There are plenty of people who have GSDs as service dogs. They're very well suited to the task when the right temperament is matched for the job.
Yes, you can find a plush coat but as far as the dog, focus more on temperament. You can let the breeder know your coat preference but a good breed, as the one Jane recommended, is going to focus on temperament above all else. Be open and honest with the breeder you choose as to your experience and needs. Chances are they'll help you either find an adult dog to work with training or they'll have an older puppy they think will work for your needs.
Far as prey drive, each dog is different. My female has zero prey drive. None. My male is about medium. As far as training, again, each dog is different. Most are incredibly easy to train. Just have to find what drives them *food, toys, praise, etc*.
This is a breed that is meant to work. They like to work. They need and enjoy having a job to do.

I'll admit it, I used to be a Bill Simmons fan, but at some point the over-the-top Boston love got to be too much.
I was rooting for Detroit to bring Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon off the bench this season, just so I could make the "any time you can pay $94 million and lock up your cap space for two bench guys, you gotta do it" joke. But the Pistons foiled me by starting Villanueva. Still, they dumped Chauncey Billups and effectively tanked last season for cap flexibility; now that flexibility is gone, only they look like a mortal lock for the lottery. (You realize their "big men" are The Artist Formely Known As Ben Wallace, Kwame Brown, Villanueva and Chris Wilcox, right?) And this was a good plan … how? Some day you'll have to explain this whole "Joe Dumars is a good GM" thing to me.Then Simmons sides with Allen Iverson after last year's debacle of a season.
I remain an Iverson fan. He's my No. 1 choice for a magazine feature. I thought he got a raw deal in Detroit.We've already discussed this story ad nauseam, but I don't see how anyone thinks Iverson didn't bring last season's misery on himself. The amount of attention Iverson received as a free agent says it all.
Simmons' final shot comes in his projected 2009-10 standings. Simmons picks the Pistons to finish an awful 31-51, behind the Knicks and Bobcats in the Eastern Conference. That's rough, almost as rough as Simmons' cliché pop culture-laced humor and homer-fueled analysis that pervade his every column.

Archived Story
Church News for Thursday, Jan. 17By Emily Beckett Published 9:32am Thursday, January 17, 2013
Bethsalem Baptist Church
Bro. Cleve Mallory opened our day of worship by welcoming everyone and giving ministry opportunities. The Call to Worship music was "I Stand Amazed in the Presence." Praise songs: "There Is None Like You," "You Are My All," "In Christ Alone" and "The Solid Rock." The Celebration Choir sang "Cross of Love."
Our message was by Bro. Phil and came from Isaiah 1:18: "Come Down, Come Forth, Come Up, Be Justified."
We observed the Lord's Supper. It was a great service.
In the evening service, Bro. Phil preached from Ephesians 4:20-27 about giving place to the devil. Strive to be more like Jesus.
Wednesday family supper at 5:30 p.m., adult prayer meeting at 6:30 p.m., children's choir and The Outlet for students.
Pray For Lilliana Thompson, Hunter Moore, the Crawford family, Elridge Townsend, Juana Wright, Ellen Seals, Stacy Cooper, Brent Wright, Mack and Donna Tillery, Harold Pierce, Wesley Lamont, J.T. Glasscock, Frankie Smith, Tanner Horton's father, Brian Neal, Chad Nix, Gerald Stamps, Greyson Wilmont, Jack Honnacker, Libby Ousley, Erica Smith, Charles and Gladys Bryant, our church committee as they search for a new pastor, our homebound, those in nursing homes and all who are facing cancer. Remember those who lost loved ones, the family of Diane Latham, the family of Randy Wells and the family of Homer Robinson.
Happy Birthday this week to Dylan Carroll, Sarah Griner, Scott Wesson, Josh Taylor, Cullen McConnell, Emma Merrill, Deb Taylor, Kimberly Brogden, Donna Johnson, Anna Thompson, Allen Williams, Joyce Leonard, Hillary Horton, Joanha Cobb, Brad Stange, Nate Jones, Jonathan Chandler, Cody Barber, Addison Polk and Ray Moore.
Come and worship with us on Sunday. May God bless.
Samaria Baptist Church
Our special music was sung by Floyd Collins. He sang "The Next Time He Comes," and did a wonderful job. Our prayer concerns today continue to be with Terry Sparks' family in his passing, the James Moates family, Lashelle Harris, as she has surgery this week, Glenn Baker, recovering from bypass surgery, Ray Hardee and Lois and Bob Schultz. We are so happy to have Lucille Johnson back after her bout with the flu. Let us remember Ashley Shearon as she begins her education endeavor at the University of South Alabama in Mobile.
Christian revelation owes nothing to human wisdom. Bro. Charles text came from 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. The Apostle Paul never thought of himself as being intelligent, even though he was very smart. He gave God all the glory for the progress he made in his work for the advancement of Jesus Christ. Paul spoke in the name of Jesus Christ and emphasized that we can change our minds about things, but only Christ can change our hearts. Salvation is a gift from God. Nothing we can do, other than surrender to him, will result in our souls being saved.
Our national and government leaders believe that they have the answers through legislation and fighting on Capitol Hill, but until they are open to the leadership of an almighty God, they will lead our nation in the wrong direction. Let us pray for our government leaders today, as we know that this is the only way to bring our nation back to God. May you have a wonderful week, and please know that you are always welcome here at Samaria.
Bethany Baptist Church
The book of Micah was the source of Bro. Steve's messages on Sunday. Micah was a prophet during the time of Isaiah and King Hezekiah. The word of God is constantly rejected today, and it was no different in the days of Micah. Micah described the condition of the whole nation as being covetous and not willing to hear the true word of God. He also accused the leaders and the prophets of loving evil and causing spiritual darkness. Micah promises judgment, but he also promises hope.
The Prince of Peace, Jesus, will come and set up his millennium kingdom on this earth. This will be a wonderful time of peace on the earth. People will walk in the name of the Lord and there will be no war at all.
On Sunday night, Bro. Steve continued in the book of Micah. In chapter 6, Micah issued a challenge to the people: "What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" We should do what is right, not hurt people's person, character or property. When we love mercy, we will show kindness and benevolence to others. When we walk humbly with our God, we strive to live in constant fellowship with him and acknowledge our dependence on him.
Prayer list: Betty Biggs, James Bixler, Ada Church, Doris and Verdie Glenn, Hubert Griffin, Mildred Griffin, Laverne and Dick Hayes, Journey Mission in Calera, Billie Neeley and Lillianna Thompson.
See you Sunday!

