," said Phil Stewart, Director Customer Services at Virgin Media Business. "For businesses this poses a real problem in terms of staffing this demand. In part because of the way social media works, people want to be engaged as quickly as possible. Yet for most businesses, they simply can't afford to have someone staff a customer helpline 24/7."
Companies that cannot offer a 24/7 helpline are increasingly turning to social media instead.
"In response, we're seeing companies invest in social media. Nine per cent are increasing their use of Facebook, with six per cent investing in Twitter, said Stewart. "But the priority is with automated 'e-Services' that can respond to customers around the clock. It's not a replacement for speaking to people directly, but can help point people in the right direction for information or simply acknowledge an enquiry."
Embracing tools that can help handle enquires by customers when no staff is present can increase opportunities for businesses.
"These tools can help companies be leaner in the way they deal with customer enquiries and ensure that opportunities aren't missed simply because of resourcing issues," said Stewart.

Glenn Symmonds:
Singer. Songwriter.
Drummer. Guitarist.
Producer. Teacher.
Father. Friend. Fiance.
Cancer Survivor.
We are thrilled to announce the release of Glenn's 4th album... Friends of Glenn's!
AVAILABLE NOW on iTunes!
Glenn has been touring the world playing music for over forty years. Hard to believe, right?! During that time, he has crossed paths with some wickedly talented musicians. Not only has he been lucky enough to create music with these gifted artists, but in true Symmonds' fashion, he has created friendships with them as well. When Glenn found himself uninsured & battling cancer, he was blessed to discover just how many friends he had. Support came in all forms, from near & far, and in that rush of support... this album was born. Friends of Glenn's is an album that celebrates the music of Glenn Symmonds. Each track is one of Glenn's original compositions recorded by a friend of his. Each artist had the freedom to record the song in their own unique style. The result is a wonderful collection of diverse music that will appeal to everyone. The closing track is a brand-new recording by Glenn himself! A candid, solid cover of The Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends". A fitting tribute from Glenn, to the friends who stood by him.
Proceeds from the sale of Friends of Glenn's will contribute to Glenn's outstanding & ongoing medical bills.

If all the meetings, budgets and presentations I had prepared turned into projects would I be happier, richer, and thinner? If I had more clients and worked with more celebrities would I be more appreciated and loveable? If I hadn't made any mistakes would I be in such demand that my assistant would have an assistant? If I had an assistant that is!
With the year coming to a close and another beginning it's a potent time to check in and see if you are in alignment with your career path and personal goals and consider what can support you going forward. No matter where you find your self in relation to where you imagined or hoped you would be, there is incredible opportunity right now to recommit to doing what you love and being who you were meant to be.
Whether you are in the entertainment industry or the food industry consider going into the next year and the next moment with these ideas as your companion.
• Become a Director: On set the person responsible for the vision and the execution of that vision is the Director. Yes, there are multitudes of people who make that vision come to life, but it is ultimately the Director who is held accountable for what you see on screen. Take charge of the vision of your life and gather the people around you to make that vision come true.
• Create A Storyboard: Before commercials, movies, promos, or almost anything is ever filmed the story is created in pictures. It is an effective way to communicate how the story will be told and gather feedback from all the departments. Designing and creating a storyboard or vision board for your year to come is a powerful tool that is fun and can inspire you all year long. Check out this link for some inspiration.
• Take Meetings: One of the proven qualities that happy and successful people share is spending time with the right people. Find your tribe and work together to support each other in making a difference in your lives and the lives of others. If you are determined this year to become a make-up artist or write that screenplay connect with like-minded focused people and you've taken the first step.
• Write Your Acceptance Speech: You've probably heard stories about how Jim Carrey wrote a 12 million dollar check to himself and carried it around in his pocket until one day, he actually received a check for 12 million dollars!! Google it. It's true. Practice your Emmy winning speech, your American Music Awards acceptance speech; you your wedding vows. Each time you envision yourself where you want to be you are telling your brain and the universe that this is the direction you are going and it responds to support you.
And most of all,
• Be Kind to Yourself: Take a chance and see all the "mistakes" and challenges as important ingredients that have value in your life. If things didn't go quite the way you had imagined this year take the lessons as the win and look for the victories that are there too. Make your happiness a priority and you may find your work in the world becomes more effortless.
Wishing you and yours a healthy, happy, holiday season.
See you on set,
