The sampling kit was then stowed away. Leo's next NUTRITION/Repository activity will be his Flight Day 30 (FD30) session. (The current NUTRITION project is the most comprehensive in-flight study done by NASA to date of human physiologic changes during long-duration space flight. It includes measures of bone metabolism, oxidative damage, nutritional assessments, and hormonal changes, expanding the previous Clinical Nutritional Assessment profile (MR016L) testing in three ways: Addition of in-flight blood & urine collection (made possible by MELFI), normative markers of nutritional assessment, and a return session plus 30-day (R+30) session to allow evaluation of post-flight nutrition and implications for rehabilitation.) Additional Details: here....
Progress thrusters (DPO) were inhibited and not involved. (Crew activities focused on TORU activation, inputting commands via the RUO Rotational Hand Controller and close-out ops. TORU lets an SM-based crewmember perform the approach and docking of automated Progress vehicles in case of failure of the automated KURS system. Receiving a video image of the approaching ISS, as seen from a Progress-mounted docking television camera ('Klest'), on a color monitor ('Simvol-Ts', i.e. 'symbol center') which also displays an overlay of rendezvous data from the onboard digital computer, the crewmember steers the Progress to mechanical contact by means of two hand controllers, one for rotation (RUO), the other for translation (RUD), on adjustable armrests. The controller-generated commands are transmitted from the SM's TORU control panel to the Progress via VHF radio. In addition to the Simvol-Ts color monitor, range, range rate (approach velocity) and relative angular position data are displayed on the 'Klest-M' video monitor (VKU) which starts picking up signals from Progress when it is still approximately 7 km away. TORU is monitored in real time from TsUP over Russian ground sites (RGS) and via Ku-band from Houston, but its control cannot be taken over from the ground.) Additional Details: here....
STS-123/Endeavour (ISS-1J/A) lifted off spectacularly in darkness early this morning right on time (2:28am EDT) with all systems performing nominally, for rendezvous with ISS tomorrow (3/12, Wednesday) and docking at approximately 11:25pm EDT. The Orbiter is carrying the seven-member crew of Commander Dominic L. Gorie, Pilot Gregory H. Johnson and Mission Specialists Richard M. Linnehan, Robert L. Behnken, Michael J. Foreman, Takao Doi and Garrett E. Reisman. Reisman will replace LĂ(c)opold Eyharts as ISS Flight Engineer 2, who returns on 3/26 (nominal) with STS-123. STS-123 is the 122nd space shuttle flight, the 21st flight for Endeavour, the 25th flight to the station and the second of six Shuttle flights planned for 2008 (including the Hubble Service Mission 4). Its primary payloads are the 18,490-lbs Japanese Experiment Logistics Module-Pressurized Section (ELM-PS or JLP) and the 3,400-lbs Canadian Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) 'Dextre'. We are off to another great mission! Additional Details: here....
STS-123/Endeavour docked smoothly last night at 11:49pm EDT at the PMA-2 (Pressurized Mating Adapter-2) port, 24 minutes behind schedule (due to loss of target lock by the CW {Continuous Wave} laser of the Shuttle's TCS {Trajectory Control Sensor} during the manual rendezvous phase, requiring manual lock re-acquisition). The RPM (R-Bar Pitch Maneuver) started at 10:26pm and was successfully completed at 10:34pm, with Whitson and Malenchenko taking 200-300 close-up photographs of Endeavour's bottom heatshield. The station now hosts ten occupants again as Mission 1J/A is underway. (At the point of docking, Peggy Whitson rang the traditional ship's bell and announced 'Endeavour landed!' The combined crew is comprised of ISS CDR Whitson, FE-1 Yuri Malenchenko, FE-2 LĂ(c)opold Eyharts, STS CDR Dominic Gorie, PLT Gregory Johnson, MS1 Robert Behnken, MS2 Mike Foreman, MS3 Takao Doi (Japan), MS4 Rick Linnehan, and MS5/FE-2-16 Garrett Reisman who replaces Eyharts as FE-2, as the latter returns on the Endeavour as MS-5.)

>>>>Today at ~7:43am EDT, the ISS, specifically its FGB module, completed 53,500 orbits of the Earth, having covered a distance of 2.25 billion kilometers (1.4 billion st.miles) in 3411 days. The 19,300 kg (42,600 lbs) Zarya ('Dawn') was launched on a Russian/Khrunichev Proton from Baikonur over nine years ago (11/20/1998) as the first element of the multi-national space station.<<<< Additional Details: here....
Underway: Week 23 of Increment 16. (Yesterday, 3/23, was the birthday of Wernher von Braun who would have turned 96.)
ISS crew sleep/wake cycle today: Sleep 3:15am -11:45am; wake 11:45am -11:00pm.
After wakeup yesterday, FE-2-16 Reisman had his third session with the biomed experiment INTEGRATED IMMUNE (Validating Procedures for Monitoring Crew member Immune Function), collecting dry saliva samples. (INTEGRATED IMMUNE protocol requires the collection to occur first thing post-sleep, before eating, drinking and brushing teeth, and all samples are stored at ambient temperature. Along with NUTRITION (Nutritional Status Assessment), IMMUNE samples & analyzes participant's blood, urine, and saliva before, during and after flight for changes related to functions like bone metabolism, oxidative damage and immune function to develop and validate an immune monitoring strategy consistent with operational flight requirements and constraints. The strategy uses both long and short duration crewmembers as study subjects. The saliva is collected in two forms, dry and liquid. The dry samples are collected at intervals during the collection day using a specialized book that contains filter paper, all stored at ambient temperature.) Additional Details: here....