One Response to "davideinhorngreenlight"
Thanks for your concepts. One thing I've noticed is that banks and also financial institutions know the spending behavior of consumers and understand that most people max outside their cards around the holidays. They smartly take advantage of this specific fact and begin flooding your inbox as well as snail-mail box along with hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers soon after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that in case you are like 98% of American general public, you'll get at the opportunity to consolidate financial debt and switch balances to 0 rate credit cards.

I can't figure out the behaviour that I'm seeing as a result of using wp_insert_category and wp_insert_term.
If I use wp_insert_category with a defined slug, I'm having the parent categories slugs automatically appended to them. If I use wp_insert_term, I get the appropriate category slug, but it's not assigning it to the right parent (or any for that matter).
I'm losing my mind.
$cid = get_term_by( 'slug', $slug, 'category' )->term_id;
if ( is_null( $cid ) )
$cid = wp_insert_category( array( 'cat_name' => $name, 'category_nicename' => $slug, 'category_parent' => $parent ) );
// $cid = wp_insert_term( $name, 'category', array( 'alias_of' => $name, 'description' => '', 'parent' => $parent, 'slug' => $slug ) );
return $cid;
The above is the meat of the function. All variables are set, I've double checked them all. $parent is explicitly typed as an integer.
The categories being inserted have two ancestors and I thought maybe this was a default behavior for that level of nesting, so I tested it. I wrote a loop that nested categories one under another using the last as the parent, and they all inserted with their own unique slug.
I don't want the parent categories to append their slug to my children. I won't have it in my household. So what should I try doing?

Is there a bill that can be passed that makes it so when information is released, all of it is shown? Or do you think that is impossible because of how much bad, shady things the government is doing for that to happen?


text: Good acoustics play an important role in the effectiveness of instructional spaces. Classrooms with excessive noise reverberation make it difficult for students to understand what is being taught. Children with learning disabilities have a far more difficult time paying attention to their teacher, which is neither good for the student or the rest of the class.Recently, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) along with representatives form the acoustics industry issued the paper "Position Statement and Guidelines for Acoustics in Educational Settings". Outlined in the paper are a number of suggested guidelines concerning maximum ambient background noise and a suggested Reverberation Time (RT 60) of .5 seconds( in the speech intelligibility range), in the classroom.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Using Solicitors to Attract Clients Rule 206(4)-3 under the Investment Advisors Act establishes requirements governing cash payments to solicitors. The rule permits payment of cash referral fees to individuals and companies recommending clients to an RIA, but requires four conditions are first satisfied.
- RIAs and Customer Identification Just as RIAs owe a duty to diligently protect their clients privacy and guard against theft, firms also play a vital role in customer identification. Although RIAs are not subject to an anti-money laundering rule, securities regulators expect advisors to address these issues in their policies and procedures.
Most advisors use Windows-based machines in their offices to do everything from customer relationship management to financial planning, but two recent announcements by partners to advisors show that Apple is gaining a presence among advisors beyond placing AAPL into client portfolios.
MFS Investment Management said it has launched a iPad application for use by its U.S. wholesalers while its website, mfs.com, has been optimized to work with iPads and iPhones.
Like other mutual fund wholesalers, MFS' wholesalers can now share documents and build presentations on iPads with advisors away from their desktop machines, and link to third-party analytics to perform due diligence on MFS mutual funds.
Laserfiche, the international document management software firm, now offers its Laserfiche Mobile users the ability to use an iPhone's onboard camera (or an iPad's, for that matter, though fewer iPad owners use its camera) to take photographs of documents. Those photographed documents are converted into images that are securely placed into the advisor or broker-dealer's document repository in the same way that an iPhone user would email a photo.
Once in the repository, an advisor can use Laserfiche Mobile for iPad to view that photographed document immediately, or have other authorized LaserFiche users view that document. Then, using Laserfiche Mobile's Document Viewer, the advisor or compliance officer can email, print or rename the document, all while using an interface familiar to iPhone users.
The process, as demonstrated by Laserfiche engineer Brett Hickinbotham in an interview Monday in New York, shows how simple and intuitive Laserfiche has made the process of uploading and managing documents using an iPhone and iPad.

Before the apocalypse, Marley wanted to be an Electrician of sorts. Whenever his elementary school had experiments pertaining to wiring or circuit boards, he was all for it. As a matter of fact, he's proficient in several areas of the mechanical and electrical repair business. He worked at his local computer repair shop, and has also rewired several cars and other vehicles before under his father's guidance at his auto shop. Unfortunately, the apocalypse came and his parents happened to be in an overly-crowded grocery store at the time. Long story short, they aren't around anymore. He was an only child, and tended to hole up in his room a lot. Now, however, he's doing whatever he can to keep himself alive while focusing on his strong points and using them to his defense.

