Komfort has helped create a bespoke work environment spanning 11366 sq feet that promotes morale and team-based working thanks to the innovative use of its partitioning products.
When ABC Environments purchased a new three storey office building in Cheshire, ABC's in house design team wanted an office interior that would incorporate brand identity, and expand on their open plan theme. After consultations with Komfort, the decision was taken to install single glazed Polar that ran the full floor to ceiling height to maximise light and space.
Silicon joints were used to further minimise the impact of the glass partitioning whilst the inclusion of sliding and pivot doors offered less intrusion into the available space. The glazing framework had to be subtle and not intrude into the open plan space therefore ABC specified bespoke base tracks coloured to a specific RAL code that matched the carpet. One of the stand out design features is the central fins, which uses full height glazed partitions to create a stand alone element ideal for casual meetings, and to display items of furniture. The clear glass was installed with opaque manifestations with ABC's corporate branding these were further enhanced by floor receded LED lights, creating a stunning effect this central area.
Attention to detail was imperative throughout, and Komfort supplied seven different bespoke manifestations designed to further enhance and encourage staff morale and incorporate ABC's brand colours of white and green. For areas that required more practical applications, Komfort's KM3 Storagewall was installed with a white MFC finish to provide streamlined and discreet storage space. Full height veneered doors were used in the entrances and hallways to carry on hi-spec theme throughout the building of the project.
Phil Tantum at ABC said: "The inclusion of Komfort's partitioning system allowed us to accomplish our goal of delivering an environment that was stylish but most of all worked to benefit the staff, whether through meeting spaces, private offices or simply a relaxing breakout space. The attention to detail throughout all aspects of the build was second to none and the addition of elements such as LED lighting only served to emphasise the stunning effect of the partitioning."
ABC Environments specialise in the management of fit-out's or refurbishment of commercial premises. They create tailored environments that efficiently utilise space in order to provide effective and unique workplaces.

