Re: Presenting AOW: Art of War Wrestling - The Greatest Affair
In order, as I read... you should know my reviewing style by now lol
Starting off with a No DQ match? Man, that's something I could have easily seen as the main event! Exciting way to kick off the night, though. Having most of the more extreme action happen with only a steel chair felt like a bit of a jip at first, but with how much variety you gave to such a simple weapon, it's hard for me to even want to complain about it. The table spot at the end provided a bit of variety, though. Again, it was sort of simple for a no DQ match, but with the style of Aero and Jamie, it made it work really well. Very strong opening.
I figured that the guy you were advertising was Carlito, but this kind of signs the contract, if you will. Can't wait to see what you do with Carly. I could easily see him being Danielson's next big feud.
Wait, you're replacing the Miz? Hmm... hopefully this means that he'll be making an in-ring debut. Personally, I'd love it if you brought in John Morrison and had the Dirt Sheet make their debut in AOW. Not that you need a new face in the tag division, since that's one of the hottest things in AOW right now, but it would definitely make things interesting, especially if you threw in some elements of Paparazzi Productions from TNA a few years back.
Another basic interview from Haas and Benjamin, but I wouldn't expect anything less. Their actions always spoke louder. Jericho popping in at the end, though... I can't help but wonder if this is foreshadowing one of the other three teams being part of the Worthy Legion? I mean, if it was any of them, I could see it being American Made. I don't want to jump the gun, though, since I have my reservations on thinking you'd add to the faction again.
I completely forgot that Elix was part of AOW, to be perfectly honest with you. I like him quite a bit, hoping you have big plans for him later down the line. I also like how you gave him a few good spots in what was otherwise a squash match. Wasn't expecting Elix to get a bunch of offense in, don't get me wrong, I'm just stoked that you didn't Delaney him. The Lashley spot after the match was done well. I can tell that you're prepping him to face off against Jericho, and having him go up against what could possibly be your number-two heel right now (Though, from me at least, he's getting the wrong kind of heat) is a good way to set him up to that level. I wouldn't complain if Joe was the one to dethrone the "Worthy Man"
Bringing in Sonya? Hmm... it definitely adds a new level of emotion to this angle. I think you handled it well, giving her minimal time. It really did add a certain level of emotion to this instead of having her ramble on and on and kill the segment. Short, sweet, to the point.
Kind of intrigued to see what you're doing with the Finlay angle. Not much more to say.
Another big win for the Sons of the Dungeon. I can't help but feel that SFC needed the win just a little bit more, but it did make me happy seeing SotD getting their hands raised at the end. Once again, your tag division is possibly the best thing you have going right now.
I can't help but speculate a Miz-Punk feud once Punk is done with Hassan. Speakings of, the attack actually caught me off guard. I also can't help but speculate that The Mercenaries are going to turn on Hassan soon. The animosity between them... you can truly cut that tension with a knife!
A death threat against Heyman? Hmm... you really do know how to make me wonder, mate!
The Jericho-Michaels segment was decent. The mirror spot added a new bit of excitement to it, but I could go a week without hearing Jericho, at this point. I just can't help but feel a certain Cena vibe from him, where a break for a week or two would probably benefit the show and benefit Jericho. Just my opinion, at least.
Is the supershow really the next show? Wow... time flies!
All in all, another good show. While, again, I could use a break from Jericho, the rest of the show was spot-on. Can't wait for the super show!

An Australian is believed to have been injured in the bomb blast outside the UN headquarters in Baghdad that claimed the life of the UN envoy to Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said no Australians were among the 15 dead, but an Australian may have suffered injuries.
"We certainly know that no Australians have been killed," Mr Downer told reporters.
"There's a possibility that one Australian may have been hurt, but we understand at this stage not seriously hurt."
Mr Downer said the bomb blast and the death of Mr de Mello was a great tragedy for the international community.
"He was a good friend of Australia, a good friend of mine and the prime minister's and we will miss him and miss him very much," he said.
Mr Downer said Mr de Mello had also done a superb job as a UN administrator in East Timor.
"The Australian government condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad," Mr Downer said.
"This is a great tragedy for the UN and it's a tragedy for the international community that so many good UN workers have been killed, we think around 15 have been killed and about 100 wounded."
He said the situation in parts of Baghdad was obviously not secure for people to go about their daily business with certainty of security.
"But here you have the UN. What was the UN doing in Iraq?
"It was providing food, it was providing shelter, it was providing humanitarian assistance and a terrorist, be it one of Saddam Hussein's people or an al-Qaeda person, we obviously don't know at this stage, has gone and attacked the people who were in Iraq to help the Iraqis.
"It just shows there are some people on earth who are so wicked and evil that nothing can be done but to confront them."
Mr Downer said he did not believe the UN would, or should, pull out of Iraq.
"The UN needs to reinforce its resolve to see through their mission and to make sure they're able to do what the international community expects them to do."
He said there was substantial Australian Defence Force security around the Australian mission in Baghdad.

text: I bent one of my rims driving in the ice. I really love the rims and really need a replacement. I know they are rare and have not been made for quite some time but just thought it would be worth a shot to see if someone has the same rims. I am only looking for 1 rim but if someone has the rims and is looking to sell all 4 I am willing to pay just encase this ever happens again in the future.

