With the successful launching of its three-stage rocket on last December, North Korean earned the status of 10th member of the world's prestigious space club. It has also provided two major advantages to the young leader of the most reclusive communist regime of the world. One was the high level of confidence that Kim Jong –un achieved in securing internal unity for his dynastic rule and the other was his increased bargaining power against its neighbors – especially the South Korea and China in gaining the much needed economic assistance for one of the most impoverished countries – in the neighborhood of greatest economic success stories.
On January first – following the controversial rocket launch, South Korea's largest news agency-Yonhap published a news report about the dramatic New Year's message of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and that according to the agency marked the first such message verbally in 19 years. The message read by the young North Korean leader through radio and television exhibited his rare found self-confidence in making such announcement.
In the message broadcasted by the North Korean radio and television Kim called for the efforts to resolve the outstanding tension between the two countries by following the joint declarations and initiate economic reform basically in agriculture and light industries.
Kim further broadened his pristine gesture by shaking hands with diplomatic envoys and representatives of international organizations that indicated his willingness in "ushering in the era of great prosperity".
Furthermore, in a report published on December 28, the Korea-U.S. Institute at John's Hopkins University said that in a given situation North Korea is in a position to test its nuclear weapon within two weeks.
According to New York Times it was a "fundamental breakthrough" and a "resounding achievement" that showed the main elements of an intercontinental ballistic missile that to some experts can hit its precise target.
The intent of the message of the mysterious country is yet to be analyzed, but the tenth member of the world's Space Club might have prudently kicked off its new strategy to pacify the shocked and possibly strong reactions from other major powers including United Nations.
John Cherian in an Indian fortnightly – Frontline, admits that the successful launch of a North Korean satellite on December 12 is being generally interpreted as a message by Pyongyang to the international community that it is determined to chart its own course despite the decades of Western sanctions and military threats.
Two Koreas and two Great Paradoxes
John F. Kennedy – one of the most popular American Presidents once told his advisers: "Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us."
Kennedy is more relevant today than to his time. The world today has become more and more dangerous when compared to his presidency (1960-1963). To the chagrin of many foreign policy analyst , East Asian countries for their foreign policy have undergone a much precarious conflict situation as defined by Kennedy. The nature of relations among them – China, Koreas and Japan – the world's second, third and 12th largest economies as well as the major global military powers, have imparted a common message that the strategic flashpoints discernible in the region may easily turn into a global nightmares.
Noted American writer and political analyst- Phyllis Schlafly, says that the successful launching of North Korean three-stage rocket that can deliver a payload in orbit around the globe and if North Korea explodes a single nuclear weapon a hundred miles above the United States, it " could create electromagnetic pulse effects, thereby bringing our entire economy to a standstill". As a result of this, United States for many months will have to live without electricity, communication system, transportation, banking facility and almost all critical infrastructure systems will fail.
She further mentions that it would be "like a return to the 18th century. But we no longer have the agrarian society that supported Americans in those olden days because we now import the majority of our food". With its ballistic missiles when combined with nuclear or chemical weapons, any enemy country without an air force or military can project power outside of its borders and threaten the United States, Schlafly admits. Evidently when North Korea has gained such ability against United States that is 10,277 kilometers away, the impact of such explosion in South Korea and Japan is beyond imagination.
Robert M. Gates in January 2011, when visiting Beijing as a secretary of defense and speaking to reporters had said that North Korea was "becoming a direct threat to the United States within the next five years".
Henry Kissinger says that the international order of Asia resembles the nineteenth century Europe and one such example is Korea that "has been a focal point of Asian crisis for the last hundred years". Although Korean peninsula lies within the geo-strategic orbit of China, the nature of two rival political and economic systems pursued by Koreas and their strategic dependence upon China and United States for their ultimate survival have turned the peninsula one of the most critical strategic hotspots of our time.
The North and South Koreas: officially known as Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Republic of Korea (ROK) – one is among the most impoverished country of the world and the other has the reputation of becoming an economic powerhouse of the world and a vibrant democracy as well. Both these countries have taught the world is that how leadership and policy matters when it means total deprivation of the people as well as their pride and prosperity. Moreover, both countries in inheritance to the cold war situation are living with much troubled relationship and apparently are prepared to meet any untoward challenges bred out of their two antagonistic socio-political and economic way of life.
And this in turn has been a constant source of anxiety to both countries. Simultaneously, the North's relation with China and South's relations with United States have given the nature of relationship between North and South Korea a critical global dimension.
These days few countries in world can be compared with South Korea – clearly for its amazing economic success and a powerful democracy. As a highly industrious and productive people committed to democratic ideals – South Koreans have achieved these two greatest miracles within a short span of time. Mainly it was possible for their visionary leaders and their great love and devotion to their country. But unfortunately the North Korean people were not fortunate to have the such leaders and have been living under the dire level of deprivation that is beyond imagination to many people in the world.
Success and Failures of Countries depend upon the Quality of their Leadership
Sir Arthur Lewis, the father of development economist when was at Princeton University, was asked a pertinent question by one of his promising student – 'why do some developing countries grow faster than others?' Professor Lewis, a 1979 Noble Laureate responded that two things are mainly responsible for this. The first is the great leadership, and the second- the good policies. When there are great leaders and good policies rapid growth follows.
Countries are great not for their size of the geography, population, economy army or weaponry, but for the vision of their leadership, their capacity and courage in tapping the resources available and making the best possible use of opportunities available to them.
South Korea, indubitably has confirmed what Sir Arthur Lewis said. When Park Chung -hee took reins of the government through a military coup in 1961, the country was in ruins. That time it was one of the poorest countries in the world – with per capita income just around US $87. And when he was assassinated in 1989 it had reached US $4,830 and now it is above US$ 31,000. But even the most liberal estimate North Korean per capita income accounts below US $ 1000.
Indeed Park ruled his country with firm hand – with a dictatorial stance. But there are few leaders – compared to Park who is truer to the cause of their people and the nation. Among the crowd of so many inattentive and unaccountable so called democracies of that time, he had proved himself as one of the most attentive and reputed leader, who if had exhibited some sort of weakness and if instability was further allowed to continue in his country, there was every possibility that South Korea would have collapsed and would have inevitably fallen under the control of North Korea it as in South Vietnam fell down in 70s.
Eminent philosopher, physicist and noble laureate Ilya Prigogine has said "we cannot predict future, but we can prepare it". In other word great leaders with unlimited courage and will power create future with their own hands. Proving himself true to Prigogine, Park reinvented his country – from a poor crumbling state to an Asian tiger within a period of 18 years. It was a miracle in world's economic history. And the great Korean people pursuing his path to prosperity have invented one of the most powerful democracies in the world – on the economic foundation created by Park.
When South Korea was created many in United States and United Nations considered it as an impossible country to survive when compared to North. North Korea then was in a far better position for its strong industrial infrastructure, possession of heavy industries and abundance of natural resources – mainly iron, coal, copper, lead, uranium and manganese – that accounted about 90 percent of Korean peninsula. Similar was the case with hydroelectricity and forest resources. However, South Korea was creeping mainly with its agrarian economy without any natural resources to start with. It was a country ruined by war, shattered by partition and devastated by people's anger and deep despair. The North somehow was rallied under the leadership of Kim IL Sung – for more than a decade. The North had far more stronger military and advanced weapons when compared to South. Moreover, South Korea was reeling under weak, instable and battered leadership and had Park not intervened many anticipated it would have collapsed.
