About Me
I just want to take pictures that will be remembered. I like shots that make me feel something, either emotionally or physically, so I try to do the same when I shoot.
I hate performing under pressure, so the more you organize and make a production of a shoot, the worse I will be. I'm laid back and relaxed, and I like everyone involved with the shoot to be as well. You think better when you're at ease, so chill out, relax, and just let the shot come to you.
For the next few months, I will be focusing on Composite photography and maybe some ads here and there. Have a great idea? Lets shoot it!
I look for three things in a project:
1.) Compelling work
2.) fun client
3.) astronomical fees
However, to have a successful project, I really only need two out of three.
For example, I'll do great work with fun people for nothing and still feel rewarded. Or, I'll do great work for a mean, stupid client for outrageous money. Or, I'll do boring work with somebody I like a lot for more money than one can imagine. Anytime I'm faced with only one of the three it's time to rethink the relationship. Actually, it's time to move on.
I work at M2, an Ad Agency out of Greensboro, NC.I design advertisements, websites, logos for all types of businesses. I run model calls for ads sometimes, so keep in touch! See my work on istock.

Development and initial evaluation of reliability and validity of the opioid-taking self-efficacy scale
Liang, Shu-Yuan, Yates, Patsy, Edwards, Helen E., & Tsay, Shiow-Luan (2008) Development and initial evaluation of reliability and validity of the opioid-taking self-efficacy scale. Oncology Nursing Forum, 35(4), E62-E69.
Purpose/Objectives: To examine the reliability and validity of the Opioid-Taking Self-Efficacy Scale-Cancer (OTSES-CA).-----
Design: Survey of two separate samples.-----
Setting: Two teaching hospitals in the Taipei area of Taiwan.-----
Sample: 30 (stage 2, pilot study) and a second cohort of 92 (stage 3) outpatients who had been prescribed opioid analgesics for cancer-related pain.-----
Methods: A preliminary set of 35 items was developed from qualitative interviews to assess the key domains of self-efficacy. The scale properties were evaluated with the first sample using face validity, test-retest reliability, and Cronbach alpha. Construct validity using exploratory factor analysis and concurrent validity were evaluated with the second sample.-----
Main Research Variables: Opioid-taking self-efficacy.-----
Findings: An initial pilot study supported face validity and test-retest reliability with stability coefficients for the subscales of the OTSES-CA, ranging from 0.68 (taking analgesics according to schedule) to 0.82 (communicating about pain and taking analgesics). An exploratory factor analysis demonstrated the multidimensionality of the OTSES-CA. Four factors were identified: communicating about pain and analgesic-taking, tailoring the medication regimen, acquiring help, and managing treatment-related concerns. Cronbach alpha coefficients reached the 0.80 criterion for each of four subscales constructed from items loading on these factors. Significant correlations among the total score of the OTSES-CA and mean adherence rates, pain relief, and worst pain support the concurrent validity of the OTSES-CA.-----
Conclusions: The data provide preliminary evidence of acceptable psychometric properties for the OTSES-CA designed to measure patients' self-efficacy with taking opioids. Further validation is recommended to confirm the four dimensions of the construct.-----
Implications for Nursing: The OTSES-CA can be used in research and clinical settings to identify various impediments to opioid adherence.

Good thing this didn't happen around a large city like Baltimore or Philly.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Xerox Corp blamed each other on Monday after Louisiana food stamp recipients stripped bare the shelves of some Walmart stores when a computer glitch left their debit cards with no limits.
Managers of Wal-Mart stores in the small, north Louisiana towns of Springhill and Mansfield alerted police on Saturday night that throngs of shoppers had flooded into the stores and were buying groceries using electronic benefit cards that contained no credit limits.

Manti Te'o: My fake girlfriend called me after her supposed death
— Manti claims the woman who called from "Lennay's" phone was the same person who he had spoken with during his relationship with Lennay.
— Manti says the woman informed him that Lennay was not dead … because she was not real.
— Swarbrick says Manti met with a media team, who had planned to release the story to the media next week … but they were scooped by Deadspin.
— Manti told ND officials he had gone to Hawaii to meet Lennay in person on several occasions, but she never showed up.
— ND believes the Manti was targeted because he's too nice of a guy … and the perps took pleasure in humiliating him.

Ground Kontrol's mission to provide the classic arcade experience on a full-time basis in the present day calls for both preservation and modernization. To meet these sometimes conflicting goals, we try to retain the original look and feel of the equipment as much as possible while using modern parts and materials to ruggedize them for full-time play. Our treatment of X-Men's joystick controls is a good example of achieving this balance.
X-Men's joysticks are the classic Wico ball-handle type, each colored differently to match a particular mutant. The '80s model of this joystick, familiar to players of Robotron:2084, used leaf switches to sense player movement and a rubber grommet to center the joystick.
By 1992, Wico had replaced the leaf switches with more reliable and longer lasting microswitches, but retained the original centering grommet:
These rubber grommets deteriorate with use and age. If we operated them full-time now, they'd quickly disintegrate.
Modern arcade joysticks like Happ's Super, Competition and Ultimate models use a much simpler and sturdier spring-loaded design to center the joystick; installing them instead should save us a lot of headaches. It would be a shame to ditch the originals, though; the multicolored ball handles are just too cool.
So, a compromise: We'll combine the original handles and the modern mechanisms to get the best of both worlds.
First, we clean up the original handles. The ball is a solid piece of dyed plastic, which means we can safely scour marks from its surface with no risk of damaging the color. A Magic Eraser followed by some Novus 2 Fine Scratch Remover restore their original shine.
The shafts are very rusty and could use a fresh layer of chrome. Not being set up for that level of metalworking, we opt to sand the rust away with two grits of fine sandpaper. Before and after:
The original handles almost fit the new bases, but their taper point is about 5/16″ too high to compress the centering spring.
Comparing a modern Happ Competition joystick handle to the original Wico "ball" handle.
Fortunately, we find some brass tubing of just the right inner and outer diameter to extend the taper point.
Brass tubing, cut to act as a shim.
Shim installed on the handle, changing its taper point to match the new Happ base.
Fully assembled. Original appearance + easy maintenance == Success!
On to X-Men: Assembled!