We Do! Peaches Geldof and Tom Cohen's Retro Wedding
Peaches Geldof looked beautiful as she was married to Thomas Cohen over the weekend at the picturesque St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, Kent. Wearing a crown of daisies and an ethereal lace gown, the 23-year-old was the perfect vintage bride. In a picture released by Hello magazine, the bride is seen posing with her father Sir Bob Geldof and new hubby Thomas, and their baby son Astala. It's nice to see them in the news for a happier reason than when Astala fell out of his buggy earlier this week, see that story here!
The wedding ceremony was held at the same church that Peaches' parents were married and also where her mother Paula Yates' funeral took place in twelve years ago. The reception was held at Bob's Kent country mansion, Davington Priory. Peaches described it as 'a country wedding meets Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and quirky touches included the couple having their eight-month-old Golden Retriever puppy Parper as their ring-bearer.
The blue-and cream-iced wedding cake featured edible pig characters, as Peaches said: 'I am obsessed with pigs- I just think they're adorable so they had to play a part in the wedding'.
In his father-of-the-bride speech, Bob said that it was a 'relief' to see his second-eldest daughter married.
''It's a beautiful day, in all senses of the word. I am happy for them. I love seeing people in love."
Peaches, who looks very like her mother Paula, said that she always feels that her late mum is close to her. She had seven bridesmaids, including her sisters Fifi Trixiebelle, Pixie and Tigerlily, and said that she was glad to get married for the sake of her baby Astala.
"'I feel her presence all the time but especially today. Mum loved family celebrations and she would adore Tom and the fact that we've married here. I know she is watching over me and feeling so happy for us. I know it might seem old fashioned but I love that Astala will know that his parents are together and have taken the vows we're taken today. I've married the most wonderful man who I know loves me beyond anything, through my faults."
Peaches wore three different outfits throughout her wedding day. The retro theme wasn't a surprise as the former party girl loves vintage and the 60s, and tweeted a pic of herself earlier this week wearing a 1960s blue velvet and lace dress. On Friday she posted a snap of her left hand to her Twitter page.
She was previously got married to American singer Max Drummey in Las Vegas in 2008, but they split up in February 2009.
Earlier this week the DJ enjoyed her hen party at a sushi restaurant in London but the event was very low-key, with Peaches back at home before 11 pm.
We at RSVP wish Peaches and Tom every happiness.

WASHINGTON--The number of Americans applying for first-time unemployment benefits fell to a multi-decade low last week, a sign of continued strength in the U.S. labor market.
Initial jobless claims, a proxy for layoffs, dropped 19,000 in the week ended Nov. 12 to a seasonally adjusted 235,000, the lowest level since November 1973, the Labor Department said Thursday.
Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected 255,000 new claims.
Jobless claims for the week ended Nov. 5 were left unrevised at 254,000.
Initial claims have remained below 300,000 for 89 straight weeks, the longest such streak since 1970--when the workforce and U.S.population were far smaller than they are today.
Still, data on unemployment-benefit applications can be volatile from week to week. The four-week moving average for initial claims fell last week by 6,500 to 253,500.
The Labor Department said no special factors affected the latest claims data.
The broader U.S. job market has posted steady if unspectacular gains in recent months. Nonfarm employers added 161,000 jobs in October and the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.9%, while average hourly earnings for private-sector workers rose at the fastest year-over-year pace since the recession, the Labor Department reported in early November.
This is the first estimate of jobless claims to follow the Nov. 8 presidential election.
Thursday's report showed continuing unemployment claims, drawn by workers for longer than a week, fell by 66,000 to 1,977,000 to the lowest level since April 2000 in the week ended Nov. 5. The continuing-claimsdata are released with a one-week lag.
The four-week moving average for continuing claims fell to 2,022,500, the lowest level since June 2000. The Labor Department's report on jobless claims can be accessed at: http://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf

Liver Shunt in Pug Yoda PLR 6/14/2010
Hot of the press to answers to questons we have been getting!
If your like us, you probably never heard of a liver shunt in dogs mostly Yorkshire terrier , well thats exactly what our little pugger YODA has.
He was sick showing symptons at 3 months. His ownerd ask for him to be put to sleep .. They siad it was cheaper to buy a new one but the nice vet ask if I could go to Pug Lovers Rescue if that would be ok with them they said yes and there my story starts... (Yoda is 3 now) they noticed he would be sick after her normal meals Vet said he had Liver Shunt's Diease after testing and all my behaviors were classic signs of this diease.
Whne he got here he could not keep food down very much or none sometimes , was very slow and clumsy for a pug we noticed Yoda behaving slightly strange, she wouldn't come when called and seemed to be staring into space, with a glazed look in her eyes. Now Yoda was always wondering off upstairs to get into my bed what we saw was him staring at the wall and could see that he had chewed through toys and was trembling as though he was scared and staggering as if was drunk ....panic...vets.
On arriving at the ER vets We told them about the way he was beahving and the food problems the vets said they had seen this behaviour before it was a liver shunt! Yoda had to stay at the vets. The specialist who wanted to keep Yoda in to do some tests like ultra sound X-rays etc. So cryinging my eyes out through out the journey home, we wondered if that was the last time wewould see my precious little Yoda.
We rush back to the vets for them to explain the liver shunt dieaseas completely and to see Yoda before he was anaesthetized.They told us that he was probably born with it and was surprised she had lasted so long.
A portosystemic shunt is a blood vessel that bypasses liver tissue, carrying blood from the intestines, stomach, spleen, and pancreas to the heart before it can be filtered and cleansed of proteins, sugars, bacteria, and toxins. Shunts are present in all fetal mammals and usually close down shortly before or after birth so that the baby's liver takes over the functions of filtration, storage, and production. In some individuals the shunt doesn't close down or develops in an abnormal place, and the animal's liver doesn't get enough blood supply to grow or function properly.
Proteins in the food are broken down by intestinal bacteria to ammonia and other toxins which are absorbed and, instead of being filtered by the liver, are allowed to reach the brain.
This was Yoda's case, all the toxins had built up which in turn made her stare at walls with glazed eyes and chew through all our wires in the room. Vet said we were lucky she did not electrocute herself, the burns to her mouth were small and would heal in time.
The vet didn't really know what to expect until he actually got in to have a look, we were told it was a big operation and not to hold our hopes up. Once again, I gave him a hug and kissed him, telling him that mummy would be coming to to het him as soon as they would let me soon and to be strong, I cried all the way home.
Eventually the next day the vet rang with good and bad news. Yoda was fine and had come through the operation well but instead of one shunt, Yoda surgery was not sucessful he had the one which was on th eoutsie they tried to fix and then he started multi shunting and over 60 small ones, the smaller ones not being operational on.
Because the liver does not develop properly, many dogs cannot tolerate rapid closure of the shunt. Ths was Yoda case he mutli shunted that was bad but was keeping he alive. The vet was surprised she had lasted so long
After several days we were allowed to bring him home, he was givin gthe sad news that he would not live alon glife and that he could die any day from it ...
Suffice to say, Yoda is now on several medications and a special diet for life, we don't know how long we will have with him, so every day is a worry. He again repated all the signs & not eating again so he was rushed back for more surgery they suggested putting him to sleeo that was at 6 months old now remembr is is 3 year sold noe .. Thank God I didn't ;liten to them I siad he doesn't mak eit it's in the lOrd's hands ..He is a blessing every day we wake up he is alive !!!!! Every time she stares at something or is sick, we panic and rush her to the vet. Yoda has a scan& Blood work every 2 months to check on the shunts.
We thank God everyday for that Specilaists, if not for them, Yoda would no tbe here , We cherish every single minute we have with him. Yes...he is a very spoil little puggie boy but deserves to be for what he has to go through. You can see pictures of him.
So, if your dog/cat has any of the above signs get thenm to a vet right away !!!!
Love Yoda & Mamma June FOSTER/PLR
I will be in hospice care at PLR
Please visit Pug Lovers Rescue for Yoda
That's my story and I am sticking to it any suggestions are welcomed or if you knowof any vets who are advance in working with Liver Shunt Diease let us know..
We tried the site from Yorkshire Terriers got no response from them

