It wasn't very pretty, but Saturday's 87-81 overtime win over George Mason gives the Billikens the best start in the history of the school. Saint Louis U. is now 20-2. Their winning streak has reached 14 games. They haven't lost a game in two months.
SLU head coach Jim Crews warned his team before Saturday's game that George Mason was much better than their 0-6 record in the Atlantic 10 conference would indicate.
"Now you might believe me," said Crews. "They are well coached and they played hard. They have good skill guys. They have a very good basketball team. Their numbers don't show that yet but it's a long season. We feel great about this."
The Billikens trailed by as many as seven points mid-way through the second half, and George Mason had a chance to win the game in the final seconds of regulation time. They missed two shots before regulation time expired allowing the 19th ranked Billikens to wiggle off the hook.
"I think that game is a great indicator of how good our league is. I've always said to win you've got to be good, and you've got to get lucky. George Mason is good, but they have not been lucky."
The Billikens will travel to Philadelphia this week for two games. They'll play St. Joseph's on Wednesday and La Salle on Saturday.

I don't ask people to write reviews for me, but when they do, and I have the time I put them up here in a 'virtual scrapbook' of happiness.
Hi Albert,
My turn to say thank you! We have received your package on Thursday but I was so exhausted I preferred waiting until yesterday evening to watch them. To start with, the package was brilliant, didn't know it could get even better than last time the pictures are amazing, thank you so much for all your work, it was awesome to have you as our photographer (twice!) and I am pretty sure both of us would marry you too, if we could. Oh wait actually you couldn't photograph that so we might need to reconsider…
I have also definitely caught up with David on the amount of times I watched the slideshow I am running out of synonyms for great/amazing/awesome but this is it!
I might send you another email praising you at some point as I've been drafting one in my head explaining why I found you so great as a wedding vendor haha…
Thanks so much again!
Elsie & David (Aug, 2013)
Hi Albert,
We gave ourselves a few hours to look through the amazing photos you took at our wedding, and I must say each and everyone of them are stunning! We had a great laugh during the photo booth pictures too!
I hope all is well with you.
Again a huge thank you to you for all these wonderful pictures
Chris & Naomi (Aug, 2013)
Hi Albert,
I had to have a sneak peak…so impatient!… absolutely love them. I can't believe you managed to capture so many brilliant moments. I don't remember most of them being taken either…
Thank you so much, these photos mean the world to us.
Sophie & Claire (Aug, 2013)
Hi Albert,
I'm so sorry for the late reply, our wifi has been playing up since we got home!!
The photos are AMAZING!!! We absolutely love them & literally cannot thank you enough! All our family & friends love them just as much & I've literally watched them 100 times!! You are incredibly talented & we are so grateful that you gave up your first wedding anniversary to give us the best memories we could have ever hoped for.
Thank you doesn't even come close!
Emily & Aaron (July, 2013)
Hi Albert
Just wanted to say that we received the photos and I loved the package, we absolutely loved the photos you did such an amazing job so just wanted to drop you an email to thank you for capturing all the moments we wanted, it was very emotional going through the photos and they are so beautiful!!! You made us both look amazing!
Take Care
Angela & Ian (July, 2013)
Hi Albert,
We received the photo disk on Saturday and would like to say a massive thank you. To start, the cd was so nicely packaged- presentation makes such a difference. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the photos and have shown several people already- including my mum who is so thrilled with them.
Thank you for being our photographer, you have created excellent pictures that will remind so many people of what was the best day for us.
Jinny & Tom (June, 2013)
Hi Albert
WOW – our album is amazing! We picked it up from Dave's parents over the weekend and we are thrilled with it J It was so exciting to open, like a Russian doll, every time we peeled back a layer of packaging and turned a page we were smiling and 'wowing'. You have done an amazing job and the print quality is exceptional. Although I'm probably a wee bit biased as it's our album, I truly don't think I've seen anything as well put together creatively and in terms of quality. A huge thank you. We'll look forward to many happy days re-living our story.
In fact, I'm going home now to have another look………………….:-)
Thank you again,
Hi Albert,
Hi Albert
Just a quick note to say THANK YOU! We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding pictures, they were all we had hoped for and more! We have had several people comment that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen, which is a testament to the great job you did. Looking forward to catching up with you at Emma and Ben's wedding in March!
Danielle & Jordan (Nov, 2012)
We want to say a big thank you for our wedding album! It arrived a couple of weeks ago and we are so pleased with it. Everyone we have shown it to has been raving about it! We must have looked through it about 20 times already and never get bored!!
We hope you had a good holiday, and thank you for your patience with the amends the day before!
Jamie & Rick (Nov, 2012)
Hey Albert,
Thank you again!
Thank you so much, the pictures are absolutely stunning and we could not be happier. You really captured the feel of the day, and it was the best welcome home present when we got back from honeymoon yesterday. You have a real gift.
The video is amazing and has been a great way of sharing a quick overview with friends and family. We've already watched it too many times to count!
I hope all the preparations are going well for your own big day tomorrow, wishing you all the best, we will be thinking of you.
With many thanks again,
Lucy and Tim (June 2012)
Hi Albert……………………
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. We've just spent the last couple of hours looking at them all….They're even better than we expected (and you'd already set the bar high!) We couldn't ask for more. Thank you SO much.
Words can't describe how we feel about the memories you have captured for us. They will last forever as reminders of our special day and these are more than money can buy. We can't begin to tell you how much we appreciate what you have achieved for us.
Anyway, Loads and loads of warm felt thanks! We're SO, SO pleased.
Kindest Regards
Charlotte and Richard (June 2012)
Hi Albert,
Best wishes
I've just opened the album of photos and I just love it so much – I've been going through all the pics, in black and white, and in colour ansd it's really made me re-live the day and also have a bit of a happy cry!
Sorry for the delay in emailing you, we've been completely distracted by all of your wonderful photos. They are absolutely incredible. We wanted to say a huge thank you to you for all of the amazing pictures that you took on our special day. Looking at them takes us straight back to the day, you captured it perfectly. We realised that we don't have a contact number for you, thus the email.
Thank you again,
Laura and James : April 2010
Hi Albert,
Thank you very much for getting these to us so promptly!
I have just been through the slideshow, and must say that I am very impresseed and appreciative of your work.
We would just like to take this oppurtunity to say thanks again for your stirling work on the wedding day, and for being such a nice chap to deal with from start to finish. We were very impressed with your approach on the wedding day, and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone else in need of a photographer.
Best wishes and kind regards.
Rob & Katie Bowen Dec 2009
Hi Albert,
Thank you so much for photographing our wedding in December. The wedding photos are absolutely perfect and we have had countless compliments on your photography. I cannot thank you enough!
I heard that two of my guests contacted you for their weddings already!
Many thanks,
Violet & Adan : Dec 2009
Probably the best wedding decision we made was to book Albert. He is fun and friendly and the finished product is fantastic. All of our family and friends have commented on the quality of the photographs and the speed with which we were able to view them.
We would recommend Albert to anyone who wants amazing photographs without being ripped off. Book this man, you won't regret it!!

