On white complacency, black death
In the wake of the failure of grand juries across the country to indict the officers who killed Eric Garner and Michael Brown, a heated conversation has taken hold of the American people. A conversation about the indefatigable pattern of black death by white hands in this country. A conversation about who "deserves" to live and who "deserves" to die and when. A conversation about our country's history - a history of dehumanizing and enacting violence against black and brown people. And all across the country white people are defending the system, ignoring black death, and cooperating with the state-sanctioned genocide of black people.
There are also white people, however scarce, who are doing their own inner-work and attempting to engage other white people about how to be not only an effective ally but a dutiful member of the human race. These people are alarmed and insensed at the way in which white America has shirked its responsibility to humanity and to justice. These people believe whites must end their loyalties to the institution of whiteness or accept their complicity in a murderous system. These people believe that white complacency is white complicity and that white silence means black death.
One such person locally is Maria Peeples. Maria is a Milwaukee-based radical activist and poet. She works with city teenagers and is especially interested in the role that language plays in shaping our politics and building community. Today I am honored to share with you her open letter to her fellow white Americans during this time:
"Fellow white people,
This country has sold us a notion of individualism that makes us believe we should only care for our own homes, our own lives, our own families. That we have the right to be comfortable in public space, too. That it belongs to us. That we somehow earned it. That we shall have it, at all costs.
I'm watching you drive to work and not notice the blood of children on the sidewalk. Your ears aren't ringing even as 12 year old Tamir's mom buries her baby. He isn't your baby. You haven't been taught to be afraid of burying your baby like that. I'm noticing the way you do not flinch when that fellow white co-worker says that thing you know is wrong but choose not to challenge. I also see the way you tuck your children in at night. I know that you love them. I know that they are not you, yet. I know they still have empathy. I know they still notice when someone is alive and then they aren't and wonder why nobody is asking about the absense.
Because of this, the NYC Christmas tree should not be lit without disruption. The Bucks game should not be played without disruption. You shouldn't be able to make your morning commute in any city in this country without disruption. We shouldn't be comfortable. We shouldn't get to spend a day forgetting. We shouldn't get to spend a day going to the grocery store and then going home and then waking up the next morning not noticing who did not survive. Not carrying their names in our mouths. I am not saying anybody should be devoid of joy on purpose. I'm saying living in a community means we are part of demanding it for EVERYBODY, or we should be faced with the reminder of the death that our silence has caused everywhere we go.
Shut it all down. Shut it all down to the ground. Nobody deserves the convenience that white amerikkka keeps asking for when they ask for peace as their white rage/complacency/entitlement/silence kills. I understand that it is difficult to comprehend that these systems we have been taught are here to protect us are here to do exactly that. To protect us. To protect whiteness. At all costs. But I want you to see that a loyalty to whiteness that keeps asking for our silence in the face of Black death is murdering people. Is murdering people. Is murdering people. Is murdering people."
"Until the killing of black men, black mothers' sons, becomes as important to the rest of the country as the killing of a white mother's son, we who believe in freedom cannot rest until this happens." -Ella Baker
Michael Brown and the capitalist campaign to devalue black life
Putting words together around this is going to be hard for me.
By now, most folks know that on Saturday, August 9, 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, by a local police officer.
Michael was walking, unarmed, to his grandmother's residence with 22-year-old friend Dorian Johnson when, according to Johnson, a police car approached and the officer instructed the two young men, who were walking in the street, to "get the fuck onto the sidewalk."
Johnson relays: "[The officer] tried to push his door open … but it bounced back to him… He reached his hand out the window and grabbed my friend around his neck… The officer's pulling him inside the car and [Mike]'s trying to pull away."
"[The officer] pulled out his weapon. His weapon was drawn and he said 'I'll shoot you' or 'I'm going to shoot' and in the same moment the first shot went off, and we looked at [Michael] and he was shot. There was blood coming from him. And he took off running…"
"[The officer]'s weapon was already drawn when he got out of the car. He shot again and once my friend felt that shot he turned around and put his hands in the air and he started to get down on the ground but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several shots."
Piaget Crenshaw, a neighbor and additional eyewitness to the incident, said, "[The officer]'s chasing Michael full-forcedly down the street and gunshots are being fired repeatedly as well. I saw Michael… hands in the air, being compliant. He gets shot in his face and chest, goes down, and dies."
These details are being disputed by the St. Louis County police, but regardless of what led up to the incident, the result is the same as in the many similar, preceding cases: the death of a young black person at the hands of the authorities. »Read Full Blog Post(33)
Milwaukee Solidarity with Palestine on Mandela Day and forever!
Happy Mandela Day!
For those who don't know, Mandela Day is an internationally recognized day named in honor of Nelson Mandela and unanimously endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly. It takes place on Mandela's birthday each year, July 18, and was inspired by Mandela's call, made in 2008, for the next generation to take the baton of leadership in rectifying the world's social injustices.
Today, in honor of Mandela Day, people all over the world will dedicate 67 minutes (symbolic of the 67 years that Nelson Mandela spent fighting for social justice) working for the good of others. But Mandela's work was not merely charitable in nature. It was political, and radical, and subversive. Mandela spent much of his life being punished by the law for attacking a system which is now universally seen as unjust- that of apartheid. »Read Full Blog Post(19)
Mary Burke: Cooperative promise or political posturing?
Part of my vision for this blog has always been to utilize it as a tool to amplify the voices of folks in the city with radical views.
Recently Zac Johnson, a Milwaukee community member and Michigan native who teaches fourth grade in the city, shared with me his views on the lack of attention cooperatives have received in the economic discourse of the gubernatorial race, particularly on the part of Democratic candidate for office Mary Burke. Zac himself is a member-owner and volunteer of several community cooperatives in his neighborhood of Riverwest. I'm proud and honored to share his opinion here, as I think he meaningfully emphasizes the economic and social importance of cooperatives, challenging Mary Burke to outline a plan to fulfill her promise to support cooperative development.
Hope you enjoy his great piece on this topic: »Read Full Blog Post(4)
Scarier than 'Slenderman'
Question for you: What do you make of the recent story of the ghoulish alleged act of these two 12-year old Waukesha girls? Just a strange anomaly? Another reason to be depressed and disillusioned about our country and the state of the world? Or is it an indictment of a system that reduces people to their value as productive units?
