Hi. Thought I would try to make a scarf. I always make a slip not before anything else, and the book says not to count this stitch. Do I work it? I didn't work it at the start, so do I work the last little stitch at the end of rows(it's a bit smaller than the regular chains and always right on the edge of the row). This is making my work uneven on one side it seems.marking the end stitch helps, but I just need to know if you work the slip knot as you get to the end of the foundation chain or not. Does it become a stitch?
Editing because I misunderstood, thought you mean knitting not crochet. I think I work that st when I crochet, I make it loose so the hook will go into it.
Just to clarify, this is a crochet project, yes?
Can you provide the directions for the first couple of rows or link to a pattern? That will help us help you.
[COLOR="Navy"]Well, when starting a chain, you start with a slip knot and the loop of that knot becomes the first chain. It would be worked.
But you seem to be making this slip not before each row? Are you changing colors? Once you have a row you should not need to make any more slip knots...
Do you have a camera and can you post a picture of your work in progress? Or if you can provide a link to the pattern (if it is one the web) or type in a brief quote of the part where it tells you to make the slip knot?[/COLOR]
Usually the only time you need a slip knot for crochet (unless making a lacey type pattern) is the very first time you attach the yarn to your hook - as soon as you make your first chain out of it for the foundation row it turns into chain number 1. When you make your foundation chain have a look at it as it comes off the hook and it turns into that little v that you count.... this is then a regular chain that you work into on your way back (again, unless making a lacey type pattern). That is the only slip knot you would usually need in a pattern (unless changing colours - some crocheters use a slip knot then too).
Working into the foundation chain can be a little tight so you can always do the foundation chain on a hook a size larger making it slightly easier to work into on the way back.

Homefront Heroes, an original web series and online community aimed at documenting the recovery and bravery of America's wounded warriors, their families, and those who support them, will premiere online at HomefrontHeroes.com at 7 p.m. on December 21, 2010.
Filmed around the country, each "webisode" of Homefront Heroes will tell a story of resiliency and inspiration as the viewer learns what an American wounded service members and their families goes through when they come home to battle a different war after being injured.
"Homefront Heroes tells the amazing stories of our wounded warriors, their families, and the people who are helping them recover to chase their dreams," said Michael Allen, co-creator and producer of Homefront Heroes. "The goal of Homefront Heroes is to share as broadly as possible these extraordinary stories of hope as a wounded warrior takes his or her life back after being wounded in defense of our nation."
Created by Michael Allen and Brad Keller, Homefront Heroes is supported by the USO, Military.com, and American Airlines, the official airline of the USO. The first season of Homefront Heroes will include webisodes about the USO's Operation Enduring Care, UCLA's Operation Mend, and Hope for the Warriors – organizations dedicated to providing assistance to wounded warriors and their families.
"It is the USO's hope that all Americans join together to support our wounded warriors and their families to create a network of care that extends from the point of injury on the battlefield to communities here at home," said Sloan Gibson, president of the USO. "Homefront Heroes shows each of us how we can do more to help our troops and their families."
"American Airlines has a long-standing commitment to support our veterans, troops, and their families," said Art Torno, vice president, New York for American. "It is a privilege to present Homefront Heroes, which gives a voice to the wounded warrior community as well as those who help them rebuild their lives."
Homefront Heroes' first episode "I Don't Have One Regret," airs December 21, and highlights retired Army Sergeant Rick Yarosh, who was seriously burned in an IED explosion while serving in Iraq.
"The entire UCLA medical community is honored to be able to help these courageous young men and women. For a plastic surgeon to have this extraordinary opportunity to give back to those who have given so much, is truly a privilege," said Dr. Timothy A. Miller, surgical director of UCLA's Operation Mend Program, featured in webisode 2 of Homefront Heroes, entitled "Reconstructing Lives Though Reconstructive Surgery."
"This is a fantastic project that not only showcases the enormous sacrifices and heroism of our wounded warriors, but also that of their families," said T McCreary, president of Military.com. "Military.com is proud and honored to be able to work with Homefront Heroes, American Airlines, and the USO on such a worthy endeavor."

