To the Chief Executive Officer Addressed:
On April 13, 2006, Public law 2005, c. 583, An Act To Amend the Notice of Risk to Personal Data Act was signed into law with an effective date of January 31, 2007. This new law requires various persons and businesses to provide notice to consumers when there is a breach of the consumers' personal information. Financial institutions authorized to do business in this state and credit unions authorized to do business in this state are among the businesses required to provide notice under the new law. The law, however, contains an exception. A business that complies with the security breach notification requirements of rules, regulations, procedures or guidelines established pursuant to federal law is deemed to be in compliance with Maine's notification requirements as long as the federal law, rules, regulations or guidelines provide for notification procedures at least as protective as the new Maine law.
This bulletin serves as notice to the regulated community that if a financial institution authorized to do business in this state, or a credit union authorized to do business in this state, is subject to, and in compliance with, the federal guidelines known as Interagency Guidance on Response Programs for Unauthorized Access to Customer Information and Customer Notice (70 Federal Register 15736 (3/29/05)), then that institution or credit union is also in compliance with the new Maine law.
Note that like the federal guidelines, which require notice to the appropriate federal regulator in the event of a data breach, state law also requires notice of a breach to be sent to the appropriate state regulator. Therefore, the Bureau requires that in the event of a breach requiring notice to consumers, the Bureau must be notified of the event as soon as possible and informed of the circumstances. Prior to the effective date of the new law, notification should be made to the Bureau whenever triggering events under the federal guidelines require notification to consumers.
If you have any questions regarding the provisions of this bulletin, please contact Deputy Superintendent Colette Mooney (624-8574) or Attorney John Barr (624-8561) at the Bureau of Financial Institutions.
/s/ Lloyd P. LaFountain III
Note: This bulletin is intended solely for informational purposes. It is not intended to set forth legal rights, duties or privileges nor is it intended to provide legal advice. Readers are encouraged to consult applicable statutes and regulations and to contact the Bureau of Financial Institutions if additional information is needed.

Gaza border violence: Another threat to Palestinian statehood?
Israel said Thursday Gaza militants fired 24 rockets across the border so far in July. Many Gazans are worried that an escalation could torpedo Palestinian reconciliation and statehood efforts.
Mohammed Salem/Reuters
Gaza City, Gaza
As Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas ramps up his campaign for a United Nations vote on statehood in September, the Gaza Strip is buzzing with speculation that Israel and radical Palestinian elements could derail the effort with cross-border violence.
Militants in the Hamas-run territory recently launched Qassam rockets into Israel for the first time in three months, breaking a tenuous cease-fire and drawing retaliatory attacks from Israel. Israel said yesterday that 24 rockets have been fired on its territory so far this month.
Many Gazans blame Israel for provoking the violence in a bid to torpedo not only the UN statehood bid but also a tentative reconciliation deal between Hamas and its secular rival, Fatah. The unity deal, which is hung up on final details, would end a four-year internal divide and allow the rivals to present a united front against Israel.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged President Abbas, who also heads Fatah, not to reconcile with the Islamist Hamas movement, Abbas's bitter foe and considered to be a terrorist group by the US and Israel.
"Israel will save no effort to spoil the agreement. Israel well knows the renewal of violence along the Gaza-Israel borders will hamper the Palestinian efforts for both statehood and reconciliation," says Mukhaimar Abu Saada, a Gaza-based political analyst and writer. "This also means that Israel can no more use the internal Palestinian conflict as an excuse to avoid carrying out its obligations regarding peace talks and solving the prolonged conflict with the Palestinians."

