No Time.... or didn't make Time?
Yes, I have been neglecting my blog for weeks. Not that I didn't want to write, but there were just too much things happening and my mind was too busy to sit down and write about the things that were happening. During this time of the year my work is sometimes manic, or it feels like manic. There are visits to trainee's, exams, meetings etc. etc. It's every year like this and every year I am trying to do it different but it never works. Guess that is everywhere in the field of education because also my colleagues from other schools in Europe have the same experience. Maybe it has to do with getting older that it takes so much energy. Things I did easy years ago do take more energy now and it takes more time to recover. It is not complaining but it is a fact of going through different life stages. Not time sometimes can be not making time for things you want to do like writing my blog. But here I am: back on track and only 2 weeks of work to go and than I have so much time to write before going on holiday to Shetland again. One of the highlights of the year is the final fashion-show in my school were students show their final work. Every year I am very proud of them when they show their outfits on stage. As always there are differences but the energy they put in is mazing. I hear sometimes elderly people complaining about the attitude of the youth, and than my reply is: come to our fashion show and see the passion of my students. I loved this quote on the back of a shirt from a youngster collection by Lana. My 2nd years short course (2 years) did show and I am always touched by them. They come from such different and sometimes difficult backgrounds and to see them on stage is always a joy for me. They showed a black and white outfit with bags made of felt with the theme: Comics. Ovan showed his collection in different shades of black with lights who respond on magnetic fields. He is now up for the National Competition to become Most excellent Medium level student of 2010 and voting will start again from the 1th of July onwards till the show in October. There is the usual mess behind the scenes. Strange shoes on the floor....... Strange make-up and hair..... Bram couldn't come to the show for the first time which felt rather strange to me. He always was sitting front row over all the years I have worked on fashion-shows but because of his health situation this year it was not possible for him to come. The results of the blood-tests taken by the molecular doctor showed a big lack in important vitamins and minerals, so he gets injections and has to take many pills. Till now the results are not really visible he feels, but I think it will take lots of months till he will feel a little better (at least that is what I hope for him of-course) I notice with him a slight irritation that things are getting so slow and sometimes I even feel he is slightly giving up the whole thing. We have of-course lots of talks about this and I even gave him the suggestion to speak with a counsellor about the fact how to deal with this all. Sometimes it can be very good to talk about this with a stranger is my experience. Dealing with lack of energy and every day dealing with this must be very hard to do. Till now we manage and my biggest mourning is really over. I can handle it much better than last year at this time. Hopefully the holiday will do something positive for him. Yes..... and what else did happen. I finished my first Art-coach project with a very positive result. The firm I did coach on creativity is very enthusiastic and I think I really can do this work. I loved it to work on it and feel that that might be a road to take more in the future. After summer-holiday I get another firm to coach and in November there is a training at the Art school in Utrecht and than I will get my certificate. In my wildest dreams I have this idea to start a business with this topic. Not sure yet if I would like to do this alone or in a group but time will show this. My artwork is still not very moving and because of that I am doing a little photography project on Facebook. I take everyday a photo with the title: Colour of the day and here is an example: and 1 from a detail of a garment I am wearing that day like this one from the back of my shirt: It focusses me every day on something to look at and I notice by myself that my view towards the world around me gets more aware. One of the nice things of my job is visiting trainees in various firms. Over the last weeks I have travelled many times to the west of Holland. I was in Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam, Arnhem. It takes a few hours to go there from my hometown Deventer. Usually I have 1 or 2 meetings a day and the rest of the day I usually use for visiting the Sculpture Exhibition from Manolo Valdés and I was blown away by it. The exhibition is every year at the beautiful Lange Voorhout and is really worth a visit if you are in The Hague. While in Rotterdam I went after my meeting at Marlies Dekkers (were my student really did great and some of her designs will be in a coming collection) I went for a walk which ended in museum Boijmans van Beuningen were I was impressed by the work from Olafur Eliasson and stayed there quite a long time to get the real feeling of his installations. Amazing what he does with light and movement. I also saw this funny man peeping in at a room in the museum. There was really made a hole in the floor and it made me smile... Last Thursday I was in Amsterdam to have a talk with my student at Claes Iversen (I love his designs and he is now having this real beautiful house near a canal were he is making his salon, and he is a real nice person.) After the meeting I went to see the exhibition: From Matisse to Malevich at De Hermitage. To see all those beautiful paintings in real made me very happy and after lunch I went back to see some again. So next to the hard work there is some time to load up the battery...... This weekend is about doing nothing and relaxing in a way to conquer the last 2 busy weeks to come.... O yes.. and knitting.... because after al this blog is called Slip, knit.. meditate. I have been doing some test knitting for Stephen West and a really nice scarf and cap came out (not allowed to show pictures yet).It is knitted in beautiful Berocco Ultra Alpaca yarn which I purchased in London in May. Well, this sneak preview is allowed I think. Some UnFinished socks for Bram will be finished this week so he can wear them this summer.I did start them so long ago and I really want them done. They are knitted in Araucania yarn in beautiful shades. Bram only likes plain and very simple socks and this is such a mindless knit which I like to do now in this busy period. Some more socks need to be finished and my endless time taking lace shawl really needs to be finished (really do not like lace but have to finish it I think) I am not knitting everyday at this moment, not feeling up for it every day, but still love it to do..

Dream Camp! Coming in 2018!
Welcome to Conscious Dreaming....
MoreVisions and dreams, perhaps best described as psychic expressions of our unconscious, have often influenced our world...As an emotional healing modality, Lucid Dreaming experiences are powerfully transforming. Not only is our consciousness dramatically increased in a lucid dream, but we can often see our life conditions from a perspective that results in invaluable change.
In a Lucid Dreaming experience, we may go back to the root of an emotional trauma to find healing. We may also travel back into a past life to re-experience an injury that we never even knew existed. We are also provided with opportunities to mend and heal relationships in our physical lives, as when we "wake up" in dimensions that exist with greater amounts of light energy, we may be shown previously unseen sources of conflict, that in just moments—can provide instant understanding, acceptance and release.
Visionary Dreaming is truly unparalleled in its power to bring light, hope, and healing into our lives. more

Books By John Stone - Click Spiritual Visions Books for Details
We now have a Body Sound Chaise, a chair that inspires lucid states of consciousness through sound, vibration, music and electromagnetic field
that helps to align the body's chakras. Learn more about the chair and how

