I think the difference in this species from the A. hawarthii is the I see small soft serrations on the leaf edges that I do not see on the hawarthii.....also the amount of air rooting on this plant is tremendous.

Sure looks similar, and this 'species' is not to be found anywhere on the internet save a few rare spots... could be a Huntington invention? or so rare that the super-common plant you can get at any Target is really something else?

The search for an inmate who walked away from the Blackburn Correctional Complex Monday morning ended in a Lexington neighborhood.
Police say Scott Stephenson, 28, turned up missing at 4:20 a.m. during a bed check.
Shortly after 8:30 a.m., Stephenson surrendered to police near the Calvary Free Methodist Church on Clays Mill Road.
It's unclear what brought police to the church in the first place.
Stephenson was serving time for robbery, receiving stolen property, probation violation and being a persistent felon.
If you live around Balckburn Correctional complex and you'd like to be added to the prison escape notification system you can call (866) 445-2867.

Carlos Luis de Ribera y Fievé, eldest son of the neoclassical painter, Juan Antonio de Ribera, was also a painter and a friend of Federico de Madrazo, who made this portrait while both lived in Paris. It is the result of an agreement that each would paint the image of the other, and then send the works to the annual painting exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid.
This is one of the finest of Federico de Madrazo's early portraits and it follows a model that was often used by French artists such as David, Ingres or Delaroche. The model's pose, which Madrazo was to repeat in other portraits, manages to give the personage a strongly romantic character, which is reinforced by the cape that hides the armchair.
The memory of the Spanish tradition is also present and can be seen in the resolution of the folds with broad brushstrokes, as well as the perfect capturing of the model's spirit. In keeping with this skill found in the great masters, madrazo perfectly reflects Ribera's rather melancholy character.

Promoting Social Justice in the New Global Economy
Hansenne, Michel, Monthly Labor Review
Organizations constantly have to adapt to change. This has been true of the International Labor Organization (ILO) throughout its existence and is more than ever true today. In recognition of the organization's 75th anniversary, the theme of this article, "Defending values, promoting change: social justice in a global economy," depicts the nature of new challenges facing member nations. While the basic mission of the ILO--promoting social justice throughout the world--remains unchanged, the world in which it is to be carried out has changed profoundly in recent years. The international arena is contantly driven by rapid change in the geopolitical scene, far-reaching technical progress, and the intensification of economic globalization.
While many of these changes promise greater efficiency, higher growth, employment creation possibilities, and ultimately, enhanced social welfare, such improvements will not be realized automatically. On the contrary, they will impose a heavy burden of adjustment in all countries and on all groups within countries, with the serious risk of rising inequality both among and within countries as a result. These are fertile conditions for social conflict that could frustrate the necessary processes of change. Thus, social issues need to be given substantial weight by the international community, and to be fully taken into account in managing the global economy.
Indeed, there is a great challenge to the international community today, and it is twofold. The first is to create institutions that promote effective international cooperation to manage the global economic and social transformations that are under way. The second is to adopt national policies and programs that support efficient and equitable ways for making the required economic and social changes.
The ILO is clearly obligated to play in important role in mobilizing international action to meet the challenges of globalization. In doing so, it will continue defending its core values of basic worker rights, tripartism, and social justice. But the ILO must also develop innovative means to translate these values into social reality because prescriptions to regulate the labor market and develop social policy often require updating.
This willingness to innovate is essential for the continued relevance of the ILO in its major fields of competence: labor standards, industrial relations, employment, training, and social security. In each of these fields, there is a need to adapt existing paradigms to new realities and the lessons of experience. For instance, the standardsetting activity and machinery should be adapted to the profound changes that have occurred in the nature and organization of work, as well as to the pressing social issues resulting from freer international trade and globalization of production and markets. For example, I have called for a more rigorous procedure for choosing subjects for new standards, more emphasis on evaluating existing standards, and efforts to improve the compliance of member states with ILO Conventions relating to fundamental rights. I also have offered alternatives, consistent with the voluntary nature of the ILO, to encourage governments, employers, and workers to find a multilateral approach to developing fair labor standards and free international trade.
In industrial relations, changes in labor market institutions as well as the emerging "crossborder" dimensions of collective bargaining systems have to be taken into account through dialogue and interaction between governments, employers, and workers. Social dialogue, collective bargaining, and compromise all must be encouraged everywhere and at every opportunity, because they are the key to economic and social stability. Tripartism--the symbiosis of business, labor, and government--is indeed an invaluable institution and the ILO has to ensure that it is fully recognized at the international level. This is one of the fundamental aspects of the work that lies ahead. …