+ Was quite the nerd before the apocalypse, regularly played video games when he wasn't messing with things he shouldn't have
+ Once he caused a week-long power outage in his hometown
+ Prefers to kick a Zombie's knee to take it down, then either bash it's head in with the nail-filled side of his bat or to shoot it
RP Methods:

Delavan man gets probation for burglary charges
February 13, 2014
ELKHORN — A man who was linked to three area burglaries through DNA evidence was sentenced on Feb. 7 to probation.
Anthony J. Chiapusio, 26, 5113 Highway 50, Delavan, pleaded guilty to one count of burglary. Two additional felony burglary charges were dismissed and read into the record.
The DNA evidence linked Chiapusio to burglaries that occurred in 2010 and 2011. When he was arrested for those burglaries, Chiapusio was on probation for other burglaries.
In 2012, Chiapusio was convicted of three counts of felony burglary, one count of burglary while arming himself with a dangerous weapon and one count of fleeing.
Chiapusio was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to serve one year in the county jail with work-release privileges.
His sentence on Feb. 7, included four years of probation. A six month jail sentence was stayed, which means he will only serve the sentence if he violates the terms of his probation.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Jan. 23, 2010, police investigated a burglary in the town of Darien. On the scene, police found a cigarette butt that didn't belong to the owners.
On Oct. 26, 2011, a town of Whitewater home was burglarized. A television and a blue ray player had been reported stolen.
An alcohol bottle was found on the scene, which police collected as evidence.
On Aug. 26, 2011, police investigated a burglary in the town of Linn.
The homeowner reported that three televisions, a bow, arrows and other items had been stolen.
It was apparent in the home that someone had used the rest room, and police collected a DNA sample from the bathroom.
The state crime lab reviewed the three DNA samples, and the samples matched Chiapusio's DNA.

Très belle monture, je les aimes beaucoup :))
Love them. Make me feel beautiful. So well made.
J'ai très apprécié l'accueil au petit kiosque, à Montréal et le service impeccable. Et merci pour la rapidité de l'expédition. J'espère que d'autres succursales s'ouvriront près de Québec . Je reviendrai Daniele
Beautful, but just a tiny bit too small for my face. So. Sad. Please make other glasses in this color! Or make these bigger, lol.
So fun! The pink is much more vivid than it looks in the picture (more like a hot pink than a baby pink.
J'aime beaucoup!
These are adorable and unique looking.
When they say "small," they mean small! I've got a small head, and these are a wee bit too tight. Super cute, but too tight.
J'adore mes lunettes ! Original , tous les gens que je côtoie sont unanimes elles sont parfaite pour moi !
Tellement stylée! Ils sont devenus mes préférés de toutes!
I have both the Chatty Cathy frames in Black Tie Tweed and Hip Tortoise. They are BOTH my absolute FAVORITE frames to wear, being that I have a very long narrow face. It is extremely hard for me to find frames that are not too wide and too low (lens depth wise) on my face and these are perfect! The tortoise version allows me to have a Hemingway look, and the Black Tie Tweed color allows me to have a style similar to a Wayfarer frame, but not having the trouble of the frame being to wide (which that style always is!) I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE it if Bonlook came out with more colors of this frame (rose, gradient) only because "small" frames are even hard to find on Bonlook's site. I would buy them in a heartbeat! I love Bonlook's sturdy, unique frames! Highly recommend! (Just a note on the Black Tie Tweed color: it is more black than the black and white mix - I was afraid it would appear more gray because of all the white flecks - but it's definitely mostly black, which is exactly what I wanted!)
These are awesome! I have a hard time finding glasses for my small face, but these are perfect. And super fast delivery.
J'adore mes nouvelles lunettes de BONLOOK. La livraison a été rapide. Le produit identique à la monture sélectionnée. Le verre est d'une qualité hors pair. Cest certain que je vais répéter mon expérience avec BONLOOK. BRAVO!!
Service excellent ! Merci :)
The frames are smaller than they looked in the virtual try-on, but they are very nice and fit well. I will be keeping them.
I got these in hip tortoise and love them.
I suppose there's an element of these glasses that is tacky. It's a lot of color and busy-ness. I was thinking they'd be fun to try on and very unlikely to be a good fit for me. But they're now my favorite pair, and I've had way more compliments on them than I would've thought since it's such a bold statement piece. Really makes me feel cool, fun, funky and bright. I LOVE these!
Love these specks! I have a smaller heart-shaped face and these fit perfectly. Years of getting glasses through optometrists with outdated styles and overpriced rates make me love these affordable and fabulous frames even more :)
They're nice, but they don't look good on me, unfortunately. They're a little too heavy for my face. If only I had a face like the models!
Love the frames!
These are beautiful! They look just like they did online. They are also very sturdy and are very comfortable! I am extremely happy with them.
Perfect fit for my face. Love the color too
Very happy! Will order from you again
I've always had my frames too big, so decided to go with a "small" size. Not too wide, but they don't look small and silly. Have already gotten so many compliments and I really like the looks of them! Plus, I can see great out of them (the prescription worked out just fine, even though I had to measure my own PD). I think I'll get the bows adjusted a bit and then bam- these glasses rock. Oh, did I mention the price- under $200?!?!? Yes, please.
I am completely in love with these frames! I have been waiting for three years to be able to get new frames to replace my broken thin wire frames I have had and was in a crazy goose chase to find the perfect pair for my super small face. I bought them on a whim during a 48hr sale and not only were they way below my budget but they FIT. I am stunned. It's so hard to find frames that fit my small face that don't cost a fortune and these fit like a dream and were way within my budget. I will most definitely be purchasing from you all again. These frames are all I could have dreamed of!
I am very happy with my Bon Look glasses....I was a little skeptical of the Chatty Cathy frames for me, but I really like them and have received a lot of complements on the look...
I love my new glasses! They are so very different from my usual tiny rectangle frames. I'm getting compliments left and right.
This frame is unique and stylish and the frame fit was perfect.
The colors are divine! The frames a smaller and square but look slightly better on the models than on me. I think it's because I have high cheeks so these frames make my face look slightly rounder. I'm still giving them five stars because these are gorgeous.