In the summer of 1998, Bill Dorsch had retired from the Chicago Police Department and was working as a private detective for IFPC, an investigative services company run by Jim Fruin, the commander of detectives whom Dorsch had worked under at Chicago's Area Five. The Better Government Association was looking into the horrifying robbery/murder in suburban Palatine that became known as the Brown's Chicken Massacre and asked Dorsch to come in for a conversation about how the Palatine police had conducted the investigation. During a break, Dorsch was asked casually what kinds of cases really stayed with him, and on his list he included Gacy and some of the haunting stories concerning the property at Miami-Elston where Gacy had worked as a caretaker. He said he'd phoned in his suspicions upon Gacy's arrest, but that he didn't think there'd been any follow-up.
The BGA was intrigued and before long, they and IFPC had brought US Radar, based in Matawan, New Jersey, to Chicago to take a look at the property.
The building, which contains five apartments and a utility area across from the unit in the basement, sits on the northwest corner of West Miami and North Elston, a diagonal artery. It's very close to the building to the north, with only a sidewalk separating the two and giving access to the apartments' back doors. The property's open space is the triangular yard in front of the structure and a small parking lot to the west of it.
On October 7, 1998, US Radar, with company president Ron LaBarca in the driver's seat, surveyed portions of the front yard and the parking lot. They hadn't spoken to the building's owner, but the scan, done with noninvasive ground-penetrating radar, which is used to detect the presence of everything from geologic features to plastic landmines, was performed in broad daylight and no one asked them to stop.
Their report to the BGA showed numerous instances of "non-naturally occurring changes in the soil structure" and characterized their findings as "extremely compelling." They indicated several as "prime areas for further investigation."
The report was duly submitted to the Chicago police and after LaBarca interpreted his findings for them, they seemed to agree that "further excavation" was in order. A Chicago Tribune story on November 11 and follow-ups in other local media may have sealed the deal.
But the CPD's search warrant application, prepared in case they ran into any resistance from the owner, reveals without a doubt that the police were well persuaded by the evidence. Written by Sergeant Frank Cappitelli to be signed by Detective Edwin Dickinson (though it never was), the document reads:
"Based on the facts of my investigation . . . [Gacy] is the most prolific known serial killer in the State of Illinois . . . and there is credible scientific evidence to believe that the possibility exists that human remains are buried in the yard and black top contiguous to 6100-6114 W. Miami. . . . I believe that there are buried remains located [there]."
On November 23 the police mustered at the site and prepared to dig.
There were indications that the search wouldn't come to much.
Dorsch says his old friend and police colleague Rocky Rinaldi began to deliver messages indicating he'd be persona non grata at the site that day.
The police brought Ron LaBarca back to Chicago to rescan the property for them, but when he arrived on site the morning of the dig, he was informed that the excavation would encompass only a small area of the front lawn. He urged the police to include the basement and the parking lot, but they refused to revise their approach.
Caution tape formed a wide perimeter, which kept the gathering media and other observers a good 50 feet from the action.
And before the dig got under way, LaBarca was informed that he was leaving. He was taken back to O'Hare, where he watched the proceedings on an airport television.
Another person watching the dig on TV was Mike Nelson, who'd been a teenager living across the street from the building in the 1970s. He'd been asked by the police for information–to point out the locations of some very strange events he'd observed–and he was curious to see how they'd act on it. What he saw was completely confounding.

When 25-1 shot Encke beat hot, 5-2 on, favourite Camelot in the final classic flat race of the season, the St Leger, at Doncaster last autumn, it was the bookies not the punters laughing all the way to the bank.
Similarly, Chelsea and Bayern Munich drawing 1-1 at full time in the Champions League Final, England's nil-nil draw with Italy in the Euros and Bubba Watson's victory in the US Golf Masters were all big days for the betting industry.
Such a run of form helped William Hill to a 20% surge in operating profits on a 12% rise in revenues in 2012, it said today. Chief executive Ralph Topping said: "The fourth quarter delivered a strong end to an already good year in 2012. Performance was robust in retail, and profits continued to grow strongly in online, with sporting results going in our favour in both channels."
William Hill Online's revenues rose 27% but bets over the counter in shops were down by 1%. That was partly offset by a 5% increase in the amount wagered in slot machines in shops. The group said it expects to complete the £454 million takeover of Sportingbet's Australian and Spanish operations within the next couple of months, giving it critical mass in both markets.
The shares today put on 14.85p, or 4%, to 381.25p.Reuse content

The customer has 7962 phones, and is asking a 2 part question; can the call history size be increased, and if so what the upper limit is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Matt,

Is Jimmie Johnson Killing NASCAR?
There are 116 comments on the Bleacher Report story from Oct 25, 2009, titled Is Jimmie Johnson Killing NASCAR?. In it, Bleacher Report reports that:
Five races left until the end of the season, or is it fives races left until the death of NASCAR according to some of the fans who are already writing their own obituaries? After cruising the Internet's highways and byways taking in some of the small talk about the current state of the sport, which I did find kind of amusing at times, I couldn't ...

It really is a trashy (drug) sport. My brother will watch a little of it on TV. It will usually put him to sleep. The UFC is a real mans sport!!!
#2 Oct 26, 2009
It's getteing really old and boring. i've watche for years and for the first time can see my self not watching. the point system or somethung has to change.
#3 Oct 26, 2009
I use to watch it everytime it is on. Now you kinda know that Jimmy will win so why watch. I wish it would go back to the old days when it was fun to watch. I find other things to do on Sundays now. So to answer your question Yes Jimmy Johnson and Nascar have killed nascar. RIP

When Petty dominated, did it hurt the sport?
When Yarborough dominated, did it hurt?
How bout Earnhardt?
Gordon's run of titles certainly did not!
One person out of a hundred can easily say that "It's getting really old and boring." What that means is nothing.
For the peceptually-challenged allow me to say this...
Jeff Gordon is LOSING this championship.
Kurt Bush is LOSING this championship.
Tony Stewart is LOSING this championship.
Matt Kenseth is LOSING this championship.
All of these former Cup champions are failing.
Every driver drives under the same points system. Every driver drives the same types of car. The difference is the TEAM. Especially the driver and crew chief. This is the great connector between champions past and present. You can easily point to a great drive and crew chief combination when it comes to this sport.
And so on!
Knaus and Johson head the latest great TEAM in NASCAR Cup history.
Makes no difference what the point format is - the reality is the same - Top ten finishes and wins wins championships. The format you currently blast, actually makes the championship CLOSER! If not for this format, Johnson would already be coasting with less than a handful of races to go. With this format, he could still actually lose it...
But he won't.
He won't because he's got the most imaginative, well-funded and motivated crew chief and team in motorsports. In the world of sports, you MUST understand one universal truth...
If you can't ACCEPT that, then you should find something else to pay attention to.

But its not the 48 team's fault other teams are going through so many changes. Id blame it on other teams failing and Johnson staying consistent. Carl and Kyle are perfect examples of how other teams are losing their edge.

Thank you Mark. You nailed it. I've been saying that too just not as eloguently.lol. There have always been teams that dominated the sport. And the 48 is just the one doing it right now. Someone else will come along eventually.(keeping my eye on that young Joey guy). But for now it is Jimmie and it is what it is. If it was anyone else they'd be doing the same thing. Look how many people hated Kyle when he came along. They said he was too aggressive and had an attitude. They don't like Jimmie because he's not aggressive enough. Its always something.

