For example, the government will put a one-year limit on Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) payments for claimants in the work related activity group. This could force some people with a learning disability back into work when they are not ready or onto Jobseeker's Allowance, which will mean cuts to other benefits. However, it is possible that this will only affect a small number of people, as the limit will only apply to those who have previously been employed, made National Insurance contributions and received ESA on the basis of these.
More worrying is the removal of the mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) paid to 58,000 residents of care homes. "This money helps people living in residential care get the personal support they need toget out, take part in activities they enjoy and live a fulfilled life," explains Mencap's chief executive Mark Goldring. "This cut will take us back to the days when people were left in care homes with just four walls for company and will undo decades of progress."
On top of this, cuts to Housing Benefit and a 60% reduction in capital funding for affordable homes will put added pressure on the already limited opportunities for independent living for people with a learning disability.
At a meeting about the CSR for several all-party parliamentary groups Maria Miller acknowledged that the government has made "tough decisions". However, she claimed that "even in the teeth of a massive deficit challenge, we have married a real appetite for reform with a determination to support those people who need our help".
But, says Mark Goldring, "the spending review confirms that the war on cuts has become a reality," and Mencap is determined to fight.

Rosa Clara 2012 Wedding Gowns
The lace embroideries, asymmetrical drapes and ruffles – these are the elements that make a Rosa Clara wedding dress unique and recognizable among other designer's styles. However, the originality of Rosa's creations is in the way she uses these popular elements of décor for a wedding dress. The palette of fabrics she uses for her collections is truly unique.
You can find any type of fabric in her portfolio. The gowns you can find on her website are never the same or similar one with each other. The mixes of fabrics and textures used for each gown in part are more than unique. They are sometimes fashion-forward – ideal for modern brides, other times they are simple and clean and they can fit the classic brides. Anyway, the dresses signed by Rosa Clara are all one of a kind and fit for contemporary wedding affairs – whether classic, vintage or modern.
Due to the fact that Rosa Clara's Collections are so highly priced and high class, they are only sold in elite bridal fashion stores and saloons. The stores where you can find Rosa Clara's creations are around Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Romania, United Kingdom, Greece, United States, Hong King and in Belgium. You have to visit her official website to learn more about things like purchasing, prices and availability.
These fabulous gown masterpieces you have the chance to admire on our page belong to one of the recent collections released for 2012. The style is not so very different from what we're used to when it comes to Rosa Clara. Ruffled skirts, pleated and draped bodices, delicate embroideries made of lace, sheer overlays, high necks and subtle accents and details – these are the elements that a bride can find in this couturier's collections.
However, it sounds trivial when we say it. Lucky we have these pictures that can speak for themselves, for we are not so good with words when it comes to describing such soft and delicate beauty of a wedding dress. The lace embroideries made for the necklines, sleeves and boleros are the hottest points of attraction. There is something highly decent yet sensual about these gowns that look so very unique and flattering, especially for a mature bride.
Generally speaking, older brides want something decent that can cover their necks, arms and shoulders but in a chic way. And we believe these pieces have all the necessary qualities to fit the high expectations and pretentious preferences of a mature bride or of those who are planning a formal (second time) wedding ceremony. You can browse for the other articles we have on Rosa Clara's unique gowns on our website.

S. policy, j WASHINGTON (AP) Judge 'John Sirica refused Monday to delny the Watergate cover-up trial and said "the case will be called for trial at Drama-1 Sept. 9." President Ford declared Mon- day that he was prepared to consider conditional amnesty for those American youths who refused to fight in Vietnam. He said conditional amnesty should be judged on a case-by- case basis for those young Americans willing to "work their way back" into American society. Ford's stand, announced at the 7th annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, dif- fered sharply from former Pres- ident Nixon's outright rejection of any form of amnesty for war resisters. Youths Ford said about youths had deserted or evaded draft in- than fight in duction rather Vietnam. ''These young Americans should have a second he said. "I want them to come home if they want to work their way back." Ford was greeted with pro- longed cheers when he declared that outright, unconditional am- nesty "is wrong." But the VFW audience turned stone silent when he added, "As I reject amnesty, so I reject revenge." Ford said he had asked Atty. Gen. Saxbe and Defense Secre- tary Schlesinger to report to him by Sept. 1 on the status of all those who were in trouble with the law because of their opposition to U. S. involvement in Vietnam. Unvarnished View He said the offenses of these youths could be "loosely de- scribed as desertion or draft dodging" and said Saxbe and Schlesinger would "give us an unvarnished view on the sub- ject."