text: [[quoteright:248:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_stroker_and_hoop_4385.png]]An animated [[SatireParodyPastiche parody]] of the BuddyCopShow, especially ''Series/StarskyAndHutch''. Features two semi-competent yet ineffective {{Private Detective}}s, John "Stroker" Strockmeyer, his partner Hoop Schwartz, and their self-aware robotic car, C.A.R.R.Stroker ([[Series/{{Delocated}} Jon Glaser]]) falls short as a detective mostly due to his own short-sightedness, self-involvement and greed more than bad investigative skills. He has a young son (by his Latina ex-wife), whom he loves, even if he can't quite seem to show it properly.Hoop (Speed Levitch) is a very touchy-feely, sensitive, pacifistic sort who's dressed like a bad motivational speaker. He prefers to talk problems out rather than skip straight to the gunplay. [[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption This never works.]]C.A.R.R. (Paul Christie) is essentially the opposite of K.I.T.T. from ''Series/KnightRider''. He's a junky old beater (not quite TheAllegedCar, but past his prime), he's not too smart, and lacks any really useful gadgetry other than [[DeadpanSnarker talking]] and the ability to drive himself. He listens to a lot of ultra-right-wing talk shows, since he doesn't have an FM radio. He was built by Stroker's mechanic friend "Double-Wide" (who is voiced by Curtis "Booger" Armstrong), whose ''odd'' private life is often helpful.Finally, they are aided by the jovial, and perhaps [[OnlySaneMan most competent]], Coroner Rick. He is often played as a BlackBestFriend to quite nearly every main character.The characters all had a good dose of GenreSavvy, though they often failed anyway, and many a {{Lampshade}} was hung on various tropes. As far as trope use in parodies goes, this show is a great example.This show airs in the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block on Sunday night.[[ShortRunners Canceled only after a season of 13 episodes]] and with [[LeftHanging no ending]].!!This show provides examples of:* AntiHero: Stroker. By contrast, however, Hoop is very kind and innocent (When not provoked into avenging his fallen comrades).* AttendingYourOwnFuneral: Though Stroker later admits that bringing his son to his own funeral was a crappy idea.* AtrociousAlias: It's never revealed exactly what gave Stroker the inspiration for his nickname, but it can't have been anything good.* AutopsySnackTime: Coroner Rick does this.* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hoop, though this does get played with in a few ways.* BilingualBackfire: During this exchange in "Rube Job".-->'''Tio:''' (In Spanish) Then we'll kill you.-->'''Henchman:''' (In Spanish) After we cut your balls off and feed them to you.-->'''Double-Wide:''' (In Spanish) I sure wish I didn't know Spanish.* BlackComedy: Coroner Rick is an in-universe example...if only to himself.-->"Why they always gotta land face-down like that?"* BlofeldPloy: [[spoiler:{{Double Subver|sion}}ted.]]** Further, too much of this causes a villain to run out of henchmen for when Stroker and Hoop appear.* {{Bond|One Liner}}[=/=]PreMortemOneLiner: Hoop in one episode. They're all [[{{Pun}} pretty bad]].* BuddyCopShow* CasanovaWannabe: Stroker. And '''how.'''* CeilingCling: Subverted, the guy they're hiding from sees them immediately.* ChekhovsBoomerang: one episode was set in motion by the duo buying a billboard for "Stroker and Hoop, ''[[FailedASpotCheck Detectvies]]''". In a later episode the pair lampshade that they'll have anonymity against a gang who has no idea who they are. The gang leader looks up and sees the billboard still there, still misspelled. Stroker even says he forgot they had it.* ChickMagnet: Hoop actually pulls in a fair share of legit tail. Including a short lived girlfriend, Judd Winners wife, and {{Ninja}} girl Sukko.* CliffHanger / LeftHanging / NoEnding: [[spoiler: The final episode see Stroker, Hoop and Double Wide locked in C.A.R.R and dangling over a canyon via a giant magnet by a mysterious caller who gives them three guesses to name who he is. The whole episode is mostly a clip show of the season before its revealed that their captor is a minor background character who had the same voice but kept changing his appearance due to his run ins with Stroker and Hoop and their direct or indirect actions which ruined his life. Coroner Rick manages to find out who he is and shoots him. But the captor ends up landing on the switch to the magnet which drops C.A.R.R into the canyon followed by an explosion. The show ends ambiguous of the protagonists' fate.]] * ConspiracyTheorist: Ron Howard is trying to control his mind.** Subverted, in that Ron Howard actually was trying to control his mind.* EitherOrTitle* FakingTheDead: Stroker and Keith in "Ninja Worrier".* GenreSavvy: One explicit example is when the pair are solving a mystery in TheDeepSouth.--> "In these situations it's always either the corrupt mayor, a random hillbilly, or the corrupt sheriff."** It was in fact [[spoiler: the corrupt sheriff.]]** And done again at the end of the episode [[spoiler: as the sheriff was an identical cousin of Hoop and they wound up arresting the wrong guy. But as Stroker, Double Wide and the Sheriff are leaving, the former two notice the sheriff rubbing his hands evilly. They question this before u-turning back to the police compound to be on the safe side]].* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Averted and lampshaded in "The Wrath of Khan'Ja" when Stroker [[DressingAsTheEnemy knocks out a guard and steals his clothes]] to try to get into the FPI headquarters. It turns out the other guard was watching the camera.* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Composed of {{Pun Based Title}}s* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: Lampshaded. A dying karate instructor entrusts the handle of a magic sword to Stroker's son Keith and warns that reuniting the handle with the pieces of the blade would be disastrous. Stroker asks why, if it's such a big deal, the sword wasn't destroyed completely, even suggesting flushing it down the toilet or something.** When the sword is reassembled, it's nothing more than an over sized flashlight. Hoop, who was fighting with the villain using the sword, noted that when the sword was broken and separated centuries ago, that people in ancient China would've seen that as amazing or terrifying.*** Of course, when you shine the light on the dead... * InstantSedation: Parodied. A camera guy gets hit in the head and falls down unconscious. After Stroker tries to explain to the other crew member that this trope is what's going on, he pretends he's knocked rather than risk brain damage/death.* InterruptedCooldownHug: In "Ninja Worrier", when [[spoiler: Hoop manages to convince Souko not to kill him after he kills her ex-boyfriends avenging Stroker's (fake) death, but Stroker ends up shooting her, causing her to fall into power lines and eventually get run over.]]* LogicBomb: Stroker notices a particularly devastating flaw in the cannibal cult's logic.--> '''Cultists''': Eat a person, be a person, eat a person, be a person...\\'''Stroker''': So wait, your philosophy is you are what you eat, right?\\'''Cult Leader''': Yes.\\'''Stroker''': So, if I eat a hamburger, then I'm a hamburger, right?\\'''Cult Leader''': Yes.\\'''Stroker''': And then...if you eat me, ''you're'' hamburgers too, right?\\'''Cult Leader''': ...* MeaningfulName: Khan'Ja = Conned Ya* MostCommonSuperPower: In 'XXX Wife'. Actually ''was'' a superpower, as [[MeaningfulName Areola]]'s [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin areolas]] could hypnotize almost anyone into doing almost anything.* MuggedForDisguise: Stroker and Hoop mug two camera men for a disguise, with Stroker breaking a bottle on one guys head, with th other freaking out, when the first man no longer moves. He convinces them not to knock him out (and possibly give him a concussion), by pretending to be unconscious. The two proceed to waste a lot of time getting the guys out of their clothes (with the conscious guy having to loosen his belt), and Hoop insisting on putting on one's underwear. The guy they're supposed to spy on gets mad when his "Camera Crew" turn up almost an hour late.* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pretty much the entire series.* {{Ninja}}* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Hoop's mother Rose, when wrongfully imprisoned after being framed for murder, [[spoiler: kills an inmate who stabbed her, then fakes her suicide in order to get Coroner Rick help her escape. And when he doesn't comply, threatens to give him a "Colombian jockstrap" by holding a knife to his crotch.]]* OhCrap: After waking up from a night of drunken sex with a blonde bombshell, things go quickly downhill for Stroker.--> '''Stroker''': (wakes up alone) Oh crap. (notices ''Hoop'' is actually in the bed with him) Oh crap! (notices [[OrganTheft he has stitches where his kidney should be]]) Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap...* ParodyNames--> '''C.A.R.R.:''' "On Dashiell, on Danzig, on Randolph, on Blitzkrieg, on other non-copyrighted names!"* RealityEnsues: Many examples PlayedForLaughs, see MuggedForDisguise above* RegretEatingMe: When it looks like he's going to be eaten by cannibals, Stroker tells them, "I hope you choke on my assbone bitches."* ReliablyUnreliableGuns: Combined with AccidentalAimingSkills at the start of one episode. Stroker and Hoop are held up by a Columbian drug dealer and are forced to drop their guns.. which go off, injuring both the drug dealer and his wife (who was inexplicably not present until just then). Stroker immediately lampshades it by stating he can't shoot that well when he actually aims.* SkywardScream: "[[ShoutOut KHAAAAAAAAAAAN...ja]]"* TakeThat: The New Hampshire Fuzzy Bear company to the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.** Almost every episode has a take that to somebody or some company, from Ronco to Ron Howard.* TapOnTheHead: {{Averted}} and {{lampshaded}}* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: The episode "I Saw Stroker Killing Santa Claus".See Also:* The Adult Swim Stroker and Hoop [[http://www.adultswim.com/shows/strokerandhoop/index.html website]] ----

