M.Ed. Completion Dossier Application Product Options
1. Definition of this Option
The purpose of the Critical Literature Review is to apply and deepen knowledge from an area of study and demonstrate proficiency in reviewing, synthesizing, and critically analyzing the research literature in a topic area that relates directly to one of the conceptual framework of the M.Ed. Program: Innovation in times of educational change, innovation grounded in knowledge of students and learning, ethical practice, practice grounded in intellectual and professional communities, dedication to educating diverse students. The Critical Literature Review is an appropriate application product in the completion dossier of students whose career goals include developing and sustaining expertise in a content area, and serving as a resource to other professionals in this topic area, as an integral part of their professional practice.
A Critical Literature Review should average 20-30 pages in length, and review at least 20 key published sources. The topic of the review should be limited to a single cohesive subject within the fields of the conceptual framework of the M.Ed. program. Topics that are overly specific will not provide enough breadth of information to support an argument. Topics that are too broad will not provide enough depth to sustain a convincing argument.
Reviews should summarize and critique a body of literature, applying the frameworks and theories previously studied within courses (core and electives) taken in the M.Ed. program. A substantial portion of the review should be devoted to a critical analysis (not simply a summary) of the literature. This review should be used to build a coherent discussion or argument based on an individual's own assessment of the literature. Areas of consensus as well as discrepancies and disagreements should be discussed, and questions for future research posed. In preparation for writing the paper, students should study scholarly sources that present arguments based on the review, synthesis, and analysis of a body of literature.
The literature review should follow the guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA) for presentation of references in the text and the reference list.
2. Eligibility and Approval
UW Bothell students intending to pursue the Critical Literature Review option may register for the elective BEDUC 507, Reviewing the Literature (3 credits) after completing BEDUC 501, Inquiry in Education, and 20 or more credits of required coursework. After the satisfactory completion of BEDUC 507, students finish the review with BEDUC 599 Culminating Project. Prior to registering for BEDUC 599 students must discuss their literature review with their academic advisor and secure the approval of an Education Program faculty member to oversee the project. This person may be the student's current academic advisor, or the student may need to select a different faculty member to oversee the project. This faculty member, upon agreeing to oversee the project, would become the student's academic advisor for the duration of the student's program of study. Prior to registering for BEDUC 599 the student will need to select a second reader of the review, either the instructor of BEDUC 507 or another faculty member.
3. Course Registration Requirements
The Critical Literature Review process begins with registration for the elective, BEDUC 507, Reviewing the Literature. Although this course is open to any M.Ed. student who has completed BEDUC 501, students proposing to use the course to meet requirements for the Critical Literature Review option for the completion dossier must also have completed at least 20 credit hours of required coursework before registering for the course. Students must also have taken BEDUC 501, Inquiry in Education.
All students who develop a Critical Literature Review as their application product will enroll in BEDUC 507 Reviewing the Literature (3 credits). In this course, students will read examples of extensive literature reviews, learn how to locate, synthesize, and analyze professional literature on a topic, and learn how to write a review of that literature. They also will develop an annotated bibliography of scholarly sources that will be in their eventual literature review, plan for thematic development of the literature review, and write a first draft of the review. After the successful completion of BEDUC 507, students will enroll in BEDUC 599, Culminating Project (2 credits, CR/NC), to complete the literature review with the guidance of the academic advisor. Approval of the advisor is strongly recommended prior to enrolling in BEDUC 507 and is required before enrolling in BEDUC 599.
4. Timelines
BEDUC 507 Reviewing the Literature will be offered each academic year, while BEDUC 599 Culminating Project will be coordinated between advisor and advisee after the successful completion of BEDUC 507. The grade for BEDUC 599 (CR/NC) will be awarded upon the successful completion of the final draft of the Critical Literature Review. The paper will need to be submitted in final form to the student's advisor no later than the eighth week of the quarter in which the student is enrolled in BEDUC 599.
5. Assessment of the Critical Literature Review as an Application Product
To use the Critical Literature Review as the application product in the M.Ed. Completion Dossier, a complete and revised version of the review must be submitted to the student's advisor no later than the eighth week of the quarter in which the student is enrolled in BEDUC 599, Culminating Project. During the quarter before the student wishes to graduate, the student will submit a completion dossier plan with the Critical Literature Review listed as the application product.
Incorporates Faculty Decisions through 3/3/11
UW Bothell has awarded more than 18,000 degrees.

Kitchen Remodel
Granite prices have decreased but the richness of the stone is as beautiful as ever and should be considered in your kitchen remodel.
When you're contemplating a kitchen remodeling plan in Madison WI, you have a lot to ponder. With options like tough concrete and recycled glass, picking a counter material is one of the biggest decisions in a remodel. These days, it is normal for people to use granite for their kitchen counters. It really is standard to use granite in homes now.
Homeowners are choosing granite over other materials to complete their kitchen designs. Ganite's growing popularity has become more affordable for a reason.
In recent years, granite, which was once pricey and only for the wealthy, is no more afforadable than many other counter materials. With granite prices trending steadily downward, and other unique materials coming into the new home and kitchen remodeling markets, you find granite installed in moderately priced homes and for upgraded kitchen remodels more often than ever before.
Madison WI
Kitchen Remodeling – Upscale Your Home
Even though it is becoming more commonplace, the look and feel of granite is often still unequaled by any other material. A kitchen design that includes all new granite countertops can provide the visual impact that sets your home apart. The granite industry has been busy trying to keep up with the growing wants of the customers by coming up with new looks for granite.
Kitchen Remodeling – As Green As They Get
Granite is an eco friendly option. Because granite is quarried and not manufactured, there is no release of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and granite countertops can be reused with no negative environmental impact. Quartz is a great example of a material that is not eco friendly, being held together by potentially harmful substances. Plastic and glue is used to create corian and laminate, which cann hurt the environment.
Consider how using an Earth friendly material will impact your lifestyle. There are also other options should you decide to use not-so-green materials in the rest of your kitchen remodel.
Kitchen Remodeling – Recycle The Old
Kitchen Remodeling
Granite countertops in you kitchen remodel can be almost any color you can imagine.
If you've already got granite, but you need to change it out, you can even recycle what you've already got. Granite can be reused outside or inside. You could use your existing granite to make tables or benches for your backyard. Since granite s naturally occuring, you don't have to worry about any chemicals getting into the ground if you dispose of it. Better yet, you can take it to a local resale store in Madison WI where it may find a home in someone else's kitchen remodeling project.
If your Wisconsin home is in need of a kitchen remodel, and you are in the Deforest, Sun Prairie, Madison, or any other areas nearby, let Sims help you out.