Chapter 31 (Casady)Mature
Even though Vinnia seemed rather put out at the small group that had amassed at her front door, she ushered everyone in. Casady wondered if anything ever caught her unawares. He doubted it.
"What can I do for you, seeing as you all want something from me?" Vinnia asked. Casady caught the tone of weariness in her voice.
"What's going on, Vinnia? We deserve to know. You know we deserve an explanation," Morgance exclaimed.
"Ask them."
Trace spoke to Vinnia in a reassuring tone. "They don't have to know everything, Vinnia. Your trainees don't have to know everything."
Morgance completely lost whatever temper she'd been keeping to herself. "How dare you suggest that we don't deserve to know what's going on?! Vinnia, we're your Singers, for pity's sake! I think you owe us an apology, or an explanation, or something!"
Worried that Morgance's outburst had lessened the chances of knowing what was going on, Casady shot Morgance as put-out a look as he could muster. Might as well let her know what he felt about her lack of control.
Rune caught the look and sent it back to Casady.
Vinnia, who had watched the entire episode without betraying what she thought of it, turned to Casady. "Casady," she said, "seeing as you haven't said a word about all this, what do you think?"
"What do you mean?"
Tilting her head thoughtfully, Vinnia held Casady's gaze. "Surely something's going through your mind right now."
"Yeah, like how hungry I am," Casady said, trying to laugh off the situation. He was uncomfortable with being the center of attention.
"So you don't have any opinion as to whether I confess what happened or not?" Vinnia asked. It was clear that she was probing for something far deeper than the teasing remark Casady had made.
"I, uh..." A long silence. "I do, but I can tell your assistant doesn't want you to say anything. I guess I'm not one for forcing a lady against her wishes."
Trace immediately took offense. "Excuse me?"
Casady was appalled by the misunderstanding. "No, you're not the lady, sir! I was referring to Vinnia!"
Morgance was unable to keep from bursting out in laughter. Rune joined her. Admittedly, the miscommunication was rather hilarious, but Casady didn't think that right then was exactly an appropriate time to laugh. "I'm sorry, sir. What I mean is that I don't want you to do be coerced into something you don't want to do."
A smile flickered across Vinnia's lips. So, the woman did have a sense of humor, after all - even if it was only the slightest hint of one.
Morgance and Rune had practically doubled over in laughter. Something struck Casady as odd about the situation. "Vinnia," he said, trying to keep his voice low so that his comrades couldn't hear, "is there something in the brainwashing that makes the students numb and easily amused? I've seen evidence of it all over."
Vinnia's eyebrows rose, and Casady knew his Singers' Trainer was pleased with such an observant question. "The answer is a bit tricky, Casady. I'm afraid now's not the time to discuss anything."
"Then when will we discuss things?" Casady demanded. He looked over to see Rune and Morgance still in hysterics. "Come on, guys. Cut it out. It wasn't that funny."
Immediately snapped from their laughter, Morgance and Rune stopped.
Yes, there was something odd about it all.
"We will discuss things when you are ready," Vinnia replied. "As for now, the three of you are dismissed."
Casady knew better than to argue with Vinnia Valdeza.

Database Applications: Banking: all transactions Airlines: reservations, schedules Universities: registration, grades Sales: customers, products, purchases Manufacturing: production, inventory, orders, supply chain Human resources: employee records, salaries, tax deductions Databases touch all aspects of our lives Database System Concepts 1.3 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan Purpose of Database System In the early days, database applications were built on top of file systems Drawbacks of using file systems to store data: Data redundancy and inconsistency Multiple file formats, duplication of information in different files Difficulty in accessing data Need to write a new program to carry out each new task Data isolation — multiple files and formats Integrity problems Integrity constraints (e.g. account balance > 0) become part of program code Hard to add new constraints or change existing ones Database System Concepts 1.4 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan Purpose of Database Systems (Cont.) Drawbacks of using file systems (cont.) Atomicity of updates Failures may leave database in an inconsistent state with partial updates carried out E.g. transfer of funds from one account to another should either complete or not happen at all Concurrent access by multiple users Concurrent accessed needed for performance Uncontrolled concurrent accesses can lead to inconsistencies – E.g. two people reading a balance and updating it at the same time Security problems Database systems offer solutions to all the above problems Database System Concepts 1.5 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan Levels of Abstraction Physical level describes how a record (e.g., customer) is stored. Logical level: describes data stored in database, and the relationships among the data. type customer = record name : string; street : string; city : integer; end; View level: application programs hide details of data types. Views can also hide information (e.g., salary) for security purposes. Database System Concepts 1.6 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan View of Data An architecture for a database system Database System Concepts 1.7 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan Instances and Schemas Similar to types and variables in programming languages Schema – the logical structure of the database e.g., the database consists of information about a set of customers and accounts and the relationship between them) Analogous to type information of a variable in a program Physical schema: database design at the physical level Logical schema: database design at the logical level Instance – the actual content of the database at a particular point in time Analogous to the value of a variable Physical Data Independence – the ability to modify the physical schema without changing the logical schema Applications depend on the logical schema In general, the interfaces between the various levels and components should be well defined so that changes in some parts do not seriously influence others. Database System Concepts 1.8 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan Data Models A collection of tools for describing data data relationships data semantics data constraints Entity-Relationship model Conceptual model to identify data & important relationships Relational model mathematical model based on set-theory Most commercial DBMSs are based on it Other models: Object-oriented model, Object-relational model semi-structured data models Older models: network model and hierarchical model Database System Concepts 1.9 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan Entity-Relationship Model Example of schema in the entity-relationship model Database System Concepts 1.10 ©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan Entity Relationship Model (Cont.) E-R model of real world Entities (objects) E.g. customers, accounts, bank branch Relationships between entities E.g. Account A-101 is held by customer Johnson Relationship set depositor associates customers with accounts Widely used for database design Produces specification of the data and relationship to maintain in the database.

