Canada's WestJet Airlines (TSX:WJA) is often thought of as the Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) of the north. WestJet, having started out decades after an expanding Southwest found reliable profits in a turbulent industry, is now Canada's second-largest airline, behind the 78-year-old Air Canada.
But as WestJet looks beyond the domestic Canadian market for growth, does its expansion strategy give us a hint at what Southwest Airlines may do next?
Challenging the big guys
Southwest and WestJet have both built their businesses on challenging big, established legacy airlines. In Southwest's case, it was the legacy carriers that had divided domestic and international flying among themselves, and in WestJet's case, it was competition with the privatized former Crown corporation, Air Canada.
These two airlines managed to succeed in an industry where almost all start-ups perish, dragging millions of investor dollars down along with them. But having established themselves solidly in their respective domestic markets, Southwest and WestJet are increasingly looking abroad for additional growth.
Where to go
Despite being around nearly 30 years longer than its Canadian counterpart, Southwest hasn't needed to look internationally for continued growth as much as WestJet. With the Canadian market being about one-ninth the size of the U.S. market based on population, continued growth has pushed WestJet to launch flights to the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. Meanwhile, the larger U.S. market has provided plenty of room for Southwest's expansion, with flights to Mexico being available only through AirTran, which Southwest acquired in 2011.
Southwest is now busy making former AirTran routes into Southwest routes and recently announced plans to switch its international service in the Caribbean from AirTran to Southwest. While not brand-new expansion of the company's overall network, it does begin international service under the Southwest name.
Continuing in its own expansion, WestJet looked to Europe next, starting seasonal flights between St. John's, Newfoundland, and Dublin, Ireland. While transatlantic flights seem like a major increase in distance for an airline that previously kept to within the Americas, WestJet notes that St. John's is actually closer to Dublin than it is to Calgary.
Following WestJet?
WestJet has long been seen as a follower of Southwest by introducing the model of a low-cost carrier into the Canadian market. But as expanding airlines know, the domestic market can only fulfill growth plans for so long before international expansion is required. WestJet ran into this issue faster because of the smaller size of the Canadian market and began expanding internationally and across the Atlantic sooner than Southwest did.
Fleet management
Southwest and WestJet have taken very similar fleet management strategies, with both carriers having Boeing 737 variants as their only jet aircraft, allowing them to benefit from reduced maintenance costs and increased pilot flexibility. But WestJet is realizing it will need new equipment to compete in the transatlantic market on longer routes and has noted plans to introduce widebody aircraft within the next couple of years.
While having 737 aircraft as its only jets makes sense for a fleet flying within the domestic market and the Americas, transatlantic flights always always involve larger aircraft. Looking at how WestJet is adding wide-body aircraft for transatlantic operations, it wouldn't be surprising to see Southwest do the same once it decides to expand across the Atlantic.
Transatlantic expansion is probably at least a few years down the road for Southwest, since the airline is still working to restructure flights in Mexico and the Caribbean. However, if Southwest does decide to expand beyond the Americas, investors should keep an eye on what new equipment the airline buys.
Has the student become the master?
Southwest Airlines posted a remarkable record of growth and profitability from over the past few decades, and a similar strategy and performance by WestJet has led to frequent comparisons between the two.
But as Southwest has expanded within the domestic U.S. market, WestJet has sought opportunities outside its smaller domestic Canadian market. This has led WestJet to begin transatlantic flights and even discuss ordering wide-body aircraft for further overseas growth. So as WestJet expands beyond its home market, Southwest investors should watch to see what may lie ahead.

So for a little bit of fun I took a look at some of the comparisons between heat seeking missiles and applied those to heat-seeking innovation. Ok, I know a little "left field" but it became interesting, so stay with me for a few moments of wanderings. Stretching your thinking around heat-seeking innovation So, I'm stretching our thinking, ignoring much within the design of heat seeking missiles but looking at some of the commonalities that are surprisingly around us in different ways when we need to build into our innovation capability, building for future innovation, to respond too in far more smarter ways. Can you see these commonalities? Heat-seeking innovation relies on piecing together considerable data, rapidly absorbing the individual values to 'react' to the unfamiliar and continue to manage the constant and familiar.