Another Indy Notable Will Be on NBC's Parks and Rec
Cara Dafforn of U-Relish Farm created and sent a Crock-Pot meal, along with bona fide props, to the critically acclaimed show based in the fake town of Pawnee, Indiana.
Parks and Recreation show runners love paying homage to Indy by including tokens for authenticity throughout their hit show, which is based in fictional Pawnee, Indiana. One particular episode features Pacers big man Roy Hibbert picking up the tab for the cast at St. Elmo Steak House, while another shows the cast inside Lucas Oil Stadium taking part in the NFL Play60 event with Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne, among other Colts stars. And during the first season, Bloomington's Upland Brewing Company logged some airtime with their bottles and beer.
Tomorrow's episode, called "Farmers Market," will shine light on yet another Indiana company. This time it's City Market stalwart U-Relish Farm, owned and operated by Cara Dafforn, who received a call from producers needing assistance.
"They called and said they wanted to buy 20 bags of beans, and I told them that I sold it by the case," Daffon says. "They went further to ask about signage boards, banners, and table props. So we shipped a lot of that stuff, including linens, crates and [of course] bags of beans."
The Crock-Pot meal Dafforn cooked up for the show is plainly named "Pawnee Chickpea." It's a five-ingredient mix, primarily chickpeas with touches of garlic, cumin, paprika, and salt. The only thing left to add is water. However, the label offers an additional protein suggestion, that one serves it over rice. Sesame seeds are a good accompaniment for vegetarians, and beef for omnivores, Dafforn says.
In light of the TV exposure, she has seen a healthy increase in sales, and on Monday she sold "Pawnee Chickpea" meals exclusively to Kroger, in Fishers, Southport, and Bloomington specifically. The attention forecasts a promising future.
"The concept is it will be a catalyst for a small business to grow," Dafforn says. "I'm the only employee, and this national exposure has taken my small business to a mid-sized business."
Viewership could potentially be higher than usual due to Amy Poehler's recent victory at the Golden Globe Awards, where she picked up a statuette as best actress in a television series (musical or comedy). Tune in Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., and have a remote control ready to pause and look for U-Relish Farm products, as well as a few other City Market regulars.
Dafforn will indeed be watching, full of excitement, as millions feast their eyes on her booming business. "I dreamed that maybe USA Today or The New York Times would come through during the Super Bowl, and that did not happen," she says. "But this is better I think. I'm a little bit older as a company, my product is more tested and I have more retailers. So, I think timing is everything."

Katy Perry is falling madly in love with John Mayer.
The 'Wide Awake' - who divorced British comedian Russell Brand in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage - was spotted being very affectionate with the 'Half Of My Heart' singer at a joint birthday bash for 'Hello Giggles' blogger Sophia Rossi and 'New Girl' co-creator Liz Meriwether on Saturday night (10.11.12) and insiders say she is ''obsessed'' with him now they are ''full on dating''.
A fellow party guest told USMagazine.com: ''John had his hand on Katy's back a lot, and they were kissing and holding hands.''
The couple's date at the party - which was also attended by A-listers Jon Hamm, Mindy Kaling, Nicole Richie, Shannon Woodward and Zooey Deschanel - is just the latest in a string of romantic high profile outings for the duo since they rekindled their romance in September following a brief split in August.
A source previously revealed that they barely acknowledged other guests at Katy's 28th birthday party last month because ''they were in a world of their own.''
An insider said: ''She didn't even talk to her friends much. It was just her and John. She's obsessed with him. She said hello to people but then went right back to him.''
Friends say Katy ''believes she can change'' John and ''doesn't want to be just another one of his conquests.''
The 35-year-old rocker has previously romanced Taylor Swift, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Love-Hewitt.