SFC: Dunboyne surprise 'Tones
18 April 2010
Dunboyne's Ger Robinson
Dunboyne 1-10
Wolfe Tones 1-8
Dunboyne surprised Wolfe Tones in this Meath Farm Machinery SFC Group B opener at Skryne on Saturday evening having played out the final quarter with just 14-men.
Dunboyne - who lost heavily to the 'Tones in a quarter-final fixture last year - held a 1-8 to 1-5 advantage when midfielder Craig Berrigan was red-carded by referee David Coldrick in the 45th minute.
Superior work rate compensated for numerical disadvantage as Robbie Brennan's charges dug out a memorable success.
Wolfe Tones did manage to trim the deficit to the minimum by the 54th minute with points from Niall McLoughlin and Cian Ward.
The latter player didn't enjoy the best of hours but that score from out on the left was a peach of point. McLoughlin's preceeded it from the opposite wing and was equally impressive.
Cathal O'Bric's men passed up a couple of opportunities to regain parity and it was left to Dunboyne' corner-back Stephen McKenna to complete the scoring.
The teams were deadlocked four times in the opening half including at 1-5 each at the break.
Three unanswered points within seven minutes of the resumption earned Dunboyne an advantage they didn't cash in.
Ger Robinson and Stephen Moran (both frees) as well as Conor O'Donoghue registered for Dunboyne at the car-parking end of the ground.
Wolfe Tones struck a trio of wides in the same period and struggled to match Dunboyne's work-rate.
All of the losers' scores came from play with Darren McGrath (1-1) and Ward (0-2) their only players to register more than once.
Points from McGrath and Martin McNally got the 'Tones off to a bright start. By the 11th minute the sides were level thanks to Moran (free) and Gary Watters.
Then McGrath netted in the 12th minute following an exchange of passes with John Tiernan. Within 60 seconds the scores were tied again after Nigel Crawford goaled from a central position.
A brace of Robinson points (one free) had Dunboyne in front for the first time heading into the second quarter.
The 'Tones regained parity twice more before regaining the lead in the 26th minute with Ward's opening score with assitance from Tiernan.
A Moran free levelled matters for the fourth and final time before Dunboyne outscored Wolfe Tones by 0-5 to 0-3 after the change of ends to deservedly claim the points.
Dunboyne - J. O'Connor; S. McKenna (0-1), David Gallagher, G. Watters (0-1); C. Brennan, Denis Gallagher, G. Barry; C. Berrigan, G. Gallagher (0-1); G. Robinson (0-3, 2 fs), S. McGarrell, M. Reilly; S. Moran (0-3, fs), N. Crawford (1-0), C. O'Donoghue (0-1). Sub - D. Clarke for Reilly (50).
Wolfe Tones - S. Power; P. Caffrey, A. McKeown, S. Sheppard (0-1); B. McGinn, N. McLoughlin (0-1), M. Coleman (0-1); E. Harrington (0-1), A. Callaghan; A. Fox, C. Ward (0-2), P. Byrne; J. Tiernan, M. McNally (0-1), D. McGrath (1-1). Sub - G. Beggy for Tiernan (53).
Referee - D. Coldrick (Blackhall Gaels).

Bulgaria's St Anastasia Island Attracted 15 000 in 3 Months
The Black Sea island of Saint Anastasia has been visited by nearly 15 000 tourists since it was first open to visitors on May 15, officials say.
Trips to the venue have been booked for weeks ahead, Focus News Agency quoted Kristina Valcheva, in charge of tourism at the nearby city of Burgas, as saying.
Interest in visiting the place is still on the rise and is likely to be maintained in August despite the recent bad water, which has forced authorities to put off boat trips a few times over the past weeks, Valcheva believes.
St Anastasia is the first Bulgarian island turned into a tourist destination.
Apart from its natural beauty, it also offers archeological and historical sites.
Its guest house has only nine beds, but monastic cells could also be used to spend the night there.
Herbs and fig jams made of products that have grown on the island are also enjoying popularity.
A boat reaching the island is available three times a day and leaves from the pier in the Burgas Sea Garden.
On August 15, St Anastasia will celebrate its festive day as the Church of the Assumption of Mary will mark the Orthodox event with the same name.
The Burgas Municipality has promised that a special program to celebrate the day on St Anastasia is in preparation.