Make sure you place it in a good position in the room or workspace that you have dedicated to be your office. Ideally, to get good office Feng Shui, the room should have a real door that closes, and even locks.
The fundamental principle of power desk placement is called "commanding position" in Office Feng Shui. A weak desk position makes your path more difficult than necessary by creating hidden obstacles. A powerful commanding position harmonizes and focuses the energy in your space. It utilizes your sensory awareness and your physical relationship to your environment in a way that enhances your sense of protection and safety, your personal power, and your career abundance.
Commanding position energetically puts you in command of your environment and the situations that occur within it. It also enhances your leadership and authority. If you work with others, it makes you less likely to be interfered with or sabotaged by attacks and backbiting.
But a commanding position should not be overdone, like those trucks you see driving around on five-foot-tall tires, requiring a ladder for riders to climb into the cab.
Benito Mussolini was famous for his exaggerated use of the commanding position method. He had his desk placed with his back to the wall at the far end of an enor¬mous marble hall. When someone was ushered into his office, they had to cross nearly a hundred feet of highly polished marble to his desk. This is commanding-position overkill; real power requires a balanced perspective. We should be in command of our life, not obsessively trying to dominate others.
To employ commanding position in Office Feng Shui, first place your chair as far from the door as you practically can. The more space between you and the door, the more territory you command. (But don't use a vast marble hall as your office!) You also have maximum time to notice what's happening at the entrance, see who is approaching, and react appropriately.
This principle accommodates our evolutionarily programmed need to be aware of our environment, and to be ready and able to respond to both danger and opportunity.
And it wotks whether or not you're consciously aware of it, or even believe in it. From an energy perspective, locating yourself farthest from the door puts you in a position to gather maximum chi, and gives you an enhanced strategic position. This usually means that you will be sitting in the opposite corner from the door. If the door is in the center of the wall, you can choose either corner.
Seeing the DoorNext, you want to be able to see the door clearly from your sitting position. This is critically important, as you inherently want to know who or what is approaching you. This is survival instinct, and you are subject to it whether you know it or not. Place your desk so that you see the door in your forward field of vision, and don't have a door or an entryway behind you or at your side. If your office has multiple doors, endeavor to sit where you can see the main door; you can also use the mirror tip below to put any other doors within view.
See a Wider ViewThe above position should be integrated with the companion principle of seeing the widest scope of the room possible. Sit facing the main expanse of the room, not with your back to the door. This helps for two reasons. It bolsters the subconscious feelings of security and control mentioned above. Also, seeing a wider vista expands your perspective, inspires greater optimism, and supports a future-oriented vision.
Sit Outside the Door LineYou will automatically observe the next maxim if you have followed the first three, but it's important enough to emphasize on its own: The desk should be outside the direct line of the door. If you sit directly in the path of the door, you become vulnerable, and therefore not in command. If this isn't feasible, the cure is to hang a faceted crystal sphere halfway between the door and the desk.
Enjoy Good BackingAn additional point of emphasis for desk positioning is to sit with your back to a solid wall. This is the same principle as positioning a fort in front of a mountain for protection. The mountain provides solid backing and a sense of support, as attackers are less likely to come over a mountain. In the same way, no one can attack you from behind when your back is to the wall. (If they can walk through walls, you don't have a chance anyway, so don't worry about it.)
Conversely, sitting with your back to a window or door creates unnecessary vulnerability and distracts your awareness, subtly drawing your attention backward. If you must sit in this position, apply this cure: hang a crystal sphere or wind chime between yourself and the door or window behind you.
The height of your chair back also relates to your success. It is recommended that the back of your chair go up at least to shoulder level for strength and protection. If the back extends as high as the top of your head, this is even stronger.
When you place the front of your desk directly against a wall, as is the case in many home desk setups, you lose the view in front of you, you feel blocked (because you are), and you diminish your future-oriented vision. Some feel that having their desk against a window affords them the view and corresponding freedom of thought and creativity. It's a nice theory but one that doesn't seem to hold up in practice.
If you have this feeling, I suggest you employ a commanding position that additionally provides a pleasing outer view from a side window or one opposite your desk position.
In a corporate cubicle, you have little choice as to your desk position, and you must depend on Feng Shui cures to bridge the gap.
Due to design limitations, you may have little choice as to your setup at home. In either case, if your back is to the door or entrance, there is an effective cure. Place the largest mirror possible in a position that enables you to see the entryway to your space from your typical sitting position. If you need to cover multiple angles or entries to your space, use a large convex mirror.
Effective mirror placement puts your door visually in front of you, which is the preferred position. While this cure is not as good as physically facing the door, it is a good solution yielding true benefits.
Another element to take into account in power desk positioning is the angle at which you place your desk. Since the commanding position is usually near a corner, you can place your desk so that your back is to whichever of the walls feels best.
If you have windows on more than one wall, and proper placement in relation to the door requires that you have your back to a window, choose the smallest window; if the windows are the same size, place your back to the window that opens onto the quietest, least trafficked area.
To help your career take off like a 747, place your desk at an angle, with the corner behind you (see picture). Use this only if it is practical in the space you have, considering all factors. To enhance this angled desk position you can put a plant in the corner behind your chair. You can also place a standing lamp behind the chair that arches up and over the desk. Having a powerful desk position In a settled location is important, as it imparts a sense of stability and belonging. You don't want to feel like a refugee in your own office.
Also, if you are sitting a little low in relation to your tabletop, you may find that you are missing various opportunities and being overlooked.
Consider placing a small platform under your chair, which will raise you to an ergonomically acceptable level in relation to your desk. This platform is a symbol of kingship and confidence. Even if you don't feel confident at first and don't feel that you can get the job of your dreams, you will be attracting this kind of energy to yourself by sitting on your platform, and eventually you will feel able to take control of your life and aim high.

About Me Espresso Connaisseur
Comments about The Coffee Bean Intenso Espresso Capsule:
In a 6 oz mug I use 2 capsules and add 1/2 cup of frothed milk. I pre-heat the mug to keep the temperature. During my breakfast I keep the mug on an electric mug warmen to preserve the temperature. I have tried all the Espresso capsules from CBTL and this one is the best. I wish it had more AROMA. I buy others just so it does not become monotonous. INTENSO CAPSULE is the closest to the perfect espresso.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not too intense
By dbabe
from Minneapolis, MN
The Intenso expresso isn't as intense as the Italian Roast, but on weekends it makes a great second (and third) cup. Some people have told me it isn't as "bitter" as the Italian Roast. Maybe that's why it seems smoother.I like it very much.
Fully delicious, not bitter
By John
from Florida
All CBTL expresso capsules are wonderful coffees, foamy and robust, but as the name of this particular expresso suggests this is delightfully intense in aroma and flavor. We serve our expressos as coffees using a 10 oz serving size. Even, drinkable without cream or sugar, but we prefer a little cream to complement the already creamy serving. The Intenso is my personal favorite, morning and night, though my wife most often enjoys her Premium decaf or French and Italian decafs.