There's a difference between green engineering and green design.
Green engineering reduces people's ecological impact without requiring them to change their habits. For instance, when you replace coal power with wind power, the consumer still just flicks the light switch, and their lights turn on just the same.
Green design reduces people's ecological impact by changing their habits. For instance, better urban design lets people walk to work rather than driving to work. Green design recognizes that everything has a user interface, even cities. So, how easy is it to find transit, and how close does it go to where you want, when you want? Is there a corner store a block away, or just a big-box store five miles away?
Both green engineering and green design are vital for creating the bright green future of sustainability, prosperity, and health that we all want. Of the two strategies, green engineering is currently much better understood, so let's push the green design conversation forward a bit. One green design strategy that's powerful -- but almost wholly unused -- is persuasive design.
Persuasion is a science; newborn and inexact, but a science nonetheless. Advertisers and marketers know this; designers should, too. Persuasive design is not marketing or advertising; instead, it is crafting a product's user experience so that the user's actual interaction with the product changes their behavior. Stanford lecturer and researcher BJ Fogg invented the field of study, and has published two books on the subject (the first simply called Persuasive Technology, and the other focusing on Mobile Persuasion). So far, those are the only must-read resources on the subject, but the field is growing rapidly, and the fourth annual Conference on Persuasive Technology is happening at the end of this month in Claremont, California. Proceedings from the previous conferences can be bought, though they are expensive.
Fogg has isolated more than a dozen principles of persuasion, and grouped them into three main avenues: tools, media, and social actors. Each applies more to some kinds of products than others would, and since he is primarily a computer scientist, they are weighted heavily towards software and electronics. We need more physical-product designers in this field. Here are most of the strategies, in a nutshell (at least as I interpret them):
Persuasive Tools
Tools seem to be objective, but they're not. A hammer makes you want to pound things, while a screwdriver doesn't, because pounding is what the hammer was designed for. Here are the ways that tools can persuade:
- Make a behavior easier or more convenient. This can mean doing work for you, such as when Google Transit identifies what buses you should take to get from point A to point B, a task that can take hours of sifting through paper schedules and route maps to figure out on your own. It can also mean defaults or shortcuts, like laptops that come with pre-set energy-saving sleep functions (most people never bother changing defaults). Finally, it can mean leading the user through the process when you want to encourage behavior that's complicated, multi-step, or otherwise daunting to the first-timer. Again, Google Transit is a good example: it doesn't just tell you what routes to take, it lists everything step-by-step, telling you to walk to a certain bus stop, get on a certain bus, get off at another stop and walk to the train station, etc., flagging each mode change with colors and icons, both on the map and in a list.
- Calculate / simulate / measure. It's one thing to say, "global warming is a risk." It's another thing to say, "an atmospheric CO2 level of 450ppm will cause sea level to rise 1 - 3 meters." The latter argument is not only more credible, but it is specific and actionable, and tells you the consequences of inaction. There are even multiple Google Maps applets that will simulate this world, showing you what a 1m (or 3m, or 20m) sea level rise would do to the place you live. (Just zoom out to find your home.) There are a slew of carbon footprint calculators, life cycle analysis programs, and other tools to help you quantify your impacts. Many of these tools (like LCA) even help you compare the impacts of different strategies, so you can make more intelligent design decisions and know your priorities better.
- Give feedback. Nobody wakes up wanting to despoil the Earth. But heretofore product interfaces have hidden all their scary, ugly environmental impacts from us. That helps us sleep easier, but it doesn't help us make informed decisions to control our impact. Knowing how products are performing in real time can make a big difference in people's behavior. The best-known example of this is the Prius mileage screen, which lets drivers see in real time how many miles per gallon they're getting. When they see the immediate result of inefficient decisions -- driving faster than necessary, for example -- people quickly learn how to drive more efficiently, and they choose to do so.
Persuasive Media
Media tells a story. Any product with a screen or a speaker can act like media; product packaging can act like media, too. As such, your devices and packages can utilize all the tricks of the advertising and marketing trades. Here are the main ways media can persuade:
- Cause-and-effect simulations. Letting users try different choices and see the different outcomes can be very motivating. A robot pet like the 90's fad Tamagotchi can train a user to feed and care for it properly by appearing happy, sad, or sick at the right times. With simple print media, the book 1984 took real socio-political forces and extended them into a possible future so vivid it has influenced politics for decades.
- Rehearse behavior. Performing actions in a virtual world or with a physical product get the user accustomed to performing those actions, which is one of the most powerful techniques of persuasion. Even without cause-and-effect simulation, a video game where turning out lights gets you points will train you to remember to turn out lights in real life.
- Environment simulations. Virtual worlds can train people to go beyond their normal comfort zones, either by making activities more fun or interesting, or making them safer. If exercising on a stationary bicycle is boring, it can be juiced up by getting to explore a virtual terrain while pedaling. As the videogame industry knows well, an environment that would be overwhelming or dangerous in real life can be harmless, and even quite fun, in a virtual world where no real harm can come to you, or where you can pause and step out of the world when it is too much. The game "A Force More Powerful" trains players to overthrow oppressive governments through peaceful opposition, an activity quite frightening and dangerous in the real world.
- Telling the backstory. This one is not part of Fogg's book, but is an important point where sustainable products and packaging can communicate with people. The products on the shelf in the store are as anonymous as strangers on the street. Where did they come from? Who made them, and how well were the workers treated? How much energy, water, and materials were used to make them? How much waste and toxicity did they produce, and how much will they produce in your home? How long will they live? If we knew the story of all the products on the shelf, many people's buying habits would instantly change. Some people [full disclosure: myself included] are pushing the creation of detailed eco-labels to make the backstory a more deliberate part of the purchase decision.
Persuasive Social Actors
Both real and imagined social actors can be persuasive--persuasive technology can leverage the persuasiveness of real people by multiplying their outreach. Even products themselves can behave as social actors, because we often treat them as such. Does your car have a name? Is your computer cranky, or well behaved? Even when we know objects to be simple conglomerations of steel and plastic and electronics, we still tend to imbue them with personalities. We react to them not as if they were fully human, but as if they had some character and "elan vital"--as if they were social actors. Here are the ways social actors can persuade:
- Rewards / punishments. This is the most obvious persuasive interaction, straight out of behavioral psychology. If alarm klaxons went off every time you left a room without turning off the lights, you'd quickly learn to always turn them off, and save energy through better habits. More realistically, many software tools that involve long complicated procedures (such as TurboTax or many install wizards) will give users a "Congratulations!" at the end to make them feel better about having gone through the process.
