Iraq is but the beginning, a pretense for a wider conflict. Donald Kagan, a
central member of PNAC, sees America establishing permanent military bases
in Iraq after the war. This is purportedly a measure to defend the peace in
the Middle East, and to make sure the oil flows. The nations in that
region, however, will see this for what it is: a jump-off point for
American forces to invade any nation in that region they choose to. The

Thats common place. We still have active bases in south korea and germany 50 years after the fact. Nothing sinister about mantaining an honest invest of a major military base. For some reason liberals think you can start up a war machine like a fricken lawn mower, not so.

cough BS cough BS the terrorists are brain washed dirt farmers the foot soldiers atleast, or the higer ups are RELIGIOUS ZELAOTS who hate CRISTIANS it doesnt matter what are policy is, actually our DEMOCRACY makes it easier ... you dont see al quada taking a foot hold in China, any militiary dictatorships, or marxist nations, or highly christian catholic and UN pc countries like much of south america. Why do you think the al quada target us and say not CUBA, not venezula, not north korea. They wouldnt even be allowed to practice islam in most of those countries, they dont hate us for the reasons you think they do, they hate us cause we make it easy on them.

Richard Perle has already stated that France is no longer an American ally.
Nothing is more noble than giving money to third generation life long well fare recipiants, spending 40 grand per year on inmates, and wasteing money on bloated bureucracy. Spending money on defense especially proactive defense is a cardinal sin !!!! Hate to break it to you but we can afford it, if we could out spend the USSRwe can fight three or four piss ant coutries at the same time. Germany and france are double dipping sandbagers who want to play both sides for the benefit of their own miliatary infastructure, their own economy and will turn a blind eye to evil dictators if it keeps them in office. not out of noblility or some superior war savyness.

communism killed 50 million people!!! get a clue how many military dictators are you losing sleep over in africa right now .... none ! why? cause you hate america and you hate capitalism and are a self loathing freeman and feel guilty. Hundreds of times more people will die from poor water, no food, and diseases eradicated in western democratic capitalist societies cause they are ass backwards living in the middle ages and have no spine to stand up (also cuase they have no guns to fight their oppressors which by your liberal spin i bet you love gun control .... gun control has doomed 10s of millions) I guarantee you any wars we fight not even a half million will die.

uhhhh incorrect. First of all there are i belive 100 free democratic nations in the world right now. Compare to colonial and midevil times .... also gun ownership is the great equalizer.

Located on Hillsboro Pike, in an unassuming strip mall between a Shell gas station and a McDonald's, the Bluebird Café is one of the top venues in America for hearing up-and-coming (and already famous) singers and songwriters. The small, 100-seat room isn't fancy, but an evening there sure is fun. Country, rock, and contemporary Christian songwriters gather nightly for the 6 p.m. shows (6:30 on Friday through Sunday), sometimes joined by Bluebird alumni, such as Kathy Mattea and Garth Brooks.

Across the street from a Brooklyn bar I've been to once or twice -- oh, OK, maybe three or four times -- all right already, twice a week for the last year -- is a billboard advertising some drug for treating HIV. I don't recall the name of the drug, but the featured slogan is "Treat HIV your own way."
Isn't there something very odd about that? I mean, if I had a life-threatening disease (and please, I'm not trying to open a discussion about whether or not HIV is the cause of AIDS, an irrelevant issue given that the target audience of the ad accepts that it does), my focus would be on treating it in the most effective way, not in my own way.
Is one's course of treatment now a fashion statement, like a haircut or a body piercing? Obviously, at least some marketing professionals think so, since this ad campaign is out there.
"I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning." -- James Joyce

Possible Lives: Authors and Saints in Renaissance Italy
€ 68,49
Bisher € 69,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Februar 2005
BeschreibungPossible Lives uses the saints'lives written by humanists of the Italian Renaissance to explore the intertwining of classical and religious cultures on the eve of the European Reformation. The lives of saints were among the most reproduced and widely distributed literatures of medieval and early modern Europe. During the century before the Reformation, these narratives of impossible goodness fell into the hands of classicizing intellectuals known as humanists. This study examines how the humanist authors received, criticized, and rewrote the traditional stories of exemplary virtue for patrons and audiences who were surprisingly open to their textual experiments.
Drawn from a newly constructed catalog of primary sources in manuscript and print, the cases in this book range from the lure of martyrdom as the West confronted Islam to the use of saints'lives in local politics and the rhetorician's classroom. Frazier discusses the writers'perceptions of historical sanctity, the commanding place of the mendicant friars, and one unique account of a contemporary holy woman.
Possible Lives shows that the classical Renaissance was also a saintly Renaissance, as humanists deployed their rhetorical and philological skills to "renew the persuasive force of Christian virtue" and "save the cult of the saints." Combining quantitative and anecdotal approaches in a highly readable series of case studies, Frazier reveals the contextual richness of this little-known and unexpectedly large body of Latin hagiography.