After a two-year investigation of Chinese political contributions to the 1996 election, Federal authorities have unearthed new evidence that Beijing's efforts were part of a broader campaign to obtain access to American high technology, according to lawyers and investigators.
While still incomplete, the evidence provides a clearer understanding of China's motivations -- and one that differs substantially from the initial view of Federal investigators and a Senate committee that China intended to influence the outcome of particular races, including President Clinton's re-election.
Investigators now believe the money was intended to enhance the political standing of those passing along the contributions to Democratic causes, to give them clout in arguing for favorable policies on trade and technology.
''Technology was a primary motive,'' said a senior Justice Department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. It appears, the official said, that China intended to follow the example of American corporations, which use donations to raise the profile of their Washington lobbyists. Under American law, foreign governments are prohibited from contributing to campaigns.Continue reading the main story
Investigators and officials said their new view of China's motivations was based on inference and evidence that includes bank records, phone calls and witness statements.
One fund raiser connected to the inquiry, Johnny Chung, was sentenced today in Los Angeles to five years' probation. Mr. Chung, who pleaded guilty to fraud, received a reduced sentence by cooperating with officials in the inquiry, including telling them he had funneled contributions from a Chinese military officer to the Democrats. [Page A18.]
While they were sparing in details, the officials investigating the China connection said they have learned of additional links between the fund raisers who arranged the suspect donations and Chinese executives and officials involved in acquiring Western technology with military uses. They said the inquiry has documented more active and substantial contacts between fund raisers like Yah Lin Trie and Chinese officials than was previously known.
The campaign finance investigation began in 1996, when American intelligence agencies eavesdropped on conversations in which Chinese officials discussed a plan to play a role in the elections.
A Closer Look At 3 Fund Raisers
Eventually, investigators focused on the activities of three figures: John Huang, a former Commerce Department official who became a leading fund raiser for the Democratic Party; Mr. Trie, who is known as Charlie, a close friend of Mr. Clinton's from Arkansas, and Mr. Chung, a California entrepreneur.
The Democratic Party, President Clinton's legal defense fund and Democratic candidates returned several million dollars in contributions connected to the three. There is no indication that the campaigns or the White House knew that Chinese businesses or officials were behind any of the donations.
A Senate investigation of the contributions earlier this year raised questions about the role of the Chinese Government, but lacked the banking records and intelligence information that was subsequently made available to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Senator Fred Thompson, the Tennessee Republican who was chairman of last year's Senate inquiry into campaign finance abuses, was the first to raise the alarm about China's possible role in the 1996 elections. He initially asserted that the Chinese plan influenced the 1996 Presidential and Congressional elections, as well as state elections.
Senator Thompson said in a recent interview that he now also believes that the ''China plan'' was aimed at obtaining American technology.
''They were attempting not only to ingratiate themselves politically but in the process to develop contacts and further relationships with companies in the U.S. who had the same technology export interest,'' he said.
One of most intriguing new pieces of evidence involves Mr. Trie, who served on a Presidential commission on Asian trade policy. Mr. Trie is said to have met in Beijing with Chinese officials and asked for $1 million that could be used for political activities in the United States. Their response could not be learned.
According to the investigators, Mr. Trie told associates he had Chinese backing. He eventually raised or contributed more than $1 million to Democratic Party causes.
The campaign inquiry is now examining whether any of this money originated with Chinese companies or officials. Records show that Mr. Trie received almost $1 million from a Macao businessman with ties to the Chinese Government.
Mr. Trie's lawyer, Reid Weingarten, said he knew nothing of Mr. Trie's activities in China.
Investigators say they have learned more about another important figure in the case, Lieut. Col. Liu Chaoying, a Chinese military officer and aerospace executive. The California entrepreneur who raised money for the Democrats, Mr. Chung, has already told investigators that he took money from Ms. Liu knowing that it came from the Chinese military.
Now, investigators say, they have a deeper understanding of Ms. Liu's efforts to help Chinese companies obtain American technology with military uses. In recent weeks, Mr. Chung has told investigators that he tried to arrange meetings for her with American aerospace companies when she visited the United States in 1996.
Ms. Liu did not return a telephone call to her office in Hong Kong.
There is also new information about Mr. Huang, who worked as a banker in Los Angeles before joining the Clinton Administration. Officials said he was overheard on government surveillance equipment discussing political donations with a Chinese official at the Los Angeles consulate.
Details of his conversation could not be learned. Mr. Huang subsequently joined the Commerce Department as a mid-level trade official. Because of his previous work as a banker in Hong Kong, he was barred from participating in decisions about China.
Nonetheless, officials said, Mr. Huang obtained at least one secret Government report on exports of military-related technology to China, which he kept in his office safe.
Mr. Huang's lawyer, Ty Cobb, did not reply to questions about these matters. Mr. Huang has not been charged with wrongdoing, but $1.6 million of the $3.4 million he raised was returned by the Democratic Party because of unanswered questions about its origins.
A Possible Exploitation Of a Policy Shift
China's efforts in the 1996 elections came at a time when the Clinton Administration was relaxing controls over technology exports and military exchanges with China, a policy that dovetailed precisely with Beijing's interests. Still, no evidence has surfaced that Administration officials knew about the covert Chinese activities.
But some United States and Chinese aerospace companies may have tried to improperly exploit the policy shift, investigators say. The Justice Department is investigating three leading American aerospace companies, and some of their Chinese counterparts, for possibly illegal exports of sophisticated machining equipment and satellite technology.
These cases, involving technology that can be used for both commercial and military purposes, illustrate the interwoven lines between government and business in China. These same complex relationships between the government in Beijing and the nation's aerospace and arms-production companies have also complicated efforts by campaign finance investigators to untangle the motives of the Chinese.
Chinese leaders have repeatedly denied that they authorized a government plan to influence the American Presidential election. But Senator Thompson said the denials were hollow because they left open the possibility that Chinese business interests funneled money into the American political system.
Last July, at the end of his trip to China, President Clinton said the Chinese President, Jiang Zemin, had told him that no senior Chinese officials had sanctioned the channeling of money into American campaigns. But Mr. Clinton said that Mr. Jiang said he ''could not speak to whether any people pursuing their own business interest had done that.''
The Chinese military industrial complex effectively reports to the Communist government, through a state council that oversees extensive business operations focused on technology development. Those operations include the acquisition, legally and illegally, of American technology, through imports, front companies and sometimes theft, according to U.S. Government officials and documents.
Technology is central to the future of China's armed forces. Beijing's military strategy, once dependent on a massive land-based army, has shifted to a reliance on a smaller, more mobile military heavily oriented to sophisticated computer and other electronic weaponry.
A recent Pentagon report concludes that the Chinese Army has shown ''exceptional interest'' in acquiring and developing advanced technology, from information and electronic warfare to anti-satellite laser capabilities and telecommunications networks.
Tracing Chinese Money To a Fund Raiser
These Chinese policy goals are central to understanding the motivations of Ms. Liu, the first person who provided a link between Chinese money and Democratic donations. She works for a Hong Kong unit of China Aerospace, which is ''tasked to acquire U.S. technology by the Chinese Defense Ministry,'' according to a 1997 Commerce Department affidavit filed in support of a search warrant in Federal court in northern California.
In her previous jobs, at other China Aerospace subsidiaries, Ms. Liu helped market sensitive missile technology in countries like Pakistan, according to Government documents and officials. She also made secret trips into the United States in pursuit of American technology and was frequently monitored by American intelligence agents, according to the officials and documents.
Ms. Liu was not a focus of last year's Senate hearings that investigated campaign finance abuses. But the Senate inquiry hinted that major Democratic donors like Mr. Chung, Mr. Trie and Ted Sieong, a Southern California businessman, may have been working with the Chinese Government or acting as conduits for Chinese money. The donors all denied any wrongdoing and the Republican-controlled Senate committee was never able to trace the sources of their money beyond corporate bank accounts in Hong Kong.
However, the F.B.I. has now been able to go further. For example, it found that Ms. Liu made payments to Mr. Chung's Hong Kong bank account, according to officials and documents.
Mr. Chung told investigators that Ms. Liu told him about her ties to the Chinese military, where her father, Gen. Liu Huaqing, was the senior official on the central military commission until last year. Gen. Huaqing personally ordered an investigation into the January 1995 explosion of a Chinese rocket. Later in 1995, scientists from Hughes Space and Communications helped the Chinese determine the cause.
But as it assisted the Chinese in its investigation of the explosion's cause, Hughes provided -- without proper authorization -- technological insights crucial for launches of ballistic missiles and satellites to engineers working for a Chinese aerospace company, the Pentagon concluded in a report released last week. The aerospace company that benefitted was Ms. Liu's employer. The commercial technology transfer ''raised national security concerns,'' the Pentagon report on the matter found. A Hughes spokeswoman said the transfer was properly authorized by the Commerce Department.
Mr. Chung helped Ms. Liu enter the United States in 1996 by trying to arrange meetings for her with top American aerospace companies, according to a 1996 letter from Mr. Chung to Ms. Liu.
Senator Thompson said he believed there were striking similarities in the political actions of the Chinese and American corporations.
''It's not that they had any particular motivation at the moment,'' he said, ''but that they had lots of motivations to have access. And would technology access and export controls be part of that? Yes.''Continue reading the main story

