25 "My So-Called Life" Moments That Will Make You Relive Your Teenage Years
Angela Chase is your adolescence. Welcome to a day in your 16-year-old life.
1. First and foremost: you hate everyone.
2. And all of a sudden, things are weird with your dad.
3. And this is the reason. You both pretend they don't exist.
4. If only Sunday night could last forever. The thought of school puts a pit in your stomach.
5. Here's your room. It's only a matter of time before your mother forces you to pick it up.
6. If you happened to get into bad outfit, it could mean the end of the world…and that feeling of absolutely hating yourself.
7. Ugh. Parents. Always talking about money and making you feel like a failure.
8. How you get through your day. You don't actually know anything about the object of your affection. But you make up a lot of stuff that makes you like him even more.
9. Even though you hated school, there was always that one cool and inspiring teacher. (The one you promised to always keep in touch with and then never did.)
10. Remember how you also spent at least 15 percent of the school day applying lipstick in the bathroom?
11. Ugh. I can't even.
12. So much inner pain and confusion.
13. School was tolerable when you had best friend moments like this.
14. Why were you always SO tired? (And if this wasn't you, this was certainly entertaining and the inevitable cause of snickering.)
15. Your "cool" voice.
16. This face. So much of the time.
17. The world is ending.
18. No one understands.
19. Just kidding! You have music and a bedroom and you dance in it…like no one is watching.
20. You have these moments of freedom. Life! Your life! Freeeee!
21. And holding hands. OHMYGOD, holding hands. You could have an orgasm from palm-to-palm contact.
22. But then you're back here. You hate your mother.
23. But then there are these special moments of understanding. You love your mother!
24. No, actually you REALLY, REALLY hate your mother.
25. Until you feel really bad about the way you treated her. And no matter what, you can always be a little girl again.

'Supernatural': Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles take their pants off for the causeAdd to Favorites | Supernatural
"Supernatural" fans got the show nominated for two People's Choice Awards this season, and series stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles take that very, very seriously. Check out the video they shot on set to thank the fans and shamelessly encourage you to keep voting.
(And when we say shameless, we mean shameless.)
To vote for "Supernatural," head over to the People's Choice Award site. If you tweet your vote through the site, your friends can easily vote as well, just by re-tweeting you! Oh, the wonders of social media.
The People's Choice Awards tape in Los Angeles on Jan. 11, but in the meantime, you can catch the final episode of "Supernatural" for 2011 tonight (Dec. 2) on The CW. The previous episode left us with a doozy of a cliffhanger -- the Winchesters' only remaining friend, Bobby (Jim Beaver), took a bullet to the head when they angered a Leviathan.
In this week's emotional mid-season finale, an ailing Bobby's life flashes before his eyes as Sam and Dean do their best to beat the clock. Tune in at 9 p.m. EST.

Notable Achievements
Award-winning technologies a potential goldmine for medical, manufacturing fields
An improved cancer treatment and a new way to manufacture titanium parts are among the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory innovations that received international acclaim this year from R&D Magazine. Known as the "Oscars of Invention," the R&D 100 awards honor the top 100 scientific and technical products and advancements worldwide each year.
In total, PNNL has won 71 R&D 100 awards since it first began submitting entries in 1969. The Laboratory and its partners received this year's awards for five technologies.
- Cesium-131 Brachytherapy Seed. This tiny seed, used to treat prostate and other cancers, delivers a highly targeted therapeutic dose of radiation to tumors quickly and with potentially fewer side effects than other treatment options. PNNL shared this award with IsoRay Medical, Inc., of Richland, Washington, which developed the technology with assistance from PNNL. A public company, IsoRay Medical is manufacturing the seeds and distributing them to hospitals and other medical centers nationwide.
- SIM. This surface-induced mineralization technique allows drug-enhanced calcium-phosphate coatings to be applied to orthopedic implants and medical devices, enhancing bone-bonding and reducing bacterial growth. The technology has been licensed to Bacterin of Belgrade, Montana.
- When fully commercialized, the product is expected to help the body accept foreign objects like knee implants or catheters, while also inhibiting post-surgical infection. Last year, Fortune magazine featured the technology and Bacterin in its 25 Breakout Companies list of entrepreneurial firms.
- e-RESS. This technology uses supercritical fluids and electric fields to deposit nanoparticle-size coatings onto the surfaces of medical devices such as cardiovascular stents. Therapeutic agents may also be encapsulated in the coatings, allowing for more consistent drug delivery and reducing the need for replacement surgeries caused by the buildup of tissue. PNNL shares this award with Micell Technologies of Raleigh, North Carolina, which licensed the technology this year for use with medical devices.
- MilliWave Thermal Analyzer. This patent-pending instrument uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic radiation to measure the temperature, amount of energy emitted, and physical changes of materials, processes and systems in real time. PNNL shares this award with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Savannah River National Laboratory in Aiken, South Carolina.
- Ti MIM. This technique for titanium metal injection molding that enables production of high-quality titanium metal parts for biomedical, aviation and automotive industries at lower cost, higher production rates and better quality than existing production processes. The Ti MIM process was licensed to a Fortune 500 chemical company this year.
PNNL physicist wins presidential science award
In July 2006, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Yanwen Zhang, a materials physicist, received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. This is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on outstanding scientists and engineers beginning their independent career. Zhang was also presented with the Department of Energy Office of Science Early Career Scientists and Engineers award. Both awards recognize her extensive research in materials physics—most notably in ion-beam technologies.
Over a decade ago, the National Science and Technology Council created this award program to honor and support the extraordinary achievements of young professionals within the science and technology fields. Zhang was nominated by PNNL and DOE for this award, which also entails a five-year funding research commitment on behalf of DOE.
Zhang holds two doctoral degrees—one in engineering physics from Lund University in Sweden and another in materials science from Beijing Normal University in China. Currently working in the DOE Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory in Richland, Washington, her research focuses on the interaction of energetic ions with solid materials. Her original and innovative method for measuring the energy loss of particles as they pass through materials solved the historical problem of inaccurate and inefficient measurements. Zhang's successfully implemented time-of-flight spectroscopy process was a significant scientific breakthrough. Her discoveries have potential impact in nuclear power, national security, nuclear waste management and energy-efficient electronics.
With more than 100 publications and several ongoing research collaborations, Zhang is widely recognized for her significant contributions to the scientific community. She also is active in several professional societies, has received other science and academic awards and is involved in educational and community service activities.