Latics secure Kilbane signing
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Wigan have sealed a swoop for Everton's Irish international Kevin Kilbane.
Wigan Athletic have sealed a swoop for Everton's Republic of Ireland international Kevin Kilbane.
The winger has signed a three-year contract, with a further year's option, with The Latics, who have stumped up an undisclosed fee for the 29-year-old.
Kilbane, whose last Toffees appearance ended with a red card against Tottenham last weekend, expressed his happiness at moving to The JJB Stadium.
"Wigan had a terrific season last year, what they achieved was one of the stories of The Premiership," Kilbane told the club's official website.
"They are a highly ambitious club and have made some great signings over the summer.
"Paul Jewell is my type of manager because he likes to be close to the players and now I just want to join up with the rest of the squad and play my part."
The player was given leave from the Irish squad to finalise his move to Wigan, with Jewell feeling Kilbane is the ideal recruit to his ranks.
Jewell said: "I am delighted Kevin has agreed to come on board. He's another real quality acquisition for us, a highly experienced player who has seen it all at Premiership level.
"I have been a long-time admirer because he's a Wigan type of player, committed, athletic, quick and talented.
"He brings something we just haven't got at the club, a naturally left-footed attacking player.
"I have always maintained that I want at least two players for every position and Kevin will now give us a terrific option on the left hand side."
Everton signed Kilbane from Sunderland three years ago and the left-sider made 121 appearances during his time at Goodison Park.

text: Barbara Guest in reply to a question about subject matter: "Oh, yes. The subject matter. The subject matter. I know I was talking to some students in Santa Fe and they were very worried about when I said well what have you been writing, and they said, well, not very much. I realized that they were disturbed more by what they thought was in front of them that they didn't want to write about, so I told them that the subject matter wasn't important. And this released them. They were thrilled. They went around for days saying she said the subject doesn't matter. Because the idea is that sometimes you find the subject as you proceed with the poem. It's a good rule. It doesn't always work, but it's a good rule."


text: Ok- Looking for the proper application and equipment. Here's what I have so far... I have a 10" dual action buffer thing, I got a can of wax, I have a container of polishing compound, and a bottle of swirl remover. I am trying to get the light surface imperfections off my (black) truck and get a gloss going to it. Here's what I've done so far: 1--- Terry cloth and polishing compound to put it on with the 10" buffer in smaller sections. Fluffy buffer thing to buff when it's hazed and dried. Ended up with a haze that was very hard to remove so I figured the 10" terry cloth buffer was a bad idea - or I was doing it wrong. 2--- Moved to the wax. I got a tin of Mother's Carnauba Cleaner Wax and applied by hand with a terry cloth. Fluffy buffer thing to buff when it's hazed and dried. Ended up with marks all over the place from the application and it would not come off. I don't think the car was too hot or anything so I'm not sure what went on there. I was left with white streak marks everwhere like I had quickly wiped half the hood with a white bar of soap. 3--- Moved to Mcguiar's Swirl remover with the DA buffer/terry cloth thinking it would at least take care of all the crap left over from the wax but that ended up not going all too well. Ended up having most of the wax marks left and, at some point, I've gotten little white dots all over that won't come off unless I use my thumb nail. I'm guessing they are dried bits from the buffing of...something...? What am I doing wrong, what am I supposed to be doing, and what am I supposed to be doing it with!?? Flashvan- If you come across this thread I'd be interested in knowing what you may have and what you recommend for getting something nice and waxy and shiny andd protected.

- Publisher's Summary
- This is the ultimate introduction, textbook, and reference on decoherence and the quantum-to-classical transition. This detailed but accessible text describes the concepts, formalism, interpretation, and experimental observation of decoherence and explains how decoherence is responsible for the emergence, from the realm of quantum mechanics, of the classical world of our experience. Topics of this title include: foundational problems at the quantum - classical border; the role of the environment and entanglement; environment-induced loss of coherence and superselection; scattering-induced decoherence and spatial localization; master equations; decoherence models; experimental realization of 'Schrodinger kittens' and their decoherence; quantum computing, quantum error correction, and decoherence-free subspaces; implications of decoherence for interpretations of quantum mechanics and for the 'measurement problem'; and, decoherence in the brain. Written in a lucid and concise style that is accessible to all readers with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, this stimulating book tells the 'classical from quantum' story in a comprehensive and coherent manner that brings together the foundational, technical, and experimental aspects of decoherence. It will be an indispensable resource for newcomers and experts alike. 'Reads like a bestseller. An engaging and intuitive treatment of a very important subject, combining the scope of a monograph with the clarity of a textbook and the intellectual excitement of a Sherlock Holmes adventure' - Wojciech Zurek, Los Alamos. 'Everyone who works in the borderlands between quantum and classical physics, from philosophers of physics to quantum-computer technologists, will find much here to stimulate and inspire' - Gerard Milburn, University of Queensland. 'A thorough, readable, and very useful account of decoherence theory and its diverse applications. Valuable as a text and as a reference work, both for graduate students and for active researchers in the field' - Steve Adler, IAS, Princeton.

Awesome Albums: Belair Instant Back by pearlgirl772014-03-07 2 3 Share Tweet
If you've been curious and wanting to see more instant photos taken using the Belair X 6-12 and its dedicated instant back, we have just the awesome album for you!
It has only been almost a month ago since the Belair Instant Camera was introduced, but we got a little bit curious about the instant snaps our fellow lomographers have taken with the triple-tasking Belair X 6-12 (helped by its very own Instant Back, of course). So, we scoured around and found pearlgirl77 's awesome album of Belair instants!
While the photos above are among pearlgirl77's first instants with her Belair City Slicker, we're sure she'll be mastering taking Belair instants eventually and will soon share with us even more awesome instant Belair snaps. "I will further experiment and photograph like there's no tomorrow," she says in her Belair Instant Back review!
The Awesome Albums series is exactly what it says on the tin — it's a love letter of sorts from the Editors addressed to user-uploaded albums that had caught their eye and had inadvertently fallen in love with. Please understand though, they're really just here to express their love and nothing more.