Summertime and the going is great!
The time of year teachers and their families anticipate with eager and open arms. A time to rejuvenate and look forward to lazy days. A time to look forward to that lounge chair and a great book to read – non issued school book.
Sounds great and don't we all wish that were true.
The reality of the situation is that most educators have a primary life. Cleaning cupboards, ousting archaic clothes, painting that garage door which should have been done last year, planting that garden that will yield vegetables to supply a meager table, in all spring cleaning that takes place after everyone else has done theirs.
So far, I think most, even non-teachers, can identify with the list of chores facing everyone during the summer hiatus.
So when does the holiday – 8 week holiday – come into perspective? A mere dot on the kitchen calendar that pinpoints "start holiday" and a little further "school starts".
This is not doom and gloom. After all when would all the little jobs get done if not for the 8 week break? Taking days off to tend to the minutia of daily chores is usually not on the menu of the average teachers. The time invested in planning for a day off and the time invested in recuperating that lost time just don't measure up on the scale of time management. So that pretty much leaves it to the summer not so lazy days of summer.
However there is a way to appreciate those days and negate the feelings of resentment towards those who insist that the days are actually "freebies". What do they know anyhow?
I wake up each morning and repeat my saving mantra: I am on holiday; I am on holiday.
Next I take a look at the sundry school papers and books accumulated in the family room, living room, spare room, playroom, and yes even the kitchen counter – all awaiting my perspicacious eye to delve into the mess and delete it from visibility so that I may actually tackle the real world.
Once this latter is accomplished and "I promise to do it before September rolls around" I can actually enjoy the leisure time with family.
So here goes:
Tackle the first:
Repeat after me: I am on holiday; I am on holiday
Then take one garbage bag and place in a strategic place – preferable right in the middle of a room – this will help to remind you and at the very least – embarrass you when friends drop by for coffee. If you truly commit yourself to the task – it will go faster and you will clear the space. Take a picture and place it in a strategic place – you'll want to stare at it when the going really gets tough in February.
Once the vestiges of school disappear, you will be on holiday – like everyone else. Tackle those tasks left for summer; enjoy the lounge chair with your name on it and read that trashy book that you will never talk about in public. It is your holiday and it is your holiday and it is your holiday.
Really decide that this year it will be a holiday. Take a trip, even a day trip will make you feel that you are on holiday. Take the kids out – a change of pace from the ordinary will make everyone truly appreciate the holiday. And – above all – throw away that calendar with "School starts" mark.

I have a pfSense box setup as the firewall/router/VPN appliance at my colo.
Once I VPN into the colo (either pptp or openvpn, pptp preferred due to multiple clients and ease of configuration), I am able to hit all my servers by their private 10.10.10.x ip and am able to browse the public internet without issue.
When I try and hit the URL of a domain hosted by one of my servers, I am prompted for credentials. If I login using the pfSense credentials, I'm connected to pfSense as if I'd used it's internal IP. If I hack my hosts file to point url -> server private IP it works fine, but this is obviously not a good solution.
To recap: not connected to VPN -> www.myurl.com works connected to VPN -> www.myurl.com never makes it to the correct server, but is sent only to the pfSense box
I'm sure it's something small that I've missed in the pfSense config.

Closets aren't what they used to be. Today's walk-in closet may have as much space as a small room and be outfitted with built-in shelves, a seating area and an area rug like those in Shaw Floors' Modernworks collection, which complement hardwood floors beautifully.
While they are still essentially storage spaces and not livable rooms, closets have gone well beyond the functional needs for which they're intended. Making the fixtures, built-in features and lighting attractive as well as useful is as popular as it is in any other room in the house. In short, walk-in closets can have more in common with dressing rooms than mere storage areas.
There should be sufficient places to hang outfits where they can be seen as whole ensembles paired with jewelry, shoes and other accessories. Having clothing hooks and cubbies to keep handbags and scarves readily at hand also helps. A jewelry compartment that allows pieces to be organized will make selections easier when an outfit is being pieced together.
Floor to ceiling
Before choosing that contemporary or traditional area rug comes the selection of a wood floor that will set the tone for the whole atmosphere for the dressing area. Anderson's Rideau Plank maple hardwood flooring, for instance, works well with a host of trims and paint colors that bring out the best of its wood tone.
Lighting is just as important. Having both overhead and task lighting will aid homeowners in seeing the colors of their wardrobe pieces accurately in both daytime and after-dark illumination. If the room design allows a skylight to be installed, it will bring in sunlight as well.
Function in style
Putting on a pair of shoes is much easier when there is a place to sit down. If there's space, bring in comfortable seating in a style that fits with the wall colors and wood tones of the closet and add some attractive pillows for back support.
It should go without saying that a mirror is needed, but if there's room for more than one to accommodate different angles, homeowners will feel they've been transported into an upscale fashion shop. Mirrors also make any room look larger and reflect light throughout the space.
Clothing and wearable accessories should take precedence over room accessories in a walk-in closet. If items are arranged by color, they'll not only make outfit selection easier, but this may also be a creative statement in itself.