McLarens Lewis Hamilton ended Practice One at a hot and humid Sepang on Friday half a second clear of Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel, and eight-tenths up on the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher.
Hamilton, who was on pole at last weekends Australian event, banged in a lap of 1m 38.021s with Pirellis hard rubber on his McLaren, not long after Vettel had ducked below his previous best with 1m 38.535s for Red Bull.
Rosberg beat Schumacher, 1m 38.813s to 1m 38.826s, while Romain Grosjean showed the potential of the Lotus E20 with 1m 38.919s once an initial rear-end stability problem had been sorted out.
After the first hour a rise of track temperature from an initial 35 to 41 slowed things and the times dropped away.
Mark Webber spent a lot of time in the Red Bull garage with his RB8s right-rear corner being worked on, after hed clocked 1m 39.092s to head Lotuss Kimi Raikkonen on 1m 39.128s, Paul di Resta on 1m 39.298s for Force India and initial pacesetter Jenson Button on 1m 39.323s in the second McLaren.
Nico Hulkenberg was 10th in the other Force India with 1m 39.440s, then came the Williamses of reserve sensation Valtteri Bottas and Pastor Maldonado. The Finn, the reigning GP3 champion, lapped his FW34 in 1m 39.724s on his first Friday appearance to beat his much more experienced team mate, who managed 1m 39.783s. That was impressive.
The Ferrari met the trouble that had been expected, with Felipe Massa only 13th on 1m 39.896s and Fernando Alonso on 1m 39.980s, and they sandwiched Kamui Kobayasahi on a troubled day for Sauber as the Japanese driver couldnt better 1m 39.910s. Team mate Sergio Perez, who twice went off the road in Turn Four and lapped in 1m 41.085s for 20th place, described his C31 as undriveable.
Toro Rosso were also in trouble. Jean-Eric Vergne was their faster runner with 1m 40.099s for 16th ahead of Heikki Kovalainen, the first and one of the few to try the medium Pirellis; he lapped his Caterham in 1m 40.247s. Then came Daniel Ricciardo in the second Toro Rosso on 1m 40.469s, Vitaly Petrov in the other medium-shod Caterham on 1m 40.857s, Perez, and the Marussias of Timo Glock and Charles Pic. The team were desperate for some dry-road running and Glock did 14 laps for 1m 43.170s, but Pic stayed in the garage for a long time having his car worked on and only came out towards the end for a best of 1m 44.580s.
The HRTs gained miles, with Pedro de la Rosa managing a valuable 18 for a best lap of 1m 45.528s, but slightly quicker team mate Narain Karthikeyan came to a halt with gearshift problems after posting 1m 45.360s. As things stand, they wont qualify under the 107 percent rule.
This may prove to be a very important session, as rain is forecast for Practice Two later on Friday afternoon.