Miles Davis: Someday My Prince Will Come
Someday My Prince Will Come
Miles Davis (trumpet)
Someday My Prince Will Come (Columbia/Legacy: CK 65919)
Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums).
Composed by Frank E. Churchill and Larry Morey.
Recorded: New York, Mayrch 20, 1961
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Jazz waltzes were still fairly rare back in 1961, and Paul Chambers' pedal point intro keeps the meter a mystery during the opening seconds. Cobb is part of the conspiracy, and refuses to signal the downbeat, while Wynton Kelly floats over their throbbing pulse. These opening feints -- forty seconds of sweetness and light -- are worth the price of admission alone . . . but then Miles enters and shows how he can put his stamp on a song just by playing the melody. His solo is a minimalist canvas, perfectly matched by Kelly's crisp comping. The swing gets stronger with Mobley's tenor and during Kelly's solo, but when Coltrane enters with his "sheets of sound" the temperature in the studio rises at least ten degrees. The handsome prince has arrived on a Harley, ready to burn rubber. But Chambers rushes back like a protective dueńa, instilling decorum with his pedal point, and this magical performance makes a complete circle back to its starting point. What a ride!

Every time, and really, it's never often enough, that I escape the ankle-deep slush and relentless face-paralyzing gusts of wind that New York City is so fond of thrusting at us for warmer climates, I'm always bewildered when I arrive. Wait, it is spring here? It's usually like this? Did the weatherman just say to take out your winter coat because it's going to be 50 today? And then, there's always the great undressing, so much less exciting than it sounds unless you were me on Saturday, stepping outside without a sweater, tights, tall boots, scarf, hat, gloves and thick down jacket for the first time in months, light as a feather, happy as a clam, albeit with the skin cast of someone who had just crawled out from under a rock. Ah sunshine. How we've missed thee.
Savannah and Charleston were as pretty as could be. We spent from Saturday through Monday afternoon in Savannah, and until Tuesday afternoon in Charleston. It didn't give us time to do "everything" but we felt like it was more than enough. We're not big on guided tours or museums —troglodytes, indeed—we just want to wander. In Savannah, we walked through all 24 squares on Sunday, and I took a picture of a leaf, flower, path, sculpture or fountain in each one and in Charleston, we walked up and down the river and wandered through the old, pastel-painted neighborhood. 177 pictures later, I need a nap, but that has more to do with the unplanned Orlando leg of our trip home than the torture of sifting through sparkly, leafy pictures.
The Good:
The Eh:
The Kick-Ourselves For Not Getting There's:
Alas, we've been home less than 24 hours and already gone out for a birthday dinner and missed many hours of sleep, all of which means no new recipes for you! For me! At least not today. I hope to be back in the swing of the things shortly, as I have a blissful Southern-inspired recipe I'm tweaking just for you. I mean, us. Until then, I will do my best to lure that great thaw a few states north.

Field Sobriety Tests
You probably will be asked to exit your car and perform some field sobriety exercises.
The officer may even try to get you to do some exercises before you get out of your
car. He may try to get you to follow his pen with your eyes either before you get out or
after. It is not the law in Ohio that you have to perform any of these roadside exercises.
They are entirely voluntary on your part. It is best that you politely decline to submit
to these "tests". Some of these tests are governed by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration and must be given in compliance with their directives to be valid.
However, proving whether they were given and scored correctly is nearly impossible
after the fact. And since the officer is the only one doing the grading and he has usually
already decided that you are under the influence, you are not likely to pass these tests in his eyes. Why play a game you can not win or prove you won if you don't have to play.
Many of these exercises are difficult for people with certain prior injuries or ailments.
Vision problems, balance problems, certain kinds of shoes, being tired, and the general
conditions of the testing area all can effect your ability to pass these exercises even
without any alcohol involved. Politely decline to perform these tests.
Can You Do the time?
Do you want these?

I love that look on your face when the coin drops -
The Universe"
....all I'm going to say is this:
Thank God you posted this today. It's been A WEEK.
I come here for a lot of reasons, but a " Sanity Break" might be in the top 3.
You Rock.
Lisa - Thank you for "sanity break," for sometimes I think it might be the opposite. Or the whackadoodle break. I feel considerably less out alone in the tall grass, where I was willing to be, but good company is so much better. xo
Wherever you go, there you are.
Laoch - As it has always been, as it will always be.
I am happy you have decided to look at another approach. The old one may have been very wearing on your soul. It reminds me of yoga practice. On particularly hard poses or ones I never liked, instead of moaning to myself, or wondering how long this would last, I said, "surrender".
This from a dedicated control freak - worked wonders....
practicing my stink eye for the panhandlers and pickpockets on the metro today.
Denise - Wishing you and your stink eye well on the metro. When, over time, a desired result is not reached, time to try something new. My head, the brick wall, too familiar. I'm glad to hear of your success. Talk about being a stranger in a strange land. xo

Pippa Middleton's foray into the literary world continues, as she signs up to write a column in Waitrose's monthly magazine.
17:03, UK, Monday 25 February 2013
Pippa Middleton is to offer culinary tips as a columnist for Waitrose, despite heavy criticism of her debut book about party planning.
The Duchess of Cambridge's sister will write for the supermarket chain's monthly magazine, sharing "casual dining ideas and recipes" in a column called Pippa's Friday Night Feasts.
Advice published in her 2012 book Celebrate - intended to be a guide to entertaining throughout the year - included using "sharp-bladed scissors" to cut wrapping paper.
A guide to organising a sack race explained how "players start jumping in their sacks towards the finish line", while advice on Christmas catering suggested turkey could be on the menu.
The author Jilly Cooper was among those to criticise the content, describing it as "terrible".
Miss Middleton, who defended her book, insisting it had to "cover the basics", said she "can't wait to get started" with her new role.
"I'm delighted to be writing for Waitrose Kitchen, a magazine that's always been a source of inspiration to me for its extensive spectrum of food and beautiful style," the 29-year-old said.
"My column will be an exciting opportunity to share my own passion and enthusiasm for food and entertaining."
William Sitwell, editor of Waitrose Kitchen, said Miss Middleton will be an "excellent contributor to the magazine, bringing with her a wealth of experience of entertaining".
"Readers will love her relaxed and easy entertaining ideas which will help with the preparation for all sorts of occasions," he added.

