During a recent trip to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, I have been overwhelmed with the contrast in cultures; however, the most heartbreaking difference of all has been my experience in the local clinic. I am a nurse currently working at Toledo Hospital and have spent the last two days in the small corridors of what we know as the typical doctor's office. The doctor at the clinic is employed by the government and works there Monday through Friday from 7a.m.–1 p.m. On his staff is one nurse, one pharmacist, and a guard at the front door. He sees about 28 patients per day and helps to cure a variety of illnesses, from a mild rash to broken fingers.
What has struck me the most is the lack of resources within the clinic. It's easy for us to understand that not every country can be as advanced in healthcare as the United States because we have an endless supply of medicines, gauze, surgical tools, hand sanitizer, gloves, syringes, etc. But in this clinic, the nurse creatively uses what she has at hand to maintain quality and safe care. She uses an empty medicine bottle to put cotton balls and hydrogen peroxide inside for alcohol swabs, something that in the United States comes individually wrapped for a one time use. She also opens sterile packages to use bits and pieces of what's inside on multiple patients, a practice that is never even heard of in the states. My eyes have been opened to what is happening in cultures around me and I am driven to do everything in my power to help bring the necessary supplies to the clinic.
Progress and payoff on the swing set...

Rosecrance – in response to the closure of another longtime facility – will open a new outpatient office for mental health and substance abuse treatment next week in McHenry County.
The agency expects to hire more than 20 people and will recruit from the current staff at Family Service & Community Mental Health Center, which is closing its doors this weekend, according to a news release.
The new treatment center will be called Rosecrance McHenry County and will initially operate from the same place where Family Service & Community Mental Health Center is currently located at 4100 Veterans Parkway in McHenry in hopes of minimizing the disruption of services to current patients and "prevent a gap in care," according to the release.
Patients seeking services for the first time also will be accepted.
The Illinois Department of Human Services has promised Rosecrance financial support and licensing, and the McHenry County Mental Health Board has OK'd the agency as a funded provider for county residents.
Rosecrance board members approved the opening of the new center on Tuesday. Nearly 100 McHenry County residents already seek inpatient treatment for substance abuse at Rosecrance in Rockford.
Services like adult and adolescent substance abuse intensive outpatient and individual treatment, group and individual psycho-social rehabilitation, and case management services will continue uninterrupted.

For his Execution Tour of North America, Canadian EDM artist Excision has raised the live performing stakes with more than 100,000 watts of sound and 420 square feet of video screens to show state-of-the-art 3D animations -- "Every bit of cutting edge technology that we can cram into it," he says via email.
But, Excision (nee Jeff Abel) promises, despite all that, he still has "full freedom to cater to the crowd and still be a real DJ."
"You might think this has been done before," adds Abel, "but every artist I've seen -- and I've seen nearly all of them -- have a 100 percent pre-planned set that they literally just press a 'play' button at the beginning of the show and fake it for 90 minutes. F*** that!'
"I won't ruin the surprise, but it's going to be an epic set that stays� true to my roots (and) still has enough diversity to make everyone happy. Expect to leave exhausted."
Excision, meanwhile, plans to get even more diverse in the near future. After two albums under the Excision moniker -- both released by deadmau5's mau5trap label -- Abel is now moving forward with Destroid, a dubstep band he formed in 2012 with former Pendulum drummer KJ Sawka. And, he says, it's no less ambitious than anything he's been doing as Excision.
"I really believe that the way we are putting it together sets down a new path for electronic music performance," says Abel, who also plans to keep making new music as Excision. "Yes, it uses computers, but you'd never know it, nor will you see them on stage. Two custom MIDI guitars and a fully custom digital drum kit."
He adds that Destroid will have its first album out this spring, accompanied by videos and a graphic novel series, with live dates already booked at some of this year's summer festivals in North America.
"We'll be playing our songs, covers of other tracks (and) songs shared with us by our friends," Abel says. "With intricate alien/robot costumes (and) tons of crazy technology embedded, and the freedom to play each songs differently each night, every set will be truly unique. We will always be working hard to stay at least a few steps ahead of the rest of the industry."
Excision, Paper Diamond and Vaski perform Saturday, March 30, at the Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20-$40 with a $50 four-pack. Call 313-961-5450 or visit www.livenation.com.

USU Football: Aranda gets defensive about his line
Utah State's newest defensive coordinator didn't even pretend to mince his words.
"This spring is crucial for the development of the defensive line."
Definitely an important directive, but also very true.
There isn't a lot of experience on the defensive line outside of potential All-WAC tackle Al Lapuaho. Connor Williams and Travis Seefeldt are starting next to Lapuaho. Neither have started before in an Aggie uniform. Plus, former Sky View star Eric Bernston, a return missionary, has made his way onto the two-deep.
That means, the line has to gain experience and quickly. That means the line has to gel, and gel quickly. Havea Lasike has experience, but he's out right now with an injury at nose tackle. Aranda expects him back before the end of the spring.
"The growth of the line could be the key to the spring," Aranda said.
Bojay Filimoeatu has switched positions, and is now an outside linebacker, his original position when he committed to the Aggies. That takes another weapon away from the defensive line. It should be interesting to see how things all come together in the next month.