Book battles heat up over censorship vs. selection in school
U.S. schools have banned more than 20 books and faced more than 50 other challenges this year, the American Library Association reports, and many more are expected this fall.
"By far our busiest time is the early fall," says Angela Maycock of the association's Office for Intellectual Freedom. "When students go back to school, we see a real upswing in complaints."
There is intense debate over whether those challenges involve censorship or are just parents seeking age-appropriate reading material.
"It is not a banning when some school decides to remove a book," says Dan Kleinman, who in 2004 started the website SafeLibraries.org . "They are just following their selection policy."
Banned books
Books banned by various schools in the past six months include:
1. Athletic Shorts, by Chris Crutcher
2. Big Momma Makes the World, by
Phyllis Root
3. The Bonesetters Daughter, by Amy Tan
4. Burn, by Suzanne Phillips
5. Great Soul, by Joseph Lelyveld
6. Its a Book, by Lane Smith
7. Lovingly Alice, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
8. The Marbury Lens, by Andrew Smith
9. Me Talk Pretty One Day, by David Sedaris
10. Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Astray Vol. 3, by Tomohiro Chiba
11. My Darling, My Hamburger, by Paul Zindel
12. The Patron Saint of Butterflies, by Cecilia Galante
13. The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky
14. Pit Bulls and Tenacious Guard Dogs, by Carl Semencic
15. Push, by Sapphire
16. Shooting Star, by Fredrick McKissack Jr.
17. The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley, by Colin Thompson
18. Vegan Virgin Valentine, by Carolyn Mackler
19. What My Mother Doesnt Know, by Sonya Sones
20. Whats Happening to My Body?: Book for Boys, by Lynda Madaras with Area Madaras
Source: Jennifer Petersen, the American Library Association
Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, says he believes the challenges are increasingly influenced by politics and the economy.
" Districts are dependent on budgets, and politically motivated school boards try to determine what we read, what we think and what we teach," he says.
The number of book challenges, usually initiated by parents, fluctuates yearly, says library association spokeswoman Jennifer Petersen. Reported challenges have declined from 513 in 2008 to 348 last year, but Petersen says there are many that her group never learns about.
Last month, Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s Slaughterhouse-Five and Sarah Ockler's Twenty Boy Summer were removed from Republic High School in Republic, Mo.
Ockler called the ban "extremely disheartening."
The top reasons for challenges are sexually explicit content, offensive language and violence, the association says.
"That's not what our kids should be reading and learning," says Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition of America .
Virginia's Albemarle County School District removed the Sherlock Holmes mystery A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from a sixth-grade reading list this summer after parents said the book portrays Mormons in a negative light, says Matt Haas, executive director of the county's schools.
In Channelview, Texas, TheAdventures of Super Diaper Baby, by George Beard, Harold Hutchins and Dav Pilkey, was removed from grade schools after parents complained when their 6-year-old was suspended for calling a classmate "poo-poo head," Maycock says.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm the intending immigrant and we are including my income for consideration. What application should I fill in conjunction with my spouses I-864? Another I-864 or I-864a?I should have clarified. I'm living with my wife (who's the petitioner) and my income is covering all of the financial requirements. My wife is a full time student. We have listed her income on I-864 as well. I have no dependents. I've worked lawfully in the US. Still confused because it looks like there are different opinions here
You should include the contract with a household member.
Myron R. Morales, Attorney
Morales PLLC
even if I don't have any dependents? To my understanding, I'm not required to fill I-864a if I don't have any dependents. I'm confused. Hence the question...
If you are living in the same household just use the same I-864 and fill out the appropriate areas and questions to include your income as the intending immigrant and household member using your income and that of the petitioner.Ask a similar question
Should I not file the contract with a household member then?
You can. But as mentioned above it should suffice if you just use one I-864 and combine both your salaries/income as long as you have lived in the same household in the last 6 months and your work was pursuant to legal authorization from USCIS. If you were working without permission you will need to get a co-sponsor.
We got married in September 2012 (less than 6 months ago, obviously) and moved in a few weeks before that into the same apartment. I've been working with permission
Its probably best to be absolutely sure you should schedule a consult with my office to review your situation before your file. reds
I agree

As North Korea spoils for regional conflict under leader Kim Jong-un, Rowing New Zealand is scrutinising whether it is safe to send athletes to the world championships in South Korea from August 25-September 1.
The venue of Chungju is less than 200km from the North Korean border, well within missile range. It is just over three hours from the South Korean capital Seoul by train. The countries are still technically at war; their conflict almost 60 years ago ended in a truce rather than a peace treaty.
The New Zealand squad is scheduled to travel to South Korea on August 11 but have since sought security advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
"We've started to think about it," RNZ chief executive Simon Peterson says. "We've gone to MFAT for a second opinion. We haven't alerted the athletes to this until we hear back. There is no plan B at present.
"Security for our athletes and coaches is our absolute No1 concern, over and above results."
Peterson said international rowing body FISA will visit the venue this week.
Eric Verdonk earned a bronze medal in the single sculls for New Zealand at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He says the city was never short of a visible military presence during that era and New Zealand athletes should not be too concerned.
"Even then we drove in buses with police escorts. In fact, the security issue didn't prey on my mind until the Games after-party. It was quite an affair in the village quadrangle. These black-suited, heavily-armed ninja soldiers suddenly abseiled down buildings and forced a closure to the party. They weren't even visible on the rooftops until the clock struck midnight. It was like we were going to turn into pumpkins.
"FISA will be checking every detail to the nth degree and [North Korea's communist ally] China is reluctant to interfere because their rowing is strong at present. These world championships will be an opportunity to showcase their sporting success, even if not too many North Koreans have taken to the oars.
"I expect the world championships to proceed as planned, unless there is a major invasion. I doubt that. South Korea dots its Is and crosses its Ts. It is highly industrialised and affluent with a lot of American business interests. North Korea might be flexing its military muscle but there is too much American influence in the region for this to get far."
The New Zealand squad leaves for Europe on June 14 for the next phase of their 2013 programme. They'll compete in regattas at Henley, Eton Dorney and Lucerne before returning home and heading to Chungju.

Saturday 27 May 2017
17 February 2012
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) will host a series of outreach meetings in March, April and May 2012 on their revised joint proposals for the recognition of revenue that were published in November 2011.
The meetings form an important part of the boards' programme of outreach activities on this second set of the revenue recognition proposals and they reflect the importance of revenue to all companies. To date, the boards have already hosted a number of workshops, webcasts and conferences on the topic and have held a number of meetings with auditors, preparers, regulators and users.
The round-table meetings will be held in public and will provide an opportunity for those that have submitted a comment letter, or who still intend to submit a comment letter, to discuss the proposals with the boards in further detail. The meetings will take place in London (UK), Norwalk (US) and Tokyo (Japan) in April; an additional round-table meeting will take place for US private entities in May 2012.
In addition, the IASB will host further outreach meetings during the week commencing 26 March 2012 in Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). Details of those events will be announced on the IASB's website in the coming weeks.
An audio recording of the roundtable discussions will be made available shortly after each round table on www.ifrs.org and www.fasb.org.
Registration details for observers or participants are available on the IASB meetings diary:
For the additional round-table meeting for private companies organised by the FASB, please visit the revenue recognition project page on the FASB website www.fasb.org.

