Confucius Temple and Blue Frog
Had a lovely day. Brunch at the Blue Frog and then went to Confucius Temple and wandered around. Bought 3 hats in the hat shop! Then went back to Blue Frog for supper and some more photos! Lovely weather, lovely day, lots of fun!
Mendong, Nanjing
... which has been built in the style of an old hutong. We visited the Motu burger restaurant, owned by our New Zealand friend, Paul, and his wife. Had a lovely chicken satay burger, New Zealand ice-cream and real Sauvignon Blanc! We had a lovely wander around the area, doing some shopping in the little craft shops.
Loads of Nannas in Nanjing
... a glimpse of his body and thinking how weird embalming is. Whereas Zhong Shan's tomb was positively chilled out in comparison, then again I think most places are chilled out in relation to Tiananmen Square. I walked up a **** load of steps, looked at a huge statue of Zhong Shan (they decided against immortalizing him) and had a look out over Nanjing. It was a lot more pleasant all in all.
Should We Follow Fashions?
... importantly, we don't have income. Our own life still depends on our fut coins parents, so we shouldn't waste their money. In a word, fashion is a time-wasting and money-wasting thing; it is not wise for us to follow it. What's more, following fashions can be a kind of cruel action because it is at the cost of the animal's life. Fashion is often leading by the pop stars and celebrities. Every time we see them, we are often surprised at the creative design of their ...
Sister School Day 1
I knew I would need to wake up early, but wow I didn't realise actually how early it would be. 5:30am, I could already hear some talking and movements so decided I better get up soon or be late to school on my first day! I pulled myself out of bed, trying to not fall back to sleep on the way up when I heard a knock on the door and this little voice said, "Emily, are you awake?" I opened my door and to my surprise Olivia (my host sister) and her mother were already dressed cleaned ...

Over the past few years, James Allen has sold over $100,000,000 worth of engagement rings and loose diamonds. We encourage each of our customer to post their review of the product and the process of buying their ring or diamond from us. Based on the thousands of reviews we receive on multiple review sites, we pride ourselves as the industry leader in quality ring manufacturing and customer satisfaction. Please find below some of the most recent reviews written about jamesallen.com. You can click on the Read More link at the bottom of each review column to read more reviews.
Let's just say that I'm impressed. So often purchases made online (despite the value) have nameless/faceless people processing them who care little about the customer. I really appreciate the PROACTIVE customer service at James Allen. Every thing went very smoothly from order through delivery. We had a snow storm and valentines day all combined around the expected delivery of the ring and I heard from James Allen first to inquire about alternative delivery locations (IE my office/ home or a Fed Ex Drop Location) and we worked out a solution. The end product is gorgeous, but I could probably get gorgeous from other locations. The customer service will bring me back over and over again to James Allen. I've seen sites saying that James Allen pays people to give positive reviews. Here's my email address.. firstname.lastname@example.com. Email me if you have any questions. I ASSURE YOU, I am not a paid representative of James Allen. Scott

Back then I was looking for an engagement ring & I had been talking to a lot of local shops as well as online shops. At the end I chose James Allen jewelry for this important occasion in my life & not for once I ever regretted it. As an overseas customer, it wasn't easy to purchase a high-value item online & over the other side of the globe. However, James Allen customer care team is the best that I have ever encountered, and I think that's the most you could ever ask for from any company. Either via online chat or email, their response came in fast, informative & to my best interest. 12-hour difference in time zone did not stop them from fulfilling their duties, & they even recommended me to take a cheaper but better looking diamond among my choices at the end. My fiance is pretty happy with the ring, & the diamond brightness was really top-notch. At the end, I would highly recommend James Allen to anyone who is ever looking for a piece of jewelry for important occasions in your life. Hope you will make the right decision as I did. Good luck!
D.H. 10/10 (Mar 02, 2015)
Everyone I dealt with at James Allen was spectacular. Garrett Jenkins & Lorraine Brantner were the two customer service representatives that I worked with and they were fantastic and very quick to respond to emails answering any questions that I had. I would highly recommend James Allen and their team, I felt very comfortable making my diamond purchase with them and am so happy with the results!