Co-Conspirator Former President Nixon, who was named as an unindicted co- conspirator in the case, has been subpoenaed as a witness for Ehrlichman by the lawyer, Andrew Hall. Lawyers for five of the de- fendants had claimed that Nix- on's resignation and the house judiciary committee debates that preceded it had created publicity that would make it im- possible to get an unbiased jury in the District of Columbia. Sirica said that when he set the trial date last March 1, the day of the indictment, he had in mind that beginning the trial any later might force the locked-up jury to work during the Christmas holidays. He said Monday that to avoid that possi- bility he would, if necessary, ex- tend the court hours until 6 p.m. or later. "There is no better time to try this case than the present Sirica said at the end of a one-hour, 50-minule hearing. "The publicity already has died down. You can pick up the Washington Post and can hardly find a Watergate story." "Right Now" Sirica asked the group of de- fense lawyers whether they ex- pected him to be the judge ol when the climate would be right for a trial, and they replied yes.

Hartmann gave no names, saying, "This is properly the President's secret until he- makes up his mind." But, he said, the nominee will be a Republican and the current possibilities are "not all in any one such as senators, congressmen or governors. Tuesday or Wednesday White House Press Secretary Jerald tcrllorst also said Ford hM not made a final decision but would "spend a lot of time" on his deliberations Monday after returning from Chicago for an address lo the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Talking with reporters aboard Ford's plane, tcrllorst first said it Is "looking more and more like It will be tomorrow (Tues- day) night .that's our work- ing plan."

The son of Mrs. Ralph D. NE, he had been working dur- ing the summer in the park. A national park service spokesman said the young Cedar Rapids man was climb- ing with three others when his hand apparently slipped on a boulder. The four were negotiating the Stoncy Indian pass in the extreme northeast area of the park, the spokes- man said. Hunting apparently slipped onto a snowficld, where he was unable to slow his fall and he then slid on over the edge of a cliff, the park ser- vice spokesman said. The body was recovered by a helicopter crew late Sunday and was taken to Browning, Mont., by the Glacier county coroner. Hunting's climbing com- panions were reported to be Bruce Harvey, Ken Fielder and Linda Linkbicner, who also were employes of Glacier Park Inc., a firm which operates lodges and other con- cessions in the park. Home addresses of the other climbers were not available. The park service spokesman said the four sot out early Sunday for some technical climbing on Mt. Cleveland, the highest point in the park. He: said the accident oc- curred about 8 a.m. at a spot a mile and a half southwest of Mt. Cleveland and seven miles south of the Canadian border. A lifelong resident of Cedar Rapids, Hunting was born July 28, 1955. He was a member of St. Matthew's Catholic church. In Washington high school he had been a member of the state championship swimming team and the National Honor society. He was an amateur photographer, and his work had been featured in several shows.

Some of you have seen it already but Id still like some constructive criticism and opinions on this next map. Just to inform you, it's a little big and the huge empty space is there for a reason because that part of route isn't finished and its connecting to another map and I only wanted to show this one.
So this is Route 16 of Rasen, it's one of my larger maps and it connects to Route 17 which is a shaped like a slope. On this route you actually have to travel with one of your rivals

These aren't your average Grannies...
Welcome to the Grannies on Safari Web Site!
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends." – Maya Angelou
Two best friends - one a marketing executive retiring from a 31-year career with an international airline, the other an arts executive who worked with organizations and artists across the globe - combined their passion for travel, culture and connecting with people in distant lands to create Grannies on Safari®, an Emmy® award winning TV series.
The Grannies on Safari (GOS) series became reality when Regina Fraser and Pat Johnson funded the project to launch GOS in 2006. Currently, GOS is shown on public television stations throughout the United States and it is syndicated by American Public Television World-Wide. We are proud to announce our new partnership with RLTV (Cable Network) started running the GOS series in March 2016.
As an airline manager, Regina held various positions in infiight operations, corporate marketing, and communications. She was responsible for the production of a monthly video news magazine for the corporation and learned her television skills while in that position. She also developed a cultural exchange program as part of the White House Millennium Council for the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. Regina has traveled to more than 70 countries, 48 states, and six continents.
Pat's life has been devoted to helping artists and arts organizations find their voices. She has led several arts organizations as well as the Chicago Artists International Program for 250 artists and arts administrators from 80 countries. Pat has had assignments and/or presented on arts issues in countries including India, Ghana, Senegal, China and Brazil. Pats has journeyed to more than 90 countries and six continents.