To begin with, I have created a group in Zotero called Newham University Centre. I could, of course, create a separate group for each module I am teaching, but since this is a first-time experiment it seemed simpler to try a generic approach to begin with:
This group will now appear in my folder structure online, in my standalone version, or in my browser extension. From here, I can now drag accross my folders with reading lists - or create my reading lists directly into the group library folders:
To manage the group members, I need to go to the Zotero website. Clicking on the 'Groups' tab, there is an option under the header for 'manage members'. At the bottom of this page is a link to 'Send More Invitations'.
Clicking on this will take me to a page where I can type in or paste the email addresses of the students I want to invite to join. There is an option for sending a personal message as well, which may be a good idea for those who might otherwise be baffled by the whole business:
Clicking 'Invite Members' will send an email inviting the recipients to join the group (if they are already a member) or to register (if they are not). Once they have accepted the invitation then the group libraries will appear at the bottom of their own folder structures in Zotero. From here they can create bibliographies and access any notes, attached files or tags which you have added. Even better, I can now continually update my reading lists as I find new resources.
Creating a dynamic reading list in a VLE
Of course, not all students will want to use Zotero. Some of the wee buggers will always want to be awkward and use somthing else - like paper. So a neat way around this is to use the Zotero RSS option to create dynamic lists in your VLE.
Let me explain:
If I go to Zotero online again, and to my 'Groups' tab, there is an option to access the 'Group Library':
Clicking on this will take me to an online version of my Zotero group folder structure. The key bit on this page is the link at the bottom which has the orange RSS logo, and the option 'Subscribe to this feed':
I need to make sure I have the particular folder I want highlighted, and then I click on the RSS feed button. This takes me to a page which is like a text list of my Zotero entries, and looks like this:
What I really want from this page is the url address (in the address bar). Once I have copied this, I can create my dynamic VLE page. What I want to create now is an RSS widget. There are lots of websites which do this - some of which charge, and others which let you use them for 30 days or so before blocking them and then making you pay. Others though, are gloriously free. I have been using FeedWind, although doubtless there are many others out there:
At this website, I can see a form to start customising my feed. To begin with, I need to paste the url web address from the RSS page above into the 'Feed URL' box at the top of the form. There is a preview of the widget on the right. In the 'General' options, I can click on 'Advanced Options' to adjust the height and style of the widget. A large number for the height - anything from 2000 to 4000 - suits my purposes:
In 'Entry Title' I can expand the number of words the title will display. I tend to set this to around 400 - as some journal titles can be interminably long. In the 'Entry Contents' the key option is for 'html tag'. Selecting 'On' means that my book entries will include all the information about the sources. Without this option, the number of words describing the source will be limited - which might be useful for creating a shorter page, but here I am throwing in the lot:
At the bottom of the page is the code which has been generated by the website. When I have finished customising the widget, I simply select this code and copy it:
Now, its onwards to the VLE. We use Moodle, but I would imagine most work in a similar way as far as this is concerned. I am creating a 'page', in which I can add any content I want. More importantly though, once I have the editing window for the page open I am clicking on the 'html' button, in order to switch into a coding form of entry for the page. This sometimes shows as '< >' rather than 'html':
In the box that comes up, I simply paste the code I have copied from FeedWind:
Click 'Update', then 'save'. The page itself now looks like this:
Handily now, every time I edit, add or delete an entry to my reading lists through Zotero, this page will automatically adjust to include those changes. A dynamic reading list that means I can organise my reading lists through Zotero and have them sync with my students course pages on the VLE.

I love lamp.
Fyi most octane boosters are 1 point each... meaning, 89.0 to 89.1
I understand when 91+ isn't available, but otherwise...
About seven years ago, I accidentally put about 10 gal of 92 in my tank. I'm still haunted by it.
Getting back to the main point, our gas gauges are about the most non-linear ones I've ever seen. OP, fill up your tank, and you won't use so much. :)
Non-linear, yes I concur. Basically u better fill up at half a tank! Lol
Calm down internet gangsters. Thread closed.

Semifinalist DeAndre Brackensick says he's glad he got cut from American Idol last year. He used his time between singers who practice some of the things he learned during his first experience on the show. "I was always used to being behind a standing mic and playing my ukulele," the San Jose, Calif., singer tells the Contra Costa Times. "But I started doing a bunch of shows with a wireless mic and learning to work the stage more. I built my confidence up."
• Heejun Han is hoping to use his time on Idol to break stereotypes about Koreans. "I want to show the world that Asians are not only good for getting high scores on their SATs," he tells the New York Post. "They are also good at singing and entertaining."
• Lots of former Idols are slated to perform on American Idol this year. Among those announced so far: Daughtry, which will perform its new single, Outta My Head, on the show March 15; last year's finalists Lauren Alaina and James Durbin; and Adam Lambert.
• Chase Carey, the chief operating officer for Fox owner News Corp., told an investor conference Tuesday that American Idol needs "freshness and excitement and originality." Last week, Wednesday's Idol episode finished lower than NBC's The Voice on Monday, and Thursday's show was beat head-to-head by Big Bang Theory.