I purchased a diamond engagement ring from Jamesallen and could not be more satisfied. The first thing that drew me to JA was their 360 technology. I liked that I could see the exact diamonds they were selling at 20x magnification. After much research on diamonds I settled on an ideal cut princess diamond. The fire and brilliance of the diamond truly could not be captured on video! The diamond looks so much better in person! It's an experience. Through the ordering process I called JA twice and immediately spoke to two nice ladies who were very helpful. No long wait. I proposed to my lady a week ago, I knew she would say yes even if I given her a ring from a Cracker Jack box. I didn't want her to say yes, I wanted to leave her speechless. Thank you JA!
William B. 10/10 (Feb 28, 2015)
My fiance didn't want to have anything to do with choosing my ring, so after doing tons of research, i decided on James Allen. I loved that they have photos and 3D views of the actual diamonds they offer. Once i picked out my setting, it was time to choose a centre diamond. I agonized over what to get, as i had a fairly limited budget. The pave diamonds in the setting were G-H color, and i knew from my research that the centre stone should be similar in color. I found several suitable choices, but none of them grabbed me. Then i found a larger, beautiful J diamond. Because of the photos, i was able to see that it was eye-clean and very sparkly. Still, i was nervous about such a difference in color. I chatted with Proscovia several times, and she reassured me that my choice was the right one, even better than the other G-I diamonds with "better" ratings. I am so happy i followed my gut. I just received my ring and it is spectacular. Without seeing the pictures, i would have chosen one of the higher rated, smaller, stones, and received a lesser ring. You cannot go wrong if you choose James Allen!
Jennifer H. 10/10 (Feb 27, 2015)
I just want to thank the James Allen Custom Design team for doing such a wonderful job in making my ring. I am very happy with the result. All the specific criteria I wanted in the custom design were met. The team did an excellent job with the 3 prong setting for the pear diamond and the milgrain hand engraving is beautiful! Despite the delayed delivery, the ring arrived on time for a Valentine's Day proposal! Everyone has complimented how beautiful and well made the ring is. I would recommend James Allen to all my friends. Thank you so much for the great customer service at James Allen and fine workmanship by the Custom Design Team.
Regina Y. 10/10 (Feb 27, 2015)
The .70 carat round diamond, 18 carat yellow - gold, engagement - ring is beautiful and surpasses our expectations. The matching 18-carat wedding - band matches the engagement ring, perfectly. We are very happy with the purchase and the helpfulness we received from James Allen Jewelers, throughout the purchase and delivery-process.
Alyn G. 10/10 (Feb 27, 2015)
Thank you so much for the diamond of a lifetime. This was my 3rd engagement, so I have previous experience with purchasing diamond engagement rings. This was absolutely the best. The best quality at the best price. And the service was outstanding. I was helped by 3 on your staff. Tia Ryan, David Chiarenza and Reit (?). All 3 helped me narrow my choice to 3 diamonds, and I had requested an inspection, but decided to order one due to time constraints. Tia was very accommodating, and was able to process my order and I had the ring made and delivered in 3 days! Amazing! My fiancé absolutely loves the ring and diamond and can't stop looking at it! Thank you Tia, David, and Reit! Thank you James Allen!
Bryan I. 10/10 (Feb 26, 2015)
This was my first time buying fine jewelry online. I couldn't be happier. The ring turned out to be as advertised on their website. The customer service at James Allen is terrific. I needed the ring before the estimated delivery date so I simply called them and explained my issue. They expedited the process and had it to me exactly when I needed it. No hassle what so ever. Thank you so much for the beautiful engagement ring. Luke Dryden

My experience with Rediet Shiferaw was FLAWLESS. She was positively exceptional. She made the buying process very easy and smooth. She was very patient in describing the differences in the various diamonds and settings. She assisted in a thorough search to identify the perfect diamond and setting that fits my budget range. She also followed up on a timely basis to ensure any questions i had was answered. As a customer representative / sales rep, her assistance was one of the key reasons i went with JamesAllen to purchase the engagement ring. She exceeded my expectations on all levels. Thanks again for all your help Rediet and i'm glad my girlfriend will be happy with the final product once i surprise her in April.

I'm absolutely amaze how great the customer service was, not only was my order fulfilled in a timely fashion I even received it a day in advance. The quality of the diamond is impeccable, it was all worth it. I have nothing but praises for this company.
This was my purchase at James Allen, I was astonished how efficient their service come to my aid, when I have a question. I just received my package today, and I'm really satisfied. I would definitely recommend James Allen to all my friends.
Dave W
Everything about James Allen exceeded my expectations. Selection is enormous, customer service is friendly, shipping was incredibly quick New York to Orange county in less then 24 hours, and the ring, wow. Even nicer then the pictures make it look online. All of it top notch. So pleased!
It was a great experience. I have already recommended to my friends.Great Experience!!!! I will reccomend this site to anyone who is looking to purchase engagement rings, jewelry, or loose diamonds (like I did).
Chris J
Awesome site, service and quality jewelry.Awesome site and customer service
I loved being able to see the actual diamonds, and similar diamonds mounted in the settings i liked. They offered great prices and informative information for me to make my purchase with confidence.Enjoyed the detailed information on the products at the site. Found the process informative and enjoyable.
Fantastic customer service and product!Great!
Everything was perfect, no faults or complaints to report.We bought our engagement ring with JA and were impressed with the ring, very happy. We have now purchase our wedding band and wait to receive same shortly.
As a naive engagement ring buyer I had a number of questions and therefore called in to your customer service line. I spoke with Greg (I think) and he was extremely helpful guiding me through the actual purchase, getting everything verified with the bank and all. And also called to insure my delivery was received, which it was, and on time. I recently called in to customer service to schedule a new sizing of my fiancé's ring and specifically asked for Greg again. He helped with the sizing and organized all of the details to have everything taken care of. We are very happy with the service and quality we've received. Thank you Owen Barretti had a frustrating experience when trying to handle everything on my IPad. I have no idea whether that is a flaw on your end or not. But, I fought through it like the champion that I am and I found Greg who was a knight in shining armor! He not only convinced me to still purchase the engagement ring and diamond that I had become so fond of, but after telling me that there was NO WAY my ring could be delivered to me before i left for vacation, he convinced me to have it delivered to the residence I would be staying at during my vacation! He seems to have done a great job....but if I don't get that ring.... We have some serious yelping coming forward! I'll keep my peeps in the mix #pizrates
It would be helpful if the online site had an option for screw back earrings. I almost didn't order from James Allen because it didn't looke like you offered them. Also, I had to contact customer support to find out how to request the screw back option. It would be better if it was clearly listed as an option as part of tr selection of the earring.It would be easier if the option to add screw on backs to the earrings was an option instead of having to add a special note at checkout time. But, the chat option was very handy and Greg was able to help me with this issue. Also, my "wish list" was deleted several times during my shopping experience.
My Fiance loved her engagement ring. The process was very simple and support was there if you had any questions. I will be taking advantage of the resizing option but overall WE couldn't be happier with the product that we have received.
Customer Service, Price, powerful search engine, huge inventory and great variety of settings compensate the absence of a physical location. I'm very satisfied with the product I purchased and service from James AllenExcellent customer service. I had chat assistant (Haja) to help me throughout the selection process, narrow down options, made recommendations and explained the reasoning behind them.
All went great waiting to see how easy working with LJC will be and them adhering to the 6 month no interest promotionSo far so good, waiting to see the product before making my total evaluation
I love the fact you get to see each loose diamond in your inventory. So much better then any of the other big name online diamond stores.Absolutely love I get to see the diamonds at 20x magnification. I was able to get a much better look, bigger selection, better price, and I didn't have a salesman breathing down my neck pushing a particular diamond on me. I will always buy my diamonds from JamesAllen.com
I shopped James Allen for an engagement ring. The staff is incredibly helpful and polite. The ring arrived a day early and exceeded my expectations. I will always consider James Allen when shopping for diamond jewelry.
No one advised me of several issues and I got different answers from every single customer service rep I spoke with. This inconsistency is frustrating and not helpful when you are spending a lot of money on-line. There was a fear that I may not get the product I purchased.So far, all the services and customer support has been great. I am hoping that the shipping will be seamless, as I have requested it arrive at my workplace to ensure it will be a surprise.
Happy Customer
Ordered an engagement ring from James Allen. The photos and descriptions of the diamonds were top notch. The ring was shipped a little earlier than expected and looked amazing! Overall it was a great experience.Enjoyed the pictures and detailed descriptions of the diamonds.
I had a horrible experience with James Allen and will never buy anything again. My order was shipped late. My order arrived in the incorrect size. Customer service support is absolutely horrible. Everything about my experience with James Allen was a nightmare. I would rather sleep in a bed full of scorpions and rattle snakes than deal with James Allen every again.
James Allen is the best. They give you the ability to inspect the diamonds before purchase. It don't get any better.Excellent website!!
Carl J.
I bought a loose diamond.I was surprised when it arrived in this huge box. It was such a nice presentation with a special drawer for the paperwork and a microfiber cloth and a tool for holding the diamond. Overall the experience was great and you really knowwhat your buying with their really unique 3d viewing of the actual diamonds.similar diamonds in local shops were over $2000 more,so yes,I'm happy.
Excellent service and a greatproduct