From VRBO: P. Washington said... Awesome family vacation
"This was my first extended stay in Brooklyn (as opposed to Manhattan). The location was perfect, just 2 1/2 blocks from the subway. The restaurants in the area were fantastic. And while the nightlife appeared to be going strong into the "wee hours" of the morning, the apartment remained very quiet. When not exploring the neighborhood, I spent quite a bit of time relaxing with a book in the gorgeous back yard." (Garden Apt)From Home Away: L. Winter said...As relaxing as you can get in Brooklyn
"Even more beautiful than the pictures! Super clean and well maintained. Quality furnishings. Great area, very close to the L line. We will be back!"From House Trip: Wolf Aurel said...Picture Perfect
"We stay in a lot of rental apartments when we travel, and this was definitely one of the best. It was as lovely as in photos and had everything we needed. Wi-fi works great. Helpful, accommodating and easy-going host. Check-in and check-out were very easy. To top it off, the location was absolutely perfect, on a cute street right off Bedford, the main drag of Williamsburg. The neighborhood is a walker's dream - full of galleries, shops and great restaurants, but it hasn't lost touch with its Polish roots. Two different subway lines make it simple to access Manhattan - Williamsburg is the first stop in Brooklyn. A 15-minute walk to the J-M-Z. Cab/car service to and from Manhattan is quick and easy via the Williamsburg Bridge!"From Airbnb: Susan said... Excellent amenities

This review is from: Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600 Memory for Apple Model KTA-MB1600/8G
Pros: The price seemed fair and Newegg shipped the memory quickly as I expected
Cons: This memory would NOT work with the new Mac-mini(i7).
Other Thoughts: Kingston's web site indicated that this was system specific memery and would work with the new Apple Mac-mini(i7). This was not the case. The computer would not even bootup with this memory. Back it goes to Newegg.

Overpriced garbage.
This review is from: Beats by Dr. Dre Black Beats Solo HD 3.5mm Connector On Ear Headphone with ControlTalk (Black)
Pros: - Aesthetically, they look great - this is their main appeal
Cons: I won't go into the nitty gritty details of the sound and use all this complex terminology, but to put it in a nutshell: the sound is absolute garbage, and this is what ultimately matters with headphones. Most people buy these because they hear that the bass is what shines the most. Unfortunately, the bass is very distorted in many songs, drains out the rest of the sound, and everything else sounds atrocious for the price. To put it simply, the Beats use a type of bass where it tries to cover up what the rest of the headphones sound like - but as soon as you reduce the bass, you instantly notice the true quality of these headphones.
Other Thoughts: This is a perfect example of celebrity advertising at its finest. Honestly, these are just a fashion accessory - a very expensive one at it. They look cool to wear on your head or around your neck, but that's about it. The sound quality for this price just doesn't deliver at all. Unfortunately, the target audience for these headphones are the people upgrading from the stock headphones that come with an iPod or whatever, so most people don't know what expensive headphones should sound like, because the only thing they've ever at this price are the Beats or Bose on display at a local store.

Lina is a person who has always been know for her hardworking personality, and thanks to this quality she has had success in surmounting the difficulties that life has presented to her. For about the past three years, she had been working in a store selling clothing, but because her salary was not enough to contribute greatly to the expenses of her household, she decided to go independent and create her own business.
Thus, about three years ago, she opened an internet cafe where she provides her customers with internet service, and thanks to the good service, she has been able to gain many good customers. The first advantage of the business in that it's in a strategic location, since there are three private schools nearby, allowing her to bring in well-off customers. Without a doubt, her greatest difficulty is in that there's a great deal of competition at very low prices, so she is asking for this loan in order to buy stationery products to offer her customers printing services and copies, and to be able to diversify her clientele.
In this way, her business will be able to set itself apart from the competition, permitting her to move forward and continue with her business. In addition, she hopes that this will greatly increase her income, allowing her to have a better quality of life and greater opportunities for economic advancement.

Lina es una persona que siempre se ha caracterizado por ser muy trabajadora, y gracias a esta cualidad ha logrado superar grandes dificultades que se le han presentado en la vida. Hasta hace aproximadamente 3 años trabajaba en una empresa vendiendo ropa, pero dado que su salario no era suficiente para poder contribuir económicamente en su hogar, decidió independizarse y montar su propio negocio. Fue así como desde hace unos 3 años montó un cibercafé donde ofrece a sus clientes el servicio de Internet y gracias a la buena atención ha logrado captar muy buenos clientes. La principal ventaja que tiene es que está ubicada en un sector estratégico, pues cerca de su negocio hay tres colegios lo que le permite tener muy buena afluencia de clientes, sin embargo, su mayor dificultad es que existe mucha competencia que compite con muy buenos precios, por lo que ahora busca que un préstamo le permita comprar productos de papelería para ofrecer a sus clientes el servicio de impresión y argollado de las mismas, y así poder generar diferenciación en sus clientes.
De esta manera su negocio podrá diferenciarse de la competencia permitiendo así poder salir adelante y continuar con su negocio, además, espera que de esta manera sus ingresos aumenten considerablemente, permitiendo tener una mejor calidad de vida y mayores oportunidades económicas para progresar.
Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