Being able to do things differently and/or see things diffrently - is frugal
So I was thinking about flexibility and knowing how do do things differently is frugal and would come in handy in down economic times.
Knowing that vinegar could be used to clean instead of store bought cleaners would come in handy if the price of cleaners was to much or the stores were out or low.
I can make mac and cheese five different ways depending on what is on hand or available or cheap.
each needing different stuff, white sauce method, box, evaporated milk method, Velveeta method, and I have a recipe for Alfredo that used chicken broth instead of milk so I bet you could use Chicken broth in place of milk in a mac and cheese recipe but I have not tried it.
Only have long sleeves in the clearance or thrift store or hand me down box but need short sleeves can you make short sleeves out of the long sleeve shirts.
Toddler needs pj's and you have a tight pair of pj bottoms with some sewing you can turn them into pj bottoms for your toddler. No matching top? maybe a they have a ti shirt in thier drawer with a stain that could become the pj top. Or make a night gown for the toddler with an adult shirt possible from your drawer.
You can save money and have what you need by looking at things differently and knowing how to do things differently.
Like I tell Little Miss when she say "There is nothing to eat" I say don't look at what isn't there (your favorite treat LOL) look to see what you can make with what is in there.
So learn alternative ways to do and make things and look at things differently.

you r so correct it is easy to say but for some it is a different mind set. dawn dish liquid is for washing dishes and treating stains. veggies from left over become soup, sweat pants with holey knees or stains become shorts in the summer time. Raise the shade for light rather than turning on the light.08-09-2011, 12:47 PM #3

Great post! We were challenged at church recently in this way. A missions team that had worked in Haiti was giving a report. They showed a pillowcase dress and urged us to make these to send to the mission. Just use an old pillowcase and open up the other end, so that it becomes a tube. Then use ribbon or scarves, or whatever to sew on straps. They said so many little girls over there are wearing these, and they are airy and cool for them. I never would have thought to reuse old pillow cases like this. Plus, they were cute!Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements08-09-2011, 01:21 PM #4
I have also seen cute dress made out of men shirts. Again several different tutorials and instructions on the net.
These are good things to know to have in your frugal knowledge bank.
I use to make Little Miss baby dresses by taking a onsie and adding some material to make the skirt.
I once saw a blog where a lady used the onsie her daughter was toddler and didn't wear hem anymore since she was potty training. so the mom used the old onsies and added material sewn to the the bottom to make the skirt then cut off the snap part and bingo a big potty trained/training girl dress.

I recently used white vinegar and water to clean my kitchen floor, it looks great.
I hate the unknown chemicals in cleaning supplies so I'm sticking with the vinegar.08-09-2011, 05:16 PM #6
I like to take an empty spray bottle and fill it almost all the way up with water and then add downy to it and shake.
That is my febreeze. Since I use coupons and shop the sales to get the downy dirt cheap it is really cost effective. Pennies a bottle and I can go to town with it without worrying about the cost.08-09-2011, 06:21 PM #7

What an excellent post!
Just cleaned my counter with vinegar-water mix... I hate the smell of pine sol. I have some left under the counter, so am thinking I'll "make myself" use it up, just to not waste it! Can't wait for it to be just the vinegar cleaner, though!Kace - married to Dh for 16 years
Always pinchin' pennies!08-09-2011, 07:07 PM #8
Vinegar, baking soda, cheap bleach, comet....any inexpensive cleaner is what I use. I've used vinegar and water to clean my linoleum floors for many years. I keep a spray bottle mixed with a little bleach and water to clean and sanitize with. I like to put a few drops of Dawn dish soap in it.
Old tshirts are great for cleaning rags as well as old socks. When my kids were little they liked sleeping in mommy and daddy's hand me down tshirts. Socks are great used when your staining furniture or wood work.
Cook from scratch and if you don't know how...now is the time to start searching this forum and googling others to learn how. Its not that hard to learn the basic skills.08-09-2011, 07:33 PM #9

I call this being creative, and thinking 'outside the box'. It's a necessity I think. My question is, how much could you do if the Internet went down due to cyber attack? I try to have a base amount of supplies and basic books on hand so I have instructions for doing things. Though truth be told, I could figure out a lot of things.08-11-2011, 02:02 AM #12

I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this, but I use clothes-pins for chip bag clips. And again nothing new, but also re-use cereal bags for freezing. We go thru TONS of cereal and crackers, so TONS of bags! The cracker sized bags are perfect size for packing a hero sandwich for lunches. Cutting them in half is NOT an option! LOL!!
Also whenever I shop at places like JCP's, or Kohls, I do not hesitate to ask them for their largest bags instead of several smaller ones. These I use for garbage bags. If I told you it's been at least 2 years since I had to buy a box of trash bags, would you call me a "shopaholic"?? HA!
Another goodie that saves me a ton>> If your store offers free gift wrapping for your purchases, ask them for the gift wrap, boxes, bows, etc. for each item you bought to take home instead of them wrapping for you. I frequent a great store called Beall's, that is only in FL. They always have a beautiful asst of wrapping papers, from new baby to wedding styles. I have collected a huge lot of wrap for ANY occasion! I plan on schoolshopping there, so will be stopping by the station for sure.
For the little girls in your life >> Take an empty shoebox, gather decorative papers, fabric scraps, eyelet ribbon, and anything else you might have around to make doll house rooms. The eyelet makes great curtains hung on a tootpick curtain rod. Use empty thread spools for tables and chairs. So much fun searching, and a great way to get their imaginations growing.
The round style oatmeal boxes can be covered, and make great banks with an easy cut slot in the top. Try making animals for the banks. Again scraps of fabrics, pipe cleaners, googley eyes, etc.
Do those ideas fall under the topic? I have a tendency to wander OT sometimes. ...sorry if i did!