No - but they are assigned to a single consumer. The effect is kinda like each consumer having its own queue and all IBM messages being put on the same consumer queue - but there really only is 1 queue. > In terms of load balancing. let's say IBM is generally busy stock and I want > to have multiple consumers taking care of this. With the use of message > group, can this be possible or I can only have one consumer per symbol(in > that case message group can be a bottleneck)? please advise. So if you want load balancing of messages for IBM, then don't use message groups. The entire reason to use message groups is you want to preserve message order of IBM messages - which means you must only have 1 single consumer active at any moment in time to process IBM messages (and so no load balancing for IBM messages). If you want to load balance across symbols (so that say each consumer just processes 1 symbol) then just keep booting up consumers - the more consumers there are the less symbols each consumer has to process. The message group key (JMSXGroupID) is your way of specifying how parallel to make the consumption of the messages - so to further increase the parallelisation, you could try figure out how you can further split up, say, IBM messages. e.g. use IBM_Exchange_Date to be able to parallelise IBM symbols traded on different days on different exchanges or whatever. But its your call on how much you care about ordering on how much you want to parallelize -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/

After an intense pair of second-legs in the semifinals of the UEFA Cup, Shakhtar Donetsk and Werder Bremen booked their places in the tournament's final with a pair of thrilling victories on Thursday.
Shakhtar Donetsk squeaked out a 2-1 victory over compatriots Dynamo Kiev, advancing 3-2 on aggregate. Rodrigues Jadson's 17th minute opener was negated by Ismael Bangoura's second-half strike, a goal that gave Dynamo a glimmer of hope. But those hopes were crushed when Junior Ilsinho struck two minutes from time to seal Shakhtar's place in the final.
Despite the series ending 3-3 on aggregate, Werder Bremen also advanced to the final by knocking in three away goals against fellow German club Hamburg. Diego, Claudio Pizarro and Frank Bauman's strikes were enough to overcome an Ivica Olic brace. The bad news for Werder however is that Diego will miss the final after picking up a yellow card in the 3-2 win.
Shakhtar Donetsk and Werder Bremen will square off on May 20 in Istanbul. The winner will become a first-time UEFA Cup champion.
You can see all off Thursday's goals, including Werder Bremen's third goal, which was aided by a plastic cup on the field, after the jump.
Werder Bremen Highlights:
Shakhtar Donetsk Highlights
What did you think of the UEFA Cup semifinals? Happy to see Shakhtar Donetsk advance? Is Werder Bremen in trouble without Diego? Who are you rooting for in the final?
Share your thoughts below.
im rooting for the Germans
Really a shame that Diego has to miss the final and Dani Alves will be out of the CL final for the same reason. UEFA needs to change its policy for both tournaments immediately. What a disgrace to not see either of these players with their respective teams in the finals.
Highlights have been taken down by YouTube due to a UEFA copyright claim.
Shakhtar will win! The UEFA cup will be left in Ukraine forever as it is the last tournament! This year Ukrainian teams were beaten only by Ukrainians, dynamo over metallist in 1/8 and Shakhtar beaten Dynamo in 1/2
P.S. Congratulations to all Germans wIth the Day of Victory 😉

Stefan Salvatore {The Vampire Diaries}
'What's it like being a vampire?' I questioned.
'Imagine it. You're this supernatural creature that can only venture out at night; you have this constant hunger that can only be truly satisfied by someone's death, your senses are super sharp, you can hear conversations from miles away. You have this incredible strength that you cannot control, the slightest pressure could easily snap a bone and you live forever, watching everyone you love die over time. It's not the best.'