Jannik Hansen suspended one game for hit on Marian Hossa
More NHL: Scores | Standings | Odds | Fight-O-Meter | League Leaders | Rumors
The NHL announced on Wednesday evening that Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen has been suspended one game for his hit to the head of Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa on Tuesday night.
He had a disciplinary hearing with the league on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident occurred less than two minutes into the third period of Chicago's 4-3 shootout win. Hossa left the game and did not return. He was knocked out of last year's playoff series against Phoenix after suffering a concussion when he was hit by Coyotes forward Raffi Torres.
Hansen doesn't have a track record of being a dirty player, but it's the second time this season he has drawn attention to himself. Earlier this season, he avoided discipline from the league when he appeared to cross-check a referee in the back during a skirmish before a faceoff in a game against the San Jose Sharks.

text: Boeing Quad Cities Vying For Boeing Plant By Sean Crawford • Dec 26, 2013 Northwestern Illinois officials want to team up with their Iowa counterparts to woo a Boeing plant that could bring more than 8,500 jobs to the Quad Cities. The (Moline) Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/1c7choJ ) the Bi-State Regional Commission sent a letter to the two states' governors asking them to promote a regional bid for the multibillion dollar assembly plant. The letter was signed by community leaders in Moline, Rock Island, East Moline and Rock Island County in Illinois along with Iowa officials from Davenport, Bettendorf and Scott County. Lawmaker Wants Boeing Plant For Decatur By Associated Press • Dec 13, 2013 RepMitchell.com An Illinois lawmaker says he wants Boeing Co. to build a new manufacturing plant in Decatur. The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises Newspapers reports (http://bit.ly/18GfBqF ) Forsyth Republican Rep. Bill Mitchell is hoping the Chicago-based aerospace company will build its new factory in the central Illinois community. Boeing is looking for a location to build its new 400-seat 777X jetliner. Boeing is looking at a $7 billion to $10 billion plant that would start with 3,250 workers in 2018 and grow to 8,500 by 2024. Madigan: Resist Temptation To Cave To Corporate Officials' Demands By Amanda Vinicky • Dec 11, 2013 Amanda Vinicky A day after Office Depot announced it would stay in Florida rather than move to Illinois, the speaker of the House says Illinois needs to end its practice of offering tax incentives on a case-by-case basis. The Illinois House is getting flak for adjourning earlier this month without voting on tax breaks approved by the Senate -- deals meant to lure the newly-merged Office Depot to Illinois, and to convince Archer Daniels Midland to keep its global headquarters in-state.

NASA's New Mission: Left-Wing Propaganda Targeting Children
What does NASA do with our money now that Obama has pulled the plug on space exploration? Its new primary mission is to help Muslims feel good about themselves for their imaginary technological accomplishments, but another important objective is to brainwash gullible children with anti-human leftist ideology:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Web site network includes "Climate Kids: NASA's Eyes on the Earth," which use cartoons, games, and other activities to teach children about man-made global warming and climate change.
A sample of the appalling content:
One of the features on the children's pages is a "Climate Tales" cartoon, "Adventures on a Changing Planet: Will our heroes ever find their way home?"
The cartoon features a polar bear and a fish. In the cartoon, some of the following dialogue occurs:
"Hey, it looks like your ice is melting," the fish says.
"I had to swim for miles to find a chunk of ice to climb onto," says the bear. "If I don't get to rest once in a while I won't have enough energy to hunt my next meal."
"All the ice is melting," the bear says.
After being transported to the South American rain forest, the fish and the polar bear meet a monkey.
"Where did all the trees go?" the bear asks.
"Funny story," the monkey says. "The humans cut them down and burned them."
"And now it's a trash dump," says the bear.
The monkey informs the bear that the humans tried to grow crops and "it didn't take long for the humans to use all the rest of the life in the soil."
Under Americans, the purpose of NASA was to raise mankind to new heights through the advancement of technology. Under moonbats, its purpose is to retard technology — even including agriculture — so that the world might go back to jungle.

