Pray for the survivors of the Boko Haram attack last month on the predominantly Christian town of Gwoza, in northeast Nigeria. Over 100 residents were shot or slashed to death in the massacre, and while others managed to escape into the nearby Gwoza Hills, they are barely surviving on wild fruit and nuts. Many elderly and immobile residents are stranded in Gwoza without food or water. Pray for Christians in Indonesia, the world's most populous...Read More

Keri Windsor
Pornstar Profile, Date added: 14 Feb 1999
Keri Windsor is a Caucasian American pornstar who was born in Superior, Wisconsin. Her zodiac sign is Sagittarius and she has blonde hair and brown eyes. She stands at 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 118 pounds. Her body dimensions are measured at 34D-24-35 and she does have a breast augmentation surgery to thank for helping achieve that shape. She has only one tattoo on her entire body and it is a small flamingo design on her right buttock. In addition to both of her ears, she has a piercing to her navel to round out her body art. Miss Windsor has been known by a few alias names since working in the porn business and those are Keri Windson, Lacey Ogden and Lacy Ogden. For some of the earliest 9 years of her life she lived in Saudi Arabia where her father worked for an oil company. At various times she has lived in Virginia, Arizona, New York and finally California. At the high school that she attended, she was the first girl ever to play football for the team.
Miss Windsor began working in porn movies in the year 1998 when she was in her mid twenties. Immediately prior to her adult career she had been working for a major airline as a customer service supervisor. Later on she would joke that she went from one position where she did everything she could to make people happy, to another that does the same thing only naked. The first porn movie that she appeared in was called "Shattered Vows" and it was produced by Pleasure Productions and directed by Nic Cramer. Her credit in this film is using the name Lacy Ogden and she appears in the second scene along with Lauren Montgomery. The girls are kissing as the scene begins and then Keri is on the receiving end of her partners tongue before they swap positions. They use a dildo on each other next, pushing it into their pussy and then licking it before going back in again. There is a lot of good sex toy fucking in this scene that ends with them kissing passionately.
While growing up, Keri refers to herself as being very much like she is today by which she means very outgoing. Always preferring to speak her mind but with tact and paying attention to what is going on. Still, more often than not she tends to blurt out whatever is on her mind including some things that people won't normally say. She also admits that she is a very bad liar and finds it too tedious to lie as you have to remember too much in order to not get caught. Another way that she describes herself growing up is as a tomboy. Keri loves sports and played many of them, including being the first girl in Arizona to make her high school football team. In fact she played the entire season and thinks that it was a great experience for her. The guys naturally did not want a girl on their team and did everything they could to keep her off of it, but in the end her toughness and perseverance won out. Today all of those guys know that she is working in porn movies and are kind of proud that they know her.
When it comes to her career, Miss Windsor says that while some people might join the adult industry for the money, that's not what she's all about. She loves having sex and loves exploring her body and finding out what turns her on and what turns others on too. One thing that she really loves about her profession is that it gives her a feeling of power. Knowing that she's got what it takes to make a man or woman cum using just her skills and her body is a huge turn on for her. Keri has a long tongue and girls as well as guys are always fascinated when she shows it off. Every female pornstar she's been with has loved her tongue when it comes to having her pussy licked. Her pussy licking technique is also something that she wishes every man would learn. When asked more about that she says that it's important for the woman to communicate with the man as he licks her pussy. He should be meticulous and be able to read the signals that she's giving you which she can help with a lot by talking. The main tip that she has for men is to be passionate and really enjoy it because if you approach it like it's something you don't want to do, then it's not going to be good for either of you.
While a lot of Keri's porn films involve a lesbian scene, some of them are just heterosexual hardcore too. One example is the film "Bare Necessities" which was produced by Adam and Eve Productions and directed by Roy Karch. Her scene comes at the end of the film and her partner is Randy Spears. Stepping outside for a smoke, she meets up with Randy on the patio where they hit it off. They head back indoors to a room where they begin making out and feeling each other's bodies. She goes down on his cock and sucks it well, paying special attention to his balls. He fucks her while she rides on top of him and then licks her pussy before penetrating her in missionary position. Fucking her pussy from behind comes next and then after a few more positions he gives her a good facial cumshot. Ms. Windsor licks and sucks his cock until she has swallowed every last drop of cum that she can find.
Keri Windsor retired from performing in the year 2004 after a six year long career in porn movies. During that time she had appeared in nearly 200 movies and had built up a good base of fans from all around the world. Her AVN award nominations include Best Solo Sex Scene, Best Supporting Actress, Best All Girl Sex Scene and Best Couples Sex Scene. With her body of work she is probably going to find her way into the pornstar hall of fame before too long, and she has already found her way into this exclusive collection of the best Keri Windsor vides here on PORN.com!