Year Ahead
LinkedIn has become an integral part of the government landscape because of its ability to help people connect, bond through like-minded communities of interest and manage ever-expanding personal networks. But the use of LinkedIn has not been a smooth road in the business-to-government community.
LinkedIn began in May 2003, nearly a year before Facebook, but was largely ignored by our market for several years until some critical mass occurred. Around mid-2008, more contractors were finding their way onto LinkedIn, but the feds were still not there. In part, that was due to the restrictions agencies had on employees' involvement in social networks and in part because there was not yet a significant reason to participate.
The first tipping point for B2G on LinkedIn occurred in late 2010 and early 2011. Reasons included the relaxation of social networking rules by federal agencies and the overall rise in the network's use by the B2G community. The buzz helped drive more people -- feds and contractors -- to the platform.
I have several hundred federal connections on LinkedIn, and I have monitored the activity level for a couple years. Recently I asked about 20 of my federal connections how they were using the platform.
Much of their activity is passive: watching rather than participating in group discussions, accepting connections but not often reaching out, having a profile but not always filling it out completely.
I am seeing some uptick in activity, and perhaps 2014 will be the second tipping point for LinkedIn in terms of feds not just joining but actively engaging.
Given the current restrictions on travel and event attendance, feds understand that they, too, need a way to connect with industry. LinkedIn provides an ideal platform to do so.
There are nearly 1.9 million groups on LinkedIn -- of those, 10,460 have something to do with government. Hundreds of groups deal with some aspect of government contracting. And then there are the various specialty groups, including those for virtually every professional association, tech topics, facilities, energy management, transportation -- all the areas where feds have some responsibility.
As feds become acclimated to LinkedIn, the comfort level will go up and the activity will occur. That is a win-win for feds and contractors.

Looking for success stories and exceptional change in federal IT? Meet the women and men who are making it happen.
In a new survey, federal leaders say they're making digital progress, but most also say they're merely updating old systems, not reinventing processes for the Digital Age.
The U.S. Customs and Immigration Services created new deputy CIO slot to help balance everyday IT operations and burgeoning DevOps, agile and cloud activities.
NIST is looking to increase trust in the technical underpinnings of encryption, by strengthening cryptographic random bit generators.
Steve Kelman applauds ASI Government for sharing valuable knowledge -- and notes that there are still plenty of other questions to answer.
In an op-ed for Business Insider, the GOP presidential candidate called for "the federal government must put its own house in order, prioritizing to reflect the urgency and importance of protecting key databases and communications."
"Convenience and accessibility has been prioritized over critical security practices," at OPM, according to a Dec. 23 alert distributed to cleared contractors by the Defense Security Service on behalf of DHS and the FBI.
The federal IT community truly is just that. Steve Kelman, Bill Arzt and Chris Dorobek remind us how much that can matter.
The former Federal Trade Commission chief technologist and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist will be advising federal CTO Megan Smith.
It is not that we do not want to participate it is that if you talk about your work or what you thinik sometimes get turned around as bad attitude, when you are only trying to make a difference in how things are handled in your business.
I'm just not seeing 2014 as a breakout year for active participation by federal employees and contractors on LinkedIn, although the goal of better government might well be served if that were to occur. Why not? Because most have not participated actively anywhere else, even in internal social networks with very low stakes, up to this point. My observation has been that learned helplessness, unspoken cultural norms within some agencies (see Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey for further insight) and the legacy of having operated in silos still overrides growing individual comfort and proficiency with social tools, even one such as LinkedIn that has so much potential to advance both individual and organizational agendas. Further, it seems unlikely that contractor workforces will be comfortable in participating much more than their federal partners. I look for incremental progress and very cautious participation again this year.

Bank stocks: Gains for some, losses for others
Mumbai: It was a mixed bag of trading for bank stocks Monday with some settling with gains while others ending with losses after online portal Cobrapost alleged that 23 public and private sector banks and insurance firms were running a money laundering racket by blatantly violating laws.
Shares of State Bank of India settled 0.39 percent up, while Indian Overseas Bank rose by 0.48 percent, Oriental Bank of Commerce (0.49 percent), Dena Bank (0.88 percent), Allahabad Bank (0.83 percent), Dhanlaxmi Bank (0.44 percent), Federal Bank (0.17 percent) and DCB Bank (0.54 percent).
In contrast, shares of Punjab National Bank fell by 1.04 percent, IDBI Bank (1.57 percent), Bank of Baroda (0.18 percent), Canara Bank (0.77 percent), Yes Bank (0.24 percent), Indian Bank (0.09 percent), Corporation Bank (0.20 percent) and Central Bank of India (0.29 percent).
Those named in the expose include SBI, LIC, Punjab National Bank (PNB), Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Reliance Life, Tata AIA, Yes Bank, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, IDBI Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Dena Bank, Corporation Bank, Allahabad Bank, Central Bank of India, Dhanlaxmi Bank, Federal Bank, DCB Bank and Birla Sun Life.
"In its continuing undercover operation, spanning several months, Cobrapost finds dozens and dozens of major public sector banks, and many more private banks, across the country are blatantly involved in money laundering, as are major insurers. In all, 23 banks and insurance companies have been exposed," the portal said in a release.
Cobrapost alleged that the financial sector entities offered to open bank accounts and lockers for customers without following Know Your Customer (KYC) norms, convert their black money into white and obtain fictitious PAN cards.
In the broader market, the BSE benchmark Sensex ended at 19,673.64, up 98 points.