It's difficult to deny that contemporary culture emphasizes production, a workaholic lifestyle, rampant consumerism, and the worship of celebrity, wealth, and fame. Research calls the state of this culture a "crisis of desire" and links it to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and mass mental and emotional distress. Are Anissa Weir and Morgan Geyser's actions not a manifestation of the derangement, dehumanization, and disdain for human life which is the logical result of being raised in such a system?
Let's examine the psychological underpinnings of what these girls purportedly did in the context of the culture of excessive individualism and materialism. Basically, their logic was this: We want to be "in" with Slenderman. We believe we need to kill someone to prove worthy of him. We will kill our friend to acquire what we desire (which, ultimately, was some form of acceptance). According to this logic, these girls literally saw human life as transactional- a form of currency. Give a human life, receive admission to the club.
Worse still, affluence and privilege have been shown to beget an even more transactional view of human life. After all, the U.S. economy was built on a foundation of human lives as products and sources of income for whites (slavery anyone?), the prison industrial complex epitomizes the profitability of incarcerating people (black men disparately) for private profit, and human labor is to this day exploited as a mere source of income by the white/wealthy/corporate elite.
Indeed, what underlies much of the violence we experience and bear witness to is not, as the media and politicians from the two major parties suggest, isolated moral depravity, but rather a deep, society-wide nihilism and devaluation of humanity attributable to an oppressive system wherein profit carries the highest value. This could not be more clearly demonstrated than by the fact that this case of violence breaks every stereotype our society has about danger and violence- "even" suburban, white, female, children are not immune to the inhumanity with which this culture imbues us. »Read Full Blog Post(13)
STITCH mends Milwaukee using social justice and the arts
When you arrive at a STITCH Milwaukee event, you're met by a joyous, welcoming energy which permeates the space. The air hums with anticipation and with the murmurings of youth and community members warmly greeting one another. The walls bear two signs; one reads, "STITCH is about peace, love, unity, knowledge, understanding, and respect", and the other reads, "STITCH is NOT about sexism, homophobia, racism, violence, or general hatefulness." A certain familial comfortability envelops the space. Community members may open by blessing it. Then, one by one, poets and artists emerge from the audience to share their art and a piece of their story with the group. Each is met with a transformative kind of encouragement and affirmation.
STITCH Milwaukee is an intergenerational group of community members that was founded in 2009 with the mission to provide safe space for young people and the community to be creative in. From their summer open mic series to their mural project, STITCH looks to break down divisions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and uses artistic mediums in order to STITCH together our Milwaukee community. You see, part of the mission of STITCH is to address the issue of racial segregation in Milwaukee through human connection.
According to the STITCH organizers, "What makes STITCH unique is our understanding of the impact of segregation in Milwaukee through lived experience and that we choose to challenge this with creative tools for folks to share their stories. We believe strongly in the power of storytelling and its ability to heal, connect, and empower. We acknowledge that storytelling happens through many artistic forms and we support folks finding the best way to express themselves." The name STITCH itself came out of the desire to hold events at two rotating venues- on different sides of the city to motivate Milwaukeeans to cross boundaries and bridge the racial divide in our city. "We call the movement we make the 'STITCH tradition', the team says. Among themselves, STITCH attendees and participants call themselves the "STITCH family".
In addition to STITCH projects like STITCHin' Milwaukee, an anthology of youth artists published in 2011, a screen-print project through RedLine Milwaukee in which they designed and printed their own STITCH t-shirts, and weekly workshops before their open mics that have ranged in topic from creative writing to civic rights, summer 2013 marked one of STITCH's largest projects yet. The Community Mural Project constituted the collective community process of conceiving, designing, and painting a community mural. A large group of community members came together to discuss their experiences with, ideas about, and relationships to the city of Milwaukee, and collectively designed the mural. Images that make up the mural are deeply symbolic and nod to social issues facing Milwaukee, such as racial profiling, segregation, and a racist education system. The broader community was invited to contribute to painting the mural, which was up at STITCH Open Mics over the summer. The mural was installed, one half on the city's north side (at Alice's Garden) and the other half on the south side (at Aztec Ink), with community members in attendance, on November 3, 2013.
STITCH as a space is creative, nurturing, and communalist. It engages community members in artistic self-expression; organic, decentralized, collective decision-making; and peer encouragement and communal affirmation. STITCH lovingly challenges our city. Revolving around the shared belief of the value of each individual's story, STITCH enkindles a sense of humanity by affirming and giving voice to people and their experiences and identities. Spaces such as these are rare and powerful- they engender hope, safety, vulnerability, and dialogue and possess the potential to transform individuals, communities, and institutions. I'm deeply heartened by STITCH's existence and hope more such spaces proliferate in Milwaukee.
STITCH has upcoming events this Spring which you can find out about at their facebook page, linked here. Also, STITCH's new website will be launched in the coming weeks at the URL www.stitchmilwaukee.com. I encourage you to find out more about them and get involved in the great work they are doing around social justice and the arts in our city.
'Better than nothing' is not good enough
If you thought President Obama's executive order to raise the minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.10 per hour was progressive, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Journalist-pundits, Democrats, and liberals were quick to praise the decision, calling it "progress" and commending Obama for his statement that, "Now is the time to address income inequality".
Here are some of the problems with that. »Read Full Blog Post(19)
A love letter to homegrown innovation
When you think of urban centers leading the United States in creativity and pioneering innovation spanning economic, artistic, social, environmental, and public health fields, what city comes to mind? I hope Milwaukee.
The eyes of the world look to Milwaukee. Homegrown organizations, policies, and programs, whose scopes of work range from comedic improv to urban farming, have served as examples of success for cities across the country and abroad seeking to make similar strides. This blog post is a love letter to them.
Each of these could be its own story, to be fair. Here are just a few:
The ComedySportz Comedic Improv Model
This all-improvisation, audience suggestion-based, participatory comedy show was started here in Milwaukee in 1984 by Dick Chudnow and is based on the competitive Theatresports improvisational techniques of Keith Johnstone. ComedySportz is now played in 22 cities nationally and two internationally and the original ComedySportz was voted the #1 Comedy Club in Milwaukee by Shepherd Express readers last year. June 18-21, 2014, ComedySportz players from all over the world will convene in Milwaukee for the 2014 ComedySportz World Championship.
The Hal Leonard Young Musicians Program Urban Arts Education Model