When TriMet decided to cut its budget this year, the scalpel slashed both bus frequency and free bus rides in Fareless Square.
Here, by the numbers, is what that will mean for TriMet's roughly 40,000 daily bus riders, starting Nov. 29.
15:Minutes between buses on TriMet's Frequent Network routes now.
17:Wait times in minutes, starting Nov. 29. Occasionally, waits will be as long as 20 minutes.
2010:The year Fareless Square goes away for bus riders. TriMet spokeswoman Bekki Witt notes that Fareless Square remains for rail riders (see photo above) and that eliminating it this January for buses will relieve a huge fare-checking burden for bus drivers.

MRes Natural Computation
The MRes in Natural Computation is a one-year full-time degree for students who would have found their undergraduate study stimulating and want to learn in-depth about this emerging interdisciplinary field. This programme is designed for students wishing to undertake a challenging research-orientated masters degree.
Course overview
You will study a mini-project in the first semester and a major research project, which will be two-thirds of the entire Masters programme. You will also study essential Research Skills, and a further 20 credits of optional modules from the following:
- Introduction to Evolutionary Computation
- Introduction to Neural Computation
- Intelligent Data Analysis (Extended)
- Intelligent Robotics (Extended)
- Planning (Extended)
This Masters degree by research means you are taught core principals and then you develop these skills by doing interesting, innovative research, supported by academic staff and peers. It is structured so that you learn how to plan, organise and manage your time; you learn what it is to be a scientific researcher; you help contribute to the development of new knowledge; you ,learn intellectual skills such as argumentation, exposition, and reasoning; and develop as an individual by improving your communication skills, writing, collaborative working and creativity.
Minimum entry requirements
At least a 2.1 in Computer Science/Engineering, or a science/engineering degree with significant computing content. Applicants must possess competent mathematical skills. Students who have not studied in English must pass a recognised English test. This is a highly selective Masters Programme. We have only limited number of places available.
A statement of research
The MRes in Natural Computation is research oriented, and includes two mini-projects and a summer project, written in the style of a peer-reviewed scientific journal paper. Your application should include two sides of A4 with research interests and tentative ideas that you plan to develop for these three projects. They should normally be close to the research interest of the School (please consult the web pages of lecturers, professors and research staff).
Once you are admitted, you will have an opportunity to revise or change your research plans after discussion with your project supervisors. But it is important at application time to know that you are interested and have potential skills for research, as well as some tentative plans. The Statement of Research is an opportunity for you to demonstrate this.
Programme details
Natural computation is the study of computational systems that use ideas and gain inspiration from natural systems, including biological, ecological and physical systems. It is an emerging interdisciplinary area in which appropriate techniques and methods are studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. The aims of this programme are to:
- Meet the increasing need from industry for graduates equipped with a knowledge of natural computation techniques.
- Provide a solid foundation in natural computation for graduates to pursue a research and development career in industry or to pursue further studies (e.g. PhD).
- Give up-to-date coverage of current topics in natural computation (such as evolutionary algorithms, co-evolution, evolutionary design, nature-inspired optimisation techniques, evolutionary games, novel learning algorithms, artificial neural networks, theory of natural computation).
This innovative MRes programme is led and run primarily by the world-leading Natural Computation Group and CERCIA in the School of Computer Science. The group has over 40 full-time researchers, including teaching staff, research fellows and associates, PhD students, and academic visitors. Its members publish in top international journals in artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation and theoretical computer science, including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, Theoretical Computer Science, etc. The group has strong links with industry, especially through CERCIA, including Honda, BT, Thales, Unilever, GSK, Rolls Royce, etc. We encourage MRes students to carry out their research projects in collaboration with our industrial partners. Opportunities exist for students to do their project work within a company.
Important application dates
If you are applying for 2015 entry, the MSc will commence on 28th September 2015. There is no closing date for admissions, although you are advised to apply as early as possible, particularly if you need to arrange a visa. Please click here for further information on term dates.

Media entrepreneur David Cohn presented his non-profit community-funded journalism site Spot.Us at the 17th World Editors Forum in Hamburg in a session on how to monetise journalism. He said that network reporting was a good area to experiment in, because it is
"cheaper and easier."
The concept of this community-funded "news platform" (rather than news outlet) Spot.Us is that members of the public can donate money on the topics that he wants to be covered, when the sufficient amount of money has been provided by readers, a reporter is commissioned to write an article about this.

The Premier League title race took yet another twist on Sunday as leaders Manchester United were held to a 4-4 draw by Everton in a pulsating match at Old Trafford.
United led 4-2 with seven minutes to go but late goals by Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar secured an unlikely draw for Everton.
he result left United six points clear at the top but Manchester City can reduce that to three - with three games remaining apiece - if they win at bottom side Wolves later on Sunday.
And United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was livid at the way his side had let slip a winning position.
"We've thrown it away, no question about that," he said. "It's hard to imagine (how) it happened, how poor we defended.
"It was a bad performance by us, they were soft goals, yet some of our football was magnificent and our forward play didn't deserve that."
Jelavic put Everton ahead on 33 minutes but goals from Wayne Rooney, Nani and Danny Welbeck made it 3-1 to United on the hour mark.
Marouane Fellaini pulled one back for Everton but when Rooney scored his second on 69 minutes, the match looked over.
Patrice Evra headed onto the post soon after but Jelavic reduced the deficit and Pienaar struck with five minutes to go to pull off a remarkable draw.
Rio Ferdinand almost won it for United with a shot in injury time that was brilliantly saved by Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard.
We had a chance to make it 5-2, hit the post and they went up the other end and gave themselves hope," Ferguson said.
And the United manager said their game away to City on April 30 was now absolutely pivotal to the destination of the title.
We've got to get a result at Etihad Stadium now," he said.
"It's a derby of amazing proportion - probably the most important derby game in my time. We have to go there, perform in right way and not give away goals."
Everton manager David Moyes was understandably delighted with his side's resilience as they moved two points clear of Liverpool in seventh.
The effort they put in was absolutely brilliant," Moyes said.
"We came to win the game, we felt we had been a bit hard done by lately.
"Today was a chance to play in another big game and stop people thinking our season was over. I don't think at any time we deserved to be two goals down."