Bad leaders and bad policies cause poverty and famines in their countries. Noble Laureate Amartya Sen, in his path breaking study on "Poverty and Famine – An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation" (1981) and another book written with Jean Drèze on "Hunger and Public Action" (1989) has made a detailed account on the famines of Bengal, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and other Sahel region countries and have concluded that famines, hunger and poverty are not the result of shortage of food supply or its availability, but for the inability of person to acquire food and other commodities within the prevailing economic, social and legal arrangement denying people entitlements and ownership rights.
Dr. Sen., in his acclaimed work "Development as Freedom" in more unequivocal terms, has mentioned that there is connection between poverty, famines and nature of government. Famines have never killed rulers and ruling elites, neither are they ever accountable for that. But when there is freedom, democracy and independent press, rulers are penalized for such catastrophes. So are famines like situations effectively prevented.
Therefore, the main contributing factors that cause poverty and other human deprivation are the kind of leaderships and the kind of economy whether it is in North Korea, Ethiopia, Somalia or Nepal. What else could be expected from the kind of autocracies that spends more money on the arms , ammunitions followed by most expensive missiles and nuclear programs with one of the largest standing army in the world – under the policy of 'military first' . An autocratic regime raises such a huge army not to protect people but to protect the rulers and their odd yearning as in case of North Korea.
Messages of Park Geun- hye'e election in South Korea
Newly elected President of South Korea Park Geun – hye, during her election campaign had vowed to improve the relations with North, hold a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and look for ways to make huge economic investments across the 38th parallel to build trust and gain long term peace – that ultimately would make the unification of Korean people possible in the long run – although bleak at the time being.
And Kim Jong-un in his new year's message and with follow up media highlights signaled Park that he is receptive to her mission that she announced during her election campaign, however he had defied the South Korean and world community's pleas for rocket launch.
When Korean people elected Park Geun – hye as their new president – they conferred four messages at the same time. One – they love Park Chung-hee – one of the greatest leaders of the last century who within a period of 18 years transformed his country from rags to riches – amazingly unparallel achievement in human history till that time. Two, they love their democracy – one of the most powerful in the world. The third message they imparted was that they wanted United States continue to play major strategic role in the region. And the fourth was that they supported Park Geun – hye to initiate some solid ground work for the unification of Korea – that would comparatively be easier to her – for the strong support base she enjoyed in the establishment and among general public due to the resounding economic success that senior Park ensured for their country.
Similarly, when South Korean people in an election held in last December elected his daughter – Park Geun-hye as the new president of their country – they not only demonstrated their high regard for father Park, they have also exhibited high regards for the patriotic character of daughter Park that was first learnt with her spontaneous utterance when she heard the murder of her father in 1979. On October 26 of that year, when she was informed about the assassination of the incumbent President – Park Chung-hee by his own intelligence Chief, the first question she asked was – 'was the border with North Korea safe' ? She stood similarly bold when in August 1974 her mother was killed by a North Korean agent when an attempt was made on her father. Later again on 20 May 2006, when Park Geun-hye herself was attacked in Seoul by an assailant she suffered one-to-three centimeters deep cuts to her face from ear to jaw that required 60 stitches. And her first remarks after the attack was, "I am all right. Don't overreact ".
Contrary to the highly developed South, North Korea is living with the greatest paradoxes of our time –a nuclear powered nation with the largest standing army in one of the most poverty ridden and a kind of famine infested countries – with millions without food and other basic amenities of life with the most dismal 0.9 percent growth rate. And if South Korea finds ways to share some of its great fortune with its less fortunate brethren in the North and in return buys peace and in the long run unification of the Korean people, it would greatly contribute peace in part of Asia where major global powers like United States, China, Japan and Russia have claimed greater stakes.
Korean Peninsula: Strategic Key in one of the Most Significant Geo-Strategic Region of the World
At the end of World War II, when Moscow and Washington failed to agree on the future of the peninsula – formerly occupied by Japan; Korea was split in to two parts and two separate countries with different socio- political system were established.
Following the end of three years long Korean War on July 27, 1953 after the military commanders of North Korea, the Chinese Peoples' Volunteers and the United Nations Command entered into an armistice agreement at Panmunjom; a 2.5-mile-wide buffer zone known as the demilitarized zone (DMZ) was created across the thirty-eighth parallel.
Korean peninsula has a great strategic significance as it is shared by major economic and military powers of the North East and South East Asian Geo-strategic Region – the part of greater Asia – Pacific Rim, bordering continental powers like China and Russia and lying between Korean Bay- Yellow Sea and Sea of Japan. All those make it a 'grand geopolitical centre' of the world.
The turbulent relations between two Koreas reached at lowest ebb in March 2010 when North Korea torpedoed a South Korean navy ship and killed some five dozen crew members. In May 2011, North and South Korea exchanged artillery fire after the North shelled an island near their disputed sea border, killing at least two South Korean marines, setting dozens of buildings ablaze and sending civilians fleeing for shelter.
In November 2009 too, two navies fought a brief gun battle that left one North Korean sailor dead and three others wounded. A North Korean ship was left in flames.
In August 2011 AFP reported that the North Korea had sent some secret agents to assassinate its defense minister Kim Kwan-Jin.
But after years of tensed relations North Korea now seems intending to improve its relations with the South. Focused specially on the new South Korean president's policy of building trust with the North, the North Korean leader has given the impression that it is reciprocating the South's overtures.
Similarly, China – the only country having good ties with North Korea has been putting adequate pressures to improve its strained relations with the United States and South Korea.
If tension is eased in Korean peninsula and South Korean investments in North Korea are increased it could help North Korea go stabilized and that would obviously help China achieve its aim of keeping South Korean and American forces out of its first chain of geo-strategic border region. And China without any underestimation knows the hard fact that unless North Korea categorically abandons its nuclear weapons ambition; it would give United States additional impetus to deploy more anti missiles facilities to the region facing North Korean and Chinese nuclear arsenals.
When crisis erupts in Korea Russia will be similarly threatened. Robert Kagan – the noted foreign policy expert of USA, in his acclaimed book – The Return of History and the End of Dreams, has stated that "if Russia was where History most dramatically ended two decades ago. Today it is where history has most dramatically returned". And according to Kagan Russia ranks among the strongest power of the world – its economy growing by 7 percent from 2003 is showing a remarkable improvement.
And if normalcy returns in Korea and East Asia, Russia would make a dramatic return as a fuel supplier to world's highly developed economies of South Korea and Japan. During the North Korean President Kim Jong IL's visit to Moscow in August 2011, the first since 2002, both presidents discussed about how to promote their mutual economic and political interests.
According to New York Times (August 21, 2011) for years, officials in Moscow and Seoul have been urging North Korea to let the two countries build a pipeline through the North Korean territory to carry Russian natural oil and gas to meet the rising demand in South Korea and even Japan by which North Korea can earn $500 million a year in transit fees.
Likewise, the two Koreas and Russia have also been exploring the extension of Trans-Siberian Railway through the North into the South and construction of a high-voltage power lines to sell surplus Russian electricity to North and South Koreas that would ultimately help Russia develop its sparsely populated Far Eastern region. Senior Russian and North Korean officials have agreed to work on such projects and enhance greater cooperation involving energy and railways among Russia and two Korea.
If Russia's huge oil and natural gas reserves find market in East Asia that will not only give Russia greater power leverage, it will boost East Asian economy that resultantly, will enlarge regional peace and cooperation. This will also help China improve its relation with South Korea and Japan giving more rooms for bilateral trade.
But before such mega projects on oil and gas pipelines are initiated; economic and security related risks are to be analyzed and better trust building structural environment be created among the parties through long term treaties governing the smooth supply of oil and gas under stronger international assurances.