Prepare ahead
The roasties can be boiled and coated in flour up to 1 day ahead. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to roast.
- Cut the potatoes into quarters, or eighths if really large – you want to end up with even-size 5cm pieces. Put the potatoes in a large pan of salted water and boil for 5 mins, just until the outside of the potato starts to soften. To check, try scraping a potato with a fork – it should be easy to make a mark but you shouldn't be able to slide it into the flesh. Drain really well.
- Return to the pan and scatter over the flour and polenta (if using) and a little salt. Place a lid on top of the pan and give it a couple of good shakes, coating the potatoes in the flour and polenta and lightly crushing the sides.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Place the goose fat and oil in a roasting tin large enough to hold all the potatoes in one layer and heat in the oven for 5 mins. Quickly tip the potatoes in and return to the oven. Cook for 30 mins, turning once, then increase the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook for 20 mins more or until crisp all over. Sprinkle with a little more salt, then serve.

Ultimately, building advocates is in your business interest. Transparency -- not only in conduct, but also in the processes that create customer experiences -- is a great way to build those advocates.
Last week, I had a behind-the-scenes tour of United's Network Operation Center in Chicago. If you're even remotely interested in how a global airline operates, or if you've ever wondered what's really going on when the pilot says, "We're just waiting on paperwork... another minute and we'll be pushing back for an on-time departure," then a tour like this is for you.
In the past three years, I've had many behind-the-scenes experiences, including a visit to a high-tech cotton gin in Wall, Texas; the Bangalore International Airport; Zappos' offices in Nevada; and Dunlop's tire operations at the Australian V8 Supercars event at Austin's Circuit of the Americas. I've learned a lot about how the respective processes associated with these businesses actually contributed to what customers experienced. I learned enough, in fact, that it changed the way I viewed each of these businesses, as a customer.
Information via Social Can Set the Stage for a Better Customer Experience
How does this relate to social media and the management of the social customer experience? When customers understand your business and how it actually operates, they are likely to adopt a reasonable expectation when it comes to the delivery of an experience associated with your product or service.
Here's an example: Dell's social media team occasionally posts weather updates. Why? Because informing customers waiting on a new laptop that a storm in Memphis may delay helps reset expectations. For its part, FedEx has created a video that explains how the Memphis hub operates. Take a look at this video and how it provides insight into just how complex overnight delivery really is.
Then, look at this second video, showing the real-time rerouting of FedEx aircraft as a severe storm passes over Memphis, minimizing shipping delay:
As a result, Dell's customers are prepared for the worst and are more likely to experience the best: the on-time delivery of their new Dell. When customers understand your business at this level, and when your savvy engagement team takes a tip from Dell's uses detailed, relevant information to manage customer expectations the result is an improvement in the overall customer experience.
My tours of Bangalore airport and Zappos were equally informative: understanding how internal teams are formed at Zappos, at what motivates them toward excellence was all clearly on display. When you see teams of people working together purely to create a "wow" moment, you understand how Zappos has managed to operationalize customer happiness.
The same was true of my tour of the airport, where I learned about the ways in which gates are managed and repurposed. The gates in Bangalore's main terminal are split into three sections, with one set dedicated for domestic, one set for international, and one set of "swing gates" that can be used for either. During the day, two sections operate together for domestic flights. In the evening, the gates are reconfigured so that international flight capacity is increased. The result is an airport that operates smoothly, delivering the experience of a much larger facility.
The tour of United NOC was amazing: literally everything that happens on every United flight is controlled from the network operations center. Seemingly unrelated decisions-planning flight routes for an aircraft to include scheduled maintenance at a particular facility ten days hence, overseeing the location on a specific flight of individual cargo containers as the plane in being loaded, crew schedules and the inevitable changes during flu season are all planned and then managed-in real time-from this central facility.
How Does This Knowledge Change the Customer Experience?
First, when your customers understand how your packages are shipped, or how your flights and airplanes are scheduled and managed, they are more likely to appreciate what you do and correctly prepare for an alternate course when signaled that a change to what had been expected may be imminent.
As a direct result of the information they have at hand, your customers stay calm.
When customers have the information they need to understand what is happening -- and when they can choose that alternate course of action -- those customers tend to be more patient. From a customer experience perspective it can make all the difference. From a business perspective, it means ROI for example via reduced support costs.
Back to social media and social customer experience: how is the above relevant, and how can you use behind-the-scenes tours to your advantage?
There are at least three ways:
1. Use onsite tours to show customers what really happens, so that they understand that people just like themselves are making decisions in the best way they can toward the end goal of customer happiness.
It's harder to be upset when a packaged is delayed if you've met the people who are doing their best to get it to you. Do things always work out? Of course not. Generally speaking though, the businesses that you are loyal to, that you choose over and over, tend to do the majority of things right. (Which largely explains your loyalty!)
It stands to reasons then that helping customers understand key business processes translates into a bit of needed patience on a bad day, and a new level of appreciation when things are clicking right along.
2. Use tours to build advocates. When customers understand how your business really works, they are in a better position to post about the positive, and to act as advocates when the wheels are falling off the bus. A few customers helping to reassure another goes a long way when the negative comments start flowing on Twitter.
3. Use social media for reach and maximum impact. Look back at the FedEx videos. Use social channels like YouTube to extend and spread the impact of your "insiders' tour" program further. Not all businesses can appropriately bring tour groups on-site and not all customers have the time or ability to attend an onsite event. Use digital channels to bring these experiences to your customers.
Ultimately, building advocates is in your business interest. Transparency -- not only in conduct, but also in the processes that create customer experiences -- is a great way to build those advocates.
Whether you arrange onsite tours, offer localized workshops or other hands-on, how-to events, or turn to the social web to publicize the inner workings of your business, consider adding activities to your 2014 social customer experience strategy. Teach your customers about how your business really runs because when they truly understand it, you win.