Mike Males, c Youth Today, November 2001
Americans' horrified revulsion at the World Trade Center/Pentagon airline massacres included concern over how help young people deal with massive tragedy. As initial shock at the attack yields to sober reflection, it is evident that adults react to extreme stresses in the same extreme ways we so often condemn in youths.
Polled by CBS News after the attack, 70% of American adults said killing innocent victims (and 60% said killing "thousands of innocent victims") is acceptable to avenge terrorism. Clearly, this sentiment reflected immediate grief and rage, not our normal values. Still, if a grieving gang leader, after murderous attack by a rival gang, advocated killing innocent people in revenge, authorities would brand it proof of the rash violence of modern youth.
Ironically, a recent Alfred University survey found seven in 10 students believed school shootings are done to avenge bullying by jocks and popular students. The Columbine shooters and WTC terrorists didn't just express an opinion; they plotted brutal carnages and carried them out. That's what makes the few mass murderers so different from the millions of us whose anger doesn't lead to slaughter.
Missing that basic distinction, Alfred psychology professor Edward Gaughan declared, "in the average high school of 800 students, nearly 100 kids have the potential for violence, and as many as 20 of them may be considered high-risk for shooting someone at school." His survey numbers projected 2.8 million violence-prone students, including 500,000 at "high-risk" to perpetrate shootings.
So, how many real school shootings did Gaughan's report uncover? Eight in the last two years. Statistically, "500,000" is different from "eight." Gaughan's 99.8% false-positive embarrassment stems from common anti-youth stereotyping that fails to recognize that even the angriest, most alienated half-million teens are utterly unlike the one in three million who shoots up a school. That same difference exists between the 60% of grownups expressing survey support for killing innocent people in vengeance versus the very rare Timothy McVeighs who do kill.
Commendably, even amid crisis, most Americans rejected any notion that terrorist attacks represent "Islamic violence;" linking evil traits to entire demographic groups is bigotry. Why, then, do we accept equally prejudicial terms like "youth violence" (featured yet again in October's "Student Pledge Against Gun Violence") or "youth hate crime" (a National Crime Prevention Council title)? Just as very few Moslems are terrorists, only a tiny fraction of youths commit gun or hate crimes.
Or, consider the example set by America's prominent moral preachers and "values" politicians, who ceaselessly berate young people for accepting their peers' bad values. Yet, how many high-level virtuists forthrightly condemn their own powerful peers' immorality? In 1996, Madeleine Albright, then U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, told CBS News the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children from American Gulf War bombings and embargoes were "worth it" to achieve victory. I make no excuse for the unconscionable WTC attack to suggest that widespread Middle Eastern outrage at Albright's callousness was completely understandable. Not so the silence by America's normally loud moralists.
Or, amid Americans' heartfelt outpouring of compassion for 9-11 victims, how do we explain the House of Representatives' vote to slash $1 billion from programs to treat victims of child abuse? Legislators excused the cuts to free money to fight terrorism (and, incidentally, preserve hefty tax cuts Congress awarded billionaires).
No need for young people to sort out such cynical moral expediencies; they get the big principles. In peacetime and crisis alike, we teach them that certain innocent victims don't merit attention, certain population groups don't deserve fairness, certain violent atrocities don't get condemned, certain moral lapses (such as by you young people) get zero tolerance while worse evildoings (such as by us powerful folks) enjoy infinite indulgence... and who said life is fair? That adults successfully pressure youth to give up high ideals as they grow up, Franklin Roosevelt said 65 years ago, is why the world gets better so slowly.

College Hockey:Special Teams Just That For Engineers
Three Straight Specialty Goals Help Rensselaer Put Away Quinnipiac
TROY, N.Y. — Tied 2-2 in the second period, the Rensselaer Engineers scored three consecutive special-teams goals to put away the Quinnipiac Braves, 6-3, Saturday evening.
Down 2-1, the Engineers knotted it up halfway through the second period when Nolan Graham scored his second of the game. The Braves tried to fire the puck around the far boards to clear it, but Francois Senez kept the puck in at the far point and carried it down the boards, where he fed Carson Butterwick. Butterwick then one-timed a pass out front to Graham, who one-timed it high over Quinnipiac goaltender Justin Eddy.
The Engineers then scored the aforementioned three straight specialty goals, starting with a shorthander from Andrew McPherson. Matt Murley went in hard on the forecheck and took the puck away from Eddy, waited and found McPherson streaking in and hit him for a one-timer which McPherson rifled into the net.
"That was a great shift to turn it around," said Engineer head coach Dan Fridgen. "I thought Matt did a great job of staying with it; he didn't rush it … Mac came down to support him, he made a great play and that set them back a little bit. They were on the power play and they had the momentum, and we just rolled from there."
Quinnipiac was then whistled for two simultaneous penalties, resulting in a five-on-three power play. The Engineers didn't waste any time taking advantage as Butterwick scored 13 seconds after the play started.
Murley tried to blast a shot from the right circle, but he broke his stick and the puck trickled to the front of the net. Butterwick was there, and he redirected it past Eddy for the goal.
"I thought the backbreaker was the five-on-three power-play goal where [Murley] breaks his stick and it goes to Butterwick in front," said Braves head coach Rand Pecknold. "Everyone is trying to react to the puck coming in and it goes in at 20 mph rather than 60 mph. But those are the breaks."
With one man therefore out of the box, the Braves couldn't escape the rest of the power play as Steve Munn scored to make it 5-2. Munn got the puck from Jim Henkel and found plenty of real estate in front of him from the blue line. Munn walked right in and rifled a puck off the post and into the net behind Eddy.
Chris Cerrella got a breakaway goal to make it 5-3, but Butterwick scored into an empty net to seal the 6-3 win.
"It was very frustrating," said Pecknold about the game. "I thought we played hard and competed hard tonight. We played a thousand times better than we did against St. Lawrence and we came out of there with a tie and tonight we didn't get some good bounces."
The Braves did come out of the first period with the lead. They started the scoring as Brian Herbert took a rebound shot and put it off of Engineer goaltender Nathan Marsters for the 1-0 lead.
The Engineers tied it on the power play when Graham's shot caught a piece of Eddy and then trickled over the goal line.
But Shawn Mansoff scored with 25 seconds left in the first period to give the Braves the 2-1 when he came away from the boards with the loose puck and beat Marsters from the slot.
The Engineers then took over in the second period, scoring four times on only five shots.
"That was a team thing and it came from within," said Fridgen of the second-period outburst. "I didn't have anything to do with it, I addressed them at the end of the first period and that's it. I just let them work it out and they did a good job of it."
"We played well tonight; our power play didn't click but we played well," said Pecknold. "Last year when we played RPI, they beat the living daylights out of us — it was 6-4, but it wasn't that close. Our program has come a long way since then, and it's come a long way since the St. Lawrence-Clarkson weekend. It's great to play teams of this caliber."
"We certainly didn't have a stellar first period; we did a good job of regrouping in the second and kept coming at them in the third," said Fridgen. "We won two periods out of the three, losing one and that's a good weekend. We played five out of six periods this weekend and took three of four points."
The Engineers (6-3-1, 1-2-1 ECAC) travel to Yale and Princeton next weekend while the Braves (9-3-2, 7-1-1 MAAC) play at Union Sunday night.