Normally, a Perfect Pairs post is all pre-planned. This Perfect Pair was founded by accident, though, and this accident brought about a pleasant surprise. First, I spotted these Lanvin Polished Leather and Satin Pumps on Net-A-Porter, and they're oh so lust-worthy. Between the fuchsia satin upper and the patent leather back, even I can be on board with this colorblock pump. As I continued my browsing quest, just like that, I saw the shoes' match made in heaven, the Edie Parker Cassette Glow-in-the-Dark and Pearl-Effect Box Clutch.
This ensemble is both sophisticated and playful making it appropriate for a lot of different evening outings. This Edie Parker nostalgic clutch will instantly attract onlookers, and you can converse about your favorite cassettes (mine, hands down, was the Spice Girls). Pair with a monochrome ensemble of either fuchsia or black which allows your pump and clutch to pop and make a statement. How you would pair this clutch and pumps?

Walgreen draws complex spread
Chris McKhann | firstname.lastname@example.com
optionMONSTER systems show that a trader first sold 5,000 January 60 puts for $0.77 and then another block of 3,000 for $0.74 a few minutes later against previous open interest of 6,914. At the same times, he or she bought 5,000 April 52.50 puts for the ask prices of $2.42 and then $2.30 in volume that was 10 times the open interest at that strike.
This initially appeared to be a roll, but with the additional volume in the January contracts points to a diagonal spread. In that case, the trader is using the sale of the nearer-term further out-of-the-money puts to help offset the cost of purchasing the April options. It suggests that the trader sees a floor around $50 for the stock through the end of the year. (See our Education section)
WAG is down fractionally to $56.64 reversing earlier gains this morning. The drugstore chain was trading at the $50 level a month ago.
About 20,000 WAG options have traded this morning, almost double its daily average already.

Attorneys for Elder Issues

Does anyone have recommendations for lawyers specializing in VA Benefits? I've heard that they are a ''different animal'' from Medicare. My dear parents-in-law have been aging at home & are now in their late 80's. My MIL has had dementia for a decade, & my FIL has been valiantly taking care of her with very little outside help. Recently there were health crises for both of them, & we all realized how bad the situation had become without us knowing, & that Mom needs to go into assisted living. They have assets, but with the cost of assisted living/in-home care, their assets could be exhausted in short order. Recommendations, & any other advice, would be welcome! Berkeley daughter-in-law
my deadbeat ''co-trustee'' brother has taken money for a third time from my mother's bank accounts. (she has dementia). i've called him on it each time, but he is verbally abusive, entitled and has not paid it back. think it's time to pursue having the court remove him as co-trustee if possible. i would like to keep drama to a minimum (in the interest of family relations...) so i want an attorney who knows their stuff but not neccessarily a pit bull. east bay preferred, thanks! ~tired of being the ethical one alone against the jerk
I have been successful in this area in the past, so I feel comfortable in saying that you're not necessarily looking for an elder law specialist. Rather, you need an attorney who is experienced with trust litigation in general, and with this sort of claim in particular. There are a fair number of us in the Bay Area -- you may want to look through the BPN archives, or look at the Nolo Press Lawyer Directory (www.nolo.com), to find someone who can help you protect your mother and retrieve your peace of mind.
Often a fiduciary, even a brother, can be persuaded to see the light and do the right thing without a full bore court trial; please contact me if you would like to discuss.
For some years, a close family friend who is an attorney has been serving as my mother's executor, trustee, DPOA and has held her medical directive. However, due to the highly dysfunctional, constantly combative relationship among her children, he has resigned the position. Now, we're looking to find a professional executor/fiduciary/lawyer to assume these responsibilities. We would greatly appreciate any referrals to and comments about appropriate resources, particularly if they are experienced in dealing with fractious families. Many thanks. anon
We are thinking of getting a conservatorship for my 95 year old father-in-law. People have been trying to sell him things and take his money. Does anyone know how much this should cost, if you are doing the conservatorship of the person and not the estate. We got an estimate that seemed high.
My 71-year-old mom has been the victim of a Nigerian scam that has promised a huge payout of $$ in return ''for just one more payment'' to cover legal costs of getting that payout. Over the last 2 years later, my mom has managed to lose her car, maxed out numerous credit cards, taken many payday loans, and is now losing her home. She still believes that the money is coming any day and she needs to keep sending some if she wants to get it. Since the FBI can't do anything about this matter, the only alternative is to stop her from sending what little money she has left to the scammers in Nigeria. I've tried to get a psychiatrist to fill out a medical evaluation so that I could apply for conservatorship. However, her doctor refuses. Now that she is losing her house, I've decided to pursue the conservatorship again. I want to manage her social security money so that she can actually pay her living expenses again. Does anyone know of a lawyer who has had experience with this same situation? She lives in Santa Clara County so I guess I would need to seek legal advice from an attorney who practices there. I'm also posting a similar post in the advice BPN. Anon.
The California probate code addresses the need for protection if an elder is unable to resist fraud or undue influence. See http://law.onecle.com/california/probate/2952.html
A conservatorship is an appropriate solution in your mother's situation. Although it is unfortunate that her doctors were unwilling to assist in the process, it is not very surprising. Many physicians are unfamiliar with the conservatorship process and their role in it, and are reluctant to enter a legal arena in which they lack expertise. There are, however, clinicians who can help, and you should consult with someone with expertise in this area. For instance, Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk of ElderConsult works with the San Francisco Elder Abuse Forensic Center, and is well-versed in issues of financial abuse and competency determination. Her phone is (650) 357-8834, with additional contact information at http://www.elderconsult.com/other.shtml
An East Bay attorney familiar with conservatorships is Margaret Hand (510) 444-6044. http://www.handlawoffice.com/conservator.htm She is a recognized expert in this area, but if she thinks you need someone in Santa Clara county can probably direct you to someone there. She also may have advice on who to consult for a medical exam.
Other resources to know about, for advice and/or referrals are the San Francisco Elder Abuse Forensic Team at 415.355.7002. In Santa Clara County, Adult Protective Services has a Financial Abuse Specialist Team. http://www.sccgov.org/
They may not be able to intervene in your mothers case, but if you are able to contact them (no info on how to do that on their web page!) they may have advice on local attorneys. ld
Can anyone give me a recommendation for an Attorney that deals with Elder issues? My mother and father live on the east coast, and they are both frail and deteriorating, and I would like to move them out to the bay area. Where might I get the best advice? Worried son
Need to persuade very aged parents to consult with
a lawyer to develop wills. Both are unwilling to
face this issue so (1) need advice on moving them to
consult with a lawyer and (2) recommendations for
a lawyer experienced with older folks in East Bay.
Son at wit's end

As Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. (ret.) Lipkin-Shahak emphasized continuing to build military power, improving security measures, increasing motivation to serve in the reserves.
The IDF's 15th Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. (ret.) Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, died today (Wednesday) after a long battle with a serious illness.
Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Benjamin (Benny) Gantz, the IDF's General Staff, the IDF's commanders, and IDF soldiers both in regular service and reserves salute the memory of Lt. Gen. (ret.) Amnon Lipkin-Shahak and send their condolences to his family. Lipkin-Shahak's funeral will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at 3:00 p.m. at the Kiryat Shaul military cemetery in Tel Aviv. The funeral will be held with full military honors. Lt. Gen. (ret.) Lipkin-Shahak's coffin will be carried by eight officers with the rank of Major General.
Lipkin-Shahak was born in 1944 in Tel Aviv. After finishing his studies at military boarding school in the year 1962, he enlisted in the Paratroopers Brigade. In 1965, he became a company commander in the newly established 202nd battalion of the Paratroopers brigade. As a company commander, Lipkin-Shahak participated in reprisal operations preceding the Six Day War. During the Six Day War, he served as acting deputy battalion commander. After the war, Lipkin-Shahak took command of the Duchifat unit of the Paratroopers brigade and participated in Operation Inferno, where he was awarded the Medal of Courage for his leadership and courage under fire.
After graduating from the Command and General Staff School in 1971, he was appointed battalion commander of the Nahal Airborne Battalion. Under his command, the battalion took part in many operations, mainly in the area of Lebanon. In April 1973, as a part of Operation Spring of Youth, he assaulted terrorist headquarters in Beirut, and was decorated with a second Medal of Courage for his leadership in action. During the Yom Kippur War, he served as deputy commander of the Paratroopers Brigade and fought in the battle for the Chinese Farm, contained Egyptian forces at Ismailia, and defended the Sinai desert. After the Yom Kippur War, he was assigned as the operations officer for Central Command, and was sent to the U.S. Marine's general staff command course in the United States.
In 1976, Lipkin-Shahak was promoted to Colonel and became head of the reservist Paratroopers Brigade. In 1977, he was appointed the head of the regular Paratroopers Brigade. During this period, the Brigade took part in several operations along all of Israel's borders, including extensive operations in Lebanon, taking part in Operation Litani across the border. After finishing his term as commander of the Paratroopers Brigade, he was appointed as a commander of a reservist armored division, and in 1982 became commander of the Steel Formation. While serving as the Division's commander, he served as the commander of the Beirut region of Lebanon after the First Lebanon War.
In 1983, Lipkin-Shahak was appointed as the Head of Central Command and was responsible for fighting terrorism in Judea and Samaria. From 1986 to 1991 he served as Head of Intelligence, and during those years worked at strengthening Israel's deterrence, fighting terrorism, and towards the end of his term, prepared the IDF during the developments that led to the Gulf War. In 1991, he was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff, and during this role served as the commander of Operation Solomon, which brought 15,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel.
On January 1st, 1995, he was appointed to Chief of Staff of the IDF. During his term as Chief of Staff, he continued to build Israel's military power, improved systematic preparations for security measures during peacetime, placed an emphasis on cultivating soldiers as people, and worked to increase the motivation to serve both in regular service and in the reserves. He also focused on maintaining the separation of the military from politics and strengthening the relationship between the IDF and the people. He completed his service as Chief of Staff in 1998, and retired from the military after 36 years of service. He was a graduate of the National Security College and Tel Aviv University's graduate history department. He was married with five children.

Parliament of Australia

My Parliament
You are here:
On Sunday 10 July 2011, the Australian Government released the Clean Energy Plan, a package of measures that includes a Carbon Pricing Mechanism. The policy is the outcome of several months of consideration by the Multi-Party Climate Change Committee (MPCCC), which was established after the 2010 election to determine key elements and complementary measures needed for an Australian carbon price. The scheme, to start in 2012, borrows some definitions and decisions of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme but outlines a new emissions trading scheme starting with a three-year fixed price term. The policy's development was based on information provided by the Garnaut Climate Change Review Update, and scientific advice provided by expert advisors to the MPCCC. Over the coming days and weeks, the Parliamentary Library will be publishing FlagPosts on specific issues relating to the Government's proposed carbon pricing scheme. Useful information and background on climate change can also be obtained from the Parliamentary Library's climate change website. Stay tuned...
Flagpost is a blog on current issues of interest to members of the Australian Parliament

Hello! demon-runner gave me my 100th llama a little while back, thus evolving it from albino to super albino, and as a thank you I promised to feature her works! ^^ She is a very talented photographer, and aside from the works shown here I really recommend to give a check to the rest of her gallery also!
(Now I kinda wish I could show thumbnails
oh well :'D)
So here goes!
fav.me/d4a1cvq - All of those water droplet macro shots are beautiful, but I really like how clearly the colors come forth in this one.
fav.me/d4n689m - Stanley looks absolutely darling, the expressions are captured really well.
fav.me/d2ro3xa - Glowing things in the dark = gorgeous! I love the reflection on the floor in this one.
fav.me/d4mm4h5 - Black and white photos tend to tell a story even the photographer didn't perhaps thin of, and this one has a sense fo depth I can't really put my finger on, and it truly intrigues me.
fav.me/d4lo6xz - The idea in this is very interesting, telling quite powerfully about the modern society which dwells in electronic world instead of real human contact. Well to me, at least.
fav.me/d4c0sgn - The colors are absolutely dashing and the focus just perfect.
fav.me/d31l3s4 - The sky really is beautiful, and the silhouetted branches give it some nice contrast.
fav.me/d2y3irr - I like the idea, there really should be more reflected photos.
fav.me/d2w6lmd - A dashing shot of how wonderful nature can be.
Do check out the rest of her works too!