This program was started by print publishing corporation Hal Leonard in 2001 to teach music to Boys & Girls Club participants and children in the metro Milwaukee area. That program is now regarded as a national model for teaching music to inner-city youth, and has expanded cross-country with the backing of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
The Milwaukee Youth Arts Center (MYAC) Urban Arts Education Model
This collaborative initiative of MYSO and First Stage Children's Theater, whose mission is to use the arts to enhance all children's lives, is home to dance and vocal music training programs. MYAC comprises a 56,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility in Milwaukee's historic Schlitz Park. It has become a national model for jointly housing and programming youth arts organizations, with cities across the U.S. seeking to replicate its arts education model. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Critical of capitalism? You're in good company - and proximity
Ever since Pope Francis rebuked global capitalism and trickle-down economics in his apostolic exhortation, I've been witness to what I perceive as more critical economic thought and discourse, both locally and in the broader media. Indeed, whereas for a long time many of us have thought of the economy, as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations asserts, like the weather- it just happens to us- I wonder if that isn't changing lately.
The truth about the economy, of course, is that it is reliant on the wealth we generate every day with our work. "Without our labor, there is no economy". But while we do the work, few of us see improvement in our quality of life. In fact, it is the wealthiest Americans who, through money and influence, control the rules of the economy so that they take more and more of the wealth we create.
Private ownership of the means of production with profit as the goal. It's called capitalism, and more and more Americans are feeling dissatisfied with it and beginning to wonder if maybe it isn't working for us after all. Actually, a Pew Research Center poll finds that only 50% of Americans view capitalism favorably, and that socialism has more fans than opponents among the 18-29 crowd, with 49% of people under the age of thirty feeling more favorably about socialism than about capitalism. Worth noting is the fact that the opposite was the case in 2010. »Read Full Blog Post(46)
How the greed stole Thanksgiving
The real-life Grinch is hard at work this holiday season, and guess what? He isn't green and furry- he's a rich, white CEO.
That's right. A growing list of stores like Walmart, Toys R Us, Kmart, Old Navy, Sears, Target, JCPenny, and Kohl's, all of whom are headed by wealthy white men, have decided to remain open- some for as many as 72 consecutive hours- this Thanksgiving Day.
If you're thinking, Starting Black Friday on Thanksgiving Day doesn't sound so bad. Might be fun to do some post-dinner shopping. What's the big deal?, consider for a moment that millions of American workers will not be able to spend Thanksgiving Day with their families this year because they will be required to work. »Read Full Blog Post(49)
Mind your neighbor's business
I was reading over an issue brief recently released by the UWM Center for Economic Development on the state of black owned business in Milwaukee and was disturbed, but not surprised, to find that black-owned business development in Milwaukee continues to fall short of national rates.
In fact, in terms of the most important indicator of the status of black business development- the "business participation rate" (BPR) - the most recent data ranks Milwaukee 47th among the nation's 50 largest metro areas. Also according to this latest data, the BPR for white Milwaukeeans was triple that for black Milwaukeeans (86.7 versus 32.5) and the vast majority of black owned firms in Milwaukee report having "no employees".
According to the brief, academic literature on the subject names racial discrimination, unequal access to capital, entrepreneurial deficits, and other barriers as factors contributing to this disparity. Also worthy of consideration, though, is the degree to which Milwaukee's hypersegregation inhibits the growth of black enterprise in the city. »Read Full Blog Post(7)
The face of federal failure
Economic question for you: Which is more important – mortgage or groceries?
Meet Donece Thomas, an African-American Milwaukeean and a federal employee of 10 years. She works as a customer service representative with the Social Security Administration. She is considered an "essential" federal employee and has been required to work during the government shutdown without pay. As a widowed single mother, she says she has experienced the shutdown as "frightening and unjust".
"You are told you are going to get paid but you don't know when. In the meantime your bills are still due. My mortgage, groceries, medications, electricity, healthcare premiums, gas, and car all still need paid for". Thomas will receive her next check today, but will only receive one week's pay. She does not know when she will be paid after that. »Read Full Blog Post(19)
Race and policing, 100 years after 'Ragtime'
I attended the musical "Ragtime" at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater this past weekend and I have to corroborate the assessment of many critics that it is a really spectacular show. It also sparked some consideration of the deeper social issues the musical touches on.
"Ragtime," a musical based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, follows the lives of three families—an Eastern European immigrant family, a suburban white family, and an African American family—to illustrate the realities of three groups of Americans at the turn of the century. Coalhouse Walker Jr., the father of the African American family, becomes the victim of a hate crime when bigoted white firemen led by Chief Willie Conklin destroy his Model T Ford and roll it into a lake. Coalhouse then undertakes a lengthy bureaucratic process seeking justice for the crime he has endured, but finds none. When he tells his fiancée Sarah he will not be married until he sees justice served, she plans to appeal to the vice-presidential candidate who is scheduled to visit their town. Ultimately, Sarah is beaten to death by the secret service, who supposedly mistake her for an assassin when she attempts to approach the Vice President. The rest of the story centers on Coalhouse's reactions to this tragic event, and ends with Coalhouse giving himself up to the police who shoot him to death.
The plot of "Ragtime," and Sarah's story especially, call to mind for me the continued prevalence of racially motivated hate crimes and the countless stories of unarmed black Americans who have recently endured unjust and tragic endings at the hands of law enforcement authorities. These cases include Oscar Grant, Kimani Gray, Rekia Boyd, Amadou Diallo, Tarika Wilson, Ramarley Graham, Rodney King, Tyisha Miller, our own Derek Williams, and countless others. All involved egregious and unfathomable race-related crimes perpetrated by law enforcement authorities against the very citizens they are charged with protecting. More often than not these cases ended with little accountability for the murderers and no justice being served in court. In consideration of this Rolodex of the murdered, the death of Sarah in "Ragtime" is just another not-at-all-uncommon story, 100 years earlier. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Navigation path
Did you know that locusts use a very complex visual system to move around? Indeed, those small insects have a distinctive way of processing information through electrical and chemical signals, giving them an extremely fast and accurate warning system for impending collisions.
A team of researchers working on a MCA funded project have decided to apply the locust's unique vision system to a robot and the results are striking: the robot can navigate, detect and detour around objects! So, instead of using radar and infrared detectors, the robot uses its locust navigation system to avoid collisions.
The research team includes Julieta Sztarker an IIF fellow and her supervisor Dr Claire Rind, who said: "This research offers us important insights into how we can develop a system for a car which could improve performance to such a level that we could take out the element of human error."