DURANGO – Colorado School of Mines' men's soccer team squared off with fierce rival Fort Lewis Sunday afternoon at Dirks Field in Durango and with neither team willing to budge, the Orediggers and NSCAA No. 22 Skyhawks settled for a 1-1 draw in double overtime.
Mines moved to 3-1-2 overall and 0-0-2 in the RMAC with its second consecutive 1-1 result, while FLC picked up its first tie of the year and now stands at 4-1-1 and 1-0-1, respectively. The draw was the first between the two teams since the RMAC Championship on Nov. 7, 2011 when the Orediggers claimed the title over the then-ranked No. 23 Skyhawks in a penalty kick shootout (7-to-6) following 110 minutes of scoreless play.
After a scoreless opening frame, Casey Dean opened the scoring for the Skyhawks 11:36 into the second with a sliding score at the top of the box off a pass from Alberto Capdepon.
Less than a minute later at the 57:05 mark, Mines was the beneficiary of a foul in the box, allowing junior Tesho Akindele to connect on the PK, his conference-leading seventh goal of the season.
As the final score indicated, the contest was quite balanced as Fort Lewis held slim margins in shots (17-to-15), SOG (8-to-6) and corners (5-to-4). Senior keeper Manville Strand collected seven saves, including one in the closing seconds of the second overtime to preserve the draw and move his season mark to 3-1-2.
Mines continues RMAC action at home next weekend as Metro State visits at 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technology allows events captured by sensors in machine devices to be communicated directly with each other through wireless and/or wired systems and processed by the machine devices without human intervention. With worldwide expansion of wireless networks information can be exchanged between machine devices much easier and faster at lower cost. M2M technology opens unique opportunities to businesses as well as consumers on cost reduction and services improvement. It holds huge potential for applications in a wide range of industries.
Over the next few years there will be a huge increase in the number of machines enabled by M2M technology. The development of wireless M2M networks supporting machine devices in that scale is pivotal to the success of M2M. Sensor nodes in wireless M2M networks could be connected by a wide range of wireless network technologies including cellular networks, WPAN, RFID, Wi-Fi, Wimax, and satellite networks. However, these heterogeneous network technologies combined with the low-power machine devices and diverse QoS requirements of M2M applications present big challenges to the wireless M2M networks, including support of possibly huge number (up to billions) of M2M devices, supporting a wide range of M2M applications with significantly different traffic patterns and QoS requirements, supporting different types of sensors with low power and low mobility.
These challenges are not so often faced by general wireless sensor networks and can cause problems on almost all layers of wireless M2M networks. To ensure success of M2M applications under these challenges, many issues remain to be solved for wireless M2M networks. For example, wireless M2M networks need to consistently provide reliable communication services (in terms of effective QoS and security) for the M2M applications. Scalable, smart, and adaptive protocols and algorithms should also be designed and implemented for M2M networks as the networks are more likely to malfunction without human intervention. These protocols and algorithms should intelligently adapt to dynamic network environments characterized by a large amount of low-power M2M devices, heterogeneous networks with limited bandwidth, and many coexisting applications with diverse QoS requirements.
This special issue aims to gather researchers and engineers from different relevant areas, such as wireless sensor networks, RFID, WPAN, cellular networks, and smart grid, to present the latest research on wireless M2M networks. Thirteen papers have been accepted in this special issue. They are mainly focused on four different research areas: (1) tackling the challenge of supporting a large number of M2M devices by developing advanced wireless communication technologies to improve network capacity; (2) design and analysis of wireless channel access and resource management for M2M applications which have specific QoS requirements; (3) energy efficiency issue and scalability issue of networking/topology control; (4) scalable network architecture and flexible resource description that can be used for M2M networks.
The paper "On the achievable user number of the downlinks in cellular-based machine-to-machine communications" by Y. Li et al. is concentrated on analyzing the number of M2M users that can be admitted into cellular networks with certain preconfigured QoS.
In the paper "Distributed energy-efficient topology control algorithm in home M2M networks" by C.-Y. Lee et al. a distributed energy-efficient topology control algorithm was proposed to enhance energy efficiency and prolong network lifetime.
The paper "Energy-efficient chain formation algorithm for data gathering in wireless sensor networks" by S.-J. Lim et al. investigated chain-based routing protocols for improving energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks.
The paper "An energy-efficient and fault-tolerant convergecast protocol in wireless sensor networks" by T. Yang et al. explored the hyper-graph theory to compute energy efficient data delivery for convergecast applications over large scale WSNs.
The paper "Collaborative relay beamforming strategies for multiple destinations with guaranteed QoS in wireless machine-to-machine networks" by D. Wang et al. studied the amplify-and-forward (AF) relay beamforming to guarantee the QoS requirements of M2M devices. Two iterative strategies were proposed to jointly optimize the source antenna selection and the collaborative relay beamforming weights.
In the paper "Resource description language: a unified description language for network embedded resources" A. C. Santos et al. proposed a resource description language that represents a uniform way of describing embedded resources, which can contribute to overcome performance issues in dense or highly dynamic M2M networks.
In the paper "Service-oriented radio architecture: a novel M2M network architecture for cognitive radio systems" X. Dong et al. proposed a flexible M2M network architecture, which can be used for the development of cognitive radio networks.
The paper "A dynamic pricing scheme for congestion game in wireless machine-to-machine networks" by Z. Mao et al. developed a distributed dynamic pricing scheme for wireless M2M networks with objective of minimizing the maximum latency over all source nodes, in which routing congestion was formulated as a dynamic game.
The paper "Optimal routing control in disconnected machine-to-machine networks" by Y. Wu et al. investigated incentive policies for optimal routing in M2M networks which may not be always connected.
The paper "Adaptive message rate control of infrastructured DSRC vehicle networks for coexisting road safety and non-safety applications" by W. Guan et al. is concentrated on the QoS provisioning in vehicle network for both road safety and non-safety applications. Adaptive rate control schemes were proposed to improve the system performances.
In the paper "Distributed beamforming for relay assisted multiuser machine-to-machine networks" C. Chen et al. developed distributed algorithms for relay assisted beamforming, by which each relay node individually learns its own beamforming weights with local channel state information (CSI). Two suboptimal relay beamforming schemes were proposed that only require local CSI to minimize mean square error (MSE) for all the users with non-orthogonal channels.
The paper "Multilayer orthogonal beamforming for priority-guaranteed wireless communications" by J. Xie et al. studied efficient spectrum sharing between M2M devices and normal mobile users over cellular networks. A multilayer orthogonal beamforming (MOBF) scheme is proposed by which frequency resource could be efficiently reused by both normal mobile users and M2M devices, and QoS of normal users is not affected by the admission of M2M devices.
The paper "Investigation of uncoordinated coexisting IEEE 802.15.4 networks with sleep mode for machine-to-machine communications" by C. Ma et al. investigated the impact of uncoordinated operations on the QoS performances of coexisting IEEE 802.15.4 based M2M networks.
The thirteen papers included in this special issue presented the latest research on both protocol design and theoretic analysis for wireless M2M networks, which are based on various wireless communication technologies (e.g., cellular networks, wireless sensor networks, DSRC, and IEEE 802.15.4). We hope that this special issue can help readers to get a better understanding about the breadth and depth of the current research on wireless M2M networks and boost further research and practical developments in the field of wireless M2M networks.
The Guest Editors would like to thank all the authors for their contributions to this special issue. Our special thanks go to all the reviewers for their hard work in providing timely responses and constructive comments. We also thank the journal editorial staff who provided great support to us on this special issue.