Pressure Suit, RX-2-A, Constant Volume, Litton
This RX-2-A Advanced Extra-Vehicular Suit is an experimental constant volume suit was manufactured by Litton Industries who made a series of "hard" suits during the early 1960s. These experimental suits were designed to maintain an almost perfectly constant volume while enabling a full range of body motions. They could operate at higher pressure, thus reducing the time-consuming oxygen pre-breathing period before extra vehicular activities.
It has more sophisticated shoulder joints than the RX-2, and closes with a dual-plane closure at the back. It operated at 5psi instead of the 3.7psi of the Apollo soft suits.

I did a search or two but came up empty. Is it possible to use a modern symetrical Campy bottom bracket with pre-date code NR cranks designed for an asymetrical spindle? I'm guessing that 115 mm might work. Thanks.
I did a search or two but came up empty. Is it possible to use a modern symetrical Campy bottom bracket with pre-date code NR cranks designed for an asymetrical spindle? I'm guessing that 115 mm might work. Thanks.
In my case, yes. I had to replace an old offset 112mm english threaded NR bottom bracket with a new campy veloce 111 mm, italian threaded. It was ~2mm too short for the frame I was using. Switched to a new veloce 115mm and everything lined up well. If the cranks you are using are older you can probably tighten them inwards further than if they were new, due to wear and tear.
Thanks, norskagent. I just bought a NOS campy BB on ebay for $35.00, so I think I'm covered. Nevertheless, this information is good to know. So, if anyone can share their experiences with cartridge BBs used with Nuovo Record cranks, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
for C-Record strada/road cranks, you can use the modern centaur 111mm *symmetric* BB and it works perfect. same ISO taper, same spindle length, same symmetry as the orginal C-record cup-and-cone BB. lickton's calls it the "2008 Centaur 111mm" model, part#s: 0205-13 (eng) and 0205-15 (ita). this is the BB i installed on my somec with c-record cranks...works PERFECT!
i'm trying to figure out if the equivalent 115.5mm centaur will work with Nuovo/Super Record cranks. nuovo record BBs are ~115mm assymetrical and ISO tapers, with the longer spindle-end on the drive-side. the centaur spindle length looks right (enough, within ~1mm overall) and the ISO tapers are right, but i believe the 115.5mm centaur is also symmetric so you'll need some BB spacers to shift everything over to the drive-side. however, i dont have the difference in length between the drive- and non-drive sides of the nuovo record BB spindle to know how wide the spacer needs to be...DOH!
edit: based on the documentation i found here: http://www.minortriad.com/campagbb.html
a 68mm english nuovo record BB is 115.5mm overall with 49mm on the drive-side and 33.5mm on the non-drive (part# 744/A 68 SS). that's a difference of 15.5mm in spindle-end lengths. you'd need half of that in the form of a spacer to shift a symmetric BB over to the drive-side...15.5mm / 2 = 7.25mm thick spacer. say 7mm is close enough for gubment work.
7mm seems somewhat wide for a BB spacer, you're giving up alot of important threaded interface in the BB area. i'm reluctant to think this is a really workable retrofit. i might try it out and see how it works...
edit #2: i re-read that documentation and the spec i was using was for an older BB. the latest nuovo record BB spec is in chart-3 "new style". the nuovo record double BB is nominally 113.5mm long assymetric (28mm + 54mm + 31.5mm). and looking at the differences in spindle-length, it only has 3.5mm of assymetry.
so...going back to the symmetric 115.5mm centaur cartridge bb...dang, it's still not going to work, since the long spindle-end is on the fixed-cup side and you cant thread it in any further to "give" the extra length to the non-drive side. dang.

Compared to... Fujifilm FinePix F10
Below you will find a studio comparison between the Canon PowerShot A700 and the Fujifilm FinePix F10 at ISO 800
Studio scene comparison (@ ISO 800)
- Canon PowerShot A700: Aperture Priority mode, ISO 800, Default Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.67 EV compensation
- Fuji FinePix F10 : Program mode, ISO 800, Default Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.67 EV compensation
- Lighting: Daylight simulation, >98% CRI
Canon PowerShot A700
Fujifilm FinePix F10
ISO 800, 1/501 sec, F5.0
ISO 800, 1/380 sec, F6.5
One feature of all the new crop of 6MP compacts is the addition of a 'high sensitivity' mode - in this case ISO 800. And here's where the F10's Super CCD sensor really starts to show its stuff; the A700 image, is so noisy that it'll make your ears bleed (though to be fair it's no worse than the ISO 400 mode on many cameras). It's usable - at a pinch - in situations where there's no alternative, and Canon should be praised for refusing to remove any vestement of detail through mega-heavy noise reduction, but let's be honest; this doesn't really represent a major leap forward in sensitivity. Sure, it's slightly unfair to compare it to the F10 (it's not like Fuji currently offers a camera with this sensor that has anything like the A700's feature set), but it does show how far standard CCDs have to go before they can be considered to offer anything like the F10's wide ISO range. Note that the noise gets noticeably stronger as light levels drop, but in good light (as above) it's fine for small prints.