I had a shot of Intenso this morning for breakfast. It's smooth and dark, not bitter. I didn't use any sugar or cream, I just sipped on the espresso shot and let the morning come at me. I haven't tried it as a cup of coffee yet, but it is great as a shot! As the name says, it is intense.

Bath & Body Works Liplicious All I Want Lipgloss Gift Set
Be honest with me, does your letter to Santa read,
"Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is EVERYTHING!
k, thanks, say hey to the Misses for me!
Your biggest fan"
If you're that type of beauty junkie, the one that wants one of every color of eyeshadow, one of every flavor of lipgloss…ya know, the selfish, greedy type, you'll love the Bath and Body Works All I Want Liplicious Gift Set.
This sets includes all five of the limited edition, All I Want Lipglosses in mini size that recently released at Bath and Body Works.
You get:
- Cranberry Kiss
- Peppermint Hug
- Gingerbread Giggle
- Snickerdoodle Squeeze
- Candied Smile
The set is $16.50 and available now at Bath & Body Works.
I dunno about you but this makes me feel less guilty about hauling TOO many Liplicious Lipglosses plus it tames the wild, selfish beauty beast that demands I have one of each of every LE lipgloss that Liplicious puts out.
11/7/11 11:15 ng li:
I LOVE this type of sets. I can never finish a whole tube of lipgloss bcos I have so many. This is actually a good idea to sample everything yet not making me guilty =D
11/7/11 12:12 Sara:
Ooh, I was at my B&BW on Satuday and holy jeebus they had a *gigantic* display of lip stuff. Gi-gan-tic. It was like a mountain of clear plastic fishbowl things piled on top of each other in to the shape of a tree. There were waaaayyyy too many lip glosses to mess about with, but I do remember liking the snickerdoodle. Settled on one lonely gloss with black/red design instead. Nice but Naughty? Something like that. It's gold and turns pink and is AWESOME. Have you grabbed any of these glosses yet?
11/7/11 14:46 Sara:
Hmm..I think I missed that. Must go looking!
11/7/11 13:26 Regina:
I have at least 200+ lip products so I'll be skipping this set
5/21/14 18:26 tiana smith:
it is sooooooooo sweet I wish I could get all of them for free

Quilt by Sandi Irish.
Sandi Irish used a beautiful collection of batiks to make this striking quilt. The greens and teals, shaded from light in the center to darker at the corners, add to the watery effect. Although she used only one easy block, by carefully placing the colors, she created a Snail�s Trail design.

The Keewaydin Environmental Education Center (KEEC) was founded in the fall of 1973 by Abbott Fenn and Alfred "Waboos" Hare, then co-owners and directors of Keewaydin Camps. Both retired schoolteachers, KEEC was inspired by a combination of their strong interest in education and their love of the outdoors, as well as their desire to use the summer camp property for more than two months of the year. The curriculum was based initially on an environmental education workshop developed by the US Forest Service.
By the mid-1980's, Barry Schultz King and Warren King expanded the program curriculum and helped develop long lasting relationships with many different schools around Vermont. A lot of these schools still come. In 1996, Tori Willis took over the reigns of the KEEC program. Tori offered four fun and energetic years as director of Spring, Fall and Winter KEEC. In 2001, Dave Konopke took over and steadfastly directed the program convincing the foundation to re-establish the Fall season after it was stopped in 2000. Tim Tadlock took over as Director in 2005. He is a graduate of Prescott College and first joined the KEEC staff in the Spring of 2000. Tim has also been a memeber of the staff at Keewaydin's summer camp on Lake Dunmore since 1997.

|Bears Subdue Concord, 26-6, In 2011 Season Opener
|Written by LRU Sports Information
|Sunday, 04 September 2011 05:51
The Lenoir-Rhyne University Football Team (1-0) got its 2011 season off to a rousing start with a 26-6 win over Concord University (0-1) Saturday night at Callaghan Stadium.L-R Head Coach Mike Houston also picked up the victory in his coaching debut as Bear mentor.
Senior quarterback Major Herron (Kingsland, Ga.) accounted for three touchdowns (two passing and one running) while redshirt freshman fullback Isaiah Whitaker (Salisbury, N.C.) led the Bears ground game with 104 yards as Lenoir-Rhyne snapped a two-game losing streak to Concord.
Lenoir-Rhyne, who led the nation in rushing last season, held a 415-154 edge in total yards including 297 yards on the ground.
The Bears also held the ball for 41:48 out of the possible 60 minutes of regulation and limited Concord to 12 yards rushing for the game.
Lenoir-Rhyne opened the scoring on its second drive of the night when Herron found junior tight end Jared Thompson (Statesville, N.C.) in the back of the end zone from 14 yards out late in the first quarter that capped off an eight-play, 75-yard drive.
Concord quickly tied the contest early in the second quarter when running back Brian Kennedy (Centreville, Va.) scored from five yards out on the ground.
The Bears, however, extended the lead to 9-6 when senior defensive back Jamont Jones (Washington, N.C.) returned the blocked extra point nearly 100 yards for a two-point conversion.
Herron's second touchdown pass of the game, a 21-yarder to sophomore half back Corron Boston (Durham, N.C.), with 27 seconds remaining before intermission pushed L-R's advantage to 16-6.
Herron scored from two yards out on the ground to increase the margin to 23-6 at the 1:49 mark of the third quarter. The score finished off a 10-play, 78-yard drive for the Bears.
Senior placekicker Colin Corpe (Ocala, Fla.) rounded out the scoring for the Bears with a 21-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
On defense, the Bears were led by sophomore linebacker Zach Long (Advance, N.C.) with seven tackles while the Mountain Lions were paced by Jake Lilly's (Blufield, W.Va.) 16 tackles.
L-R remains on the road next Saturday when it travels to Davidson, N.C., to take on Davidson College beginning at 7 p.m. Concord, meanwhile, faces Elon on the road Saturday at 7 p.m., as well.
Barton Men's Soccer Rallies To Defeat Lenoir-Rhyne, 2-1
The Barton College Men's Soccer Team (2-0) spotted Lenoir-Rhyne University (0-2) a one-goal lead but rallied to win by a 2-1 score Saturday evening to remain undefeated on the year.