1. Keep your guests awake. Once, we served an enchilada buffet: six kinds, chips too. By 8:30, everyone was in a carb coma. Did someone really unbutton their pants? Researchers at the University of Manchester have found that some brain cells are actually sluggish after too much food. Fluctuating glucose apparently affects those cells' production of proteins called orexins, which regulate levels of consciousness. Perhaps that explains why unlikely romantic matches occur at holiday parties. Not paying attention, are we? Solve the problem of drowsy brains by serving lighter fare and plenty of vegetables so your guests can enjoy the party—and not pair up in socially awkward ways.

Just about any current book on photography will have a chapter, maybe two on HDR or HDRI photography. It's the hot topic and most of today's photography forums feature photographers who have been able to master it. Is it rocket science – no; but, there is some science behind it.
Christian Block, in his revised 2nd edition of The HDRI Handbook 2.0, goes into that science in more depth than most, with the idea that if you understand what's happening behind the curtain, you're liable to be able to do more with the process.
Full chapters are dedicated to HDR subjects such as:
- Selection of HDR software
- Capturing the image
- Tonemapping
- Image editing
- Panoramic HDR
- 3D Rendering
While this book has more science to it than most I've seen, the author keeps those sections light enough with great examples, illustrations, and crossword puzzles. Each chapter also has interviews with some of the leading proponents of HDR and beautifully done samples of their work.
Chapter two does the absolute best review of all the HDR processing programs on the market along with all sorts of plug-ins, apps and compositing programs. Each is rated and pros/cons are described for each. One inexpensive piece of software mentioned on page 76 has revolutionized the way I preview RAW files. I also learned on page 114 that Lightroom is trashing some of the shadows and highlights when it's passing off the files to plug-in apps. There's a way to simply avoid that and it's detailed as well.
In chapter three there's a discussion (first I've seen) about why shooting JPEG's for HDR is better than RAW files. Heresy? I know. But the author makes a good case for the situations where this makes a lot of sense.
In addition to the wealth of knowledge in the book, you also get a companion DVD with samples used in the book, so you can work along, sample copies of programs to try and all sorts of other misc. goodies
It doesn't take long to realize this book is giving you information I've never found anywhere else. It's not a pocket book you'll carry around by a long shot (650+ pages) but it's a bible you can return to again and again for specific help as you need it.
Look for it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble in hardcover or eReader formats.

EAST LAKE — It is only natural to think of East Lake's boys team more in terms of the future than the present.
After all, the Eagles lost their top five golfers from last year who helped the team make three straight state tournaments. Now, the starting lineup consists of three sophomores — Parker Fox, Sebastian Hilpl and Zack Wood — among its top five.
Because of that, it seemed East Lake was destined to win championships later rather than sooner.
There are older, more experienced teams that have been waiting their turn at the top, and the Eagles have not served the lengthy apprenticeship that seems mandatory before winning a team title.
But for a young East Lake team, the future is now.
The Eagles won the Pinellas County Athletic Conference North County championship Tuesday by shooting 157 to beat defending champion Palm Harbor University by a stroke.
"These guys have been working hard and concentrating on their drills," East Lake coach Terry O'Reilly said. "They're starting to believe in themselves and have that attitude of why not us."
Dunedin's Travis Huston won individual honors with 35, 1 under par. Fox was right behind at 37. The Eagles' other two sophomores, Hilpl and Wood, shot 39 and 40, respectively. East Lake was the only team to have three golfers shoot 40 or below.
"We're starting to play well together," O'Reilly said. "Hopefully this is good for us going into the postseason."

Justice Department Wins First Conviction Under Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act
May 25, 2011 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
A federal jury recently convicted an Arkansas man of committing hate crimes against five Hispanic men. The trial conviction of Frankie Maybee is the first under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA).
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Maybee and Sean Popejoy, both of Green Forest, Ark., accosted the victims at a gas station, then pursued them in a truck, yelling racial epithets and repeatedly slamming their truck into the victim's car. Eventually, the car was rammed across the road, smashed into a tree, and ignited in flames. All five of the victims suffered injuries, including one whose injuries are life-threatening.
"The defendants targeted five men because they were Hispanic, and today's verdict shows that the Justice Department is committed to vigorously prosecuting individuals who perform acts of hate because of someone's race or national origin," said Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division. "We will continue to use the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act and every other tool in our law enforcement arsenal to identify and prosecute hate crimes whenever they occur."
The HCPA, passed in October 2009, expanded the previous hate crimes law, giving the federal government jurisdiction over prosecuting hate crimes in states where the current law is inadequate or when local authorities are unwilling or do not have the resources to do so themselves. It also expands the federal government's authority to investigate and prosecute hate crimes to include bias-motivated crimes based on the victim's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.
Popejoy plead guilty on May 16 to one count of committing a federal hate crime and one count of conspiring to commit a federal hate crime.