Construction spending improves, but there are threats
Posted By Wayne Grayson On November 13, 2012 @ 9:30 am In Construction News | No Comments
The architecture, engineering and construction industry has experienced an upward trend in the past year, and it could continue, SmartBlogs reports [2].
However, according to SmartBlog's report, three economists warn of issues that could negatively affect the trend: the "fiscal cliff," troubled state economies, tight lending standards and the Obama administration's regulatory agenda.
Ken Simonson, chief economist at the Associated General Contractors of America, told SmartBlogs the fiscal cliff is the biggest threat to the current outlook, leading to "a $2 billion reduction in federal construction spending;" up to 66,500 architecture, engineering and construction jobs lost; and tax increases that would slow home and private nonresidential construction spending.
Other possible problems for public construction include the possibility of losing a mortgage-interest deduction, strained local and state economies and Congress' lack of spending, Baker and Simonson noted.
Kermit Baker, chief economist at the American Institute of Architects, said housing starts are up 35 percent since 2011. Private residential construction, which led the housing starts, was up to a seasonally-adjusted 20.9 percent between 2011 and 2012.
Simonson said multifamily spending increased 49 percent in a year, a trend that could continue. Simonson told SmartBlogs he expects to see a 6- to 10-percent increase in total construction spending per year.
Bernie Markstein, chief economist at Reed Construction Data, told SmartBlogs he expects commercial construction to continue to improve. Baker said the Architectural Billings Index has started to recover, a trend that is likely to continue for the ABI.
Other boosts in construction include the oil shale boom, spending on private nonresidential work in the power sector and work on the Panama Canal.
Despite boosts in many construction sectors, spending on highways and roads; educational facilities; sewage, water and waste disposal; communication projects; and lodging, religious and conservation work decreased.

A blast from the past: Amelia's preschool graduation. This year, Seven Generations saw a mass exodus of staff on every level, and we will be returning to a very new and different school. We've also had some requested changes that I don't think I'm too fond of. We shall see how things turn out… This post was first published on 6/18/2009.
This Wednesday was the last day of school "first years" for both my daughters. Zoe completed her first year of preschool and Amelia finished her first year of "real" school (kindergarten). As I drove Amelia home from her last day yesterday, tears in my eyes, I realized how entirely naive I had been about kids with special needs and school and my daughter's disability, and how I have reached another level of acceptance right then in that car ride.
In September, I barely noticed the gap between her and her peers. Why were they only scheduling her to count to 30? (She made it to 15, and one to one is still stuck around 5.) Why were they not doing kid writing with her? (She can write most of the letters, some in both cases, but not words yet.) Why weren't they pushing her spelling skills? (She's actually pretty good with letters and the alphabet; they solidly taught this to her.)
I've been assured that she's ready for the first grade, but there is a doubt in my heart that they are saying that because we pushed so hard in her August IEP. She is pre-registered for a charter school – full inclusion, first year it's open – but I'm not sure if it's not better to put her in an instructional learning situation with her peers.
I'm way too new at this, but there is a part of me that knows she will be ok. I just look at her sometimes, ya know, and marvel at God's handiwork. Oh Lord, I'm crying as I write this.
Don't think I don't feel this same way about Zoe, who made great strides this year. From 2 words, she has what now? 30? Today sitting on my belly she said a new word, "padcake", which means "pat-a-cake", which she LOVES. The new TSS is working out lovely, and Amelia today had her evaluation. I brought her and guess what? I LOVED the psychologist. He was AWESOME. He treated her like a kid, even as we discussed the difficulties particular to Down syndrome. Didn't condescend. Didn't label (she does NOT have ODD). Didn't go remotely near anything topic like "medication." He even said some of her speech patterns were seen in typically developing 6 year olds. He thought she was a regular kid, with some learning difficulties, no biggie.
My hope, my prayer, my fondest wish for my children is that they can grow up in a world where everyone treats them like that. I know, that's a wish I don't even get. Everyone on this planet is judged in age, race, sex, gender, and a million other things they were born with every day. But I hope that there are times, days, places and people that will give them a breather from that sometimes.
Can I just say how gosh-darn proud I am of my two little angels? Kids with special needs and school do go together, but it's up to us parents to make that work!

Most of what I post about is specifically for K-12 computer science education but I recently received the following about some curriculum designed for university level students. Still my experience tells me two things. One is that I do have a good number of university lever readers. And two there are teachers and schools and students in some high schools who can and do take every advantage of materials targeted at older students. So here you go:
Just a quick note to let you know that the following three university level courses are now available on Faculty Connection. The courses are modular for easy integration into existing curricula; they are app development oriented; each contains instructor guides, PPTs, labs/tutorials and video files that accompany the exercise files.