'I don't know, it's got to be pretty cool being able to easily defend yourself. You have this amazing power; you could do anything you wanted… Besides, you can go out into the sunlight so it can't be all bad for you. And you drink animal blood, so it's not like you're killing anyone.'
'I'm not, but that doesn't stop me from hating myself, from feeling guilty whenever I imagine finally giving in and accepting what I am, from imagining myself tearing open someone's throat and draining the life from them... '
'That's your problem. You spend all this time hating yourself for what you are when it's not even your fault. You need to survive; it's just how the world works. In a way you could say it's the circle of life,' I half joked.
'You're so naïve,' he whispered.
'I'm not naïve. The way I see it is a vampire isn't a merciless, callous killer. It's just another creature with an instinct to survive. Everyone on this planet is born with that instinct which only intensifies over time, vampires are no exception. You're just surviving.'
'I wish it was as black and white as that.'
'Well…you do have this nifty little ring that allows you to walk in the sun. That has to be an upside,' I pointed out.

The National Council of Architecture Registration Boards (NCARB) has tallied up the number of architects practicing in the United States, as well as each individual state. According to their 2016 survey, there are 109,748 architects in the U.S. It's a drop from the previous year, although pretty minimal (0.4%).

The survey also shows that more and more architects are licensed in multiple states (a 3% increase since 2015). Another finding is that the rate of new architects appears steady, with more than 41,400 candidates taking the Architectural Registration Examination and/or reporting Architectural Experience Program hours.

"Our data confirms that the economy is generating strong demand for initial and reciprocal licensees," states NCARB CEO Michael J. Armstrong. "We're also seeing continued growth in the number of architects who hold an NCARB Certi cate, which facilitates reciprocal licensure across the United States and in several countries."

So how many architects are there in each ...

Combining all the tension of a passive-aggressive relationship with the clarity of survey-derived data, a new study released by the AIA and NCARB reveals that while both employees and supervisors think attaining licensure is important, employees don't think supervisors think it's important.

Dubbed the "perception gap," this disparity is quite sharp: as the NCARB blog notes,

While the results revealed that almost all supervisors surveyed (98 percent) believe it is important for emerging professionals to obtain licensure, just 66 percent of emerging professionals reported believing that their supervisor thinks it is important for them to become licensed. In fact, just 27 percent of emerging professionals indicate they believe it is "very important" to their supervisors for them to obtain licensure, while 88 percent of supervisors indicated that it was "very important" to them for the emerging professionals they supervise to get licensed.

If you didn't get a degree from a NAAB-accredited program, but have spent years accumulating Architectural Experience Program-worthy hours, you may now receive an official NCARB certification. How? Well, the details are spelled out in the press release below, but think of it as a potential reward for years spent working in the field while trying to pay for your education so you could work in the field.

The recently introduced IPAL, or Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure, promises to streamline the architectural licensure process for students at 17 universities and colleges by incorporating the Architectural Experience Program into the curriculum. Licensure, which is required by a majority of the fifty states and governing agencies in Canada, usually takes a few years of intense study and rigorous examinations after one's initial formal education is complete to attain. Initiated by NCARB, the in-school program will enable students to also take the ARE. Here's a full transcript of the press release:

Friends,The road to licensure for architects is getting shorter and shorter, thanks to a recent initiative spearheaded by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).

Being able to call yourself an architect is just one perk of becoming licensed. After hours of studying, practicing, and testing, licensed architects can confidently take on unique design projects with knowledge and experience to back up their choices. This is why their clients trust them with important decisions, and why we are thankful every day for their expertise. Here are a few reasons we are thankful for licensed architects.

1. They make choices you can trust.

High-level knowledge of design practices and how to best avoid errors only comes with practice and studying, two things with which every licensed architect is intimately familiar. After participating in Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and passing the Architect Registration Examination (ARE), involving hours of studying, testing, and practicing in the field, licensed architects are equipped for success. Architects utilize their arsenal of knowledge to inform the decisions they make...

The ARE 5.0 is finally here, and it's eight hours and one division shorter than its predecessor. Additionally, new testing methods, including the soothing sounding drag-and-place, have been added to the exam. As a press release pithily explains:

"ARE 5.0 features the latest graphic testing methods, replacing vignettes with two new question types: hot spots and drag-and-place. ARE 5.0 also includes case studies, which provide candidates with multiple pieces of information and require them to assess and solve the types of problems architects face on a daily basis."

As the release date for ARE 5.0 draws near, knowing what to expect on the new test is becoming more pertinent for ARE candidates. Exciting breakthroughs in graphic testing methods and a desire to move away from the outdated CAD software system were just a couple of considerations fueling the latest ARE update. NCARB's aim of making ARE content better reflect the day-to-day activities of professional architects also played a large role.