Remember That Dude Who Spanked His Tenant For Being Late On The Rent? Now He's In Hot Water For Paddling A Retard At His Super Market
WAYNESVILLE–For the second time, a Waynesville supermarket owner has been accused of spanking grown men. The civil lawsuit filed this week, states a 57-year old mentally disabled man is seeking damages from Ron Kronenberger, for severe emotional distress. Michele Dakin said her brother, Mark Neace was a volunteer at Hometown Marketplace in Waynesville. Dakin said he stocked shelves for the grocery store's owner, Ron Kronenberger, who was a good family friend. Dakin said at least three times, Kronenberger brought her mentally challenged brother in the back office and beat him on the bottom with a paddle. Her brother said he was paddled for " being bad" and talking to customers. Dakin says Kronenberger told her brother not to tell anyone what had happened. She said her brother finally confessed when he told his family he didn't want to volunteer anymore. "I was just outraged." Dakin said. " I was shocked. This was someone we trusted . He did this behind our backs, knowing that my brother has problems. I'm just really saddened by the whole thing. I really am."This is the second time Kronenberger has been accused of spanking. Last month he was in a Lebanon courtroom, accused of spanking his tenant for not paying rent.
Remember Ron Kronenberger? Spanked the shit out of his tenant because he was late on rent. Welp turns out he's at it again. Just spanking retarded kids at his grocery store for talking to customers instead of stocking the shelves. So thats it I guess. Spanking is like this guy's thing. His trademark. All the great ones leave their mark. The Wet Bandits leave the faucets running. The Joker leaves a playing card. Ron Kronenberger leaves his victims with red, swollen cheeks. Everywhere he goes, he leaves a trail of abused asses in his wake. Doesn't matter whether you're his apartment tenant or his retarded supermarket slave – you cross Ron Kronenberger your ass is getting paddled.

1. Official Statistics is committed to quality.
2. Quality has many dimensions and means different things in different settings. Quality can refer to organisations, to processes and to products. Organisational quality is outside the scope of GSIM and GSBPM.
3. Quality is not a separate information object or group of information objects in GSIM, but can be adequately described with the current information objects. This scenario shows how the production of quality indicators can be described, how these indicators can be used in rules to control the production process and how the indicators can be integrated in a quality report.
Quality measures and reports
132. This scenario has two parts and looks a little different to the previous four scenarios . The first part describes a process that could be used to calculate response rates (i.e. a quality measure), and the second part how these rates could be included in a quality report in the form of a qualitative assessment. Refer to Figure 1 for a representation of the scenario.
133. Part 1: Calculate the response rates needed for a set of data
a) A process is setup to calculate the response rates for a Data Set .
b) A quality check is included as a part of this process
134. Part 2: A qualitative assessment statement is included in a quality report.
a) A quality report is prepared
Mapping of example description to GSIM information objects
135. GSIM can be used by those people involved to identify the pieces of information that they require to undertake their roles and in the design of systems.
136. Part 1: Calculate the response rates for a set of data .
a) A process is setup to calculate the response rates for a Data Set - First, a Process Step Design is created to outline the specification of the Process Step , in this case the calculation of the response rates for a particular Data Set . The design includes the Process Input Specification and Process Output Specification – the required inputs, and expected outputs of the Process Step .
For the response rate calculation example, the inputs include original Data Set, the Instance Variables that describe the original Data Set for which the response rates are to be calculated, and the parameter Inputs , (the calculation formulas used to obtain the Unit and Item response rates). The expected outputs of the described Process Step will include a new Data Set of the calculated response rate data, and new Instance Variables to represent the data.
The execution of the
Process Step
is recorded by the
Process Step Execution Record
, which identifies the (actual) inputs and outputs at the time of the process execution. In this example the response rate calculation process is itself made up of
. Each of these
Process Steps
was defined through
Process Step Design
, and then when
captured by the
Process Step Execution Record
b) A quality check is included as a part of this process - As part of the overall Process Step Design , a Process Control was included in the Process Step as a quality check. This quality check stage allows for a check point in the procedure to ensure the calculated response rates are within an acceptable range.
If the calculated rates are within an acceptable range, the output of the process (both the calculated
Instance Variables
can be used in a subsequent
Process Step
(scenario part 2). If the calculated rates are not accepted, then the process ends, and other
Process Steps
may need to be employed (such as a review of the collection
Process Steps
to allow for more acceptable response rates).
Part 2: A qualitative assessment statement included in the quality report.
a) A quality report is prepared - First, Process Step Designs are created for the Process Steps , in this case the preparation of the quality report which includes a qualitative assessment (based on the calculated response rates).
There are two
Process Steps
involved. The first is the
Process Step
of preparing the qualitative assessment of the calculated response rates. The
Process Inputs
are the
Data Set
created from the
Process Step
in Part 1 and the
Process Output
is a
(the qualitative assessment statement).
This Representation in turn becomes the Process Input of the second Process Step which is the creation of the quality report. The Process Output is a Product.
The execution of the overall Process is recorded in two Process Step Execution Records .