Im on good terms with Lance. Finally. That means the war inside my head is over. Rite?
Nope. turns out, i still have an inward attraction towards him. But he's straight. Thank god, cuz i've found someone else that i want to be with.
He's the mystery guy in Ohio. We're going on a phone date (hopefully) tomorrow. I like him alot. Sounds like a nice story, rite?
Wrong. There's a catch.
Fred wants to date me, again. So im going to the mall with him soon. I'm certain all he wants is sex. But, i KINDA like him. IDK what to tell him.
Any comments?
i think
have sex with fred, ignore lance (then talk to him), and go on phone date with mystery guy
sounds good???
Sounds interesting! Good luck...
Just curious... but am I correct that that obliges both to use the speaker phone option? :)
not necessarily... i dont think... AHH, now you have me thinking. i hate thinking....

Chambord Vodka Weekend's Detox Brunch Success in Spite of Rain
Categories: Gastronomic Gatherings
There were platters of lush, fresh fruit and pastries both rich and flaky. Then there was an additional item as part of the three-course prix-fixe brunch menu on the hotel's waterfront deck.
Choices included an omelet, a turkey sandwich, a bowl of greens with grilled chicken, or a skirt steak with French fries. Perhaps most notable, was the Chambord "lemonade" stand, from which a cute, muscular boy served unlimited and complimentary cocktails all afternoon.
I was invited to check out the brunch (no charge), but most of the crowd had participated in Chambord Vodka Weekend's other events, some having arrived home at 7 a.m. from the prior evening's excursions to Score Nightclub and Johnny's Miami, a gay go-go dancer club, only to bounce back after a nap and shower to enjoy the brunch.
As part of the ticket price for the brunch, participants were able to enjoy a complimentary mud bath in one of the hotel's spa facilities, so many revelers drank and dined in pristine, white spa robes.
What a delightful way to unwind after the other, more exciting events of Chambord Vodka Weekend.

Firstly, This pistol is mainly metal. The pistol grip, fire selector, hammer, mag release and top slide is metal. the only thing I could find which was obviously ABS was the outter barrel & hop unit. This is compatable with most M9 barrels so you could replace it with metal if you were that fussed.
The gun came with a 49round extended mag which requires a spacer to stop it extruding into the firing mechanism (this is VERY important as you can ruin the nozzle and the mag if it extrudes to far up). The pistol has Semi auto (fire selector down), 3 round burst (selector up) and full auto (selector in the middle) with a safely that can only be engaged when the hammer is cocked. The safety can be switched off with a small movement by your thumb however engaging it requires you to move your hand more!
Overall the pistol is very good. The expected short comings of the full auto are the only accuracy downfall of this gun. The range is impressive and improvable with hop adjustments. The extended magazine allows for an upper hand in CQB firefights and balances the playing field agains AEG's.
The full metal design, coupled with the impressive recoil make this a sidearm I'd be happy to recommend! The power is in the right band for a pistol and
Sadly this pistol loses points for 2 reasons. The maintance issue when cold (i.e. the siezing) and the lack of rail accessories that we have come to expect for all pistols! The internals are upgradable just like the mainstream beretta but with a more individual look.

I think you definitely have to look at the position if the numbers are close. Wright is well ahead in SB's but he didn't blow Utely away. Plus, Utley missed a month...if he didn't he probably would have had at least his 15 or 16 swipes if not more. I don't see how Wright is that far ahead of him and when you factor in the positions I see Utley ahead of Wright by a decent margin.

He probably would have had 1-2 more because his steals after he came back stayed on course with the rest of the season.If we're playing roto I might agree with you on Wright. In H2H I'm taking Utley. But, even in roto it's a really close call for me.

What do you know about "The Poem of the Scarf"? Famously known as 'Qasidah-Burdah' by Muhammad bin Saeed Al-Busairi (601-695 AH) – by Shaykh Muhammad Jameel Zenoo
In the past few years, there is a particular piece of Arabic poetry that has reached the Muslims in the west and has been translated into English. This poem is called Qasidah Al-Burdah by Muhammad Al-Busairi. It is also known as the most famous if not the most famous poem that supposedly praises the Prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam).The poem has been widespread in Arabic for nearly eight centuries and many scholars have replied to it in Arabic.Was the Prophet created from light?

The following is taken from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
(1. The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder.) (2. And if they see an Ayah, they turn away and say: "This is magic, Mustamir.") (3. They denied and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled.) (4. And indeed there has come to them news wherein there is Muzdajar.) (5. Perfect wisdom, but warners benefit them not.) (Surah Qamar 1-4)
Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas bin Malik said,
"The people of Makkah asked the Prophet for a miracle and the moon was split into two parts in Makkah. Allah said, (The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder.)"
Muslim also collected this Hadith. Al-Bukhari recorded that Anas bin Malik said,
"The people of Makkah asked the Messenger of Allah to produce a miracle, and he showed them the splitting of the moon into two parts, until they saw (the mount of) Hira' between them."
This Hadith is recorded in the Two Sahihs with various chains of narration.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Jubayr bin Mut`im said,
"The moon was split into two pieces during the time of Allah's Prophet ; a part of the moon was over one mountain and another part over another mountain. So they said, `Muhammad has taken us by his magic.' They then said, `If he was able to take us by magic, he will not be able to do so with all people."'
Only Imam Ahmad recorded this Hadith with this chain of narration. Al-Bayhaqi used another chain of narration in a similar Hadith he collected in Ad-Dala'il.
Al-Bukhari recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "The moon was split during the time of the Prophet ." Al-Bukhari and Muslim collected this Hadith. Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn `Abbas commented on Allah's saying:
(The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder. And if they see a sign, they turn away and say: "This is magic, Mustamir.") "This occurred before the Hijrah; the moon was split and they saw it in two parts."