This was my first time purchasing jewelries online and it was a scary one at first. But after making the purchase and saw how friendly customer support team was it makes me at rest. The package (Engagement ring) took 7 days from the day I made the order until the it steps at my door in Australia which was pretty fast. I cannot wait until I see the look on my fiance when she sees the ring... ;)
MozOmar (Oct 26, 2011)
The necklace was absolutely beautiful! JamesAllen.com representatives were extremely helpful and prompt. I would definitely use JamesAllen.com to buy products in the future.

The seller contacted me immediately after ordering to offer any assistance they could. The order shipped quickly and was exactly what I wanted.
Jacob (Oct 4, 2010)
A lot better than I expected! Competitor reviews were not that great and so I was speculative about even buying online, but their entire team made me feel very comfortable and they made this experience very special! Thanks JamesAllen.com!!!
Shopper (Jul 9, 2010)
Fast and friendly customer service along with a great selection make this store an excellent choice for your diamond jewelry needs! Customer service follows up with you until you've satisfactorily received the product, and delivery was exceptionally fast.
Micheal (Apr 23, 2010)
The service that James Allen provide before, during and after my purchase was simply awsome. They resize my ring at New York office a soon as I need it and all time they were so eficient. In fact i was so surprised about the beatifull ring, my fiance love it and the diamond was so beatiful better that a lot of option that I compared on New York jewerlies. Simply: EXELLENT
Shopper (Mar 8, 2010)
James Allen and Eileen were amazing in helping me get my ring and making sure I had it in time. The ring turned out perfect and I couldn't be happier.Eileen made sure that the ring was delivered ASAP. I only took 3 days from when I ordered to when I received the ring. The presentation box was gorgeous. Don't hesitate at all when ordering from James Allen.