Lisa Marie Presley is back, at least musically speaking. She will release her third album Storm & Grace on May 15 and the daughter of Elvis Presley is gearing up with plenty of promo opps.
Fans in Memphis and Los Angeles will be able to join with Presley in celebrating the album's release.

Softball Inks Five to National Letters of Intent
Nov. 21, 2012
The San Diego State softball team has signed five athletes to National Letters of Intent, head coach Kathy Van Wyk announced today. The list of five includes Sydnee Cable (Huntington Beach, Calif./Marina HS), Jaylene Ignacio (San Diego/El Camino HS), Frankie Orlando (Roseville, Calif./Woodcreek HS), Erica Romero (Santiago, Calif./Corona HS) and Andi Smith (Emery, Utah/Emery HS).
Cable comes to The Mesa after playing her club ball with Pure FastPitch and her prep ball at Marina High School. A four-year letterwinner with the Vikings, Cable hit .441 (15-for-34) in the spring with five doubles, two triples and a home run. Cable, who has seen time at first base and as a pitcher over her career, has helped Marina to three straight trips to the CIF tournament and a Sunset League title in 2010, where she led the Vikings in home runs.
A local product out of El Camino High School in Oceanside, Calif., Ignacio hit .367 (29-for-90) last season with the Wildcats with a .595 slugging percentage and .444 on-base percentage. A second baseman, she added six homers, 21 runs and 19 RBIs en route to earning first-team Avocado League West honors for the second consecutive year. A scholar-athlete and two-time member of the Union-Tribune All-Academic Team, Ignacio plays her club ball with The Next Level (TNL).
Orlando takes her talents to the Aztecs after excelling for the Lady Magic 18 GOLD (club team) and Woodcreek High School. Last year the catcher/outfielder batted .317 (26-for-82) with 16 RBIs as the Timberwolves captured the Sac-Joaquin Division II section championship with a 26-4 overall record. A four-year letterwinner with Woodcreek HS, Orlando earned first-team all-Sierra Foothill League accolades last season.
Romero becomes the third Santiago High School product to join SDSU in the past four years, joining current senior twin sisters Kamerin May and Kristin May. Last year with the Sharks, the right-hander went 10-7 with a 2.41 ERA and 103 strikeouts in 110 innings. As a sophomore in 2011, Romero helped Santiago capture the CIF-SS Division I title and finish No. 1 in the final CalHiSports.com state rankings by going 16-3 with a 1.37 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 128 innings. A two-time first-team all-league pick, Romero plays her club ball with the Minors Gold.
An Emery, Utah, native, Smith is the lone recruit in this talented class from outside the state of California. Smith, a right-handed power pitcher, will be playing her club ball with the Utah Crush in 2013 after playing for the eighth-ranked club team in the country in Salt Lake Pegasus in 2012, where she averaged more than two strikeouts per inning. In 2011, SLP finished seventh in the ASA Championships. Smith is also a scholar-athlete.
San Diego State is coming off a 32-24 season in 2012, advancing to the NCAA tournament for a school-record fifth consecutive year and capturing its fifth Mountain West title. The Aztecs went 2-2 in the NCAA Los Angeles Regional before being eliminated in the regional championship game for the second straight year, falling just short of the NCAA Super Regionals (equivalent to the Sweet 16). SDSU finished with single-season program records in slugging percentage (.466), doubles (79), home runs (58), RBIs (237) and total bases (692), and received votes in both national polls.
San Diego State kicks off its 2013 slate in Tempe, Ariz., when it competes in Arizona State's Kajikawa Classic from Feb. 7-9. Two of the Aztecs' five games at the classic will be against 2012 NCAA tournament teams, including Northwestern (Feb. 8) and Women's College World Series qualifier Arizona (Feb. 9). SDSU also plays Creighton (Feb. 7), Stephen F. Austin (Feb. 8) and Western Michigan (Feb. 9).