text: Dan Davis The Daily Jeffersonian A Guernsey County woman accused of raping a handicapped 4-year-old girl entered a plea of not guilty in Guernsey County Common Pleas Court on Thursday. Patricia A. Kelley, 39, formerly of Happydale Road, entered the written plea through her legal counsel, Attorney Jack Blakeslee. She was indicted on four counts of rape, all first-degree felonies, with each count containing a specification for life imprisonment. Counts of complicity to commit rape with a specification of life imprisonment and pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a second-degree felony, also were filed against her. Kelley was scheduled to appear in the court April 19 for arraignment, but opted to submit the written plea. Her alleged accomplice, John D. Stoneman, 39, was indicted on three counts of rape, all first-degree felonies, with specifications of life in prison, a second-degree felony charge of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, pandering obscenity involving a minor, a fourth-degree felony, and the unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance, a felony in the fifth-degree. He is scheduled to appear in the court Monday for an arraignment hearing. Both are being held in the Guernsey County jail on $10 million bonds, handed down by Municipal Court Judge John Mark Nicholson. The twosome are believed to have raped the girl while she was under the care of Kelley, a former nurse. The alleged assaults were reportedly recorded on video. The pair was captured in Canada on March 4. Officials there have reportedly filed charges of possessing child pornography against them. Those charges will reportedly be pursued following the completion of the case here.

To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Sep 10, 2009) The Bar Associations of Tehran and of all provincial cities in Iran unanimously and strenuously objected to new regulations recently recommended by the Judiciary. These regulations authorize the Judiciary to extend or suspend the permits of practicing lawyers. The Bar Associations Union, reflecting the opposition of the Bar Associations, demanded that the regulations be withdrawn forthwith.
The Union argued that the Bar Association is an independent institution and has the right to suspend or renew the permits of its members. Encroaching on this right of the Bar Association is inconsistent with its independence and strikes to the very foundation of justice, the Union said.
As a result of this unanimous and strong opposition, the Chairman of the Judiciary suspended the implementation of the regulations for a period of six months. (Following Strong Objection of the Bar Associations of Iran, the Judiciary Withheld Implementation of the New Regulations [in Farsi], Iran Times International, Aug. 7, 2009, at 5.)

Perceptions for April 2009
What is meant by the word "character"? Sometimes we use the word to describe someone with particular qualities in
their life. For example, we say, He is quite a character. At other times the word "character" is used to denote a symbol representing speech. For example, we affirm that the
Greek alphabet has 24 characters. In this brief article the word is used to represent the inherent complex of attributes that determines a persons moral and ethical actions
and reactions.

Heads up! A newer version of this product is out!
Criteria Comments Rating
- Image quality I've been nothing but thrilled with the image quality of this camera. Better than my Canon 20D and T1i.
- Video quality Great 1080/60 video. I've heard some early buyers having a click sound in audio, but i don't. Suffers from rolling shutter like all photo cameras doing video.
- Battery life Battery is good for normal use. On vacation, the battery lasted multiple days, even though I took a lot of photos.
- Design and form factor The size and weight are really good. It feels good in hand. The hot shoe on top is quirky, and is limited on what can be used.
- Durability It's held up well so far, but if it dropped out of my hand onto a hard surface...I imagine that would not go well.
- Speed (start-up time, lag) Very pleased with how fast I can start shooting after turning the camera on.
- Ease of use Generally easy to use, but there is a bit of a learning curve for the menu system.
Detailed review
I really like the NEX-5N. This has replaced my other DSLRs, and I am happy. Sony needs to add more lens options, and better flashes to make this even better.
good review!

A set of images all taken on my recent canalboat holiday on the Grand Union Canal, these were all taken whilst ascending and descending Foxton Locks near the village of Foxton in Leicestershire. The weather was very foggy when we ascended the locks but sunny when we descended them. Foxton Locks is the largest flight of staircase locks on the English canal system with two "staircases" of five locks. They are located on the Leicester Line of the Grand Union Canal 5km West of Market Harborough close to the nearby village of Foxton. They form the Northern terminus of a 20 mile summit level that passes Husbands Bosworth, Crick and ends with the Watford Flight.
Staircase locks are used where a canal needs to climb up a steep hill, and consist of a group of locks where each lock opens directly into the next, that is where the bottom gates of one lock form the top gates of the next. The Grade II listed locks are a popular tourist attraction and the County Council has created a country park at the top. At the bottom, where the junction with the arm to Market Harborough is located, there are two public houses, a shop, trip boat and other facilities alongside the locks, as is the site of the Foxton Inclined Plane, an inclined plane built in 1900 as a solution to various operational restrictions imposed by the lock flight. It was not a commercial success and was remained in full time operation for only ten years. It was dismantled in 1926, but a project to recreate the plane commenced in the 2000s since the locks remain a bottleneck for boat traffic.
Building work on the locks started in 1810 and was finished 4 years later in 1814. Little changed until the building of the inclined plane resulted in the reduction in size of some of the side ponds.
In 2008 the locks became part of the European Route of Industrial Heritage, a network which seeks to recognise the most important industrial heritage sites in Europe. The locks are usually manned during the cruising season from Easter to October and padlocked outside opening hours. This is done to prevent water shortages due to misuse and to ensure a balance between those wishing to ascend and descend. There can be lengthy delays at busy times but the actual transit should take approximately 45 minutes to one hour to complete, it is made quicker by the fact that the locks are are narrow beam and the gates are light.

Always fancied doing a narrow-boat trip, Ed. They have some great canals in France, I understand, but the one time I looked, the price was off-putting, to say the least.
Isn't it good to be the official tog and record the work being done by others!
Edit: I thought from the thumbnail it was an organ grinder

Not at all Gary, I opened and closed many of the locks, the red ones are always opened before the white ones at Foxton. I opened most of these hence why I had the time to grab some shots before they were opened up!