Giant Bubbles
I haven't been posting much lately because we have been remodling and...well, I just didn't have anything new to share. I've tried to keep up with all the posts, but there are so many that it is almost overwhelming. It is so exciting to see so many new garden junkers! Anyway, someone had shared this inspiration picture, which started me thinking.
My brain immediately thought of bowling balls. It took me a long time to collect 19 bowing balls. I finally got them all painted and placed.
OH MY GOODNESS! I love it! Thats the most wonderful thing I have ever seen! Makes me want to jump right into the bath.
What are those pretty little plants? Bet that whole thing weights a ton. Lovely yard too.
Well Shysue, thats a heck of a return! Disappear all you want if you come back with more wonderful ideas.
ANOTHER FLIPPIN' "YOU ARE THE JUNK BOMB" AWARD (which is better than an Oscar as long as you stay on this Forum).
That is the coolest idea I have seen. I would also add other small sizes of balls to complete the realistic look!!!! Does your white paint have irredesant-opalistic-opaque paint coating it? (I just made that paint concoction up but it would be a cool effect. lol) "ATTENTION SHERWIN WILLIAMS- WE NEED THE AFORMENTIONED PAINT FORMULATED FOR ALL OF US BUBBLE MAKERS".
You did good!!!!!!
Dont mind me I'm having a Folgers moment.
O.K. now this is the cutest idea I have seen!!! I love the color of your tub and those bb's are a greattttttt idea!!!! What a great display!!! Thanks for sharing(-: 19 you say??? wow lets see...I have a about 10.....(-: I have the tub too.....(-:
W O W ZZZZZZZZZERS ! ! ! ! x 19 ! ! !
That is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat !!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the pics ! & Cool Idea !
A M A Z I N G the artistic abilities you see here
on the GJ !!!!
God Bless !
I just wanna take a BUBBLE BATH NOW ! ! ! !teehee
in the house... of course...
not the yard...
First (ridicious)thoughts: Singing OL!
Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
In the wine (in the wine)
Make me happy (make me happy)
Make me feel fine (make me feel fine).
Oh, guess not, singing OL revised version:
"Giant bubbles (giant bubbles)...
in the tub (in the tub)"
Make me happy (make me happy)...
Rub-a-dub-dub (rub-a-dub-dub)!!!
Great idea! Lots of work! Lots of back-breaking work! Great backyard GJ art!!!...shysue!Jeanne S. :-0
Placing those balls must have been rough on the fingers!! My son lived in house where he had that color(bright Royal Blue) old claw tub & they had the cutest bathroom with it. He painted the feet gold too!! I like this use & don't have to clean it too often!! Adorable, are the flowers candytuft or alyssum? Bet it looks wonderful on a moonlight night also!! Jan
WOW...now that is something to behold. I've saved the photo to add to our Misc inspiration album.
Collecting and painting 19 bowling balls was pretty darn ambitious of you. And certainly rewarding from the looks of the result. Way to go!!
I love that old tub, and new paint job on it.
hugs, Karen
Thanks all of you for your kind words. It makes me think it was worth it. WHEW! Yes, the flowers are allysum. I thought they looked like tiny bubbles. LOL I had the tub already filled with dirt from last year. Even with the dirt, I still had to use 19 balls and it could probably really use a couple more. I got the BBs from yard sales, thrift stores, and from a bowling alley where I hounded the poor manager for old balls until he finally gave me enough to finish it. This is what the tub looked like in previous years. I got tired of trying to fill it up with flowers.
Wow! Great bubbles...but I like it when you had it filled with plants, too!
I just came upon a clawfoot tub and am drooling over just the thought of owning it. It's in fairly good shape...will need a paint job and costs $100...how does that compare to prices in your area???
dang and I passed up a claw foot tub, cuz it was too heavy for inside the bathroom.
I wasn't thinking in terms of out in the yard!
fabulous...I'd thought of regular tubs for plants but nixed it, cuz they're too plain but this is top drawer cool!
it's also worthy of a "set as background" on the computer screen.
Oh my goodness! As soon as I saw the pic I told my husband, "Wow! This person is a real go-getter!!!". I love it!!!!
I'm completely amazed the tub feet aren't sinking into the ground. The weight of the tub alone seems like it would sink them, but add 19 bowling balls and WOW LOL :o)
Love it!!! Great job!
Thanks everybody! I haven't been over here in a long time. I just thought I would pop in and see what all I've missed, and saw that this bubbles post was back up. Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. I am always looking for ideas to improve things. I like the idea of adding smaller balls for a more realistic look. I keep expecting the tub to sink into the ground all the way to China with all the weight that is in it. If anyone does get a tub, please post a picture of what you do with it.

"interesting Story"
Wonderful Twist on talents
that it but the "mob" ideal in a new light a gave it a wonderfully wicked twist
"great review and food for thought"
it had been awhile since last reading the books, currently published, it was great as a refresher on all the little plots and possible outcome of future events. Plus it broke down some of the more prominent characters into there smaller parts.
"if just wondering or think you may have Dyslexia"
I would because it helped to know that it is not all bad. Everything is a struggle but it, showed with some creative thinking and other tools dreams can be accomplished.
the references to other resources and ideas given
"Would not have thought"
That it was a murder mystery always asking whodunnit
This story, keep both my boys and I guessing on who the real murder was and when we did find out, not a one was right.
The butler, having been forced into the Game unknowingly and then being marked forever after.
We did listen to it in all one sitting, because the time fit into our travel plans and gave us all something to pause the play and talk about when we made stops.

Museum celebrates 25 yearsPublished 12:18am Sunday, October 6, 2013
The familiar Conestoga wagon jutted out in to the street. Music was being played and the aroma of food was in the air. Canopies blanketed the grassy area in front of the Lawrence County Museum as vendors sold their goods to curious onlookers.
The Lawrence County Museum turned 25 years old on Saturday and the aforementioned was all in honor of the milestone.
"It's a neat day today," Debbie Rogers, museum trustee, said. "It's early. We are really just getting started."
The 25th Anniversary Party Bean Dinner/Fundraiser featured live music by the gospel group The Ruggles Family and Us, Kentucky Memories and the Country Knights. There were also museum tours, Lawrence County pottery and the gift shop was open for business.
Vendors Silver-U-Wear, Creations by Emily, Thornton Custom Cabinets, Red Shoe Gallery and Scentsy were showcasing and selling their products as beans, cornbread, fried potatoes, hot dogs and desserts were served.
The event lasted from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and all proceeds go to the museum's building fund.