I've kept a log on this site for over a year now and since I've decided to rededicate myself to the cause I've decided a new log would be helpful. I've tried every means of training from 5x5, to westside, to 5.3.1 to Defrancos WSFSB and Built Like a Badass. All were good but I think they were all too advanced for me. I would lose interest and step away from the gym only to come back and try it all over again. I have a lot of things going on in my life so my time is very limited and most of the time that meant the gym ahd to be pushed to the side.
However I woke up a few days ago completely upset at the way I look, the way I feel, and the direction my body and my mind have been going in. So I've made a decision to, again, get myself strong and fit. The one thing about doing all the training options is that I know what I like in each and can eventually incorporate them. However my main focus needs to be dropping pounds and getting strong. The best approach, I believe, is to start with the Starting Strength programming. I can move on from there once the time arrives.
To begin with I have set up goals for myself. I took the idea from another log on this site, so credit for this goes there. They are as follows.
Short Term Training Goals (within 3 months)
1. 660 lb working weight total on the squat, bench, and deadlift for 3x5 Goal Met 04/29/10
2. Squat 225 for 3x5 -Goal met 04/24/10
3 Bench 185 for 3x5
4 Deadlift 250 for 1x5 Goal met 04/29
5. Military Press 115 for 3x5 Goal met 05/01/2010
Medium Term Training Goals (within 9 months)
1. 725 lb working weight total on the squat, bench, and deadlift for 3x5
2. Squat 245 for 3x5 Goal met 04/29/10
3. Bench 205 for 3x5
4. Deadlift 275 for 1x5Goal met 05/04/10
5. Military Press 125 for 3x5 Goal Met 05/11/10
Long Term Training Goals (12+ months)
1. 820 lb working weight total on the squat, bench, and deadlift for 3x5
2. 280 lb squat for 3x5Goal met 05/09/10
3. 230 lb bench for 3x5
4. 310 lb deadlift for 1x5
5. Military Press 145 for 3x5
Weight Loss goals
Short Term - Weight under 240
Medium Term- Weigh under 233
Long Term - Weight under 220
I know the majority of these goals may be easy to obtain, however I can always reset my goals when that time arive. Tonight is my first training session. I will update this log later.
Thanks you.

Belgian beers and fries
What we say:
In addition to more than a hundred brands of Belgian beer, their kitchen serves offerings from a meat-centric menu of steaks, kebabs, sausages, stews, fried mussels, and burgers. The meats are perfectly cooked, portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and side dishes like Belgian-style fries are so good they could stand alone as a meal in themselves.
As the beers are imported, they are a little pricey, but for those on a tighter budget, BeerLao is available. Though you'd be crazy to come here and not try the Belgian specialties, they also offer Lao salads, curries, and a traditional Lao tasting menu. The staff and regular clientele are a friendly, chatty bunch, and on occasion, local expat bands will perform for the customers.

什麼是Floatilla? 係六年前, 只不過係幾個朋友"吹雞"一齊出海船上活動. 大家自己租船, 自己準備酒, 約埋一個地方出發. 結果有成千位同志朋志響應,組成10-15艘船.每一艘都代表著同志色彩. 朋友一個識一個, 音樂, 游水,認識新朋友, 同志間無分你我.
船隻中有男同志的船, 更有女同志, 酒吧, 學院, 同志友好的朋友等等…
係2010 香港男同志先生選舉也有參與Floatilla, 我地艘船命名為<白老虎>
It's Floatilla time!
Yes, this is the sixth year for Hong Kong's gay party on the water and it is a go! So mark your calendar, for this year's event is set for October 16, 2011.
What is Floatilla? Well six years ago we just blew the whistle and said let's throw a party on the water. You grab your junk boat, I'll grab mine, and we'll meet at the same place. And together, we ended up with a thousand guys and gals on 10-15 boats on the water. Each with it's own wonderful representation of our gay community. Friends brought friends together to hang out on junk boats, move to some music and swim, meet new friends and enjoy the diversity, the volume and power of our community as one. We have boats representing gay social groups, lesbian groups, club organizers, web portals, gay bars, friends of gays, lesbians, college groups, bears, club kids, the daddy set and a whole bunch of strait friends that make up our family. It's just a whole bunch of people that have simply organized their friends to come. That's what makes it cool.
In 2010, Mr Gay Hong Kong made its Floatilla debut via The Snow Tiger.
On 16 October 2011, Sunday, we will sail on The White Dragon.
Only 40 spaces are available aboard The White Dragon.
Book your spot early through

Fast ignition using pulsed-power drivers combines the efficient production of X-rays to drive fusion fuel assembly with precise ultraintense laser pulses for fuel ignition. Z-pinches convert electrical energy into thermal X-ray energy with high efficiency, which makes them attractive drivers for indirect-drive fuel assembly. Currently, experiments use the Z-pinch vacuum hohlraum, in which the Z-pinch heats a hohlraum that reemits thermal X-rays to drive the capsule. Surface-guided hemispherical capsule implosion experiments in Z-pinch vacuum hohlraums are in progress to study energetics, symmetry control, and pulse shaping. Simulations including radiation asymmetry and glide-plane physics have been performed to optimize the imploded fuel. Higher density capsule implosions at a given driver energy may be possible using the Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum, in which the Z-pinch plasma itself creates the hohlraum. Capsule and hohlraum designs for both vacuum and dynamic hohlraum sources are in progress, including liquid cryogenic fuel capsules. Analytic models for D-T fuel heating and burn have been developed for scoping purposes and breakeven scaling. Implicit particle-in-cell modeling of the interaction of laser-produced energetic particles with calculated fuel configurations demonstrates that details of the entire fuel/glide material density profile significantly affect the calculated energy deposition and thus the ignition requirements.