MS Dynamics CRM 3.0
7.16: What's the difference between dynamic and lexical (static) scoping? Between local() and my()?
"local($x)" saves away the old value of the global variable $x and assigns a new value for the duration of the subroutine *which is visible in other functions called from that subroutine*. This is done at run-time, so is called dynamic scoping. local() always affects global variables, also called package variables or dynamic variables.
"my($x)" creates a new variable that is only visible in the current subroutine. This is done at compile-time, so it is called lexical or static scoping. my() always affects private variables, also called lexical variables or (improperly) static(ly scoped) variables.
For instance:
sub visible { print "var has value $var\n"; }
sub dynamic { local $var = 'local'; # new temporary value for the still-global visible(); # variable called $var }
sub lexical { my $var = 'private'; # new private variable, $var visible(); # (invisible outside of sub scope) }
$var = 'global';
visible(); # prints global dynamic(); # prints local lexical(); # prints global
Notice how at no point does the value "private" get printed. That's because $var only has that value within the block of the lexical() function, and it is hidden from called subroutine.
In summary, local() doesn't make what you think of as private, local variables. It gives a global variable a temporary value. my() is what you're looking for if you want private variables.
See "Private Variables via my()" in perlsub and "Temporary Values via local()" in perlsub for excruciating details.

QUESTION: My new job requires me to work from home. Is it possible to combine a private and professional life in that environment? Do I need to set personal rules for talking to my clients? Do I need to structure hours for taking calls? How do I politely let my contacts know that they need to call only at reasonable workday hours? Do I need a specific work area?
20-40-60 Etiquette: Should I set work rules?
CALLIE'S ANSWER: Yes, it is possible to keep your personal and private life separate. Tell your clients your work hours. However, keep in mind what your job is and how available you want to be. This is all up to what you want.
LILLIE-BETH'S ANSWER: If it's possible to structure the hours for calls, then that would be ideal. That way you're in control of your schedule and know when you can give your full attention to your clients. You can set appointments around your schedule and tell clients in emails when you are available. Make sure your hours are generous enough to handle your work. It all depends on your job and the expectations your clients or bosses have of you. And yes, a specific work area is best, even if it's a small corner of your house, so it feels like work when you are sitting there.
In various jobs through the years, I have enjoyed the privilege of working from home It can be difficult to juggle, but I always made sure to focus on my job during work time, which meant no laundry, no housework, etc. After having children, that juggle became more difficult, but in the past, I have hired a sitter to watch my kids while I worked from home. When they were little, I would kiss them goodbye, walk out the back door and then have the sitter distract them while I sneaked in the front door. That way, they wouldn't know I was home to interrupt me. Enjoy the time working from home. It takes some getting used to, but it's nice to be able to return phone calls in your pajamas.
HELEN'S ANSWER: It has been a great blessing to be able to work from home on a part-time basis, especially when I had young children. My hours have been the same and I set them early on in my career. The people who need to contact me know which days I work the most.
My office desk is in a spare bedroom and I can close the door if there are other activities in the house. I think a specific work area reminds you that your job at home is important and that your desk can be organized as to what works best for you.

Students Rally as October 21st is Affordable Textbooks Day Of ActionOct 20 2010 at 7:24 pm by Victor
Thursday, October 21st has been coined as the Affordable Textbooks Day Of Action. Students from over 40 campuses will speak out against expensive textbooks by hosting presentations, sending emails and talking with professors directly. This is part of the Student PIRGs, Make Textbooks Affordable campaign. The campaign has been in effect since 2003, and focuses on the following areas:
Passing Laws: As of July 1st, 2010 schools need to provide a list to students of the books required for their courses before classes begin. This allows students to have more time to explore other channels such as buying or renting textbooks online. Additionally, publishers will need to offer bundled items separately, allowing students to have more control over which items they choose to purchase for class.
Promoting Open Textbooks: Increasing the popularity of open textbooks is another primary initiative of the campaign. Instead of costing $150-$200 per textbook, open source textbooks allow students to download and read content for free.
Exposing the Problem: Getting the media to address the cost of expensive textbooks to raise awareness among the general American public is also critical. In fact, the campaign was mentioned in today's New York Times article.
Promoting Used Books: Encouraging students to shop online for used textbooks, or by swapping with friends and classmates is great way for students to save money and to combat publishers who undermine the used book industry by releasing similar, but new editions of textbooks every couple years.
Establishing Rental Programs: Encouraging cost-saving textbook rental programs to become more prevalent on college campuses and online. On average, students who rent textbooks spend between $130-$240 per year opposed to $900 spent by students who buy; a savings of about $700.

I am thinking of getting them in the middle of March if possible, but I am not sure how long the overall healing and settling period takes. I would like to enjoy them for this summer, but if that is not possible then I would wait until the fall.
If I Were to Get Breast Implants in March, Would I Be Swimsuit Ready by the End of May?
Doctor Answers 15
Promoted Local Answer
Breast Augmentation Recovery By Spring
Web reference: http://www.bitarinstitute.com/breast-augmentation/
Quick recovery after breast implants.
After having breast implants, you should be swimsuit ready in three weeks at the most. We let women go in the water in one week and swim laps in three weeks. So you can certainly do it in March.
Implants in March swimsuit ready in May?
It is certainly possible that barring any complications you should be swimsuit ready after a breast augmentation in March by May.