The sound of traffic, the smell of exhaust, the sight of strip malls, gas stations and fast-food chains; your senses tell you that you're standing at the busy intersection of a city suburb. But as you look out at the concrete scatter and toxic sprawl, what you might not so readily see is that you're also standing at a metaphorical crossroads – where one road leads to more of the same, and the other toward the opportunity to transform the space around you.
A new tool from the Natural Resources Defense Council called Picturing Smart Growth is helping us to imagine what this transformation might look like. Step-by-step visioning allows users to watch the "before" "during" and "after" scenes unfold as actual American neighborhoods transition from bland suburban development to inviting, walkable streetscapes.
Smart Growth is a school of thought that challenges the avenue of thought that leads to more of the same, car-centric planning and development that engenders wasteful sprawl. Advocates of smart growth promote the idea of compact cities, a new urbanism that champions walkability, affordability, sustainable technology and density.
With the help of its partners at Urban Advantage, the NRDC presents a series of chronological images representing the Smart Growth transformations that could take place at 70 locations across the United States. Each set illustrates how local communities can implement solutions like public parks, bicycle networks, infill and mixed use development to help their cities become more sustainable, beautiful and useful.
The interactive webtool is designed to educate environmentalists, developers, planners and community members about what Smart Growth and development might look like. Kaid Benfield, director of the NRDC's smart growth program, said that they created the site to inform but also to challenge conventional -- and sometimes misguided -- beliefs about development.
"People are fearful of development, instinctually suspicious," Benfield said. "We wanted to raise the level of sophistication, to move to terms like "good" and "not-so-good" development, instead of development versus no development."
Many environmentalists have opposed the idea of development altogether, rejecting it because of its encroachment upon natural or historic areas. Although their sentiments are understandable, Benfield said, it's not responsible to say no to development because growth is happening. We need to take on that responsibility and make sustainable development decisions.
Benfield said that he hopes that Picturing Smart Growth can help visually communicate the pieces that make up a sustainable neighborhood: green buildings, transit-oriented development, affordable housing and walkable streets. The tool's creators hope that it will help developers and planners present new possibilities to their audiences, and provide citizens with information that they can take to their planning boards and elected officials, and raise their collective understanding of how Smart Growth projects can transform public spaces.
"Visual images communicate so much better than trying to describe mixed use or a what a certain amount of density looks like," Benfield said. "It's much easier to communicate with pictures. And by going step by step we can help people understand which particular features make places more sustainable. One step at a time you can see what the components of a sustainable neighborhood are."

Although their sentiments are understandable, Benfield said, it's not responsible to say no to development because growth is happening. We need to take on that responsibility and make sustainable development decisions.
He's right: growth is happening, and that growth (for the time being) should be accommodated in the best ways possible.
But the growth is happening because the growth is being pushed and pursued, not because "growth is inevitable," like we're told. Making smart decisions as far as growth is concerned is good, but it's important to see why that growth is being pursued so it can then be limited and eventually stopped.
From an article by Dr. Al Bartlett, someone I would consider an expert on the mathematics surrounding growth:
The arithmetic is clear. Steady growth produces impossibly large numbers in modest periods of time. SO GROWTH WILL STOP. Referring to Boulder, we have read the innumerate statement "So our choice is not whether we grow, but how we grow." The authors of this statement would like us to believe that the battle against growth is lost, so our only role is to be the best possible losers. They write that we should give up the efforts to achieve a quiet stability for our community, and in defeat, we should "embrace the principles of Smart Growth." We can understand this. That's the game in which they are the big winners.
We must remember that "Smart Growth" and "Dumb Growth" both destroy the environment, but "Smart Growth" destroys the environment with good taste. Frosty Woolridge quotes a writer who points out the stark truth, "Growth is not the answer; it's the problem."
The innumerate theme of the promoters is "The Front Range is going to grow whether we like it or not." If this is true, it is because so many Front Range leaders are active and successful in promoting growth. The Legislature and all manner of public and private regional and local "civic groups" are promoting "economic development" which is the "politically correct" name for "growth."

Account Analysis
Account analysis allows a business to offset fees and service charges by maintaining compensating balances. Instead of being "hard charged" for services throughout the month, a running total, called "soft charge" is tracked. At the end of the month, the account will receive an earnings credit on the monthly average available balance. An analysis statement is produced each month with an itemized summary of charges, average balance, and earnings credit.

Pedestrian safety made priority with 60 new countdown crosswalk signals
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - In the latest round of California local highway safety improvement program grants, Public Works received $190,000 for pedestrian count down signal head traffic light upgrade project.
The project will install pedestrian countdown signal heads at 60 intersections throughout the city.
This is the third grant received to improve pedestrian safety around Bakersfield.
"We had to look at areas that had a lot of pedestrian and bicycle traffic and then we're hoping to reduce the number of accidents for bicyclists and pedestrians at these intersections," John Ussery, a civil engineer at Public Works, said.
Some argue the countdown encourages drivers to hurry through intersections instead of slowing down.
"We have been in contact with other cities that use these and we haven't heard any of these complaints,"
Ussery said.
The project will install the signal heads in major intersections including 34th street, Auburn street, Brundage lane, California avenue, Ming avenue, Truxtun avenue and White lane.
Once the project is complete, there will be countdowns at 100 intersections in Bakersfield.

Gordon-Coy wins 2010 Discussion Meet
Nichole Gordon-Coy of Carrollton is the winner of OFBFs 2010 Discussion Meet.
Reporters, please visit our news room located in the Media and Publications section of this site.
Nichole Gordon-Coy of Carrollton is the winner of OFBFs 2010 Discussion Meet.
Adam and Aubrey Bolender of Russelville have been recognized as the 2010 Outstanding Young Farmers. Jenifer Weaver of North Jackson was recognized as the recipient of the Excellence in Agriculture Award
Representatives from Medical Mutual of Ohio provided farmers at Ohio Farm Bureau's annual meeting with an overview of a number of new provisions in the nations new health care law and an outlook on the politics surrounding it.
Nationwide Insurance was started to help farmers and it wants to continue to be in the marketplace to do just that, according to CEO Steve Rasmussen.
Social media has benefited agriculture in many ways, according to Ohio Farm Bureau Communications Specialist Dan Toland.
The Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board is moving slowly, but thats because it is being thorough, Ohio Department of Agriculture Director (ODA) Robert Boggs told attendees at Ohio Farm Bureaus annual meeting.
How much money will it cost and where will it come from? With heightened awareness about federal spending, those will be the two questions lawmakers will be asking about every proposal they consider, including the 2012 Farm Bill.
The opportunity to participate in the discussions that shape agriculture is the No. 1 benefit of membership in Ohio Farm Bureau, according to Executive Vice President Jack Fisher.
Ohio governor-elect John Kasich highlighted several of his priorities and introduced the next director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture during Ohio Farm Bureaus annual meeting.
After being elected in their counties to finalize Ohio Farm Bureau Federations (OFBF) policies, 343 family-farmers served as delegates to the groups annual meeting.