Design Success University Business Success Mentor to thousands of interior designers worldwide now announces new and improved...
$997 (best deal)
Can't it just be like it used to be?
You may wonder if the Value Based Fee System really works because money is tight right now and you don't want to waste money on an unproven class…We don't blame you for questioning something that is new, and we're thrilled to share that it really works!
If you worry about losing money due to pricing mistakes and unscrupulous clients who say "while you're at it" to get more work from you and not paying you for the added scope…Learn how to set expectations and avoid this costly mistake!
|"I learned how to handle questions about my fees from difficult clients. I learned how to offer fixed fees. I'd enthusiastically recommend this series to my peers."
– Sharon O.
What's Included For Just
Two or Three
Case Study #1
Case Study #2
Case Study #3
Case Study #4
"Knowing how to charge and for what has always been an issue that has never been comfortable. The Value Based Fees Series seemed like a system to invest in. I'd enthusiastically recommend the series."
Kathy M.
|Here's What You Get:
I tripled my business and profit in one year since using the Value Based Fee System. It works and Im in Macon, Georgia
in a small city.
I highly recommend taking this class.
– Valerie G.
|Frequently Asked Questions About Value Based Fees…
Is our industry going to eventually use this method as the "main" way to charge?
Based on ASID's survey results and with all of the opportunities for consumers to purchase pre-packaged services through Internet sites and even interior designer's own websites, I'd say yes. If this is what your clients want, why are we not giving it to them the way they want it? Besides, your time is a commodity, and there is no leverage if you bill by the hour. You're limited to how much you can make based on how many hours you work. What happens if you get sick when you bill by the hour? You lose money.
What are Value Based Fees?
They are fees based on what results you produce for your client instead of how many hours you work. You establish what they value before you make your proposal and you price according to what they want to receive in terms of a result.
How do you qualify clients for a Value Based Fee scenario?
We give you the questions and the process to follow in Gail's session. It's important to practice and prepare so you are ready to answer those meaty questions. Guaranteed…you will stand out from the competition in a positive way and win business.
How do I avoid giving away my services for free and how do I deal with scope creep?
You are in control. If your client wants to add more to the scope of work, that requires a separate agreement.
Should I take this class?
You can, but this
series is recommended for experienced designers. We advise a minimum of
two years of experience so you are able to fairly estimate your Value
Based Fee Proposal.
Will there be a definitive step by step process, a framework, and a tool to follow when setting a fee, such as questions to ask up front?
Yes, you'll even know how to answer the toughest questions from the most challenging prospects.
|Who should attend?
|Who should NOT invest?
Or is that the only way?
The economy dramatically impacted our luxury service industry. Many people can't borrow money to improve their homes, or qualify for a luxury home.
The Internet provides easy access to formerly Trade Only resources. We can't fight it, and the industry will never go back to the way it was.
HGTV increases the interest in interior design, and it skews the consumer's view of what good design is, how much it costs and how long it takes.
Many designers gave up in desperation or frustration, and that's good news for you.
Some competitors cut their hourly rates just to stay in business. Dont play their game! Give your prospects what they really want.
Learn the pitfalls and be the leader in your market.
Take yourself out of the competitive game and stand confidently as the only choice for the savvy clients you want to attract and keep.
You are not alone!
Billing for time and marking up products automatically puts you in a conflicting role that your clients may think is unethical and unfair!
I spent 23 years as an interior designer thinking about the fundamental flaws of the traditional billing model for our business, and since starting Design Success University I finally found the solution.
100% Money Back Guarantee
If you're not satisfied after 30 days for any reason, just let us know by email or call us. We'll cheerfully refund your money!

medicine, such as buspirone (BuSpar), to reduce anxiety
and the frequency of tension headaches.
Antianxiety medicines
relieve anxiety and nervousness and have a calming effect. In high doses, they
may cause drowsiness and sleep. Buspirone reduces mild anxiety, irritability,
fatigue, and pain. It is usually taken daily to relieve symptoms and is not
addictive if it is used continuously.
Generally, side effects are

@ZackTeibloom We're finally into the tournament. Thanks to all of you that turned in a last second bracket. We should have a a good competition here. One contestant has Adele winning the whole tournament. I have her losing right here in round 1. Not in the Face! has staying power. And rabid fans. But I'd never even heard of this Austin band before this contest, and I live in Austin. Everyone knows Adele, and mostly loves her. Adele has all the Grammy's and the sales and the parody videos on Saturday Night Live and the adoration of every kind of music fan. Will it be enough to move on? I'm excited to find out.
I should start this by saying there really isn't a track on 21 that I don't like. There's probably 2-3 other songs that I would have chosen over Zack's picks in this contest. That being said, it took me a while to get to the rest of the album. "Rolling in the Deep" hooked me that hard. I couldn't get enough. Every element of this song is perfect. I'll start with the build. First, it's just acoustic guitar strumming. Then that's joined by best voice in music these days. If your head isn't already nodding along, it will be by the time the kick drum drops in. Next the piano joins the party. It all comes together by the first chorus and there's no turning back. By the time you hit the bridge, you're clapping along, throwing your hands in the air and giving yourself up to this song. "Rolling in the Deep." Rinse. Lather. Repeat. There's a reason Adele is such a massive crossover hit. Her music, and this song especially, appeals to all crowds. It's soulful, empowering, meaningful, an incredible breakup song and it's produced perfectly. If this song doesn't make you feel from either the music or the lyrics, you're dead. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. -Andy S.
You could have convinced me this was a Dead Weather song on first listen. Bluesy, sexy, rock oozing attitude and bravado. What's not to love about Not in the Face!? Even the band name makes me giggle like a school gi … immature 27-year-old boy. That fuzzy guitar opening with the mix of growing drums gets me all kinds of excited. By the time the muddled Jack White-ian vocals come in, I'm hooked. If I say the guitar solos aren't quite up to Jack's caliber, I guess you could say, well who is? But it's damn good. The staccato jumps in the extended solo drive the song through the back half as the heavy reliance on cymbals crash around it. The vocals come back in, angrier than ever. The drums pound us out. It's a beast. I smell an upset. -Zack T.