Your face shouldn't broadcast last night's bad decisions. This hydrating eye cream does for your eyes what coffee does for your mind: Formulated with caffeine plus cooling cucumber and alfalfa extracts, it energizes and hydrates the skin under your eyes—even erasing dark circles over time. And because you can see results instantly, your coworkers will be none the wiser.
Okay so please forgive me because this was the first ever eye product I've ever used.
After figuring out how much lotion to use -- too much will literally make you feel like crying -- this stuff really does work! The area around my eyes are a little bit lighter (after about 2 weeks of usage) and looks much better! I am pretty sold on this stuff.
I love this eye cream for both at night & in the morning. At night time it soothes my tired eyes and makes me feel relaxed and ready for bed. But in the morning there's nothing better than the cooling sensation it brings to wake you up and like the description implies- it takes away last night's "mistakes!"
A little does go a long way- especially in the a.m. because you don't want the eye cream to compete with your make-up/concealer. But as someone who suffers from anemia, and consequently dark under-eye circles, I LOVE what this eye cream does!
I ordered this product because I've developed dark eye circles over the past few years, and this was the the least expensive one with good reviews. Upon first application, my under eyes looked less tired and sunken and the dark circles were a bit lighter! And the texture of this is divine. Also, a little bit goes a long way.4

I've said here that no one should feel bad about not understanding the recent credit meltdown, since the people who are supposed to understand it don't either. That's not exactly true, as I'd guessed any discerning reader would realize, but the voices of reason have long been drowned out by the shouts of those who made a lot of money off of money. Those guys are kind of glum and silent now, so we can hear the quieter voices of reason a lot more clearly.

The Count's Millions HTML version
Chapter 13.
Few people have any idea of the great number of estates which, in default of heirs to
claim them, annually revert to the government. The treasury derives large sums from this
source every year. And this is easily explained, for nowadays family ties are becoming
less and less binding. Brothers cease to meet; their children no longer know each other;
and the members of the second generation are as perfect strangers as though they were
not united by a bond of consanguinity. The young man whom love of adventure lures to a
far-off country, and the young girl who marries against her parents' wishes, soon cease to
exist for their relatives. No one even inquires what has become of them. Those who
remain at home are afraid to ask whether they are prosperous or unfortunate, lest they
should be called upon to assist the wanderers. Forgotten themselves, the adventurers in
their turn soon forget. If fortune smiles upon them, they are careful not to inform their
relatives. Poor--they have been cast off; wealthy--they themselves deny their kindred.
Having become rich unaided, they find an egotistical satisfaction in spending their money
alone in accordance with their own fancies. Now when a man of this class dies what
happens? The servants and people around him profit of his loneliness and isolation, and
the justice of the peace is only summoned to affix the seals, after they have removed all
the portable property. An inventory is taken, and after a few formalities, as no heirs
present themselves, the court declares the inheritance to be in abeyance, and appoints a
This trustee's duties are very simple. He manages the property and remits the income to
the Treasury until a legal judgment declares the estate the property of the country,
regardless of any heirs who may present themselves in future.
"If I only had a twentieth part of the money that is lost in this way, my fortune would be
made," exclaimed a shrewd man, some thirty years ago.
The person who spoke was Antoine Vaudore. For six months he secretly nursed the idea,
studying it, examining it in all respects, weighing its advantages and disadvantages, and
at last he decided that it was a good one. That same year, indeed, assisted by a little
capital which he had obtained no one knew how, he created a new, strange, and untried
profession to supply a new demand.
Thus Vaudore was the first man who made heir-hunting a profession. As will be
generally admitted, it is not a profession that can be successfully followed by a craven. It
requires the exercise of unusual shrewdness, untiring activity, extraordinary energy and
courage, as well as great tact and varied knowledge. The man who would follow it
successfully must possess the boldness of a gambler, the sang-froid of a duelist, the keen
perceptive powers and patience of a detective, and the resources and quick wit of the
shrewdest attorney.
It is easier to decry the profession than to exercise it. To begin with, the heir-hunter must
be posted up with information respecting unclaimed inheritances, and he must have

LFB, which racked up €432.4 million ($578.3 million) in 2011 revenues, focuses on immunology, intensive care, and hemostasis treatments, and 60% of LFB products are indicated for rare diseases.
Thallion said it took back rights to its Shigamabs® program, including all data, materials, and know-how developed by and for LFB during a collaboration launched two years ago this month. The company also hired an undisclosed "leading healthcare-specialized investment banking group" to conduct the review.
"Thallion has not established a definitive timeline to complete its review and will be assessing all available alternatives within the next few months," the company said.
Under the companies' development and commercialization agreement, Thallion granted LFB an exclusive license for the commercial rights to Shigamabs in Europe, South America, and other "territories of strategic interest to LFB," including Russia, Turkey, China, South Korea, and unspecified Northern African countries. Thallion retained commercial rights for the rest of world, including North America.
Thallion was eligible for up to €95 million (about $127.2 million) from LFB—including a €1.5 million ($2 million) up-front payment, funding for substantially all future clinical development costs, and payments for Shigamabs tied to development, approval, and commercial sales milestones. Thallion was also eligible to receive tiered, double-digit royalties based on product sales in all the LFB territories.
With the end of the agreement, Canadian-owned Thallion loses out on future quarterly payments from LFB—an affiliate of the Laboratoire français du Fractionnement et des Biotechnologies of Les Ulis, France—while incurring all remaining costs associated with completion of the SHIGATEC Phase II clinical study. LFB will pay for all outstanding and accrued costs related to product manufacturing.
The separate announcements on the LFB collaboration and strategic review come less than five months after Thallion predicted its cash would allow it to sustain itself for a year or more: "The company believes that its cash position will be sufficient to finance its operations and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months."
According to its third-quarter 2012 results, released October 5, 2012, the company boosted its available liquidity 22% from $8.5 million to more than $10.4 million, and its working capital by 61% from $6.3 million to $10.2 million as of August 31, 2012 compared with November 30, 2011. The increases reflect both unspecified LFB payments and in large measure, immediate cash proceeds of nearly $3.9 million, from Thallion selling Caprion Proteomics to an affiliate of private equity firm Chicago Growth Partners.
That Caprion deal also allowed Thallion to record net earnings of more than $3.7 million or 12 cents a share in the third quarter of 2012, and net earnings of about $2.2 million or 7 cents ashare for the nine months ending August 31, 2012.
Excluding that one-shot gain, Thallion finished Q3 2012 in the red, losing $711,782 or 2 cents a share in the third quarter, a slight improvement from the $870,583 or 3 cents-a-share net loss of Q3 2011. For the nine months ending Aug. 31, 2012, Thallion lost nearly $2.3 million or 7 cents a share, somewhat better than the third-quarter 2011 net loss of about $2.7 million or 8 cents a share.
At the time, Thallion blamed the losses on reduced R&D spending (and thus LFB subsidies) due to completion of the core Phase II SHIGATEC clinical study in January 2012, as well as foreign currency fluctuations. In May 2012, Thallion trumpeted topline results showing that Shigamabs met its primary endpoint of safety and tolerability in a STEC-infected pediatric population.
Collaboration and licensing revenues during Q3 2012 fell by more than half, to $234,743 from $772,335 a year earlier. For the nine months ending August 31, those revenues dropped by about half, to about $1.4 million from $2.6 million for Q1–3 2011.
Caprion provides biomarker discovery and other proteomics services to biopharmas that as of last year included GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck & Co. Thallion also stood to receive within 15 months $583,000 held in escrow, plus unspecified additional cash if Caprion achieved undisclosed fiscal 2012 revenue and gross margin targets; no announcement had been made on whether those targets were met.
By December 2012, however, Thallion delisted itself from the Toronto Stock Exchange, opting instead to list its shares on the TSX Venture Exchange. The decision came six months after TSX began a review of whether Thallion was meeting the exchange's continued listing requirements.