If I got the job on Wall Street, do I still need to network in finance?
No, you don't have to do anything you don't want to...SHOULD you continue to network? Absolutely.
Try to help undergraduates just like people helped you. Try to reach out across groups, across banks and continue to build a strong foundation that can help you get a new job should you suddenly lose your current one. When you only try to network when you need something, you'll soon find that there are less people around when you need that help.
If you build meaningful relationships and network as a way to continue learning, you are significantly more likely to have more options and more success throughout your career.
Learn to enjoy networking and embrace it. You will thank us in 10 years. Remember, networking is as much about what you can offer, not just about what you can get out of an interaction.

The latest issue of Cook's Illustrated (Sept/Oct 2010) has a recipe for foolproof pie crust. Their secret ingredient? Cold Vodka. The instructions say, however, that any 80 proof spirit would work because any alcohol and flavor will cook off in the oven.
The theory behind adding vodka is that gluten doesn't form in alcohol, so the dough can be handled a little more without becoming tough.
So I wonder what pie crust with bourbon in it would taste like? I'm going to try it, soon as it's not too hot to be making pies.

Want to rub shoulders with some of the cast and crew? You'd better get yourself down to Cardiff pretty soon then.Ahead of its television debut on 23 August, the BBC will hold a world premiere for Deep Breath, the first episode of season eight (or season 34 if you're counting the original run), in the Welsh capital on 7 August. BBC Wales has produced the show since its return to broadcast in 2005, and the city has become its home.Described by the Beeb as a "lunchtime red carpet event", the premiere will have series producer Steven Moffat and the show's actors in attendance. Tickets will be available to purchase in person only from St David's Hall box office from Monday, 7 July.The event is being run as part of the British Film Institute's Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder season, which will see genre classics The Day the Earth Caught Fire, The Man Who Fell to Earth, and Flash Gordon screened outdoors at the British Museum at the end of August.The Cardiff premiere also kicks off the Doctor Who world tour, which will take Capaldi and co. to meet fans in London, New York, Mexico City, Seoul, Sydney, and Rio De Janeiro between 7-19 August. The tour does, however, mean that for the first time in years, there won't be a Who panel at San Diego Comic-Con, which has previously seen some big announcements regarding the series made. Better keep an eye on tour reports for any TARDIS-related info. Latest on wired.co.uk

Share a great story about the antics of your working dog.
Ended on 16 Dec 2012
Watching man and dog work a mob of recalcitrant sheep is always a delight.
The dog from death row with a secret obsession!
She's a trusty sidekick and the star of many ABC Open Productions. And now she's a mum...with a frisbee.
Although you may think otherwise from this photo Gus is a very calm well controlled kelpie with a great instinct for working sheep. Here he was at play not work, chasing another dog for a bit of rough and tumble.
The pleasures of life with a working dog who loves to improvise.
Picture of Tucker (Right, Kelpie, 6 Weeks) with his new mentor Chips (Left, Kelpie cross Dingo, 12yrs) relaxing in the shade from the sun.
Neil Lynch's working dog Ali had an innate presence that made her indispensable on the farm. But often the very instincts that make a good working dog are also the source of the most trouble.
Newly arrived in Australia from Africa, Brian aspired to own a good cattle dog. The arrival of one pathetic, unwanted puppy did not seem to bode well for this plan. This is the story of Storm and his life with us.
We run free workshops and can give you skills training and advice on how to create and share your story

'fore!' by allan teger as part of the bodyscapes® photographic series
self-taught american photographer allan teger has sent designboom new images from his body of work 'bodyscapes®', with a series of black and white photographs
depicting miniature scenes on the nude body mimicking various landscapes. the images are not double exposures and uses no digital manipulation,
only small scale figures arranged on the naked form to illustrate predominantly outdoor activities, where a belly-button may act as a
lake or a sculpted derrière as a mountain.
teger was initially trained as a psychologist, with the bodyscapes® concept evolving from his teaching as an academic counselor.
teger would lecture readings on tao te ching, the bhagavad-gita, books by ram Dass, carl rogers, huxley, watts and others.
the notions of altered realities, subjective reality, and mystical consciousness became part of his artistic understanding.
teger describes the development of his work:
'I remember the moment that the idea for bodyscapes® came to me. I was thinking that the shape and structure of the universe repeated itself
at every level and suddenly I had the image in my mind of a skier going down a breast. this was it – the universe repeating its shapes –
a body looking like a mountain. it was also an example of two realities coexisting. the picture could be seen as a landscape and it could also be seen as a body.
although they were different, both perceptions were right at the same time. I knew instantly that I had an entire series of images waiting to be captured on film.'
the ongoing project started in 1976, with the set updated regularly to this day, most are shot with a medium format mamiya RB67 and either tri-X or t-max film.
the regular edition bodyscapes® are printed on ilford multigrade paper, and the collector's edition is printed on agfa classic 118 fiber paper.
teger also has a book of the pieces due out in september from schiffer publishing.