- Liking / attractiveness. Attractive people don't need interesting personalities to convince others to want to hang around them; likewise, attractive products don't have to perform that well for people to want to use them. This has been the cause of decades of frivolous garbage in the ID world, but it can also be leveraged to promote sustainable products. One of the reasons the second-generation green wave is stronger than the first is that it is aesthetically slick and polished instead of feeling outdated or like a sacrifice (think efficient, exciting tools and gadgets -- not hairshirts). Many green products have become aspirational, rather than embarrassments.
- Reciprocity. One of the most fundamental and universal human values is that if you do something nice for me, I should do something nice for you. A product that performs better for a user can get the user to do more for it (perhaps maintenance and upgrades, or data collection, or other environmentally beneficial actions). This can be used to extend product life or change user habits.
- Nagging. Gentle but persistent, reminders to take a certain action can be very effective. Nearly all shareware software uses nagging to get users to pay for it. However, nagging can get annoying rapidly, so it is important not to overuse.
- Modeling a behavior / attitude. Seeing someone else behave a certain way, or propound a certain outlook, can convince people to behave or think that way. This is by far the most effective with social actors whom users are attracted to or identify with (including aspirational attraction and identification). Countless nonprofits and political activist groups use technology such as email, websites, twitter, and text messages to leverage the modeling actions and attitudes of a few influential people to convince others to write their senators, vote a certain way or boycott certain products.
- Social support. People are more confident and comfortable behaving or thinking in ways that they know are shared by others. People regularly work out the bugs in their own pursuits by asking questions or having discussions within their communities. Every application with "Web 2.0" functionality--WiserEarth, Ask Nature, even this news site--leverages real people's social support by connecting them together.
Levels & Locations of Persuasion
Persuasion can happen on different levels, as well. Fogg divides things into two levels: "macrosuasion" and "microsuasion." Macrosuasion is when the sole purpose of the device or website or whatnot is to persuade you. (He uses the example of Quitnet, a website dedicated to helping people stop smoking.) But sometimes subtler persuasion can be even more effective. Microsuasion is when the persuasive feature is a small part of a larger product or software. (For instance, in Google Maps, you can click a button to get transit directions or walking directions, instead of driving directions. Originally Google Transit had its own separate page, but it is used and viewed by far more people as a button on an already-popular tool than it ever was or would be as a separate site. As a result, it persuades more people to take public transit even though it's a less dominant tool.)
Persuasive design in mobile devices can be especially powerful, because it can present you with exactly the right information or suggestion at exactly the right time and place for it to be most relevant and actionable. For instance, the transit function in Google Maps on the iPhone lets you find a bus route to your destination without you even having to know where you are, just using the phone's built-in GPS to find you and tell you where the nearest or soonest bus will be. Armed with this knowledge, you know you don't have to drive or use a taxi to get back home reliably, and in the process of using it you start to learn the local transit lines most relevant to you, so eventually you won't even need the tool for common trips.
Persuasive Design for Sustainability
Persuasive design can be an extremely powerful tool in the green designer's tool belt. It shouldn't be the only tool, certainly, but it can do things impossible for engineering, and can also complement green engineering that requires new habits or heightened awareness from the user. Persuasive technology isn't inherently green -- in fact, we are already living in a world with design biases that push our behavior towards over-consumption, irresponsibility and shortsightedness. We need to short circuit those existing persuasions, and steer users in the right direction. Knowing how objects persuade can help us do this, and using persuasive strategies can encourage more sustainable user habits in everything from building design to transportation design, from computers to coffee makers to clothing.
One last thing to consider about persuasive design is the ethics of the tactics you use, and the agendas which your persuasion promotes. Use your super-powers only for good. There can be a fine line between making things convenient and making things constrictive, or between educating the user with knowledge and manipulating them with propaganda. In our efforts to create a brighter, greener future, we have to remember the means are as important as the ends, because by the definition of sustainable design, better means are the ends we seek.
A terrific post for its comprehensiveness. I think it's important to remember that some of these are not new, if only to point out that in many cases these persuasive tools are not recognised by the very people who have been making engineering or design decisions over the years.
For example, designing cities and associated infrastructure for cars while ignoring people is something engineers are good at - but we (I have been guilty of this) don't realise the persuasiveness of what we do, how it leads inexorably to unliveable spaces unless we are deliberate about our decisions. We think we are being neutral and just meeting demand, yet we fundamentally shape demand. Thanks for reminding me.
This is a very interesting topic. As a brand strategist and graphic designer I know the power of communication. This not only applies to the user interface and how we interact with technology, but the whole package that supports the product. Telling the backstory as mentioned in the article is a powerful element and relates the emotional appeal of the brand. It can mean the difference between deciding on two similar products.
Google understands this and so do most successful companies based in technology. But what about those companies out there that are looking to change the world on a shoe string budget. With the right designer in place and using these methods of persuasive design it could have a more powerful impact. I think one of the keys to success of sustainable design is matching the right designers with the right products.
Jer, thanks for this. Persuasive Technology has been on my shelf for several years, but I haven't looked at it in ages - will revisit. It's important for us to understand how to persuade, and also to understand when someone is trying to persuade us about something, and how and why.
Giving something a name often serves to make it real for people. In that respect, this sounds like a very positive development. The second-to-last paragraph contains some very important information, though -- the fact that we are currently having our behavior shaped in the opposite direction on a near continual basis. Pointing this out may help people to escape from the power of the influences. It's always a good exercise to analyze the what and the why -- like pointing out to children (or adults for that matter) that stores and malls have been designed to sell them things they do not want and make it a game to emerge with only the thing sought.
Architects are very familiar with this concept. Again, not by this name. Periodically throughout history, the ability of architecture/design to be an agent of social change has been embraced and then rejected. One of the reasons it goes through fallow periods is that it can be difficult to aim (or control enough of the environment) to change the world for the better. Things can backfire. Unintended consequences accumulate.
That said, we should all be using this lens to interpret, and recreate, our world every day. Make it a habit to look at your world with innocent eyes and see the way its forms warp your/our behavior.
Very interesting!