RIYADH – Saudi Electricity Co. (SEC) Islamic bonds returned 67 percent more than Gulf corporate sukuk, buoyed by a scarcity of Shariah-compliant securities in Saudi Arabia and demand for investment-grade debt.
Islamic bond sales in Saudi Arabia rose to a record this year as demand outstrips supply. Sukuk offerings jumped to about $8.3 billion, or about 47 percent of the GCC's total issuance this year.
Overall sales of Islamic debt in the Gulf increased to $17.7 billion this year from $3.8 billion in the year-earlier period.
"There is very strong demand for Saudi credit," Abdul Wahid Mohammad Al Matar, the head of trading at Riyadh-based Saudi Hollandi Bank, said by e-mail on August 9. "One reason are the limited offerings."
The General Authority of Civil Aviation sold 15 billion riyals ($4 billion) of Islamic bonds in January. Saudi Electricity raised a combined $1.75 billion from an issue of five- and 10-year sukuk, securities that pay returns on assets to comply Islam's ban on interest, in March.
The company received more than $17.5 billion in bids. The sale also marked the first dollar sukuk since Dar Al Arkan Real Estate Development Co.'s $450 million Islamic bond in February 2010.
The Saudi Electricity's 4.211 percent dollar-denominated notes maturing in April 2022 have gained 9.5 percent since their debut at the end of March.
That compares with a 5.7 percent return on corporate sukuk from the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, the HSBC/Nasdaq Dubai GCC Corporate US Dollar Sukuk Index showed.
The yield on the Saudi Electricity's notes dropped to a record 3.1 percent Aug. 7. The Kingdom's largest power producer is rated the fourth-best investment grade at Standard & Poor's.
The Kingdom, home to about 28 million people, is pushing ahead with a $500 billion investment plan to build infrastructure, develop industries and create jobs. Saudi Electricity is also set to benefit from rising local energy consumption, which Saudi Deputy Oil Minister Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Salman forecast is increasing as much as 6 percent a year. The economy is forecast to expand 6 percent this year, the second-fastest pace in the six-nation GCC after Kuwait and on par with Qatar, according to estimates from the International Monetary Fund.
"Saudi Electricity is sort of up there as one of the most desired issuers," Jarmo Kotilaine, chief economist at Jeddah-based National Commercial Bank, said earlier. "It's a listed company, so it's pretty well understood what the company profile and strategy is. Of course, the sukuk market itself is still a relatively small market."
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, is rated AA- at Standard & Poor's, on par with China and Japan. The government has no outstanding dollar-denominated debt.
Still, Saudi bonds are at risk from volatility in global crude prices and China's slowing economy, the world's second- biggest energy consumer after the US. – SG/Agencies

Time to take some time off the internet and blogging. While preparing for the holidays and free time, check these posts older from this summer:
Marko wrote an excellent article (with videos) about B.A.S.E jumping icon Jeb Corliss.
Mountain biking is clearly our number one summer activity, so we've made quite a lot of content relating to it lately. Some posts here I rank valuable/informative especially if you have any interest on mountain biking in Finland:
Tahko MTB Event 2008 – Finland's biggest Endurance race/event (with cool pics I got from a fellow Finnish rider, those are worth of a look at least)
Riding Pics from Heinola, Finland – well, this post is kind of unfinished and the pics are not action ones (as I was riding solo), but IMHO the images just tell quite well about the riding / nature here…
Riding my Fully Rigid Singular Swift SS – An article I wrote to Made-to-Order Bikes site.
Our featuring writer from Greece, Andreas Cavalieros, posted some information and tips on mountain biking in Rhodos Island. One of our most informative and interesting articles for sure (again in my humble opinion).
If you like some more water sport oriented material, take a look of this post from Andreas How about windsurfing this time?
If you are planning to visit Spain you should definitely check out El Caminito Del Ray – The King's Pathway. Pretty scary, eh?
That's a nice ending to this post actually – as I'm off to Spain for some time. Let's see if I get to ride a bit while there and also at least take a look at the mighty Pyrenees – a place I've wanted to see for a long time.
We'll be back in the beginning of August. Hometown boy wishes you relaxing summer holidays!