Treasure Island is a game made in less than 48 hours for a job interview. It's a gambling game where you bet fake money and need to dig treasures for it to be worth it.
Hi everyone! I'm Johan Lajili and this is my porfolio. You can find my games, some that are playable, some that are not. If you're looking for my resume or skills, I recommand you going to my linkedIn page instead.
Treasure Island is a game made in less than 48 hours for a job interview. It's a gambling game where you bet fake money and need to dig treasures for it to be worth it.
Zeegzag 3 a.k.a FierySnake is iOS and Android game developped in JavaScript and compiled into native with CocoonJS. It's my most recent game, and it's currently in validation before it can go on the stores. FierySnake is inspired by Flappy Bird, especially when it comes to managing the difficulty. Technically, it uses my own HTML5 game template which is powered by PIXI.JS for the rendering.
Folks is an animal-crossing like realized in team as a school project. Using JavaScript both Client Side and Server Side, it's a technical difficulty nest: Managing an astronomic quantity of animated graphical assets, it uses the facebook API, has real time events mixed with timed with the player tutorials.
WordFactory is a Flash Game realized in team during the King.com first french hackathon. Designed to follow the philosophy of King.com games, it mixes an easyly accessible game with a cute universe and a profound gameplay strategy.
Zeegzag 2 is the second version of Zeegzag. Developped in JavaScript during my time at Toxicode, it is designed to be a very casual (kid friendly) HTML5 mobile game. Though it's my least favorite version of Zeegzag, it does amuse children that dare play it.
Tanks is a game I made in team during my time at Isart Digital. Largely inspired by the similar Wii Play minigame, it's an online multiplayer tank battle. Developped completely in JavaScript (both client and server side), it includes Box2D for the tank physics.
SirBolt (formerly known as Forceloop) is a unity C# game for iPad I made in a team as a school project. It's close to a minigolf, with the addition of portals, magnets and a frictionless environement. It was my first real unity game. Unfortunatly, I never had the time to finish it, so here is a demo.
Bcons is a game made in 8 hours with a friend for a Unity exam at school. It's neither polished nor finished, but the concept is fun so I put it here anyway. Use the space bar to place beacons on screen, and the alt key to activate them. One beacon will explode, two beacons will create a line that will slow down the enemies, and three beacons will destroy everything inbetween them.
Serum 42 is a puzzle game I made in JavaScript with a graphist in one week during the HTML5 Game Week at Isart Digital. The concept is close to the Sudoku. Place your bacterias in the grid to balance each line and column. With more than 600 levels (generated by a computer), it's a super cool game.
I.C.U is a flash game i made as a school project. With the theme being "60s game, no more, no less", I made a typing game with an adaptative difficulty.
Play & Watch is a game I made in a team during the 2012 HTML5 game jam. Our personal goal was to create a new Game 'n watch game, with the same contraints they had back then.
Zeegzag, first of his name, is a Java game for android (yes, I did a tiny little bit of Java). The game requires a not-too-fancy-nor-too-cheap android phone, because I didn't even knew what delta time was back then. But it really is fun and I know some people who went addict with this game. It's the reason why it has had two sequels.
Watergrass is a game initially made in a day in JavaScript for an exam, and then polished a little bit more. It's my first successful game with over 4000 unique player and even a clone made by fans of the game. I think of creating a sequel for this game sometime.
Close to being my first real game ever, RGB is a puzzle game made a first time in flash and a second time in JavaScript. With the ability to switch the colors of cells from red to blue, blue to green and green to red, one line / column at a time, change the grid color to the one expected by the level.

The Land of Nod Fall CollectionPosted July 09 2014
Big news in sass&peril land! Four, yes FOUR, of our designs are available at The Land of Nod as framed prints for their Fall collection! Apart from being framed, these pieces have backgrounds, even faux-wood textures for a few of them. I've done commissions for the LON before, but having my own designs associated with them is a huge accomplishment for my little business. I've always regarded the LON and the artists they work with as top notch so it is an honor to be part of the "club". (It's also proof that if you keep on chugging, and take risks to put yourself out there, it can really pay off!)
Hop on over to The Land of Nod's site and check out all the new goodies, there are some really great collections with designs for every personality and style.

The Next Chapter: Joining Citrix Online
A little more than 2 years ago Chris Brogan and I were both attending the first Social Media Jungle event in New York so we decided to carpool down together. During those 5 hours or so of driving and over a dinner at a Chili's in Middletown, CT later that night, we talked about a new project that he was launching. He was getting ready to unveil New Marketing Labs to the world and was close to signing the first contract which was going to be with Citrix Online (the folks who make GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, and other similar products). That night we talked about what we thought the future of business looked like, their use of social media and how NML could be helpful. After more conversations and brainstorming, often in the middle of the night over DM, we set sail, launched NML and I relocated to the Boston area. A couple days after the launch we found ourselves on an airplane headed out to CES to tell anyone who would listen that we were there to be helpful.
Since that trip 2 years ago we have had the opportunity to work with some great companies on amazing projects. In between launching new projects for our clients, we continued to grow the Inbound Marketing Summit, launched Red Pin Marketing and The Pulse Network. There are also some really exciting projects on the cusp of launching over the coming days and weeks that I can't wait to see after working through them for the past several months with the team.
However, as they prepare to announce these launches, I will be cheering them on instead of on the front lines. I'm excited to announce that I'm joining the team at Citrix Online as part of the corporate communications team and will be overseeing social communications.
Over the past 2 years I've worked closely with the folks over at Citrix including Bernardo De Albergaria, David Baeza, Lisa Horner and many others. They are among one of the brightest and most forward thinking teams that I've met and had the opportunity to work with. I start with Citrix Online on January 17th, a mere few hours after I return from sailing around the Grenadines. I'm looking forward to the challenges that I know are awaiting me when I get there and am really excited for what 2011 holds in store.
It's an interesting intersection of passions for me because it combines my experiences in social media, marketing and communications along with my interests and continued research into productivity, time management and workshifting, all things which the Citrix Online products assist with. I'm looking forward to continuing to explore all of these areas, including my role leading up social communications, in more depth in the coming year. Throughout the year I'll be covering a lot of this in my free newsletter (have you signed up yet?).
With the new job comes a new place to explore. Within the next couple months Laura and I will be packing up the dog, cat, putting the car on a trailer and driving a moving truck across the country to our new home, San Francisco. We'll trade our view of the Prudential Center for the Golden Gate Bridge and for a whole new set of experiences filled with exploration.
I can't thank Chris and the entire team at NML enough for the past 2 years. I've grown professionally and personally because of the great people that comprise the NML team. Now I'm going to use those experiences and growth to help me be achieve success as I start the next chapter of my career with Citrix Online.
And don't worry, my allegiance to the Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots will not change. Heh.