The gold-and-turquoise color combination always makes us think of a Key West beach - all glittering sand, beautiful blue water, and Jimmy Buffett. We could do without hearing "Margaritaville" for the eighteen-hundredth time, but we'll happily channel a little of that sea-and-sand spirit by way of these Corinne Heels ($328), with their spunky gold glitter on a background of soothing aqua suede.

Top Rated LANGUAGE LEARNING SOFTWARE
We have chosen Transparent Language as our top rated and best LANGUAGE LEARNING SOFTWARE product. Transparent Language had the highest ratings overall in Range of Languages, Features, Pricing, Ease of Use & Customer Support.
Read the Transparent Language Review or Visit http://www.transparent.com.
See above for our full LANGUAGE LEARNING SOFTWARE ratings.
What is Language Learning Software
Studying a second language will open up doors for you wherever you are. You will be able to use your learning experience in talking to other people who do not speak your native language. You may be able to learn places from this person where no tourists go somewhere safe and where decent locals hang out. A good language to learn is the language spoken in different countries like Arabic, Spanish or Portuguese. Most barriers for the languages of many countries may be removed by studying one language. Such language barriers may have the tendency of destroying a person's vacation in another country. For instance, if you get lost and no one can understand you, other people in the area may take advantage of you. There may be different regional accents, but you may be able to overcome all of these in a short period of time.
In today's advance technology, you may be able to learn another language by choosing the appropriate foreign language software that will be right and most convenient to your needs. The language learning software is a customized learning and gives you the freedom when you like to study the language at your own time and can be downloaded instantly into your PC or even a pocket PC thus giving you the freedom to learn. A level of interactivity is best offered and is not comparable with any audio course or book. The language learning software is the next best thing so that you may be able to practice the language with the native speakers that you are attempting to learn. Maybe you may like to consider some guidelines in choosing the foreign language software that is most right for you.
Your learning style should be taken into consideration. Assess whether you are learning better by seeing words or hearing them. Check yourself if you need examples of the rules of grammar or detailed explanation of these rules. Prioritization of learning needs is vital. Choose the software that is best for you so that you may be able to reach the fluency of the language desired someday. Decision whether you need to express yourself well or just a passive understanding should be weighed also.
Availability of the language learning software is also important. Search through the net, join forums on language learning online, or ask around like your teachers or classmates for any recommendation of the software programs. Make a shortlist of the programs and then make the proper investigation to obtain desired results.
Detailed reviews about the chosen software program may be researched through the internet. The process of interaction of each program, the audio quality, the type of grammar and vocabulary used, and how each language learning program will suit your personal needs should be considered. It is recommended to test the software first, so be sure to take advantage of any trial version offered by leading software programs. Check the program and work with this trial version to see if you may be able to learn anything.
List the advantages and disadvantages where all considered points while gathering information and the different opinions on the variety and user-friendliness of the software program are included. This way, you will have a good overview of each language learning program offered so that you can readily choose the most appropriate software for your needs.
Indeed, learning a different language using the most suitable language learning program aside from your mother tongue will pave the way for an overall new culture.

While we are extremely busy with our tax and accounting practices during extremely busy tax season, we must have many bitter experiences if we have something wrong in our infrastructure. Then the tax season concludes and we start thinking about getting our resources properly setup to remove those glitches. There are two major areas of concerns, tax and accounting software and associated infrastructure.
Tax and accounting software: These are the tools to make our process extremely faster and accurate. If we get an efficient piece of program, we get better results in our operation. Now a days, multi-user function, backup utilities and efficient printing are considered to be vital for any tax and accounting program. We must ensure that our tax and accounting programs are equipped with these features.
Infrastructure practices: If we have a tax and accounting firm, we must consider of using the service of any hosting provider to host our applications. Hosted application will remove all your headaches and will give you a very smooth working experience from anywhere and anytime. There are some other benefits as well:
1- Efficient multi-user access: While we use hosted application setup, our users can work from anywhere on a single accounting file or tax database. This increases the efficiency of our organization. This way, a CPA and his client can provide input without travelling.
2- No backup worries. Backup is an integrated part of any database or software program. So, while using application hosting service, we don't need to take care of nightly backups. The hosting provider will take care of this on our behalf. We can easily ask for the latest backup if we find some issues with working copy of database.
3- Technical support: Hosting providers generally have 24X7 technical support to help their users all the time. So, we will not need to stand up on the long queue on the phone with tax and accounting software vendor to get help. The application hosting provider has experienced persons to deal with any situation.
So, after assessing the ongoing season, we must get ready to shape-up our resources in the perfect place to get our next season excellent.

Bardsley goes under the knife
by Stuart Vose
Operation for injured defender.
Martin O'Neill says Phil Bardsley will be ruled out for a number of weeks after undergoing surgery.
The defender picked up an ankle problem in the early stages of pre-season training and hasn't featured at all during Sunderland's pre-season schedule.
But the Stadium of Light boss says there's better news regarding Stephane Sessegnon, who trained at the Academy of Light on Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile Wes Brown and David Vaughan – both injured in pre-season – are also making progress.
"Phil Bardsley has had an operation," O'Neill said. "That's a real blow for us.
"Stephane has done a little bit of training this morning, and hasn't felt any effects.
"He hasn't been able to do that much but in the course of the next few weeks in terms of the sort of fitness level that he can attain, we hope he gets there pretty quickly."
He added: "Wes Brown is feeling a bit better but obviously getting a bit annoyed that injuries have plagued him.
"David Vaughan's making progress and he had an operation on his side to cure a problem and he's making good progress out there on the training field, but hasn't joined in with us yet."