Advocate for Community Documentation
Let's say that the most driven and driving developer on your team, who also happens to be a popular blogger, comes to you and asks why your end-user documentation doesn't allow comments or ratings. Rather than stammering something about Wikipedia's latest scandal, or reaching for imperfect responses that sound like lame excuses, do your homework and learn best practices from others who are implementing social web content that is conversational or based on community goals.

One of the Agile Manifesto's basic balance equations is valuing working software over comprehensive documentation. This line of the Agile manifesto can be confusing to some supporting roles in an Agile development enterprise. As technical support staff, trainers, and content creators, what are we doing to fit into this Agile methodology, and what's working well? Let's explore some old habits that need to die, and some new rituals to fill that space.

Are Structured Authoring and Wiki Opposing Forces?
There are two camps in technical documentation. There's the "quick web" folks who connect easily and author easily, and then there's the "structured quality" camp that requires more thoughtful testing and time spent on task analysis and information architecture.

Can DITA Train Writers? Or Does it Require Too Much Programming?
Because writers have to immediately place the information they want to record into one of these three types of information, they are being trained on how to write in a task-oriented, performance-based manner, via DITA. I am especially interested in this "training" for wiki authors and talked about the idea at our recent presentation.

Consumer users have been reaping the benefits of the utility model in cloud computing for years — at the application as a service level. It is developers and IT who are using cloud computing in a transformative way now. IaaS and PaaS allows them to develop, test, deploy and run apps that can scale on enterprise grade technology, all without having to pay the capital expense for the underlying infrastructure. This is creating a new cloud economy and truly represents the democratization of computing.

Collaborative Authoring: Tools and Costs
I've been working on some collaborative authoring scenarios for our Agile teams – we're going from 5 people to 47 people in total who could author external or internal documentation within our two week sprints. Turns out, we likely represent some trends in the enterprise.

Comparing RSS Feeds to Social Networks
Jakob Nielson and his research group, Nielsen Norman Group, have done it again – letting us know how users are actively perceiving and using social software for different business tasks. This research is important as the social web evolves so that we, as web content creators, know the best ways to present and offer different types of information, especially for corporate sites.

Consistency and Community-Generated Content
I've been collecting examples of wildly inconsistent writing lately. I'm not sure why these have stuck out to me, but when I think of book sprints and community writing events, consistency is an important, though sometimes difficult, goal and outcome.
Gentle, Anne and Janet Swisher. Just Write Click (2009). Articles>Documentation>Style Guides>Wikis
A Content Curator is someone who continually finds, groups, organizes and shares the best and most relevant content on a specific issue online. I think that professional writers and technical writers should consider a move towards this role. We already search for and find the best content, sift through loads of content, discard poor content, and publish the most worthy content whenever a software release goes out. This description also sounds like something a content strategist would do as part of their analysis of the content.

Corporate Collaborative Authoring
The idea of a Book Sprint is that you can get lots of documentation written in a focused amount of time with the right team and some amount of content already in place. Gathering people in the same room when possible is extremely helpful and motivating as well.

Documenting Open Source Software
I love reading different community perceptions of both FLOSS Manuals, where we write open docs for open software. I'm also lurking on mailing lists and forums where open source projects are figuring out documentation needs for their users. Forgive me if I ramble a bit, but I've been thinking about these concepts lately while discussing them with other writers.

Email Feedback Mechanisms for Online Help
Email has become a universal conversation mechanism for business to business notification, customer to business communication, you name it. If you're not doing so already, you can add email links so that readers can send emailed feedback to your technical documentation team. With advanced mailto markup you can automatically enter a subject line, indicate who the email will go to, as well as enter courtesy copies and blind courtesy copies to additional people. Your inbox should not be overwhelmed with feedback emails, but a link should give customers the feeling that their comments are collected and concerns addressed. This is conversational documentation at its simplest.

Hugh's great great grandfather, Walter de Lacy, had attended William the Conqueror in the invasion of England almost 120 years before. Walter's grandson, also Hugh, invaded Wales in the early years of Henry I's reign. The de Lacy's, therefore, are a prime example of a family for whom the art of war is the only legitmate pursuit of profit for anyone with noble ambitions. This was the knub of the chivalric code that emerged in the French heartland between the Somme and the Meuse from 900 onwards. It was not enough to live well. Any successful merchant or money lender might do that. One had to live nobly and one thing on which all the chroniclers are agreed is that the noble caste of knights knew how to fight.
Hugh de Lacy, however, incurred the King's wrath for in 1181 he married the King of Connacht's daughter, without Henry II's consent, and was stripped of the governorship of Dublin. Four years later, he was murdered by one, Malvo Miadaca, "a mean person", in revenge for the severity with which he treated the workman who had built his castle in Meath.
Hugh was succeeded by two sons, the eldest Walter, and Hugh. Hugh was constituted Constable of Ireland and obtained the Earldom of Ulster from King John for betraying John de Courcy, the ancestor of the present Baron Kingsale. But Hugh himself fell foul of that insacible King and was banished from the country. Walter obtained a grant of Meath and its Manors from King John.
Walter married Margaret, daughter of William de Braose, Lord of "the Kingdom of Limerick" in the reign of Henry II, 1307--1327. William had also inherited great tracts of land from his grandmother, the daughter of the Earl of Hereford. In 1209, King John sought hostages from his nobility, England having been placed under Papal interdict and the King fearing that Pope Innocent III might release the Barons of their oaths of loyality to the Crown. When John's commissioners arrived, Lady Maud peremptorily told them that she would not entrust any of her sons to a King who had murdered his own nephew, Prince Arthur of Britanny. Wereupon, the Braoses fled to Ireland. Another story has it that John punished de Braose for his cruelty in killing 3,000 Welsh. Matthew of Westminister relates another story:
The noblelady Maud, wife of William de Braose, with William, their son and heir, were miserably famished at Windsor, by the command of King John; and William, her husband, escaping from Scorham, put himself into the habit of a beggar, and privately getting beyond sea, died soon after at Paris.
Maud and William are said to have starved to death by the King at Windsor. Walter's brother, Gilbert de Lacy, succeded him in the great Irish seitgnory.