Actually, Tony Stewart would have an 80 point lead over Johnson if the chase format never existed. We would have a CLOSER points battle than we have right now with the chase.

We're witnessing something in Nascar that has never been seen before. One driver going for a 4peat. Thats what this sport is about. Breaking and setting records, getting out there to be the best.
#13 Oct 26, 2009
I don't think Jimmie is ruining nascar as much as he is making the chase a bore-fest... At the same time... When the Champion raises the level of competition it's up to the competition to raise the bar and make a name for themselves... Unlike most other sports, it seems like the latest Champion in nascar is the only one stepping up!

Closer for the leaders but not so close for those who fell off. It would be more of a run-away without having tightened the points, only Johnson may not be ahead, but so Johnson's ahead or somebody else is... but better the top 10 were at least closer at the start of the chase.

I think the latest champion is the one who's keeping his consistency when its the others who are losing their edge. Kyle had a great 2007, as did Carl, and Jr was at least showing some potential. When some teams lose consistency, others take their place in ranks.
The 48 team just didnt lose their stride, and perhaps even improved, but not like the 2007 season against the 24 who was far better that season, but couldn't bring it home against the 48. Those two teams, and the 5 team are showing they have staying power. Stewart's team is stepping up, and JPM is showing huge improvement.
#16 Oct 26, 2009
JJ is a great driver with a cool head. Chad is a smart CC who probably devotes more time to his job than anyone. If he worked on Wall St he would be a billionaire. I don't like to see them win all the time but somebody else needs to step up. Don't penalize them for working harder than anyone else.

Going into these last four races I think it is going to be the 42 car to watch. I would love for it to be Tony Stewert tho. And just maybe Denny Hamlin might be a factor but not for the championship.

The good thing is my 2nd and 3rd place favs are in 2nd and 3rd. I'd rather Gordon or Martin inherit the lead, and bring home the championship, than anyone else.
#20 Oct 26, 2009
but generally speaking the chase makes the race MUCH closer. how far back would third place be now? wjat about 12th? about 750 or 1,000 back to 12th?
you are right about the fact in this case, but you also know better. you are one of the few logical voices on these boards. the new system makes for a much closer finish and many more with a chance later into the season.

Blown away, to describe this sword in detail, would take pages of writing, and even then justice could not be done to this beautiful piece of art.(NOTE: YOU COULD EXPECT TO PAY UPWARDS OF 700 DOLLARS FOR A PIECE LIKE THIS)Pros: The tsuka is very sturdy, with a very tight same ray skin wrapping that wont move even when force is applied. The ito is flawless, perfect diamond shapeThe menuki is a piece of art in itself, depicting a sakura flower.The tsuba, although in my opinion, slightly on the plain side adds another layer of beauty, and is the perfect size (at least for my hands). this is not some machined replica, this was hand made for this blade and fits in very well, and is very secure.The sageo (cord wrap) is made of high quality black rope that looks like an over sized shoe lace, and is secured tightly to the saya.The saya is a deep burgundy red color, and has a high gloss finish that is very reflective. very attractive.You can clearly see the hada in the steel, from the folding process, and it is quite easy to tell that he blade screams of qualityThe sword is very blade heavy, but that just adds to the cutting potential of the extremely sharp blade.The kissaki is very well defined.Cons:There are only two cons i could think of1. On the seppa, on one side in small letters is the word china. for a sword of this quality, a china stamp is very unnecessary2. On the fuchi, tsuba and kashira, in the picture provided, they look bronzed, but mine are more black in color...not really a big deal to me, but still, it should be mentioned Also, im not sure whether this is a pro or a con, but there is no hi (blood groove) on the blade.************************************The box containing the sword and cleaning kit seems o be made of pine, and looks great for a display box.The cleaning kit is just average only coming with small amounts of oil and rice paper, but it gets the job doneThe satin sword bag is blue and gold, and is very nice. the rope even has tastes on each end ************************************Delivery was extremely fast at only two days (and im in California), and True Swords kept up to there promises, by only delivering the best of the best at-the best prices around. I am very satisfied, and i will be back for more.Thank you True Swords for yet another amazing product!
This sword is absolutely amazing. Most people write Musashi off as a sub-par brand however, this blade is on and above what I was expecting. First off the wrap is very tight and very well done. The gaps are completely symmetrical on each side and neither side will slide about at all, even when attempted forcefully. The saya is a beautiful deep red.The blade has a prominent hamon and is EXTREMELY sharp. You can, upon close examination, even see the individual folds in the steel itself. It effortlessly cut through two side by side gallon jugs with (literally) only a flick of the wrist (all I have to test with at the moment). The sword bag and cleaning kit are also well made, they don't feel cheap. The certificate and the envelope it is in are made of an interesting textured paper. The box is nothing to be too excited about, considering it is made of a very light wood and the satin appears to be sewn onto Styrofoam. Still though aesthetically pleasing.The fittings are impressive and solid.All in all, I would say that it is defiantly a great buy. Call me crazy but I would probably choose this sword as opposed to the practical series if heading into combat, but that may just be a personal bias.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Newtown, Conn., officials have met to discuss what to do with the elementary school where 20 first-graders and six educators were shot to death in December, but they haven't made a decision.
A task force of 28 local elected officials met Friday night for several hours and will return next week for another meeting.
They heard mixed opinions from residents on what should be done with Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The task force has narrowed a list of choices to renovating or rebuilding on the school site or building a new school on property down the street.
Brian Engel, who lost his daughter in the shooting, said he doesn't want her brother going into the building where his older sister was killed.
"We do want him to go to Sandy Hook school," Engel said, "but at an alternative location, not where his sister died."

OK ...its a 99.5 Jetta vr6 with 117k. Love the car ,,done a lot of work on it and dont want to trade it yet so anyway my latest issue is what I think may be a wheel bearing ,,pretty sure its the pass. rear.
...a couple of months ago I started noticing the wro wro wro sound, thinking it was tire noise. I noticed the rear passenger inner tread was feathered a bit and the camber looked like the problem. Visually inspecting the other 3 tires, all looked really good.
The noise is constant, I did check all wheels @ 9-3 and 12-6 positions, with no movement at all
except the front passenger side front and Im sure thats the tie rod, its a little worn but nothing major. I did the drivers side t/rod so I know tie/rod symptoms.
When I bear a hard left and put the weight of the car on the passenger side the noise would go away untill the car came back in a straight forward direction. I thought I was making the car go off the inner side of the tire so it must be tread noise.
So I rotated the backs to the front on both sides, pumped in 38 pounds and still wro-wro-wro noise. So I criss -cross rotated the front to back from opposite sides. still the noise but now the feathered tire is on the outside edge of the drivers side.
But here's the kicker.. when I make a hard left while driving , or going left on a tight corner , the noise disappears.. AHaa! I thought ,,,its got to be a wheel bearing,, so I check all the wheels at 9-3 &12-6 and no movement at all.
Id guess its a wheel bearing, as it quiets down when I put weight on the side I think is bad.
It roars pretty constant from 10MPH on up. and changes tone with speed . most of the Bad W/bearing stories Ive read are a whooo sounf at certain speeds. My old 96 B4 passat was like that too. I changed 3 on that car.
Anyone have a story like this one? thx.