300Bs and Lowthers - for ever together
One for our resident expert/jeweller... (pls).. My wife's watch had the sapphire crystal literally fall out after only being a year old (it had actually cracked radially around the perimeter, and left a ring of glass in the bezel) and hey presto 4 months later it's cracked again, straight across the middle of the face..
Now this is an expensive dress watch that only gets worn a couple of times a week, and while the mfr is replacing it foc, I'm wondering if the case is properly 'square/round', or could it be a faulty batch of crystals - they apparently only make a few hundred of these a year...
Been a while since I have posted on the wam, been busy with work and other aspects of my life (all good mind )
One thing I have been busy doing is buying watches
Top left to right: zenith manual wind 1970's, omega manual wind 1940's, tissot automatic modern, junghans automaitc modern, seiko automatic 300m divers modern, wenger quartz modern
Next row: jaeger converted drivers pocket watch 1920's (just jaeger before he joined lecoultre), cyma www manual wind WW2, nomos club manual wind modern, sinn u1 1000m automatic modern, rolex manual wind 1954, omega megasonic not quartz and not a traditional tuning fork movement 1970's
Tissot tianium quartz modern, tissot quartz modern, grandads 1960's accurist manual wind
Citizen solar powered modern, timex POS, casio g-shock, tissot quartz
Got a fair few on my wish list at the moment, need to clear out most of the quartz watches to replace the spaces in the box.
Anyone else got anything interesting lately?
Still working in Lewes Dom?
...I went to a funeral, which was very sad, and then I popped into Hi-fi Serious, to pick up a top of the range Bang & Olufson stereo system...
I got me one of these as I wanted one for a while as my daily wear to replace a 1980's TAG.
Still got the TAG after 30 years.
Bought one of these a couple of months ago...
Nice one Dom

H.R. 4855 Work-Life Balance Award Act
Your assistance is needed to urge your member of Congress to support this Act as it makes its way to the House floor tomorrow June 15 2010.
This bill introduced by Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Workforce Protections would create a work-life balance award within the DOL. This award would recognize employers who developed and implemented innovative policies that allow their employees to achieve a work-life balance. An advisory board of nine members will determine the selected recipients of the award.
SHRM (the Society of Human Resources Management) supports this bill as they believe it will focus on those employers who are getting it right for employees. The Act sheds light on the importance of work-life issues of employees and rewards those organizations who have developed solid flexible workplaces.

Company officials say Ford Motor Company will slow production at its Louisville Assembly Plant, which could lead to job cuts.
The plant produces two of Ford's flagship vehicles, the Explorer and Explorer Sport Trac.
Workers who have been considering buyout offers from the company have until next week to make up their minds. If enough workers take the deal, plant manager Joe Bobnar said there won't be a need for cuts. He made the statement in a letter to employees.
There are 3,200 hourly jobs at the plant. Ford spokeswoman Anne Gattari said details of a slower assembly line aren't final.

'Man of Steel' offers an event movie that's actually an event
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 4:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 4:16 p.m.
With the universe of DC Comics now under the supervision of Christopher Nolan, the DC films have completely established their radical tonal difference from Disney's Marvel films.
Want to See?
• 'Man of Steel' is directed by Zack Snyder and stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Christopher Meloni and Richard Schiff. It is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language.
• It is rated three stars out of four.
• Now showing at Cinemark Tinseltown USA in Salisbury; the Grande 18, Carmike Wynnsong 12 and Carmike 10, all in Winston-Salem; Regal Palladium Stadium 14 in High Point; and The Grand 18 Four Seasons, GrandLuxe Theatres, Cinemark Brassfield Cinema 10, Carmike 18, Regal Greensboro Grande Stadium 16 and Carousel Cinemas, all in Greensboro.
• Check out the movie news link under Entertainment at www.the-dispatch.com for show times and more information.
Whereas the Marvel films are bright, colorful and fun, the DC films are dark, gritty and brooding. While Nolan did not take the director's chair for Warner's Superman reboot, "Man of Steel," the aesthetic he brought to the "Dark Knight" films is back once again, establishing a link with between the worlds of Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne.
Stepping in as director is Zack Snyder ("300," "Watchmen"), a director whose stylistic ticks and favorite themes I've never particularly been a big fan of. While Snyder's darker sensibilities are a perfect fit for Nolan's new direction for DC, he has actually managed to set aside some of the slow-mo/speed-up techniques that he has leaned on too heavily in the past. In short, "Man of Steel" is a triumph.
Strangely enough, "Superman" may be one of the brightest, cheeriest superheroes of them all, protecting "truth, justice, and the American way" in the city of Metropolis. An alien from the planet Krypton, young Kal-El (Henry Cavill) was sent to Earth to escape his own dying world by his father Jor-El (Russell Crowe). But General Zod (Michael Shannon) and his army, the lone survivors of the planet's destruction, have pursued Kal-El to Earth, where he was raised by human parents in the town of Smallville.
This isn't just a personal vendetta against Kal-El, however. Zod plans to recreate Krypton on Earth and mine Kal-El's DNA to repopulate the world, wiping out all of humanity in the process.
The plot is very similar to Michael Bay's "Transformers 3," but Snyder lends the film more gravity and emotional weight. Superman as a character has always been a bit one note — how interesting can you make a man who is essentially perfect? But here, he is a man in search of an identity, a man caught between two worlds who doesn't fully belong in either, persecuted by those who fear what they do not understand. Snyder structures the film around a series of flashbacks, which could have been tricky but instead help to build the character of Clark Kent in an emotionally satisfying way.
What seems to fascinate Snyder the most, however, is the iconography of Superman as a cultural symbol. The film treats him with a certain sense of awe and respect that befits a legendary hero of his stature. It's essentially a two and a half hour tribute to Superman, filled with bruising action set pieces and lots of flashy special effects.
Yet despite its scale, Snyder manages to keep things grounded, much the way that Nolan did in his Batman films. "Man of Steel" isn't quite on that level, but Snyder consistently reminds us that what we are watching here is the birth of a legend. He balances the action with some nice character moments, mostly from the supporting cast which includes powerhouses such as Crowe and Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Clark's earthly parents.
It's strange watching a Superman film without John Williams' iconic theme, but Hans Zimmer charts a new course for the series with a thundering soundscape that finds optimism amid darkness. That is perhaps "Man of Steel's" greatest achievement. It is a tale of triumph amid tragedy, of larger than life heroes grounded and humanized, searching for themselves and their place in life just like one of us. "Man of Steel" is an event movie that is actually an event, a thrilling spectacle that hints of great things to come in the franchise's future.