1. GILBERT de Lacy of Ewyas Lacy, Herefordshire (-[12 Aug/25 Dec] 1230, bur Lanton, Wales). The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire records that "Gilbertus de Lacy" had a son "Hugonem" who had "filium Walterum", who in turn had "filium Gilbertum de Lacy"[888]. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names "Gilbertus de Lacy" as son of "Walterus de Lacy" and his wife[889]. An undated charter of Henry III King of England confirmed a donation by "Walterus de Lacy" to the Hospital of Ludlow, Shropshire, for the souls of "Margeriæ uxoris meæ…Gilberti de Lacy filii mei"[890]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death in 1230 of "Gilebertus de Lacy filius et hæres Walteri de Lacy" and his burial "apud Lantone in Wallia"[891]. The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1230 of "Gilbertus de Lacy"[892]. m as her first husband, ISABEL, daughter of [HUGH Bigod Earl of Norfolk & his wife Maud Marshal of Pembroke] ([after 1207]-). The sources which report the parentage of the wife of Gilbert de Lacy are conflicting. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that "Gilbertus de Lacy" married "Isabellæ Mareschal"[893], presumably confusing her with Isabel daughter of William Marshal Earl of Pembroke who married firstly Gilbert de Clare Earl of Gloucester and Hereford and secondly Richard Earl of Cornwall. The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Isabella soror Johannis" as daughter of "Rogerus sive Radulphus Bigod, secundus filius Hugonis le Bigod com. Norfolke et Suffolke…" and his wife "Bertam de Fornivale", adding that she married firstly "Gilberto de Lacy" and secondly "Johanni Fitz-Geffrey"[894]. This must also be incorrect, as any children of Ralph Bigod could not have been born before the late 1220s at the earliest, which is inconsistent with the timing of Isabel´s first marriage. If Isabel was a member of the Bigod family, she must have been the daughter of Hugh and Maud Marshal of Pembroke. This is the solution adopted by the Complete Peerage[895], although the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. She married secondly Sir John FitzGeoffrey. Gilbert & his wife had three children:
a) WALTER de Lacy (-[15 May 1238/1241]). The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Walterus de Lacy" as the son "Gilberto de Lacy" and his wife, adding that he died young[896]. His paternal grandfather recognised Walter as his heir 15 May 1238[897].
b) MARGERY de Lacy (-before 1256). The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Margeria et Matilda" as the daughters and co-heiresses of "Gilberto de Lacy" and his wife, adding that Margery married "Johanni de Verdon" (and lists three generations of their descendants)[898]. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names "Margeria, uxor Johannis de Verdon" as daughter and heiress of "Gilbertus de Lacy", son of "Walterus de Lacy", and also lists their descendants[899]. A charter dated 14 May 1244 restored to "John de Verdun and Margaret his wife, granddaughter and one of the heirs of Walter de Lascy, and to Peter de Geneve and Matilda his wife, granddaughter and another of Walter´s heirs, all the lands in Meath whereof Walter was seised at his death"[900]. m (before 14 May 1244) as his first wife, JOHN de Verdun, son of THEOBALD Butler [Le Botiller] & his second wife Rohese de Verdun of Alton, Staffordshire ([1226]-before 17 Oct 1274).
c) MATILDA de Lacy (-11 Apr 1304). The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Margeria et Matilda" as the daughters and co-heiresses of "Gilberto de Lacy" and his wife, adding that Matilda married "Gaufrido de Genyvile" (and naming her son and grandchildren)[901]. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names "Matildis" as second daughter and heiress of "Gilbertus de Lacy", son of "Walterus de Lacy", adding that she married "Galfridi de Geneville", and also lists their descendants[902]. A charter dated 19 Feb 1244 relates to the inheritance of "W. de Lacy in…comitatu [Hereford]" by "Matillidi uxori Petri de Geneva, neptem et unicam heredem predicti Waltheri" and "sorori ipsius Matillidis"[903]. A charter dated 14 May 1244 restored to "John de Verdun and Margaret his wife, granddaughter and one of the heirs of Walter de Lascy, and to Peter de Geneve and Matilda his wife, granddaughter and another of Walter´s heirs, all the lands in Meath whereof Walter was seised at his death"[904]. Her first marriage is confirmed by Matthew of Paris who names "Matildam elegantem filiam Walteri de Lasey in Hybernia" as wife of "Petrus de Geneure natione Provincialis…" when recording her husband's death in 1249[905]. Henry III King of England granted "Geoffroy de Joinville et Mahaut de Lacy sa femme" rights in the land of Meath held by "Gautier de Lacy, grand-père de Mahaut" by charter dated 8 Aug 1252[906]. "Gaufridus de Genvyle dominus de Vaucolour miles et Matildis de Lacy filia Gileberti Lacy uxor eius" donated property to Dore Abbey by undated charter, witnessed by "Johanne de Vaucolour milite…"[907]. m firstly (before 19 Feb 1244) PIERRE de Genève, son of HUMBERT Comte de Genève & his wife --- (-1249). m secondly (1252 before 8 Aug) GEOFFROY de Joinville Seigneur de Vaucouleurs, son of SIMON Seigneur de Joinville & his second wife Beatrix d'Auxonne [Bourgogne-Comté] (-Trim 21 Oct 1314).