While many brides are enamored by the thought of being married in the summer, the winter is a magical time to hold a wedding ceremony and reception. There are unique themes that work best during the winter, and if you haven't yet decided on yours, the following ideas should give you some great inspiration.
The Holiday Theme
If the holidays are your favorite time of year, why not make it extra special by having a holiday-themed wedding? Red and gold are wonderful, elegant colors to use and you can take advantage of affordable decorations since holiday décor can be used.
Winter Wonderland
This is great for couples who don't live in snowy areas but who want to bring that feeling to their wedding. Simply anchor some tall branches in containers (spray insulation will hold them in) and add lights that shine up the "trunk" into the branches. Cover the container and light with cotton to look like snow. Glitter in the branches and on the cotton works very well, too!
Victorian Wedding
Victorian weddings work very well in the winter because the clothing is typically heavy and long-sleeved. The winter weather makes it bearable in a way summer wouldn't allow. The colors are also perfect for winter: ivory, rose, gold, etc.
New Years Wedding
This is a fun and romantic theme for a bold couple. New years weddings allow couples and their guests to celebrate new beginnings and have a lot of fun doing so. This is another theme where décor is readily available and therefore, less expensive.
Use these fun winter wedding theme ideas as inspiration to come up with your own beautiful and memorable theme.

Rihanna reportedly paid a visit to Ashton Kutcher's house on Wednesday and stayed until 4am.
The pop star and her security team turned up at Ashton's house in Los Angeles at around midnight, a photographer told TMZ.
We never put these two down as close buddies, so we've been left scratching our heads.
It could well be RiRi is looking for a new pad, as Ashton's $10million place might be on the market.
Justin Bieber apparently checked it out recently with a view to buying the property.

However, we don't know many people who go house hunting in the middle of the night.
The actor and singer have both been in the press a lot for their relationships with their exes, Demi Moore and Chris Brown, so they have that in common.
Maybe the 24-year-old singer was interested to hear all about Ashton's latest adventure.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | November 13, 2006
Alzheimer's Foundation of America to Hold National Memory Screening Day
Surveys Show Americans Often Ignore Concerns
NEW YORK, NY— In light of new evidence that many people are ignoring memory problems, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) is urging Americans not to let fear, stigma or other reasons stand in the way of checking out these concerns—and to instead take advantage of free memory screenings and education during National Memory Screening Day on November 14.
"We can't emphasize enough how important it is to take action. Americans need to become comfortable with the idea of addressing their brain health, much the same way they would check out other issues with their bodies. This knowledge can lead to appropriate medical treatment and support services that can help improve quality of life," said Eric J. Hall, AFA's chief executive officer.
Hall said the process is easy and convenient during National Memory Screening Day, an annual event sponsored by AFA since 2003. More than 600 sites in nearly all 50 states will provide free memory screenings and education about Alzheimer's disease, successful aging and local resources.
The face-to-face screenings consist of a series of questions and tasks, and take about ten minutes to administer by a qualified healthcare professional. They are not used to diagnose any illness, but could indicate whether someone should follow up with a complete exam and consultation with a qualified professional, he said.
Screening sites include Alzheimer's organizations, pharmacies at Kmart stores and other locations, doctors' offices, research clinics, houses of worship, and assisted living facilities. To locate participating sites, call 866-232-8484 or visit www.nationalmemoryscreening.org .
National Memory Screening Day coincides with National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month in November, and this year comes during the 100 th anniversary of the discovery of Alzheimer's disease.
The annual event takes on increased importance this November in light of two recent surveys that show reluctance on the part of people with memory concerns to speak up about them.
According to a survey, I CAN: Investigating Caregivers' Attitudes and Needs, conducted by Harris Interactive for AFA, concern about stigma and denial of symptoms can delay a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease by more than two years (28.7 months) on average after symptoms appear. When caregivers are concerned about stigma, delay of diagnosis is even more severe, averaging 6 years (71.4 months).
Another survey , conducted by the MetLife Mature Market Institute, AFA and the Center for Productive Aging at Towson University, found that 84 percent of 2,000 people surveyed during National Memory Screening Day last year had visited their doctor within the previous 6 months, but only 24 percent of those concerned about their memory shared their unease with their physician.
Last year, an estimated 20,000 people were screened during National Memory Screening Day. Among those who were screened, an estimated 10 percent had below-normal scores and were encouraged to follow up with a qualified healthcare professional.
The AFA suggests that anyone concerned about changes in memory or other intellectual functions should get screened. Warning signs include forgetfulness about names and events, asking repetitive questions, loss of verbal or written skills, confusion, and erratic mood swings.
National Memory Screening Day's presenting sponsor is Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