Springfield- The 2008 presidential candidate for the Constitution Party was in Bay County Tuesday night to speak to the Bay Patriots group. About 200 people gathered at the Springfield community building to hear from Dr. Chuck Baldwin.
Bay Patriots say they want to see our government abide by the principles of the constitution and they endorse the idea of smaller government. Baldwin says the movement is growing, "I think we are recognizing the fact that the big government folks working in Washington DC today are not doing so for in the interest of freedom and liberty. They seem to be doing so for the interest of big government and big corporatism. I think people are recognizing if they don't get back to a constitutional government we are not going to have our freedoms much longer."
The Bay Patriots meet monthly and have roughly 350 members. They say the goal of their group is to educate people on the US Constitution.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Earl Breuer takes life one day at a time, as he has every day for the past 35,724 days.
The Brookings man turns 98 today, and plans to go out to dinner to celebrate. He might drive to the restaurant, as he still holds his license. And while the nonagenarian uses a cane to get around, he doesn't wear glasses, or sport hearing aids.
"I have no goals to be alive tomorrow, or live to be 100 years old or anything else," he said with a broad grin and a hearty laugh. "Just live life one day at a time."
His first day of life was Sept. 29, 1914, when he was born in Myrtle Point. Although interested in high school education and political science, he eventually found himself working as a dairyman, making cheese, ice cream and other "solid-milk" products.
He spotted Margaret Templeton when he was taking a break outside a dairy factory in Eugene.
"It was one of those beautiful days you only get on the coastal mountains of Oregon," he said. "I saw Margaret and asked her younger sister, 'Who in the world is that beautiful girl? I've got to meet her.'"
Knowing Margaret loved to dance – and even though he couldn't have cared less about the activity – he attended one in hopes of meeting her. Later, she met Breuer's parents, he proposed and "she foolishly accepted," he said, again laughing. They wed the following year.
Breuer moved the family to Brookings in 1951, and acquired Seaview Dairy on the current site of the humane society on Railroad Street. It represented a new challenge for the young man.
"I didn't know anything about fluid milk," he said, "except that it came from cows." He ran the facility for 32 years.
At the time, Brookings – which incorporated in 1951 – was home to about 1,000 people. Chetco Avenue was the only paved road in town. Timber and lily bulbs provided the economic backbone. A railroad, appropriately, ran down Railroad Street. Banking was conducted in Gold Beach, over Carpenterville Road.
Breuer remembers the grocery store, dry cleaners, Shell gas station, theater, two taverns, restaurants, the hardware store and the huge diesel engines that furnished electricity for the town. He remembers names, too: Elmer Bankus, Hagen, Baker, Manley, Bob Dimmicks, Akers, Fred Fox and Roy Brim.
It was Dimmicks who challenged him to run for city council, a post Breuer held from 1955 to 1959. He only quit because of his work at the dairy.
"I started to realize I needed to spend more time with the business," he said, "or my partner was going to shoot me."
While on council, he spurred the effort to get the city's wastewater treatment under control.
Wastewater was run down redwood logs and dumped onto the beach below Tanbark Road, he said, adding that the water was "sometimes … well, it was pretty discolored."
And construction was about to begin on houses across the street from the current Dairy Queen site.
"They weren't allowed septic tanks (because of the lot size), he said. "We were behind the eight-ball. We had to have a sewer system in before people started living there. They put a tank in there; to this day, I don't know where they hauled it."
He negotiated the purchase of the sewer system, as it was, from Bankus – and then only because an attorney in Grants Pass had a summer home in the Brookings area and "signed, sealed and delivered" the transaction while Bankus was out of town.
"So you see why at the end of my term I was desperate to get off council," he said with another laugh. "But we had a water treatment facility."
Breuer served on the city's budget committee for three years in the early 1960s, and later the planning commission, on which he served for 29 years.
His favorite stories come from that time period.
Rumor had it that the parking meter supervisor loved to fish. And if the game warden wasn't around to tag the man's two-fish-limit catch in the morning, he'd return to sea again that afternoon. And he was "very efficient" about his parking meter duty, Breuer said.
"That didn't set well with Wilma (Kemp) and her taverns and her beer drinkers," he said, adding that word on the street was she threatened to turn him into the game warden if he didn't lighten up. He apparently didn't, and she ran for mayor on the platform that she'd eliminate the parking meters. She kept her promise.
Another issue involved the teenage girls who boarded at a house between the Parkview Care Center and the Nazarene Church. Their horses were stabled in the area, as well, and residents didn't like the smell of manure.
"We had people from both sides – people from as far away as Salem," he said of the turnout for that debate. "We tabled it until the next meeting, and the next meeting it was more of the same, so we tabled it to the next meeting. … Cowards that we were.
"We dumped it onto the city council without any recommendation," he continued. "And the city council, being the cowards that they were, they decided that there would be no horses on the ocean side of the highway after dark. It was humorous, and it was serious."
He solved an argument about which street a corner greenhouse faced by relocating the front door on the side of the building that faced another street.
"I got the nicest letter from that gentleman," Breuer said. "It made my 29 years all worthwhile."
Breuer was 68 when he left the dairy business.
"I love Brookings," he said. "I love to be close to the ocean. I've been here 61 years. I like the people here; I'm a people-lover.
And while he admires the strides the city has taken, he feels citizens need to carefully monitor the resources that make the area what it is.
He's concerned about the fish and believes city water users should start using its gray water. He also thinks better marketing could increase activity at local state beaches, the golf course and fishing streams. He has his opinions on taxes and is impeccably knowledgeable about local issues.
"I'm perfectly sold on Brookings," he said. "Brookings is the gateway to the beautiful Oregon coast – the gem of the Oregon Coast. Gold Beach, Bandon, Port Orford, Coos Bay – none of them compare to Brookings. We need to promote it. It might make some others up the coast a little irked at us, but so what. I think Brookings has a future.
As does he, Breuer said, by taking it one day at a time.