This is a very basic question but I could not find the answer on TSP website.
When I rebalance on the first of the month will the shares I purchase be at the closing price from the last day of the prior month or the closing cost at the end of the day on the first of the month?

Re: Question about rebalancing in the TSP
I'm not sure how TSP does it but usually it's the closing cost of the fund at the end of the business day that you make the transaction. ie if you rebalance at 11:00am on Monday you get the closing price at Monday's close. If you do it on Monday at 6:00pm you will get the closing price at Tuesday's close.
Re: Question about rebalancing in the TSP
LIke NYBoglehead said, it is the price at the end of the day. I have a TSP account.

After a four-year publication hiatus, retired Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson has released a greatest hits page-a-day calendar with all profits to benefit Conservation International.
From the USA Today article "Larson is drawn to the wild side":
"I can't imagine how we'll be remembered by future generations if we allow this to happen," says Larson. It's a holocaust, he says, only instead of killing off people, we'll be "the flora and fauna Nazis."
The approximately $2 million will help CI's Asia programs, including a campaign in China to reduce the hunting of threatened species for pets, medicine and food.

There are so many great blogs these days to help and encourage new and experienced writers alike. It can be intimidating and sometimes a bit frightening to launch out on your own. Who can you trust and where might they take you? I have done some research and found a few really good ones. These are blogs about writing, not necessarily from a Christian perspective. Keeping that in mind, here's what I found:
Starting with our very own, Edie Melson. Hers is one of the very best. She has many words of wisdom, encouragement and advice, but that's not all. She also has posts that feed our souls. Landing on her blog is a blessing all around. (Edie is also on faculty at Writers ADVANCE! Boot Camp in February teaching the blog basics. Now is a great time to sign up for Writers ADVANCE! Boot Camp.)
I absolutely loved this one. They do a much better job of describing their blog than I ever could, so here's their mission statement: "Offering multiple perspectives on writing and the publishing industry from first draft to final product, and everything beyond."
This blog is great. It gives practical advice while being very encouraging. You also get a push to stay in the writing game through assignments. Worth checking out.
Helpful hints can be found on this blog. The latest post was an interview which had some interesting tips.
I recently added this one to my list and got some freebies. He has some very useful tips and is encouraging through his transparency.
Well, there you have it, my top five list. Check them out and tell us what you think. Share some of your favorites, too. And don't forget, these are not all Biblically based. So go forth with caution, but GO! Thanks for stopping by and have a very Merry Christmas!

Twitter has handed over data to French authorities to help identify the authors of anti-Semitic tweets following a complaint from a Jewish students' group, AFP reported on Friday.
Twitter said in a statement that it had given information to judicial authorities "enabling the identification of some authors" of anti-Semitic tweets..
A French court in January ordered the company to provide the data after the complaint from France's Union of Jewish Students (UEJF).
The ruling followed a legal complaint lodged in October by UEJF which argued that numerous tweets had breached French law prohibiting incitement to racial hatred.
The union took the legal action against Twitter to force the site to reveal details on people who posted a slew of anti-Semitic hate messages.
Following the ruling the court said Twitter must now do this "within the framework of its French site".
But after an apparent failure to do so the UEJF took further action and announced in March it was the sue the company's CEO Dick Costolo.
The association claimed €38.5 million ($50 million) in damages which they would hand over to the Shoah Memorial fund, according to the text of the summons for Twitter to appear before the civil court's criminal division.
Twitter said on Friday the move "puts an end to the dispute" with the UEJF and that the two parties had "agreed to continue to work actively together in order to fight racism and anti-Semitism"
Speaking to The Local on Friday Elie Petit, the vice president of the UEJF, said they were delighted to have finally reached an agreement with Twitter.
"We are proud to have achieved this in the battle against racism and anti-Semitism. At last Twitter have agreed to respect French law," he said.
The union had been pressing Twitter to exercise tighter control of what appeared on its Internet site following a deluge of anti-Semitic messages posted under the hashtag #unbonjuif (#agoodjew)
"Obviously it was frustrating that it took months. I think the legal pressure played a big role but also Twitter itself appeared to understand the responsibility they have to fight racism and anti-Semitism on the internet.
"In France acts of anti-Semitism have risen 58 percent. When someone writes 'a good Jew is a bad Jew' etc on Twitter millions of people see it," Petit said.
"Twitter might be good for democracy but it's also a way for racists to share their message. People are spending more and more time on line and its important they respect a country's laws online just as much as off it."
UEJF President Jonathan Hayoun said Twitter's move was "a great victory in the fight against racism and anti-Semitism" and "a big step in the fight against the feeling of impunity on the Internet".
"This agreement is reminder that you cannot do anything you want on the Internet. Twitter will no longer be a conduit for racists and anti-Semites where their anonymity will be protected," he said.
Last October, Twitter suspended the account of a neo-Nazi group in Germany following a request from the government in Berlin.
That was the first time that the US firm had applied a policy known as "country-withheld content", which allows it to block an account at the request of state authorities.