Creating a Culture Grounded in Effective Communication and Accountability
Ms. Kip Hollister, Founder & CEO, Hollister Staffing
Why are there so many gaps in our organizations? The missing ingredient in developing and retaining talent is in creating a culture that is grounded in effective communication and accountability. We all know it but it is painfully hard to create and sustain. In this session we will crack in to what makes this so difficult, why does it occur and how to build a desirable and sustainable culture.
Key Take-Aways:
The Woman Card: Building Women's Negotiating Skills and Confidence
Dr. Elizabeth Volpe, Associate Professor of Management, Roger Williams University
This workshop session will focus on women and negotiation. Much negotiation research highlights how women shy away from negotiating, or asking for what they want, in professional contexts. This can result in women being disadvantaged when compared to their male counterparts on issues such as salary, project assignments, and advancement opportunities. Negotiation research also suggests that when women do decide to negotiate, they are perceived and often treated differently than men. This workshop session will help attendees understand the challenges and biases women often face in negotiation situations. We will discuss how to identify negotiation opportunities in professional contexts, present strategies and techniques for conducting negotiations effectively and overcoming negotiation roadblocks, and allow for interaction among participants to help build confidence and experience as negotiators.

Communicate to Influence: Present Ideas with Confidence & Clarity
Stacey Shipman, Speaker & Author, StaceyShipman.com
Communication skills are critical for influencing, selling, and connecting with others. And how you come across in public speaking and face-to-face interactions really matters. Yet some women get nervous speaking in public, have a hard time communicating ideas in a concise way, and some avoid speaking up all together. As a result they lose access to clients and miss out on opportunities. During this program audiences learn how to enhance presence and storytelling skills so they can speak clearly and confidently. Whether a nervous newbie or seasoned pro, attendees will learn how to get more from their business communication and presentations.
Personal Branding for Professional Success
Denise Kaigler, Founder and Principal, MDK Brand Management, LLC
Before your clients, customers, boss, or employees can have confidence in your work or leadership, they must have confidence in you. This interactive workshop will entail hands-on activities to help participants learn how to define, market, and maintain their desired, authentic, and sustainable brand and leverage that brand to achieve their personal goals and business objectives. Activities include defining desired personal brands, writing personal brand elevator pitches, and developing messaging that aligns participants' personal brands with their company's objectives. This session ends with networking role-plays that provide opportunities for participants to practice their pitch and aligned messaging. Through simulated networking role-plays, participants will feel more confident about speaking at networking events or business meetings and leveraging their visible and confident personal brand to help achieve their business goals. Defining, owning and marketing your personal brand is an empowering experience, both personally and professionally. Use that brand to pave your path and control your destiny.