Elect Dr. Julie Cosimo - 50th State House District
Join Us for Our "Friendraiser" Event - 5:00pm Thursday, Feb. 27th - Orchard Valley Golf Club, Aurora
Dear Constituents of the 50th District, Thank you for visiting my website! Undoubtedly, you are here to find out more about me, and I hope you leave this page knowing what led me to decide to run for the 50th State Representative District. I think voters like you have a very difficult task because learning about what makes a candidate tick is often the most important part of your decision. |
The Future of Our State:
Why, What, and How?
WHY I Am Running for State Representative:
My main objective is to move Illinois in a better direction by reducing spending, spurring job growth, holding down taxes, and improving education.
The majority in our legislature are career politicians who have led our state into its current situation. But there are elected officials in Springfield who want to make a difference. I will find them, join them and work with them to create a TEAM to provide a better solution for the good of Illinois. We will do this by becoming a vocal minority that gets the attention of the media, voters, and eventually the legislators in Springfield.
WHAT Are The Issues:
Our taxes are too high and our current state regulations have created an anti-business climate; both of these are killing our job market. Every other issue in Illinois is secondary to this employment/economic crisis. The first step to saving our state MUST be restoring our economy so people can keep a roof over their heads and food on the table,
HOW Do We Save Illinois:
Rein in spending at the state level and END the 67% personal income tax increase that was enacted in 2011. Also, we need to restore Illinois' economy through job creation and make Illinois a pro-business magnet for growth and development.

Insurers Defend $329 Billion Muni Exception Amid Debate
May 17 (Bloomberg) -- Property and casualty insurers are voicing concerns that longstanding tax exemptions for municipal bonds could be disrupted as part of a broader U.S. tax-code changes being considered by Congress.
Insurance companies rely on income from municipal bonds to cover claims paid to policyholders. Property and casualty insurers held $329 billion in outstanding state and local debt as of December, making them the fourth-biggest institutional holder after mutual funds, money-market funds and banks, according to U.S. Federal Reserve data.
The century-old exemption for interest on municipal bonds is under scrutiny as lawmakers and the Obama administration seek revenue to help cut U.S. deficits. While few lawmakers and lobbyists think that Congress will take away the tax exemption altogether, insurers want to make sure that their revenue from state and local bonds isn't disrupted, Bloomberg BNA reported.
"Any change to the taxation of municipal bonds must take into account the settled expectations of investors with respect to existing bonds, and should apply only to bonds issued after enactment," wrote the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, in public comments last month to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Local governments sell tax-exempt municipal bonds to pay for sewage treatment plants, sidewalks, and stadiums. The tax preference is among many breaks under fresh scrutiny by the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee as it considers revisions to U.S. tax code.
Obama Proposal
President Barack Obama's budget proposal for fiscal 2014 recommended capping the exemption for interest on municipal bonds at 28 percent for the wealthiest U.S. households. That's a less-extreme change than the full repeal recommended by the Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction commission in 2011.
Repealing the break altogether would raise $124 billion over a decade, according to estimate last year from the Joint Committee on Taxation.
Lawmakers and lobbyists interviewed by Bloomberg BNA last week said they doubt Congress will eliminate the municipal-bond exemption. Still, leaders of the tax-writing committees have said all ideas for tax reform will be considered, including scaling back the exemption in some way.
Representative Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat and a member of the Ways and Means Committee, said during a panel discussion in Washington May 8 that he was surprised to learn through the committee's tax-reform working groups that property and casualty insurers rely so heavily on municipal bonds.
Public Projects
The insurers' concern illustrates a wrinkle in the debate over the tax preference for municipal bonds, a sensitive point of tax reform. So far, the debate has been dominated by state and local officials warning that scaling back the tax preference could undermine the financing of public works projects.
As important as insurers are to the municipal bond market, their role has actually diminished since the tax reform law of 1986, Christopher Taylor, former executive director of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, told the Ways and Means Committee at a March 19 hearing on the effects of tax reform on state and local government.
The 1986 law enhanced the role of individuals as bond investors and reduced that of insurers, in part by eliminating certain tax shelters, Taylor said in prepared testimony.
Top Earners
While Neal and other lawmakers are pushing for no change in the tax status of municipal bonds, the recommendations from the Obama administration and the Simpson-Bowles panel make some change more possible, an aide to a House Ways and Means Committee member told Bloomberg BNA.
The Tax Policy Center, a non-partisan group based in Washington, has estimated that eliminating the state-and-local bond exemption for high-income earners would generate about $25 billion in revenue -- only if the preference were taken away from outstanding bonds as well as new ones.
Any fiscal benefit would sharply diminish if the exemption were taken away only from newly issued bonds, a compromise the insurance industry has indicated it could accept as a last resort, the Tax Policy Center said.
Revoking the exemption from existing bonds would amount to making bondholders pay taxes on bonds they bought under the opposite assumption, Howard Gleckman, a TPC analyst, wrote in an entry on the group's TaxVox blog in August 2012. If only new bonds become taxable, he said, municipalities trying to borrow would have to compete for buyers with their own old and tax-free debt, he wrote.