I am finally settling in one spot for a bit and adjusting to a new routine. With that in mind, starting NOW, I might devote every Sunday post to whatever I've soaked in over the course of the week.
1. Hearing…
"Girls" Santigold
The soundtrack for the HBO series Girls was released last week here.
2. Tasting…
Modern Thai Food at Sway
One of my best friends, Sara, took me to Sway to celebrate our reunion back in Austin. The dishes were beautiful and family-style, the wine was good, and the place was lively even on a Tuesday.
Photo from Austin Woman Magazine
3. Smelling…
I just picked some up at West Elm!
4. Watching…
What They Wore: Pitti Uomo, The Details from Mr. Porter
I have always had an affinity for menswear. Mi manca Firenze.
5. Feeling…
Probably because I am finally settled in one place for at least the next few months and have been frequenting Houndstooth Coffee the past couple of days. (Did you know that their normal espresso is actually a doppio?)

Have you seen your lookalike?
Feel free to browse my website from
the links on the side of the page. I have developed some wonderful CD's that
have had great success in helping people to lose weight; stop smoking; relax and
sleep; fly in a plane again; go to the Dentist without fear of pain; to be able
to speak in public without dread; and a yoga DVD with breathing exercises, poses
and meditation
The methods I have used in many of these CD's include relaxation methods, Neuro
Linguistic Programming, hypnosis, music that was clinically tested to work as a
sleeping pill and visualization.
I also work with people on a PRIVATE
BASIS, using NLP, EFT and Hypnosis with the issues that are mentioned with
my CD�s, and much more!
I have been extremely successful with
WEIGHT LOSS HYPNOSIS in my workshops and I have a 95% success rate working
with people on a private basis with weight loss. I also adhere to a program of
no deprivation, eating things you like, but eating them differently and less, as
well as incorporating �good choices� that also taste good. Losing weight can
actually be fun!!!!
I ALSO have refresher, �Hypnosis for
Weight loss�, classes at my place periodically that are less than the workshops
and private sessions. Contact me at 402-344-3404 for
information on that.
You can also get information and buy my recently published book "Mirror Images.
Is there a genetic link to spirit?" and view some of my paintings that are
for sale. Classes I teach and workshops are on the class link.
am certified in Hypnotherapy, "Neuro Linguistic Programming" and "Emotional Freedom
Technique" and work with people on a private basis,as well as classes and workshops,
in helping them to change unwanted thoughts through education and facilitating in
these various techniques.
I teach workshops, and seminars for various organizations and Colleges. I teach
classes for:
Weight Loss using hypnosis
Cessation of smoking using hypnosis
Reiki/healing touch
Learning body language
Hatha Yoga with breathing, poses and meditation
Techniques to change your unwanted thought patterns
Past Life Regression
Information for improving physical and mental health
I recognize that each person has his or her own definition of success. My classes
focus on helping people identify and change the things in their life that are creating
blocks to personal success. I recognize that different individuals respond to different
methods and techniques for personal change. I make sure that I share as much information
as I can that will be helpful to a diverse audience.
I teach several informative workshops that are based around Mind/Body Connections.
I share information on research in this area as well as methods to help that mind/body
I teach many methods and techniques involving Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Emotional
Freedom Techniques (EFT) , Hypnosis, and more. These methods are effective in changing
unwanted thought patterns and anyone can use them. We can then change how we react
and respond to our environment using these techniques. For example, these methods
can decrease one's fear of public speaking
Did you know that certain body movements are common to all people? We are eliciting
information all the time through our own body language. Understanding body language
helps you understand the communications that you are receiving. Knowing what signals
you send can be a great benefit in creating the communications you want with people.
My Body Language workshop can help in sales, communications, creating rapport with
clients, patients, children, working with people, etc. I can customize these workshops
to cover the specific area you are interested in whether it be for sales people
or interpersonal relationships.
I will customize workshops, or combine workshops on stress control depending on
the area that you would like to focus on. I have many relaxation techniques that
are used for stress that are very beneficial. I also have information available
on various health techniques. (down below) This is a must for everyone! You will
get information on research about the effects of stress on our immune system, illness,
heart, and blood pressure. You will learn information and simple techniques to help
your body to function better, lose weight, handle stress, improve memory and thinking
ability, help with arthritis, blood pressure, help you sleep better and much more.
This includes simple things that most people are just not aware of from things to
eat, breathing, simple exercises and supplements for the body and brain.
I am also certified through the Yoga National Alliance and Omaha Yoga and Bodywork
Center to teach yoga. I teach breathing exercises, asanas (poses) and meditation
techniques. These can be combined with Mind/Body workshops. I teach yoga classes
at 2 community colleges and have a studio where I also teach. I am available for
private sessions as well as group sessions at any facility in the area.
I hope you can find something that is useful to you. Life is not an easy journey
and I believe we need as many tools as possible. That is what my company is
about. Please email if you have any questions, and a "real person"
will respond to you.

Time to get real. More and more houses are flooding. Sinkholes and potholes are becoming an epidemic. The water level is rising and it's not because of global warming.
Infrastructure maintenance has been deferred for years, especially since 2008. Drain pipes that are 30 to 40 years old are collapsing more and more. Emergency repairs are a joke. Dumping sand in holes and covering it with tar helps clog drains and doesn't last.
We are at a tipping point. I don't want a neighborhood that crashes in quality because of ruined drains, roads and homes. I expect to pay reasonable taxes for essential services and maintenance, whether property or sales. I suspect people who care about our community feel the same.
We don't need wasteful studies, new buildings, non-essential services. We MUST have adequate drainage, a basic service.
We need action. NOW!