Can I keep a tortoise in a discarded aquarium?
I have an old aquarium. Now I would like to get a tortoise, but I would like to know in advance if I can keep it in there on cold days or at night.
no, discarded aquariums are not suitable for this purpose alone for their size, which is almost always too small. Tortoises require rather much space, you should at least provide abot 2 sq.m. for one animal, because it is likely that the tortoise will spend quite some time in it during the transitional seasons (spring/autumn).
It is of course advisable to purchase as much of the common specific literature as possible before (!) purchasing the tortoise, especially for such fastidious animals.
Best regards

Alexander Binnie
|Alexander Binnie
|Engineering career
|Institution of Civil Engineers (president),
|Blackwall Tunnel, Greenwich foot tunnel, Vauxhall Bridge
Sir Alexander Richardson Binnie (1839–1917) was a British civil engineer responsible for several major engineering projects, including several associated with crossings of the River Thames in London.
As chief engineer for the London County Council, his design feats included the first Blackwall Tunnel (1897) and Greenwich foot tunnel (1902) (both in Greenwich, London) and, further upstream, Vauxhall Bridge (1906).
By then knighted by Queen Victoria for services to engineering, he was elected President of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1905.[1]
He also designed, with Sir Benjamin Baker, major parts of London's drainage system, including east London sewage treatment works at Crossness and Barking on the south and north sides of the Thames respectively (these were sited at the ends of the sewer outfalls created by Sir Joseph Bazalgette during the late 19th century). Further afield, he also designed water works in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Like several other notable engineers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (e.g.: Sir William Halcrow, Sir Alexander Gibb), Binnie founded a firm under his name, which his son William took over on his father's retirement. in 1909 Sir Alexander Binnie and Son merged with another engineering consultancy to become Sir Alexander Binnie, Son & Deacon; later it became Binnie & Partners and from the 1990s it has been part of the multi-national Black & Veatch consultancy.
Binnie married, in 1865, the daughter of Dr. Eames, of Londonderry. Lady Binnie died in London 21 September 1901.[2]

What are you most proud of? I am most proud to make something for my daughter, and to actually completely finish a quilt. I have many quilt tops laying around not done. Very, very happy!
I purchased this pattern also to make for my daughter. She wants me to stitch in the ditch and I was wondering what you recommend to help stabilize the quilt crosswise?
Thanks for your response.
I would like to make this quilt larger like 102 x 110 any suggestions on how to do that???