Suncor to revisit growth plans as new CEO takes charge
By Scott Haggett
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - The new chief executive of Suncor Energy Inc, Canada's No. 1 integrated oil producer and refiner, said on Wednesday the company is revisiting plans for a massive expansion of its oil sands operations as looks to increase profits.
Suncor, which late on Tuesday reported a better-than-expected 28 percent jump in second-quarter profit, will no longer commit to an ambitious growth program that would see production nearly double by the beginning of the next decade.
"I'm not focused on getting to a million barrels a day of production by 2020," Steve Williams, who replaced Rick George as Suncor's CEO earlier this year, said on a conference call. "That said, I have no doubt we will eventually get to that level of production and beyond. But what I am focused on is achieving strong returns for our shareholders. Growth for the sake of growth doesn't interest me much."
Suncor is the dominant producer in the oil sands of northern Alberta, the world's third-largest storehouse of crude oil. It plans to increase its lead over competitors with two new oil sands mines and an upgrader to convert bitumen wrested from the sands into synthetic crude oil, to be built as part of a joint venture with French oil major Total SA.
But those plans have not been entirely welcomed by shareholders concerned about a return to the massive cost overruns that plagued the industry before the 2008 financial crisis. Suncor shares have fallen by nearly a quarter over the past 12 months in part because of concerns that its expansion plans will squeeze profits.
Now, Williams said, the partners will examine the economics of each of the planned growth projects before looking for spending approvals from their boards of directors in 2013. During that process, the joint venture may decide not to ahead with one or more of the projects.
"They will be individual projects and individual board approvals," he said. "In principle, there is the opportunity to not progress these projects."

Floating path on London's Thames gets nod
By Stefano Ambrogi
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Plans to erect a floating walkway on London's River Thames, affording spectacular views of forgotten parts of the city, got a major boost on Friday by securing up to 60 million pounds ($97.5 million) in funding.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said the kilometre-long pontoon design, known as "the London River Park," won financing from Singapore-based asset managers, Venus Group.
The structure, that will rise and fall with the tidal river, will link Blackfriars Bridge, on the western edge of the old city, and run almost to the Tower of London in the east.
The design, by architects Gensler, is subject to planning permission and approval by the City of London Corporation and other agencies.
"We will proceed sensitively, working closely with our partners ... to ensure that one of the most famous and cherished waterfronts in the world is enhanced for the benefit of our great capital," the mayor said, calling it "spectacular."
The elegant structure allows visitors to hop on and off the walkway via gangways allowing them to explore landmarks, alleys and disused wharves close to the shore.
Many of the cramped cobbled streets, with names like "Stew Lane" and "Broken Wharf" have become difficult to access as the city has grown over the centuries and are way off the usual tourist routes.
Floating on the water near the north bank, the walk will be interspersed with eight glass-encased pavilions, possibly housing a museum, a cinema, a concert hall and an eco-park amongst other attractions. Continued...

Colombo, Oct 1: Australia take on Pakistan in another high intensity tie at R Premadasa Stadium in the Super Eights decider on Tuesday.
With 4 points from two games, Australia are heading the points table while it's a clash between India, Pakistan and South Africa to make it to the second spot as they battle it out on Tuesday.
Sitting comfortable at No 1, Australia have a net run-rate of +1.712 while Pakistan (-0.426), India (-0.452) and South Africa (-0.605) are playing their last Super Eights clash on Tuesday as the two games decide the Semifinalists as well.
Given the form, Australia start favourites as they have won all the matches so far in the tournament, while Pakistan will be back after their cruising eight-wicket loss to India, as they face a must-win situation in order to stay afloat in the tournament.
With Watson (234) Warner (122) scoring heavily for the team, the opening pair has won many matches for Australia in the tournament so far and would continue to keep up the momentum while the middle-order has also pitched in on many occasions as Mike Hussey and Cameron White have also played well.
Shane Watson has been the most important player for Australia ever since his return as he has been quite consistent with the bat and ball as he has picked 10 wickets in the tournament so far, while MA Starc has claimed 6 wickets in World T20 2012.
On the other hand, Pakistan are struggling as they are highly inconsistent. On a given day, they can definitely win, provided they improve all the areas mainly fielding and batting. They have a balanced team but the unpredictable tag makes them a weaker side.
Top order has been performing well in bits, the onus is on playing consistently, while they need to improve their fielding as well which has been shoddy at times.
The Super Eights decider is a must win game for Pakistan to stay alive in the tournament.
Australia: George Bailey (captain), Dan Christian, Pat Cummins, Xavier Doherty, Ben Hilfenhaus, Brad Hogg, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Glenn Maxwell, Clint McKay, Mitchell Starc, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
Pakistan: Mohammad Hafeez (Captain), Imran Nazir, Nasir Jamshed, Kamran Akmal (wicketkeeper), Asad Shafiq, Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi, Yasir Arafat, Umar Akmal, Saeed Ajmal, Raza Hasan, Umar Gul, Mohammad Sami, Sohail Tanvir.

The Kaleidoscope Career Model
Mainiero, Lisa, Sullivan, Sherry, & Terjesen, Siri A. (2008) The Kaleidoscope Career Model. In Torres-Coronas, Teresa & Arias-Oliva, Mario (Eds.) Encyclopedia of Human Resources Information Systems: Challenges in e-HRM. Information Science Reference.
This chapter briefly reviews the concept of the Kaleidoscope Career, defining its key parameters of authenticity, balance and challenge as well as the Alpha and Beta Kaleidoscope Career patterns. Using the metaphor of a kaleidoscope, we suggest that individuals rearrange the different aspects of their lives to form different career patterns based on the individual's particular situation at that point in time. The model recognizes the influence of gender upon career decision making, arguing that career transitions are the usually the result of a combination of push and pull factors. Additionally, this chapter discusses the implications of the model for the study of entrepreneurship and generational differences among workers.