Assistance to the Affected in Syrian Conflict - SYR 121 (revision 3)
Appeal Target: US$ 9,822,485
Funds Received: US$ 4,355,353
Balance Requested: US$ 5,467,132
Geneva, 20 December 2012
The ongoing armed conflict in Syria has created an influx of over 500,000 refugees to neighbouring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt[1]. In Jordan alone, some 150,000 people are registered by UNHCR as refugees or are to be registered within the next weeks. UN agencies and partners today launched the Syria Regional Response Plan requesting 1 billion USD to provide humanitarian assistance for the next six month.
ACT members are also strongly engaged in the humanitarian response in Syria and refugee host countries. A preliminary appeal was issued on 10 February 2012, and a full appeal was released subsequently on 26 March 2012 with the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) as requesting member. Since then, the appeal has been twice revised to reflect the changing realities and to include The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and Finn Church Aid (FCA) as requesting members.
A third revision of the appeal, SYR121, is now needed to i) include a component for ACT member the Department of Services to Palestinian Refugees/Middle East Council of Churches (DSPR/MECC), ii) extend the project implementation deadline for IOCC until 31 August 2013, and iii) revise the budgets to reflect the increased needs and numbers of Syrian refugees.
In the course of this year, ACT members in the region have increased their collaboration and coordination, which has resulted in the establishment of the ACT Jordan/Syria/Lebanon (JSL) Forum. The forum will play a crucial role in responding to the crisis in Syria and beyond. It will also provide a platform for providing mutual support and to use resources in the most effective way. One of the events planned by the forum is a workshop on humanitarian principles and standards (COC, Sphere, ACT policies). Please note that there is no evaluation budgeted in this appeal as it is the norm for over 5 million appeals. As an alternative to commissioning an external evaluation, we are proposing a peer review of the appeal projects with focus on HAP benchmarks.

Home: Asia : Japan
Japan WebcamsFor most people Japan is about technological progress and futuristic cities. However, you will be surprised to find out there is much more about the place and every single visit you plan will leave you more and more impressed. Mystical hills, trains that are faster than light, successful businessmen and traditional geishas are some of the things you will see when you visit. Many people believe Japan is one of the most expensive countries on Earth. You will therefore be surprised to find out that traveling here is much cheaper than almost any place in North America or Western Europe. Most visitors also find Japanese hospitality absolutely brilliant, while all the natural wonders are waiting to be discovered. Last but not least, tasting a fresh sushi in Tokyo and enjoying a fantastic tempura in Kyoto are some of things that you must do. All in all, Japan is a country that you will absolutely love.

Bread Video Index Page on FB.com
I have created an bread instruction video page on FB.com. The link is located in the vertical navigation bar (left side) at the bottom.
The page is here:
The good news is that we have created two new video, including one where Jim really beats up some bread dough. A good outlet for pent up energy.
Next comes a new generation of videos with Jim's voice (unless we can convince Nick to be permanently on staff), and after that..... PIZZA VIDEOS. More to come on that.
Let me know how these work, and if you find any website errors. :eek:
Thanks and enjoy!

Trick or Treat!
By Jodie Parus, RD, LD
Halloween is the favorite holiday of America's youth and trick or treating and getting lots of candy is the most liked Halloween activity for approximately 75% of kids. Americans will spend close to $2 billion on Halloween candy and according to the US Census Bureau, the average American eats 25 pounds of candy every year with a large portion of that eaten during Halloween time.
If your child eats 12 treats that is equal to about 30 packets of sugar. Of course you wouldn't give your child 30 sugar packs to eat, but limiting their candy intake on Halloween and the weeks following can get tricky, but the following tips may be helpful.
First, do not buy Halloween candy early, wait until a day or two before the holiday. If you buy Halloween candy when it comes out in September or early in October you will have it around weeks before you need it and be tempted more than necessary.
Once the day arrives, plan for your family to eat a moderate sized healthy meal before going out to trick or treat. You may theorize that if you eat a full meal and are stuffed before you go out that will lead to eating less candy. However, your kids and possibly even yourself will most likely eat just as much candy and end up overeating. In this case, plan to have a little room for the candy you know will be eaten.
Limiting candy is a challenge and taking it away, throwing it away or giving it away may not be the best option. To the best of your ability, attempt to limit the amount they collect by giving them smaller buckets and decrease the number of homes visited. Do not take it away or dump it, they will feel that they have to eat as much as they can as fast as they can. Discuss eating a couple of pieces at a time over the next few weeks.
When you return home the first thing you will want to do is inspect it for any opened packaging, this should be discarded. It is a also a great idea to have your kids go through and take out the candy that they do not like or will not eat, only keeping the favorites that they will truly enjoy. Finally, don't be tempted to clear the aisles of the after Halloween candy clearance; you are most likely stocked up. Happy Haunting!

Thank you for pointing out my omissions. Throughout the season I was mostly covering MIAA and WHAC schools, so Marygrove, Lawrence Tech, and Spring Arbor seemed to slip through my coverage. Trying to cover all of the small college soccer teams is a bit of a challenge, so some teams were just left out. I will try to get an update, on all the other "non-Michigan Conference" schools. So stayed tuned, thanks for reading.
Editor's Note* Title should Read Siena Heights upsets Davenport. My apologies folks we all make mistakes.
Although the stands did look empty a crowd over 20,000 is a happy day for any MLS club that is not the LA Galaxy or the Sounders. Personally what they need to do is more marketing, I think that is on CONCACAF, for not advertising the tournament enough. But all in all it was a loud atmosphere, the Canadian supports group my friends and I were sitting next to were in good spirits. If they do a good job with the Silverdome renovations I think it is time for Mr. Don Garber to look at Detroit for an expansion team. Until then, can somebody put some money up to get a USL-Pro team, that would show MLS that Michigan is serious about getting a club.