Uniform Actions in Asynchronous Distributed Systems

Malki, Dalia; Birman, Kenneth P.; Ricciardi, Aleta M.; Schiper, Andre
We develop necessary conditions for the development of asynchronous distributed software that will perform {\em uniform} actions (events that if performed by any process, must be performed at all processes). The paper focuses on {\em dynamic uniformity}, which differs from the classical problems in that processes continually leave and join the ongoing computation. Here, we first treat a static version of the problem (lacking joins), and then extend the results so obtained to also include joins. Our results demonstrate that in contrast to Consensus, which cannot be solved in asynchronous systems with even a single faulty process, dynamic uniformity can be solved using a failure detection mechanism that makes bounded numbers of mistakes. Because dynamic uniformity arises in systems that maintain safety within a "primary partition" of a network, our paper provides a rigorous characterization of the framework upon which several existing distributed programming environments are based.

ods, and procedures. Instead, it is more likely to become an interdisciplinary domain in which humanists and social and biological scientists retain their own conceptual tools and approaches but find a way of integrating them to study processes that do not admit one-dimensional explanations.
Whether this is the direction creativity research will take is at this point a moot question. Whichever way it goes, however, it will not go very far unless we who work in it recognize that creativity is not something that takes place inside the head of a person but is the product of a far larger and more mysterious process.

Washougal police arrested a 17-year-old boy for allegedly driving a car at a cat, hitting and killing the animal last week.
Anonymous tips led police to the juvenile, whose name was not released. The boy was taken into custody Wednesday on suspicion of first-degree animal cruelty, but he was later released to his parents, according to the Washougal Police Department.
On Sept. 13, police responded to a 911 call about 12:30 a.m. after witnesses saw a Ford SUV speeding in the 2700 block of H Street in Washougal. The vehicle traveled onto the curb and ran over a cat that had just crossed the road, according to police.
Witnesses heard a male voice yell "hit it, hit it" before the vehicle swerved to hit the cat, police said. Washougal police reported that, as the cat lay dying in the grass, the vehicle returned twice for the occupants to look at the animal.
When the boy was interviewed, he told investigating officer Kelly Anderson that he didn't mean to run over the cat — that he was actually trying to avoid it by driving right at it, police said. The boy wasn't able to explain to police why he didn't just stay on the road or veer to the left.
Washougal police Sgt. Geoff Reijonen said that the other four male juvenile passengers of the vehicle have been interviewed and that no more arrests are anticipated.
The case against the boy will be forwarded to the Clark County Juvenile Prosecuting Attorneys Office for a charging decision.

A dissenting view of the West Bypass: How about some facts?
I occasionally read The Citizen to catch up on local news. As a result, I am aware of the disagreement within the County Commission regarding the West Bypass.
I do not have an opinion on whether the bypass is good or bad, because, despite the many letters published on the subject, many authors typically turn to personal attacks and insults.
I don't ever recall reading a rational, respectful, "just the facts ma'am," pro-and-con description of the issues involved.
These attacks may be warranted and effective, but once you've chosen this route, I don't think it is realistic to expect the person you've attacked to extend any courtesy.
I find it silly that Commissioner Brown would think that commissioners he regularly attacks would give him the benefit of the doubt on the supplemental materials he provided just prior to a county commission meeting.
I also find it dryly amusing that Commissioner Brown refers to the West Bypass as the "developers welfare bypass."
Developers are usually going to benefit from infrastructure improvements because they are in the business of developing land. As such, it should not surprise anyone they are highly informed on the issues that affect their ability to stay in business.
For example, if you were a developer would you be more aware of population trends, traffic patterns, zoning regulations, long-term local and regional transportation plans, and the opinion of county land use authorities than a friend who worked in the financial services industry?
If not, then you would not be a developer very long. If so, then how would you use this knowledge?
I think most folks would purchase the land outright or buy options. When? Before the infrastructure was built and prices rose.
I wouldn't call acting on knowledge gained by studying the factors affecting your industry "welfare."
I would be happy to read a rational, respectful, "just the facts ma'am," pro-and-con description of the issues involved. In the meantime I respectfully request that Commissioner Brown quit maligning law-abiding developers and stop acting surprised when people he attacks don't extend any courtesy.