what happened to Google links disavow tool?
View Single Post
Invasive contributor
I understand what you are saying, and that once google has followed a link it is difficult to tell it not to follow it any more.
Google will at some time revisit the pages where the links are placed, and will attempt to follow the links from that page. But it is after all only a machine, and although it may have followed the link before, having now made it a 403 if it tries to follow it again it will find it broken.
I have a number of pages on my site which are now 404 because I have deleted them. After trying the links to them a number of times Google will eventually de-index them. The same theory applies for 403, except that instead of de-indexing the page the links are pointing to, it can only de-index the link itself because it does not now know where the page is.
This theory may not work, but the point is that we are very limited in what we can try to do to disconnect our sites from links that could potentially be detrimental. I have not found any evidence that this kind of action can cause any harm, so for me it is a case of doing something rather than nothing and if it helps then it is a bonus.

It was only a few weeks ago McLaren's rejuvenated Derby side were pushing for an automatic promotion place that would see them rejoin England's top flight, 7 years after recording the worst points total in Premier League history. Recent results however have seen their hopes of avoiding the play-offs look increasingly slim with the Rams only picking up 2 points in March so far. The game against 2nd place Burnley away was always going to be tough and was made even more of an uphill climb with Chris Martin's sending off reducing the away side to 10 men before the break. I'm sure that no-one was hitting the panic button at that point with Derby's form being generally very impressive. You wouldn't have predicted that result at Burnley would be followed by a shock 1-0 defeat against Millwall at home, and two bore draws against Bolton and Reading to follow.
They have simply not been scoring enough and it's not just in march this has been the case. They may have won all three games before the trip to Burnley but each of those was a tight 1-0 victory. Now while the realist will say 'a win is a win' and that the 3 points is the most important thing, it's becoming very noticeable that one of the highest scoring teams in the Championship has now only scored 3 goals in their last 7 games. It can't be said it's due to lack of opportunity as a lot of Derby's build up play of late has been at a very high standard, but they've just been lacking that final ball or that finishing touch on enough occasions. Not the greatest run-in to what is always one of the fiercest games of the season for the Rams as they host local rivals Nottingham Forest.
However it's not all doom and gloom. In the last few matches Derby may not have been anywhere near their best going forward, but they have remained relatively solid at the back. Richard Keogh's return after short injury spell and Jake Buxton's outstanding form this season give a real sense of solidarity in the centre. Derby will be hoping the passion of this old rivalry with inspire them to rediscover their attacking form and sink a similarly struggling Forest side.
With 10 games left Derby would surely need to win every game and still rely on a series of Burnley slip ups to have any hope of automatic promotion. It seems almost guaranteed that Burnley will hold on to that second place spot and unless Derby break out of this bad run, they might find themselves going backwards in the table instead. One thing's for sure, Saturdays game against Forest is set to be a big one.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is an Galaxy S4 with an IPS screen, lesser camera, larger bezels, physical buttons, and who knows what else has changed. its hardly an S4 anymore.
There's a good chance the display is even sharper than the one in the regular S4.
the regular S4 has a pentile amoled screen, but I recall reading somewhere that the active has an LCD screen which most likely has the standard RGB layout.
I think this phone can actually make more people swim regularly :)