Reactions were pretty mixed at the first image that surfaced for 'The Lone Ranger' with Johnny Depp's 'Tonto', so he and Armie Hammer have met with Navajo leaders and here's the latest images.
Gore Verbinski's 'The Lone Ranger' movie seemed like it was beseiged with one problem after another, but then after the first image of Johnny Depp as Tonto with Armie Hammer surfaced, many thought Depp might have gone back on his word to "take some of the ugliness thrown on the Native Americans, not only in The Lone Ranger, but the way Indians were treated throughout the history of cinema, and turn it on its head."
The Navaho nation where they are filming seem quite satisfied with the script and Depp's intention with the character. Dr. Gayle Dine'Chacon, Surgeon General of the Navajo Nation is seen obviously rather pleased that Tonto will be treated well in the film version of the popular tv show.
[callout title=The Lone Ranger Movie Synopsis]"The Lone Ranger" is a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
Starring: Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson, and Helena Bonham Carter
Directed By: Gore Verbinski'

So, instead of accusing them of not buying the theme or trying to explain what it means to send me a message through my profile page's contact form, I just tell them what I said above… mm in a nicer way, lol.
Never heard of this, but now I know to keep a strict eye on this type of email.

PoliFact falls down
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
We're all for independently fact-checking candidates during the campaign. In fact, it seems to be all the rage. But who's going to fact-check the fact-checkers?
Unfortunately, PoliFact, a joint venture between the St. Petersburg Times and CQ magazine, falls down while trying to get to the bottom of Sarah Palin rape kit story. PoliFact fails because it fundamentally misstates the central issue of the controversy.
The rape kit story is a somewhat complicated one and by all means visit PoliFact for the background information provided. The simple explanation is that in 2000 the Alaska legislature passed a law forbidding towns from charging rape victims (or their insurance companies) for the cost of the traumatic, forensic examines needed to collect evidence for sexual assault crimes. One of the towns charging was Wasilla when Sarah Palin was mayor.
The story, for obvious reasons, has received some mainstream media attention and even more online.
Here's how PoliFact frames the question and where PoliFact gets in immediate trouble:
SUMMARY: Bloggers contend Palin supported a city policy that charged sexual assault victims for forensic exams. We find the truth is murky.
Wrong. Bloggers have not, for the most part, dwelt on whether Palin "supported" the city policy. They have dwelt on the fact that while mayor of Wasilla the policy existed. The notion freaked them out.
It's a subtle but telling difference. Becuase instead of focusing on the very simple question of whether it was accurate to say that Wasilla, under Palin, had a policy of charging rape victims for the sexual assault exams, PoliFact gets bogged down on whether Palin "supported" it.
But wouldn't the simple fact that Palin, as mayor of a very small town and who had authority over the budget process, okayed a budget where the rape kit policy was implemented prove Palin "supported" it? Or was she in the habit of signing off on city budgetary initiatives she disapproved of?
It seems like common sense to us. But because PoliFact can't find any quotes of Palin supporting the rape kit policy, PoliFact claims "the bloggers' charge" is "Half True."
The half that's not true? The half that the bloggers don't really care about; whether Palin technically "supported" the controversial policy.

The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism launched last week a mobile version of its State Parks website as a response to increased mobile traffic. Between April 2011 and April 2012, mobile traffic increased 176 percent, according to a press release from the department.
"We recognized growing consumer preference for browsing the Internet from smartphones, Droids and all things mobile, and we decided to give them what they want," said Duane Parrish, director of the department. "Our mobile platform presents park information in a more simplified way, much more suitable for the smaller screens found on these devices."
Content on the mobile site includes a "park finder," Google Maps directions, reservation functionality, detailed park contact information, associated park content and a searchable event database. Mobile users visiting SouthCarolinaParks.com will be routed to the mobile version of the website.

Always-On Service Availability In The Age Of The Customer
Posted by Clement Teo on January 5, 2014
- 14 Recommendations
- 0 comments
When I interviewed clients for a recent telecom sourcing best practices report, I heard a recurring refrain: "We need to drive down costs." Both CIOs and sourcing and vendor management (SVM) professionals measure the health of their department with the amount of annual cost savings they can achieve. While this is a laudable metric, over time it can skew SVM pros' perspectives and cause them to miss an opportunity to provide value to the business in the form of a vital "always-on" service.
SVM pros should:
- Accept that cost savings are limited and short-term. Telecommunications is highly regulated in Asia Pacific; local competition is limited and governments own significant stakes in incumbent telcos. While cost savings can be had, they will diminish over the lifespan of a contract. SVM pros must understand how to work with lines of business and suppliers to create more value for the organization.
- Focus instead on always-on service availability. Firms must focus on the fundamentals: ensuring that their communications services push toward always-on service availability. Getting the right price for services is important, but SVM pros in Asia Pacific must align business needs to service sourcing and ensure that the service delivers the expected value in terms of availability and quality.
- Engender trust with providers with long-term commitments. View service providers as long-term partners; this will take the uncertainty out of the relationship and engender trust. One company was happy to lock in a five-year rental with an equipment supplier, eliminating a source of business risk in a volatile Asian economy. Focusing on long-term contracts gives providers the impetus to serve you well.
What It Means
Communications sourcing is all about providing a "dial tone" for the business; nowhere is this more acute than for front-line employees who require always-on service availability in their moment of need. By making it onerous for employees, for example, to roam on their mobile phones, SVM pros put the company at risk of losing potential business deals at critical junctures.
Already, companies in North America and Europe are keen to learn how to optimize telecom and mobility expense management and compare TEM solutions. We see many clients investigating third-party managed services and business process outsourcing for TEM.
While Asia Pacific organizations have yet to show much interest in TEM solutions as part of their management centralization efforts, we believe that SVM professionals who do not provide value beyond cost containment are under threat of seeing their functions outsourced to TEM solution providers such as Dimension Data. For SVM pros, it could be time to re-evaluate how they can support their organizations in the age of the customer.