Adding backup camera
Hey guys.. I just got a 2012 SEL with MFT without the backup camera. Now I think I want it [8D]
I was able to locate the camera, module and hardware on fordparts.com. My question is, how difficult would it be to install myself? Is it possible that it my car is already pre-wired (as in plug and play)? I noticed on some F150 and mustang forums that some are saying it is prewired if there is MFT or nav installed already. I know that a flash will be needed but Im a little unsure of the installation itself.
Any help would be appreciated and TIA!
I would be interested too. I don't know if it's prewired, but my titanium occasionally shows a message on the console when in reverse that a "backup camera is not installed". This makes me think it may be upgradable.
Same boat as you...wish I had purchased the parking technology package.
Here is the message I occasionally see on the MFT screen when I shift into R. Sorry for the quality, was on my cell phone. I guess MFT is programmed to look for a backup camera even if one is not installed.
As for the camera, if you don't get the OEM parts from Ford, I would recommend getting the best aftermarket camera you can get. The MFT is such a nice hi-res screen, I don't think it would look very good with a cheap lo-res camera. It's just a guess, though.
Yea, I would have liked to have gotten it on my Titanium but I didn't want to pay for the assisted parking technology package to get it.....$795 to parallel park once or twice a year? Come on! If I lived in New York or somewhere I had to aprk on the street everyday then maybe. It is a cool feature and I would have liked to get the camera by itself....but not for the price.
I thought of it as, for spending $695 to get the front parking sensors and backup cam, and then get the Park Assist for free.
If anyone has pulled apart the dash yet, is there a simple RCA input on the back of the head unit (or somewhere else) or is the some complex connector that another "backup module" attaches to? Maybe some PAC-love down the road then for an aftermarket module.
I don't have my focus yet, but am in the same boat of not wanting to pay 700 for the parking package, but am addicted to the camera in my Murano. I think wiring the aftermarket camera would be the worst part.
I got my titanium off the lot and it came equipped with the active park assist package. Not something I would have ordered because of the cost, but I do like the back up camera. I don't think I've had to parallel park in over a year. I just picked up the car on Wednesday and I think I'm going to drive around after work today just to look for a place to try the SAPP

Date of Stay: July, 2009
This was our first time camping here & we just LOVED it! There's so much for the kids to do & there's also ATV trails so if you have an ATV, bring it! The people here are very friendly and offer nightly tractor rides around the park. There's an indoor & outdoor pool & they're maintained very well! The only thing I'd like to see is the indoor pool needs some work on the cement because it gets very slippery. Overall, a GREAT campground!
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We have camped at Fairfield's since I was a young child, so well over 15 years! This year we noticed it going downhill!! The washrooms are fairly clean except for the floor that is constantly soaking wet, a danger hazard when you have small children! You have to pay for showering too. The seasonal campers are VERY friendly & we talked to a few of them this year who are also as dissatisfied as we are. It seems there is a new rule daily & it's just getting ridiculous! My main complaint is the customer service!!! We went there with a large group & when one of our families got moved to another site away from us, we asked to get switched closer to us since there was a vacant site next to us, where they were supposed to be in the first place!. We were told by a VERY rude lady at the front desk that she had already checked someone into that site & that the family would have to "DEAL" with their new site even though it was a crappy site & 2 roads away from the group! She refused to come down & look at the vacant site claiming that they must be driving around the park because she checked them in that morning. The entire weekend, nobody ever showed up on that vacant site that she claimed was taken! Upon talking to people camping near us we found out that they also had a member of their group moved too! Also there is now NO visitors! We were planning on having a birthday party for our small child there & had to cancel due to the new no visitor rule, meanwhile there is a big sign beside the pool that tells visitors how much they need to pay for overnight & day uses! If you're going to change the rules, at least POST THEM on the website so people know what's going on!

|Home > Opinion > Hugh Mackay > Article
Howard is widely regarded as one of our most astute political strategists, but he came within an ace of being consigned to political oblivion - which suggests that he must also be one of our luckiest political survivors.
He was lucky to be the last man standing as opposition leader when the Keating Labor government fell in 1996. There was an inevitability about that defeat and it had almost nothing to do with Howard: indeed, that was the election for which the Coalition invented the "small target" strategy, refusing to expose its policies to the glare of public scrutiny. (It was a disgracefully undemocratic strategy, but it worked because Howard and his advisers knew the election was about getting rid of Labor, not electing the Coalition.)
Since then, voter enthusiasm for Howard has fluctuated, but he has experienced three significant surges in popularity, all involving dark episodes in the nation's history: Port Arthur, Tampa and Bali.
Some leaders attract support for their imaginative policies, their stirring rhetoric, or their vision of a better society. They win our hearts and minds by inspiring us with stories that thunder in the blood. They make us feel strong, courageous and optimistic. Howard, by contrast, has risen in our estimation in direct proportion to our sense of insecurity. His strength has lain in his capacity to respond to crises by reinforcing, rather than allaying, our fears.
Gun laws, refugees, terrorism: this has been a gruesome trio of political opportunities for Howard. They are like the three stages of the rocket that has propelled him to undreamed of heights. He is the man of the moment.
And what a weird moment it is. Australians are suffering from a sense of heightened anxiety springing from the fear of invasion of our comfort zone by refugees, and the threat of terrorism edging ever closer to our shores. (These are unconnected threats, by the way: the refugees are fleeing from the very regimes that we, too, abhor.)
Howard is far from invincible, as his pre-Tampa poll ratings last year showed. The signs of his vulnerability can be seen in the very nature of the support he garners at times of national trauma. His destiny is to be praised, not for his vision, but for his determination to stand firm when the going gets tough.
But what happens when our anxieties thaw? What happens if there's a further hardening of the electorate's resistance to our participation in a US war on Iraq?
What happens, in short, when we decide we want more from a leader than the ability to act tough in a crisis, and begin to demand positive, proactive leadership that takes us beyond our fears?
Enter the Greens. The key to the Greens' emerging electoral success lies in the fact that they stand for coherent, identifiable, humane policies and seem willing to engage with the moral implications of economic issues. It's no accident that a Green candidate knocked Labor off its perch in Cunningham: what Labor's heartland lacks is a sense of Labor's heart.
Under Howard, we have become a more divided, more intolerant, more highly taxed and more ruthlessly propagandised society than we were pre-1996.
The question is whether Crean has an alternative vision for us, and the capacity to articulate it. Only Crean himself knows the answer to that one, but he might do well to heed the words of US philosopher, Martha Nussbaum: "A safe life is not worth living."