As the advisor, I really enjoyed the opportunity for my students to work with the Challenge Course Staff. The staff was welcoming, supportive, and able to balance out the needs of our team. By the end of the day, there was a noticeable and positive difference in how everyone was interacting together and I contribute the work of your staff as playing a pivotal role in their success. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our experience and are hoping to come back soon.
~ Emily Ancinec, Coordinator for Student Organizations
I have always felt that having the physical experiences of trust, communication, setting outcomes, walking through your own fears, going for an outcome and encouraging teammates to do the same and doing this in both an indoor and outdoor context, is an excellent way to build a team and connect people to each other. I enjoy the looks on the faces of my students as they contemplate, quiet themselves and move through the course with confidence and hesitation. Both are wonderful to watch... especially the transformation... subtle or great!
~ Vikki Clawson, Instructor for the Institute for Leadership Advancement in the Terry College of Business
The student leaders at Athens Technical College thoroughly enjoyed the activities led by the challenge course staff during our leadership retreat. The staff were energetic, the activities appropriate for our diversity of students, and the connections between leadership development and the activities was evident. Our students gave high praise to this part of our day in their evaluations and enjoyed being able to get to know each other, break down their own comfort walls, and get energized for the day ahead.
~ Dr. Yancey Gulley, Director of Student Activities for Athens Technical College
The Recreational Challenge Course at Ramsey was a great discovery for our department. Here at UGA Human Resources, we are always looking for campus resources to enhance the Training and Development experience. After meeting Susan Powell, we were immediately drawn to the possibilities of adding the Challenge Course to our leadership program curriculum. That was a great decision. Even though the Challenge Course at first glance may seem like just a fun activity, it is incredibly deeper than that. This program is a high-touch experiential learning environment. And what our participants learned just to mention a few is teamwork, trust, better ways to communicate, leadership skills and problem solving. You cannot get that in a classroom. Participating in the Challenge Course provided an immediate opportunity for development that we see firsthand. I do not ever underestimate the value of having fun while learning and have not seen a better program on campus presented in this way.
Susan Powell and her staff are enthusiastic, professional and highly skilled. The customer service provided from the first point of contact, through the event, and after the event is over is outstanding. Our participants gained solid skills, new ideas, and a fresh perspective all while enjoying time together away from the office.

Employment Opportunity: Staff (student, faculty, staff, and non-student) to become trained Challenge Course Facilitators! (see job description here)
Contact the Challenge Course Manager at email@example.com for more information.
What is the Challenge Course Program?
The Low Challenge Course Program consists of a series of ground-based initiatives and elements which primarily foster teamwork and individual leadership and followship skills. Field games and initiatives encourage group interaction and communication, so teams can explore their potential for becoming highly efficient and effective groups. Low course elements consisting of a series of ropes, cables, and logs, provide groups and individuals the opportunity to participate in a series of challenging and fun activities involving mental, physical, and emotional risk-taking in a supportive team environment. Programs are tailor-made to the needs and goals of the group.
The High Challenge Course Program is an experiential adventure program which offers a series of ropes, cables, and logs high-above-the-ground, and is geared more toward individual challenges. Trained facilitators will guide participants through the high ropes elements. Groups wishing to "go high" must first participate in a low course program.
All activities, whether low or high, are based on a "Challenge by Choice" philosophy. That means you always control the limits of your involvement. We provide a supportive and safe environment where individuals and groups reach beyond their expectations and try new adventures. The choice, however, is always yours regarding the role you play in all activities. We encourage any and all participants of every physical condition and over the age of eleven (11) to participate. No special skills are required to participate in either the low or high Challenge Course Program.Typical outcomes from participating in a challenge course program:
Where is the Challenge Course Program facilitated?
The Outdoor Challenge Course is located at the Lake Herrick Recreational Sports Complex, in the Oconee Forest Park, which is a 60-acre natural area administered by the Warnell School of Forest Resources. The park is a 100-year-old forest, and home to the largest scarlet oak tree in Georgia.
The Indoor Challenge Course is located in the Ramsey Student Center for Physical Activities, in Gym East.
Low and high Challenge Course Programs are offered at both facilities.
In addition to on-campus programming, our Challenge Course staff can also conduct low course field games and initiatives at outside venue locations including conference centers, hotels, training centers, schools or city parks.

Need more space
I've been mulling over how to fix my oven problems for quite some time now. About 7 months now. I have an idea of what all needs to be done, but don't have enough room in front of my oven to do it. I have the oven built over the foam shape from Brick Wood Ovens. Unfortunately, it has a lot of flaws and I don't want to tear it down and start over if I can avoid that. Here's what I'd like to do:
1) Close up existing chimney inside dome
2) Add smaller arch infront and close up opening, will also create the downward sloop for better heat flow
3) Build a second arch out front and make new chimney there.
4) Cover oven with cladding and if possible some insulation (vermicrete or fiber blanket).
My problem is that I only have enough room in front of my oven to build the first arch to close up the doorway. I need about 8-16 inches to create the new chimney as well.
Would it be possible to pour a small concrete footer in front of oven. Then build a "table" that would butt up next to the current concrete slab. I would probably drive rebar into the footer to later stack cinderblocks on for the "legs" of the table. Probably only one cinderblock deep (16"). I would of course pour concrete inside the cinderblocks and around rebar for extra stability. Then I would make a concrete slap for the "table" part our of 5000psi concrete and rebar (like I did for the part under my oven). I thought about adding a metal bar underneath to join the new one to the old one so it wouldn't move or fall forward since it will only be about 16-18" deep.
This would add an additional 16-18" infront of my oven, which is plenty of room to make the changes/additions I need to fix my poor oven problems.
All that being said. I have absolutely no concrete knowledge/experience other than what I've done on my oven so far so I don't even know if putting that addition on front is even doable or will work the way I'm hoping.
Any advise?