I'm glad that people are finally learning or remmebering that usability is comprised of and defined by three components (Behavioral, Cognitive, and Emotional aspects). By doing so, current practitioners are now rediscovering that these three components make up what we are now calling "user Experience". Old timers like myself have never needed that term since Usability was always operationally defined by the methods used to measure the analysis, design and evaluation of those three components. It's interesting that many are also "discovering" a new "Science of Persuation" which to old timers like me has always existed under the rubric of Social & Cognitive Psychology, and Learning & Behavioral Change. Radical Behaviorism (i.e. Skinnerian) has always taught that behavior is under the control of the environment so that to control or change one's behavior one needs to redesign or arrange the environment to engender it. If we review the classic work of Bandura's Social learning theory, for example,we will discover that modeling behavior involves a lot more than a simple notion of "Monkey see, monkee do", or we do something simply because everyone else is doing it. I think many of us need to re-learn, review, or simply consult our already existing Science of Psychology instead of renaming it with terms such as "User Experience","Behavioral Advertising", or "The Science of Persuasion". But again, I'm just a old player in this field and I don't believe in fixing things that are not broken, or implementing change simple for the sake of change.
Great post, I will use these concepts in thinking about the world of stuff. Missing from this list is a principle of repairability. Repairability should be a criteria or at least a filter for evaluating green and sustainable stuff.