Canon Powershot G15 Digital Camera OverView
November 5, 2012
Sony has overshadowed some of the other new camera releases with it's RX100 and new RX1 camera, but if you haven't been following, the new Canon Powershot G15 is quite amazing as well. I don't mean for this to be an RX100 vs G15 review, but it's a good basis of the value Canon brings in this sub $500 dollar prosumer camera. I'm not saying I will give up all of my Sony RX100 cameras completely, but I believe there's room to replace one of them with this new Canon Powershot G15.
The most important stand out feature for me is the new 24-140mm (equiv) F/1.8-F/2.8 lens. This is very impressive to have that focal distance paired up with a constant wide aperture. Not only will this provide you with better low light capabilities, but also better bokeh (blurred backgrounds) often desired for portraits. The auto focus is fast, and even the Macro capabilities of the new G15 which can focus on subjects as close as 1cm to the lens is another highlight.
The Canon Powershot G15 may not as be small as the Powershot S110 or RX100, but it's also not too large to still fit easily in a jacket pocket. The G15 will still offer professionals a remote shutter input (for an Intervalometer – Time Lapse), full manual expsoure controls, RAW imaging, and a hot shoe port for flash photography. I won't dive in to too many of the specs about the G15 that are already scattered all over the Internet, but if you're a photographer looking for a smaller travel camera without the hassles of lens changes, I feel the G15 is a great buy.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Nik Stauskus scored 23 points and hit a key 3 with 48 seconds left, and Michigan fended off a late surge for a 77-70 win Saturday over No. 3 Wisconsin.
The Badgers (16-2, 3-2) went on a 14-2 run late, and Ben Brust's putback got them within 68-67 with about 2 minutes left.
But after whiffing on a 3 from the right wing, Stauskus hit a step-back from 3 from the left side to give Michigan a 71-67 lead.
Josh Gasser had 16 points for the Badgers, which lost their second straight after a school-best 16-0 start.
Stauskus added four foul shots in the final 24.7 seconds to seal Michigan's seventh straight win. He had 16 in the second half.
The Wolverines benefited from the cushion built from a first half in which they shot 60 percent. That's especially impressive given it was against Wisconsin, perennially one of the league's best defensive teams under coach Bo Ryan.
But defense was a problem again for the Badgers in their second straight loss after allowing Indiana to shoot 51 percent earlier in the week.
Still, the Badgers came back, bolstered by boisterous students back in town for the spring semester. The Kohl Center was rocking after the Badgers' late run, during which Michigan at one point missed four shots and committed two turnovers.
Nigel Hayes' short jumper got Wisconsin within six with 4:45 to go before Brust put back his own rebound to get Wisconsin within a point.
That's when Michigan turned to Stauskus. His first 3-point attempt glanced off the rim but Michigan retained possession after a foul was called on Gasser.
The ball went back to Stauskus, who shook off Hayes on the perimeter and coolly hit his 3 for a late four-point lead.
Glenn Robinson III added 14 points on 6 of 8 shooting for Michigan, while Brust finished with 14 points and eight rebounds.
Michigan also took advantage of uncharacteristically sloppy play by the usually savvy Badgers, stretching a five-point halftime lead to as much as 15 midway through the second half.

Washi Tape Easter EggsFriday, March 29th, 2013
I have a confession to make. I Kate, mother of young elementary school children, did not hard-boil nor dye any Easter eggs last year. I used fake ones from a craft store to set our Easter dinner table and plastic ones for the egg hunt. Boom, easy, done.
However. My youngest daughter requested that we engage in the traditional act of dyeing eggs this year, so we set out to dip, dye, and embellish with nailpolish, washi, and glitter tapes. It was a fun for 30 minutes until she got bored with the dipping and abandoned me to go play and I was left alone to finish. Just like three years ago and those paper maché eggs. But I wrapped up the project (ha!) by layering strips of washi and glitter tape in random abstract bands across the tops and I now I don't believe I've ever loved Easter eggs more.
We started with hard boiled eggs, some dye from those kits you find everywhere, and a bunch of rolls of glitter and washi tape sent to me by my kind sponsor Wishy Washi.
To create a banded pattern, I wrapped a few with washi tape before dipping, then once my girl dipped the eggs and they were dry, peeled back the tape to reveal the pattern.
Layering a thin strip of tape over the top gives them a two tone banded effect.