NCARB's goal with any update is to use the most effective methodology to properly test a candidate's ability to protect public safety and welfare - not to mention making the test as logical and cost-effective as possible. With the update, candidates will only have to take six divisions in contrast to the seven divisions of ARE 4.0.

According to the recently released 2016 edition of "NCARB by the Numbers", looking at "key insights into architectural education, the path to licensure, and diversity in the profession", the time it takes to get an architecture license has continued to gradually decrease, as the average age of licensure also keeps steadily dropping.

The report states that in 2015, on average it took 13.3 years to become an architect, a timeline defined by: "from the time a student enrolls in school to the moment they receive a license." That timeframe has gradually been decreasing each year since 2008, when it took approximately 15.5 years. So naturally, it follows that architects are also getting licensed at a younger age, on average.

Other key points from the report include the all-time (recorded) high of over 41,500 "professionals working toward licensure" in 2015. The percentage of ARE completions by women also reached its highest since 2006, increasing by over 10% to 37%.

If you are on the path to becoming a licensed architect, you may already be aware that the Architecture Registration Exam (ARE) is being updated starting November 1st, 2016. You may not know that there could be significant benefits in store for you if you adopt a strategic approach to the update from ARE 4.0 to ARE 5.0. You could be among a group of candidates who can take advantage of a special loophole that may save you considerable time and money.

This "loophole strategy" (or Combo Strategy) involves taking a combination of division exams from both exam versions by beginning your testing with three specific divisions from ARE 4.0 and then completing your requirements with two divisions from ARE 5.0. The key to saving time and money is that you will complete just five divisions total, instead of the required seven for ARE 4.0 and six for ARE 5.0. Completing fewer divisions will subsequently save you time and money. But you'll need to act before ...

The architectural design profession continues to grow, with more women pursuing licensure than ever before, according to data released today by the NCARB...The number of practitioners working toward licensure reached an all-time high in 2015 with more than 41,500 individuals either taking the Architect Registration Exam, reporting Architecture Experience Program (AXP, formerly IDP) hours, or both. That's up from 37,178 in 2014—a record high at that time.

But, as a recent poll conducted by the AIA shows, gender discrimination and harassment remains high. More than two-thirds of women polled in a survey in March reported a lack of gender equity in architecture.

This post is brought to you by PPI.

As an aspiring architect, you are required to pass the ARE for initial licensure in all U.S. jurisdictions.

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) have just released new information regarding their upcoming release of ARE version 5.0.

There will be six divisions, compared to seven in ARE 4.0. As a result, an aspiring architect can expect to spend up to eight hours fewer completing ARE 5.0 divisions.

Though the exam will continue to use multiple-choice, check-all-that-apply, and quantitative fill-in-the-blank question formats, it will replace ARE 4.0 vignettes with new problem types, including:

Case Studies

Hot Spots

Drag-and-Place

Each division will include at least 80 questions, along with one to two case studies.

ARE 5.0 Timing and Planning Tools

NCARB will begin the final stages of ARE 5.0 exam development this spring, which will determine the official launch date of ARE 5.0 in late 2016.

After announcing last summer that it would "sunset" the term "intern" from its nomenclature, NCARB has now begun enacting that transition with the Intern Development Program, which will be renamed the Architectural Experience Program (AXP). The change will become effective on June 29 of this year.

NCARB is quick to remind architects (current and aspiring) that, as states still set their own terms for licensure, this update to the not-yet-an-architect label will not affect who may call themselves an "architect" – a term still reserved for those who are licensed. To minimize confusion, existing regulations that refer to the new AXP title will be accompanied by: "formerly known as the Intern Development Program, or IDP" – just like Prince.

As for how to refer to actual people, NCARB is sticking with "aspiring architects" or "exam candidates" for those who aren't yet licensed, and "architects" for those who are, while also deferring to the authority of individual licensing boards to decid...

In 2016, NCARB announced a change to the ARE exam format. The goal is to align the ARE with current practice management, project management, and project design activities in the architecture profession.

The new exam will be launched late 2016, but you have will until June 2018 to pass the ARE 4.0 divisions. Now is a great time to plan and start studying so that you can pass all seven divisions before the exam changes.

NCARB announced last year that it would work with architecture schools to create a path to licensure upon graduation, and since then, it's approved 14 programs – the latest being at the University of Kansas. These programs are already NAAB-accredited and don't guarantee licensure upon graduation, but instead make it easier for enrolled students to complete IDP and ARE requirements while still in school, by adapting content to fulfill licensure requirements. This is part of NCARB's so-called Integrated Path Initiative.