Swim Suit Ready after Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question.
Yes, you should be "swimsuit ready" a few months after the procedure is performed. You should also be back to most activity by that time.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_breastAugmentation.htm
Breast Augmentation for Swimsuit season
Breast augmentation typically does not require a significant recovery. Women are often ready for swimsuits weeks after breast augmentation surgery.
The recovery from subpectoral breast augmentation used to be a rather unpleasant experience, but it no longer has to be. A space for the implant must be developed behind the pectoralis major, and a portion of the muscle's inferior origin must be released. Surgery on a muscle in most cases produces significant postoperative pain, and that is certainly true for breast augmentation. However, by using a local anesthetic infusion device (the On-Q 'Pain Buster') for the first two to three days after surgery, the pain associated with this procedure can be reduced quite dramatically.
While breast augmentation patients in this practice receive a prescription for a mild narcotic pain medication for use after surgery (just in case), most of them never take it. Most patients report little to no pain in the evening following surgery, and perhaps some mild discomfort on Postop day one and two. Patients can resume all normal, non-strenuous activities of daily living immediately after surgery, and can begin pec major range of motion exercises on the evening of their procedure.
Patients are seen in the office the day after surgery, and again on Friday for removal of the Go-Pump catheters (which is painless). Working patients usually return to work the Monday following the surgery; stay-at-home moms may need some help with toddlers for the first two to three days after surgery. Exercise is limited to walking only for the first two weeks; in weeks three and four some light exercise is permissible. Patients can gradually increase their exercise/workout level in the second month (weeks five through eight), however it is a full eight weeks before patients are allowed to return to activities that require forceful, repetitive, sustained pec major contraction - such as pushups and heavy weight lifting. It is important to ensure that the breasts are well supported in snug fitting sports bra (or two) when returning to impact exercise such as running or aerobics.
Web reference: http://www.michaellawmd.com/breast-augmentation_breast_implants.html
On the beach by May
If you have surgery in March, you should have no activity restrictions by the end of May. In most patients, the appearance of the breasts should also be satisfactory after 2 months. If you have very tight tissues and have never given birth, your breasts may still look a little firm or high at that point, but I suspect that you'll be very happy. Go ahead and have your surgery in March, and enjoy this summer!
March surgery and recovery
I generally advise no heavy lifting or strenuous activity for about 4 weeks after breast augmentation. So if you have the surgery in March, you should be fine for swimsuit season in May.
Breast Augmentation in Preparation for Summer
The answer is yes! If you were to get a breast augmentation in the middle of march you should be ready by summer. Generally speaking swelling will subside by then, however, I caution you to apply sunscreen to the incision site as exposure will leave you at a higher risk for hyperpigmentation.
I hope this helps you and good luck

Although it takes up to three months for implants to settle, once the incisions have healed you can put on a bathing suit and enjoy the sun.
Get ready for summer!
Winter and Spring are very popular times of the year (in Chicago) to undergo breast augmentation in preperation for swimsuit season. While there will be some subtle changes that occur upto a year after surgery, most women feel comfortable wearing a bikini or other bathing suit within about 6 weeks after surgery- if not sooner. Good luck and enjoy!!

Daniel McGowan was one of six environmental activists arrested last week in a series of coordinated raids across four states. He is accused of setting a pair of arsons in Oregon in 2001 and is being held without bail. [includes rush transcript]
Bail has been denied to all six environmental activists arrested last week in a series of coordinated raids in New York, Virginia, Arizona and Oregon.
The activists have been accused of setting a series of arsons in the Pacific Northwest between 1998 and 2001.
Daniel McGowan of New York and Stanislas Meyerhoff of Virginia are facing up to life in prison. They are accused of setting fires in 2001 at a lumber company and an experimental tree farm in Oregon. No one was injured in the blazes.
They are facing the most serious charges ever filed against environmental activists for allegedly taking part in such a direct action.
The four others arrested face between 20 and 25 years in prison for allegedly setting other fires. They are Chelsea Gerlach of Portland, Oregon. Kevin Tubbs of Oregon, Bill Rodgers of Prescott Arizona and Sarah Harvey of Flagstaff Arizona.
Earlier this year a top FBI official called groups such as the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front the nation's top domestic terrorism threat.
The FBI however has been accused of overzealously prosecuting alleged members of the movement. Last month the FBI agreed to pay an environmental activist named Josh Cannole $100,000 for mistakenly jailing him as a suspect in a string of arsons and vandalism at SUV dealerships in California.
- Martin Stolar, president of the New York chapter of the National Lawyers Guild. He is representing Daniel McGowan.
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: We are joined in our New York studio by Daniel McGowan's attorney, Martin Stolar, Executive Director of National Lawyers Guild. We're also joined by McGowan's long-time girlfriend, Jenny Simon, and we welcome you both to Democracy Now!
Marty Stolar, let's begin with you. What are these charges? Do these come as a surprise?
MARTIN STOLAR: Well, they come certainly as a surprise, because Daniel McGowan was an up-front activist, an outspoken activist and a peaceful man, not somebody who would ever be involved in any kind of violent activity; and the charges, which let him face from a minimum of 30 years to a maximum of life in prison, come totally out of the blue; and the charges deal with events that took place almost five years ago, and they just beat the statute of limitations by filing this indictment in November. The activities that he's alleged to have participated in took place in January of 2001 and May of 2001. The indictment covers a series of arsons and the use of an incendiary device to set the arsons in progress. Daniel, of course, is totally innocent. He insists that he is innocent. He has no apology for being the activist that he was.
AMY GOODMAN: Jenny, how did you find out he was arrested?
JENNY SIMON: I was at work, and I received a call from his co-worker. Basically, she said that three F.B.I. agents had come into their offices, and they went to talk to him, and then they took him away, and he just said, "Call Jenny." So, they somehow tracked me down. I still don't really know how, but that doesn't matter, and she called me and let me know what happened. So, you know, obviously it was an extreme shock to me, and I immediately called his sister, because he's very close with his sister. And I left work early to go home, and as I was approaching my building, there were two men outside my building. And I just kind of went up to my door as if I was just going to, you know, open it up, and they — one of them hung up the phone saying, "I think we got our search warrant." So, I turned around and left because I just didn't want to deal with that. So, I went home later that night, and our apartment had been searched, and a lot of things had been taken, and it was pretty much a mess.
AMY GOODMAN: What was taken?
JENNY SIMON: Both of our computers were taken. We have, you know, a room that's kind of like our office, and our — you know, some of my own personal things were taken that had nothing to do with him, you know, photographs, audiotapes. He had a lot of 'zines and fliers; I'm sure those were all taken. A number of his books, I think, you know, around twenty-something of his books were taken. They pretty much just went through the whole place and just took whatever they wanted.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And, Martin Stolar, your reaction when you hear that the government has declared these groups as the primary domestic terrorist threat?
MARTIN STOLAR: It's unbelievable. You know, the government claims that the E.L.F. and the A.L.F. are somehow sort of domestic terrorists; and yet, what they do is they wind up arresting people who are peaceful activists. And it is another example of how this administration has criminalized dissent. And it is really troubling. But the —
AMY GOODMAN: The bail being set?
MARTIN STOLAR: The bail being set was no bail. You know, I've been practicing as a federal criminal defense lawyer for over 30 years. I have never presented as strong a bail package as I presented for Daniel McGowan. Six members of his family on $1 million personal recognizance bond secured by $850,000 in property and stocks and bonds. That should be enough to secure the appearance of somebody; and yet, we had a magistrate judge in Brooklyn who said: 'Nope, that's not sufficient. We think that this young man would run away and bankrupt his entire family.' His father, his mother, his two sisters, his brother-in-law, and Jenny, his companion, were prepared to sign on that bond and put their entire financial futures in jeopardy if Daniel ran away; and yet, no bail would be obtained, because the government stands up and says: 'This is somebody who is an eco-terrorist.'
AMY GOODMAN: We're going to have to leave it there. I want to thank you both for being with us. We'll certainly continue to follow this case.