Christmas Day, 1942. The outcome of World War II was undecided, but the pope had something new to say.
A month before, the tide at Stalingrad had turned against the Germans. Just two days before, General Erich von Manstein had abandoned his efforts to relieve the Wehrmacht's doomed Sixth Army. But there was no telling that the extraordinary German strength in the war so far would now ebb quickly.
The Americans had formally entered the war a year before, but the Allies would not reach mainland Italy for another nine months, or make it to Rome for a year and a half. The pope—Eugenio Pacelli, or Pius XII—was in dire straits. His relationship with Benito Mussolini had long since soured, and he was a prisoner in his own tiny Roman domain.
As for the Jews, the worst victims of the conflict, millions were dead already; the victims at Babi Yar had lain in their ravine for more than a year; Treblinka, the most infernal death camp, had come on line six months before and already completed much of its grim work.
Officially, of course, the Catholic Church and its leader were neutral, and didn't play politics. Many of his flock were to be found on both sides of the war.

Australia Day, for those of you who are unclear, falls on January 26 next year, a day on which Australians traditionally gather to celebrate the towering musicality of Julie Anthony, AM, OBE, and burn sausages. CFA willing. Brace yourselves, but Victoria's Australia Day Committee wants more. Indeed, committee chairman Tony Beddison, AO, wants us "to march together . . . in a public show of national pride and patriotism". Australia Day would thus appear to have fallen foul of the temper of the times. A highlight of Melbourne's celebrations will be the presence of the largest national flag ever flown anywhere in the world. It will be suspended from a helicopter, but smaller flags will also be welcome. Says Mr Beddison: "We're looking for an Australian flag to be flying on every flagpole in Australia, and in the coming weeks we will be announcing a new initiative designed to put the national flag in every set of hands across the state." This presumably is what the committee has in mind when it notes that "Australia Day is a time to be proud in our unique, relaxed, humble Australian way". Being relaxed and humble at yesterday's launch of the 2004 program by Premier Steve Bracks were a gaggle of the state's Australia Day ambassadors, a group that will bustle about in the coming months promoting the event, and on the day will be available to address public gatherings and hand out . . . well, whatever it is that Australia Day ambassadors might hand out on Australia Day. Flags and tins of bully beef presumably, or busts of Julie Anthony, AM, OBE.
The ambassadors go forth
Steve Bracks and ambassador Phillip Brady traded hair-care tips, ambassador John Blackman was glad of the engagement. Everywhere you looked there was a little piece of fading glory. If you wanted to be an ambassador, it seemed to be something of a statistical advantage if you were involved at 3AW in some capacity. Thus we had ambassadors Brady, Ernie Sigley, Neil Mitchell, Jane Edmanson and Bruce Mansfield. It was also a big plus if you were white, male and middle-aged. Of the 91 ambassadors, 17 are women, though that is a group that includes TV personality Suzie Wilks, who should probably be counted twice. Of course, none of the ambassadors is Aboriginal, with the possible exception of ambassador-captain Peter Janson, whose parentage remains obscure. It was thus a bold Premier who commenced his observances at yesterday's Federation Square function with respectful reference to the traditional owners of the land, a group understood by most present, one imagines, to be the Gas and Fuel Corporation. It was the Premier's happy lot to pose with each ambassador in turn, having handed over small commemorative plaques. Thus have they now been set among us. You have been warned.
A carefree change of heart
Always first with the second is Channel 7, which next year presents its take on Australian Idol, a show called Popstars Live, with John Paul Young cast in the Mark Holden role. This will strike anyone with a memory spanning more than a month as odd, for was it not JPY who expressed a very firm and negative opinion on the whole Idol concept when interviewed by Bert Newton on November 3? "I just think it's a scandalous set-up," he said. "I don't have much of an opinion of it at all." And the judges? "I said (to Mark Holden), do you get your pay docked if you don't give them enough insults? He said: `I don't care anymore'." And neither, it would seem, does JPY, now rescued from your local Tatts Pokie venue and no doubt grateful.

Gloriously laden dining tables, generous bowls of fruit, celebretory feasts, and intimately shared meals are favorite subjects of both painters and art lovers. Now, as great food inspires great art, great art has inspired great food. In THE ARTIST'S TABLE (November; $28.00; clothbound) fourteen contemporary master chefs pay culinary tribute to twelve masterpieces in Washington, D.C.'s National Gallery of Art.
Julia Child imagines the couple in Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's Partie de campagne are on their way to meet friends for a country picnic, and she fills their basket with delicacies like Cold Roast Pheasant with Parma Ham and Fresh Figs, Celery Remoulade, and Chocolate Lace Wafers. Chicago's Rick Bayless creates a menu as "homey and elemental" as Walt Kuhn's Pumpkins, including Jicama Salad with Tangerines, Eggs with Mexican Sausage, and Prickly Pear Ice. For dessert, Nancy Silverton of Los Angeles' Campanile, offers Animal Cookies, Devil's Food Cake, and a classic Ice Cream Sundae as sweet and dreamy as Wayne Thiebaud's Cakes.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how to fill a need in our company, and I'm having trouble finding the perfect solution. The problem is that we need someone with a specific piece of knowledge, and it's not something that's quick and easy to train someone how to do.
When we book flights, we do it through one of the so-called Global Distribution Systems. These first popped up decades ago, and they really haven't evolved much since then, when it comes to user interface. It's a text-based, command-driven system that we use, and it's very difficult to learn all the ins and outs from scratch. I started teaching our intern how to use the system this week, and you could just see his eyes bulging, preparing to pop out of his head. And we were just working on building one simple reservation.
I first learned the system when I was a travel agent back in my middle/high school days. (Yes, I'm a dork, I know.) Once you know it, it's amazing how fast you can do things. But the learning curve is steep, and eventually these text-based systems will be put out to pasture. It doesn't make sense for us to invest in a major training course for many different reasons. Not only would it be costly, but I've found that the best training is on the job, not in the classroom. I just don't have the time or patience for that.
That means that we need to look for people who already have experience. There are plenty of reservations and gate agents from days gone by who would probably be interested in dusting off their mad computer skills, but it's not always easy to find those people. I imagine it would be easiest in places with recently-shuttered reservations offices or downsized airport operations, but here in Southern California, we don't really have those. The reservations offices here were shuttered years ago thanks to the high cost of living.
Why not just look elsewhere outside of SoCal? Sure, this work could be done remotely, but I'm not a fan of that for this particular purpose. This is a person that will be able to book reservations, charge credit cards, change existing tickets, and so on. For security and privacy reasons, I'd rather have someone local. It makes it easier to build a good relationship and control what happens to the data.
So it becomes a search for a needle in a haystack. That's never easy.