The 23 Brightest and Dimmest Members of the Green Lantern Corps
Thanks to Geoff Johns' "Rebirth" storyline and continuing revitalizations to Green Lantern lore, fans have a bigger, badder (set of) corps than ever. Still, no matter how many willful wearers don the mantle, every GL is different. As Nathan Fillion sang in his Captain Hammer role, "Everyone's a hero in their own way, in their own not-that-heroic way." After all, G'Nort is no John Stewart.
That's why, in celebration of this week's "Green Lantern" #50, we're profiling the Universe's most heroically-hued peacekeepers based on performance (and of course, an arbitrary sense of awesomeness care of the combined might of Chris Sims and Caleb Goellner). Read on to see where some of your favorite lanterns rank in part one of our GL rankings …In "The Corps" DC Universe.
Following the conclusion of a huge anger war after the DC Comics and Mortal Kombat universes merged, combatant Sonya Blade was left with a random dead GL's ring but no power battery. Her further adventures Corpsing it up have not been chronicled in an official capacity, but probably populate some very NSFW fan fiction.CA Says: "Say Bob, you know what would be awesome?" "What's that, Bob?" "If we took a character from a sub-par fighting game about gruesome murder and made her a space policeman with a magic green wishing ring." "Bob, are you drunk?" "Yes. Yes I am."
A cartoon squirrel from what's essentially a planet of cartoon animals, Ch'p got his start as a GL while awaiting his execution as a rebel warrior. After many adventures and a failed suicide attempt, he was struck down on the highway by a yellow truck.
CA Says: A kid-friendly funny animal that's run over by a truck and then resurrected as a zombie. There's a metaphor in there somewhere, but we're getting too depressed to make it.
Suffering from the universe's worst bundle of daddy issues, Arisia used her Green Lantern ring to age herself to non jailbait age so Hal Jordan would reciprocate her affection. If that's not creepy enough, she's also an orange elf alien who fought Nekron the first time around, moved to Earth with no powers and got her neck snapped by Major Force before a resurrection and more Jordan smooching.
CA Says: The more writers try to make Hal's Nabokovian alliance with Arisia okay ("Her people age slower than humans! She's really in her hundreds!"), the more it just has the opposite effect of reminding us that the Official Greatest Green Lantern Ever totally used to have the hots for a minor. Still, it's worth noting that thanks to last year's Watchmen movie, Hal and Arisia has finally been replaced as creepiest couples' cosplay by The Comedian and Silk Spectre.
All you really need to know about G'Nort is that he's a dog who patrolled an empty sector and made his first arrest by biting a Silver Surfer analog's bare ass and writers seem to completely hate him.
CA Says: The goofiest character of a Justice League era defined by goofiness, G'Nort was like a tongue-in-cheek version of Jar-Jar Binks, which meant that a lot of people hated him. That still doesn't explain why writer/artist Howard Chaykin thought it was a good idea to portray him as (and we're quoting from Wikipedia here) "more serious […] suffering heavily from the loss of his family." Yeeesh.
Hal Jordan
A captain in the United States Air Force/insane test pilot, Hal Jordan ran into a crashed space ship housing a dying Abin Sur who passed onto him the mantle of the Green Lantern of sector 2814 due to the strength of Jordan's will. Later on he got gray hair and lost a city full of former conquests, so he teamed up with a yellow space bug to kill his friends.
CA Says: According to Geoff Johns, Hal Jordan was the cool guy in the Justice League that everyone else wanted to be. We're pretty sure he was reading different comics than we were, because we remember him being the old man who got hit in the head a lot that had to be told by Green Arrow that racism was a bad thing.
Like Arisia, Laira took over for her former GL father. Unlike Arisia, Laira was pretty good at her job. After losing her ring for awhile and getting it back, she had some adventures with the Corps before losing it at a crime scene and becoming a vomiting Red Lantern. Later on Sinestro killed her. What was that about her being good at her job?
CA Says: Between wearing an outfit that consists of Gambit's boots and a high-cut Baywatch swimsuit and her more recent work puking out her blood so that it can be replaced by hate, getting killed, and becoming a zombie, Laira is somehow managing to give even Jack T. Chance a run for his money as the most '90s Green Lantern of all time.
Jack T. Chance
Long hair? Check. Lives on a planet called "Hellhole?" Check. Too EXTREME to wear your "uniform," grandpa? Check. Shot a bad guy with a gun when his ring refused to kill him? Check. Fought Lobo on at least two occasions? Check and check. Don't look now, guys, but we're pretty sure we just found the most '90s character ever.
CA Says: Created by John Ostrander and Henry Flint, Jack is so over-the-top that it's almost impossible to tell if he's a true child of '90s excess or an incredibly sharp parody of it. We're going to go with the latter, if only because of his version of the GL Oath:
You who are wicked, evil and mean– I'm the nastiest creep you've ever seen! Come one, come all, put up a fight, I'll pound your butts with Green Lantern's Light! Yowza!
Come on, folks: There's no way someone could write that if it wasn't on purpose.
Charlie Vicker
Ol' Charlie learned that with great power comes a crappy life after his role as TV's Green Lantern was cut short by a hang over, a confused Qwardian-murdered brother. Somehow this former playboy gets stuck with a real GL ring and one of the worst sectors in the galaxy. After finally coming to terms with his boring life, he's depowered, forced to join the Darkstars and killed by Darkseid's inconsequential third son.
CA Says: Charlie Vickers makes us imagine how much more awesome the world would be if Adam West just cold decided to start fighting crime after the "Batman" TV show got canceled in 1969, and while that's awesome, it's a constant reminder that we do not live in the best of all possible worlds.
Rot Lop Fan
Hailing from a lightless corner of the cosmos, Rot Lop Fan operates via sound as a member of the F-Sharp Corps. While he hasn't been extremely active of late, he's been listening to a lot of nu metal in an effort to curb his Red Lantern-like feelings mid '90s angst.
CA Says: Alan Moore's work on Green Lantern in the '80s was pretty much just an excuse to explore neat ideas, and Rot Lop Fan represents one of the neatest: How do you explain a purely visual idea to a creature that has no concept of sight? It's a nifty little story, but there's no need to ever go back to it.
One of the corps finest trainers and mentors, Kilowog began his career as a geneticist in a vastly populated and communal society. Despite his best efforts, his planet was wiped out twice leaving him one of the universes lone Bolovaxians.CA Says: Kilowog may have added the word "poozer" to the dictionary of nerds everywhere, but the idea of a heroic character taking the side of the communist Russians made him one of the more interesting bits of the 1980s DC Universe.
Medphyll is a cool talking tree from a planet of sentient plants. As such, he's been a pretty good buddy to Swamp Thing. His homeworld, J586 sounds like the name of a pop punk and/or boy band form the '90s, but you shouldn't hold that against him.
CA Says: Medphyll was just another nifty-looking background character 'til he showed up in an awesome issue of Starman as a prisoner of an alien jail that totally tried to shank Jack Knight during a riot. That might not make him a good Green Lantern, but it totally makes him an awesome one.
One of the quietest GLs, Mogo is a giant, sentient planet with a costume made from trees. He recently made a splash on Oa by destroying scores of Black Lanterns with his gravity. Not a bad ally to have, really.