O come on – you must be above this kind of soft porn – juvenile
this is so bad
so well executed, beautiful use of the human body
remarkably poor job…I don\'t get why you would feature such a horribly cheap and gimmicky project – and no, it\'s not well executed, it\'s not able to transform the human body to a landscape at all…
Boffoli did it wááááááy better!
PLEASE – the more I think about this the more offensive and puerile it is – take it down. Embarrassing that a site I follow puts up this juvelalia for boys!
juvenilia !!!
taken by a pretentious, heterosexual, adolescent boy i presume?
you love it, or hate it, i love it !!!
sexi, perv, LOL
a penis as a diving board? balls as a boulder shading some guys on a picnic? lips of vagina as the grand canyon! it just gets boring
Fantástico!! Realmente genial, muy creativo! El cuerpo humano es demasiado bello, pero para cuando una sesión de fotos de un cuerpo masculino???
I like this; especially, the golfer in the grass. As an artist I have embedded the human form in landscape paintings to provide subsconsciously familiar comforting curves. This work reminds me of the child in all of us who, while very young, walks the doll or pushes the truck over mom\'s body. Of course, when we are older we don\'t remember we did it.
It's not 'just some boy's art porn' as some people seem to claim. That said, there is precisely one image with any hair present at all, and limited variety in the forms presented. To support this as a thorough exploration of "The Nude Body as a Landscape" (for anything at all) would be difficult.
Wonderfully done. Not trite, and I do not understand all the negative comments. This is new and fresh…and playful…but also artfully taken photos. Less is more…and this really works. I do not see "porn" …just because a human figure is utilized in a photo….ridiculous comments.
Nothing new about this..
look at slinkachu and many more
If you think this is any kind of porn, you clearly haven't spent enough time on the internet.
nice to see something here that is nothing but fun (& satire 2?) – the duffer is priceless
also delighted to see this offended so many people
vERy CriAtivE…VeRY-vEry GooD! : D
lol, it ranked #1 in terms of number of views
I mispoke earlier – that's not a duffer, its a muffer
"'I remember the moment that the idea for bodyscapes® came to me." I was playing with tiny toys and looking at a smoking hot naked ladies and voila! If I put my tiny toys on the naked ladies, that would be really fun. Then I take photos, draft up some self-indulgent drivel and call it art. Next up, we're staging miniature kayaker's on a penises racing across a bathtub. Then we include a very deep explanation on the juxtaposition of miniature rowers, penises and a bathtub….
They look like pictures of Michal Jedrad ?
c o o o o o o o o l ! i worship women body, i hope live on that for ever:p

La Cartuja De Granada
This Carthusian Monastery, is a very tranquil place to visit.
Beautiful cloisters, lovely art works, and a sumptous church.
No photography is allowed inside (and they enforce this,) but you can take photo's in the cloister and outside.
It's a pity that they have not opened up a monks cell for visiting, that would make the visit complete.
Well worth a visit.
Unfortunatly, the leaflet you are given when you buy your ticket is in Spanish = the only language it is printed in, but in one of the shops at the car park area, you can buy guides in other languages cheaply.

The Monastery of Cartuja
The Carthusian monastery was built sometimes in 1516 , stands in the north of the city. Near the restored monastery of San Jerónimo (1492) is the University of Granada, which was founded in 1526 and received its charter in 1531; it is now housed in a former Jesuit college.
Opening Hours