Producer Megan Hanley is disappointed so few children enrolled for her creative arts workshop in Dannevirke last week.
"We were down to 12 but, at one stage, had 26 enrolled, however, 14 had to pull out," she said. "I want to be here and chose Dannevirke as a place to bring the workshops because you have a strong theatre culture. But we can't continue to go where we don't get the numbers."
With the production of HR PuffnStuf the focus for the week, backdrops were brought to town for Friday's finale, but Ms Hanley is pondering whether she'll continue.
And it hasn't been because of a lack of trying on her behalf as Ms Hanley said she had paid for 1500 fridge magnets to be distributed to schools and visited every school in the Tararua.
"I've attended principal association meetings and the hands go up as people are enthusiastic about the programme, but still the children don't turn up," she said.
"To break even, we need 20 children, so this time we're having to cover 50 per cent of the cost. What it means is the profits from the Sydney workshop are paying for the workshop in Dannevirke. After three years, I'm wondering if enough is enough for Dannevirke."
However, Ms Hanley says she realises it can take time to build interest, but with the first workshop in Dannevirke attracting more than 20 children having numbers dwindle is frustrating.
"I'm going to be looking for a sponsor to help out and I've got to acknowledge the support from the Dannevirke Theatre Company. It's been brilliant because they see their future cast members are receiving a great grounding at these workshops."
After 28 years living in Australia, Ms Hanley has brought her workshops here wanting to inspire creativity in children. "Unfortunately funding for my next contract has been cut."
After the final production, Duncan Hall who had taken part in two workshops was inspired to enrol for a third. "You have heaps of fun. I liked the acting and role plays and it's something interesting you can do in the school holidays."

The last time I thought about wetrir's block I remembered a movie I had seen a few years ago (more than a few) where a tortured, but beautiful, woman was sitting pensively by a mill, She was agonizing over her block which had been plaguing her for a long time. I am telling you, mega tortured. I write posts all the time, which I know need not be sent. I am my own worst critic, but send them anyway. So I say, write and send; or better yet, write and publish. Nora would say it's ok, do it. Life is short. Being tortured takes up WAY too much time.