nixon5 reviewed Fresh NailsSome of the staff is friendly. Customer service and entitlements to poor results - zero. Expect to lose money if you're not happy with the result or end up walking out worse than when you entered in. - I walked in there asking for a service and wasn't happy with the result. I noticed that other customers asking for the same service had received a quality result. Mine wasn't (lash extensions, they were sparse, clumps of my lashes were twisted and matted into the extension rather than individual extension per lash and they were corked) I asked for it to be removed (which I found to be very very painful) and I was left with glue residue and irritation and my lashes were cut short and uneven with chunks of glue matted into it. Upon requesting a partial refund (I asked for partial as I understand that the materials used needed to be paid for) I was declined and was told that they never do refunds.
Also would like to add- they told me he lash technician has had at least 10 yrs experience and many clients... So I was disappointed at how clumpy, thin and sparse my extensions looked due to poor technique. I asked for other opinions and they agreed. As a result of my experience I have slight l burns around my eye area due to poor technique of removal and hopefully my lashes can be aesthetically salvaged until full regrowth from a more legit lash technician (and the remainder of the matted glue removed)

Saturday was the 9th Annual Tour de Lincoln (CA). There are 10, 20, 40 and 63 mile rides. About 800 riders showed up for the ride that benefits the local Volunteer Center. Our club is the "host" and sets the route. I invited my son-in-law, Erik, to come up. Of course, he brought my daughter and new grandson with him (they didn't ride).
We rode to the start from my house in shirtsleeves at 7:00am. Love California weather. We met up with some of my club members and rode out at 7:30. This is Erik and Me before we started.
After 7-8 miles of relative flat, we start a gradual, 4-mile climb, just steep enough to slow me down a bit. Here's Erik desperately trying to keep up with me
Last week, I chugged up this section pretty fast, but held back today because I knew what was coming. I think some of my buddies had the same idea as there were still about 10 of us riding together.
Once at the top, we get a velvet smooth 1/2 mile downhill. It's one of those roads you wish could go on forever. But, alas, it ends, and a right turn (was there a stop sign there?) finds us again climbing a moderate hill, about 3 1/2 miles long. It's not a bad hill, and we all stay together. One thing about this route is that there are many ups and downs. More steeply uphills follow, then a screaming, yet bumpy downhill. I warn Erik about the very sharp turn about halfway down, but he loves him some downhill and he takes off. I have been down this hill many, many times. For the first time ever, there is a dog loose, a border collie, just waiting in the weeds (literally) and trying to herd each one of us into a group as we go by. We all make it past. However, we later see a rider who went down. Road rash from his hip to his ankle and an 8" square out of his shorts.
Next, it's back up a 2-mile climb, mostly moderate, but a couple of 14-16% sections just to test us. Some joker had gone out the night before and painted over our directional arrows in several spots.
After the first rest stop, we start up a steep, narrow one-mile climb. We are in a group of maybe 25 riders, pretty well spread out over the road. Then, two cars are coming down the hill, and two are coming up. It was a real traffic jam. But ya know what? The drivers were VERY patient and nice, giving us encouragement ("You're almost to the top!") and waving at each other. The riders did everything they could to get out of the way.
At mile 28, we hit Baxter Grade, "grade" being the operative word. My leg is hurting, but I know how to pace myself on this hill (10-12% for 2 miles). AND, I know there is a kick-a** section with a smooth, re-paved downhill coming up. Here we are climbing Baxter. Note the riders way up the hill.
And here's just another shot after we get down into flatter land. Just before this, I was feelin' good and moving well down a long incline. I look in my mirror and there are at least 7 guys right behind me. There is no way anyone could go any faster than I was! Just then, Erik whips by (dumb kids, anyway). "Hey, Tom, you're supposed to get behind him!" "I AM behind him . . . 'way behind him."
And here we are out of the foothills and into the country side. The group had thinned by this time.
One more hill. At mile 43 we labor up Forbes. The weather has warmed up, but it's quite comfortable. My leg is really slowing me down, but I make up time on the downhills. That's what weighing 200 lbs will do for you. Ah, gravity.
Oh yeah, then there's that one last bump, just a few yards long, really. BUT I HATE IT! It's steep and bumpy, but it means it's all downhill or flat from here, 12 miles of relative ease. My friend Bob and I stop to make an adjustment to his new S-Works and then catch up with Erik and a small group of riders. It was somewhere about here I announced that I had just ridden my age (62) but no one was impressed, since we're all 60+ and ride our ages about once a week. Two tandems swoosh by and we move out with them and hang on all the way to the BBQ.
Final stats: 66.31 miles (from home). 3700 feet of climbing. 14.1 avg speed (pretty good for me on such a hilly route). I had ridden 50 miles the day before and rode 50 miles the day after and am riding again tomorrow. I'll rest my leg later.