As of now, NCARB's Licensure Task Force has accepted the following schools' plans to offer licensure upon graduation:

Boston Architectural College; Boston, Massachusetts

Anticipating this need, the NCARB has released a "Transition Calculator" that allows you to plan your test path. Of note: although the ARE 4.0 won't be officially retired until June 30, 2018, once you jump to version 5.0, you can't switch back.

Schools were invited to submit their initial proposals in May of 2014, when NCARB announced it would work with NAAB-accredited schools to let students complete IDP and ARE requirements while they were still in school. Now, NCARB will work with each school that submitted a proposal to get closer to a viable "licensure upon graduation" plan.

The schools will only be announced once their program is fully accepted by NCARB. Every year, starting again in early 2016, NCARB will invite additional schools to submit proposals to the "Integrated Path Evaluation Committee". You can read NCARB's full press release here.

Every year, NCARB releases a report looking at architects' path to licensure. Paying particular attention to trends in how diverse the architecture population is becoming, how regulation of architects is changing, and any developments in licensing credentials, the report offers a benchmark for understanding where the profession may be moving. The 2015 edition of NCARB by the Numbers, reflecting on stats accrued in the previous year, is now available to download for free.

Some highlights from the report:

There are more architects: The number of licensed architects, reported by the 54 U.S. licensing boards, increased by 2% from 2013-2014

Nicholas Korody interviewed Andrés Jacque (of the Office for Political Innovation) about COSMO, the winning entry of this year's MoMA PS1 Young Architect's Program competition. Therein he argued "I believe that the architect's role nowadays can also be providing alternatives, and enriching through diversity the collective catalogue of desirable possibilities."

Thayer-D commented "I don't think this qualifies as architecture, but it's very interesting" to which Kozumelle responded "I have seen this in person and it is not architecture in the strictest sense but still a wonderful, fantastic idea. Jaque's ideas are always politically charged and veer into other territories and he does it well."

Plus, for Screen/Print #34 Amelia Taylor-Hochberg featured the latest edition of KTISMA, from the University of Oregon's School of Architecture and Allied Arts.

The path for foreign architects seeking licensure in the US just got a lot more familiar. NCARB has decided to discontinue the Broadly Experienced Foreign Architect (BEFA) Program, its previous credentials for architects already licensed in another country to gain US licensure, and stripped it down to two major requirements: completion of IDP and ARE.

This essentially treats foreign architects more like architects in the US, removing the previous BEFA requirement that foreign architects have practiced (with a license) for at least seven years before being eligible to get a US license. BEFA requirements will persist until July 1, 2016, at which point the new requirements go into effect.

Read NCARB's press release announcing the change here. A run-down of the soon-to-be-defunct BEFA requirements are outlined below, paraphrased from NCARB:

This post is brought to you by PPI.

If you would like to become a licensed architect one day, you will need to fulfill your state's experience requirements for Architect Registration Exam® (ARE) qualification. Each state requires work experience under the direct supervision of a registered architect for a specific period of time prior to registration for the exam.

Most states have adopted the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) Intern Development Program (IDP) as the experience requirement for exam registration. IDP guides interns and is the standard means of completing the requirement in almost all U.S. jurisdictions.

On July 1, 2015, NCARB will streamline the IDP by no longer requiring elective hours.

Nicholas Korody profiled the work, of Greek-born architect Andreas Angelidakis.

Therein Angelidakis explains "I guess the only thing I really 'design' is narratives for objects I find and put together, and this process does not need to be defined as completed by a realized object. You can keep designing even after the object is there, because it's a mental process". davvid for one was "so glad to see Andreas's work on Archinect!"

Plus, Julia Ingalls provided six answers to the question There are tons of architecture job openings these days. Why aren't you hired yet? flatroof quipped "The 'there are so many jobs!!!' articles are back. Must mean another recession is just around the corner". Scott Smith agreed "I'm afraid you're so right. I feel the same way".

The great intern-titling debate has been resolved – "intern" is getting the boot.

This Thursday at the AIA National Convention in Atlanta, NCARB President Dale McKinney announced that NCARB's Board of Directors had unanimously agreed to "discontinue the use of the word intern, intern-architect, or any other regulatory "title" describing those pursuing licensure." The "sunsetting" of the term "intern" was proposed by the Future Title Task Force, a committee of interns and licensed architects, who devoted a year of research and discussion to evaluating the IDP program and specifically, the naming debate around the word "intern" and the different progressive phases around licensure. Under this proposal, there exists no specific title for those seeking licensure. The Task Force's proposal also included continuations of two policies: that "architect" can only apply to licensed architects, and that "architect emeritus" would continue to be used for identifying those who are licensed but no...