Photo Gallery From Monday's Press Conference
"(Saturday) was obviously a dominating offensive performance. When you look at some of the key statistics as a team another game of 15 yards per attempt throwing the ball, 83 percent completion when you throw it 41 times - that's a big number. Ten out of 13 on third downs is another big number. Five of five touchdowns in the red area is a big number, and 34 first downs. It is hard to really say much other than I'm really proud of how those guys played. On defense it came down to what I said after the game: the two fourth-and-one stops and the goal line stand. If you look after the first two possessions they really had us on our heels. They came out in a lot of different formations that we hadn't seen. Our young guys were really struggling to line up and we didn't tackle well and it slowed us down. To their credit they settled down and the next seven possessions we held them to three points and that allowed our offense to pull away and that probably broke their spirit a little bit. Good special teams game - the kicking game was sound and we got another big play in the kicking game. It was great execution by Mike [Palardy]. We give players of the week and on offense this week we gave it to the unit because everybody just played so well. The line played great from a protection standpoint. The receivers played great, the quarterback played great, the runner ran. I think he probably had his best game running to me that he's had since he's been here consistently. So we gave it to the unit. We gave it to Malik [Jackson] on defense. He was pretty disruptive up front, and Mike Palardy on special teams. The only two injury situations we have right now - I know you guys are going to ask about Dallas [Thomas]. He sprained his knee; he should be fine. So we expect him to play - no issues there. Ben Martin kind of sprained his ankle. That's what took him out. He is day to day. Nothing major, nothing serious. That's where we are on that. Of course this team - we haven't won against [Florida] in a while. I think since 2003 down there, 2004 here. They probably have the most talented defensive line in the country, two big play makers on offense, and I would say probably the best special teams in the league as far as generating plays for them. They have been doing it for a long time. It is going to be a great challenge for our team. We will find out more about who we are this week and let's go play."
On the play of Tauren Poole and bringing a new attitude
"I think he did last week. I think he just really was less concerned with making the right cut and more concerned about running, getting your pads down and hitting it. There were about four or five times where he would put the brakes on looking for a move and he just put his pads down and got another four or five yards. That adds up over the course of the game and that's what I told him."
On a relationship with Will Muschamp
"Well, Will is a Georgia guy like me. We had a lot of mutual friends even before he and I became friends and of course our first time working together was in 2001 at LSU and we had a lot of success there the four years we were there together. I was there in 2000; he wasn't there with us in 2000 - we brought him on in 2001. We had a good run there and went to the Dolphins together. Like any assistant coaches, we were both coming up through the ranks as young coaches at that time so we had a lot in common and developed a relationship. He left a year early to go to Auburn, he left Miami and that was the extent of it. We stayed in touch and we talked quite a bit when he was at Texas and I was at Louisiana Tech and even last year we stayed in touch. We are good friends and professional competitors. He is going to want to whip me pretty good and I'm going to want to whip him pretty good - that how it goes."
On gauging Florida's offense with only two games of evidence under a new offensive staff
"We don't have a lot to go on because in both games they just overwhelmed their opponents and it's like watching a preseason game. I don't think they showed a lot. I know they are going to show a lot more against us. They are able to get two games under their belt and really not go into the deep end of their playbook. The game was over really early so they were able to get young guys experience. They are going to be fresh. They got their guy back off of suspension. We are going to have to be prepared for a lot more than what we saw in the first two games."
On preparing freshman for the trip to Gainesville
"This is going to be our first big test for a lot of reason. One is, of course, that you are on the road. Everything is different when you go on the road. It will be the first time these guys get on a plane for some of them. All of the routine is different. They won't be sleeping at the same hotel they are used to on Friday night. The meals are going to taste a little different. There will be a bus ride in the morning going to the game. Everything is different, so how you handle those things when you get out of a routine can affect you. The bigger thing on the road is when the other team is playing good and the team gets loud, we are going to have to work on things we have never worked on and don't have a lot of game-ready operation on it like silent snap counts and those kinds of things. It is going to be a challenge. All you can do - you have to go down there, you can't be scared and you have to be prepared mentally and you can't be held hostage to anything that has happened in the past. That's how we are going to approach it."
On being winless vs. the Gators since 2004
"It is only relevant if the team makes it relevant. I've said it all along: you can't be held hostage to the past. We played last year and we had a good game going and they whipped us in the fourth quarter. We had a couple of turnovers at a bad time. Then we got a bunch of different guys who didn't play in that game playing now. So for the bulk of our team, this is the first time they are starting against Florida and guess what - they have a lot of new guys too. That stuff doesn't matter unless you make it matter. If you make it matter, it matters."
On what a win at Florida would mean for rejuvenation of the program
"It's the third game; it's the first SEC game. We could win down there and then go get shellacked the next six weeks in a row or we could lose down there and then go play great six weeks. For me, I'm not like that. I don't believe in `If we win this, we are going to get hot and take off or if we lose, the season's over.' That has no place in my coaching. It is the next game and we are going to go play it to win. We are going to go do everything we need to do to try to win the game and if we don't, we are going to try to learn from it and try to get better the next week. If we do [win], we are going to see what we didn't do well, why we won, and then go try to duplicate it the next week. If you approach it any differently than that, you are going to be an emotional wreck I think."
On the different look of John Brantley in the Florida offense
"It is probably a lot more suited for him and of course Charlie is going to do a great job of utilizing the things he does well and minimizing the things he doesn't do as well like every player has. He has a lot of good coaches around him, he has big time playmakers around him and they are going to try to get it in their hands quickly."
On the leadership of Tyler Bray
"It starts with his play and it helps if you are going to be a leader, being able to walk the walk is important. He has certainly played two very good football games. That is the starting point. I think secondly that goes with that is he has put a big investment in trying to be good. You see it on the practice field, you see it in the time he's putting in outside of practice. When you are putting a lot of investment and you are committing yourself to being good and you are playing good then you have the ability to affect others in a positive way."
On the improvement of pass protection
"It is significantly better. That doesn't mean it's good and we really haven't been tested. We haven't played a great, great.... This is going to be a big test for our o-line. These guys across the board are as talented as any group in the country. They are good. Is it better? Yes, significantly better. We went through last game and barely got touched when we through it forty-something times. We are doing a better job, but we haven't seen a lot yet. It's two games, it's early. I told the team yesterday, `Part of me says we haven't done anything yet, and we haven't but we have. We took care of two opponents we should have taken care of and we did them the way Tennessee should take care of them.' And I told them, `That's good - it's a good start.' Now - what's next? That's what matters?"
On managing after Dallas Thomas left with an injury
"We are not as good as having Dallas in there. It is hard to really say because the game was a little out of reach and we were just able to protect him through it. When we lose anybody it starts stressing us. Especially up front."
On Bray exceeding expectations
"I don't want to put a measuring stick on what he is doing right now. It is not a time for reflection. We are still in the war so we don't want to sit back and reflect on how we are playing because you have to play the next week. I will tell you if he exceeded expectations at the end of the year, but he's playing well; you can't hide that fact."
On Florida's Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps putting pressure on a defense
"Speed. Speed. Speed. Fast and elusive. And they use them for their return game, they use them to block punts - they are all over the field. They are faster than everybody out there. They have playmaking ability, so that have that competitive character and want to make the impact play of the game. When you combine those two things - watch out."
On Brendan Downs' early impact at tight end
"It's the benefit of mid-year; we talk about it a lot. He was able to go through the off-season program with us, he was able to go through 15 practices in the spring and then he goes the summer program and all of training camp. Naturally, he's further along and it gives you that advantage. It's paid off for him. He had a good game; he's done a good job. He did well the first game too; made two big catches."
On the running game's importance against a team like Florida
"It just depends on how your throwing game is. If your throwing game is what it looked like last week, you don't need a lot of running game. But if your quarterback's getting hit, you're getting confused back there and the o-line's struggling to protect them, you've got to have a running game."
"That's why I'll always be a downhill, power-running team from Day 1. Because when you have short yardage - we saw it last week - you've got to be able to push them out of there and get a yard. When you're in goal line, when you're in four-minute - there are so many situations in a game where you have to run the ball if you're going to win. We're going to need it every game; last week was a rare deal. Any close game you're going to need it because of all the critical situations with the clock, taking the pressure off the quarterback. We've got to keep improving there."
On how the schedule has helped the younger guys
"Cincinnati was a good football team. And I only say that from a program standpoint - not that we're better, just as a program I think people expect that. We played a really good team and I think we played one of the best I-AA teams out there that is a lot better than some of these I-A teams.
"Now having said that, we didn't play Boise and South Carolina, Oregon - I don't know. I don't know what the hypothetical is, how we would have played, how we would have handled it. Who knows? Sometimes they grow up quicker than you think and sometimes you need some time to groom them in."
On if the game plan include taking the orange slacks down to Gainesville
"I don't know. That's the last thing I'm worried about. I can assure you the orange slacks aren't the reason we're winning."
On the punting situation
"Matt (Darr) hasn't performed the way he's capable but he's still our punter. He just needs to get out there and get some snaps. We only had one punt the other day and he didn't punt it very well. Right now he's our punter; but we still use (Michael) Palardy if I have that feeling. It's just I'm standing there and turn around to Coach (Eric) Russell and say, `Put Palardy in.' It's a feeling. I wish I could articulate why.
"The thing Michael has is he's experienced, and sometimes with the situation I say, `Let's put our more experienced guy out there.' We keep bringing Matt along and when I feel like Matt has a true comfort level of where he is as a punter, we move."
On the significance of tight ends making eight catches against Cincinnati
"Tight end is important. We used the tight end a lot last year, and we're going to keep doing it this year. I'm a tight end guy, (Offensive coordinator Jim) Chaney's a tight end guy - we like throwing to the tight end. It just takes some pressure off the perimeter. You ought to complete about 85 percent of them - just boom, boom, throw it to the big guy. And if he's a good player, he can make some plays for you. They are all a little different."
On the tight ends' importance as the defense focuses more on Tennessee's wide receivers
"I think it's important all the time. The more guys you have who are weapons, the harder it is on a defense. That goes without saying."
On Marlin Lane's ball-security issues
"I think it's being young. I don't think he has issues other than being young and doesn't have a lot of experience. He has some breakdowns in fundamentals. You get away with bad fundamentals in high school, and you don't get away with bad fundamentals in college. Rajion (Neal) was the same way - bad fundamentals with how you hold the football. They don't have issues. It's not anything that can't get corrected with experience and a belief in the importance of fundamentals. They will be fine."
On if you are getting what you wanted from Lane at punt returner
"Not right now, but we're going to have to go through growing pains with true freshmen.
On if Devrin Young will be available this week
"I don't know. We're going to x-ray him this week and we will see. He's getting close, though. If not this game then next game."
On if the second-half time of possession against Cincinnati was part of the halftime adjustments
"Not coming out of halftime, but when we pulled away - that first drive was big and we pulled away. And then we held them to that field goal and we were up more than three scores. At that point, I felt like we had to think about shrinking the game. We were a little more ball control and a little less shots.
"What you don't want to do is say, `Yeah, let's put 50 or 60.' But you also don't want to screw it up and turn the ball over like we did. Get out of the game and get the win. Once you get in that fourth quarter and you're up three scores - I guess I'm a little old school."
On how encouraged from being able to do that
"Very encouraged. But we had some long drives against Montana too, and we had them in the scrimmages; I've mentioned that. The thing you feel good about is we've shown an ability to do both - hit some quick-strike explosive plays and grind it out a little bit.
On upper-classmen and starters making a difference on coverage teams
"Yeah but we haven't been challenged yet, and this week we're going to get challenged. This is probably the best return group out there, with those guys. We've played well but we haven't had a big-time juice guy in the back with a team that has a lot of great skill holding us up. That combination, Florida's got. We will see how we handle it, and on the road."
On the premium that puts on being able to directional kick
"It's a play, and if the kicker doesn't execute the play like everybody else, you start bleeding a little bit and everybody's got to stop the leaking. Everybody's going to have to play well."
On the competition at fullback
"Ben (Bartholomew), right now, is the starter. Ben did a good job; I was pleased with him. It doesn't mean Channing (Fugate) is on the shelf; we going to still play Channing. Channing's still a good player, but it's good to have competition. It's a healthy thing on a team."
On the play of Maurice Couch
"Mo had close to 30 snaps and was disruptive; did a good job in there. He's getting better every week and I told you from Day 1 we're not disappointed in him. I just think he needs a lot of snaps. He's a junior college guy but he's got three years (remaining), and we forget that. He's a young juco guy."
On the team's goal line stands and fourth-and-1 stops
"What's encouraging is just an aggressive nature more than anything. Not that you're so much better, but so many plays can get made with an aggressive attitude. Even when they run trick plays, fakes and all that stuff, you might have a lot of schematic breakdown. But if guys are playing fast and confident, and they see things and are not afraid to react, then you make those plays. That's why good teams usually do, because they've got a bunch of confident guys who aren't scared to make a mistake and they're not scared to trigger. Seeing our guys just trigger, it was fun to watch. That's why I was getting so excited.
"We misaligned, we screwed up some things on those too. But that's my point; that's usually what happens. They come out and do a funny formation and if you're tentative, they get you. But if you just line up and `let's go,' you can overcome a lot."
On Marcus Jackson earning the first spot off the bench for the offensive line
"Of course he's got good size and power, so his position-specifics up front are good. And I think just him being here mid-year, he's had the benefit of being in the system. You look at a guy like Tiny (Antonio Richardson), for example. Not only was he not here mid-year, but then he missed all summer and three weeks of camp. It's so much that you miss; it's just hard. I think him being here and he's got good physical tools, he's going to get better and better. I don't know how he's going to perform, though, when he goes out there. We'll see."
On the difficulty studying Florida with their new coaching staff
"We don't know what they're going to do. We did all that in the off-season like everybody else does, but I don't know how much it matters. We looked at Florida film; we looked at Texas film - you can watch it until you're blue in the face and then at the end of the day you go out there and they do something totally different. You've got to play."
On any advantages from Florida running a pro-style offense
"Well, they've got some guys who can hurt you. There's no advantage. They have really good coaching and they have playmakers. If they ran spread, I'd be nervous. They run pro-style, I'm nervous. If they ran wishbone, I'd be really concerned. If they ran the wing-T, because we don't see that very often, I'd be nervous. I don't think there's a scheme out there where we say, `We're in great shape.' We look at their guys and their coaches and see they have good players and good coaching; what's their scheme."
On confidence in Palardy making a deciding field goal
"I have 100 percent confidence in him. It doesn't mean he's going to do it, but I don't bat an eye with Mike. The way he executed that onside kick - that's a hard kick. But he's done it a lot in practice and he nailed it. And they were lined up a little tighter than what we had expected, and even he noticed that. Their guy was about a yard-and-a-half tighter than what we had seen. But a good kick, it doesn't matter; and he kicked it perfectly. He hit a good field goal there in the fourth quarter. I have a lot of confidence in Mike. He's young and he's talented, but he's confident and he's a good athlete."
On thoughts about calling off the onside kick after noticing Cincinnati's alignment
"No. Once you call it you've got to go, man. You can't get scared. Now we do have a lot of things where it's an auto if they give it to you, but that wasn't one of them."
On Bray's personality handling the decibel level at The Swamp
"I don't know; I have no idea. He could go out there and have a spring game, or he could go out there and light it up. I know this, it's not all on Tyler. We've got to block those four guys up front, we've got to handle all the blitzes and junk they are going to bring us, we've got to get open, we've got to catch the football. But if everybody does those things, that doesn't guarantee it either. Tyler's got to prepare and be ready."
On keeping his sophomores focused on the next game despite their early success
"That's been a challenge with all our young players, because they are a confident group and I like that. That term that's overused is `swagger.' OK, everybody loves using that term. But they have a good way about them, I'm going to use that term. They have a nice, competitive - they are not going to back down and they want to be good. They expect to be good, but they also are like most young players and don't have a lot of scars on them. It's hard to really be good consistently without getting some scars - having some bad moments, some screw-ups. That's what always concerns you.
"What I don't want to do is put my own scars on them and it kind of breaks their spirit. But at the same time, I don't want to tell them they're great because they're going to get their tales whipped. So far, they've been doing pretty well. I don't want to mess them up. I'm more nervous than those guys are. Sometimes I wonder if they even know we're not in the back yard, with a lot of people watching and depending on them. They're just playing and that's the way it should be. It really should."
On simulating Florida's punt-blocking unit
"You can't simulate the speed, and that's what gets you. Usually you are a little bit lazy and you have a breakdown in a technique or a fundamental, and their athleticism exposes you. The most important thing you can do is align right, do your technique perfectly, your eye-control is perfect and you execute it the way you've been coached to do. And if you do that, you'll be OK. But they prey on a little breakdown here and there, and they torch you with it. They've been doing it for a long time.
"But they do it on all phases - their punt game is hard to defend; their kickoff return game is just `juice-central' back there; their kickoff coverage unit, they're just flying by you. It's hard. So they're getting short fields and they're winning the vertical field-position game every game. I think that has contributed to their success as much as anything over the last five years, and it's something nobody really talks about."
On what needs to change for the secondary to improve
"Experience, better play - which will come with experience - better understanding of formations and adjustments, getting guys in the right spot, better tackling, better technique in coverage. We just need to get better. I told Justin (Wilcox) that we have about six or seven newcomers on defense, first-year guys. We've got three or four in the secondary, two at linebacker, d-line - they're going through a lot of the things we had to go through on the other side of the ball last year, when Bray was getting his helmet taking off about every third pass. And it's hard. So we've just got to be patient and coach and allow them to grow and improve, and get those scars and get better."
"All right, guys. I'm back to work."