Fit Mama
Saturday, September 21, 2013
So, I'm sure anyone who has been online today has seen the outrageous photographs of the fit mama, lifting weights while 8.5 months pregnant. Poor lady has received quiet the backlash over this. I haven't even read the actual article, or seen the actual video, I have been too caught up in the comments....the supportive and ignorant comments.
It does seem like most of the folks, from the links I have looked at (MSN.com and ABCNews.com) are on the side of the fit mama. She is doing what her body did pre-pregnancy, and she was given the okay by the medical professional helping guide her through her pregnancy. Pregnancy is not a time to start any vigorous routines, however, it most certainly is not a time to stop either. It is not a time to sit on your butt (unless you have been restricted for medical reasons) and eat for two (or three or four). It is not a time to be lazy and make excuses that you are pregnant and you need to rest all the time. Woman up!
During pregnancy, and child birth, and immediately following we do many things that can create an undue risk to our babies.......
For instance, when we drink soda and eat high sodium foods (or other bad for you foods) that creates undue risk....
when we allow ourselves to be induced and use drugs to ease the pain that is natural to experience, this is creating an undue risk......
when we mutilate the genitalia of our infant sons.....undue risk.
So, lifting some weights? Get over it.
When I was pregnant with my son I had an instructor tell me to not lift my arms over my head. Ignorance.
I had my (then) OB tell me I couldn't nurse my older child and try to conceive, that I would have to wean. Ignorance.
I was (morbidly) obese before, during and after my pregnancies. Yet my pregnancies were very healthy. My BP was awesome. Blood sugar great. I ate good foods. I exercised. Assuming that my size would have rendered me infertile and or high risk was ignorant of my first OBGYN. I actually didn't find a worthy doctor until my second pregnancy, the third OB I went to, and he was awesome.
So, anyway, I think this is a good reminder for us (as a society) to remember that when it comes to a woman and her pregnant body, unless what she is doing is illegal, it really isn't your beeswax and the world wide web has a plethora of other more news worthy items to get your panties in a bunch over.
Way to go, to all those fit mamas out there who have chosen to not use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy. For each woman who chooses to be a delicate flower while pregnant, with no good cause, I am sure there is a woman on forced bed rest who is mentally giving you the finger.
Now, isn't there some debt ceiling or impending war to read about online?

Deadly Waynesville intersection had $1 million in safety improvements
WAYNESVILLE, Ohio - The intersection where a married Indiana couple died Tuesday has a deadly past.
"We had seven or eight fatalities in a one-year period in '96-97 (along Route 73)," Warren County Engineer Neil Tunison said Wednesday.
So the county and communities along Rt. 73 focused on four main intersections that needed overhauling.
The county spent more than $1 million to try to make it safer at Rt. 73 and Township Line Road, where Tuesday's accident happened.
They raised the Rt. 73 11 feet to increase visibility.
"It Improved it quite a bit, but it's still pretty dangerous," said Tim Huber, who lives nearby.
But Huber's wife Vickie says the county went too far when it removed double yellow caution lights and replaced them with double stop signs on Township Line Road.
"They made it less dangerous, but when they removed the light, we feel that they removed the warning for people coming down Rt. 73," she said.
Police say a Leesburg, Ohio, woman caused Tuesday's deadly accident because she didn't stop at the signs.
She could face vehicular homicide charges.
While Warren County built the project, it belongs to the Ohio Department of Transportation. If residents want a traffic light, they have to petition the state, Tunison said.

Hi Shannon,ReplyDelete
I hope you feel better soon!
I met you in Feb at the Sisters Market and have been checking your blog regularly.
I just thought I'd let you know that I was in Ikea the other day and noticed some wooden coat hangers near the checkouts. I think they were called "Bumerang". They might not be exactly what you're looking for but thought I'd let you know anyway :)
Cheers, Susan
Thanks Susan : )ReplyDelete
I could cover all 4 walls in my bedroom with the amount of IKEA wooden hangers I have : ) They are so great and super cheap! I might have to use some of them and try that stamping project.
Cheers, Shannon.
commiserations about your ill fated day off. hopefully the bugs will leave you alone after this. hope you get well soonReplyDelete
you mean i shouldn't be going outside in my PJ's? :PReplyDelete
get well soon. :)
It's new fabric so of course I suggest you make a run for it! Hope you get better soon.ReplyDelete
It's dark now, so if you haven't already - go! get it! (Make sure you put a scarf around your face, though!)ReplyDelete
You poor thing Shannon. Get well and enjoy that new fabric when you get your hands on it.ReplyDelete
I hope you get well soon! It's illegal to be sick in the weekend when you should to enjoy your life.ReplyDelete
Have a nice weekend despite the flu. Tomorrow will be better, trust me:)
Hope you're feeling better...Tam xoReplyDelete

I am a psychologist and would be happy to give you some basic advice. Can you elaborate on the types of physical problems you have been experiencing? It would help me to know what you are referring to because some physical problems are connected to mental health issues. Any additional information would be helpful. Have you been to see a therapist?