We were in need of some repairs to our old website and contacted YourTechNeeds for help. Nathan was fantastic to deal with and his communication was great. We decided to go ahead with a revamp of the old site which Nathan completed and had up and running within a few weeks. Highly recommended.
Greg Fraser
We came to meet Nathan (in cyber space) a few weeks ago after responding to an online ad offering SEO services. Based on prior experiences responding to similar ads, we were at first relucltant to immediately proceed. You know what it's like - you always want to think things over. But we realised we needed to implement a plan if we wanted our online business to grow. It was hard for us to even know what questions to ask let alone understand his answers. Based soley on our first impressions of Nathan, we decided to jump in head first. We could not have made a better business decision. The value Nathan told us he could bring to our business far outweighed the small cost. We have been accustomed to 3 maybe 4 new customers a week. At the end of week one, we achieved 12 new customers. Week two saw 14 new customers. To say we are extremely happy with Nathan's efforts would be doing him a grave injustice. WE ARE EXTATIC! We plan to continue our association with Nathan and would be more than happy to allay any concerns or hesitations you might have about engaging Nathan. Please feel free to one of us personally on mobile 0419 499698.
Chris, Rick, Anton
Just launched my new website, www.mbbb.net.au I have some help along the way and made a friend with a guy called Nathan, the website builder. He is a website building Guru. Nathan is offering amazing websites starting at $200.00. Nathan does not use cheesy templates that do not reflect your business. Look at my website, it rocks and was well under one thousand dollars and best of all, it is a true representation of my business. Many people get stung by web designers. Websites should not cost $5000.00, but many are prepared to pay that much. It is not necessary. Nathan is very approachable, listens to your wishes, he then looks at your business and after consulting you, begins work on your website. The best thing about Nathan was his ability to understand very quickly what I wanted and turn my vision into a website. Nathan also specialises in search engine optimization which was taken into account when building my website. My video on youtube is averaging 50 hits a day and increasing. My closest competitors you tube video is averaging 50 hits a month. My webpage hits are also going through the roof. The result is business is on the way up and bookings enquiries are already up by 86% in 3 days and increasing I owe Nathan a big thank you. He is currently helping 2 of my friends and their attitude towards the process has gone from frustration to fascination. If you already have a website, talk to Nathan about spending a few hours increasing its ranking on search engines. It costs less than you think. If you do not have a website and have thought about getting one, give him a call 0449 114 623 Here is his website, I thoroughly recommend this guy. http://www.yourtechneeds.com.au/ Have a look at my youtube video, see if you can spot me surfing?
Eugene Molnar
We wanted to create two websites for our over 50's villages. YourTechNeeds helped us to develop the sites as per our requirements. They even helped us to manage the site and because of their Search Engine Optimization we are now getting many more new clients. Thank you, superb work!
Allan Wood
I met Nathan from YourTechNeeds when I was devastated by a company which took more than $4,000 to my website. It was not upto standard and my money has gone into waste. YourTechNeeds took the job and launched the website within less than a month. I was extremely pleased at their job and friendly service. Moreover, their price is very reasonable and I was kept upto date as the work on the site progressed. Thank you Nathan , I will definitely pass on your great work to everyone I know!

Darwin Debated: Religion vs. Evolution
Two hundred years after Charles Darwin's birth, and 150 years after he published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Americans are still fighting over evolution. If anything, the controversy has recently grown in both size and intensity. In a multi-part package, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life explores the many facets of the debate as it has evolved from its origins to the present day.
Higher Law: Faith-Based Hiring and the Obama Administration
During his campaign, then-candidate Barack Obama said he would overturn the Bush administration's actions allowing religious groups that receive federal funds for providing social services to restrict hiring to those of the same faith. A scholar discusses the legal pros and cons of such a reversal.
The Religious Makeup of Congress
Although a majority of the members of the new, 111th Congress are Protestants, Congress — like the nation as a whole — is much more religiously diverse than it was 50 years ago.
In Brief: Pleasant Grove City v. Summum
May a locality that allows one religious group to erect a monument in a city park deny that privilege to another religious sect? On Nov. 12, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case of Pleasant Grove City v. Summum.
The Free Exercise Clause and the Legislative and Executive Branches
Courts have long grappled with questions of religious freedom, but other government bodies also help ensure protection of this cherished liberty.
Brutalism v. Church: A Congregation Sues D.C. Over Historic Landmarking
To the city of Washington DC, it's a classic example of Brutalist architecture; to church members, it's a costly concrete block that obstructs their ability to practice their Christian Science faith.
Ten Years of U.S. Efforts to Promote Religious Freedom
A scholar describes the controversy surrounding the passage of the International Religious Freedom Act in 1998 and discusses its impact worldwide.
The Blaine Game: Controversy Over the Public Funding of Religion
A scholar discusses challenges in Florida to its so-called Blaine Amendments that restrict state aid to religious schools. More than two-thirds of states have similar constitutional provisions.
Stem Cell Research: At the Crossroads of Religion and Politics
An overview of the stem cell debate in America examines the science behind stem cell technology and looks at public opinion trends.
Organized Religion's Role in the Military
In recent years, cadets, military officers and chaplains have asserted competing constitutional rights. Church-state scholar Robert W. Tuttle discusses the legal complications in an interview with Pew Forum.