Abbas Abu Yahya delivers a Khutba at Masjid as Sunnah Cranford, The brother talks about the example of the companions and how they would send salutations upon the messenger (on whom be peace and blessings)
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"Allah exalts the mention of His Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and His angels supplicate Him to do so. O you who believe! supplicate Allah to exalt his mention and to grant him safety and security.
`Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) saying:
Whoever supplicates Allah to exalt my mention, Allah will exalt his mention ten times. [Muslim].
Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.

Google Summer of Code: Student applications now open
Last week, Google unveiled the 150 mentoring organizations selected for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2009, and students can begin submitting applications now.
Recently, I spoke with Leslie Hawthorn, Program Manager for Google's Open Source Team, and I asked her about what's new for this year's Google Summer of Code. Leslie says that she's most excited about the Melange project, which will make it possible to host GSoC and other projects on the Google App Engine. She says that all but one member of the committer team is a former GSoC student or mentor.
In addition to Melange and many returning projects – including the Asterisk Project and the Django Software Foundation – look for some new GSoC projects, including Sugar Labs, the community organization behind the Sugar learning platform. The Honeynet Project and Xelerance Corporation also make their GSoC debuts this year.
To search through the project list by category, visit: http://delicious.com/gsoc2009/
The deadline for student applications is April 3, 2009 (12 noon PDT /19:00 UTC). For more information, visit the blog announcement.

Been beta testing the PC version for the past couple days... and I must say, this MMO is worth a purchase. The boss battles, story, and multiple paths allow for a nice amount of play time. Apparently I've only beaten about 6 bosses: Scarecrow, Bane, Queen Bee, Brainiac's Henchmen, Raven (with Cyborg from Teen Titans, but the grown up version), and now I just beat Night Wing (under Brainiac's control). I chose the hero path of course. My guy is like Batman (skill wise), but with the Guyver's looks. More focused on Martial Arts & Gadgetry.
Those 5 boss fights I spoke of earlier are only intro battles. I locked Scarecrow up in Arkham Asylum, but eventually he said he'll break free (via Joker). I"m not really interested in Metropolis because Superman sucks. I'm more interested in Gotham since Batman is the only DC series I follow. Well.. I suppose I can post links to a handful of pics from my adventure so far! The graphics are nice, and don't require a powerful PC to max out.
Another nice thing is combat. It's not about clicking once and auto-attacking. You have to actually control each melee attack manually. Combat reminds me of Devil May Cry sort of. That is a good thing! The game works with a PS3 controller VERY well. Oh, and before I forget... I'll be beta testing the PS3 version when it's ready for me to download. POW!

The objectives of this study were to address uncertainties in the solubility product of (UO2)3(PO4)2⋅4H2O(c) and in the phosphate complexes of U(VI), and more importantly to develop needed thermodynamic data for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system in order to ascertain the extent to which U(VI) and Pu(VI) behave in an analogous fashion. Thus studies were conducted on (UO2)3(PO4)2⋅4H2O(c) and (PuO2)3(PO4)2⋅4H2O(am) solubilities for long-equilibration periods (up to 870 days) in a wide range of pH values (2.5 to 10.5) at fixed phosphate concentrations of 0.001 and 0.01 M, and in a range of phosphate concentrations (0.0001–1.0 M) at fixed pH values of about 3.5. A combination of techniques (XRD, DTA/TG, XAS, and thermodynamic analyses) was used to characterize the reaction products. The U(VI)-phosphate data for the most part agree closely with thermodynamic data presented in Guillaumont et al.,(1) although we cannot verify the existence of several U(VI) hydrolyses and phosphate species and we find the reported value for formation constant of UO2PO− 4 is in error by more than two orders of magnitude. A comprehensive thermodynamic model for (PuO2)3(PO4)2⋅4H2O(am) solubility in the H+-Na+-OH−-Cl−-H2PO− 4-HPO2− 4-PO3− 4-H2O system, previously unavailable, is presented and the data shows that the U(VI)-phosphate system is an excellent analog for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system.