Now I've been informed, that I have my optimism too high on the quality of the repair the repair shop does. This comes from a man that has had experience with them. But I am optimistic (maybe wishful thinking) that it will come back the way a $1400 gun should.

Compositing Courses Get Updated
I'm really pleased to bring you some news of an update to our current Compositing classroom courses. As most of you will know, what sets us apart from other training institutions is the fact that our courses are entirely industry focused. To ensure we continue to deliver on our promise, our development team regularly meet with industry professionals to refine our courses and align them with the very latest industry requirements. The changes we are making to our Compositing curriculum today will be applied to our 12-week Compositing for Production course as well as our 18-week Compositing Professional course.
Professional VFX & Compositing Freelancers Are in High Demand
Are you looking for a job in the CG Industry? Here at Escape Studios Recruitment, we've never been busier. It's a great time for the UK Post-Production industry and we have been inundated with requests for professional artists.
Digital Compositor and Escapee Victor Perez Thanks Escape Studios
When Victor Perez finished our 12-week Compositing for Production course last year, we knew that he was destined for great things. Since completing the course he has worked for an impressive range of companies - most of the post houses in Soho in fact - and is absolutely loving it. Victor was born to be a compositor -it's just in his blood. He's been hooked since his early days watching Star Wars. For Victor being able to use his artistic and technical skills to tell a story is one of the most important aspect of what he does -he's definitely in the right job then!
Changing Workflows Within the Post Pipelines...
I noticed this over at JupiterJazz: AtomKraft Beta2. It's a massive plugin to Nuke enabling a whole host of 3D rendering type workflows. Believe it or not, it puts control of final renders and outputs in the hands of the compers!
Illusion VFX Work on New Fantasy Epic
Illusion VFX have just finished work on their latest project, a teaser short for a new fantasy epic, Mrs. Peppercorn's Magical Reading Room, creating four VFX shots in just 3 months, a really impressive feat.
Add Realism to Composite Shots with 220 Organic Effects
OK, so Sapphire is not a new product. It has been used by a lot of the top studios like Framestore, MPC and The Mill for some time now. But is it new to our Techstore range, so we thought we'd make a bit of noise about it.
New 18 Week composting course launched
I'm really pleased to announce a new addition to our full-time classroom courses - Compositing Professional. This course builds on the amazing success of our 12 week compositing for production course and adds an additional 6 weeks of advanced training. This extra time will give students the opportunity to develop skills to really set them apart from other juniors looking to enter the industry - covering subjects such as compositing for stereoscopic and the advanced techniques needed to work with high end 3D visual effects. Part of the course includes a dedicated project week where you'll be able to work on your showreel and make sure that it really stands out from the crowd.
Please getting in touch with training team or come along to one of our open days to find out more.
Taking The Foundry Products On the Road
Last night, Escape Studios and The Foundry kicked off The Foundry Live Tour with an evening presentation at Aardman Animations' private screening room before a packed audience of CG specialists from the Bristol area.
MA Way
Last week, we launched our first academic qualification, an MA in Visual Effects Production, which we're running with the University of Bradford. You'll probably be wondering what we're up to, what with everything that's been in the news about how much university tuition is going to cost in the UK. Having collaborated on this project with some leading industry pros, however, I reckon we're on to a winner. Here's why:
Conrad Olson's take on Escape's Compositing Course
One of our escapee - Conrad Olson - recently posted a story on our LinkedIn group which I thought would be of use to all of you who are currently considering taking our Compositing Course.
Escape opens the BOXX with Boston
We're pleased to announce that we are now going to be selling BOXX Technologies' machines exclusively in the UK. This means that people buying workstations like the 3DBOXX 8550 Xtreme will now have access to next day shipping, reduced build times and local customer support.
Sixty Seconds with Featured Artist: Compositor Tara Roseblade
The compositing industry is booming right now which is why we were grateful to Tara for taking a couple of minutes out of her busy day to answer a few questions about what it's like working in the industry since leaving Escape Studios. Tara's reel shows everything that a good junior compositing showreel should. It includes examples of roto, rig/wire removal, colour correction and some good CG comping. Each shot is accompanied by a detailed breakdown - which is a great way of demonstrating these skills.
Free Compositing Webinar
For those of you interested, we're hosting a free compositing webinar taking place on the 28th of this month. I'll be taking you though the principles of compositing as well as the tips and tricks which will make the most complicated task seem straight forward.
A work of art
On one of my (out of work hours) trawls around the internet, I came across this little gem (if you can, watch fullscreen).