James' Grand Slam Lifts No. 19 Texas Tech Past Evansville, 5-1
March 12, 2011
LUBBOCK, Texas - Sandy James' grand slam in the bottom of the third broke a 1-1 tie and lifted No. 19 Texas Tech to a 5-1 win over Evansville in the first game of a split doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Rocky Johnson Field.
With the win, Texas Tech improved to 26-1 on the season while Evansville fell to 3-12.
The Red Raiders found themselves trailing when they came to bat in the bottom half of the third inning, as the Purple Aces had jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top half of the frame. Tech answered the scoring by Evansville four at-bats into the frame when third baseman Emily Bledsoe laced a game-tying RBI single to center that scored Mikey Kenney. Kenney reached on a one-out single and moved to third on a single by Stephanie Drewry.
Tech got all the scoring they would need in that half inning as Cydney Allen would draw a walk in the next at-bat to load the bases for first baseman Sandy James. James then blasted a grand slam home run over the fence in center field to give the Red Raiders a 5-1 advantage.
Tech pitcher Brittany Talley held Evansville at bay the rest of the game with three shutout innings to seal the win. Talley went the distance allowing just one run on four hits and struckout five in seven innings of work to improve to 9-1 on the year. Samantha Meyer was tagged with the loss for Evansville as she surrendered all five runs on 10 hits and two walks over six innings.

Street Maintenance
Routine maintenance of roadways is essential, efficient and cost-effective to sustain streets in good condition. The following high-quality maintenance programs are aimed at extending pavement life and improving levels of roadway serviceability on over 6,700 lane miles of roadway within the City limits.
Resurfacing Operation
Public Works, Street Maintenance maintains all public streets and Right of Ways (ROWs) within the City of Memphis limits. This includes the evaluation and selection of such streets as candidates for resurfacing. The Street Maintenance Department administers a Resurfacing Management Plan (RMP) to keep track of the resurfacing needs within the City of Memphis. This plan highlights streets that need resurfacing within a 5 year timeframe.
All streets receive a periodic evaluation for resurfacing needs. These streets are inspected and assigned a condition and urgency rating. The ratings are then entered into GIS street database. These ratings prioritize the streets and furthermore determine which streets will be added to the Resurfacing Management Plan.
Resurfacing is a process that typically involves the removal and replacement of the top 1.5 inch layer of asphalt. The goal in providing this service is to ensure the integrity of the street surface in accordance with acceptable standards and to extend the useful life of the street.
Funding for the Street Maintenance resurfacing operations is obtained from the City's Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Budget.
**In order to better manage pavement assets, the City of Memphis currently implements a "No Cut Streets" rule that prohibits the cutting of streets paved within the past 3 years.**
Pothole Patching
A process routinely used to repair minor irregularities in pavement surfaces. These irregularities can cause hazardous conditions and, in most instances, require immediate attention. The City of Memphis Street Maintenance repairs over 50,000 – 60,000 potholes yearly within city limits.
Full Depth Patching
Involves repair of compromised structural soil base, which include removing and replacing of backfill, before final surface asphalt is placed. Similar procedure is involved when repairing damaged underground infrastructure.
Public Rights-of-Way Maintenance
The City of Memphis Street Maintenance will trim overhang trees into public rights-of-way that may hinder driving and pose hazards to the community. Street Maintenance also removes fallen trees blocking public streets that prohibit continual traffic flow for public use. Street Maintenance also repairs damaged guardrails, and administers litter, grass/weed and graffiti control within public right-of-way.
Snow & Ice operation (anti-icing and de-icing)
It is the goal and intent of the City of Memphis to provide a timely, efficient, and cost-effective winter maintenance program. The City's Snow & Ice Operation keeps bridges, overpasses, and inclines/declines on major thoroughfares in drivable condition. To have an accurate understanding of this responsibility, Public Works, Street Maintenance maintains an accurate listing by route of all the qualifying locations which are inspected and treated during snow & ice events. These routes encompass the entire City and segmented geographically.
The city's primary focus during inclement weather periods is to first treat major streets with inclines/declines, as well as any bridges and overpasses. Secondly the city will treat the remaining major streets on an as needed basis. Hospitals, police and fire precincts will get special considerations during inclement weather conditions.
The City has two primary methods for snow and ice control, anti-icing and de-icing. Anti-icing is the application of salt brine to the road surface prior to inclement weather. The intent of this action is to prevent the bonding of the snow or ice to the road surface. De-icing involves the placement of salt combined with abrasives to the road surface once inclement weather conditions have started. The intent of this action is to remove snow and ice from the road surface.
STP/ARRA Repaving
Public Works, Street Maintenance performs preventative maintenance and overlays of streets through use of Federal Transportation Funds when available. The City strives to make as many improvements as possible under State and Federal guidelines for the grant to the extent that the funding allows.