I have lost so much of my hair, my feet are numb, my gums are white at my teeth, my mouth inside is numb, my tongue, my teeth feel funny,my bowels do not work correctly(I do not have bowel movements unless I take fiber and when I do they are very stringy and it takes forever to clean myself up), My medical doctor says he does not know what it can be. All my blood work came back normal twice. I do not have a sensation when I try to urinate - he just says I'm one of a kind. The psychiatrist that I was seeing will not talk to me or see me becasuse I attempted suicide last March and wrote a suicical note in July. There is no other Dr. but one where I live and he is not seeing new patients. My psychiatrist would get angry with me when I would complain about my symptions, and said I just worried and fretted too much and was bringing it on myself. I am not a hypochondriac - I have not thought about these things happening to me. Please help me ! I get worse every day. I know I have been very stressed out a lot
replied 7 years ago.
The symptoms you are describing are either indicative of some type of neurological problem or may be the reflection of psychological distress. The
is disconcerting, but it sounds as though the medical examination came back good. Have you been to see a neurologist? If not, I strongly suggest you find a neurologist and make an appointment to discuss the numbness. If the neurological examination is clear, then it would seem to be related to psychological conflict. When people experience extreme emotional distress they can actually develop physical problems. These physical problems may not have a physical origin, but a psychological one. In fact, the symptoms you are describing are pretty consistent with what is called somatization or conversion disorder. I know that you have said several times that you are not a hypochondriac. It seems like you really want to believe that something physical is causing all of your problems. Some of my clients have developed physical complaints in response to extreme stress and conflict. If you do not have a neurological problem, then your symptoms are generated by psychological conflict of which you are not fully aware. Let me stress this...JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT THESE PHYSICAL PROBLEMS HAPPENING, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE NOT ORIGINATED IN YOUR MIND. I am going to suggest that you go to see a clinical psychologist...not a psychiatrist. Seek out some support and psychotherapy...this may help you reduce your physical problems. I'm sure that is your goal, so I believe this is the next step. Get a neurological exam and make an appointment to see a clinical psychologist.

The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council announced on Wednesday, Feb. 26 that it has scheduled two public meetings.
The council plans a workshop to discuss how climate change is affecting East Coast fisheries. The event takes place starting on Wednesday, March 19 at 1 pm and concludes on Friday, March 21 at 12:30 pm. For details, see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-02-26/html/2014-04183.htm.
It goes on at the Westin Washington DC City Center, 1400 M St. NW, Washington, DC 20005.
All the eastern fishery management councils will attend to see how they can work together to further study and act on climate change.
And the day before the meeting, the council's Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Advisory Panel and its Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Advisory Panel will meet. This meeting takes place by webinar on Tuesday, March 18 from 1 to 4 pm Eastern Standard Time.
For details, see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-02-26/html/2014-04185.htm.
The public can listen in.
The panels will discuss modifying the Scup Gear Restricted Areas through Framework 8 to the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan.

With summer amongst us and numerous reasons to go outside in Michigan...maybe it is a good time to create moments on character building and teachable moments that influence the way our children perceive life.
So many of our kids are hurt and/or very angry from their past and present situations. It is very challenging just to transition to a new season or time of the year.
Here are a few tips for the troubled moments:
- Make a jar of treats to use when things seem like a "bum" time - have child say one thing that is a positive (or a negative to talk through) and use the treat to remind them of how awesome they are doing!
- Design a time line that goes up with each passing season of change (or accomplishment) - showing that this child's life is n the "up and up".
- Find a favorite spot to go to discuss favorite memories - maybe make a scrapbook for them!
- Find a friend to help who is going through something your child has already gone through - summer is a great time to bring friends together.
- Inherit a stray cat _ or mentor someone else's pet! Helping an animal often is great therapy for our own souls.
- Put a marble in small jar each time your child makes an awesome choice or overcomes a typical problem creator - fill it up and go for ice cream or rent a movie!
Looking into the upcoming school year...these ideas can be useful for other transition times. Write this Examiner with more of your own ideas to share at email@example.com.

Morning glory, Ipomoea, is a beautiful hardy annual climber native the rainforests of South America. Violet-purple, trumpet-shaped blooms contrast with rich green foliage in summer. Morning glory is easy to raise from seed and grows quickly, making it perfect for growing up obelisks, growing through shrubs and trees, and filling gaps while perennial climbers become established. The flowers open wide in the early morning sun but are short-lived and will not last into the afternoon.

Scary to think that you are all wrong
Forgive your everlasting childhood

I have a pony that has a bad reaction to her booster injections. At first I thought it was the make of vaccine. However, it happened twice. So last time she needed her booster, I hacked her and her mother (who didn't have a bad reaction) to the local vet surgery. They both had their injections and then walked home again. I had no problem this time. It may be, that she needed to be walked gently to dissipate the vaccine though her body. Whatever, I saved my call-out fee. That is fine if you only have a mile or so to hack to the vets!
19 July 2012 08:23
None of mine have ever reacted to their vaccs, be it tetanus or flu, although my friend's mare sometimes gets a bit off colour after the flu vacc. However the way I look at it is any side effects will be short lived and wear off, contracting the disease won't be and often results in death, so it's a small price to pay really. I always just leave my horses in the stable or field once they've been done though, I don't ride them that day.