B.A. Geography/Social Science, B.S. Social Studies Secondary Education, M.S. Geography
Nikki comes to NUIG from the U.S. She earned a Double Major B.A. from Bemidji State University (Minnesota) in Geography and Social Science, followed by a B.S. degree in Social Studies Secondary Education from St. Cloud State University (Minnesota). Following that, Nikki earned her M.S. degree in Geography from Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington.
Upon completion of her Masters degree, Nikki worked as a secondary teacher in both Minnesota and Illinois; teaching Geography and History, as well as teaching courses in the regional geography of East Asia as an adjunct in the Geography Department at St. Cloud State University. Following that, taking a career path away from teaching, Nikki worked in the legal field and in electrical engineering sales before relocating to Ireland in 2007 to resume her academic career in Geography.
Research Interests:
Nikki's research interests in pursuit of her M.S. degree related to sacred spaces of Shinto in Japan, formal and informal expressions of Shinto practice on the physical and cultural landscape of Japan, and the ways in which Shinto compares to other major world religions in its impacts upon physical and cultural landscapes.
Current Research:
Working Title: The Development of Transnational Identity and Sense of Place amongst Immigrant Youth in Ireland
Nikki's current research interests concern the acculturation of immigrants' children in contemporary Ireland. Particularly, she is examining social networks and supports within families, schools and ethnic communities that either facilitate or impair acculturation.
The foundations of Nikki's research are rooted in the findings of social scientists who have noted that the characteristics and resources of schools, parents and the wider immigrant/ethnic community have a great impact on the successful acculturation of children. (Kateijns and Arman 2004). If immigrant children become embedded in a co-ethnic or multi-ethnic community -- both at home and at school -- that supports them and their parents and families, successful acculturation and formation of a strong bicultural identity is much more likely to occur (Zhou 1997). Ideally, such a community would encourage the maintenance of immigrant cultural norms, moderate intergenerational conflict, encourage co-ethnic friendships, and support full bilingualism amongst the second generation. Working from this ideal, Nikki is examining the co-ethnic and/or transnational relationships and supports that are developing in select Irish schools and communities in order to determine how effectively they are assisting immigrant youth to acculturate.
The three components of the immigrant youth environment that Nikki is specifically studying are the school community, the home environment (parents/guardians of immigrant youth), and the co-ethnic or multi-ethnic communities in which the youth reside. She will look for evidence of acculturative support under five general areas: language competency, friendship networks, family cohesiveness, cultural maintenance and social capital, and future aspirations.

opinionBy Philip N. Wesseh
Can you imagine any society that will exist without laws? Certain lawlessness will be of high prevalence as there are no rules or regulations that members of such a given society must adhere to. Because of the great consequences in the absence of laws, societies and governments over the world have promulgated laws and regulations that are enforced by the status quo to guide the conduct and behavior of members of such societies.
In the book, Street Law, law is defined "as the set of rules and regulations made and enforced by the government that regulates the conduct of people within a society." The book went further to say that "laws generally reflect and promote a society's values. These values can be moral, economic, or political," and that as these values change, laws may change too. Another book refers to law as, "the body of rules recognized by a state or a community as binding on its members (citizens)."
To ensure compliance or adherence to these laws, every law that is made goes with punishment or penalty for any violation. However, these punishments or penalties should in no way suggest that there will be no deviants or miscreants who will always, despite these laid down penalties or punishments, try to flout the laws, but one thing that is clear is that those violating these laws are conversant or au courant that any act or action that contravenes the law, those responsible will bear the full weight of the law.
Generally it has been accepted that man cannot exist in any society without being guided or regulated. Culturally, this is why in various societies there are norms and values that are laid promulgated to be followed by members of such society, as deviation from such norms and values are not accepted. Even in the homes, there are rules and regulations that households of such homes must adhere to. I still recall how some of us as children received punishments from our parents for not following the rules; sometimes, just for staying out late against the hour set to be home. I do not know whether this still exists with this so-called "modern days" scenario.
I vividly recall during my days at the university of Liberia, there were rules that prohibited students from being absent from classes from certain number of days. If such happened then, there were certain penalties. Likewise in our offices and various organizations, there are ethics and etiquettes to be followed by employees and members. People who violate these are always punished. In the case of the Press Union of Liberia (PUL), sometimes institutions or members are penalized for contravening its ethics. I do not know whether these rules still exist.
Incontestably, in any society where people allegedly break the laws and they are not made to face the full weight of the law, this will absolutely serve as a license or culture for others to flout the laws. These laws are not only limited to the state but other aspects of the society. As stated earlier, whether in a community, school, organization, groups or places of worship, these laws, unlike that of the state, may carry different nomenclatures, such as rules, regulations, stature, canon and ordinance. All of these also laid down penalties for any violation. These penalties may carry certain nomenclature. In the case of the church, the term 'excommunication' is usually used for those who have been expelled from the church.
.So you see, laws are necessary for any given society as anything contrary to this in any society, such a society will have itself to blame for encouraging lawlessness. When the culture of impunity becomes the order of the day, one should always expect people knowingly and consciously violating the laws because they know, to say it the Liberian way, "nothing will happen," and so such a society will always experience lawlessness.
Again, let me say that the existence of laws does not mean that people will not violate, but such violators are aware of the consequences of any violations.
There are many reasons why people are punished for breaking the laws. Three of these punishments are Retribution, Deterrence and Rehabilitation. Retribution refers to the "moral vengeance to satisfy society to make the offender suffer as much as the suffering caused." Deterrence is "the attempt to discourage crime by punishing." It is believed that citizens will not break the law because they know "the pain will outweigh the pleasure of the crime," while rehabilitation focuses on reform. It is intended to "reform the offender to prevent later offense."
Some may argue as to whether or not these punishments or penalties are necessary as people continue to violate the laws on a daily basis. Yes, these individuals may have all reasons for doubts about the effectiveness and efficacy of these punishments, as criminal activities continue unabated with these kinds of punishments and others. This may sound to reason; notwithstanding, these punishments are necessary as their absence will create rooms for lawlessness and disorderliness in the society. Really, I do not know where such a society exists without laws or rules to guide the conduct and behavior of its people.
I am referring to the issue of punishment because it is becoming increasingly clear that nowadays people engage in violent acts and go with impunity. Few weeks ago, it was reported that a group of motorcyclists burnt an ambulance on the Robertsfield Highway, following an accident incident. Today, nothing has been heard about those involved regarding prosecution.
Just few days ago, while I was attending the First Assembly of the Liberian National Bar Association in Harper, Maryland County and as a member of the Maryland County Bar I received information that Madam Miatta Fahnbulleh, a Liberian musical icon, was attacked by some individuals on the Capitol Building ground.
Actually, when I heard that she was attacked, lest did I expect that this would really occur on the grounds of the Capitol Building. But when I returned days later, I gathered that indeed the incident took place on the grounds of the Capitol Building. Will this latest case involving Madam Fahnbulleh be business as usual? I am concerned about this because of the place the incident took place. For people to have the audacity to attack another citizen for whatever reason, it beats my imagination.
As a nation that always speaks of this country being a place of "law and not men,' so it should be practical by enforcing the laws against individuals who violate them. To allow people to continue to violate the laws, without facing the weight of the law, then, this is only a license for others to commit crimes and go with impunity. Frankly, if we continue to allow these kinds of incidents to go without proper action, then, our society is doomed to be a place of lawlessness. This, we must not encourage. Therefore, let all of us resolve to fight lawlessness. Today, it is Miatta; tomorrow, it could be another person. Will it always be business as usual? I rest my case.