CA Says: Okay, we get it: Alan Moore is great and we all want to use his characters. But c'mon, guys, when the whole deal with a character is that he "doesn't socialize," does he really need to be in every crossover?
Losing his life during one of his earliest battles as a GL, Driq's power ring absorbed his life force making him half alive and half dead before it was cool. He's a Black Lantern now, meaning the only thing that's changed is his dead side is a lot meaner.
CA Says: Being a Green Lantern with so much willpower that you wouldn't let yourself die is totally badass on its own, but the fact that he was doing this stuff a good twenty years before the rest of comics caught up with the whole zombie thing makes Driq one of our all-time favorite Lanterns.
John Stewart
An architect with US Marine Corps training, Stewart's agile mind and strong character made him a perfect candidate to replace an injured Guy Gardner. Like any good hero, however, standing up to Hal Jordan and thinking for himself ended up causing him a lot of pain and suffering. Star Sapphire chopped up his wife to prove a point to Jordan, and even after her resurrection, she was killed yet-again by a Parallax-influenced Jordan. Stewart is also very forgiving.
CA Says: You wouldn't know it from reading his more recent adventures, wherein he uses the ultimate cosmic weapon that can create anything he imagines to make… a gun, but John Stewart was once the more mellow Green Lantern, coming out of his angry youth with an appreciation for fine coffee and–we are not making this up–the music of Barbara Streisand. Call us crazy, but we kinda miss that.
Soranik Natu
A neurosurgeon on the formerly Sinestro-dominated Korugar (a planet with no love for Green Lanterns), Soranik has fought to balance her identities as a doctor and a GL in the face of extreme resentment. She also brought relatively short-term boytoy Kyle Rayner back form the dead through the power of love. Huey Lewis knows what that's about.
CA Says: While she's obviously cast in the mold of her predecessor, Katma Tui, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Soranik's competence and toughness (not to mention the fact that she's so far managed to date Kyle Rayner without having a piano dropped on her or something) makes her one of the most likable Green Lanterns ever, and certainly a standout among the recent crop.
Sodam Yat
Essentially Superman with a super powerful Green Lantern ring, Sodam Yat's Daxamite physiology makes him the Guardian's dreamboat Chosen One. He's lit up suns and killed a lot of bad guys but miraculously survives pretty much whatever is thrown at him.
CA Says: Though it never ended up happening, Sodam Yat was created by Alan Moore to use in his never-published pitch, "Twilight of the Super-Heroes," where he was going to be the last man standing after the entire Corps took on Superman. And really, whether it happened or not, Alan Moore creating you to kill Superman? That's worth some points.
Katma Tui
Now deceased, Katma Tui was Soranik Natu's predecessor as a GL from Sinestro's former planet, the lantern-hating Korugar. Despite numerous successful missions, training and marrying John Stewart, and basically being awesome at her job, Tui was killed in her home by Star Sapphire as a message to Hal Jordan.
CA Says: The fact that Katma Tui was killed just to give another character something to be mad about is one of the biggest sore points among Green Lantern fans (and brother, there are a LOT of sore points among Green Lantern fans), but we can sympathize. As awesome as it is to have stuff like Rot Lop Fan, Katma's role as the one who figured out how to bring him into the corps defined her as a strong, resourceful character that really deserved better.
Guy Gardner
Despite an abusive childhood, an ugly haircut and a subsequent delinquent adolescence, Guy Gardner is a college grad and a former educator and social welfare worker. Even though he causes Batman to punch him in the face on occasion and wore Sinestro's old yellow ring, he's actually a solid dude who cares about those less fortunate. He also had some sick superpowered tribal tats for awhile.
CA Says: As annoying as Guy can be–and brother, he can be annoying–he's a brilliant character. Why? Because a guy that was totally honest and totally fearless really WOULD be a complete jerk.
Daffy Duck
During a televised adventure as Duck Dogers, Daffy accidentally swaps his dry cleaning with Hal Jordan become "The Green Loontern." While he has trouble recognizing his inherent ability to fly prior to receiving the ring, has a lot of trouble with the GL oath and generally annoys the rest of the Corps, Daffy helps defeat Sinestro before returning his ring and uniform to Jordan and returning to his normal life.
CA Says: If there was any justice in this world, "Blackest Night" would end like this:
"Lantern season!"
"Zombie season!"
"Lantern season!"
"Zombie season!"
"Lantern season!"
"Lantern season!"
Alan Scott
A founding member of the Justice Society of America, this Green Lantern is still indirectly related to the Green Lantern Corps, drawing his power from the Starheart rather than the Central Power Battery. It is said that even though he's not a direct part of the corps, the magical entity he draws his power from may have influenced his identity having remembered its own cosmic imprisonment by the Guardians many ages ago.
CA Says: There are a lot of reasons why Alan Scott is hands-down one of the best Golden Age characters–not the least of which are his portrayal in "The Golden Age" as someone brave enough in his civilian life to stand up to HUAC–but if you asked us, we'd have to go with the fact that he's a Green Lantern who straight up wears a red sweatshirt and a ginormous purple cape. He's like what would happen if Prince was in the Justice Society.
Kyle Rayner
A young graphic artist recruited seemingly at random by a trash-dwelling Guardian, Rayner became the universe's last lantern after Parallax wiped out the Corps. The Corps is better now and they have Kyle to thank for his lonely, uncertain tenure. His girlfriend also loves him so much that she brought him back from the dead.
CA Says: You know those really aggressive commercials for yogurt where there's some old dude in a sweater vest and glasses eating yogurt in a library and then a kid with a skateboard kicks over the Large Print section and slams a serving of yogurt into his mouth from a tube while guitars wail a power chord, and it rocks the old dude so hard that his yogurt explodes and the kid's like IN YOUR FACE OLD MAN? Kyle Rayner is pretty much just like that, but we love him anyway.
Raker Qarrigat
One of the lone sources of light on Darkseid's horrifying homeworld, Qarrigat lead a few unsuccessful rebellions against the tyrant. He's kind of a Sisyphusian character, pushing against a force that will never move, but he's got a rest for a while now that the Fourth World is MIA.
CA Says: The very idea of the Green Lantern of Apokolips is the kind of shared universe crossover that only really happens in super-hero comics, and thanks to creator Walt Simonson, it's one of the best. Even better is the idea that, thanks to "Emerald Twilight," Raker had to seal his ring in a time bubble, relying on it only in case of emergencies lest his final 24 hour charge run out and leave him powerless to battle Jack Kirby's ultimate evil! We're not gonna lie here folks: Raker Qarrigat is totally one of our faves.
In the aftermath of "Green Lantern: Rebirth," the Dark Knight tries on Hal Jordan's ring for a moment. Though he's worthy of the power, he'd never be able to fully wield it without fully moving past the deaths of his parents.
CA Says: This is the Green Lantern that threatened to rip the ComicsAlliance staff apart. Some of us (and by "some of us," we mean Chris Sims) are diametrically opposed to the idea that there's something Batman can't do, let alone that he would ever need to be something besides Batman, but others have pointed out that the fact that Batman is the best at everything means that even though he only had the ring for about five minutes, for those five minutes he was the best Green Lantern ever. We are forced to concede the point.