USA Premium Foam®
USA Premium Foam® Insulation is our proprietary injection foam insulation for interior and exterior walls. It is pumped into wall spaces in a liquid form with the consistency of shaving cream, where it flows freely throughout the wall cavity—getting behind wires, pipes, electrical outlets, and into cracks and crevices that other insulation can't reach. Once the wall cavity is completely filled, our Premium Foam hardens to a styrofoam-like consistency, forming a superior barrier against summer heat and winter cold infiltration!
Benefits of USA Premium Foam® Insulation
USA Premium Foam® Insulation has up to a 35% higher R-value (insulating property) than cellulose, fiberglass, or rockwool. That means greater energy efficiency and lower utility bills! In addition, it is eco-friendly, mold resistant and won't settle over time like other insulation. It can be used on virtually every type of home exterior including wood, vinyl or aluminum siding, stucco, and brick. It can even be installed over existing insulation!
Compare Insulation Types
USA Premium Foam® Insulation is a foam-in-place injection insulation that outperforms the other retrofit insulation products for many reasons. USA Premium Foam® is a semi-permeable foam that provides superior thermal and acoustical insulation. This environmentally friendly foam emits no CFCs or VOCs. Unlike blow-in insulation products, USA Insulation Premium Foam is injected as a liquid form and is able to fill every void, thereby creating a highly effective thermal envelope preventing air infiltration...
Installation Process
We've been around since 1989 and our experience shows in the way we have perfected the process of preparing, installing, cleaning up, and taking care of you long after the installation.
What We Can Insulate
Premium Foam is extremely versatile. It can be installed in virtually any type of home that has a wall with an enclosed cavity. No matter what material your home is constructed with, USA Premium Foam® Insulation is the most versatile retrofit insulation. It works in brick, block, stucco, shingle and wood houses, in addition to houses with vinyl or aluminum siding.
Foam Properties
USA Premium Foam® Insulation is a phenolic-based methylene-linked synthetic polymer made exclusively for USA Insulation. It consists of two components: an aqueous resin solution and foaming agent/catalyst. These materials are ratioed together with compressed air in specially engineered metering and pumping equipment to form an insulating substance with shaving cream-like consistency. It is then injected into wall cavities, where the foam hardens as it dries - creating an airtight layer of insulation within the walls. It is an ultra-efficient and economical solution for retrofitting buildings without damaging walls or requiring the removal of drywall, paneling, and other sections of wall.

Kevin Shea was originally born in Seoul, Korea, and in January of 1981, he was adopted and sent to America to live with a middle class Irish family in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He is the son of James and Madalyn Shea, parents of five children, two white chicks, two Korean boys, and one Korean girl. Both parents were middle class. James was a Korean War vet and a decorated police officer, and Madalyn was a factory worker. His parents' personalities were spitted images of Archie and Edith Bunker. It was as if All in the Family was combined with Different Strokes. Being from a very middle class family, Shea was the first to attend college.
After graduating from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Shea was curious to explore the rest of the country, so he moved to San Francisco in 2000. There he would discover stand up. After moving to San Francisco, Shea started a career in the internet industry which lasted a whole year. In 2002, he was laid off and was convinced by a friend to go to an open mic. Influenced by_ Eddie Murphy Raw,_ Shea decided to go to the open mic dressed in a purple leather jumpsuit, not a good idea. His first set was not very good. Not trying to become the typical Asian comic, Shea strayed away from Korean accents based on their mothers', plus, his mom is a honkey. He concentrated on developing his own style which has said to be very laid back and fresh. With his unique style and jokes, he caught the eyes of Hollywood and was invited to the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. Shea has numerous television appearances which include Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and most recently, HBO's Down and Dirty with Jim Norton. He is currently living in Los Angeles.
A native of Tennessee, Jasper Redd began his comedy career in San Francisco. He has since been performing non-stop at comedy clubs and colleges all over the country. In 2005, he was hailed as one of the standout New Faces at Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival, and has been a featured performer in the "Comedians of Comedy" U.S. tour with Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford and Zach Galifianakis. His television appearances include "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", "Last Call with Carson Daly", Comedy Central's "Premium Blend", and HBO's "Def Comedy Jam". Last year, he toured colleges around the country as the host of American Eagle's Campus Comedy Challenge.