Every year the NFL draft projections change as free agents sign and players get traded, but nothing changes the landscape of the draft – and the league, for that matter – more than a starting quarterback finding a new home.
This year the man on the move is Kevin Kolb.
Everyone expects the Eagles to either re-sign or franchise Michael Vick, and when that happens Kevin Kolb is likely to demand a trade. Where he winds up could have a ripple effect on the draft.
Here's a look at a few possibilities:
The Bills own the 3rd pick, but it is entirely possible that they would prefer to avoid taking a quarterback. There are a number of 1st-round options, but no one jumps out as an obvious franchise quarterback. They may be content to trade for Kolb and use that pick on A.J. Green – a move which may actually have a more immediate impact on their rebuilding process. If that happened, it would mean the first quarterback wouldn't come off the board until the 5th pick at the earliest.
The Cardinals, who own the 5th pick, are another option. I believe Ken Whisenhunt would prefer to fix their quarterback situation with a veteran, rather than with a draft pick. He knows he's on a short leash, and drafting a quarterback would lead to a full rebuilding process which he likely wouldn't survive. Adding Kolb would immediately put them back in the playoff picture in the NFC West.
The 49ers are in a good position to land a quarterback in the draft, but there's no guarantee – especially if they have their heart set on someone in particular. In order to avoid the drama, they may prefer to trade for Kolb. That could cause for someone to fall to the Titans and/or Redskins.
The Titans are in a similar position to the Cardinals. They need a new quarterback, but their coach may not be around to see him develop. As a result, Jeff Fisher may push for the franchise to trade for Kolb or someone else who can help them win immediately. That could allow for someone to fall to the Redskins.
The Redskins don't seem interested in extending the Donovan McNabb era, but they also aren't in a position to feel comfortable about landing a quarterback in the draft. Trading for Kolb may be a smart move (if the Eagles could justify another trade within the division). If they trade for Kolb, it would increase the chances that a top quarterback falls out of the top 10, which the Vikings and Dolphins would be absolutely thrilled about.

This gate designed by the Venetian Michele Sanmicheli (1543) has four columns and three openings; the one in the middle is wide enough for carts while the smaller two are for pedestrians. The central arch bears a statue of St Chrysogone, the town's patron saint, and a winged lion of Venice. The structure was built at a time when the Venetians decided to reinforce the town's defences against possible Turkish attacks.

Illinois Women's Gymnastics at the NCAA Championships
Illini women's gymnastics team competed at the NCAA Championships in Los Angeles, California.
Kim Landrus enters her fourth year as head coach for the Illini and 13th overall coaching at Illinois. Landrus started out as assistant coach in 2002 before being promoted to associate head coach from 2006-10. In the gym, she primarily coaches the balance beam, in addition to choreographing the beam routines and structuring day-to-day practices. Outside the gym, she serves as recruiting coordinator, playing a vital role in both on- and off-campus recruiting.
Landrus' third year at the helm was one for the record books. The Illini earned back-to-back bids to the NCAA Championships for the first time in school history, recording their best ever score at Nationals with a 195.8. Illinois also tied its best finish ever with a final national ranking of 11th, ending the season in the top-25 for the ninth year in a row. The Orange and Blue broke the team total record at Gym Jam when they tallied a 197.1. In all, Illinois placed five total scores on the all-time top-10 list, including three of the top four. The Illini also set a new vault record with a 49.425 and once again posted three of the top four scores all-time. In fact, the Illini placed the following on the all-time event top-10 list: six bars scores, five beam scores and the fourth best floor score. In the postseason, Illinois recorded its second highest scores ever at Big Ten Championships (196.625) and NCAA Regionals (196.6), was a No. 2 seed at Regionals for the first time, produced two Regionals champions in Sunny Kato (bars) and Sarah Fiedler (beam), and notched four All-Big Ten honorees. In Landrus' signature event, the Illini ranked first on beam in the Big Ten conference, scoring a 49 or higher eight times on the event.
Landrus' second year as head coach was another memorable season in which the Illini qualified for their third NCAA Championships, tying its program high with a No. 11 final national ranking. Under Landrus' tutelage, senior Alina Weinstein thrived in her senior season, earning First-Team All-American on floor, winning three regional titles, etching her name in the Illini record books with the best all-around, floor and vault scores in program history, advancing to the floor finals at the NCAA Championships and becoming a Honda award finalist. Also, it was Landrus' signature event, the balance beam, which launched the Illini to Nationals. On their final rotation at the Morgantown Regional, the Orange and Blue recorded a 49.175 on beam and edged out Big Ten Champion Nebraska to take second place. Furthermore, Landrus coached four gymnasts to All-Big Ten honors, including Giana O'Connor who also won Big Ten Freshman of the Week twice in 2013. Finally, the team soared at the Big Ten Championships, finishing first in session one and fourth overall, with a season high 196.475.
In her first season as head coach, Landrus inspired the Illini to a No. 18 national ranking. The Orange and Blue finished fifth in the Big Ten with senior Kelsey Joannides winning her second career Big Ten title, tying for first on beam with a score of 9.900. Illinois, which hosted its first-ever regional at the State Farm Center, placed in the top three at the regional meet for the fifth year in a row after never finishing above fourth before 2008. Junior Alina Weinstein, who also won the NCAA regional on beam, earned a trip to the NCAA Championships after winning the all-around title at the NCAA Champaign Regional with a score of 39.450. Weinstein became the second gymnast in Illinois history to win multiple NCAA regional titles at the same meet, sharing that honor with Nancy Thies. Furthermore, it was the fifth year in a row Illinois was represented at the NCAA National Championships, and Weinstein became the 10th individual NCAA National qualifier in program history. In addition, Landrus coached three gymnasts to All Big Ten awards as Joannides was named to the first team while Weinstein and Amber See garnered second-team All-Big Ten honors.
In her first season as interim head coach, Landrus led Illinois to its highest national ranking in school history, as the Illini wrapped up the year ranked No. 11 following their second-ever appearance at the NCAA Championships. The Orange and Blue tied for second at the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional and placed third at the Big Ten Championships, reaching the podium for the fourth time in five years. The Illini also broke the then school record for team score (196.975 - now ranks 2nd) and balance beam (49.375) during the 2011 season. Individually, the Illini garnered six All-America honors, marking the most accolades in a single season in school history. Senior Melissa Fernandez turned in the best individual season in school history, picking up three All-America honors and twice earned a spot on the awards podium at the national meet. The Illini also boasted three All-Big Ten selections and a freshman Big Ten champion on vault in Amber See.
In 2010, Landrus helped the Illini finish in the Top 25 for the fifth-consecutive year with a No. 16 final national ranking. Her beam team ranked among the top-10 in the nation and turned in a season best 49.175, which currently stands tied for seventh all-time. The Illini took third at the NCAA Central Regional and boasted two individual national qualifiers in Sarah Schmidt (all-around) and Allison Buckley, who became just the second first-team All-American in school history with her performance on vault. The Orange and Blue also led the conference with four All-Big Ten selections, with Buckley, Schmidt and Fernandez on the first team and Nicole Cowart on the second team.
In 2009, Landrus played a big part in leading Illinois to one of its best seasons in school history. She was named co-National Assistant Coach of the Year by the NACGC after guiding the Illini to their first-ever NCAA Championship appearance. The Illini finished the season ranked 12th in the nation, and produced two All-Americans in the same season for the first time in school history. The Orange and Blue also took runner-up finishes at the Big Ten Championships and NCAA West Regional.
Landrus' 2009 beam squad was among the nation's elite, ranking in the top 15 nationally all season while re-writing the school record book. She helped Melissa Fernandez earn first-team All-America honors on the balance beam, Illinois' first NCAA first-team All-American, giving the Illini a beam All-American in two straight seasons for the first time ever. Landrus also guided the Illini to three top-10 beam scores in school history, including the score of 49.200 at the NCAA West Regional, which stands as the sixth best all-time. Landrus also coached Allison Buckley to the 2009 West Regional Beam title with an individual school record-tying 9.950, making her Illinois' first regional champion on the event in over 30 years.
Landrus has had much success during her 12-year tenure on the Illinois staff, playing a big role in Illinois' gradual rise to national prominence. She has helped lead the Illini to 11 straight NCAA Regional appearances from 2004-14, and has made the Illini a regular in the weekly top-25 polls, peaking at No. 11 after the 2011 and 2013 NCAA Championships and twice in 2014.
Since Landrus' arrival, the Illini beam squads have completely rewritten the top-ten scores in school history. In addition, Fernandez became the first Illini to twice advance to the NCAA individual event finals and notched the best individual finish in school history, tying for fifth on beam in 2011. She has coached two Big Ten Balance Beam Champions in Kelsey Joannides (2012) and Julie Crall (2008). Additionally, Allison Buckley became a second-team All-American on beam in 2008 under Landrus' tutelage, marking the program's first All-American at the NCAA Championships.
Landrus garnered the NCAA South Central Regional Assistant Coach of the Year honor in 2005, and helped qualify two University of Illinois individuals to the NCAA Championships in both 2004, 2008 and 2010, something that hadn't been done at Illinois since 1987.
Prior to coming to Illinois for the 2002-03 season, Landrus spent two years as an assistant coach for Iowa State University. At ISU, her beam team finished in the top 10 nationally in 2002 with a season-high ranking of fourth. Before her coaching career, Landrus was one of the most decorated gymnasts in Cyclone history. She was ISU's first-ever national qualifier in 1997, a two-time All Big XII Conference pick, the school's Most Valuable Gymnast in 1996 and 1997, and she recorded the first 10.0 in school history with a perfect performance on the floor exercise at the 1997 Big XII Championships. The four-year letter-winner was named ISU's Woman Athlete of the Year in 1997 and got inducted into the Iowa State Hall of Fame in 2013, becoming the first Cyclone female gymnast to accomplish this feat.
In addition to her stellar athletic career, Landrus also excelled in the classroom. She was a four-time Academic All-Conference selection, a two-time GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-American and was in the top two percent of her class when she earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance in 1997. Landrus received the Big XII Postgraduate Scholarship and the NCAA Women's Enhancement Program Postgraduate Scholarship after earning her undergraduate degree.
From 1998-2000, Landrus earned an MBA degree, while serving as a graduate assistant in compliance for the university. She also was the Iowa State gymnastics meet director, and coached at Cardinal Gymnastics Academy in Ames, Iowa. She completed her master's degree in business administration in May 2000.
Landrus and her husband Steve reside in Champaign and have one son, Zachary Steven (six years) and one daughter, Madelyn Ann (two years).