La Cartuja de Granada
La Cartuja de Granada, Granada Charterhouse, is a Carthusian monastery. In 1506 Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, the Great Captain, donated to the Carthusian monks the land to build the Monastery. The construction began in 1516 and continued for the following 300 years. Awfully, some parts of the monastery were destroyed, such as the great cloister. But we can still see the most of it.
There is a great contrast between the sober exterior and the rich decoration of the church.
Before going up the stairs leading to the façade, notice the paving made with white and black stones. On the façade we can see the marble image of St. Bruno.
The central piece of the monastery is the Cloister, with Doric columns. Around this patio there are some small chapels, the Refectory, the Room of Sts. Peter and Paul, the Old Chapel, the Chapterhouse and the main piece, the Church.
In the Refectory there are some paintings of Juan Sánchez Cotán, representing different episodes of the Carthusian order, such as foundation or the prosecution suffered in England under the rule of Henry VIII. Other paintings represent the Last Supper and scenes of the Passion.
The Room of Sts. Peter and Paul is adjacent to the Refectory. There was a fountain where the monks used to wash before eating, while reciting the psalm De Profundis clamave ad Te, Domine. This room is also decorated with paintings of Juan Sánchez Cotán. One of these paintings represents the Apostles Peter and Paul.
The Church
The Church, including the Presbytery, the Sancta Sanctorum and the Sacristy, is an example of Baroque style.
The Church has a single nave divided into three parts. The first part was for the monks, the second for the laity, and the third, near the door of the church, was for the people. Along the church there are also paintings of Juan Sánchez Cotán. The walls are lavishly decorated with plaster and paintings of Bocanegra, such as the Immaculate and Our Lady of the Rosary.
In the Presbytery we find a rich polychrome ornamentation. There are gypsum sculptures and paintings of Bocanegra and Sánchez Cotán. The High Altar is under a wooden canopy decorated with mirrors. The Presbytery is covered by an elliptical dome.
The Sancta Sanctorum is separated by a door made of Venetian glass. This part of the church can be considered a masterpiece of the Spanish Baroque. Architecture, Sculpture and Painting merge creating a magnificent work around the marble Tabernacle. The author was Francisco Hurtado Izquierdo.
The Sacristy was designed by Francisco Hurtado Izquierdo. There are nice retables and paintings, works of artists such as Alonso Cano, but the most impressive for me was the furniture. All the doors and drawers are veneered with mahogany, lignum vitae, ebony, shell, ivory and silver. José Manuel Vázquez, the artist, worked on this Sacristy for 34 years. Also the magnificent door that separates the Sacristy from the Presbytery is decorated with the same fine woods.
The Carthusian order was founded in France by St. Bruno. It is a Roman Catholic order of enclosed monks and nuns. The Carthusians had once 24 monasteries in Spain. They all were expropriated in 1836. Nowadays there are in Spain 4 inhabited Carthusian moasteries (Cartujas): Miraflores in Burgos, Montealegre in Barcelona, Aula Dei in Zaragoza and Porta Coeli in Valencia.
Opening hours:
From Monday to Sunday.
Winter: 10:00 to 13:00, from 15:00 to 18:00
Summer: 10:00 to 13:00, from 16:00 to 20:00
Baroque Extravaganza
Although not in the tourist area the Carthusian Monastery is well worth a visit. The facade is not very impressive, (the best view being from the rear) walking through the 16th century arch into a courtyard, the main building being accessed via a grand staircase.
The Carthusian monks are a contemplative order with no ministry or occupation as this is incompatible with their life of solitude. Although the laybrothers may go out once a week, the monks leave the cloister only three or four times a year, spending most of the time in their cells, praying and studying. The only time they are permitted to speak is in the small workshop where they make rosary beads from rose petals. Often fasting, they have a very simple diet and never eat meat, eating only bread and water on Fridays.
The monastery was built over three centuries and never completed, with much of it destroyed over the years. The cloister, a simple courtyard, was built in the 17th century, a number of rooms open on to this, one, the solemn vaulted refectory, was only used on Sundays and Holy days, the monks eating alone the remainder of the week. In these rooms are many paintings of the martyrdom and suffering of the monks and the monastery is quite depressing until you enter the church. Breathtaking is not too strong a word for this 16th century baroque extravaganza of paintings, wallhangings, statues and columns from the great dome with its colours and gold, depicting saints and cherubs to the grand multicoloured marble tabernacle with its precious wood and bronze.
My favourite are the exquisite doors and drawers of the Sacristy with their inlaid mahogany, ebony, ivory, tortoiseshell, mother of pearl and silver.
You do not have to be religious to visit this monastery, the simple lives of the monks in comparison to the opulence of their home and the skill of the craftsmen is what you take away from your visit.
Note that photos are not permitted inside the monastery.

Monasterio de la Cartuja
Not really a short or convenient walk from the cluster of historic sites near the Plaza Nueva, it is worth the bus trip to visit the Monestario de la Cartuja. Located adjacent to the Universidad de Granada, the Monestario is a very impressive and large edifice. But the real highlight of the monastery is the artwork inside the chapel and sacristy not to mention the Sangrario (sanctuary) behind the main altar. The lavish baroque craftsmanship is quite a shock after going through the rather plain and dreary other portions of the monastery before ending the tour at the chapel. Since photos are not allowed I cannot include a photo of what I am describing…not that any photos would do justice to the spectacle. Just know that if you make the trip (and you should!) you will not be disappointed. Admission is 3 euros.
Monasterio de la Cartuja
I first went to visit the Cartuja with my friend Olga when we were still in University, she studied technical arquitect there, and i was on tourism in Malaga.
The year we were both studying art from both difernt points of view, the style one and the structure one. So we begna to discuss about all teh details and when we realised we had a group of people around asking for tecnical questions as if we were teachers... it was a great fun! Maybe because for both our hiden profesiona would be teaching, but for circunstancces, we are not both on that profesional path
La Cartuja
This was a monastery for the monks of the Carthutian order (which originated in Italy). They had a very strict schedule - it was made up of 2 hour slots and each two hour slot had to be taken by either praying, working or resting. None of the slots could repeat. Sleeping, eating and socializing was all considered resting, so the monks never got more than 2 straight hours of sleep. The work that they did in the monastery is extraordinary.
Though it the map it may look it's far away you can go walking. It's not far.
The entrance to see this beautiful building is 2.50 euros.
Monday-Saturday: 10-13/16-20
Sunday: 10-12/16-20
Monasterio de La Cartuja
Monasterio de La Cartuja is an old monastery built between the 16th and the 18th century, the monastery oozes of wealth and especially the church is beautifully decorated!

From the day of its introduction the 242 has won loud and spontaneous Hey, look! s from essentially everyone who has seen it, the adulation distributed equally among Cobalt standards of ride, performance, and handsomeness. The 242 is all about access - the wide bow walkthrough doors, the laddered swim platform, and deep, wide, right-there storage -- with every square inch maximized for all-day use, as in the bow with its optional dinette table. Remember too that practicality - adjustable backrests, insulated ice chests, removable ski pylons, cylinder-assist lifting, and chair pockets - deserve its own perhaps more restrained outbursts of affection. The 242, so much more than a pretty face.

Former Nebraska cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste (16) returns an interception for a touchdown against Southern Miss this past season. The New Orleans Saints selected Jean-Baptiste with their second-round pick, No. 58 overall, on Friday night.

The 2014 NFL draft is being held in New York City, and the New Orleans Saints' war room is just outside New Orleans.
But this draft so far for the Who Dats is all about Seattle.
The Saints suffered losses of 34-7 late in the regular season and 23-15 in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs last season to the Seahawks in which their offense and quarterback Drew Brees looked bad at Seattle, the eventual Super Bowl champion. Denver quarterback Peyton Manning looked even worse in the Super Bowl than Brees did against Seattle because of the Seahawk-sized ball hawks in the secondary. ...