Feb. 13, 2013
There's no question Molly Hannis made her freshman debut at the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships a memorable one last year.
She bagged three gold medals -- the 100-yard breaststroke and a pair from the medley relays -- to help the Lady Vols finished second in the team scoring in their home waters at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center.
Hannis, a native of Santa Rosa, Calif., has lived up to expectations in her second season. As the team's only breaststroke specialist, she's touched the wall first in every 100 and 200 breaststroke competition this year. Not only that, but she has matched her collegiate best in the 100 breaststroke (59.60 seconds) and set a new best in the 200 (2:11.05).
With the 2013 SEC Championships less than a week away in College Station, Texas, Hannis talks about how training has gone this season and the improvements she has made with the new assistant coaching staff and combined men's and women's program.
Q: We're finished with the dual meet season now. How are preparations going for SECs?
A: "I think we're in a good spot right now. Training is going really well. The team is really engaged in practices. Even though we lost the Florida meet, we still all swam really good races. The way we did swim, it showed some things we need to work on going into it, to zone in on. But I think the way we've gone through the season has set us up for a good championship meet."
Q: You've gotten to swim the SECs one time and that was here. What will you use from that experience swimming on the road this time at Texas A&M?
A: "It'll definitely be different with A&M. They're right into the conference and then get to host it. It'll be interesting. I think it helps to have been to it last year for sure. There was just this energy, something just really different from anything I'd experienced. With two more teams, it's going to add a whole new dynamic to it. I don't know what to expect. It's going to be interesting."
Q: How has your training gone this year? With combining programs, you're getting to do some breaststroke practice with the men. How's that been going?
A: "It's been going really well. Combining the programs really helped me. It definitely has benefitted me a lot. For breaststroke, there weren't really any girls to train with. There are a certain couple guys I've been training with, and they've been really supportive, really great. They push me. My times in practice have been much better than they were last year. I think competing with them in practice has elevated my level of competition, and I just feel leaner and stronger right now. This year's training has gone a lot better, and I'm really excited to see what I can do the rest of the season."
Q: In your performances this season, you've won the breaststroke every time. Was that something you were anticipating for yourself?
A: "I don't know. I remember at the beginning of the year, I liked the pressure -- that being the only breaststroker would be fine. After the first few meets, I got a little stressed out, but as the year went on, Matt (Kredich) coached me through it and made me realize win or lose, just do your best kind of thing. They ended up all being wins, and that was great."
Q: At what point did the breaststroke kind of become your race?
A: "Probably when I was 13 or 14. I used to play soccer, but like any athlete, you kind of have to pick sports. I got a national time and I kind of picked swimming, and it was breaststroke that got me there. I sort of have a unique stroke, a different way that I swim, so I think that's also helped me getting to where I am. That turning point was when I was 14 or so."
Q: We've got some boxing gloves right next to us now. Training's been pretty different this year for the team. All-new assistant coaches as well. What have been some of the highlights for you in new types of training?
A: "Each of the coaches have all been awesome. Each has brought new teaching styles, coaching styles. We still do a lot of the same things, but I think one of the main coaches that brought something in was Bill Boomer. You've probably heard about it, but he brings a whole new way of coaching. He kind of speaks in another language sometimes the way he coaches. He's really helped me in developing my breaststroke. He's helped me develop my 200 breaststroke especially. Last year at SECs, I think I went a 2:12, and this year in season I've gone 2:11 twice. I think it's really a tribute to his coaching style and the things he's taught me. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what. I guess body line, but it's a lot more than just that. Bret (Lundgaard), I know, likes to videotape people. He's really brought that aspect, the technical side. He's brought in a new machine that gives us more statistics in swimming, the drag ratios and stuff. The coaches have been awesome, switching up and making training fun."

In the early 1980s, Mercedes-Benz decided it was time to downsize. The gas-powered 190E—and its diesel-powered 190D sibling—condensed all of the automaker's traditional qualities in a smaller package. When Mercedes-Benz changed the way it named cars in 1994, the compact 190-Class became the C-Class.
The current C-Class debuted in 2008 with well-proportioned styling that disguises its smaller size. The C300 sedan features a 248-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 with direction injection, a seven-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes-Benz's 4Matic all-wheel drive.

Nope, my SA 1911 doesn't need cleaning during even long range sessions. I usually clean my guns after each range session but on two occasions I did not with my 1911 and a couple of others. None of them jammed including the 1911.
This is a discussion on Question about 1911s within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I took my Kimber Tactical Ultra II to the range today with two boxes of CCI Blaser Brass, to get some range time, and to ...
I took my Kimber Tactical Ultra II to the range today with two boxes of CCI Blaser Brass, to get some range time, and to check on the work Kimber had done for me under Warranty. They replaced the slide, adjusted the spring, and polished the barrel chamber and feed ramp. all for a feeding issue.
It shot all 100 rounds just find, with only one jam/feed problem. However, I began to notice something after each mag loadup. As the gun fouled up from powder, It felt "gritty" if you will. the slide didnt rack as fast when I hit the slide release. (where not talking a huge slowdown here though) fresh rounds felt gritty going into the mags, etc.
Anyway, I am wondering. do you 1911 vetereans run a brush and/or boresnake through the gun after so many rounds, just to clean up the gun and keep it smooth while your at the range, or do you even notice this with your guns? perhaps im over oiling? I follow Kimbers instructions as best I can.

Did you do a good cleaning after recieving it back form having the work done. If they polished surffases there may still be some polishing compound left in gun. I would hope that they cleaned it good but I wouldn't count on it.
Do a good cleaning and lube job.
Whats the total round count through the Kimber?
Given that this is a new slide, that 500 round recommended break in....yeah, you probably have to do it all over again.
To answer the question: It depends on the gun and the rounds, and the overall round count. Currently my Colt likes a little oil thrown on after about 200. With my Springer and my Baer, I've never had to wipe or lube while at the range.
A 1911 should get you through at least 1,000 rounds without so much as thinking about cleaning it. There are some problems that a lot of shooters bring on themselves without realizing it.
Lubrication. The 1911 demands to be lubed well. If firing sprays oil on you and your range buddies, you've got enough. Well, not quite that bad. I'd recommend that for breaking in a new slide, though. Lube the frame/rails, barrel/bushing, barrel/slide locking lugs, a drop or three of oil on the internals before assembly, and a drop or two down the firing pin tunnel. Don't be stingy with lube, your pistol will choke.
Magazines. Most factory supplied mags are of questionable quality. Pick up some Metalform or Colt mags. Other mags are good, for example I've got a bunch of CMC mags. They don't run well in EVERY handgun I have, though. The Metalform and Colt do.
I'm wondering how they "adjusted" a spring. Stretch it like a slinky? Clip a coil off? Personally, I'd spend 7 or 8 bucks and buy a Wolff replacement. Much better than any OEM I've ever seen.
Sounds like you have a tight slide to frame fit.Clean it good and lube it. It should break in after use,depending on how tight it is. If it doesn't after a few hundred rounds,you could mark the rails and channels to check the fit, and hand polish any tight spots for clearance.