It has become a sorta tradition for the Kos family to go to JTree on dad's birthday. As part of his gift he gets to drag everyone up a climb of his choice.
This year, he picked the Wall of 10,000 Holds, on Ranger Station Rock, found at the end of Lost Horse road.
Not much of a climb, more of a technical scramble, but a good adventure nonetheless.
Little Sis somehow manages to get out of carrying a pack.
Why can't we just drive on the road?
And the end of the road, a short hike through a wash, and the "approach" begins.
It's a maze of boulders.
Providing some motivation.
Not there yet, but let's celebrate our progress!
Why can't my husband just watch football on Sunday, like everyone else?
This approach never ends...
Finally at base camp. Time to refuel.
The guidebook describes this area as a "sunken garden." It's a fun little spot. We still aren't at the base of the climb, but the terrain is getting pretty sketchy. We decide to rope up to get over the last few obstacles.
Ready to climb: Shoes, harness, helmet, lolipop.
The first "pitch." Twenty feet up a chimney with an exposed move over a bulge.
This takes us to another tier where we had to negotiate a short hand crack boulder problem, probably about 5.3, to get to the base of the climb.
The actual climb.
The kids thought that it should be called 10,000 "holes" instead of "holds."
The climb was great fun, and easier than the approach.
Big brother.
Brothers on the summit.
The girls come up together. I have no idea what was in the pack.
We summited as the sun was starting to set. The guidebook mentioned a walkoff, but I didn't see any easy route back down to our packs. I lowered the kids, as the sun was setting. There was no moon, and it got dark quickly. I carry a small headlamp in my chalk bag and I'm glad I had it.
After lowering everyone, I rapped off. I pulled the rope, and it almost made it. We all know that feeling when the rope goes taught. Bummer! The beam of my headlamp shone up into the darkness but I couldn't see where it got caught up. I wasn't surprised that it snagged, there were 10,000 possibilities.
I paid $80 for that rope. I was somewhat fond of it just because it was such a good deal, but we still had a tough scramble down to the base. I left the rope for booty.
Preparing for the scramble down in the dark.
We hiked back to the truck, and the kids had a good time with it. Lots of sliding down boulders by headlamp. On the road we turned off the headlamps to see the milky way spanning the night sky.
The next day I made a post on Mountain Project about the rope. I don't think that part of JTree gets much traffic, and I didn't want the rope to become litter.
I really didn't expect to see that rope again, but there are some generous folks out there in the climbing community.
Brandt picked up the rope a few days later, he got it to a friend of mine, who passed it on to another who lives in San Diego, and a couple weeks later I had my rope back.
The mountaineers are reunited with their lost rope.