THE motion in the Lamu county assembly to ban mini-skirts will also affect buibui wearers. The motion has been moved by Nominated Member Amina Kale. She said that the motion should also apply to women who wear extremely tight clothes and fashionable buibuis with slits on the side.
The motion, which has divided the Lamu assembly, will also ban young men from wearing dreadlocks. Lamu majority chief whip Zahara Shee Mohamed has expressed her support for the motion saying that residents and visitors should respect the traditions of Lamu as a world heritage site.
Zahara said men and women should not imitate western cultures. "Young people have a tendency of walking while holding hands which is a total disregard of culture. Some even kiss in public. This motion if passed will bring a stop to all that and more," said Zahara.
Zahara said she holding campaigns to stressing how culture can be upheld and respected by both locals and visitors. She denied that the ban might damage the tourism industry.
"Tourists come to behold our culture. Now, if we dress up decently the way we do, why shouldn't they emulate us if they really are interested in our culture?" she said. She said that beach boys should respect the rules governing culture during their work.
"People who are saying that the motion might affect tourism must understand that even before tourism, the culture of this place comes first. Tourists must therefore learn to respect our culture when they come. Beach boys are fond of wearing shorts that extremely short and expose all their thighs and keeping dreadlocks. That is improper but now we want to rectify all that by passing this motion into Bill," she said.
However Hongwe ward representative James Njuguna Komu said the ban would damage tourism and alienate the youth. "Lamu's economy depends on tourism. This motion will have a bad impact. If you talk about regulating how young people dress, then you will be sure to throw thousands in court. Such a motion is only good for religion. Otherwise it is no good," said Komu.
Executive member for Trade, Tourism and Culture Samia Omar also opposes the motion. He argues that tourism makes up 79 percent of Lamu's income and the motion could wipe that out.

DES MOINES (AP) - Eight workers at a Bridgestone-Firestone plant in Des Moines are suing the company.
They claim they were subjected to years of racial jokes and threats.
In a lawsuit filed this week in Polk County, the eight workers, all black, claim they were referred to as slaves by co-workers who compared them to monkeys and displayed nooses and swastikas.
The lawsuit says the abuse dates back to 1997, and alleges that managers ignored the behavior and helped delay investigations into harassment by white employees.
The workers' attorney, Thomas Newkirk, says the alleged abuse occurred in isolated incidents and the affected employees didn't realize it was widespread.
The company says it's committed to creating a safe and healthy workplace, and doesn't believe there is any merit to the allegations.

|back to the list
Anri Janse, Veronica Callakoppen and Abubaker Bagaria were lucky enough to each be given a superb set of German-quality Dick Knives.
Knives of excellent quality are essential tools to give each chef the cutting edge, and Dick Knives are of the highest quality. The weight of the knives are perfect and any chef, irrespective of gender and strength, will enjoy using them, says Abubaker Bagaria, Bertus Bassons commis chef during the Global Chef competition. Due to the sharpness of the blade, the perfect handle fit and the weight of the knife, it was a pleasure to use. The sponsorship of the knives was made even more special as each knifes black handle was adorned with the South African Chefs Association logo.
Abubaker also mentioned that at the high level of competition that he was competing in, he could not afford to have hands that were injured in any way, but that after six hours of cooking not a callous or irritation was visible on his hands. He feels that the knives definitely improved his performance, and Veronica Callakoppen agreed, saying you tend to use less pressure as the knives cut through anything like its butter. They also enhanced my knife skills and increased my speed in chopping, de-boning and filleting. As a junior I constantly strive towards achieving perfection and professionalism, and these knives add to that.
Veronica adds, I would say that using the Dick Knives in the competition and future competitions will definitely give us an advantage. I remember watching Anri (Janse) de-bone the lamb during the Hans Bueschkens Junior Chefs Challenge and looking so comfortable the knife glided through the flesh like a hot knife through butter.
Anri Janse went on to win a silver medal in the Hans Bueschkens Junior Chefs Challenge.

How Our Spam Filter Works
I know it's irritating to write a comment and see it held, even temporarily, for moderation — so here are a few notes about how our site controls spam. In nearly every case comments by registered users are posted without delay.
A few of the reasons that automatically cause our filter to hold comments until moderation are more than 3 links in a post, more than 3 comments within 120 seconds and more than 3 videos posted within 5 minutes.
DO NOT keep posting when your comments are being held or the filter will disable your account. Instead, send an email to email@example.com
Also, at busy times occasionally you might get a note that your comment is being held. Just wait a few seconds and don't resubmit. Our spam filter "launders" every comment through its database before posting, and when we have lots of posts coming in — when the filter is unusually busy — it jams up for brief time.
I never personally delete or hold a comment without prior notice. See TOP TEN WAYS TO BE A BETTER COMMENTER for guidelines about the rare times I do moderate comments.
Unless you've heard from me any comment held for moderation is merely a result of our automated filter's abundance of caution.

Tiger impressed with HSBC field
Updated: November 3, 2009, 10:00 AM ETAssociated Press
SHANGHAI -- Tiger Woods looked out at a conference room above the Shanghai River that was filled with so many photographers and other media that it felt like he was at a major championship.
The HSBC Champions is not quite the same as when he first showed up in 2005.
In its fifth year, it has gone from a tournament sanctioned by four tours to a World Golf Championship that has attracted its strongest field ever, starting with the best two players in the world.