Eloise Mumford will play Kate Kavanagh, Anastasia Steele's best friend and roommate, in Universal and Focus Features' Fifty Shades Of Grey. The deal, which our sister pub Variety sniffed out first, was finalized last night and should mark the last major casting in EL James' uber-popular erotic novel adaptation that James, Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti are producing, and Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing. Kelly Marcel wrote the initial draft of the screenplay with later work from Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback. Mumford stars in Universal's upcoming Not Safe For Work and on the TV side co-starred on short-lived series like Fox's Lone Star and ABC's The River, and is in ABC's midseason series Reckless. She's repped by Paradigm. Universal and Focus recently shifted the pic's release date from August 1, 2014 to February 13, 2015 — situating it nicely for Valentine's Day and a four-day holiday weekend thanks where Presidents Day falls that year.
Latest 'Fifty Shades' Casting: Eloise Mumford As Kate
6 Comments
So excited for Eloise! Say what you will about the project, but it's great to see her in something big.
Finally — some class in this movie! Eloise is a fantastic actress and a better person. This makes me actually interested in seeing the movie now.
I hope that all these actors from the 'B-list' can pull the 50 Shades story all together. It will be great for their careers and great for those of us who love the Christian-Anastasia stories. Good luck to all!
She's not horrible for Kate, but Kate in the books is definitely more bombshell and stunning. Couldn't really expect that though given how theyve cast the oter characters thus far. It's confusing because Ana, Christian, Elliot and Jose have all been cast so horribly and not like the characters in the books, but they got Kate and Ana's mom pretty decent? It's not a consistent cast at all. The only other thing with this girl is she's 27 and doesn't look 22, and yet still looks younger than Dakota. Ana is supposed to be just as beautlful as Kate but in a natural way, and next to old looking, homely Dakota, Eloise will steal the show. *sigh*
Um her And Dakota need to switch roles. Eloise has a sweet, beautiful face that's great for Ana. Dakota is just bleh and looks too old for her age.
I Loved reading all three books of fifty shades I'M glad they decided to make it into a movie I'm hoping the movie turns out as fascinating as the book's they really need a beautiful actress to play Ana and a gorgeous actor to play the very sexy fifty they must be able to show all the chemistry between the two of them can't wait to see the movie