Roddy White playing for Falcons, Asante Samuel out
Despite reports that it would be 'challenging' for Roddy White to play in Week 1, the Falcons' star receiver will be active against the Saints in New Orleans.
The Saints and Falcons are scheduled for a shootout on Sunday -- the 1 p.m. ET affair should feature a pile of points. And even though he might be limited, Roddy White's presence should equate to more points for Atlanta. Additionally, the Falcons might not be up to the task of keeping Drew Brees and the Saints offense at bay as No. 1 cornerback Asante Samuel is inactive.
It might also be a little harder for the Falcons to score as it will reportedly be "challenging" for White to play in New Orleans.
This report rings true with what CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported earlier in the week -- White's "fully determined" to play Sunday against the Saints but could struggle.
Roddy White fully determined to play Sunday for ATL. He could be limited however.— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) September 7, 2013
White's nursing a high ankle sprain and Adam Schefter of ESPN notes that he could find it difficult to even get on the field at all.
White has been listed as questionable all week long on the Falcons injury report but it wasn't believed that would actually stop him. The former first-round pick has never missed a game since being drafted by Atlanta in the 2005 NFL Draft.
Additionally Jeff Darlington of NFL.com reports that White "will indeed play." Cornerback Asante Samuel is inactive.
Regardless of whether White is actually on the field, it stands to reason that Julio Jones should receive extra attention from Matt Ryan. During the preseason when White was injured, Jones gobbled up targets at a high rate.
Tony Gonzalez is out on the field as well and Steven Jackson is a very capable receiver at running back. If White's forced to miss any actual snaps, though, Harry Douglas isn't exactly an equivalent in terms of his replacement.
Atlanta will be fine without White at 100 percent but he's a critical cog to their offense. Without him completely healthy, a shootout with the Saints is a much more dangerous proposition.

Submarine to dock at Marina heritage museum
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 18th November 2012 08:14 AM
Last Updated: 18th November 2012 08:14 AM
The Navy will provide its decommissioned submarine INS Vagli for the maritime heritage museum to be set up at the Marina Beach, Vice-Admiral Anil Chopra, flag officer commander-in-chief, Eastern Naval Command, said here on Saturday. The submarine, decommissioned after 36 years of service, is currently docked at the naval base in Visakhapatnam.
Speaking after the Naval Symphonic Band concert at the Madras University, which was attended by Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and Governor K Rosaiah, the vice admiral said the Navy's reconnaissance aircraft, P-8i, would be stationed at INS Rajali at Arakkonam as part of the expansion of the Eastern command.
Earlier in the day, delivering a talk on 'Navies and Nations', Chopra said the presence of Pakistani Navy in the Persian Gulf might increase with the Chinese developing the Gwadar deep water port in Balochistan.
"With the development of Gwadar port, Pakistan will have more access to the Persian Gulf. And to that extent, you could say that the footprint of the Pakistani Navy could increase in the Persian Gulf," he said. Chopra also said that the Pakistani Navy had maintained very sustained force levels for the last 20-30 years and modernised its technology.
Speaking to reporters later, Chopra said the Navy was already working on long-term projections and was thinking beyond refurbished Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, while adding that it had the potential to become a super power.
Chopra also highlighted the rise of China's navy in its quest for global power and termed its relations with the Indian Navy as "good".

David Bouley's End Run Goes for Touchdown: Liquor License Approved

[Joey in Astoria] Fatty's Cafe lied to Joey and Foodista about serving Valentine's Day drink specials; everything was regularly priced. Not cool. [Foodista] Dumbo: A relatively budget kitchenware shop called Leader Trading Company has opened at 160 Water Street. [Dumbo NYC] Flatiron: The Corpse Reviver at Hudson Valley–inspired Olana is a "smooth mix of Lillet, Tanqueray, Cointreau, simple syrup and fresh lemon juice in an absinthe-tempered glass."

[Dumbo NYC] Flatiron: If you get to Hill Country at 8 p.m. on a Saturday and come 9 p.m. you're still waiting for a table, you've now struck "Shot o'clock," according to GM John Shaw, "gratis shots for all at the bar." [Eater] Little Italy: This is proof that the city's nightlife is still hot: "Degenerates of nyc in full swing at gold bar. 19 yr old Brazilians having makeshift photo shoots as the party floods into the D.J. booth to play with the new mac computers." Only Bangkok could be hotter than that! [Down by the Hipster] Park Slope: Beer Table, whose SLA woes were chronicled by the Times this week, will open Saturday. [Eat for Victory/VV] Tribeca: A bit of diner rudeness has been spotted around town lately — stool-swiping, line-cutting, table-hogging — but there's a bit of consolation (and warning to offenders): Nobu co-owner Richie Notar revealed "they get secretly punished with extra-long waits."