Thats going to be a bear to squeeze with 230 grains. Good luck Jarhead..
This is a discussion on Amt Backup .45 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hey guys, I had a day off from work today and went to my local gunshop for something to do and found this little baby ...
Hey guys,
I had a day off from work today and went to my local gunshop for something to do and found this little baby used for $180. After checking it out i thought that it would make a good bug to my 1911 or even a good glove box piece. The trigger pull on it is long and heavy but i think with a little practice it might not be too hard to get a good grouping at combat ranges. I've read good and bad about this model and hopefully this one wont be a lemon. It looks like it can use a good cleaning so after i get it cleaned up ill let you guys know how it shoots.
This pistol came with no manual but i foung a manual and other good info for the backup .380 on the net but nothing on the .45 . Do any of you guys know if the .45 field strips like the .380 or do i need to find a manual for the .45
Thats going to be a bear to squeeze with 230 grains. Good luck Jarhead..
Listen, Think and React.....Nuff Said.....
Sweet looking little gun man! shooting .45s from that might hurt a little but hey if it gets the job done! mission acomplished!
I carry because I care.

How the hell do you guys find all them good prices?? Try CorBon 165's,I double dare ya. -----
Ill tell you fellas it might be small but it is quite heavy for its size. hopefully it wont kick any more than my Glock 27 stoaked with my 180 gr. Gold dots.
I was thinking of what to carry it in because i didnt want to get another holster being i have a box full now. I found my old desantis nemesis pocket holster i had for my old Keltec P3AT that i dont have anymore and its a good fit. It even fits in the front pocket of my Levis with no problem
Looks rugged and if weight too - maybe not too punishing.
Certainly interested to know how well it shoots. If reliable then a very possible BUG application!

I still have a couple of DAO Backups, in 9 mm and .380 that I bought new in the 1980's. Mine have worked excellently for me since day one. The .45 weighs about 25 ounces and it has a low bore axis, so recoil is not all that bad, relatively speaking. I have fired polymer .45s with far worse recoil.

That was my first thought too, how come I don't find really cool guns for such good prices. I would try and visit gun stores more often, but then I would buy more stuff, and it would not be just the stuff that is a good price.
Sweet gun, I hope she shoots well. Post a report when you get a chance.
Just in case you feel the need.....
Oh, and I never find those deals either.

We have 2 at the store..............about 240.00 each...........they do work pretty good, but stick with BALL ammo though......
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
I carry one. Trigger pull is like 17lbs, but it is necessary to have a heavy spring due to the low slide mass or something like that. It's not the best thing in the world for driving nails at 25 yards, but WTSHTF, it's an OK backup.
"Life's tough......It's even tougher if you're stupid." -John Wayne
I've shot one before. It functioned like it should but without practice I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
Pretty much a truer belly-gun than a J-frame. I've had two of the .380s, and they were functional little guns. The only major concern I would have is tracking down a transfer bar, extractor & spring, and a couple or three extra mags, as these really aren't out there much, anymore. Enjoy!
Well i got a manual from another site and it does'nt break down like the backup .380, but simular to a Keltec P3AT. When i got it apart i could'nt believe how much crud was inside. Especially from the view down the magazine well. Lots of lint and dust but a few blasts of gun scrubber and it looks just like new. So its all clean and lubed up and hopefully tomorrow i'll get out of work early enough to get to the club and shoot some rounds through it . I'll let you guys know how i make out.
Hi guys,
I just got back from the range and i have to say that im pretty inpressed with this pistol. I shot 100 rounds of 230 gr.WWb fmj. My hand is a little sore but the recoil was very manageable. Double taps at 7 yards got me a average group of about 4" for 6 shots. And at 15 yards slow fire it opens up a bit but i was still on an 8x11 sheet of paper. While the sights are only a groove in the top of the slide they did the trick at 15 yards, but for up close and personal ranges like from 4-7 yards i just had to point shoot to get tight c.o.m. hits. Next to my 1911 its the most pointable gun i now have.
Out of the 100 rounds shot the only problem that i had was with the spare mag that came with the gun. With it topped off with 5 rounds the action would'nt close unless i gave the rear of the slide a good shot with the palm of my hand. With 4 rounds it closed most of the time. With the other mag there was no problem, Feed perfectly. The only other thing is that the brass kept hitting me in the forehead every once in a while LOL. So id have to say that i think i got a winner. I just have to buy a few new mags and while im at it i might get a new Wolf recoil spring because theres no telling how old this one is.

The Perfect Picnic
Family Picnic on Lily Lake trail in Rocky Mountain National Park
"Perfect" is a risky claim to make, and of course a bit subjective. But we think whether you are a health nut or a comfort food fan, when you surround yourself with a beautiful outdoor setting the food just tastes better!
Finger foods are top on our list because they don't require packing a fork or spoon. Of course, finger foods are a very broad category, so here are our favorites:
Cheese & Crackers - There are so many possible variations of this classic combo, but there's something about the crunch of a cracker combined with the filling, creamy flavor of cheese that hits the spot! And cheese and crackers are so portable.
Grapes - another great way to stay hydrated. Grapes are around 80% water.
Sandwiches – I love a good chicken salad or tuna fish sandwich. But when it comes to picnics I tend to avoid mayonnaise based sandwiches. You can't go wrong with a pb&j or ham and cheese!
Applesauce or Yogurt Packets - Grab some Go Go Squeeze or Gogurt packages and pop them in freezer the night before and they can act as ice packs for the rest of your food.
Fried Chicken – this is one you will have to trust me on. My husband suggested this as his favorite picnic food when we were first married. I thought it sounded kind of gross to be honest. But I will readily admit that we all happily devoured it after an active morning outdoors! Here's the secret: make or buy the fried chicken the night before. While it is still hot, leave it out on paper towels for 30 min for some of the excess grease to drain off before refrigerating overnight. This prevents any excess oil from congealing when cold.
Veggie sticks - put some in a ziplock bag with ice. The ice will melt a little and keep the veggie sticks from wilting, and also help keep your other food cool.
Nuts – Any nut is great, but we especially love the Boulder, CO nut company Olomomo! Their nuts come in all kinds of unique flavors and are great for a picnic or trail snack.
Join us on the trails this spring and summer in Rocky Mountain National Park! For designated picnic locations in Rocky Mountain National Park, click here.