Teaching Creativity
White, Karen, Dance Teacher
Letting your students experiment with choreography is crucial to helping them develop as artists.
Among the many things you have to teach young students-proper technique, discipline, performance etiquette-how to choreograph is probably not high on the list. Yet students can reap marvelous benefits from learning the basics of dancemaking.
"If we want them to be more than just technicians-if we have expectations of them as performing artists-choreography is a way for them to find out who they are through exploratory exercises and challenges," says Diane Jacobowitz of Dancewave in Brooklyn, New York. "This is for the teacher who can see the bigger picture." (For more on Dancewave, turn to "Reaching for New Heights" on page 80.)
Teaching composition, whether it's adding five minutes of improvisation to a technique class or designing an entire hour lesson based on dancemaking concepts, opens the door to self-expression for dancers of all ages. Rather than compelling students to always repeat steps by rote, which can lead to burnout for even the most technically gifted dancers, choreography frees them to express their feelings and delight in the knowledge that they have created something important and meaningful.
While advanced students naturally will be able to use more difficult movements, dancers with any level of experience can experiment with choreography. Emphasize that creating a piece is about more than simply putting steps together; telling a novice to "go and make up 32 counts" is a recipe for disaster. Instead, focus on using choreography concepts, games, suggestions and exercises to encourage students to move, and then show how that movement becomes choreography. "Give them things to dance about," says New York City-based master teacher Ellen Robbins. "Without improvisation, there is no source of inspiration for the movement; it's only steps. The passion is what's important."
Anne Green Gilbert, founder and artistic director of Creative Dance Center in Seattle, includes a choreography section in all of her classes, even for ages 3 and 4. She sets up a scenario that allows students to work on specific choreographic concepts. For example, her youngest students do a "dance game" in which they are introduced to "energy" by dancing in different dynamics-their movements must be "sharp," "smooth," "shaky" or "swinging." Another week she talks about high and low levels, or plays with verbs-"poke," "chop" or "brush" the space.
Starting at age 6, students discuss concepts such as exits and entrances, or how a dance needs a beginning, middle and end, just like a story in a book. Green Gilbert instructs them to enter the stage space with a slow movement, create a rhythm with a partner, then exit with a fast movement. "Give them concepts, vocabulary and skills, and the time to play with those skills," she says.
Robbins starts weaving choreography games into her classes for 5-year-olds. Students make a "dancing sandwich" by beginning with a skip, doing another movement, then ending with another skip. Or they move from stiff to wiggly, change from a caterpillar to a butterfly or dance from happy to angry. She also gives them story outlines-they're ice skating and fall down; they're sleeping, the alarm clock rings and they have to rush to get ready for school; they're lost in the woods-to help them create their own movements.
Critiquing each other's work is an important part of the process, one that even 5-year-olds can participate in, Robbins notes. "We watch each other's pieces, talk about what looked good, what could be better," she says. "After a time, they just talk to each other. I don't even have to enter in."
Jacobowitz begins with students ages 3 to 9, who learn to make up movement to fit a story. (Perhaps it's walking through peanut butter or floating down a river.) To "cook spaghetti," they start out stiff and straight, "jump into the pot" and slowly become loose and wriggly, then roll out and end on a plate. …

Are we Agile? If we ask a leader we'll get one perspective, but if we ask each person on the team we may be surprised by the variety of answers. Since 2002, IBM has used agile evaluation frameworks with dozens of teams to help them learn, improve, and share their experiences with agile practices. The metrics in the Extreme Programming Evaluation Framework, or (XP:EF) originally focused on XP, and similar instances covered other methods.[i] But because the framework can be used with a broader set of practices, it's simpler to say "the Agile Evaluation Framework" (Agile:EF). This article shares tips on using the framework in a lightweight manner to leverage "the simplest metrics that could possibly work."
Review of the Technique
Agile:EF contains four parts. Context factors, indicators, outcome measures, and a survey. The metrics in the first three parts describe what a team did. This article focuses on the last part - the survey, which can serve many purposes:
- Stimulate team discussion to seek improvements.
- Spot weak areas in the team's process, in time to address problems before bugs result.
- Find out what the quiet people in the team think.
- Describe to other teams how much of which practices were used.
- Teach and remind team members of the practices.
Agile Pulse
Think of this survey as an "Agile Pulse." By taking it periodically you can monitor the health of a team's agile adoption. This can be done as part of your iteration retrospectives, or every two to four weeks, perhaps with some variation in questions or team members to avoid burnout. The list of questions should be short (about fifteen). The Agile Pulse survey should be written so that it takes 15 minutes or less to complete. That will make it practical to take it periodically. It should include a spectrum of practices, not just the ones the team does. That reminds teams to consider using those practices. If they share their experience, it also helps other teams know which practices were not used.
An Example
Here is example data from a team who has used the Agile Pulse survey.. Each question has a short label for the practice, such as 'Non solo', which means any style of code review, or Iterative, which means 'stakeholder feedback on working software.' The questions in the survey provide a little explanation of each practice to introduce them or remind team members.
Figure 1 shows the average of how much each team member feels he used a practice. The scale is 1 through 10. One means a person feels their team never uses this practice. Ten means they always use it. Five indicates a partial implementation. An example question would be "Unit Test: Do developers frequently run automated unit tests?"
The thin black bars illustrate the range between team members. It's the average plus or minus one standard deviation, so 70% of our scores will fall in that range. This team is beginning its agile journey, so we don't expect high numbers.
We use the chart to trigger discussion. The average for "Automated Unit Test" looks low. Is the team comfortable with that, or is that something team members would like to address? Why is there such a wide range of responses for "Reflections"? The team should discuss this. Maybe some felt that reflections were not held often enough. Maybe some felt left out. Perhaps some felt no actions resulted from the improvements identified. The chart can help spark discussion, and give quiet people a louder voice.
Successfully using the Framework
Now we'll share some observations from experience using Agile:EF that will spare you some pain.
{sidebar id=1} Focus time on actions related to notable scores.
Quickly celebrate high scores. Ignore unremarkable scores. Focus a little time on averages below 4, and standard deviations above 2.5 (an indicator of divergent opinions among the team). Also, discuss averages that have dropped since the last survey. Focus the bulk of your team's discussion time on identifying a couple of improvements so you can make retrospective meetings more efficient. People often love to talk about their job. The passion for their craft is good, but it can lead to some meandering meetings. Point them to a few numbers highlighted by the survey to be discussed.