Chief Artist Officers Workshop: Part 1
Another valuable workshop I attended at CTNx was the CAO (Chief Artist Officers) Workshop. Running a studio while being a "hands on creative" is not easy at times and it was refreshing to hear how these wildly successful studio heads balanced creativity, business acumen, shaping studio culture, forecasting, and navigating the pitfalls inherent to the animation industry.
CAO Workshop (From CTNx's Website)
Artist-Driven Companies that are beating the odds, and finding new ways to innovate. With a general concept and stronghold supporting the long lived misconception that artists can not create or run a business CTN welcomes the CAO's (Chief Artist Officers) of successful studios, brands and companies.
One common topic discussed by all of the studio heads, was the economy. The economy hit Timbuktoons hard in early 2009 and it was interesting to hear the similarities in how these studios dealt with the economy and how it reshaped aspects of their business and creative workflow.
Below is an overview of each company and a list of key statements that I took away from the discussion. As with other CTNx posts (Andreas Deja, Marcelo Vignali), much more was said, but these are things that resonated with me personally or that I found worth noting. They are not exact quotes in all cases but an overview of what was said.
From CTNx's Website:
In a remarkable career spanning more than 25 years, visionary animator Ken Duncan has thrived with each new phase of artistic and technological development. After earning three nominations for the outstanding character performances he created at Walt Disney and DreamWorks, Ken opened Duncan Studio in 2007. With the flexibility to work traditionally or in CGI, Duncan Studio is the go-to animation studio for DreamWorks, Disney, Playtone, Focus Features, and other luminous names in the entertainment industry.
Duncan Studio first got on my radar when I saw the Legend of the BoneKnapper short (on DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon DVD release). I loved the art direction, timing, character posing, and humor and had to find out what studio created it. So when I found out Duncan was at this workshop I had to go. Here are some statements from his talk:
- We focus on quality work and have a character animation focus.
- Many studios were started by animators or other creatives.
- You need to give clients clear bids.
- 2008 was tough and the economic crash forced us to let people go after having just started the company 1 year before. It forced us to restructure to spend money wisely in a new climate.
From CTNx's Website:
In 2002, Chris Edwards joined a team of digital artists at Lucasfilm, that were tasked with previsualizing Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Afterwards, Edwards spearheaded the creation of THE THIRD FLOOR, an independent previsualization company in Los Angeles, in 2004.
I didn't know much about Chris or The Third Floor since Timbuktoons is primarily a 2D character animation studio, but I really tracked with Chris' thoughts about leadership, studio culture, and customer service. Chris Edwards and the other 5 founders all worked on the 3rd floor at Skywalker Ranch (hence the name) and wanted to build a company that had an employee friendly culture. It has now grown to 120 employees and their main clients have been Marvel and Disney. Here are some statements from his talk:
- We use mocap to mock it up in previz then go thru several iterations before finalizing our previz spots.
- Many scenes are barely touched once the assets are handed over and tweaked for final output.
- You have to build your clients on a personal level.
- You have to focus on high quality.
- Previz is fast paced. You have to be flexible and customer friendly.
- Budgets are built based on day rates per employee. That lets it be flexible/scaleable since there are so many unknowns going into a previz spot.
- We wanted to create a studio environment that was employee friendly, that wouldn't burn them out even though it's a fast paced industry.
- Communication is key to employee and customer relations. Over communicate. Stay Close.

Ever wanted to travel to China? The culture, the history, the Dreamworks Theme Park– hold on a second, what was that last one?
We were very excited to find out this week that Oriental Dreamworks has plans to build an indoor theme park in the Yangtze River Delta in China.
Showing off some of the characters created by the Glendale Animation Studio (and yes, for any fans out there - that does include the characters we know and love from Kung Fu Panda!)
We're now waiting on Shuai Min, vice president of the Shanghai based branch of the firm, for details on exactly where the park will be built and a more precise schedule for its construction. It was only last year that Dreamworks teamed up with three Chinese Media companies to form Oriental Dreamworks, and this is their first project, the indoor theme park, titled 'the Dream Centre Entertainment and Cultural Complex' is looking to cover the spectrum when it comes to entertainment and is something to keep an eye on!!

Why does China require that its astronauts be married?
(Read article summary)Bachelors and bachelorettes need not apply to China's space program: If you want to ride in a Chinese rocket, you need to be hitched.
Probably seen as America's biggest space rival, China has recently emerged as a major space power after conducting their first space walk in 2008 (not to mention launching a lunar satellite around the Moon).
With future plans of launching a space station and sending Taikonauts (aka Chinese astronauts) to the Moon, China is going to need a lot of space pioneers–provided they are hitched to a spouse.
(Space.com) Earlier this year, Chinese space officials said that one requirement for China's first female astronauts was that they were married, a requirement that is also upheld for China's male astronaut candidates.