A record-high number of candidates actively working toward an architect license provides more evidence of a thriving talent pool for the architect profession, according to new 2014 data released today by [NCARB]. More than 37,000 aspiring architects were testing and/or reporting experience hours last year, a substantial part of the path to architectural licensure required by the 54 U.S. state and jurisdiction licensing boards.

NCARB CEO Michael Armstrong gave a first glimpse of key findings in the "NCARB by the Numbers" report today at the AIA Convention in Atlanta. Read the full press release here.

Nick Cecchi penned a review of 'Lina Bo Bardi: Together' on view at the Graham Foundation through July 25th. He found the

"narrow focus wisely limits Together to investigating the conditions and experiences that helped shape Bo Bardi's mature approach to architecture...Bo Bardi's work and life resist reduction and compartmentalization into terms easily digested. To experience and understand Together is to experience the sum of conflicting experiences, opinions, and buildings Bo Bardi brought into this world".

I received a called from a man William Smith with the American Law Office. He was saying I owed for a loan from Quick Cash for 500.00 and it had increased to 875.00 with interest and if I didn't send that money asap, they would send the Sheriff to my house.
He told me to go to Walgreen or Walmart to get Green Dot money Pack and they will give me a Voucher with a 14 digit number, I guess so it wouldn't be traced. Well, of course I didn't do that I went along as I would.