Blogger with a passion for beauty, food and anything pretty or unusual. I'm a Londoner who can't really imagine living anywhere else, but who likes to daydream about retreats in Kerala. Maybe one day...
A beautiful and unusual spa - I loved the Victorian tiling around the pool. The facilities were all extremely clean, from the well equipped changing rooms to the tranquil relaxation room (where I enjoyed flicking through a magazine and sipping on mint tea after my treatment). I had a great facial - my therapist explained to me which products she was using and gave me advice on how to look after my sensitive skin. I also enjoyed relaxing in the aromatherapy steam room and trying out the inbuilt seats with jets in the pool. A really lovely experience - ideal for de-stressing.
The spa was beautiful, with a lovely relaxation area, spacious changing room and atmospheric, candle lit treatment rooms. The staff were very happy to help, pointing out facilities and generally making sure I had everything I needed. My back, neck and shoulder massage was the firmest I've ever had (and actually hurt at times!) but was beneficial in ironing out knots and leaving me much less tense. All in all, a lovely venue - ideal for a bit of luxury pampering.
Having never tried out kinesiology before or been to Stepping Stones, I had no idea what to expect. My therapist was unfortunately 20 minutes late, but more than made up for it with his skill and knowledge. I found the lifestyle consultation at the beginning of the session very useful, as it covered diet, sleep patterns and work habits amongst other things. This was followed by a massage tailored to my aches and pains, as well as some muscle therapy, breathing techniques and assisted stretching - all of which I found to be immensely helpful.
My therapist was careful to talk me through each stage of the session, and made lots of helpful suggestions as to how I could improve different areas of my life. I left feeling physically relaxed and mentally uplifted, and will definitely be going back.
Those looking for pampering and luxury may find Stepping Stones a little clinical - but if you are looking to improve your health and wellbeing, I highly recommend it.
I headed to Hectick to have my shoulder length hair cut into a short crop - always a bold move if you're trying out somewhere new. Luckily, my stylist excelled himself. I showed him a picture of how my hair used to look and he got the idea straight away.
My hair was shampooed by a girl with a head full of beautiful curls (it's always reassuring to see hairdressers with great hair) and then Mike got to work on the cut. He did a great job, and I'm really pleased with the results.
During my trip to the salon I was also offered some colouring advice, and given some samples of products such as wax and volumising shampoo to try out - always a bonus!
The salon is easy to find, and when I discovered a road was blocked off for a Christmas display the staff helpfully redirected me. I'll certainly be going back when my crop starts to grow out!
I'm really pleased with my Simply Soaps products and the service I received. The package arrived quickly, and the products are fantastic. I've saved some as gifts, but have tried the rose and geranium soap and the mint and oats soap, both of which I absolutely love. They smell fantastic and have really great properties - the rose and geranium softens the skin and the mint and oat exfoliates. Great to know that everything's organic, too.
I went to Therapy with my Mum as part of my hen weekend. The salon/spa has a very relaxing atmosphere, with lavender essential oils hitting you as soon as you walk through the door. The staff were very welcoming and acomodating, and my therapist Nadia instantly made me feel at ease.
I had a luxurious hot stone massage, which began with a relaxing foot soak. Not only did the 90 minute massage leave me feeling deeply relaxed, but it also worked wonders on my muscles. I suffer from chronic pain, and after the massage felt the best I have in 9 months. Want another one now!
My mum was really pleased with her Tibetan head massage - said it helped her a lot with her stiff neck and shoulders. The results of her manicure were beautiful.
We will be definitely be going back to Therapy in the future for a beauty and relaxation fix!
I went to Aloka to try the Aura Soma colour consultation. This wasn't something I was familiar with or had done before, but I was fascinated by the concept of using colour to find out more about myself. During the consultation, I was asked to select certain coloured bottles, from which the therapist was able to deduce certain things about me, which we then talked through. The results were surprisingly accurate.
Aloka has a peaceful yet friendly atmosphere - it's exactly the sort of place I would want to go to escape stress. Plus, they have a fantastic cafe and restaurant, so you can load up on tasty yet healthy food, too!
I went to JINNYlash expecting it to be a noisy salon where I would be expected to chat whilst I had my treatment done. I was therefore very pleased to discover that the atmosphere is designed to be a calming one, with soothing music and no unnecessary chit-chat. It was therefore a pleasure to have this treatment done after work, rather than an extra thing to fit in to a busy schedule.
My thereapist was very gentle and the treatment was not uncomfortable at all. I was pleased with the results of my eyelash extensions, and have had lots of compliments on them. I would definitely recommend this treatment to those looking for longer lashes that nonetheless still look natural, particularly for a special occasion.
I used to get my hair cut here when I lived in the area. I had short hair, which can be so tricky to get right - but I always left pleased with what the stylists had done. The staff were friendly, and charged much less for a quick trim than a full re-style - something I wish that other salons would do more often.
I also received great advice from one of the hairdressers when I was considering colouring my hair. The only thing that would put me off continuing to go there now I have longer hair which doesn't require so much maintenance is the price - at £50-£60 a cut it's not the cheapest. However, I much prefer O' Sullivans to some of the bigger chains that charge just as much.