In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, increasing pressure from corporate boards and senior leadership, investors, shareholders and regulators has elevated Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to a 'corporate imperative' status. The consequences of failing to see through systemic issues and test the long term viabilities of corporate strategies is now well understood. Also exposed were the inadequacies of regulatory structures, which previously may have proliferated a box ticking mindset to risk management. Regulators have taken some steps at ensuring that an integrated risk assessment and a proactive approach to risk oversight are central to sustainable growth.
It would probably be fair to state that the global financial crisis has brought the discipline of Risk Management into the limelight. The regulatory framework for Risk Management and oversight has undergone a major overhaul in several countries. As organisations around the world are coming to grips with specific guidelines such as the Board's oversight of Risk Management practices, linkage of executive compensation with risk, additional disclosures on Risk Management, etc., it is important to step back and ask the simple but pertinent questions about Risk Management:
Developing, deploying and maintaining a practical, holistic risk management approach can help organisations lead through immediate, long–term, and evolving risks and succeed in the new business environment.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is an organisation-wide approach to the identification, assessment, communication and management of risks in a cost-effective manner. Some benefits of ERM include:

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I had the same problem with my 72 ford F100. It turned out that the way they put the alternator on, the wires on the back of it were grounding out on the engine. Maybe you are having the same problem. Good luck!

So, this is the place to introduce myself.......
Hello, I'm Tequilabong.........Yes, I really enjoy Tequila, and yes, I really enjoy............getting creative.
I've been involved with BW for about 34 years......My first film I processed was Verichrome Pan.....126 I believe.......And it's been quite a journey since. The nice thing I've found....BW really hasn't changed.....Sure, T-films, a few new developers, papers.....but the guts are the same. That is one of the reasons I'm a BW supporter. And if anyone wants to start a petition that will prohibit Wedding/Portrait Photographers from calling digital conversions "black and white" line me up. To me it is almost a lie....I think we all know what I mean. And quite a disservice to traditional BW photographers.
Anyway, I've specialized in Fine Art BW portraiture for some time now, most known for doing Mom's and newborns, with a touch of hand coloring. (other hand colorists, let me know).... Some commercial stuff for agencies, a little landscape, some product stuff, (ok, that is color) and lots of architectural shoots. But my love and heart is in the darkroom. Most always print Fiber for clients, and do the usual selenium and or sepia toning. Drymount, Cut my mats, do my own framing, etc
Process usually with a Jobo CPP2, (have just acquired an ATL 1500), use a Durst M70 Vario enlarger, but also have recently picked up two Beseler 45MX's with Color heads, and Omega B8, and another Durst M70 with color head......It sure is a great time to get deals on darkroom stuff.....
One thing I've never attempted is Lith Printing. I see lots of folks love it. I'm still not sure what it is?? Or what it does??
99% of my work is MF, using Pentax 645 for location, and RZ67 for studio....(pertaining to people). I just recently picked up a 4x5 sinar F with a few lenses, so I"m going big for my landscapes.....
Is this enough info?
This site is great!!

Otep, the L.A.-based metal fusion quartet led by singer/poet/self-described "mental pugilist" Otep Shamaya, released in 2002 one of the densest, most disturbing debut albums in the history of metal with Sevas Tra. It was a fiery confessional wherein Shamaya screamed about being raped by her father against a searing sonic backdrop of eerie minor guitar chords and fist-pounding rhythms. The followup, House of Secrets, lacked the LSD-laced-exorcism feel of its predecessor but still packed plenty of vocal intensity and dark poetics. But Otep's third album, The Ascension, is definitely its best yet, and easily one of the best records of the year so far. The hard-edged metal mashups explode with primal screams, battering-ram rhythms, and vocal vitriol, from the politically charged rap-metal of "Confrontation" to the lovesick anorexic anthem "Milk of Regret," to the face-peeling fury of "Crooked Spoons." However it's the songs where Shamaya's screaming less and singing more that really stand out, like "Noose and Nail," where her sick and sultry voice wraps itself around lines like "Jesus needs his prescriptions filled/Buddha's using too many pills/Allah promises endless thrills/In volatile bottles marked RELIGION KILLS." Then there's "Perfectly Flawed," a beautiful self-affirmation ballad decorated with piano and bells that sounds like the band's first real shot at a hit, despite the morbid undercurrent of someone talking themselves out of suicide. The first single, "Ghostflowers," boasts a catchy, exotic-sounding guitar riff and some badass bridges where bass player Evil J's five-string bass sounds super fat and funky. For all its eclectic elements and genre-mating, The Ascension flows like a smooth ride on a raw nerve, and there's not a bad track here.