Wellness area
Bathroom make-up mirror was badly positioned and not illuminated properly.
This time is our 4th visit. I could have always relax time. Pool is very nice. Atmosphere is always very nice. I still recommend this hotel if you want to stay more than 3 night.
Looking at these 5 years, I feel that service quality is becoming lower gradually. Especially, if you ask some arrangement before your stay by telephone, I recommend to confirm the other days.
Very nice hotel, quite, charming place, delecious food and freindly staff.
I visited this hotel many times, But each time I decided to choose a different type of room which located in different building, and from my experience now they all wonderful with different view but all the facility are available for everyone I don't want to repeat what I say before this is the best hotel for relaxing away from children's and teenager its always quite and
Great resort for those who want a quiet luxury time. The public spa is really nice. Also several good restaurants.
the resort is connected with a medical facility, hence customers are rather senior. Not for partygoers !
The area. The swimming pool. The view . The suite.
The price was a little bit high.
Everything was to the top level. The food,facilities,surroundings all in one word is outstanding and we'll go there every time with pleasure and assured that we will receive the best of the best.
For children are not enough facilities and specially in pools are not allow to talk,to splash,to jump in the water and all because ale people need quiet and no one to disturb them,and is sounds like a place for them to die,which is not good for us young couples with children. More facilities for children and activities for them apart from Kinder Villa will be more then welcome and would bring more young couples within the resort. Also another inconvenient is that the wireless is so poor and every time we leave the resort we had to re-enter the passwords,regardless the device. Are a lot to say but we resume to this.
I liked the location of this resort near to the natural and mountain, also the spa is so beautiful and full of services and all what any one looking for a luxury spa is available here, and so much activity, the breakfast was excellent and the room organized and great view, the service is top .
the Wi-Fi was slow but the offer to help me out
One of, if not The Best hotel of the world!
WiFi in rooms unstable.
Very comfortable rooms, excellent facilities. Top level hotel and resort.
The spa was amazing, the restaurant's food was great, and the bar people attentive.
Мало русскоязычного персонала. В ресторанах их нету
All the rest is perfect. I like this hotel and services. It was my second time here.
I get the room with double beds, but i asked for matrim bad.
Service superb, large and luxurious and spacious, great spa and gym. Namun restaurant (Thai) - food delicious and staff extremely friendly and helpful. As were the concierge staff. Free pick up to and from station and local cable car. Free wifi, nespresso machine in room.
A bit uneasy with this being part luxury hotel part rehabilitation centre….just feels a bit odd!
Fantastic property, impeccable service. Spa, clinic, restaurants, Kinder Villa, etc. - all of the facilities are top quality. Great attention to detail. All staff members are very helpful and friendly. We stayed at Spa Suites building - highly recommended!