I have been working at Childtime Learning Center full-time (more than a year)
ProsNo one should enter child care expecting the work to be easy. Childtime employed me as an Assistant Infant Careteacher, where I cared for babies ages 3 months to 1 year at a state-mandated 1:4 infant to teacher ratio. I truly enjoyed working with the little ones and fellow teachers. I experienced constant illness and stress that stemmed not from Childtime but the nature of working with eight babies each workday. Any job where you handle feces and vomit each day is not for the faint of heart, as cute as the children are. I witnessed first steps and first words, though, something I will never forget.
ConsWhere to begin? The Childtime branch were I worked automatically clocked its employees out at 6:00 PM, even though we often had to stay until 6:15-6:30 PM. This is illegal, and I wish I had been more assertive about my unpaid work hours.
Corporate came up with lots of feel-good fixes for our classroom, including a cute curriculum, peer review, and off-the-wall regulations like only allowing one exersaucer toy per room. My branch would actually hide our extra exersaucer during corporate inspections, since we desperately needed it to keep our 8 babies happy and safe from the others. Ultimately, they employed a top down approach to management that neither engaged the workers nor eased their workload. Their regulations only made our lives more stressful. Who has time to lead babies in an arts and crafts project when half of them are screaming their lungs off because they're hungry or tired?
The job quickly became scary when we had to keep highly active, bored one-year-olds in our room instead of the Infant 2 room. We had very little time for social interaction, touch, and play for the babies. Our lives were just about meeting their physical needs, sneaking in affection when we could. We would even doctor the baby's daily report sheets to add in feedings and diaperings to fool the parents.
We were not providing a safe environment. The state safety and health regulations were the first to go when crunched for time, like mixing the bleach solution daily and washing the baby's hands after diapering (have you ever tried to diaper a baby while watching 7 more at the same time? It's chaos).
My center had no way of calling the front desk when we needed to take a bathroom break, unlike other centers I've worked at. The solution was to just let employees to take them when they wanted them without substituting in a staff member. I was frequently left to care for eight babies by myself for upwards of 20 minutes. It was so dangerous! This was when the one year olds would injure themselves, because I simply couldn't be 8 places at once.
I lost count of all the gross violations of state law at my center. I would never send my own child to Childtime.Advice to ManagementAdviceRemember when your MBA courses told you to engage your frontline workers? Do that! Listen to your employees' concerns and build your management strategies around them. Consider using LEAN and daily Kaizen practices to implement their ideas and to allow for some bottom-up policy changes.
Always obey state laws and regulations. You can't hide from the inspectors forever, and it's only a matter of time before an infant becomes seriously injured due to negligence. -

Managing content and the conversations around it have always been part of the PR job description. But today, there are many more communications vehicles, with advanced content marketing and management increasingly falling into the PR domain for many organizations. While there are some tools that simplify the end-to-end editorial and social media management process, they're usually outside the budget range of Solo PR Pros and their clients. Having a repository of Conversation Calendar Templates can be enormously beneficial in meeting varied client needs.
Solo PR PRO Premium members, click here to access these customizable templates.
While a separate Google Calendar is one option for planning, most clients feel more comfortable with an actual file to review. So once you've thought through your strategies, there are three calendar approaches I've found work best to manage updates in most client situations (note that these are separate from the blog editorial calendar process).
All of the examples below use a separate worksheet for each month, with activities broken down by week, and you'll customize the social networks/tactics based on each individual client (for example, some clients may have more emphasis on YouTube or Pinterest, others may not use LinkedIn).
1. If you want something pretty to show a client that doesn't have a ton of news/content, a calendar that includes colorful icons can be very well-received (click to view larger):
2. Another way to handle, especially if you have an organization with a steady stream of new assets and events, is to focus on the new items without detailing what needs to be said or covered on each social network or communications vehicle:
In this case, unless you have an additional scheduling calendar, you're trusting the person in charge of each communications vehicle to express the information appropriately. So, if you handle all the communications and social media for a busy client and have a good level of trust with them, this can be a nice way to show what you'll be promoting when (and/or for them to report to you what will be available), without having to detail each message in advance.
3. For clients with a heavy emphasis on social media, especially those who like to be hands-on in their review of how messages will be expressed, the following calendar works well:
By including all of your channels on the left and listing out each communication (with color coding), you can see at-a-glance everything planned for a given week, and adjust as needed. This calendar can be as general or as detailed as you need it to be (word-for-word tweets, for example), and can be customized for any number of assets.
Of course, all of these formats can be combined or used in tandem. If you're working collaboratively with a team, Google Docs (now Google Drive) remains one of the best tools for handling content management, since all of the above calendars can be placed online as a spreadsheet and edited by those with permission.
By the way, most of the world is currently handling content management as a separate process from scheduling – a fact that drives me a bit nutty. I'm currently testing a multi-step process that will reduce the cut/paste insanity, so stay tuned…
If you've used other methods with success (or if you have any lessons learned to share), please let us know in the comments!

Update: We've said it here before, but it bears repeating: scheduled updates are no substitute for real-time engagement across social networks. It's critical to be responsive and have mechanisms to capture the feedback loop. Thanks to Lisa Vielee for mentioning this on Twitter, which reminded me to point this out!