LILBURN -- Tuesday's Area 4-A soccer doubleheader between Providence Christian and Wesleyan featured plenty of reversals of fortune.
The teams that lost in the earlier meeting between the schools this season won this time around in almost the identical manner.
And while it took the girls teams until very late in their game to find the back of the net, the boys teams struck early.
After a scoreless regulation and two overtimes, Wesleyan's No. 8 state-ranked girls got a clutch save from Hannah Duane and a goal by Hope Morgan in the final round of penalty kicks to upend host and fifth-ranked Providence 1-0.
In the boys game, Caleb McQuaig scored just over five minutes in and assisted on another goal less than two minutes later, and the fourth-ranked Stars withstood an early second-half goal by Wesleyan to hold off the fifth-ranked Wolves for a 2-1 victory.
The win by Wesleyan's girls (6-6-1, 3-4) moved the Wolves past Providence (9-5, 2-4) into third place in the area standings and avenged a 2-1 loss to the Stars in a penalty kick shootout on March 9.
"We would like to have ended it in regulation," Wesleyan coach Lacy Gilbert said. "I feel like we had tons of chances, especially in the second half. ... But at the same time, it's good practice for us. We've been working on (penalty kicks). You never know when you're going to get to PKs."
And the game made it to the shootout after a solid defensive battle throughout regular and the two overtimes.
And both goalkeepers came up big midway through the second half, with Duane corralling a hard free kick from 30 yards out by Brooke Kelly in the 19th minute of the half, while Providence's Jessie Kowalewicz countering by smothering a low show from Maddie Hall six minutes later.
But in the shootout, Wesleyan got the first breaks when Kelly's first shot clanged off the crossbar, and Duane leapt to her right to punch out Anna Bougas' second-round attempt, leaving the Wolves on top 2-0 after Darby Coxhead and Katie Williams each found the mark.
But Lauren Hoyt matched Diane Torres' goal in the third round, and Kowalewicz gave Providence a boost by stopping Christina Moraitis in the fourth round.
That allowed Katharine Slayton and Julie Trawick to pull the Stars even at 3-3, setting up Morgan's attempt to close out the fifth round.
The freshman noticed Kowalewicz had pretty much been on the previous three rounds, and decided to throw the Providence keeper a change-up.
"Every day in practice, we practice PKs. So I knew I had to stay calm and know where to place the ball and go with your gut," Morgan said. "I knew there were three other shots that went to (Kowalewicz's) left. So, I went to her right."
And Morgan's shot to Kowalewicz's right sailed inside the near post to give Wesleyan the win.
Like the Wesleyan girls, the Providence boys (8-7, 5-2) avenged an earlier loss in the series after falling to Wesleyan (8-4-1, 4-3) by an identical 2-1 score March 9.
Unlike the girls game, however, goals came fast and furious during the early moments of each half.
The Stars got on the board just 5:14 after the opening kickoff by cashing in on some good fortune when Wesleyan goalkeeper Carter Flachbarth slipped while coming off his line to make a play on a ball sent into the penalty area.
That allowed McQuaig to speed in from the right wing and sent a shot across the goal box and inside the back post to put Providence up 1-0. Just 1:40 later at the 33:06 mark, McQuaig keyed another scoring play -- this time, sending a long ball up the middle that Josh Platillero ran down and popped over a charging Flachbarth and into the net, making the Stars' lead 2-0.
"That was probably the best 10- to 15-minute stretch we've had (in a while)," Providence coach Todd Henry said. "We just connected. Caleb is coming off a broken ankle (earlier this year). This is just his sixth or seventh game back and he's just now getting to where he can be."
But after the two early goals, Wesleyan tightened up, and the Wolves countered with a goal in the opening two minutes of the second half.
Some nifty footwork sent Eric Sunderman on a run up the middle before dropping off a pass to Zac MacKenzie, who then sent Drew Sutton on a run down the left wing before he pulled up and sent a crossing shot that deflected off the near post and in, pulling the Wolves to within 2-1 with 38:13 still remaining.
But with Wesleyan holding territorial control much of the second half, Providence was able to stay on top. A couple of throw-ins by Sunderman to Cole Warren within a two-minute stretch midway through the second half just missed, with the first being deflected by Stars' goalkeeper Evan Flowers and the second sailing just over the crossbar.
And Wesleyan's last opportunity came up short as Sutton collided with Flowers going after a long ball just inside the penalty area as the buzzer sounded, which drew a red card for the Wesleyan senior midfielder.