I have some small sets of data from the database (mysql) who are seldom updated.
Basically 3 or 4 small bi dimensional arrays (50-200 items).
This is the ideal case for memcached, but I'm on a shared server and can't install anything.
I only have PHP and MySQL.
I'm thinking about storing the arrays on file and regenerate the file via a cron job every 2-3 hours.
Any better idea or suggestion about this approach?
What's the best way to store those arrays?

Rated 5 out of 5 Great feature-set and quality, super performance Excellent washer, with a great feature-set. The steam wash option works great, and the HE features are wonderful. Auto-sense makes sure your clothes come out dry in the most optimum time. Definitely recommend. March 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by longoak Huge Capacity The dryer drum is huge. You can dry bed comforter with no problems. It is expensive and takes some getting used to. Haven't figured out the steam yet, but I'm working on it. January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marilyn 919 So far, so good I love the quietness of this dryer. It has worked fine for almost everything that I have dried. I have found that on occasion I have to add a little more time for drying the clothes. But that is an easy fix. I do wish that I could just add 5 minutes instead of having to manually select the minimum of 10 minutes on the manual function. I have not tried the steam function so far, but looking forward to using that feature. I love how the towels come out so fluffy. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by oldunclepete It's a keeper! A leading consumer mag had this on their list. Bought it at a sears with a new washer (saved a bunch buying them together). Does everything as advertised. The steam cycle took a couple of tries to learn how to use it. But all in all if this isn't what you want, nothing is. It's definitely a Mercedes of dryers. I'm a 60 yr old and if my better half likes it, you will too. February 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by lbcwedding efficient drying this is my first lg drying mashine and im happy with it so far. i bought this as as set with my washing machine (wt5680hva). love the look. im still learning how to properly use all the features, like the steam drying features. but for all normal drying, this machine is the best ive ever had. quiet, drys well , drys fast and efficient. ive only had this since 11/2014, but so far so great!

I was sceptical however it was rated at the top by several places. they were not wrong this dryer is perfect for us. It has so many options. I don't even know what half of them do.

Ohio man arrested for soliciting sex on Facebook from 12-year-old
DAYTON, Ohio - A southwest Ohio man has been arrested for soliciting sex from a 12-year-old boy on Facebook.
The Dayton Daily News ( http://bit.ly/19tC3sz ) reports Dayton police arrested 19-year-old Tyler Mitchell on Tuesday at a branch of the Dayton Metro Library where he was allegedly communicating with the boy online.
Police Sgt. Larry Tolpin told the newspaper the boy's father assumed his son's identity online when he became aware of the situation. The boy's father contacted police when during the conversation Mitchell allegedly propositioned to have sex.
Tolpin says officers went to the library and found Mitchell using a public access computer with his Facebook account still on the screen.
Mitchell is been held at the Montgomery County jail in an initial charge of importuning. He has no attorney on record.

I'm telling you people: She is here, being protected.
God is non denominational. God is not of the torah or the bible, or the quran. Those are all guides, and there are many roads towards God.
A few decades ago, the US government received a device from our friends in the galaxy. It was provided to us to help us, and to provide us with answers and to alert us to when our God arrived again. The person was found 30 years ago after her psychic abilities began alerting tptb, making it rain in rooms, and when she began channeling spirits as a child. When the device was synched up to her, they began receiving the readings.
She has been protected her entire life, and has worked very hard in trying to help humanity connect with God within ourselves. She is going public in a few months.

Wow wow wow. Hold there a minute.
There is only one way. One Living God.
"Im the the truth, the way and the life"
The Judaism/Christianity is essentially the same, with a few exceptions. Im talking about the ortodox semite jews, the true jews. Like how I call true christians the ones that follow the KJV of the Bible. I know that every other denomination of jew and christian are deceptions. The weight of millions of deaths during different points on the history tells me that. But the Bible itself states that the jews are the sons of God, they do have the zeal, but the doctrine is off in some points. So its essentially the same thing, wich exception that the semite jews are ok to keep on their ways, since we know that before the end of the time they will awake.
Now Quran is clearly designed religion to make war against Christianity. This is basic premise at this point.
We might discuss wether or not the False Prophet will arrive from the Muslim world or not, but thats about the limits of your comparison.
Ok, I just read "device from friends in the galaxy". Ok, you are totally off, sorry, Im not a feather on the wind anymore.

VIEWS: 6 PAGES: 1 CATEGORY: Change of Control Agreement POSTED ON: 11/14/2009
EXHIBIT 10.34 DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS FOR UGI UTILITIES, INC. CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS Named Executives Employed by UGI Utilities, Inc.. Messrs. Chaney, Barney and Dingman each have an agreement with UGI Utilities (the "Agreement") which provides certain benefits in the event of a change of control of Utilities or of UGI. The Agreements operate independently of the UGI Severance Plan, continue through July 2004, and are automatically extended in one-year increments thereafter unless, prior to a change of control, the Company terminates an Agreement. In the absence of a change of control, each Agreement will terminate when, for any reason, the executive terminates his employment with Utilities or its subsidiaries. A change of control is generally deemed to occur if a change of control of UGI, as defined above, occurs or if: (i) UGI and its subsidiaries fail to own more than fifty percent of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities, (ii) the Company is reorganized, merged or consolidated with or into, or sells all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation in a transaction in which former shareholders of the Company do not own more than 50% of the outstanding common stock and the combined voting power, respectively, of the then outstanding voting securities of the surviving or acquiring corporation after the transaction, or (iii) the Company is liquidated or dissolved. Upon a change of control, the Agreement provides for an immediate cash payment equal to the market value of any pending target award under Utilities' long-term compensation plan. Severance benefits are payable under the Agreements if there is a termination of the executive's employment without cause at any time within three years after a change of control. In addition, following a change of control, the executive may elect to terminate his or her employment without loss of severance benefits in certain specified contingencies, including termination of officer status; a significant adverse change in authority, duties, responsibilities or compensation; the failure of the Company to comply with and satisfy any of the terms of the Agreement; or a substantial relocation or excessive travel requirements. An executive who is terminated with rights to severance compensation under an Agreement will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 1.0 or 1.5 times his average total cash remuneration for the preceding five calendar years. If the severance compensation payable under the Agreement, either alone or together with other payments to an executive, would constitute "excess parachute payments," as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the executive will also receive an amount to satisfy the