Jimmy at Kimber thought it had a couple of years use on it.
As far as what ive put through it, its about 400 total. 100 from me, and about 100 at Kimber. 150 on the new slide, including Kimber's post install testing.
I asked Jimmy about a break in period since it has a new slide, im thinking it will need one, he didnt seem to think so.
I may be slightly under oiling perhaps. I put oil where your saying, just not as much. Im used to Glocks, XD, and Taurus tupperware.
I have a Wilson mag for it, everyone seems to be out of them locally, or id buy more. it seems to do really well.
As far as the spring goes. Im not sure what he did with it. I dont recall if the spring was pinched on both ends. its not now. by pinched I mean the last coil on the end is bent downwards to make it flat. in order to seat on its perch properly. It may have been cut on one end. The timing all seems to be ok, as I said, its function just fine. I think the one jam I had may have been due to fouling. I would have like to have run another 200 rounds through it yesterday, but my wallet thickness begged to differ.
I may throw in a Wolf just for kicks, I had that suggestion from someone else at the range yesterday.
You might try using graphite on the slides.
I had a similar problem with my Walther PPKs. This Walther was made to such tight tolerance, that in stainless the slide started gumming up after only 50 rounds. One time, I happen to bring my cleaning box with me to the range, so I tried cleaning it, and lubed the slide with graphite, and that was the end of the problems.
A good cleaning and then a very conservative application of Tetra Gun Grease to the slide rails on the frame and slide. Don't leave any excess per say. Very lightly coat the rails and lightly buff off any excess after running your slide back and forth to work it in. The Tetra will work into the pores of the metal and will not sling off during firing. It's that very thin transparent film that makes your rails super slick. A little goes a long ways ! It is amazing on 1911's.
Here's some good advice: Find a Master pistolsmith who specializes in 1911's and give him the pistol to fix it. Sending it to Kimber or anybody else will result in your gun being turned over to an assembler, not necessarily a qualified 'smith. The difference can be pretty dramatic. my 1911's run flawlessly because I adopted this practice 20 years ago. A 1911 can either be a gun like no other to shoot or an absolute nightmare you never want to own again. As for lubrication, I use no more in mine than I use in any other semi-auto, even my Glocks. the trick is the kind of lube you use. For me, it is Castrol Syntech. YES THE MOTOR OIL! it is the best gun lube ever made, and cheap compared to some of the other stuff out there, even with todays oil prices. It is an oil slick enough for any application you may have, and stays where you put it, so there will be little or no splatter.
Try it
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
My rule of thumb---If it slides, grease it. If it rotates, oil it. Try it, you may lke it.
I have been known to use Castrol Syntec and have been very pleased with it.
Thanks everyone for the tips.
Kimber did a really good job IMO, as far as the work and customer service went. I spoke with the guy during each step of diagnosing and repair, so I felt OK about it all. Worst part is, I had t pay shipping.

Curcumin Now Touted as a Significant Weight Loss & Disease Prevention Nutrient
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Korean researchers reviewed the last ten years of curcumin science as it applies to supporting weight loss and preventing obesity-related disease. Their conclusion is, "The modulation of several cellular transduction pathways by curcumin has recently been extended to elucidate the molecular basis for obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases. These findings might enable novel phytochemical treatment strategies as well as curcumin translation to the clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of obesity-related chronic diseases. Furthermore, the relatively low cost, safety and proven efficacy of curcumin make it advisable to include curcumin as part of healthy diet."
Most recently, high-profile and mainstream cancer researchers at the MD Anderson Cancer Center have explained the extreme benefit of curcumin to prevent cancer and to help treat cancer. This benefit applies especially to types of cancer that are resistant to chemotherapy drugs. One of the authors of the cancer study, Bharat B. Aggarwal, has published a second study on curcumin and weight loss, "Targeting inflammation-induced obesity and metabolic diseases by curcumin and other nutraceuticals."
The theme of the MD Anderson article is reflected in the following: "Obesity and metabolic syndrome are considered to be major public health crises not only in the United States but also globally…Americans spent as much as $34 billion out of pocket on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in 2007…Extensive research within the past two decades has revealed that obesity, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer, and other chronic diseases, is a proinflammatory disease…Curcumin-induced alterations [in inflamed, overweight people] reverse insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and other symptoms linked to obesity….Curcumin and the other spices have favorable effects against obesity and insulin resistance as well as against various complications resulting from these diseases."
It is important for consumers to understand that the FDA is trying to help the failing pharmaceutical industry have marketing rights to high-quality curcumin that is currently available in dietary supplements. They want to take the exact same compound that is proven to be safe and effective and make it into a drug. I further explain this scheme in my article "The FDA's Scheme to Reclassify Nutrients as Drugs."
It is also worth noting that the MD Anderson Cancer Center does not publish "surface level" data. The information in their study on curcumin, which you can read in full by clicking on the above link, is detailed and accurate gene science showing curcumin's influence on the precise molecular and genetic pathways, combating obesity and related diseases.
Curcumin influences key hormones, supports major body organs, and regulates inflammatory signaling all in ways that help correct or prevent metabolic problems.
Curcumin helps lower inappropriately high levels of leptin (reducing leptin resistance) while boosting the all-important levels of the adiponectin (which lowers insulin resistance).
Curcumin helps activate the fat-burning gene signal PPAR gamma, which also helps to make more new, metabolically-fit fat cells.
Curcumin directly reduces major inflammatory events from occurring inside white adipose tissue (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1). When these inflammatory signals are excessively activated in white adipose tissue they keep sending "911" messages to immune cells around your body to come to the white adipose tissue and join in the inflammatory party (like immune cells causing the swelling of a sprained ankle—in this case, sprained fat). By lowering such inflammation, the source of overweight-induced disease is stopped.
Curcumin acts directly on liver cells to help prevent them from becoming fatty. And it works directly on pancreatic beta cells to help them produce insulin normally. By helping the liver and the pancreas, curcumin is taking stress off the two most important organs whose function declines before the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Curcumin helps to lower triglycerides and dangerous small particle LDL cholesterol.
Curcumin lowers the core inflammatory gene signal, NF-kappaB, resulting in a beneficial domino effect throughout the body. One benefit of this domino effect is a direct reduction in the risk of cancer from overweight-induced inflammation.
If any drug on the market did any one of the above in a safe way, it would be a multi-billion dollar blockbuster. This study shows at least seven powerful ways that curcumin can help weight loss and prevent disease—without dangerous side effects. It is little wonder why the pharmaceutical industry wants control of this nutrient.