How To Get People To Read Your Blog When You Are An Internet Nobody
It's easy to start a blog, but it's hard to get people to read it. Many people think that it's enough to write great articles, but they often learn the hard way that if you don't promote your blog, your readership doesn't expand beyond your grandma and your cat.
How can you attract people to your blog when you are still an internet nobody?
Guest posting is the most effective method for promoting a new blog.
Guest posting (also known as guest blogging) is an online marketing method that works like this:
- You have a website that you want to promote.
- You pick a big website in your niche that has a similar target audience.
- You write a high quality guest post, submit it to a website, and get published.
- People who like your website click on the link in your byline and visit your website.
This marketing method allows you to get your work in front of a lot of people and consequently drive targeted traffic to your own website.
It is time consuming, since you have to spend a lot of time researching websites in your niche, writing guest posts, and pitching to editors, but once the post gets published, hundreds of new visitors will rush to your blog.
Honestly, I don't know any other marketing method that is more effective for getting a new blog off the ground, therefore I suggest you to make it the core of your marketing strategy.
How to prepare your blog for the upcoming flood of traffic
It's important to understand that it's not enough to simply drive loads of traffic to your website. All your efforts are empty if people visit your blog then forget it five minutes later and never come back. You have to aim to convert your new visitors into loyal readers.
Here are two most important things that you have to take care of before your guest post goes live:
Content. You have to display interesting and valuable content if you want people to remember your blog and come back for more. No amount of traffic will help if your three most recent posts are about your cat, your favorite brand of cereal, and the latest "90210" episode.
Opt-in forms. You need to capture e-mail addresses of your new visitors in order to increase the chances of them coming back in the future. Many bloggers are shy when it comes to that, because they don't want to come across as spammers. In reality you have nothing to worry about if you put opt-in forms in the right places.
Have an opt-in form below every post, on the top of the sidebar and on your "About" page. Also, make sure to have a feature box in place.
Don't skip these. Many people rush to get their post published, but driving traffic to a website that is not optimized for converting new visitors to loyal readers is, frankly, a waste of time. It's better to put in the work and get good results than to slack off and only get 2 or 3 subscribers.
5 steps to your first guest post
I'm always surprised when I hear people whining that "guest posting is hard" and complaining that "this guest posting stuff doesn't work". The truth is that guest posting works very well if you do it the right way and the process itself isn't that complicated. You have to be prepared to put in the time and energy necessary, though.
1. Pick a website and analyze it's content. Take time to understand what kind of content an editor of a website might be looking for. Again, if you want to get published, you have to do your homework. (Stip The Blog tool will help you with that)
2. Write a high quality guest post. Your post has to provide value to the readers. Try to offer a solution to a problem they might have. Make sure that your solutions are detailed enough so that readers who try to follow the process you outlined would be able to get actual results. Also, don't leave spelling or grammar mistakes, because that greatly reduces your chances of getting published. (learn to write "solid posts")
3. Submit your guest post. Send a simple e-mail to the editor saying that you would like to do a guest post on a certain topic and attach the article to that e-mail. Don't sweat it.
4. Get an answer from the editor. Make sure that you check your e-mail regularly so you wouldn't miss the reply. In case it's been few weeks and you haven't heard from them, e-mail them again, politely reminding them about your guest post submission. Editors are very busy people, so sometimes they don't notice your submission, or forget to send you a reply.
5. Rinse and repeat until you have a popular blog. Guest posting is most effective when you do it on a regular basis. Take a look at how many new visitors and e-mail subscribers you got from your first guest post. Now, imagine, what would happen if you would publish ten or twenty more guest posts like that?
Keep in mind that writing the article is the most important part of the guest posting process. You won't be able to get a low quality guest post published no matter how hard you try. Moreover, the amount of traffic that you will get from a guest post heavily depends on it's quality. It's better to take your time and write the best post that you possibly can.
Where should you start?
There are thousands of blogs out there, how do you find those that are good for guestposting?
Well, luckily for you, Tim has created a monster list of blogs from different niches that may publish your article if it's good enough.
Here, have it:
Don't get distracted, stay focused.
Guest posting is hard. You have to put in a lot of time and energy into it in order to make it work. However, it's the most effective way to promote a new blog, therefore don't get distracted with stuff that is easier and makes you feel good about yourself, but doesn't bring any significant results (hello, social media). Stay focused on guest posting.

Previous: Navigating the Internal Structure of a PDF Document (1 of 6)
The following is a very minimal, but real, PDF file. It's been shortened for display purposes by removing a large piece of the XMP metadata stream. All COS object types are represented here, but there is only one stream object, the XMP metadata. Can you find it?
The cross reference table (the 'xref' list at the bottom of the file) has entries for 23 objects, 0 through 22. However the file only contains 7 objects. Table entries that are used to reference existing objects are marked with 'n' and unused, or free, entries are marked with an 'f'. This list gives the byte offset to a particular object from the top of the file. For example, the location of Object #1 (1 0 obj) is given by the line: '0000000016 00000 n', or 16 bytes from the beginning of the file. This is the first object in the file, it is the Pages Dictionary. It is not the first object in the PDF object hierarchy. That object is the Document Catalog, Object #5 (5 0 obj) at offset 169. Objects don't appear in any particular or useful order. If you insert or delete any characters in this file you will invalidate several of the offsets in the cross reference table, potentially making the file unreadable in Acrobat. It's a good idea never to edit a PDF file in a text editor.

The structure of a PDF File does not match the structure of the PDF Document it describes. For the most part the file looks like a list of unconnected object definitions.