Andrew M. McGreevy: Arlington National Cemetery and Yasukuni Jinja ... History, Memory, and the SacredRoundup: Talking About History
Arlington National Cemetery and Yasukuni Jinja (The Shrine of the Peaceful Land)
are symbols of the histories of the United States of America and Japan. Arlington
National Cemetery and Yasukuni Jinja have a common purpose--to honor the war
dead--but the two are very different. Arlington National Cemetery, which was
created in controversy, is today is a place of peaceful repose. Yasukuni Jinja
had very dignified origins, yet now is embroiled in disputes.
The "Yasukuni Problem" (Japanese remorse for its actions in World War II and the survival of militarism), continuing war-related litigation, and territorial conflicts with China and Korea whose roots also lie in earlier wars all remain issues in 2005. In the U.S., World War II, but not Arlington National Cemetery, was the subject of intense debate in 1995 and 2003 over the "Enola Gay" exhibit at the Smithsonian on the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the end of World War II. However, American debates hardly compare to the ferocity and protracted character of the war-related issues that continue to stalk Japan.
Arlington National Cemetery, in Washington, D.C., grew from the bitter circumstances of the American Civil War, 1861-1865. Some of the early fighting of the war was very close to Washington, D.C., and Arlington, an estate owned by Mary Anna Custis Lee, the wife of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, was near the battle sites. Union Army officials confiscated the estate and used the land as a hastily improvised military graveyard, in effect punishing Lee for his role in the Civil War. After the war, Custis Lee, Robert E. Lee's son, successfully sued the federal government for the loss of the family estate. The federal government established Arlington National Cemetery in 1883.
Yasukuni Jinja, located on Kudan Hill in Tokyo, was created as a Shinto religious shrine in 1869 to honor soldiers who fought in a civil war to bring the Emperor Meiji to power in 1868. The formal title of "Yasukuni Jinja (The Shrine of the Peaceful Land) was bestowed in 1879 to proclaim that Japan was at peace because of the sacrifice of its war dead. Those enshrined are revered as deities, i.e. kami, "noble gods." Honors were extended beyond military personnel to include civilians who worked for the military and women and children who died in certain war-related circumstances.
Established with elaborate imperial and Shinto ceremonies, Yasukuni Jinja became a major national institution as Japan fought in the first Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), World War I , the Manchurian Incident (1931) and then the second Sino-Japanese War and World War II, known in Japan as the Greater East Asian War (1937-45). Yasukuni Jinja was revered as the site honoring Japan's military who gave their lives in the service of the emperor. The names, rank and places of death of fallen veterans and others to be honored were preserved for veneration. Yasukuni Jinja today is controversial because of its close association with the monarchy, and particularly with the wars fought in the name of the emperor. Above all, the fact that fourteen Class A war criminals, and numerous Class B and C war criminals, have been enshrined as gods at Yasukuni Jinja is a source of anger to Chinese and Koreans. Chinese casualties in the Fifteen Year War (1931-45), are estimated to be ten to twenty million or more, while Korea experienced half a century of harsh Japanese colonial rule.

Chocolate is the intersection of food and science. When you understand that it needs more of a chemist's touch than that of an artist, chocolate can be a chameleon of taste and structure. To learn the tricks of handling this malleable, yet delicious dessert staple, Globe Life turned to Canadian chocolate master, Chris Kwok, who finished second overall in the Canadian Selection Competition for World Chocolate Masters this winter.
Get a thermometer
For anyone who has attempted to temper chocolate, this advice comes as no surprise. Kwok is very precise in listing off temperatures for tempering: melt at 40 C for white and milk chocolates, 45 C for dark; cool a portion of the melted chocolate down to 28 C with a marble board, working the liquid to the point of soft peaks as you spread it with your spatula, before adding it back to the rest of the pot and getting the temperature back up to 31 C.
This is the textbook technique, says Kwok. But while the temperature of the molten chocolate is important, it's not as important as the temperature of your kitchen. It should be a balmy 22 C, otherwise it risks messing up the crystallization process as the liquefied chocolate condenses into a slurry-like mixture on the cool marble.
Understanding the relationship between temperature and crystallization is the key to becoming a chocolate master, says Kwok.
Be creative with your flavouring
Kwok is a fan of traditional French pairings of flavouring. His all-time favourite is pear brandy with pistachio, the mild sweetness of the pear contrasting nicely with the salty, crunchiness of the pistachios.
That said, he is always experimenting and enjoys taking risks, like in his first Canadian Selection Competition for World Chocolate Masters. Then, he concocted a chocolate tomato filling, which may have been too "surprising" for the judges. At this year's competition, he went for something less surprising, but still risky: mandarin with hazelnut.
Part of the trick is to match the flavour with the type of chocolate you're using. Dark chocolates are like red wine grapes, and take on noticeably different flavours based on where the cacao bean was grown. Kwok enjoys the Saint Domingue variety, which is a bitter, spicy dark with fruity nuances.
Try, try again
At the base of Kwok's 2013 competition sculpture was an incredibly lifelike apple made of white chocolate. Kwok spent hours perfecting this one small part before the competition.
"I made at least a dozen other ones at home," he says, practising airbrushing them so they had the same sheen as the polished apple the evil witch offers up to Snow White.
The lesson for at-home pastry chefs is to be patient and not panic if your first attempt isn't perfect. When asked what the most important tool is for a chocolate master, his answer was immediate: "A calm mind," he says.Report Typo/Error