Judith Trotter and Marie Brown, National Order of Merit
On the 25th of March 2010, the Ambassador of France, Mr Michel Legras, had the pleasure of awarding the National Order of Merit to two great friends of France, Ms Judith Trotter and Ms Marie Brown.
Judith Trotter can proudly look back on a brilliant career at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (from 1965 to 1998) where she served both at home (economic division, Americas division) and overseas (Athens, Bangkok, Singapore, France, Canada and Italy).
She formed a special link with France and the French language during her term at the OECD in Paris, then as New Zealand's Ambassador to France from 1987 to 1992. As an adept of the French language and culture, Ms Trotter worked tirelessly at improving relations between the two countries. After a last posting as Ambassador to Italy, she chaired from 2002 to 2008 the France-New Zealand Friendship Fund which was created in 1991 as part of the settlement of the Rainbow Warrior dispute. Its aim is to finance projects which will help understanding between the two nations.
Ms Trotter is also a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit which she was awarded for her diplomatic services since 1996.
Marie Thérèse Brown's whole career has been dedicated to the teaching of French and music. She has been teaching both subjects for 25 years, after obtaining her BA in French and completing her studies at Auckland Teachers College.
In Wellington she alternated choir teaching with regular cello playing with chamber music groups, like the Wellington Chamber Orchestra, and piano concerts. It is undoubtedly in the area of choir singing that Ms Brown is at her best, gaining a strong reputation in the capital and its surroundings, after having successively led groups like the Wellington Youth Choir, the Orpheus Choir, or more recently the Wadestown Singers and in the area of sacred music, the Metropolitan of Sacred Heart Choir.
At the same time Ms Brown was always available to support French culture in New Zealand, as a teacher of French and French literature from 1977, as a member of the Alliance Française of Wellington from 1986, as a member of its board in 2001, as the secretary of the Federation of New Zealand Alliances Françaises from 2002 to 2005, and especially as president of the Alliance Française of Wellington from 2002 to 2004.
In this last position, she contributed to the revival of the Alliance in the capital, a place which for Wellingtonians is like a little French island in an anglophone ocean. In 2006 Marie Brown received the award of Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques for services to the French language and culture.
On March 25th at the French Residence, to the guests' greatest pleasure, she led her own choir, the "Vivace" choir, into the singing of the French and New Zealand national anthems.

College Hockey:2009-10 Minnesota State Season Preview
Minnesota State has a tendency to be a very confusing club.
Two years ago, the outlook for the team was bleak, yet it turned in an impressive performance, finishing fourth in the league and just outside the NCAA tournament bubble.
Last year, the Mavericks returned much of the same squad and with that, had expectations for a similar season. Instead, they finished eighth (although, given last year, it was a close eighth) and saw their season end with a conference quarterfinal sweep by Wisconsin.
This year, what should we think? What should we expect? Given history, Troy Jutting's squad might just surprise us again. Whether they'll surprise us in terms of home ice come March is a different story, but it's a wonder what a coach can do with a veteran hockey team.
To do that, though, they'll have to find a way to put a full weekend together — the Mavericks swept just two conference series last year and three total weekends and got three points an equal number of times. They'll also need to produce more, as they had only three players broach the 30-point mark, and even then they barely hit it.
Up Front
The Mavericks lost their leading scorer, Mick Berge, to graduation and another top player in Trevor Bruess to early departure, but they still have a decent amount of players who can contribute offensively and lead on and off the ice. That leadership starts with MSU's six senior forwards.
"It's a group of kids that have really grown together. We have six senior forwards and it's been a long, long time — I don't know that we've ever had that in my 20 years of coaching here," said Jutting. "I think they all bring a little something different to the table … they're all kids that get along really well and they've all played significant roles for us, really, since their freshman years."
The seniors he refers to are James Gaulrapp, Zach Harrison, Geoff Irwin, Kael Mouillierat, Jerad Stewart and Jason Wiley.
Beyond those seniors, juniors Rylan Galiardi and Mike Louwerse can be offensive threats and one should never count out junior Andrew Sackrison, although he has been streaky over his career.
In terms of freshmen, Jutting thinks that we should watch out for Tyler Pitlick, as he's going to be a special player.
On the Blue Line
When you think of "scoring defensemen" and "Mankato," the only name that will probably come to mind is junior Kurt Davis, who tied for the team's scoring lead last year with 31 points.
However, remember that although defensemen who score are nice, what's more important is defensemen who are solid in their own end. The Mavericks lost two such players in Blake Friesen and Brian Kilburg, but retain Davis, senior Nick Canzanello and juniors Channing Boe and Ben Youds.
In the Crease
Like a few other teams in the league, the Mavericks have a question mark in net as their goaltending duo of the past four years, Mike Zacharias and Dan Tormey, finally graduated last spring.
As a result, they'll have to look towards an unproven youth, whether it be junior Austin Lee or freshmen Phil Cook or Kevin Murdoch.
"We'll go into this season with three kids and not a second of game experience at the college level," said Jutting. "That being said, I like those three kids so far, but we'll kind of have to wait and see how that shakes out."