We've all known since junior school that verbs are "doing" words. But can you guess just what has been done if something has been sprued up, invested, burned out, fettled, repaired, chased and patinated? The answer—I can tell you, having just been to "Bronze" at the Royal Academy—is that a 3-dimensional metal form has been cast. The exhibition has been acclaimed for many reasons, but it deserves particular plaudits for the pains it takes to explain how the exhibits themselves were made.
I have tried hard to understand the cire perdue ("lost wax") process before—notably at the Henry Moore sculpture exhibition in Kew Gardens a few years ago—but only now have I grasped it. The RA has dedicated a whole room to the explanation of this (and other) methods of casting metal. There are cases with models showing each stage of both the direct and the indirect processes of cire perdue casting; in the former the original is destroyed, whereas the latter can be used to make several casts and the original is preserved. There is also a five-minute video to make double-sure that you've got the message.
This knowledge enhances the exhibition as a whole, which is organised by theme (human figures, animals, groups, gods, objects, reliefs and busts). There are works spanning five millennia: from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and China; by Donatello and Ghiberti; from Africa and India; by Brancusi, Jasper Johns, Moore and Matisse. A lot of bronze sculptures were made for outdoor, often architectural, settings, and bringing them indoors under gentle, caressing lights changes how we relate to them. But above all, knowing how they were made—the complexity of the process and the dangers of dealing with incandescent, molten metal in a world before A&E departments and burns units—adds to the awe the exhibition inspires.
"Bronze" runs at the Royal Academy until December 9th

A collaboration between Scottish universities and health boards, which will harness Scotland's research power and support around 250 research jobs, was today given £10 million from the Scottish Government.
The Scottish Academic Health Sciences Collaboration (SAHSC) will build on the close NHS/academic partnerships which already exist across Scotland with large centres in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee.
Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon today agreed to redeploy the Scottish Government Chief Scientist Office research funding to support the collaboration which represents a major boost in clinical research capacity.
The SAHSC will:
The funding will be consolidated with a further £5 million from CSO currently supporting a range of new clinical research posts. Combined this will secure some 250 posts across Scotland.
Ms Sturgeon said:
"This is an exciting and uniquely Scottish partnership combining the talents of our major medical schools with the rich resources of our national health service. The creation of SAHSC brings together the academic excellence of the universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow with the NHS research expertise in Grampian, Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Lothian and Tayside Health Boards. This gives us the basis of a world-leading platform to attract funds for patient-oriented research.
"Not only will it act as a catalyst for increased investment and economic development throughout Scotland, but it will embed continuous improvement in the NHS by strengthening the evidence-based culture for beneficial change.
"The funding we have announced today will secure an outstanding research resource across Scotland. This ensures that the SAHSC is founded on a clinical research platform which is second to none."
Professor Sir John Savill, Scotland's Chief Scientist, said:
"The creation of, and investment in, the SAHSC will be a resource for all Scottish Health Boards. Scotland wide research networks are already being developed around these four health boards with CSO funding, and their R&D Directors are actively engaged in forming partnerships with their neighbouring health boards so that all boards and their patients may benefit from this initiative."
Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, said:
"Our universities have a key role to play in supporting Scotland's economic recovery and in promoting knowledge exchange. This important development will support both those efforts and will also build on the world class achievements of Scotland's universities, highlighted in the recent Research Assessment Exercise.
"Scotland performs strongly in the area of health research - a key area for growth in Scotland - and this initiative will enable us to continue to improve in this area, while securing key research jobs for our future."
The SAHSC creates a four-Board, four-University partnership to create a Scotland wide platform for patient orientated research. Other Scottish Universities and Health Boards will be involved in the Collaboration through one of the four University Health Board "hubs", creating a Scotland wide research capacity.
The key aims of the SAHSC are:
The SAHSC will operate through a Strategic Oversight Board made up of senior representatives of the eight partner institutions and Scottish Enterprise. There is also a patient representative, and representation from the remaining Health Boards and Universities on the Board. The Board will be chaired by Scotland's Chief Medical Officer, Dr Harry Burns, and will report to the Director-General of the Health Directorates and Chief Executive of the NHS in Scotland, Dr Kevin Woods and the University Principals.
The new posts being created by this investment will be phased in over a three year period. By the end of 2011-12, approximately 250 NHS posts supporting Scottish clinical research will be in place.
The Chief Scientist Office is a Division of the Chief Medical Officer Directorate within the Scottish Government and is responsible for encouraging and supporting research into health and healthcare needs in Scotland.

The use of web conference technology solves many problems. It can bridge the gap between people who are many miles apart, and great deal of money is saved when video conferencing reduces the need for paper products. Web conferences also make great interactive teaching tools. With all those advantages, it is no wonder that educators around the world are embracing this phenomenon.
Mother Nature News reports upon the explosion of video conferencing in schools and universities. In particular, elementary schools in the U.S. and elsewhere have implemented webcams and collaborative software to encourage collaboration and education with far-flung pupils.
The University Alliance for Life-Long Learning is a $12 million investment by colleges like Oxford, Yale, Stanford and Princeton to interactive seminars and multi-media programs for alumni. Programs like this serve as a model for teachers throughout the world.
Teacher training is often offered with the use of video conferencing as well. Prospective educators can take many classes simply by using a camera, microphone and computer. This reduces costs for schools as wells saving money for teachers-in-training, who don't have to travel as much to get an education.