Alaska Early History (Prehistory)First Early Inhabitants of AlaskaEarly history examines the archaeological record that tells the story of the first inhabitants of Alaska. Learn about the prehistory and culture of the first early inhabitants, and what lessons it might teach us about the early history of Alaska. Alaska First Early Inhabitants Timeline
Early History of Native Americans in AlalakaThe Indigenous People of AlaskaThe first native inhabitants of the area now known as Alaska probably migrated from Siberia, part of what is now Russia, at the end of the last ice age ten to twelve thousand years ago. Although experts are unsure whether they traveled a land bridge or by boat, archeologists have found signs of different native groups dating back thousands of years in Alaska. The Athabascan nations traveled throughout the vast inland in areas, surviving the difficult interior winters from the Brooks Range mountains east to the Yukon and south to the Kenai Peninsula. The Athabascans were made up of at least eleven subgroups, speaking different languages. The Athabascans were nomadic, traveling long distances in harsh conditions to hunt herds of caribou and moose, fish the rivers for plentiful salmon, and take advantage of Alaska's seasonal berries and plants. Further north, the Inupiaks and Yupiks of St. Lawrence Island lived along the northern coast, hunting for seals and whales and surviving arctic winters on the frozen tundra. They also hunted polar bear and migrating caribou. To the south along the coast lived the Yup'iks, and Cup'iks settled along the more western coastal areas north of the Aleutian islands. These people developed the uluaq (ulu) knife, a unique curve-bladed knife used to skin fish and game as well as chop and slice just about anything. Early examples of early stone bladed knives date back centuries. The modern, steel-bladed ulu knife is a favorite souvenir from Alaska today. Many of these native groups survive today, forming 16% of Alaska's population and contributing their cultural heritage throughout Alaska. Be sure to find out more about them at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. The European exploration of Alaska began with the 1741 voyages of Vitus Bering and Alexei Chirikoff to the Aleutian Islands, the coasts of the Gulf of Alaska, and southeastern Alaska. Bering died from scurvy later that winter on an island named after him, Bering Island. Around this time the British, Spanish, and French were exploring the coast of Alaska. The unregulated exploitation of the fur resources by rival companies led to a depletion of accessible fur areas and the killing and enslavement of the peaceful Aleut natives. Consequently, this led to the chartering of the Russian American Company in 1799. Under its first manager, Alexander Baranov, which was a period of about 20 years, there was an order and systematic exploitation of the fur resources. |
US History Overview The United States of America is located in the middle of the North American continent with Canada to the north and the United Mexican States to the south. The United States ranges from the Atlantic Ocean on the nation's east coast to the Pacific Ocean bordering the west, and also includes the state of Hawaii, a series of islands located in the Pacific Ocean, the state of Alaska located in the northwestern part of the continent above the Yukon, and numerous other holdings and territories |

What's North Korea thinking? Ask the Monitor
Few places in the world are as isolated and odd as North Korea.
A hard-line communist dictatorship ruled by one family for more than half a century, North Korea regularly hurls bombastic threats at South Korea, Japan, and the United States. With its nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, its belligerent rhetoric is now backed up by deadly force.
What makes North Korea tick? You can ask longtime Monitor Korea correspondent Don Kirk at 1 pm (EDT) on Thursday. He'll be joined by Gordon Lubold, the Monitor's Pentagon correspondent, who is keeping an eye on the military threat and US options. Monitor editor John Yemma hosts the "Talk to the Editor" webcast and will be joined by deputy international editor Amelia Newcomb, who has specialized in Asia.