New Learning, New Society
New Today
Various authors, GitHub, Mar 26, 2015
So as soon as I get a handle on things, there's a new thing. Today's it's this: "CMI-5, a soon-to-be standard which is also conformant to the Experience API (xAPI)." Sigh. This is a link to the GitHub version of the specification. The document basically defines "LMS Course Structure Import/Export [and] LMS course definition as it pertains to runtime data used by Learning Activities."
Unattributed, SourceForge Resources, Mar 26, 2015
I'm not enamoured of Creative Commons's recent initiative to license 'open business practices' as outlined here, because it seems to legitimize the nidea that business practices can be licensed, which seems wrong to me. But I guess it's becoming a thing, which is why it now becomes relevant to link to this item from SourceForge (I don't know whether the URL will work for you; it's part of an email campaign. The direct link is here and I don't know whether that will work either - it's all very private-like - or you can just grab the PDF directly from here and skip the marketing pitch, and if they complain I'll explain about the concept of SourceForge and sharing and all that). "Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 (BPMN2) is one of the best things to happen in business process management in a long time - and many people and organizations who could benefit from BPMN have yet to give it a try." It makes me wonder who is behind all this and what they hope to achieve.
Alyssia Fogarty, University Affairs, Mar 26, 2015
As a low-income student when I was a student, I can personally attest to this: "paying for event admissions, society membership fees, travel costs for conferences and for food and drinks at informal social gatherings. The second kind of success-cost is the loss of income or opportunity when there's inadequate time to both earn a living wage and earn extracurricular and volunteer experience, in other words, 'time' costs." I earned money every weekend working at the 7-Eleven in Cedarbrae - but that meant I wasn't participating in weekend events. It underscored for me how much the real purpose of university lies in creating connections and building networks.
Mary Cullinane, Wired, Mar 26, 2015
I long ago accused Wired of selling out to advertisers, and this column (not coincidentally authored by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Chief Content Officer) does not dissuade me of that criticism. Here is the argument, in one sentence: "If we do not get educational content right, students are less likely to gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and careers." If this were true, nobody would have succeeded before academic publishers came onto the scene. But in fact, almost any content will do if learners are motivated, and no content will do if learners are not motivated. And the reason why free can work and is working is that it's created by and for people who are motivated. That's why it's enough of a threat to an academic publisher that they felt compelled to write an op-ed in one of their captive publications.
Luigi Canali De Rossi, Robin Good, Mar 26, 2015
Robin Good is back and posts "I have put together and just updated a full categorised mini-directory of the best tools to find new, quality content, in just about any area you are interested in." Good list. I know many of the applications.
Brit Toven-Lindsey, Robert A. Rhoads, Jennifer Berdan Lozano, Internet, Higher Education, Mar 26, 2015
There are days I wish I had focused more on making gRSShopper a commercial product. Then it would be more widely used and would be included in studies like this which look at the pedagogies employed by different MOOC platforms. It would probably have changed the conclusion, which (like so many other studies) reads "given
the tendency for the pedagogical strategies of MOOC instructors to be tied to objectivist views of knowledge [and] relying primarily on one-directional relationships between instructor-based knowledge and students as recipients, as both constructivist theories and critical pedagogy highlight, is hardly conducive to the transformative forms of engaged learning seen as most valuable to encouraging both active learning and active democratic citizenship." Good paper, though. Via Grainne Conole, Facebook.
Kim Cofino, always learning, Mar 26, 2015
Kim Cofino shares elements of her current keynote at the ECIS technology conference in Munich. "When we learn with technology the way we live with technology, the classroom can be just as relevant and engaging as our everyday digital interactions," she argues. She surveys many of the elements - mobile, customization, social - that support this. And she says "We know students are also readily engaged by media rich experiences... So, why are we often asking students to produce two dimensional paper products (posters, reports, magazines, whatever the case may be), when we can encourage them to create multimedia and interactive demonstrations of their understanding?"
Eric Hellman, Go To Hellman, Mar 26, 2015
Via Audrey Watters comes this post from Eric Hellman showing that most research journals allow advertising networks to spy on their readers. "I'm particularly concerned about the medical journals that participate in advertising networks," writes Hellman. "Imagine that someone is researching clinical trials for a deadly disease. A smart insurance company could target such users with ads that mark them for higher premiums. A pharmaceutical company could use advertising targeting researchers at competing companies to find clues about their research directions."