From cloggers to the Sweet Adelines chorus, "High Noon on the Square'' will offer a variety of entertainment that could rival an old time vaudeville show common at the turn of the last century.
And like the growth of downtowns such as Amarillo in the early 1900s, High Noon's sponsor - Center City of Amarillo - is striving to help our city enjoy a thriving metro area that provides for a great business climate.
High Noon on the Square has become a Center City tradition. It takes place every Wednesday in June and July on the Potter County Courthouse Square at Fifth Avenue and Taylor Street. Different forms of entertainment will be provided every week, as well as a variety of food to make the event a great place for lunch, music and even networking.
Center City's mission is to devise a master plan that rejuvenates and revitalizes all segments of the downtown community. We at the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce always support Center City's efforts to enhance the social, recreational, and economic interests in this core historic area. We support the organization's leadership and its many volunteers who make it a success.
"We are again delighted to present High Noon on the Square for 2001,'' said Penelope Davies, Center City manager. "We invite the thousands of people who work downtown and others to join us for this fun event.''
The first High Noon performance is June 6, featuring The Big Texan Opry in Center City's western salute to summer. Special food will be available from The Big Texan Steak Ranch, with proceeds going to Center City. It will coincide with Cowboy Roundup USA, June 4-10, the Coors Ranch Rodeo, June 8-9, at the Amarillo National Center, and the chamber "Cowboy''After Hours at the ANC at 5 p.m. June 8.
Additional entertainment in June will include: June 13 - "A Glance of Liberation - The Emancipation Proclamation,'' organized by Lillie Miller; June 20 - toe-tappin' tunes featuring The Cadence Cloggers; and June 27 - summertime sounds featuring musicians from the Amarillo Symphony.
July acts begin on Independence Day, with The Stomping Grounds group performing patriotic music and many other numbers. Food will be available from Desperado's, again with proceeds going to Center City. Other July performances will include: July 11 - dance routines from The Lone Star Ballet; July 18 - a capella arias from The Palo Duro Metro Chorus of Sweet Adelines; and July 25 - fine arts finale, featuring The Amarillo Opera.
Along with the specified restaurants, additional food will be available on the square June 13, 20 and 27 and July 11, 18 and 25 from Jerry's Famous Pit Bar-B-Que, Subway Sandwiches, Salads and Savannah's. Also, the program is receiving support from Potter County and KGNC.
Again, Center City and its program provides effective, ongoing management and serves as an advocate for downtown. Center City projects help create jobs, promote new growth and increase prosperity. High Noon On The Square is part of that program.
For more information on Center City of Amarillo activities, call 372-6744, or visit its Web site at www.centercity.org.
Gary Molberg is president of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce. He can be reached a 373-7800.

This review is from: BestChair OC-2812 Ergonomic Mesh Computer Office Desk Task Midback Chair
Pros: -Cheap
-More comfortable than a metal folding chair
Cons: -Cheap
-Pre-drilled holes did not line up easily.
-Arms could do with a bit more padding
Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for. I was previously using $16 folding chairs with pads, that would inevitably collapse with regular use after 4-6 months. I bought this chair because I don't need anything fancy - I just need something that works.
This chair works. We'll see how it stands up to the test of time.
This review is from: Corsair Obsidian Series 900D CC-9011022-WW Black Aluminum ATX Super Tower Computer Case
Pros: - Biiiiiiiiig. This case is larger than your standard full tower by quite a bit.
- Lots of mounting options for radiators.
- Light construction makes the case surprisingly light.
Cons: - Expensive.
- As others have mentioned, this case has relatively poor airflow. You need more than just the 4 fans that come with the case.
- The case is so large that it is difficult for all of your cables to reach their intended locations. Consider buying extension cables for your PSU and fans.
- Light construction makes some of the parts seem flimsy and won't take a lot of weight. Be careful what you lean on when installing parts. The motherboard tray would flex a bit when I was installing my RAM.
Other Thoughts: Though I am completely satisfied with this case, it is NOT for your average user, or even your average enthusiast. Don't buy this case if you are looking for bang for buck. Buy this case if you are looking to dump an obscene amount of money into an overcomplicated water cooling setup.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Acer P243WAid Black-Silver 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor with HDCP Support 400 cd/m2 3000:1 ACM
Pros: *No dead pixels*. Very happy about that. Clear, sharp picture. Has a few extra presets for brightness, contrast, color and etc which are pretty nice.
Cons: None so far.READ FULL REVIEW

At one point, Longoria, 40, jumped on her (much taller) costar Chavira, 44, as he appeared to be dangling a set of keys out of her reach.
Desperate Housewives Finale Proves Classically Desperate
Originally posted 05/14/2012 08:00AM
Desperate Housewives is over. For longtime fans of the ABC comedy-drama, the two-hour finale flew by.
The first half concluded the preposterous murder trial against Bree (Marcia Cross). It was sad to see Bree led off to the death chamber manacled and in an unflattering orange jumper. Am I kidding? As narrator Mary Alice would say: Yesssssss …
The second half saw the death of one of the best-loved residents of Wisteria Lane, plus a wedding and a birth. If you're at all up on the season you know who did what of which. In other words, it was sweet, it was pat, it was all a bit anticlimactic – but why wouldn't it be after all this time?
Here are some moments – none of them spoilers – that made the farewell classically Desperate.

Okay, I am a first time mom and have decided I am definately buying a Graco Snugride carseat (mostly for its size and the ability to install in the car with the handle in the upright).
BUT I have a question. They have the Snugride and the Snugride 32. So - how long will an average infant stay in a Sungride 32 as opposed to a regular 22 pound limit carseat? Is it worth the extra $$ for the 32??
Also...and maybe this is just dumb? but ... how long must an infant stay rear facing?
Thanks for any help! Im lost and pretty much the first in my family to have a baby...eeek.