I am looking to show a film at the exhibition made up of short videos that contributers to the library have made of themselves. The video will explain why you personally self publish and about the zines you produce. To submit please email me your short talking head videos no longer than five minutes. I will compile and edit these together and add captions for the finished film. All are welcome to contribute to this project and I would like an eclectic range of zine makers to participate covering all the genres etc. So wherever you are making your zines it would be great to hear from you.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Marist baseball team defeated Fairfield by a score of 4-2 on Sunday at McCann Field to complete a three-game series Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) sweep of the Stags.
The Red Foxes outhit the Stags, 8-6. Freshman second baseman Joey Aiola (Suffern, N.Y.) went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Sophomore left-hander Rich Vrana (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) went a career-high 6.1 innings to earn the win, which improved his record to 3-1. Sophomore right-hander Chris Napolitano (Wall, N.J.) pitched a scoreless ninth for his first career save.
Marist scored the game's first run in the bottom of the first. Senior shortstop Zach Shank (Lititz, Pa.) singled with one out, and scored on a two-out infield error. The Red Foxes then added a pair of runs in the fourth on an RBI single by Aiola, followed by a sacrifice fly from freshman designated hitter Matt Pagano (Cranston, R.I.).
In the top of the seventh, Marist held a 3-1 lead, but Fairfield had runners on second and third with one out. Junior right-hander Chris Thorsen (Lititz, Pa.) relieved Vrana, and recorded a groundout and strikeout to escape the jam with the two-run lead intact.
Fairfield added a run in the eighth to close its deficit to 3-2, but the Red Foxes added an insurance run in the bottom half of the inning. Junior third baseman Nick McQuail (Wantagh, N.Y.) led off with a single, and scored on a sacrifice fly by sophomore left fielder Steve Laurino (Carle Place, N.Y.).
In the ninth, Fairfield had runners on first and second with one out. But shortstop Sal Ciccone lined out to Aiola, who flipped to Shank to double off the runner and end the game.
Marist is now 18-12-1 overall and 9-3 in the MAAC. The Red Foxes are 6-0 in home conference games this year. Fairfield is now 10-20 overall and 3-9 in the MAAC.
The Red Foxes return to action on Tuesday, when they host Binghamton in a non-conference game. First pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Do you want to know how well you are in your career? Then here's some career test that you can relate so that you can note how well you execute.
Let us first describe the word "career". A personal career is the general course or progression of one's working life or one's professional accomplishments. To site a sample, you have selected a profession and you excel in it. On the other hand, career test also known as career personality quiz or career personality survey entails a lot of factors in life. This includes work environment, workplace performance, equality, relationships and safety. In addition, it also includes work-related stress, disability issues, salary, job satisfaction and skill building. All of these factors contribute a lot to the good groundwork of a well-built career. You should be eager to grab each possibility that comes your way and certify that you excel in it or at least you care for what you do.
In all of these, being successful is not just having a better career or a better position at work. It should be something that you will be confident about. A deep-rooted career where you apply and continue to enhance your professional accomplishments is the real outcome of a successful career.

text: My wife took my son into town today and spent the whole day with him. I knew something was up because there is no way he would spend the day with her shopping. I check our bank account online and notice they spent 940 at Gander mtn. They had a S&W460 for 1050 so I thought they got a differant model that was cheaper. I cornered my son when my wife was not around and he told me they did not get me the 460. I didn't believe him and went ahead and ordered 454 cas and 460 S&W dies from midway. This morning I went into the wifes handbag for cash and found the reciept for a HK USP 45 OD Green. She left the house and I told my son I knew what they got me. It's alway been a game with us that I always find out what they are giving me. It's wrapped and under the tree. It's going to be a long 19 days. My son said that when they showed up at gander and my wife said what does he want, the sales person pulled out the 460 and my wife said she wasn't going to spend that much money. My son asked if they had internet and to look up my wish list on this site. We might have some new members from Gander mtn. I go there every other day. I still don't believe I'm getting a HK. It will be my first sada and plan on carrying it. Anyone one who has one please let me know how it shoots.

(9/22/2006) Michael Bianchi, a maintainer for the State Department of Transportation, will be honored Monday, Sept. 25, 11 a.m. at the Lighthouse Point Park Carousel for thinking smart. He will proudly wear his DOT vest and hat.
Bianchi was poking up trash for the DOT along 1-91 North at Trumbull Street ( exit 3) when he came across an unusual site � a wooden leg - but not a human prosthesis. Mr. Bianchi had found the missing lower leg of Quicksilver � the largest and one of the most popular antique horses at New Haven�s Lighthouse Point Park Carousel. �I knew when I picked it up, it was not junk � it was heavy, beautifully carved and well painted - so I put it in the cab of the truck to see if I could solve the mystery of why it was on the side of the embankment.�
After a bit of thought, Mr. Bianchi remembered having a �blast� at his cousin�s wedding at the Carousel and wondered if this could possibly be a piece of one of those antique horses. Luck continued for Quicksilver. Not long after he found the leg piece, Bianchi was in line at Lowe�s Home Improvement Store on Foxon Boulevard. Standing in front of him was Park�s Department foreman John Sehl, wearing a Park�s Department t-shirt. Bianchi spoke right up about his �find� and Sehl confirmed with the Carousel event coordinator that yes, the leg had gone missing over a month ago.
Parks Director Robert Levine said parks department staffers �are truly ecstatic and so grateful to Mr. Bianchi over having this leg found and returned for reattachment to the cherished Quicksilver.�
Bianchi will turn the leg over to the parks department, and William R. Finkenstein ( an expert in carousel restoration � just back from saving carousel horses ravaged by Katrina in New Orleans) will begin the process of re-attaching the leg.
About the Carousel: The Carousel at Lighthouse Point Park was built in 1916 and is on the National Register of Historic Places (1983). Quicksilver is one of 75 horses and two chariots hand carved by Charles Looff of Rhode Island and Charles Carmel of Brooklyn. The City of New Haven purchased the Carousel and Lighthouse Park in 1925.
New Haven�s Friends of the Carousel led the community backed charge to restore, refurbish and recondition the Carousel building and its treasure of sculptures in the 1980�s and today, it serves the public during summer hours and is rented for private events 7 months a year.

Here comes Sharp and it is focusing on TVs... and what aspect of TVs?
LED! No really, this time. There's no sign of 3D anywhere on the Sharp booth and given its theoretical nature that's sweet relief. Instead we get a look at the new Aquos LED line. The range will comprise the 32in (LC-32LE600E), 40in (LC-40LE600E), 46in (LC-46LE600E) and 52in (LC-52LE00E) adn uses Sharp's 'Full LED backlight' technology which it claims will emphasise colour and produce deeper blacks (we wouldn't really expect anything else).
Vitally, Sharp also says the new line will be vastly more energy efficient. By comparison it says a CCFL based 46in LCD will consume up to 250 watts per hour, while FULL LED models will cut this to just 89 watts per hour. Sharp is also keen to push price saying its models will start from just 899 euros, still a considerable premium compared to your average 32 incher these days, but definitely an improvement over other LED HDTVs.
As for commonalities between the line, they all feature 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolutions, analogue and digital tuners, 4ms response times, crazily big 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratios and USB ports for photos. The 32in, 40in and 46in versions have three HDMI ports, while the flagship 52 incher has four.
Sharp also unveiled an ECO friendly Blu-ray player, the 'BD-HP22' which it boasts will consume a mere 0.6 watts when in standby mode. On top of this the player has BD Live and support for Dolby Plus, Dolby HD and dts-HD audio as well as a USB port for displaying photos.
Lastly - and sticking with its green theme - Sharp displayed a pair of prototype solar mobile phones. The '936SH' and 'SH002' are unlikely to see production, but were made in conjunction with Japanese telcos Softbank Mobile and KDDI Corporation as a proof of concept.
Sharp didn't break down the handset specifications (which would aid in determining just how efficient the solar cells are) but did say in a sunny environment they could potentially power the phones indefinitely. This is a real boon because while I suspect the units use considerably less power than your average smartphone solar cells could still soon be integrated into the rear of handsets to help extend battery life or slowly power the phone while it is switched off.
So all in all a company focused on saving you money - we didn't expect that...