About Stephen Downes
Stephen Downes is a senior researcher for Canada's National Research Council and a leading proponent of the use of online media and services in education. As the author of the widely-read OLDaily online newsletter, Downes has earned international recognition for his leading-edge work in the field of online learning. He developed some of Canada's first online courses at Assiniboine Community College in Brandon, Manitoba. He also built a learning management system from scratch and authored the now-classic "The Future of Online Learning".
At the University of Alberta he built a learning and research portal for the municipal sector in that province, Munimall, and another for the Engineering and Geology sector, PEGGAsus. He also pioneered the development of learning objects and was one of the first adopters and developers of RSS content syndication in education. Downes introduced the concept of e-learning 2.0 and with George Siemens developed and defined the concept of Connectivism, using the social network approach to deliver open online courses to three thousand participants over two years.
Downes has been offering courses in learning, logic, philosophy both online and off since 1987, has 135 articles published in books, magazines and academic journals, and has presented his unique perspective on learning and technology more than 250 times to audiences in 17 countries on five continents. He is a habitual photographer, plays darts for money, and can be found at home with his wife Andrea and four cats in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
Stephen Downes travaille pour le Conseil national de recherches du Canada, où il a servi en tant que chercheur principal, basé à Moncton, au Nouveau-Brunswick, depuis 2001. Affilié au Groupe des technologies de l'apprentissage et de la collaboration, Institut de technologie de l'information, Downes est spécialisé dans les domaines de l'apprentissage en ligne, les nouveaux médias, la pédagogie et la philosophie.
Downes est peut-être mieux connu pour son bulletin quotidien, OLDaily, qui est distribué par Internet, courriel et RSS à des milliers d'abonnés à travers le monde. Il a publié de nombreux articles à la fois en ligne et sur papier incluant The Future of Online Learning (1998), Learning Objects (2000), Resource Profiles (2003), et E-Learning 2.0 (2005). Il est un conférencier populaire, apparaissant à des centaines de manifestations à travers le monde au cours des quinze dernières années.
Vision Statement
I want and visualize and aspire toward a system of society and learning where each person is able to rise to his or her fullest potential without social or financial encumberance, where they may express themselves fully and without reservation through art, writing, athletics, invention, or even through their avocations or lifestyle.
Where they are able to form networks of meaningful and rewarding relationships with their peers, with people who share the same interests or hobbies, the same political or religious affiliations - or different interests or affiliations, as the case may be.
This to me is a society where knowledge and learning are public goods, freely created and shared, not hoarded or withheld in order to extract wealth or influence. This is what I aspire toward, this is what I work toward.

EWG's investigations highlight the inherent risks of the current boom in drilling and hydraulic fracturing operations and empower citizens and lawmakers to work for better regulation.
If oil and gas companies were injecting potentially toxic fluids into the ground near your home or your children's schoolyard, wouldn't you want to know about it?Read More
President Obama's State of the Union message calling for accelerating natural gas production is "a serious threat to our air, land and water," Environmental Working Group president Ken Cook said today.Read More
An Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled that a 2013 law put a stop to a lawsuit designed to force the state of California to examine the environmental effects of the highly controversial oil and gas drilling process called fracking.Read More
A team of scientists using portable methane detectors reported last week that it has detected 5,893 leaks of methane, the main component of natural gas, from gas utility lines in Washington D.C.Read More
As a mom of an eight-year-old and a six-year old, I can't escape Disney. But thankfully, my little princesses haven't yet been exposed to the company's pro-fracking campaign, "Rockin' in Ohio."Read More
State regulators have confirmed more than 100 cases of well water contamination caused by oil and gas drilling over the past five years, an Associated Press investigation found.Read More
The California Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources has today issued draft rules that will, for the first time ever, regulate all forms of oil and gas well drilling in the state, including the controversial practices of hydraulic fracturing and acidization.Read More
It is essential to take fully into account the long-term risks and costs to health, environment and communities of all energy resources and to adopt policies based on least cost to consumers and minimal risk.
Toxic "fracking" fluids that spilled into a Kentucky creek after they were used to drill four natural gas wells were the cause of a major fish kill that included a threatened species, a new federal study has concluded.Read More
Legislation passed today by California legislators would take important steps toward improving oversight of potentially dangerous methods of drilling for oil or natural gas or stimulating production, but it would give too much leeway to state officials trying to protect the public from the potential environmental and health risks associated with the controversial oil and gas extraction method known as fracking.Read More
Putting "clean coal," gas, nuclear, and unsustainable biomass under the "clean" umbrella is a triumph of rhetoric over reality. Nowhere does the "Clean Energy Standard" under discussion in Washington set goals for reducing dependence on coal, natural gas or nuclear and increasing reliance on truly clean, renewable energy sources.
The energy industry spends millions of dollars on lobbying and public relations to fend off pressure for necessary changes to their core businesses. The way to fight back is for local groups, grassroots organizations and concerned citizens to band together to show that dirty energy is no longer acceptable.
Read More
Alarmed by current U.S. energy policy, 60 Americans from all over the country came together in 2012 and earlier this year in Cambridge, Mass., to explore alternatives to the dangerous and misleading course being taken by industry and the nation's political leaders. In three days of intense discussion, the group came up with the "American Clean Energy Agenda," nine principles to put us on a course toward truly renewable, non-polluting energy.Read More
Still skeptical that underground disposal of gas drilling-related waste water in so-called "injection wells" can trigger earthquakes?Read More
The "fracking" boom that in recent years has flooded the United States with enormous new supplies of natural gas is now washing up on the shores of the United Kingdom, and with it concerns for the safety of that nation's drinking water.Read More
A new study has added powerful new support to the growing evidence that deep underground injections of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing or other drilling activity has made some areas of the U.S. vulnerable to tremors triggered by large earthquakes thousands of miles away.Read More
Amid widespread fears that the boom in "fracking" for natural gas poses a growing array of environmental threats, some members of Congress are making a new effort to reverse a 2005 law that exempted the industry from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act.Read More
As we welcome a new U.S. Secretary of Energy, we want followers of Enviroblog to know more about EWG's partnership with the Civil Society Institute and our work in the energy field, especially when it comes to grassroots organizing and mobilization. Alarmed by current U.S. energy policy, 60 Americans from grassroots organizations all over the country came together in the spring of 2012 and again in 2013 in Cambridge, Mass., to explore alternatives to the dangerous and misleading course taken by industry and the nation's political leaders. In days of intense discussion, they came up with the "American Clean Energy Agenda," nine principles to put us on a course toward truly renewable, non-polluting energy. In this, the first of a series, we focus on Principle 1:
"We must generate the political will to create a sustainable healthy energy future by 2030 by accelerating the phase-out of nuclear power, natural gas, coal and industrial biomass and driving a grand transition to efficient use of renewable, non-polluting resources."Read More
Earlier this month, a New York appellate court upheld a lower court ruling that cities and towns in New York state have the right to ban drilling and hydraulic fracturing for oil and natural gas. According to news accounts, more than 100 communities in the state have passed bans or moratoriums on the practice.Read More