Discounts on the Edward Brand?
Volvo should be offering at least 2k...and hopefully attract more buyers. At the current rate they will likely pull out from the American market
At this stage in the game Volvo should offer special pricing to everyone interested, they could be going the way of the dodo.

The Traditional Building Skills Bursary Scheme
In 2006, and in partnership with Cadw, English Heritage, ConstructionSkills and the National Heritage Training Group, the National Trust established a Traditional Building Skills Bursary Scheme throughout England and Wales.
This scheme was set up to address some of the skills shortages and gaps within the traditional crafts and built heritage sector and help to build diversity in the workforce in England and Wales and is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The scheme has been extended until May 2015, specifically to help displaced apprentices.
Why do we need the scheme?
The economic landscape of the construction sector has been dramatically affected by the recession, as a result the workforce is reducing and businesses have collapsed. This programme is aimed at supporting 'displaced apprentices' - learners who are partway through their training but have been disadvantaged through a funding or placement anomaly and hence are unable to continue their training and complete their apprenticeship. The reason for their displacement could be through a lack of funding, loss of job opportunity, or through moving location. The learner must have achieved a Level 1 vocational qualification in their trade to be considered eligible for the Scheme.
How does the scheme help?
With the aid of a Heritage Lottery Grant the displaced apprentice will be placed in employment and become a traditional building skills apprentice. They will work towards their vocational qualification in a specific trade and gain experience working in the Heritage Sector.
For more information visit www.buildingbursaries.org.uk or email Elizabeth Long.

I think that each frame of this clip was individually edited using Adobe Photoshop, then strung together in a series of images...called "animation."
Years ago, before photoshop, people had to make Disney cartoons with individual drawings by hand or by PC Paintbrush.
so u guys stop probing... this is the fakiest fracture i have eva seen
and for all these "photoshopped" shenanigans, does that mean that all special effects in movies are actually called photoshops? i always thought they were special effects. thanks i-am-bored for clearing that up.

Pretty good weeknight recipe. My husband loved it. I have tons of zucchini and tomatoes in the garden right now so was looking for some recipes other than our usual. (I also subbed one leek and a small yellow onion for the red onion.) I used local bacon and cooked the bacon whole, cutting it up afterwards. I used more vegetables than called for also added some sliced fresh swiss chard at the end, which was nice. This isn't spectacular but is very tasty and a nice easy, tasty, vegetable-packed meal.flag if inappropriate
Forgot fork rating...four.flag if inappropriate
I too sauteed the squash (I used a mix of summer squash, it's all the same to me) with the onions, and it comes out great. I love this dish for using up some of the excess summer produce, and, well, everything's better with bacon. Made it twice so far and certainly will keep it in summer rotation.flag if inappropriate
Easy weeknight dinner and better than all the Italian restaurants around town! Used spaghetti of gemelli and it turned out great.flag if inappropriate
Easy, delicious, and surprisingly sophisticated. I wouldn't try to make it without great, fresh veggies.flag if inappropriate
YummM! Such an easy weeknight meal, and a great way to use up leftover veggies. I added chopped bell pepper, mushrooms, and a few sundried tomatoes. I also used a can of fire roasted diced because I don't usually have fresh tomatoes in the winter, and slightly decreased the bacon (to 10 slices) and goat cheese (to 3.5 oz). Did a full box of barilla plus penne (14 oz). Will make again - and like that it's so easy to play with and add to.flag if inappropriate
Needed weeknight inspiration and found it with this easy and scrumptious recipe! Added a diced yellow bell pepper and garlic to the onion sauté, followed by zucchini. Subbed a tin of diced toms for fresh and omitted bacon to avoid a trip to the grocers...didn't matter, still a delicious dinner!flag if inappropriate
This was great. I did not use 12 slices of bacon because it would have been too much using the homemade bacon I have so I used 8 ounces of bacon ends diced. Wonderful and fast recipe. The type of zucchini I am growing this year does not have many seeds so I did the boil method and it was great. With a different zucchini I might have sauteed it instead. I also used rose wine because I had some leftover from the night before and it worked fine.flag if inappropriate
Really great. The only change I made was to scale everything up slightly to use a pound of pasta (I hate recipes that leave me with a quarter of a box left over). I thought the boiled squash were fine, but sauteing them with the onion would probably be even better. The squash are starting to take over the garden, so I'm sure I'll be making this many more times this summer, especially when the tomatoes come in as well.flag if inappropriate
Love it! Use TJ's herbed goat cheese. Can make with or without bacon, but better with bacon.flag if inappropriate