They are largely scared to death of the president's health care program that will drive employer and worker costs higher and higher, while bringing government bureaucrats into the doctor/patient relationship more than ever before.
Smaller employers, the backbone of the American economy, know they are not likely to receive a waiver from the health plan requirements, something already granted by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to more than 1,400 companies, including McDonald's — companies that threatened to drop all employee health care coverage, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The president's and the Senate's application of Keynesian economics — more and more and more government stimulus (spending) — has fallen victim to anxiety about such spending, and massive new debt levels, never ending.
A McClatchy Newspapers-Marist poll released on June 27 noted only 37 percent of registered voters approve of the president's handling of the economy, his lowest rating ever. Voters disapprove of the president's handling of the federal budget deficit by two to one. At the same time, no major Republican candidate for president has yet caught fire with the voters.
Fed … take a break
The Federal Reserve's monetarist approach — the creation of massive amounts of new "money" to stimulate economic output — has been overwhelmed in some circles by longer-term inflation fears (including those preaching the ownership of gold), some major financial institutions which have greatly slowed lending and a general hesitancy on the part of borrowers to incur new debt.
The vast majority of forecasting economists are fearful that sluggish U.S. economic growth could lead the Fed to institute a third quantitative easing program, a fancy term to explain the creation of hundreds of billions of dollars in additional "money" to stimulate the economy. The current QE2 program of $600 billion in money creation to buy bonds ends this week. Fed critics would suggest that QE2 merely weakened the dollar and boosted inflation, resulting in higher oil and food costs for American consumers, while providing little in the way of economic stimulus.
Most forecasting economists would prefer to see the Fed move to the sidelines. The Fed could then make it clear that no major moves in monetary policy will be considered unless and until the administration and the Congress reach a viable agreement to increase the debt ceiling and take the first credible steps toward longer-term deficit containment.
The crossroads
This nation is approaching a crossroads. We can get a firm handle on future government spending and bring annual budget deficits back to affordable levels. Or we can continue on the current path to financial ruin, face another self-induced financial crisis and deal with the same external control and external finance issues now being faced by Greece, by Ireland, and by Portugal.
Just rambling.

Latin American Studies Conference features artist, social anthropologist
The artwork of Mexico's Nahua community will be explored during the keynote event of the second annual Latin American and Latino/a Studies Conference. Social anthropologist Dr. Martha García and Nahua artist Nicolás de Jesús will discuss "Representations of Migration in Nahua Art." The event is at 6 p.m. April 12 in 206 Bowen-Thompson
Student Union.
García is a professor at El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, Unidad Chetumal, Mexico, specializing in the fields of indigenous populations, public politics and migration. She has been investigating Nahua communities for more than a decade, analyzing the symbolic dimensions of migration experiences within the social system of Nahua communities as represented by indigenous artists.
De Jesús is an internationally recognized painter, printmaker, muralist and illustrator in the Nahua community. His work has been exhibited throughout Mexico, the United States, Japan and Europe. He is best known for his work on bark paper, and his themes of social injustice and collective memory. He is an active promoter of indigenous art and culture through numerous initiatives in Mexico and abroad. His artwork will be on display during the conference.
The conference itself is a one-day academic forum starting at 8:30 that morning in 201 Union. Undergraduate and graduate students will present their research or artistic work on Latin American and Latino/a studies, as well as in American culture studies and Canadian studies. The goal is to contribute to the understanding of the interdependencies, commonalities and differences across
the Americas.
The event is co-sponsored by the Ethnic Cultural Arts Program, the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship, the departments of History, Romance and Classical Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Political Science, and the American Culture Studies Program.
A full breakdown of the day's program can be found online.

A nice cup of tea? Think again!
Behind every seemingly innocuous cup of tea lies a tale of intrigue, stolen trade secrets and unscrupulous botany. Sarah Rose, author of For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History, will give a free reading at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Prout Chapel. BGSU is also hosting a tea with the author at 3 p.m. tomorrow (April 10) in the East Hall Lounge.
For All the Tea in China tells the story of Robert Fortune, a Scottish botanist, gardener, plant explorer—and industrial spy for one of the great acts of corporate espionage in history.

Al Noor dish, Lawndale, greater Los Angeles area
Great naan, lots of rice, and spicy hot as hell-well, almost! Al Noor, in the city of Lawndale, is a popular Pakistani establishment but for those who crave the relatively less spicy Indian cuisine, there is much to choose from the menu.
I went here as part of a huge group. We invaded the small family run eaterie and delighted in trying several dishes. Popular dishes include various paneer dishes (cheese), Chicken Tikki Marsala, and kabobs. For those who love creamy and spicy sauces over meats and rice, you will love the slop up the plate here!
Their mild dishes are on the spicy side. Beware!
Lunch time tends to be very busy. Dinner may be a better option for impatient ones.
Open from 11 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (closed on Monday)
Favorite Dish: palak paneer and garlic naan, rich and tasty
Address: 15112 Inglewood Ave
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Inglewood/Marine , close to 405 Fwy
Phone: 310-675-4700
Price: US$11-20
Rating: 4
Theme: Indian
Just a regular pizza place located at the mall (Del Amo, of course). Everytime I've come here, mamma-or whoever it may be behind the counter - always comes through with plain cheese slice done right-NY thin crust, with the right combination of cheese and sauce.
Favorite Dish: cheese slice
Price Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: within the Del Amo Fashion Center, near Burlington, upper level
Price: less than US$10
Rating: 3
Theme: Pizza

Let The Music Play by ElizabethCute1998Watch
©2013-2016 ElizabethCute1998
Music is the language that makes everyone smile and cry in equal measure... I'm very much a firm lover of music as an art form.
You've got some nice effects going on here; good representations of music as beats and melodies circling our minds. I can definitely relate to the guy closing his eyes and relaxing to his tunes.
However, there's not a whole lot going for this other than the concept itself. It's just that I agree with the beauty of the message, and agree it'd make a good desktop wallpaper. Regardless, you've done a nice job, and hope you can keep it up! Plenty of potential yet to be unlocked, I'm sure of it.
this is best comment i get ever Thank you so much you dont know how im happy that you think about this it's truly is i just get this idea because not much i saw pictures like this one i made music is not just a music it's gives you something special and that's why i add this (let the music play) music is away from soul when we can't just say that our words but we can always feel & hear this
Glad you enjoyed my thoughts... I make it a point to write a good comment.
Play the right music and you can totally tune out and go into your own world, far from the stresses of the real world. And of course, often, what cannot be expressed with words can always be expressed with music... I knew that for a fact when I played "The Old Man" by George Donaldson for my granddad's funeral. A truly beautiful song that expresses everything he had done for the family around him.