The National Center for Transgender Equality honored SEIU this month with the Community Partner Award for our union's "outstanding efforts to expand access to healthcare for transgender people."
In 2011, SEIU updated our employee healthcare benefits to provide transgender-inclusive health benefits to all International staff and their dependents. Following this success, at SEIU's 25th Convention earlier this year, SEIU members unanimously voted to include trans-inclusive healthcare in contract bargaining.
These measures to protect SEIU members and staff from discrimination on the basis of gender identity are part of our union's efforts to ensure that all people are treated with dignity and fairness in the workplace and in our society.
Transgender people face significant challenges to healthcare access, in part because most public and private health insurance plans have discriminatory exclusions for transgender-related care that is often used to exclude virtually all care. SEIU is proud to fight this discrimination and stand in solidarity with our allies in the LGBT rights movement.
At an awards reception on December 5, NCTE Executive Director Mara Keisling praised SEIU's work and called for continued collaboration between unions and LGBT rights advocates. Her comment that "workers' rights are trans rights, and trans rights are workers' rights" drew applause from the crowd as she introduced the award.
Lauree Hayden, a senior staffer working on LGBTQ-labor intersections and part of the group who worked toward these trans-inclusive healthcare victories, accepted the award for SEIU. Hayden acknowledged transgender SEIU members in the crowd, including Lavender Caucus member and founder of the Transgender Caucus Gabriel Haaland. She spoke of "the lie of division", how the 1% divide us against ourselves in order to distract the 99% from our collective work for justice, and our need to unite in common purpose.

Dancing With The Stars
5 Things You Didn't Know About Tristan MacManus
Sure, you've read our cast bios for Dancing With the Stars Season 13 celebs, but what about the three new pros? There's more to them than good looks and sexy accents. So here are five bet-you-didn't-know tidbits about new pro — and Wetpaint Entertainment's official Crush Of The Season — Tristan MacManus.
1. He would rather be a professional soccer player
Tristan, 29, is a native of Bray, Ireland, which is about 12 miles south of Dublin. He told his hometown paper The Herald that he attributes his dance talent to his grandparents Jon and Phyllis McCann, who were professional dancers. "They got us into it, myself and my sister. My sister didn't last too long. She didn't like the attention, I suppose. Apparently I did." He gave up dancing for a while to have fun playing football (soccer) with his friends. "Where I come from, you don't really dance, you know. I think I was at the age, where, I suppose, I wanted to do what all me friends were doing," Tristan said. "I gave up dancing for a while, and then I realised I wasn't as good at football as I thought I was. Then I decided to go back to dancing." According to The Herald, he went on to win the All Ireland Championships in 2000, then got a part in musical Simply Ballroom in London, which took him to Las Vegas. Before joining the DWTS pro troupe for Season 13, he appeared in Ella Enchanted, was in the cast of the West End musical Dirty Dancing, and then joined dance company Burn the Floor.
2. He got here because of his accent … sort of
When Wetpaint Entertainment asked how he got involved with the DWTS dance troupe, Tristan explained, "It was by chance really, I was very aware of the show before but it was something I never thought about doing. I was working with London and DWTS contacted me about doing Season 11, but at the time I was in Burn the Floor and had just agreed to do the tour so didn't want to jump ship. Funnily enough, I had an audition for Strictly Come Dancing, the U.K. version of DWTS and they didn't want me." How could they not want him? Tristan also details how he and fellow troupe member Peta Murgatroyd managed to move up to the competitive side. "I tried to work as hard as I could on the troupe then I made it so it's all paid off. Initially it was an interview, and they had footage from the shows to see how I was on camera. While we were on the troupe we would still come in every day to dance and that was like a test along the way. Then we were given someone who had just started to dance to teach to get an idea of how we react to a novice. I've made it here because I have an accent, like a bit of a laugh, and I'm a good teacher."
3. He has five tattoos — so far
"They all mean something," Tristan told Wetpaint Entertainment of his tats. "I've got five at the moment, but the collection is not finished yet. I have three on right arm from Celtic mythology, it's broken up into four pieces so I have one more to get. On my ribs, I have my surname, in Ogham writing, which according to the the Natural History Museum of Ireland is the Celtic alphabet. My cousin at home has a tattoo parlor so I get them all done there. On my left forearm, it says 'My family, my friends, my heart,' in Gaelic. That's what I'm about, it's what is important to me so that was the first one I got four years ago." So cute! And it's almost like fellow pro Val Chmerkovskiy, who has "Family Over Everything" tattooed on his left arm.
4. Attention ladies — he's "frustratingly single"
Tristan isn't used to the attention he's getting and no matter what we say we can't get him to start tweeting, but eventually he's going to want to talk to women beyond his Season 13 dance partner Nancy Grace. "I'm very single, frustratingly single but I'm getting a lot of call backs now!" Tristan told Wetpaint Entertainment. "Nancy is the only girl I can think about it at the moment." Who are his dream ladies? "I love Rihanna, and Zoe Saldana, she is beautiful. I look at every girl and I think 'You're going to change my life.' I'm very down to earth at heart."
5. Get used to seeing his tongue stick out
Tristan got the full Nancy Grace treatment when he was on her HLN show recently. The clip of her interrogation is pretty adorable. She always grills and interrupts her guests and she battered Tristan with questions like, will he ever consider getting "a real job" like a doctor or lawyer? Was he really photographed in Vegas without his shirt on? ("False," he claims. "It was Reno!") And why is he always spotted with his tongue hanging out? "It falls out," he replied. "Me mouth's open all the time so it just falls out." Ha!

We are currently on a ferry on our way from Belem Brazil to Macapa Brazil. The voyage takes 24 hours and goes along several of the many fingers of the Amazon River. As the river approaches the Atlantic Ocean it has formed many large and small islands and the ferry has to navigate around them to cross. Most of the passengers are sleeping on hammocks that are strung on two main decks. We opted for a two person cabin with an air conditioner. The room is tiny with one bunk and a small head. The cabin got very cool at night because the air conditioner is either on or off with not temperature control. But, it was better than being on the deck. The views of the river have been interesting although it has rained most of the time and we couldnt look outside because the crew puts tarps down over the sides of the boat to keep the sleeping areas dry. To look out one has to go outside where it is raining. We have until the 22
of April to exit Brazil as our bikes had only a 90 day permit and they have been here almost that long. We didnt plan to stay so long but there have been delays in our journey due to family emergencies of mine, but we are on our way again now. We both spent from mid February until April 10
back in the USA. While it would have been kind of easy to stay in the comforts of home, we both wanted to finish the journey that we have started.
Our plans are to be in French Guyana on the 22
of April and then continue across to Suriname, then Guyana, back into Brazil which will connect us with Venezuela and finally ride to Bogota, Colombia where we can fly the bikes and us to Panama City, Panama where we will be able to then ride back to our homes in Texas. As we see it from the maps and other ride reports, to make it across to where we enter Brazil again, we will have three or four other river crossings by small boats. We have about 100 miles of unpaved road, out of 350 or so miles, between Macapa and the French Guiana border. Much of the road on to Brazil is paved but there will still be a few hundred miles that are unpaved. This being a rain forest climate, Im wondering just what we will find as far as roads for two wheels.
After being on the road so long we will probably not spend a lot of sight seeing time. We do plan to see the French Space Port and the Panama Canal locks. Other than those two definite sights, we will pick things up as we go.
I still have several photos to post and text to add about our journey and I will work on that more in the next several days. What I can still say is that the people that we have met along the way have all be as friendly and helpful as one could ever hope to find. We spent so much time getting up and across Brazil that there wasnt a lot of new information to add about borders and ride type information that would give heads up information to other riders. Once in the country it is pretty much deciding upon where one wants to go and going there. Our biggest problem is not being able to speak Portuguese because our limited Spanish is not much good and we have a very hard time talking to anyone. Not many people speak English and travelers need to take that into consideration for such simple things as asking directions, ordering food or finding accommodations.
We made it to the port in Santana a little past noon. There is not a lot in Santana so we rode to the Hotel Macapa and checked in for the night. Being tired of cookies and cereal, we went across the street to an open air restaurant on the Amazon River where they had an all you can eat buffet for only 10 Reals, or $5.00 US. We ate a very good meal of various meats, cooked right there, rice and beans and a few other extras. We came back to the room and will be getting ready to leave early in the morning and plan on two days to get to the border. We will ride all the paved road tomorrow and save the unpaved for the following day. While we have internet here, it is not too good and Im not going to try and upload photos.