Alan Simpson and Piecelock 70 proudly present The Mop
First Edition Hardcover & Limited Edition Box Set with 45
After a series of failed relationships, author Alan Simpson unwittingly accepts a job that will change his life: porn store clerk in Sydney's thriving red light district.
In this stark and honest memoir, Simpson documents the final days of the 90's porn shop heyday as it unsuspectingly teeters on the verge of internet-driven obsolescence. With a flair for wit and the ability to casually describe even the most bizarre circumstances, Alan Simpson captures every ounce of humor, sadness and inconceivable deviance in a world where junkies, hookers and johns are heroes and seemingly upstanding citizens foray with abysmal intent.
"The book records my journey from innocent hetty-boy (the stores' token straight male) to jaded and surly porn store clerk. The Mop is an honest look at one man's bad luck. A firsthand account of one of the worst jobs out there and a behind the scenes view of a world most readers are unfamiliar with. The Mop examines how a relatively normal, middle class kid ended up in porn and what he did to escape it. It documents the lessons learned and the sights seen along the way, showing that friendship, love and laughter can be found in the most unlikely of places. The Mop is written for every person that has walked past a porn store and wondered what goes on behind the curtain, for everyone that plucked up the courage to venture inside only to come face to face with a jaded porn clerk and for anyone who ever thought 'My job sucks'." – Alan Simpson.
Handbound in leather, gold foil stamped and proudly printed and bound in the USA, The Mop First Edition is printed in a limited quantity of 750 units. 250 of these units are encased in a handmade cardboard box containing a promotional 45 by Thes One of People Under The Stairs, gold printed Mop hand towel and individually unique o-band with vintage adult packing material inside.
NOTICE: The Mop contains adult material and is not suitable for young or sensitive audiences. The Mop Box Set may contain nudity. Mature Audiences only. Comes packed in plain white bag. NSFW.

Chris Hemsworth may have picked up some battle scars but he's been causing some impressive damage on the set of Thor 2.
The actor, who is reprising his role as the God of Thunder in the action sequel, was snapped standing on a crushed car.
If he flattened it, that's some impressive superhero power!
Wearing silver armour and a red cape, the Australian battled it out against actor Christopher Ecclestone and judging by these photos, it looks like he was winning!
Wielding a hammer, the 29-year-old was definitely putting a lot of effort into this battle scene.

$20 Million Renovation to Jekyll Island Resort, GA Set to Open at End of 2014 as Holiday Inn Resort
March 5, 2014 9:12am
4 March, 2014 - ATLANTA – InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) [LON:IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)] today announced that a Holiday Inn Resort® hotel in Jekyll Island, Ga., will be joining the brand's growing portfolio of vacation destinations once it completes a $20 million renovation later this year. Once open, the Holiday Inn Resort brand will boast more than 30 locations across the globe with over 15 hotels in the Americas.
"We are thrilled that the Holiday Inn Resort brand is continuing to expand and building a strong presence in many of the world's best family destinations," said Joel Eisemann, chief development officer, the Americas, IHG. "This beachfront location in Jekyll Island will be backed by the quality and service guests have come to expect from the Holiday Inn brand family."
In 2013, the Holiday Inn Resort portfolio signed a new property in Nashville, with openings in Deadwood, S.D. and Grand Cayman. The brand currently has over 15 properties in the pipeline with openings across key locations such as Big Bear, Calif., Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
The latest addition to the portfolio will be located on 1200 sq. ft. of unobstructed prime beachfront space on Jekyll Island, and is expected to have 157-rooms including 40 suites. Previously an independent hotel – the Oceanside Inn and Suites – the property is poised to be a major player in the overall revitalization of Jekyll Island, a historic East Coast destination.

"The property is less than a mile away from the Jekyll Island Convention Center so we are able to cater to business and leisure guests and ensure we are helping them make the most of their stay here."
The Holiday Inn Resort brand transitioned from the Holiday Inn SunSpree® Resorts brand in 2007 as a part of the Holiday Inn global brand relaunch. The Holiday Inn® brand family's $1 billion global brand relaunch, the largest project of its kind in hospitality history, continues to drive increased quality and consistency across the global portfolio. The hotel will feature a contemporary image with emphasis on arrival and welcome services, guestroom and guest bath comfort, and a redesigned logo and signage. The Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island hotel, owned and operated by Georgia Coast Holdings, LLC, is franchised by an affiliate of IHG.

Reason 5: Experience
The experience you get from a job is priceless no matter what type it is. You'll learn new things and meet new people. Experiencing all the good and bad aspects of the working.
Reason 6: Multi-tasking
Learning how to multi-task school, having a job, and a social life is very challenging. You'll find yourself better at managing your schedule productively.
Reason 7: Having Money
Having money on hand allows you to buy stuff because you can't when you're broke. It gives you more opportunities to experience certain things in life you can't without money.

Additional Location Information
Fubuki is located in the center of Hirafu Village, the largest village in the Niseko Ski area. It is situated on the edge of the village capturing stunning views of the snow laden birch tree forest behind through ceiling to floor windows and of Mt Yotei. The ski shuttle bus which drops you to either the Family chair or the new gondola, runs right past the door every 3 minutes and Fubuki is a 3 minute walk to the main restaurant street: Momiji-Zaka. The 2 village supermarkets are a 5 minute walk away. Fubuki 2 has a parking space outside the property and is very centurally situated in the village and a short walk from everything.