'Once you actually talk to her, you see why she is so beautiful," Sutter Keely (Miles Teller), a freewheeling high school senior, says to his puzzled buddy in The Spectacular Now, explaining why he has, indeed, fallen for Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley), the unlikeliest of prospects.
Shy, up at dawn for a paper route, a diligent student with posters of unicorns on her wall and a bookshelf of sci-fi and anime, Aimee is nothing like Sutter's previous girlfriend, the blond and bubbly Cassidy (Brie Larson).
Sutter and Cassidy were "the life of every party." And then Cassidy dumped Sutter, and the party was over.
If all this sounds like predictable teen romance stuff, it is - and yet it very much isn't. Written by (500) Days of Summer's Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, directed by James Ponsoldt, and beautifully realized by Teller and Woodley, The Spectacular Now captures the exhilaration and confusion, longing and dread of young romance with raw honesty and insight. Nothing rings false, nothing feels "cute."

In these often-trying economic times, a tide of sometimes overwhelming change in technology and its disruptive consequences has begun rolling over our organizations. We've all seen it in the media, in our homes, at our workplaces. It's not too much to say that the entire landscape of how we work and live is steadily being transformed, one piece at a time. The root causes are fairly obvious because they're happening all around us: the Internet revolution, the smart mobile revolution, the social media revolution, the rise of the cloud, the vast new flood of information in our daily lives and the fact that we're getting more and more comfortable with technology being deeply embedded in our day-to-day activities, even if we don't always realize it. The same transformation is happening to businesses, just more slowly and often with a bit more turbulence.
However, the current pace of change is not-unsustainable and we don't have to be -- and shouldn't be -- passive bystanders in the process. There's a lot all of us can do, and done smartly, locally and proactively we can actually harness change as major drivers of opportunity and business value. As I've recently explored in the Big Five shifts in technology today (mobile, social, cloud, consumerization and big data), we can actually get out ahead and modify the way we think about metabolizing technology in the enterprise and applying it to long-standing and new business challenges both. I've previously suggested 10 strategies that will help organizations restructure how they apply technology to their organizations strategically. But as activities alone they are not enough. We have to change our thinking in a way that lets us focus on what's most important as we became true digital businesses.
When it comes to businesses acquiring a digital DNA and moving out of the strictures that 20th century business thinking and operating models impose, I believe the concepts that are listed below are the core ones we need to internalize deeply within our organizations. The signature challenge: It will be intrinsically difficult, culturally and organizationally, for many to make the transition.
Most companies have an immune system that throws out ideas that are perceived as disruptive, until at last it's overcome by persistence, successful adaptation or exigency. Often the new concepts are just too foreign or there is too much vested interest in the way things are done now, and a dozen other headwinds. While creative destruction is the approach of last resort, and many organizations will be able to find their way forward without it, it must be an option on the table for organizations that want to survive for long term. The urgency is here: the mismatch between businesses today and the digital world is growing wider, not narrower, at the moment.
One need only look at a long list of organizations and industries unwilling to change quickly enough to see clear examples of what happens: the publishing industry, the music industry, the software industry and soon most other industries. One only need look at how digital businesses threatens the old business models of each to see the problem: there is often no direct lateral move to digital business. E-books, digital and streaming music, and open source/SaaS are not replacing the old business models with anything like the same revenue. They can't just pave over their existing business model with a digital road and declare success.
Businesses will have to be rethought from the ground up, including their value proposition. This is often a non-starter that's quite unpopular with shareholders, managers or workers in the short term. It is, however, highly likely to be very valuable and desired by customers and the marketplace. The long-term consequence of a failure to adapt to the pervasively networked and digital future is even less desirable however than change. It generally looks like a shrinking business over time and eventually evaporates. Organizations do certainly have to preserve what is sustaining them now, while they actively take proactive steps to transition to digital business. These I believe are the ideas that will help get them there:
6 Big Ideas For Organizing for Digital Change
1. Thinking in terms of ecosystems
Tomorrow's business environments will be much less structured around transactions and much more focused on the dynamism and value inherent in relationships. While both transactions and relationships will remain important to businesses, those with the strongest ties to their communities of workers, partners and customers will fare better than those with weaker ties. With the advent of social media, there are now lightweight and readily scaled ways to create networks of relatively closely held and productive business relationships. This will change how business gets done and who the leaders are.

Why Your Retirement Spending Estimates Are Probably Wrong
- By Tammy Flanagan
- October 8, 2015
- Leave a comment
This week, I thought it would be interesting to conduct a roundtable interview with five financial planners who work with federal employees. I spoke with Diana Davis from Money Concepts; Karen P. Schaeffer with KarenSchaeffer Financial, LLC; Micah Shilanski at Shilanski & Associates Inc.; Kristina E. M. Sturgis, with Valenstein & Patterson; and Joe Sullender with the Financial Strategies Group of Wells Fargo Advisors.
How do you plan for retirement in a volatile market?
Sturgis: As we are several years into a bull market, we frequently recommend that clients approaching retirement with significant wealth in their TSP consider two allocations: a more conservative one for the wealth they have already built, and another allocation for future contributions, which takes advantage of the market roller coaster. This allows them to not only reduce loss during market declines, but to have a place to draw from to buy into a correction at attractive prices.
Shilanski: A basic rule of thumb is not having any money you are going to spend in the next 5 years in the market, and this would go for the TSP as well.
Sullender: You have to first evaluate your need for the funds. Today is no different than yesterday...
Who Can You Trust?