what's up with my bees (mason or ?)
I have a mason bee house made out of a 4x4 with a bunch of holes drilled into it. I've ignored it for several years, and never noticed any bees around it. But this year I noticed that many of the holes were plugged up so I put a white mark above each one and have been checking them a lot recently.
I'm in the Los Angeles area, the spring has been warm, and this bee house is facing East so the rising sun hits it. Recently I've seen holes in about half of the plugs, and for the past month I've been looking into these holes with a flashlight and sometimes seeing movement. I'm also seeing yellow and blacks as colors of whatever is inside. I thought Mason bees were dark colored so these may be something else. And even though there is movement, and these bees look fairly large, I've yet so see one push out through the hole. Of course, I'm looking at night most of the time, but sometimes in the afternoon.
Any ideas at what I'm looking at, and when they are supposed to be coming out. My fruit trees are way past blooming, so they won't be much use in that way except perhaps with the orange trees. But I'm curious to know what I have.
There's a bee half way out from it's cell and it has black and yellow coloring. What's strange is that this bee has been moving around inside and seemingly trying to come out for more than a week.
I wonder if this is normal...I'd think a bee would make it's way out quickly, in a day or two.
It doesn't look like a mason bee, so it must be something with a later hatching date. What other bees types would like a hole this size?
Interesting post, I'm curious to see how it works out. I also have a small mason bee house. This is my 2nd one and had no activity in the first one a couple of years ago and none this year either. I thought I might have gotten it out too late for them. There were bees in my area early in March or mid March and it was another week or two before I got the bee house put up. Next year I plan to get it put up earlier. Will bees overwinter in the holes and should you bring it into a garage for the winter or something?
I was just out looking at the mason bee house (4pm) and this time the active bee was facing in and actively doing something with her legs. After a while she backed out and moved around on the outside, even checking out a different hole. She's a full size yellow bee/wasp with two black stripes on the abdomen/back, and a large black patch on the top of her head. She went back into the hole and continuing what I think is a cleaning action...there's still room for another cell so I'd guess that's what's going on.
After looking at some photos, I'd say this is a wasp, no fuzzy hair, geometrical patterns on the black stripes instead of bands like a bee has. But shapewise almost like a bee. Not affected at all by me and a flashlight 3 inches away. What kind of wasp is liking my mason bee house?
I seem to have more than one of these black and yellow wasps living in my mason bee housing. Through some of the small holes I can see the same coloring as the one I've seem outside. They definitely aren't aggressive, I've been shining my bright flashlight at them day and night, with my face a few inches away. There seem to be some new plugs, so this is a work in progress. I'll post a photo if I can ever get one to come out and pose for me.

Best shoe on the market

Comments about Mens Newton Running Sir Isaac Running Shoe:
This is my 3rd pair of Newtons in a year and I love them. For over 30 years I have been an Asics runner, but have had issues with my arch and heel for over a year. Once I got my Newtons, all my injuries went away. It takes a few short runs until you become used to the feel of the Newtons, but once you do, you won't go back to another shoe. So stoked to be able to do mileage again. My only issue is that the heel wears very quickly and they are pricey.

Cosy hostel. Shower was a dribble only and beds could be better but I would stay again.

The staff is friendly, there is a nice and well equipped kitchen available for use which helps a lot. The hostel lacks bath rooms, and the ones available are quite old. The bed in which I slept was not very comfortable (very very old mattress and old linings) and the rooms are not cleaned in a regular basis (at least not during the 4 days when I was there). Location is also not very central.

Lovely quiet hostel. Almost like a mini ski cabin turned into hostel. We visitied off season, so it was extremly quiet, but well worth the visit. Rooms were clean and large. Staff we not over friendly, but language barrier could be at fault. Breakfast was simple but handy. Wasnt alot of atmosphere to speak of, but there was probably 6 guests in total, so that could be the time of year to blame. 10-15 min walk to main town centre, so good location :)

Conveniently located to bus and train station and a pleasant 10 to 15 minute walk to the centre of town with shops and restaurants. Staff is pleasant and helpful. Accommodation was spacious and clean, however the bed was extremely firm.

Please be aware that this hostel has not been up-dated since the 1984 and cleaned maybe a few times since then. No wifi, only in the reception. Hospital bed sheets (look for red stamps), actually I should say: holes and net of cotton fiber that used to be a bed sheet in 1984 but still in use. Beds that hurt your back. This facility is run by the Technical University in Crakow. I think that homeless sleep better. I have stayed in much nicer places for the same money and in cities like Rome

It has been really especial to be hosted in an absolutely wooden house, a nice pleasure. Most of houses in Zakopane seem like that. Very nice. The hostel is very nice inside, nice breakfast included, and very quiet, something important.