Something a little bit different for a book review on the Tale this week. I came across three works by an author that have Succubi or Incubi in them and some of my thoughts about each of the stories mostly apply to them all… So, I decided to write about all of them in one Tale post…
And so… Firstly…
- Title: Not Quite Casper
- Author: Mercy Loomis
- Publishing Date: October 18, 2011 (2010 Originally)
- Length: 9 Pages
- This eBook at Smashwords.com
- The author Mercy Loomis' website
The story is described as being:
When Katie agrees to spend a month in a haunted house as part of a reality TV show, she doesn't realize that she'll be under the watchful eye of more than just the cameras. This ghost is just a little too friendly.
Katie thought it would be a good idea to get involved with a TV show in a haunted house. The problem is that she is a witch and she is sensitive to the ghost that are really there. They poke and prod her protections, and she has kept them out, but one of the ghosts just won't leave her alone…
There isn't really a long introduction to Katie, or the situation she is in, nor does the story really dwell on how she got there. No, it starts with Katie having her ghost trying to get her attention almost teasingly at first, but he, and we are told that it is a he, gets a lot more amorous and insistent as the story goes on.
While it is never really clearly said that the ghost is an Incubus, what the ghost does to Katie makes it very likely that it is one. Katie admits to thinking this at the end of the story, but, we learn very little about the ghost save that it likes her, and likes doing all sorts of things to make Katie orgasm.
The story is hot, Katie's reactions are as well, but what bothered me about the story was that is was more of a hot flash and not much else. There is a story to be told about Katie and the, I'll say it, Incubus that attaches itself to her, but we don't get to see that.
That's more bothersome as the story is written as if the events had happened long ago and you are left wondering what's happened in the time after this story to Katie…
Something we'll never know.
I'll give this work four out of five pitchforks.
Needs to be longer and more story about the characters I think at least…
- Title: Empusa
- Author: Mercy Loomis
- Publishing Date: October 20, 2011
- Length: 11 Pages
- This work at Smashwords.com
- This work at Amazon.com
- The author Mercy Loomis' website
The story is described as:
Empusa is a Greek daimon whose lovers usually don't live to tell the tale. She makes an exception for a trio of humans caught in a tangle of love spells, but there is always a price to be paid…
This is a period piece, set in ancient Greece that tells the story of a demigoddess called Empusa and what happens when she meets some human beings that intrigue her.
For those that are not aware, Empusa was the daughter of the goddess Hecate and the spirit Mormo. She feasted on blood by seducing young men as they slept, before drinking their blood and eating their flesh. According to some tellings, she was mistaken many times for a vampire, a while was another meaning for empusa.
Empusa travels the Greek world and, occasionally, feeds from those that she comes to find. They normally are killed in her need to feed, but when she comes across man calling for a demon's help, she intervenes and discovers that some humans have problems… complicated ones… and she decides that she will, in her own way, fix those problems.
The story is an interesting mix of hate, anger, revenge and sexuality that I haven't seen much of when it comes to similar stories. Each character has a past, a purpose, and a need to fulfil in their own way, but it takes Empusa to collect all of that into something useful to her, if not to the ones that are trapped in their own smouldering needs.
There is male/male and male/female and mange a trios sexual situations in this work that might not be quite to everyone's taste, but in the perspective of the era it is set in, it makes perfect sense and the author makes good use of what we know of that time in order to make her characters more real.
One thing that bothered me a little bit was the occasional use of contemporary sayings. The characters speak in tones of older times, but then you see modern passages spoken when, in 482 BC, it just doesn't fit and that takes me out of the story.
The sex scenes are interesting, but it's less about the sex than the controlling dominance of Empusa that I thought was more so. She plays the other characters like puppets to her amusement and in the end, makes of them what she wishes to.
Not really a story about a Succubus, though some of her powers are very much like one, not quite as good as the first work here, but a promising character in Empusa at least. But the story seems incomplete in that the character's lives don't come to any real resolution and many questions remain at the end of the work.
Three out of four pitchforks.
Just not that satisfying a story for me personally in that we have good characters thrust into sex and otherwise not a lot else happens with them.
- Title: The Powers That Dreams Have
- Author: Mercy Loomis
- Publishing Date: October 21, 2011
- Length: 10 Pages
- This work at Smashwords.com
- This work at Amazon.com
- The author Mercy Loomis' website
The story is:
Sophia of Athens is contentedly obsessed with her dreams of the daimon Empusa, though she knows Empusa is killing her slowly. But as the army of Xerxes advances on Athens, Sophia is in greater danger than she realizes.
This work continues the story of the characters from the previous work, Empusa, by this author. In this story, Empusa comes to take her pound of flesh from the woman Sophia that had started the events of the previous story, and had made a bargain with Empusa.
Or at least you would think so from the beginning of the story. Three years have passed from the previous work, things have changed for all of the characters, the main one being that they are at war with Xeres, and Sophia is slowly being drained of her life by Empusa feeding on her as she dreams.
Sophia is betrayed, taken to the armies of Xeres, and from there, her fate comes to pass. The truths of Empusa are revealed, what she has done to all of the humans that she had dealt with previously, and where they all are now.
I found it a satisfying story that tied up a lot of loose ends and questions from the previous story. The Sophia and Empusa become more rounded out characters and the writing seems to be tighter and more alive than in the first story. As this story focuses on Sophia and Empusa almost exclusively, there is some minor sexual interaction between the two of them. It's less about the heat in this work than the completion of a story.
That's quite nice to see as many short stories leave plots and characters dangling with fates unresolved. However, while we learn of fates, the door is left open to a future tale from this universe and questions remain about Empusa in what she wants and why, really why, she has been somewhat enamoured herself with the three humans that are now, really, in her thrall…
Feeding alone can't possibly be enough can it?
Three out of five pitchforks.
Bit short, could have told more about Empusa and her world than we see, but well written and interesting, which are all good points.
Overall, I like the author's writing and style. There is little to take you out of the story, save for the occasional modern sayings that crop in places they shouldn't be. It's not a series about Succubi exclusively, but still a good series of short reads with a mug of hot chocolate…

North Korean radio consists largely of revolutionary anthems about being a diligent farmer. So what happened when our writer introduced Gallows, Lethal Bizzle and Coldplay to a local?

Admiral Legal Systems has won a contract to supply Legalmind, its latest practice management system, to Cheltenham firm Wiggin and Co.
Wiggin and Co, which also has offices in London and Los Angeles, specialises in commercial, tax and media law and litigation.
Graham Watts, director of finance at the firm, said he was looking for software that could not only cope with billing and disbursements, but would also allow users to analyse profitability.
"Ease of use and the ability to fully integrate with our existing Windows software was also extremely important," he said.
Watts said he liked the fact that Legalmind was written entirely in Windows and that Admiral was a Microsoft Solution Provider Partner.
He explained: "Other so-called Windows legal products were a mix of graphical interface and character-based software, with a Windows front-end only. Legalmind was the only established, full Windows NT 32-bit product that met our requirements."
Karen Green, SQL server product manager at Microsoft, said: "Leading edge legal firms are increasingly changing the way they work, by dispersing power throughout their organisation and tightening up processes. Microsoft and Admiral are working together to deliver technology that matches these new business structures."
Admiral and its sister company, Admiral Training Centres, are running free sem- inars on Legalmind and mobile computing.
They are being held on 26 September in Sevenoaks, Kent, and 24 October in Bloomsbury, London. Call 01276 682268 for details.