The Thrift Savings Plan recently sent a brochure to agencies offering guidance for choosing vendors for financial planning events.
But federal employees face a similar challenge—finding qualified financial advisors who act in a worker's best interest as they consider what to do with the TSP after retirement and how to manage the TSP in a volatile market. Federal employees have done a great job of saving a portion of their salary in the TSP, but now that many are approaching retirement, they aren't always certain about how to handle their savings. There are many resources available. It might be tempting to hire someone to take over the management of your retirement savings, but you need to be able to distinguish fact from fiction and reliable information from scams.
Lesson No. 1: If you are going to hire someone to assist you with your financial planning for retirement, it is important to hire someone who is both qualified and who will look out for what is in your best interest, not their best interest. This is called a "fiduciary" responsibility.

Be Ready for the Long Term

A few weeks ago, I shared a "Dear Kids" letter from a father to his adult children about the importance of planning for retirement. As I was thinking about that letter, I realized it's also a good idea to let your family know how you're preparing for long term care if you reach the point where you can no longer live independently. In my family we have dealt with long term care issues for my dad, who passed away in 1998, and my husband's mom, who we lost more recently. My mom and my husband's dad both passed away more suddenly and did not need long term care, so the way I see it, our odds are 50-50 that my husband and I may someday need such care. To help readers weigh the issues, I decided to share a letter I wrote to my own adult children to let them know the steps we've taken to prepare for whatever may come.
Dear Kids,
As you know, I spend a lot of my time helping other people prepare for retirement. As I was thinking about this, it seemed a good time to let you know about...
Beware of Hucksters

I've conducted a lot of retirement planning seminars over the course of my career. I've taught at least 3,000 federal employees the basics about their benefits in the past year -- over 100,000 during my career. There aren't very many of us who conduct such classes for federal employees, so it's not surprising that thousands miss out on agency-sponsored pre-retirement planning classes.
There are many good reasons to attend an agency-sponsored seminar. First, there's access to seasoned professionals and the materials they bring, with no sales pitch. There also are opportunities to ask questions—and to learn from answers to colleagues' questions. Perhaps most important, such sessions give employees some needed time and space to focus on retirement planning.
Consider these retirement statistics:
- From 2005 to 2014, 275,059 employees retired from the Federal Employees Retirement System (average age: 60.6 years; average length of service: 28.2 years).
- During the same period, 331,973 employees retired under the Civil Service Retirement System (average age: 59.8 years; average length of service: 33.8 years).
Although the vast majority of retirees were covered under CSRS or FERS, there are a few other retirement plans...
Risk and Retirement: Managing Your TSP Investment
- By Tammy Flanagan
- September 10, 2015
- Leave a comment
A new law requires the Thrift Savings Plan to invest the automatic contributions of recently hired federal employees into an age-appropriate lifecycle fund. Eric Katz outlined this change to the TSP under the Smart Savings Act, which President Obama signed into law in December 2014. The G Fund previously was the default option for the TSP. Besides new employees, the switch also will affect new survivor annuitants and re-hired federal employees who have a zero balance in their TSP account.
How is a participant's default L Fund determined?
According to TSP Bulletin 15-2, the L Fund selection for each participant will be based on a projected retirement age of 62. For example, the age-appropriate default investment fund for someone born between 1973 and 1982 would be L2040, since they would be expected to begin drawing on their TSP funds between 2035 and 2044.
In last week's column on 12 practical tips for a successful retirement, I urged readers to consider their tolerance for risk. Participants subject to the new default investment rules will receive a letter from the TSP that includes such risk information as required by the Smart Savings Act.
The TSP spells out the investment risks...

44 miles. 12. 5 average. Journey's end. 2038 miles since we cycled by the placque in Mobile, Alabama, that indicated where the slave market had been, to the Black History Cairn in Owen Sound.
The last time we were on the bike. We'd shed all our equipment for one of the prettiest days of riding we've had. And biiiiiiig climbs, too. Silly me, I thought it would be easy without BOB and all his buddies! I was still pushing and puffing.
Follow the Drinking Gourd which pointed the way north. (Click on the picture for the fullsize (2 megabyte), readable version.)
This really brought it home to me. Every summer in August, for the past 145 years, there is an Emancipation Festival in Harrison Park where this monument is. History is still alive in Owen Sound.
Many of the stones in this cairn were donated by many of the states along the Underground Railroad, "The Free State of Maine," "The former Slave State of Maryland…"
The floor of the cairn represents quilt squares used for messages and signals along the Underground Railroad.
Imagine, people fleeing all those hundreds and thousands of miles to find freedom in Canada. I found this little monument to be so very moving. And I hope that I am not sounding corny, but I wish every American could learn the history we've learned. And I wish every African American could understand the courage of their ancestors to have survived such a system and to hope and strive for something better. I have learned such respect for all these people.
So. It was quite a journey. It's hard to end a trip like this. It's bittersweet. Sweet because the goal we've been reaching for over 48 days has been achieved. Bitter because tomorrow I won't be getting on my bicycle, and all our new friends will be scattering to their corners of the world. But the sweetest of all! 2038 miles and NO FLAT TIRES!!! No problems at all with the bicycle. It faithfully shifted endlessly and carried us over all those hills. The ride today was great in warm sunny weather, tail winds, beautiful farm country, a light load and arrival at a significant historic landmark. Journey's end. Joan and Ilkka