It´s a very cosy hostel, with a great value of price, including breakfast. It´s a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, the kitchen is well equiped for a nice cooking evening. Very central. Would have wish to get some more valued information for nice hiking paths in the region, but staff was pretty "shy" about that. But obviously it´s not an information centre :P

Hey all,
as i already stated in my last Post in another Topic, im all new to this Forum and also to the Colorize thingie and so on.
So i wanted to ask if its okay to post also WiP Colorizations or only the finished Work then?
Hey all,

So i wanted to ask if its okay to post also WiP Colorizations or only the finished Work then?
I'm not totally for sure, but it's probably better to post the finished picture so that this thread doesn't feel up with a ton of WIPs of the same picture. If you want critiques on your coloring, you can make a thread in the Critique Corner and post as many WIPs as you want.
I got this drawing from AQU from Re: The Inking and Coloring Book Thread: Vol. 2 Issue 1 http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5623/sketchaqu.jpg then I render it.
here comes my first Work in Colouring and im Kinda nervous.

If i missed a dblpost pls let me know
Oh, well no problem, but right above my previous post are three of your posts that can all be combined.
K, all put together into One Post, and deleted the 2 other Posts.

Articles in Relationships
Although life may simply be a meaningless ride that we try and cloak with a fulfilling purpose, humor allows us to laugh at the insignificance of most things in the vast flow of human experience and yet connect to what we find truly important.
Ran enlists the help of several luminaries along the way, including Barbara Fredrickson, Sonja Lyubomirsky and Philip Zimbardo, to help him to understand the science of his experiment. Ran also learns from the individuals he meets at truck stops, gas stations, and motels and realizes that the "ride of your life" can take place even if you never leave your hometown.
This year, I have decided to build a mud-room in my mind. Yes, I can see your confusion, but hear me out and it will begin to make more sense.
Although it has only been out for two weeks, The Upside of Your Dark Side has stirred some spirited discussion. I want to add a few comments, addressing four myths that have been raised about the book.
My first-born has left the nest. Like the mother bird that nurtured and tended, I watch her fly away with pride and just a little trepidation. What strengths can I draw on to deal with my heart filled with longing?
Living authentically comes naturally to those with the signature strength of Integrity, Honesty, and Authenticity. For others, more thought and action may be required to ramp up authenticity levels. Here are three evidence-driven approaches to consider, along with three ways authenticity benefit us in addition to increasing well-being.
It may be easier to advocate for positive psychology when life is on an upward slope, but for me, it has been the tough times that have truly shown me the value of the science. In July less than 24 hours after facilitating the Penn Resilience Program I got a phone call which would plunge me into a test of my own resilience.
On July 31, I joined around 500 other people in London to hear a talk on The Science of Happiness by Dr Tal Ben-Shahar. Anyone who can engage undergraduates on the scale that he did at Harvard must have something very special to offer. He focused on three themes: paying attention, asking the right questions, and appreciation.
I shared this particular story in Dr. Rashad's workshop of Positive Psychotherapy, and he pointed out that I was able to employ the character strength of playfulness to address an ongoing and challenging problem with my mother.
The 7th ECPP in Amsterdam from 1st-4th July was a fabulous opportunity to get up-to-date with the latest positive psychology research and practice. I was struck by how often the conference returned to the theme of connection and, in the widest-possible sense, well-being from a community perspective.