Someone told me that there is a universal combination fuel gauge and sending unit you can buy. Is there such a thing? I can't find it in Summitt or Jegs. Either the gauge or the sending unit is bad on my '57 Nomad (reads over full when the sending unit wire is disconnected and stays at about 1/4 tank when the sending unit wire is connected to the sending unit). I would think a combination sending unit and gauge would be cheaper than ordering it specifically for my vehicle.
I don't quite understand your question. How would a 'combination' sending unit/gauge work? One part needs to be in the tank and the other part needs to be in view of the driver. The root of your question, I gather, is "do the sending unit and gauge need to be the same brand and matched to each other", to which the answer is definitely. The resistance of the sending unit and gauge must be matched for them to work properly. Assuming you want to keep the stock '57 gauge, you are stuck with having to buy a new sending unit, if it is bad. I doubt either is faulty - the gauge is acting as it should when you connect/disconnect the sender lead. Senders usually don't fail part way. They either have an open circuit and don't work at all or have a bad electrical ground and do what you describe. Are you sure your gas tank is electrically grounded to the chassis? Try running a black ground wire from one of the flange screws on the sending unit to a screw in the frame. Clean under the screws to white metal and use star washers.
J.C. Whitney sells a gas gauge and matching sender unit. I had one in my 1948 Chevy pickup and it worked fine. You can find it at www.jcw.com part number SN124229X $22.95 MERRY CHRISTMAS......DAVE

Found Objects Transform Modern Dance at Rutgers University in Newark on March 26
Trash cans….pogo sticks…discarded soda bottles. Brian Sanders' JUNK dance ensemble is known for their ingenious use of found objects and clever inventions that bridge the gap between dance and physical theater. Brian Sanders' JUNK will bring its special brand of dance magic to Rutgers University-Newark on Wednesday, March 26, 2014, 7 p.m. in Found Objects: A Symposium on Modern Dance & Physical Theater with Brian Sanders' JUNK at Bradley Hall Theater, 110 Warren Street, on the Rutgers University-Newark Campus.
Presented by the Rutgers Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience, the Symposium will feature JUNK'S touring production, "Patio Plastico," which uses a collection of objects from pogo sticks to broken ladders to create a dynamic and evocative show. Following the performance, artistic director Brian Sanders and company performers will host a post-concert discussion with members of the audience. The symposium is free and open to the public.
Brian Sanders was choreographing and performing both nationally and internationally with MOMIX before founding JUNK. Sanders built his signature style by creating inventive, off-the-wall choreography with found objects and other discarded debris giving way to the troupe's name, JUNK. His choreography blends traditional dance theater with an originality and physicality that has given the company its reputation as the most exciting company in Philadelphia. Dance Magazine cites Sanders' work as "accessible, technically flawless, and thrilling comic dance turns."
The Dance Symposium Series is mounted by The Rutgers Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience, an interdisciplinary academic center that offers the Newark metropolitan area the finest thinkers and artists engaged with key issues of modern life. Currently, the Institute hosts the only semi-annual dance symposium series on the Rutgers-Newark campus. Former dance programs have included Middle Eastern, Indian, African, and Afro-Brazilian, North African, Flamenco, Cambodian, South African, Hip-Hop, Contemporary, and Bharatnatyam dance.
Found Objects: A Symposium on Modern Dance & Physical Theater With Brian Sanders' JUNK is presented by the Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience at Rutgers University-Newark. The Symposium is supported in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/ Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs; by a grant from Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour, a program developed and funded by The Heinz Endowments; the William Penn Foundation; the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency; and The Pew Charitable Trusts; and administered by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation; by an ArtStart Project Grant from the Newark Arts Council; and by the Cultural Arts Programming Fund at Rutgers-Newark.

Sara is the best immigration & criminal attorney in Florida! She was referred to me for immigration by the lawyer that was handling my husbands criminal case. Her follow up and her amazing knowledge of the law impressed me from day one! Her work is outstanding! I was so amazed by her ability, her tactics & the professional way she handled herself not only in our meetings, by her correspondance but also in court. She truly did the impossible! What no other lawyer had been able to achieve. My husband won his case, his record was cleared and she saved him from being deported too! Truly an outstanding lawyer!

Ms. Dill came highly recommended when I was wrongully prosecuted in Miami. I retained her and despite all the bluffing and petty threats from opposing counsel if she didn't "settle the case". Sara was able to secure a dismissal on the Courthouse steps.
Posted by James
December of 2010, things happened to me that left me devastated and with literally nowhere to turn. My reputation was being dragged through the mud and the side effects were slamming closed doors of present opportunity and setting me up for what seemed like no chance to succeed in the future. I was being slandered/libeled and was completely outgunned until I found Ms. Dills card from when I had met her at a charity function I was hosting. We met at her office, I explained the situation, and she was on it. Almost immediately things were changing and the aggressors were forced to retract the libelous and false information being spread. Not only did things clear up, Ms. Dill sent a strong and ferocious message that we were not to be messed with. I can not explain the path that my life was heading because of this, but only can assure anyone reading this that Ms. Dill in all honesty made me feel like she saved my life.

Hey guys,
As the title of the thread implies, I'm looking to lower my 2012 WRX Sedan on the OEM shocks. I'm only looking for about an inch to an inch and a half drop and I'm not only doing it for looks as I would like to improve handling before I go stage 2. I'll probably throw a set of sway bars into the mix down the road but I'd like to do the spring first.
Anyway, I've done some research and it looks like I have a handful of options available... From what I have gathered, I could install a set of RCE Black springs or the STI Pink springs without any negative effect to the OEM shocks, but I would be concerned these springs would not lower the car enough for my taste. I've seen anywhere from .75" to an 1" of lowering claimed using these springs. With that said, I've been looking at the H&R Sports as well as the Eibach Pro Kit as a possible alternative (both claim to lower the car 1.3-1.4 inches) but my concern would be how quickly the stock shocks would wear out using these springs?
If anyone has any advice, experience or picutres of their 2011+ WRX on any of the above springs I would greatly appreciate the input.
Thanks in advance.

What Is The Secret To Seamless Interaction Design?
PSFK is featuring a series of videos about innovative interaction design: what can it achieve in the present and what could potential future uses be.
This week, PSFK is featuring a series of videos created by Christian Svanes Kolding that take on various aspects of the question: what makes great interaction design? His series explores the definition of the process, a discussion of its potential aspirations and how to achieve greatness, to more poetic documentations of various examples. The films were created for the Interaction Design Association in tandem with the first annual Interaction Awards, held in Dublin, February 2012, and can be downloaded via the website.
"Deliberations" is the first film in the series. The documentary is a lyrical three-minute summary about the group of seven jury members who convened in November in New York City to select the award winners. Rather than a series of interviews, the film provides an insider's perspective of what it felt like, as well as looked like, to be there.
Check it out below.

Suthers backs Gessler effort to set up personal criminal defense fund
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers' office this week made what's sure to be a controversial decision to officially support Secretary of State Scott Gessler's effort to establish a legal defense fund. The fund would host contributions from private donors willing to cover costs tied to a Denver District Attorney criminal investigation into reimbursements Gessler charged to his office for alleged unofficial expenses.
The Attorney General's decision came in the form of a letter (pdf) sent Tuesday from Assistant Attorney General Matthew Grove to the state's Independent Ethics Commission. The Commission is considering whether or not such a fund would violate state anti-corruption laws.