He's one of the few to have performed at every year of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, so what advice would he have given the Des Clarke about to appear in its first ever year?
Talking to STV in the atypically fearsome sunny March weather that's taken grip of both Glasgow and the rest of the country, Des answered: "If I was going to give myself advice, it would be 'wear suncream when you're doing interviews outside on a sunny day in Glasgow'. We're not used to it!
"I think I'd probably just do the same thing. I don't think I'd change anything, I'd just go with it and enjoy it more. Because I've done so many different gigs as part of this comedy festival.
"I've done the community tours, I remember my first one was in Blackfriars, I've done the Oran Mor, I've done support slots at the Kings, I've done the Citizens Theatre and the Gorbals where I'm from, and I don't think I'd change anything. I'm quite happy that I've down all the gigs that were offered to me, and played to so many Glasgow audience members over the years – and they provide entertainment themselves."
What about those who are coming to Glasgow to play a show, and may be worried about the infamous reputation audiences in the city held?
Des said: "It's funny playing this festival, and I think what is good is that it's a bit of an education for those not from Glasgow or even Scotland, because the old Glasgow audience reputation was 'take no prisoners', they're very hard on you.
"Maybe that still exists, but I've actually experienced it as really friendly. They're really honest. Sometimes they'll just sit very stony faced, and at the end they'll say 'good gig old chap'. In Glasgow they'll let you know right away if they love you or they don't like you, and they like to be interactive.
"That doesn't mean aggression – some people mistake it for that. But that's a Glasgow thing, people are just maybe a bit more in your face, that's just being friendly. I think the audiences tend to be very supportive, and certainly for me who's from Glasgow, they've got behind me as one of their own as well. They're very welcoming."
As for his advice to those arriving here to perform, he explained: "For any comedian who comes to Glasgow, don't try and go in too hard.
"I see that a lot, because it's got this reputation as in the past it was quite tough. There's the old stories about guys going on at the legendary Apollo venue in Glasgow; Mike and Bernie Winters – I think Mike was dying, then Bernie came on and somebody in the audience went 'Oh God, there's two of them'. There's so many stories, Des O'Connor fainting and stuff like that. But that's the old days.
"I think with stuff like that in mind a lot of comedians come from down south and elsewhere and think they have to be so aggressive, and they always go in too hard. They hear the first bit of chat or shout from the audience and think they have to really put them down, and be very sweary and go into them with this real aggression. You don't have to do that.
"The audience like honesty, and if you just try not to be too pretentious – or try not to fake what you are – if you're not that aggressive generally don't be that. If you're honest with a Glasgow crowd you'll get the best response from them."

Yarn bombing artist Magda Sayeg, founder of 'Knitta Please' who is also known as KNITTA, has been tapped for Sunglass Hut's latest Artist series.
For the limited edition collection, Sayeg wrapped sunglasses with yarn so that each piece is unique, signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity. The collection launches today exclusively at sunglasshut.com.
Sayeg is considered to be the mother of yarn bombing, which got its name because of its association with graffiti and street art, and is credited with spawning the movement on an international level. Based in Austin, Texas, she leads community-based projects to beautify urban areas around the world, and her installations have also been featured at The Standard Hotel, South by Southwest and the Austin City Limits Festival. "The fact that the Sunglass Hut actively seeks out emerging artists and provides them with an opportunity to share their work in a new way is incredible," said Sayeg.
"Once I saw Magda's yarnbombing and how she was introducing this old-fashioned hobby as an art form to a younger generation, I knew that we had to work with her," said Kristen McCabe of Luxottica. "There's something very intimate, very personal about her work and I liked how the fuzzy knits contrasted against hard materials in her art... The consumer reaction is expected to be very strong. Magda perfectly combines sweet with street."
This is the fourth edition of the Sunglass Hut Artist Series, which was created to support up-and-coming artists; previous artists' collections include Chris Mendoza, Maya Hayek and Mike Ming.
Each hand crafted piece will retail for $130, with $30 from each purchase being donated to OneSight, a family of charitable vision care programs dedicated to improving vision through outreach, research and education.

The search continues for a missing East Texas boater, who was flung into the Red River after an accident Wednesday. Crews remained at River Bend Marina in Elm Grove throughout much of the day Thursday, returning for the search's third day Friday.
The boater is identified as Dan Stanley of Bivens, Texas. His cousin, Jerry Smith, was found on the shore Wednesday, suffering from a head wound and hypothermia. Wesley Walker of Wildlife & Fisheries says the accident may have happened when the boaters turned to avoid a sand bar, accidentally hitting a rock jetty.
A helicopter and K-9 unit were ono the scene Thursday. Kerry Foster of the Shreveport Fire Department says someone will remain at the scene to search throughout the next several days until a body is discovered.

He'll likely remember 2012 for its highs – and lows, says alfalfa grower Philip Bowles of Bowles Farming, Inc., Los Banos, CA. On the upside, production was "just this side of fantastic." On the downside, sagging financial prospects for his dairy customers remain a major concern.
With adequate water, no great weather extremes and a lack of insect pressure, Bowles was able to take a seventh cutting off a large percentage of his 3,500 acres in 2012. "It was as good a seventh cutting as I've ever seen. Typically, we're lucky to get a seventh cutting on a few of our fields."
His overall yields were just shy of 7 tons/acre this year; a typical year averages around 6.5 tons/acre.
Bowles packages most of his hay in three-tie bales weighing around 135 lbs; large squares are made in summer months when he doesn't have to worry about fire in his stacks. He markets about 90% of his hay to California dairies and relies on a broker to sell the rest of his production in the horse market.
The unstable dairy industry, and how it will affect growers, worries him. "Dairy producers continue to have a tough time of it. And our fortunes depend on them. If they're making money and are profitable, alfalfa growers will do just fine."
Milk prices have improved in recent weeks. "If that trend holds, there could be some room for hay prices to move up," Bowles says.
Currently, the price for supreme-quality alfalfa hay in Bowles' area is around $250/ton at the stack. Depending on test and appearance, good dairy-quality hay is bringing anywhere from $220 to $250/ton, while utility hay is selling for $190/ton.
In a "marketing experiment" during the summer, Bowles intentionally delayed harvest on one cutting. "We thought that, with the collapse in dairy prices, there wouldn't be that much of an incentive for dairy producers to try to get that last 5 lbs of milk production. That's the reason to feed high-test hay. On our end, we figured we'd make up what we lost on price per ton by getting a little better yield."
He was surprised by the outcome. "Even with the low milk prices, we found dairy producers still wanted that super-high-testing hay. The economics of milk production aren't always that easy to figure out."
To contact Bowles, call 209-827-3000 or email email@example.com.