The biggest mistake human can make is underestimating herself/ himself. And the biggest barrier to empowering women is that, the unbelievably empowered creatures on earth can't see or feel their power. How heartbreaking!!! You would never underestimate the power to produce, would you? Ladies, think of a world without us. Can you see any future? Well I can see. The future is the end of the mankind. There can never be mankind without women. I have seen women being tortured by their husbands. I knew someone who had to go through this torturous situation when she was pregnant. In spite of her pregnancy, that monster didn't spare her. But when I asked her why don't you leave him, you know what she said? She told "where else should I go? Who will take care of my baby?" I can't believe, this girl was depending on someone with her child, who didn't care at all for his unborn baby. He didn't even think that after being beaten up so badly, the baby in the womb can get hurt or even miscarried. The woman I'm talking about used to work at our place. She used to earn enough to take care of her needs. She was always a smiling face to me. Whenever I used to look at her I felt good. But after she got married, she looked horrifying. I asked her about it. But she always used to change the topic or make fun of my question. I thought maybe I was wrong. But when I saw the marks on her hands and face, I understood things were much worse than I thought. I feel bad for her. She didn't even let us complain to the police. I don't understand what she thinks of this bastard. He is the king of the world!! He has got all the power to ruin someone's life winking an eye!! And what she thinks of herself?? A powerless creature, which has to survive with the help and kindness of that man? I have never supported separation. But I can never support abuse as well. The only reason I couldn't help her was she never could gather enough courage to stand for herself. She underestimated her power as a human. It is essential for all of us to understand our importance. God needs both men and women to continue His creation. So please, stop underestimating yourselves.
Dear Samia,
Thank you for writing this and drawing our attention to what is, truly, a heartbreaking epidemic of women not realizing their power. Your post makes me question what it is in some women who have been in abusive relationships that allows them to recognize their value and stop underestimating themselves. Why do some finally leave and some stay? What breaks the cycle? Knowing that we are not alone with our suffering surely helps...understanding that we don't have to live in isolation and shame, that we aren't "defective," that others love and care for us just as we are.
We can't give up on each other. We must continue to stay involved and available to our friends who are being abused and let them know we care. You must be so saddened and frustrated seeing your friend continue to subject herself to this torturous relationship, helpless to save her. Yet the concern and kindness you have shown her are a life-line to her and it is possible that she will gather strength from the power of this love to finally make a break, difficult as that may be.
I have a friend who mustered up this courage after more than 20 years of abuse and is finally doing the work of discovering who she is and what she wants. She is de-toxing. Coming to life. It is truly inspiring to witness. We must never give up on each other!
Thank you for fighting for your sisters' freedom and encouraging us all to come into our power as human beings. May we all recognize ourselves to be the "unbelievably empowered creatures" we are!
With love,

Hey Susan,
Thanks for trying to understand my point. :)
I believe, one of the main reasons why women in abusive relationships, not understanding their values is, they do not educate themselves. By educating I mean they don't communicate with other ladies and learn how they got over their abusers. For example, if you want to do a new thing, you got to know how to do it. You may need to have someone as a role model in front of you. So communication is essential. But again, these ladies need to have enough options to communicate with others. I know there are families, who restrict women from meeting unknown people. Here comes determination. If anyone is abused, it's an unconditional requirement of having the determination to get rid of the abuse. The motto is "help yourself, you will be helped by others". The first step to get rid of the situation has to be taken by the person who is being abused. God has given this life to live, not to suffer. These ladies need to realize this.
Thanks again... Samia
Life is good. Its up to you to make it better.
Hi Samia,
Thanks for your reply. I agree that communication is essential and having opportunities to learn from each other. Unfortunately so many women who are abused live in such isolation and are too ashamed to share themselves with others. This is one of the things that makes World Pulse so great (for women who have access to the internet). They can read accounts from others who have escaped the prison of their abusive relationship and found freedom and be inspired to do likewise. I also agree that the self-love and determination must come from within, but of course it helps an awful lot to have others reach out to us and show us they care.
Peace, Susan