Already, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESCR) has appointed seven one-year fellowships, which will look into various aspects of Scottish independence. But in a parliamentary answer, David Willetts, the UK Science Minister, has revealed the ESCR is "in the process of commissioning an additional two fellowships".
The senior fellows, Mr Willetts said, would "act as champions for the social sciences, promoting the importance of social science research in addressing current and future issues in relation to possible Scottish independence".

I have heard it said of some, "He feels strongly about that both ways." The meaning is that his feelings and opinion depend solely upon whom he is in the presence of. It seems that President Obama has feelings about some things both ways. In 2006, then-Sen. Obama delivered a scathing address to the Senate during a debate to decide whether to raise the debt ceiling. Then, Obama felt that it was a lack of leadership for President Bush to even think of raising the debt ceiling. Now, that senator sits in the same office as his predecessor. President Obama thinks raising the debt ceiling is necessary and reflects great leadership skill on his part.
God has blessed me with the responsibility of owning a farm in Grady County. We had to obtain financing, and that we did. Over the years, dollars and labor have been expended in order to have a return on the produce. Occasionally there were times when the expenses exceeded the income, and we had to pay as much as we could and then negotiate with the bank to go along for another year. We learned that we needed to put some income aside for lean years. We learned we needed to be concerned about the expenses. Countless people across this great nation have done the same thing — control spending.
It is amazing to me
that many in Congress have experienced the same thing in their private and professional lives. There is not one enterprise that can
succeed or long last if expenses always exceed income. It is convenient
for many of our elected officials to forget from whence they come and to whom they represent, and to develop a mindset that the income stream will never end.
If our government continues to spend, one day the nation's back will break and then what will we do?

Basic economics is beyond the realm of our elected officials. They are all afraid of cutting spending because it will hurt the economy. They seem to have no conception of the fact that if they continue to spend the economy will collapse. Much as Germany's did when they got done with WWI reparations. I still have some million mark notes my Maternal Grandfather kept as a reminder of his relatives in Germany's suffering. He mailed them packages of food stuffs after both wars. He received the Million Mark Notes in return as souviners, because they were worthless. Wouldn't even buy a loaf of bread. My Mother's Cousin had a whole entrance way papered in them as a reminder of what things had been like before he came to America. He served on our side in WWII and was glad to do it.

Tonight, January 4th, PJ's Lager House will be kick-starting 2013 with a show featuring four bands: Lawnmower, Pistolbrides, Young Squares and New Centaur.
Lawnmower, hailing from a number of Metro Detroit enclaves, is upbeat indie rock, and their set will presumably feature tunes off their new release "Whack Yer Brain," the follow-up to 2010's "Franchise Wings."
Pistolbrides, from Grand Rapids, has an smooth sound, slightly slower-paced, and experimental, but still bright, even covering gloomier subject matter, as on the 2010 single "Sleepwalking."
New Centaur is Detroit-based, with an experimental sound and deeply psychedelic bent. They held the release for their recent record in December at Found Sound in Ferndale (you can see the show here).
Young Squares are Detroit-based and have a strong local following. More on their sound cannot be offered by this blogger until they take the stage tonight. Overall, it promises to be an excellent show and high-energy crowd; a lot of bang for the $5 cover charge.
PJ's Lager House is located at 1254 Michigan Ave. (three blocks East of old Tiger Stadium and two blocks West of MGM Grand), Detroit; 313-961-4668; http://www.pjslagerhouse.com. Doors open at 9 p.m., and the show will run late. Ages 21 and older admitted.

The celebrant and preacher at parish communion on Remembrance Sunday was the Rev Peter Bradford.
He was assisted by Betty Booker, lay reader. Cherith Castle read the lesson and Roger Schiff led the prayers. Mr Bradford spoke of the dreadful impact of two world wars and the many conflicts since, right to the present day. There was a pause at 11am for a two- minute silent tribute. Music for the service included hymns associated with remembrance and, as a voluntary during communion, Elgar's Nimrod, from the Enigma Variations, was beautifully played by organist Richard Berry.

I have issues when submission guidelines ask for "What books does your novel compare to?" If I'd have found someone who wrote what exactly I wanted to read, I wouldn't have wasted my time writing the novel to begin with. I'd have been busy reading.ReplyDelete
Write the story you want to read.
Forget what others I may emulate, I struggle to have the words form a sentence that resembles the English langauge. Spell check is constantly telling me..."sorry, I've got nothing." Hm, maybe I too need to write in the wee hours while sipping something other than tea.ReplyDelete

The University of Colorado Denver Semester in Beijing program opens doors to greater cultural understanding and in-depth global education. Through a rigorous curriculum, American and Chinese students take courses together in English at the International College Beijing, a joint program between the University of Colorado Denver and China Agricultural University.
The objective of the course is to introduce students to important historical, political, and economic perspectives on doing business in China today.
Currently based in Shanghai and Nanjing, this 6-credit design graduate-level urban design studio focuses on the complexities of conducting global design practice in rapidly urbanizing regions of the world.
The purpose of this course is to provide students with first-hand experience in experiencing and analyzing the narratives China has constructed to present a transformed image of itself to the world, prompted by its hosting of the 2008 Olympics.
Along the transect, students will examine China's legacy of foreign occupation, the emergence of new spaces of industrial development, the dynamics of urban growth, the modernization of agriculture and rural village life, and the refashioning of human-environmental relationships.