Thought I'd share my recent experience installing a tactical trigger kit from Apex on my S&W model 637. As many of you know, the trigger pull on this gun in stock form is a pretty long, hard one. It's not necessarily bad, but I thought I'd give the Apex kit a try. On-line videos make installation pretty easy, and no special tools are needed. Apex says it takes the pull from a stock 13 lbs. down to about 9 lbs. After doing the installation and firing the gun, I'd say that estimate is about spot on. The gun still operates like a double action revolver; there's no mistake about that. But the trigger pull is much easier and more comfortable. I occasionally shoot this J-frame in competition, and sometimes, by the end of the day, the tip of my trigger finger would be raw. I don't see that happening now.
As I recall, the cost of the kit was about $20 to $25; shipping was fast. I'd say it's a good upgrade for the money.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Baden is a historical German territory. Together with Württemberg and Hohenzollern, two other historical territories, it now forms the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg.[1]
Following the dissolution of the old Duchy of Swabia, Baden underwent an interesting history which can be summarized as follows:
After WWII this territory was subdivided between Württemberg-Baden and South Baden. Finally, in 1952, it was integrated into Baden-Württemberg, with Stuttgart as capital.

NEAR GOLD HILL, Ore. — A Southern Oregon school bus ends up on its side outside of Gold Hill. The driver had to use emergency techniques to get out of the crash.
The call came in just before 3 p.m. Monday afternoon on Ramsey Road in Sams Valley. Only two people were on the bus at the time, the driver and a student. There were no serious injuries.
Jackson county sheriff's officials responded and said the driver left the road going about 35 to 45 miles per hour. The driver reportedly then kicked out the windshield to escape with the student.
Both were transported as a precaution to a nearby hospital. Neighbors nearby say they were worried about their students and are glad there appears to be no major injuries.
"I ran and got my daughter in law and told her because the kids usually ride the first bus and I thought my great-grand kids were on that bus and luckily I guess nobody was hurt," said Lynn Clark.
The will not be a reconstruction of the crash scene and there are no criminal charges pending.

The Blue Has Left Your Eyes
About Bob Pressner
"I Just Keep Fighting the good fight"! That has become his mantra, the call to action for singer/songwriter, Bob Pressner. And no one has fought harder chasing his once elusive dream than Pressner. Which is why his long overdue and well deserved success is now becoming a reality.
Yet Pressner's back story reads like an intrigue filled novel: It was the first World Trade Center bombing that changed Bob Pressner's life. Working as a commodities trader at the WTC when the bomb hit, he made his way down a dark, smoke filled staircase to the parking garage, only to find his car destroyed and seemingly, no way out. Exhausted, his smoke and dust filled lungs almost bursting, he finally found a passage of light which led him out of that bomb wracked building. A life changing experience indeed and one which convinced him that having been offered a second chance, he was going to make the most of it. And make the most of it, he has. The World Trade Center experience caused him to reevaluate what was truly important to him in life and inspired him to pursue that dream with a new, raw sense of urgency.
Moving his wife and two young daughters to Florida, Bob soon found his place in the sun and he began to write and record with a vengeance, as he had never done before. He recorded and released album after album on his own small label, sending copies off to those in the hierarchy of the music industry, in hopes that someone would recognize and embrace his talent. That call never came. But then an interesting call did come. A friend in Los Angeles had given Bob's latest CD to a writer/producer named Jim McGorman. McGorman, who wrote and produced albums with artists like, Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne loved what he heard and asked Bob to "Come to LA and let's see if we can work together". Their collaboration was magical. Bob and Jim struck a chord, writing song, after great song. McGorman put together a new, highly energized group of musicians from bands like the Goo Goo Dolls and they went into the studio to record. The result, an amazing, soon to be released CD entitled, "Looking Back". Says McGorman, "Bob Pressner's music resounds with the heart and soul of a life well lived."
Oh…and when a preview of Pressner's new CD got around, that music industry call did come…from the fabled EMI Music, who just finalized a distribution agreement to distribute Bob's music
But Bob Pressner's success factor hasn't stopped there. His music videos just took "Top Honors" at YouTube, having achieved millions of views. And with his new band, he sang to a full house at South By Southwest, a live performance that led to another milestone... his own Comcast produced concert entitled, "Bob Pressner at Infinity Music Hall", which will begin multiple airings on March 1, 2012 and with TV promotions running on cable channels like A&E, AMC, ESPN, CNN, Bravo, MTV, VH1, TBS.
Though he may have had a bit of a late start in his musical career, when you hear Bob Pressner's new album and see him perform, you'll know that this is only the beginning, with so much more to come