The Perennial Quest for a Psychology with a Soul: An Inquiry into the Relevance of Sri Aurobindo's Metaphysical Yoga Psychology in the Context of Ken Wilber's Integral Psychology
Paulson, Daryl S., Journal of Transpersonal Psychology
VRINTE, JOSEPH, (2002). The Perennial Quest for a Psychology with a Soul: An Inquiry into the Relevance of Sri Aurobindo's Metaphysical Yoga Psychology in the Context of Ken Wilber's Integral Psychology. Delhi, India: Motilal Barnarsidass. xx +568 pp. ISBN: 81-208-1932-2, hard cover, $50.00. Reviewed by Daryl S. Paulson.
It was only a matter of time before someone compared and contrasted the works of Sri Aurobindo and Ken Wilber. Joseph Vrinte has done this in a rather balanced and fair manner, providing specific criticisms to the works of each.
The book, consisting of twelve chapters, a preface, acknowledgements, epilogue and bibliography, is particularly valuable in that Vrinte has in-depth knowledge of the works of both Ken Wilber and Sri Aurobindo. Yet, it is clear that Vrinte is partial to Aurobindo's Integral Philosophy.
Chapter 1 (Psychotherapy) provides a summary background of the four psychotherapeutic schools, to wit, psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, existentialhumanistic, and transpersonal. Vrinte does not place Wilber's work in an "integral" category, as Wilber would like, nor does Vrinte discuss positive psychology or neuropsychiatry. Vrinte argues that, for complete growth, a spiritual component is necessary.
In Chapter 2 (Conventional Psychotherapy and Spiritual Disciplines), Vrinte posits that the personal self and deeper self (transpersonal self) must be harmoniously integrated. Frances Vaughan, John Welwood, Roberto Assagioli, Brant Cortright, Ken Wilber, and Michael Washburn have also made this point. Yet, Vrinte concludes that this process is not an easy endeavor and cautions against handing over aspects of life to a deeper self for which one needs to take personal responsibility.
In Chapter 3 (Metaphysical Psychology), Vrinte argues that human existence, in all practices and forms, actually is part of larger spiritual phenomenon that leads to the Godhead. The self-sense that makes this journey continually expands its awareness, beginning at the egoic self, continuing into the Soul level, and culminating in Spirit. Vrinte begins, then, a systematic process of comparing Wilber's and Aurobindo's philosophies, as well as discussing both Western and Eastern views in this connection.
Vrinte, in Chapter 4 (The Transpersonal Psychological Movement), presents the history of the transpersonal psychology movement. For Vrinte, it began just after Maslow wrote the book, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature. Vrinte also discusses valuable contributions made by Cortright, Grof, Aurobindo, and, of course, by Wilber and Washburn, to the growth of the transpersonal movement. According to Vrinte, two fundamental transpersonal paradigms exist: Wilber's structural, or "ladder model," and Washburn's "spiral," or "U-turn" model. Vrinte also discusses the practical applied aspects of both transpersonal psychology and psychiatry in a section on psychotic disorders, border-line disorders, and neurotic disorders and comments on John Nelson's book, Healing the Split, and aspects of the chakra system. He concludes this chapter with a section on meditation and trans-personal psychotherapy, emphasizing the importance of individuals opening to deeper levels of Being.
Chapter 5 (A General Introduction to Ken Wilber) presents adequate summaries of Wilber's books, omitting, however, The Holographic Paradigm, A Sociable God, Quantum Questions, Spiritual Choices, Grace and Grit, and Boomeritis. Although it is nearly impossible to characterize Wilber's work, Vrinte's summaries provide a summary discussion for each one, including how they fit into Wilber's selfproclaimed evolutionary stages - Wilber I through Wilber IV. Vrinte also presents Aurobindo's stage model of consciousness, as articulated by Ken Wilber and presents comments on other areas, such as lines and levels of development, modernism and postmodernism, and the four quadrants, as well as Wilber's incorporation of Beck and Cowan's book, Spiral Dynamics. …

There was endless media speculation this week about the possible nuptials of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux yesterday. Somehow every radio DJ knew every celebrity on the guest list and made assumptions that so many A-listers wouldn't show up to a regular ol' birthday bash for Justin–and since celebrities have a tendency to throw surprise weddings to throw the radio DJs off–but to no avail.

The bed should be cultivated with a fine-tooth cultivator or weeder often enough to prevent the growth of weeds.
These weeders must be used frequently to be of much value, for after a weed is well rooted the weeder cannot destroy it.

Harley Swim Suit by msciutoWatch
©2011-2016 msciuto
I really dig your style! When you draw Harley she always looks like PrincessBee, is that intentional or just me reading more into it than there really is? Thanks!
Thanks And any resemblance is purely coincidental, as I have no idea who this Princess Bee person is
She is only the biggest and best Harley fan there is! She is the best at Harley cosplay, she runs the Harley websites, she writes epic fan fiction and they use her name in one of the real comics as Harleys aka hiding on the lam name. She is really great. I can't believe you haven't seen her so here is her DA page:
... I... Want to make this swimsuit for my sister... It's gorgeous. <3
Oh please do! And take pictures
Omg thanks~
I showed her this picture and she was like "make this for me"
And I told her I already asked if I could.
And pictures are a definite. I can only hope it turns out well, I'm not good at sewing. O3o;
Wait! I just noticed her lips are coloured like her harlequin outfit! Niiiiice!...
I love the whole look, but I want those freaking shades the most.
nice, love it
awws adorable! love the Harley accessories!
this is very harley. love it!
Great design for Harley's suit, and seeing the Joker buried in the sand made me chuckle.
Very nice work
Very nice work
Hehehehe very nice and somehow a very Harley thing to do. I like the swimsuit you gave her. Amazingly enough it looks like Joker's not horribly upset by being covered up by sand. Wonder why that is?
Thanks! And I dunno...he's just content being on the beach
Because it's Harley who did it to him.
If anyone else tried this, they would have been murdered before the first shovel-ful of sand could get near him. But Harley can get away with it.