It was a master illusionist's feat, these levitated silences that I never knew were, until they weren't. Even the trick's unraveling dazzled: the kinetic cascade of flash and clatter as knives spilled from the kitchen counter; shard sculptures from smashed plates and glasses, balanced in impossible configurations across the floor. And when during my few years of life had my mother swallowed the fire now roaring from her throat? I sometimes wonder how it came undone. Perhaps a momentary lapse of control. Or a sudden impatience with the staging, the tense fragility of it all. More amazing, though, was the act that followed…brand new objects, conjured from nothing! Behold, dishes with unfamiliar patterns reversing the scatter of destruction! Fresh silences rigged aloft, suspended with understandings imperceptible to the naked eye! But then there were the knives. These were slipped back into their allotted slots in the worn wooden block, ready for reuse. Yes, I think I remember it correctly: The things that cut, they remained the same.

What is and isn't "sleight" about writing compressed prose?
Both employ maneuvers of craft to accomplish certain realities. But whereas sleight distracts, manipulates, and evades to fabricate stand-ins for the truth, compressed prose doesn't mind having (sometimes, even begs to have) its artifices made plain in seeking exposure of its own, particular truths.

Peptides the Key to Anti – Aging Programs
Who doesn't want to look young? Who doesn't want a slim, muscle packed body? While exercising does play a key role in building and maintaining muscles and helping get glowing, young looking skin, what is important is also what goes inside your body. However balanced your diet may be there are certain times when you cannot do without supplementation. These days with the advent of synthesized peptides, there are several products available in the market which can help you in your quest to look young.
Human growth hormones have been used by athletes and body builders for a long time now. A good example for one is "IGF-1 LR3", which is one of the most important hormones. This hormone helps the growth and development of a child. Decreased levels of this hormone are known to be one of the reasons for aging. It is for this reason that boosting of IGF-1 LR3 levels is known to be helpful in boosting the anti -aging process in the body.
Peptides are commonly used in several anti-aging products. These small subunits of proteins are key ingredients in many bodybuildings, as well as skin care products these days. Another good example of a peptide that has become popular is "Melanotan 2". This peptide is known to trigger the release of human growth hormones and has become very popular among athletes and bodybuilders.
While some human growth hormones help in building muscles, there are certain others which help in muscle repair after injuries."IGF-1 EC" for example, helps in local tissue repair. TB-500 is one more popular peptide, whose name is doing the rounds these days.
One of the major benefits of human growth hormones and peptides is that they can dramatically increase muscle mass and strength in a short period of time. For example, you can see results within a week of taking CJC-1295. This apart, their intake also reduces recovery time from injury. Another key work done by such hormone is the transport of nutrients to muscle cells. It is because they transport all the necessary nutrients quickly to the muscles that recovery from injuries becomes faster.
One more major benefit of the use of peptides and human growth hormones is that their intake has shown to reduce joint pain. This happens because they help in controlling inflammation. It is one of the reasons why GHRP-2 supplementation is recommended as part of arthritis treatment.
Apart from the effects on the physical abilities, peptides and growth hormones have also been found to help in improving the functioning of the brain. Studies conducted have shown that they help in improving overall focus and therefore, productivity.
While their use may provide several benefits, it is always recommended that anti-aging products containing these ingredients should always be used in consultation with your doctor.

..I dont care.
Its to terrable, they, they, they got another one. NOOOOOO, thier I said it. They got another D..D...OoooG. Its no fair I tell you. They broke the sheld. My shield. It was a terrible night. The night of Jan. 15. It was a scary night. All cold, and damp. They left me alone for (while if I could tell time I sure I would tell you but) a long long time. Champ and I walked back in foward between rooms. We would look at the door then back at each other.
Then we heard them, The car made its normally sound, the brakes, the lights, it was all so normal. But what happen next was not. They put thier key in the door. We jumped up to greet them. But what we found instead, scared us. Champ knew, For it had happened to him, They day I arrived. I went in, it was no larger then my head. So small. Big ears, funky ears! His eyes are big and round. And he he is a puppy, a playful puppy. He runs around yapping his head off. Its no fair, the second I yap I get my butt kicked.
Why most they do this to me. I now have to share my toys, and my treats. And this little blob of fur loves to make me mad. I want to bite his head off so bad. When I grab a rope, he grabs it right out from under me. What is the problem is it so hard to just leave me alone.
I will never forgive, never! unless you give me that cashew, NO NEVER EVER EVER.
Thier is a dog dog on the block. I saw my mommy and friend loving on it. I wish I could just bite that head right off. I growed for hours trying to get thier attention me. Once of twice Ej would come and tell me to be quiet but I never listen to her. I hate it when seh give all her attention to other animals. Woof woof grrrrr
I lost one of my favorit toys today. Mommy say I must learn to take care of them instead of shewing them up. Can I help it if I love them???
And the best part of the day was when nmommy bought me cashews nuts. I love them. As soon as she reached for the bag i was thier trying to open the other can. I never got it open so daddy shared. Then Erica toke me for a run with nickalas my freind. I loved it. My favorit part of that was running down the hill.

UBS Financial Downgrades Furniture Brands
Furniture Brands International (FBN ) posted 18 cents, vs. 30 cents, second-quarter earnings per share. UBS Financial downgraded the stock to reduce from neutral.
Analyst Margaret Whelan says Furniture Brands reported flat sales, while margins are waning. She thinks the company's defensive strategy to enter retail and compete with customers will only dilute returns even further, as such is ineffective.
She would prefer to see a keen focus on merchandising and competitive manufacturing and service levels. Compounded by a revolving door of senior execs, she notes results continue to underperform better-managed peers.
Whelan cut $1.55 2005 EPS estimate to $1.35, and $1.65 for 2006 to $1.45. She believes it's unlikely that Furniture Brands will command its historic multiple, and therefore cut her $21 target price to $14.

cURL is a tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication, file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.
Reviewing 7.20.0 (Mar 26, 2010)
cURL is the premiere cli download utility, it can with proper use download pretty much anything...including youtube videos.
I like the simplicity of wget, but without a doubt cURL is more feature rich and overall powerful. It is also built into php (plugin), this is probably the biggest single use of cURL.
I like it, I like wget, I like aria2c. I use them all and applaud the developers of each one. I throw the name of other cli download applications for reference, otherwise how would you rate it if you had never used the competition :)
Five well earned stars.....It is that good, really.
Reviewing 7.19.2 (Jan 5, 2009)
You're forgetting that cURL is not only a commandline application, but also a powerful libcurl library that is perfect for making web content accessible for your application.
I've used both libsoup and libcurl and i find libcurl to be significantly less buggy.
Reviewing 7.16.2 (Apr 24, 2007)