Pruning a Cordyline Terminalis?
AnneCecilia z5 MIMarch 27, 2010
I have a beautiful Cordyline Terminalis 'Red Sister' that was a gift from my son a few years back. It is apparently very happy being an indoor plant in winter and an almost-outdoor plant on my screened in porch in summer which rejuvenates that wonderful hot pink in the leaves. It even blooms for me each winter. It now has some stalks that are 3' tall (above the pot) and I've read it can reach double that height - not something I have or want to make room for! Will it tolerate being pruned?

HP offers a solid collaborative environment, casual dress code, and work-from-home or wherever is most convenient policy. There are good opportunities for advancement IF you have good connections in the company. Marketing yourself in this giant company requires all the top skills you need when competing in the World Wide Web.Cons
There are some good managers and then some really awful managers. I have had both. Do your homework before you accept a position and find out what others who work for or have previously worked for the manager think of him or her. You have opportunities to educate yourself in your position but that training is completely up to you to develop, advocate and execute. If you are in a position remotely associated with sales, expect that there will be periods when you have no life outside of work. The best you can hope for is to have a manager and co-workers who understand the need for give-and-take and are lenient about time off when personal needs outweigh career needs.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Become crisp in your own thought about what HP should be when it grows up. Are we a hardware/software vendor, a technology outsourcer or a professional consulting services business? Whatever we are, decide and then communicate clearly to employees, the market and influencers. We are at an inflection point in IT history. HP has one chance to get this right.No opinion of CEO

How one brand proved that transparency and data can be a catalyst for deeper and more relevant conversations and experiences.
While data and collaborative filtering have been used successfully by brands for years to sell more products based on those who have made similar purchases, rarely have brands used data to showcase the interests of a community to build or strengthen a connection. Starwood Preferred Guests' (SPG) recent email "SPG and you…a year in review" is a great example of how things are changing and how transparency and data can be a catalyst for deeper and more relevant conversations and experiences.
At first glance it looked like so many typically emails received around the holidays from brands - a thank you to members for their loyalty throughout the year. But SPG's communication stood out once opened by providing an insider glimpse into the community's activities in the form of an infographic. The email included a graphical representation of member/community activity including:
By sharing its knowledge of the community and highlighting member benefits, charitable contributions, and activity highlights, SPG shared the knowledge it had about its community, normally reserved for internal constituents, externally with the members themselves. In doing so, SPG is raising the bar for all brands by showing how using data in a transparent way can motivate and inspire the community as well as strengthen the connection a brand can have with its members. However, the real test will be to watch where SPG will go from here. How will it evolve its communications, community efforts, and experiences in the years ahead? It seems to me the natural progression from here will be to build upon the efforts by dialing up member recognition and implementing badges for key activities to recognize its most active members. This of course will also serve to inspire and perhaps motivate others to travel more - and hopefully to use an SPG property. Finally, I would expect to see more relevant communications aligned to the community's interests and better community integration within marketing programs/efforts to build and acquire new members more aggressively. A great way to end 2011 and begin the new year. Keep up the good work SPG.

Timber Framing for the Rest of Us
A Guide to Contemporary Post and Beam Construction
by Rob Roy
Many natural building methods rely upon the use of post and beam frame structures that are then in-filled with straw, cob, cordwood, or more conventional wall materials. But traditional timber framing employs the use of finely crafted jointing and wooden pegs, requiring a high degree of craftsmanship and training, as well as much time and expense. However, there is another way...
Timber Framing for the Rest of Us describes the timber framing methods used by most contractors, farmers, and owner-builders, methods that use modern metal fasteners, special screws, and common sense building principles to accomplish the same goal in much less time. And while there are many good books on traditional timber framing, this is the first to describe in depth these more common fastening methods. The book includes everything an owner-builder needs to know about building strong and beautiful structural frames from heavy timbers, including:
- the historical background of timber framing
- crucial design and structural considerations
- procuring timbers -- including different woods, and recycled materials
- foundations, roofs, and in-filling consdierations
- the common fasteners.
A detailed case study of a timber frame project from start to finish completes this practical and comprehensive guide, along with a useful appendix of span tables and a bibliography.
Highly illustrated, this book enables 'the rest of us' to build like the professionals and will appeal to owner-builders, contractors and architects alike.