Reconstructing Amelia
by McCreight, Kimberly.
There are no copies available
Where To Find It
Call number: Fiction / McCreight, Kimberly
Additional Details
Kate is in the middle of the biggest meeting of her career when she gets the telephone call from Grace Hall, her daughter's exclusive private school in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Amelia has been suspended, effective immediately, and Kate must come get her daughter now. But Kate's stress over leaving work quickly turns to panic when she arrives at the school and finds it surrounded by police officers, fire trucks, and an ambulance. By then it's already too late for Amelia. And for Kate. An academic overachiever despondent over getting caught cheating has jumped to her death. At least that is the story Grace Hall tells Kate. And clouded as she is by her guilt and grief, it is the one she forces herself to believe. Until she gets an anonymous text: She didn't jump. The novel is about secret first loves, old friendships, and an all-girls club steeped in tradition. But, most of all, it's the story of how far a mother will go to vindicate the memory of a daughter whose life she couldn't save.

Colorado Senator Mark Udall honors victims, survivors, heroes of Aurora movie theater shooting
Victims names read into congressional record
WASHINGTON - The names of the victims of the Aurora theater shooting were read on the floor of the U.S. Senate Thursday morning.
"Let's never forget these names," Senator Mark Udall, D-Colorado, said before reading the names into the congressional record. "Matt McQuinn, Micayla Medek, Jessica Ghawi, Gordon Cowden, Jesse Childress, John Larimer, Jonathan Blunk, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, Alex Sullivan, Alexander Teves, Rebecca Wingo and Alexander [AJ] Boik."
Udall spoke about two of the victims in particular.
"We remember young men like 26-year old Jon Blunk and 24-year old Alexander Teves, who sacrificed their lives to protect their friends. They put themselves in between the shooter and their friends in that movie theater," Udall said.
Udall thanked and honored the countless police and other emergency responders who cared for wounded and stopped the shooter.
"Today, I want to mark the anniversary of this tragedy and to honor the strength that so many Coloradans have shown, both on that day and in the weeks and months since," Udall said. "The Aurora theater shooting shook us, shocked us, outraged us, but as I said one year ago, it did not break us."
The Senator mentioned two of the survivors by name. He talked about Zack Golditch who endured surgery and weeks of recovery to continue with his football career.
"This Fall, he will begin his freshman year as an offensive lineman at Colorado State University," Udall said.
(Read more about Golditch: http://ch7ne.ws/1bLjXAr)
Udall also mentioned Marcus Weaver. A young man who was shot and recovered.
"[Marcus Weaver] now hosts a weekly radio show that spotlights great Americans who are making a difference in their communities," Udall said. "These are just two of countless examples of the perseverance of people affected by the Aurora theater shooting."
The Senator spoke for about six minutes, then asked asked people to remember this Saturday.
"Let's take time to remember those who have lost their lives and to honor the resilience of our neighbors who press on with their lives undoubted by this terrible act," Udall said. "I hope we can draw strength from the tragic loss of these 12 wonderful, beautiful people and that it leads us to redouble our efforts to be better people, to be more understanding to our friends and be more loving to our families. Inspire to live our lives with the courage that the people of Aurora and Colorado have shown over the course of this last year."

Ticket #7071 (confirmed Bug)
SCAYT window should be wider to account for localized versions
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|UI : Spell Checker
At the moment the best idea for SCAYT window localization I can think of is to use the "Name Of SCAYT Function In Foreign Language (SCAYT)" as the name of the feature and the title bar of the dialog window. The "(SCAYT)" fragment is useful, since we are using the abbreviation while describing SCAYT options and leaving it out = confusing the users.
The problem is, in some (popular) languages, like German or French, this text is too long to fit into the title bar. Compare:
Spell Check As You Type
Rechtschreibprüfung während der Texteingabe (SCAYT)
Vérification de l'Orthographe en Cours de Frappe (SCAYT) (after we shorten current faulty title: "Vérification de l'Orthographe en Cours de Frappe (SCAYT: Spell Check As You Type)")
This makes the dialog window stretch in an uncontrollable way (see screenshots). We should come up with a solution to this problem. We can either increase the value for the fixed width of the dialog window or, if possible, set a minimum width value and allow the dialog window to adjust to the contents of the title bar, flowing the rest accordingly.
Mind you, this enhancement might come in handy with other dialog windows with long titles, so it might be useful to think about some universal solution for all dialog windows.

SCAYT uses standard CKEditor dialog window so this problem is similar to all long titles of the CKEditor plugins. Localization files were contributed not by SpellChecker.net. We don't have any resources to provide correct localization. As for French we can suggest to leave "Name Of SCAYT Function In Foreign Language" only. Do we need to prepare patch?
comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by Anna
No, because this does not solve the problem. As written in the ticket description, the "SCAYT" part is vital as the acronym is used while describing the options.

Photos: Die Antwoord @ The Pageant 2012
When I told Twitter that I was shooting Die Antwoord and asked what I was in for, the general consensus was "craziness." Needless to say, the South African group did not disappoint and neither did their fans, who had the venue heaving.
Photographer's Notes:
Cameras Used:
- Nikon D3
- Nikon D700
Lenses Used:
- Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8
- Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8
- Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8
This show was all about the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom. There were what seemed like a dozen monitors lining the 5-foot stage of the Pageant, so that ruled out a lot of the ultra-wide shots that would have been so perfect for this show. As such, the midrange zoom was really the hero here and indispensable for capturing the frenetic movements of Ninja and Yolandi Visser.

I think we can say, without any doubts, all packed/canned food had some major processing done.
A lot of people don't know 'natural food' even if it slapped them in the face. Even stuff like vegetables and such can be 'processed/treated/sped up' in some way during growth.
The big food companies are adding fat, sugar, salt and a ton of additives and colorings to your food. Have a look on the box how long that list can get.
And even the sugar isn't real sugar, but processed corn syrup. One of the reasons for obesity is so wildly spread. No tin foil hat here....
Stop eating your meals out of a box, and start eating real vegetables, fruits and whole grain bread.
Be critical of the stuff on the label. When it says 'healthy' on the label, take that with a truckload of salt. ;-)