By: Paris Permenter & John Bigley
In all our years of adopting cats and dogs, we've only kept the shelter name for one of our pets. Yoda, a Terrier mix, came to us with his name that seemed just right for the wise and spritely little fellow that he was. In every other case, however, we've changed our pet's shelter name. Inca came to us as Snitch. Irie was Abby. Tiki was Doris. None of the names fit the personalities that we were discovering in the early days after their adoption.
Should you change your pet's shelter name? In most cases, it's a non-question because your dog or cat mostly likely does not know this name. It's used for recordkeeping and to promote the pet on the shelter website as well as sites like Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet but, practically speaking, isn't a word that the pet identifies as his or her name. (The exceptions will be pets who have lived in foster home situations or ones who have been surrendered by previous owners.)
All of our adopted dogs and cats were previous strays so none had any attachment to their name. We called each by their shelter names and saw no reaction.
But what if your newly adopted pet does recognize their name and you want to change it? That can sometimes be a good decision for your pet's happiness and for the success of future training. If your new dog or cat came from an abusive situation, that name may be tied to memories of punishment. In that case, it's always better to rename.
Or your decision to change your pet's assigned name may be based solely on your own personal likes and dislikes. (Who wants a dog that shares a name with an ex? Or that boss you never could stand?) That's OK, too.
If your newly adopted dog or cat does not recognize their shelter name, feel free to just launch into a completely new name immediately. If there's a previous history with the name, you can gradually fade out the old name and introduce the new.
One easy way is to try a double name for a while. Harry can become Harry Jake. After a period of using both names, just start calling your dog Jake.
Or you can try rhyming a new name with the old. Harry can become Larry.
Regardless of your new shelter pet's name, just say it with lots of praise and happiness (and it never hurts to accompany it with some tasty treats at first). Always associating his name with good things and happy times will help your new pet learn his new name and, most importantly, the place he holds in his new forever home.
Have you renamed a pet you adopted?

We've been having some fun science time around our home lately. My husband and kids found a praying mantis in the yard. We got a cage and some crickets (10 for $1 at the pet store!) and had her for a couple of weeks. We know it was a "her" because she laid an egg sac! The last time we did this, we kept the egg sac in the garage all winter, then set it out in the spring. We saw the baby praying mantis hatch!
My preschoolers also did a simple activity to learn about leaves changing in the fall. I love all the great books at the library you can find about leaves changing!

China Boys offers a close-up view of the U.S. opening to China and the pioneer days in U.S.-China relations that followed. Diplomat Nicholas Platt describes preparations for the historic Nixon visit to China in 1972 and the interplay within the U.S. delegation during the visit itself. He recounts setting up America's first resident diplomatic office in the PRC, headed by David Bruce, and first encounters between Americans and Chinese, including Olympic athletes, orchestra maestros, Members of Congress, airplane manufacturers, bankers, scientists, and inner city youths. He further reveals the forging of the first links between the Pentagon and the People's Liberation Army following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and shows how these all these diverse practical ties later evolved into today's huge and crucial relationship. He also examines the role played by nongovernmental organizations like the Asia Society in building U.S.-China relations. "Nick Platt, a key participant when the Pentagon and the PLA began to talk to each other in 1979-80, illuminates the beginning of what is becoming the key relationship in the world's military balance." -HAROLD BROWN, U.S. Secretary of Defense, 1977-81 "China Boys is a timely, enlightening, and entertaining book by a distinguished U.S.-China relations insider who was with Nixon and Kissinger at the beginning and has enjoyed a ringside seat ever since. . . . Ambassador Platt provides valuable perspective and context for today's debate, as his engaging storytelling, keen insights, and wicked wit carry the reader through four decades of U.S.-China friendship, friction, and frustration." -JAMES MCGREGOR, author, One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in China, and former Wall Street Journal China Bureau Chief

Shinhoster, former NAACP National Field Secretary and Acting Executive Director; Gloster B. Current, former NAACP Director of Branch and Field Services; Medgar Wiley Evers, former NAACP Mississippi Executive Director; and Myrlie Evers-Williams, former NAACP National Board Chair.

The Prison Project will also provide information and assistance to aid NAACP units in their efforts to register former felons and to advocate for changes in laws that bar former felons from registering and voting.
The NAACP Health Advocacy Division will host a Health Symposium including panelists, Bevan Baker, Commissioner, Milwaukee Department of Health; Evelyn Lewis, MD., Pfizer, Inc and Winston Price, M.D. President, National Medical Association.

text: June 12th is what we take as Valenentine's Day here in Brazil. Feb 14th here usually falls around carnival time, let's say it's not the best time of the year to be commited to someone, and it's summer (not really the weather to be cuddling up...). We take the day before St. Anthony's Day (the wedding saint) as our Valentine's Day: it's almost winter here and we were short of a commercial day for June. So, if you forgot Feb 14 or is just looking for an excuse for a romantic day (as hot as th day might be ), here's your chance. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

Pierre Minguet, formerly business director polystyrene at INEOS Nova, is now vice-president business management polystyrene EMEA at Styrolution, he announced this week on LinkedIn.
Minguet has been in the position since October 2011, and is responsible for all aspects of business management of the polystyrene portfolio of Styrolution in Europe, Middle-East and Africa and the sales management of SBS & SBC.
Aromatics readers will no doubt remember Minguet's stirring speech at the memorable ICIS 5th European Aromatics and Derivatives Conference in Amsterdam in 2006, when he called for the polystyrene sector to have more of an influence on the European styrene monthly contract price.

BeschreibungAnalytic philosophy is alive and in good health, as this collection of twenty, previously unpublished essays most ably demonstrates. The reader will find here assembled some of the finest writings of modern analytic philosophers at the top of their form. Matthews discusses Plato's attempt to deal with the problem of false belief about identities. Parson evaluates Russell's early theory of denoting phrases. Chisholm exhibits the utility of thirteen epistemic categories. Plantinga criticizes Chisholm's account of justification. Conee argues that solving the Gettier Problem is important, and Ginet proposes a solution to it. Lehrer criticizes an argument based on the simplicity of our belief in material objects and other minds. R. Feldman defends an account of having evidence. F. Feldman defends a propositional account of pleasure. Van Fraassen criticizes Garber's solution to the problem of old evidence. Castañeda investigates the nature of negation. McKay argues that de se analyses of belief do not account for belief de re. Richard argues that no Fregean semantics for belief attribution will succeed. Ryckman suggests that the Millian theory of names has little to do with the theory of belief is no threat to God's omniscience. Dunn investigates constraints imposed on non-classical modal logics by extensionality. Fitch argues that singular propositions perform important functions in modal logic. Jubien evaluates arguments for and against possible worlds. Ratzsch argues that there must be a deeper source of nomicality than ordinary subjunctives, and Stalnaker argues that there is room for determinancy of identity and indeterminacy in reference.