Michael gives the kids a tour of the office, and ends up getting bogged down in a discussion of their outdated business model, as compared to that of Office Depot. "We have better service than they do!" Dwight hollers from across the floor. Michael becomes so desperate to change the subject that he leads the kids over to meet Creed. Which is like showing them around a slaughterhouse and asking, "Who wants to crawl through the separator?" Creed greets the kids as pleasantly as a TV host, and asks them, "You ever seen a foot with four toes?" Well, Creed knows what kids are into. Michael quickly stops Creed from untying his shoe. "The hair covers it up mostly," Creed protests, as though that makes it better.
Back in the conference room, Michael is sitting on the floor with the kids and claiming he used to be the star of a kids' show. They don't believe him. So Michael dispatches Ryan to go break into his mom's house to get a tape labeled "Fundle Bundle" as well as Michael's guitar and tambourine. "Do you know how to play the tambourine?" he asks Ryan, which makes me wonder for how many years Michael's mom made him take tambourine lessons as a kid.
Over a brief montage and kids hanging with adults in the conference room while everyone enjoys pizza, Michael VOs about how raising kids is so much easier than everybody says. "You joke around with them, you give them pizza, you give them candy, you let them live their lives. They're adults, for God's sake." I would point out to Michael the havoc that becoming a parent wreaks on your social life, but I suspect that area would be a wash for him anyway.
Michael sets up the clip of the old TV show. It's obviously one of those crappy little local kids' shows that used to fill time on Saturday mornings before there were such things as infomercials. You know, a brightly colored set, and hosts with cutesy names in anachronistic costumes, and a few lint-covered cartoons and maybe a "Little Rascals" short or two. And then when it was over you might listen to the Victrola or take the horseless carriage down to the soda fountain for a Sarsparilla. Right, Creed? Anyway, Fundle Bundle, like many shows of this type, also featured hand puppets interviewing regular kids who showed up in the studio for taping. The one on this show is a cat reporter, name of Edward R. Meow. Michael has them fast-forward to the part where Meow is interviewing kids. One of them is apparently a very young Chet Montgomery, whom everyone recognizes as a weatherman on channel 5. "I wanna be on TV!" Chet confidently tells Meow. Everyone marvels about that, and how it came true. Michael shuts them up so they won't miss his bit. Sure enough, the next kid to be interviewed has slicked, side-parted hair and is wearing a suit and tie. Yes, it's miniature Michael Scott. It's a terrifying vision. Meow asks Mini-Michael what he wants to be when he grows up, and Mini-Michael babbles, "I wanna be married and have 100 kids so I can have 100 friends and no one can say no to being my friend." Which explains...this entire series, actually. Meow's puppet face goes slack-thumbed for a minute, before he recovers himself and throws it back to the host. As Michael wonders where the rest of his "performance" is, the kids all ask him how much of that came true. Michael has to admit that none of it did, and decides to get back to work. Everyone looks sad for him, no one more so than Jim and Pam.

Yeh they say that god is their inspiration, but I doubt it. Since when does the Lord like women being rapped, guys getting shot, and whites beeting up the blacks
Your are everything that i have wanted and more
My consoling mother, father; I mean… you're more than family
Your are always there for me in times of happiness
And you tell me what i need to hear when i am sad
The thought of life without you is a life without inspiration,
To go on without you for me is not possible
Though it's not normal for me to be dependent on another it feels ok to be this way with you
You are ever the ever evolving, the essence of emotion.
Thank the lord for blessing me, for letting you into my life, to arrange for out meeting
To let me hear you songs of joy
Though some times you preach wrong
In the end you always give my conscious words to internalize
You are my love now and forever
Thank god for the presence of MUSIC
this was when i used to hear music instead of this rambling about gold chains and the size of rims and tires and who's got spining dubs and what not, i'm talking rakim, mos def, nasty nas, pharoah monche, the rap game is totally liquidated now. i knowrthat things must change but i thought they would run with a good concept / foundation that was present instead of throwing it all away for foolishness like gold teeth and car rims.

Delta (wasp)
Delta is an Old World genus of potter wasps with species predominantly distributed through tropical Africa and Asia.[1] Some species are present in the Palearctic region, and a few have been introduced in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. The members of this genus have a long metasomal petiole, like members of the genera Eumenes and Zeta.

Ferron and I have not been formally introduced in any meaningful way, referring to her as "Young Lady" rather than the rather presumptuous first person familiar, "Donna", or the more formal, but rather cold, "Ms. Ferron", is rather an accommodation than a diminution. Moreover, I remind you that in past "Ms. Ferron" has more than amply demonstrated her capability of standing her own ground rather well in a verbal jousts, absent the intervention of would-be Galahads, if that were my intention (which it was not), No?
Whatever ... to my mind the term is still at best unsatisfactory and at worse demeaning and sexist. This is after all the 21st century and even us old fogies need to be dragged if necessary kicking and screaming into the here and now.