The 6-foot-3, 260-pound Daniel, rated the No. 9 defensive end in the country by Scout.com, chose the Rebels over, among others, Florida, Mississippi State and Arizona State.
Ole Miss closed the season with a rout of Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., earlier this month.
He visited Arizona State over the weekend.
"Well, I made my final decision on the flight back from Arizona State tonight," he said. "I talked to my coach here, and we both agreed that Ole Miss was the place for me. Arizona State came in second."
The commitment of Daniel comes on the heels of the Rebels picking up verbals from five-star wide receiver Laquon Treadwell of Crete, Ill., and three-star linebacker Marcus Robinson of Memphis, Tenn.
"I picked Ole Miss because I have a good relationship with the coaches," Daniel said. "I really liked the school, the coaches and the players. It felt like home to me."
Daniel visited Ole Miss officially in November, attending the annual Egg Bowl rivalry game between the Rebels and Mississippi State. Ole Miss snapped a three-game losing streak to the Bulldogs with a 41-24 win to earn its first bowl appearance since 2009.
"My experience was really, really great," he said of the visit. "I've never seen anything like it. It was good."
Daniel, a former Clemson commit, fills a need for Ole Miss. He de-committed from the Tigers in November.
The Rebels lost senior defensive ends E.J. Epperson and Jason Jones following the 2012-13 season, a season in which they finished 7-6 overall in the debut year of head coach Hugh Freeze.
Elijah Daniel
"I'm extremely excited to get this decision made, and I can't wait to get to Ole Miss," he said.
Ole Miss ranked in the top half of the conference in sacks in 2012, totaling 38. The Rebels were also among the nation's leaders in tackles for loss. Rising junior C.J. Johnson led the team with 6.5 sacks.
Daniel finished his senior season at Avon High School in Avon, Ind., with well over 20 tackles for loss.
"I bring a lot of energy and passion," he said. "I have good play-making ability."
"He's an explosive defensive lineman coming off the ball, especially coming out of a three-point stance," Avon coach Mark Bless said. "He has great take-off. I think he can be an immediate help with his size, strength and speed. I expect him to come in and help Ole Miss as a freshman."
Daniel, an Under Armour All-American, is one of a handful of top defensive ends Ole Miss is pursuing.
The Rebels are considered by most as the favorite for five-star Robert Nkemdiche, the top prospect in the country, and brother of Ole Miss linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche. They're also in the mix for four-star Jason Carr.
But Daniel is highly-regarded in his own right. He believes his speed his best attribute.
"He's taken a lot of good visits," Bless said. "I just think that Tom Allen, being from the Indianapolis area, had a lot to do with it. He's always wanted to play in the SEC, and I just think he was really comfortable with Coach Freeze and Coach Allen."
Daniel held an impressive list of offers. Other offers included Georgia, Florida State, Miami (Fla.) and Tennessee. But in Ole Miss, Daniel saw an opportunity for immediate playing time.
Daniel was named Avon defensive MVP and first team All-State by both the Associated Press and the AHSA.
"I think I can come in and make a good impact," he said. "They said I fit into their system real good. I'm fast and move around pretty good, so they think I'm the perfect fit."
Ole Miss closed the season with a rout of Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., earlier this month.

I'm sellin the Runco because I moved, don't have room for it anymore. The best room I have for it is so short I can only get 73" out of it unless I buy a nice wide angle lens, which I just don't feel like doing. It's bright as hell at 73" though, haha.
I will talk to you about C4 sometime if you want. I've been through the ups and downs with it for several years now, and I really love the product now.
Anyways, I can't disagree about Nuvo. Their corporate headquarters are literally 3 minutes from my house, so I know the people there very well. I just think it's pretty limited for what it can do, given that products like C4 are getting to be so inexpensive for what they can do.
But yeah, Crestron and AMX are going to be out of my league for a long time too, haha.

A mix is an opportunity to create something new out of things created before it.It is a way to find new meanings and feelings in music. A mix is equally a tribute to many artists and their creations and a parasite, sucking out their beauty and claiming it as its own.
I am both an artist and a mixer. I create my own music and mix music created by others.While being aware of the duality I described, I strongly believe my mixes are more a tribute, than parasites.
You won't find easy track-after-track listens here. You won't find entertainment and pleasant feelings. You will however find these mixes to be like movies, where many tracks from many wonderful artists are the actors and the moment they are put together, a story emerges.

Vertis' Creditors Object to Auction and Loan Terms
BALTIMORE—A number of Vertis Holdings' unsecured creditors are balking at the auction and financing proposals, which they feel do not include enough protections for them as the printer proceeds through Chapter 11 a third time, NASDAQ reported.
A committee that represents Vertis' unsecured creditors have asked a bankruptcy judge to slow down the sale of the company's print advertising and direct mail marketing business. They say it is being run for the sole benefit of senior lenders, which includes General Electric Capital. The lenders support a $159 million debtor-in-possession financing package. The unsecured creditors' committee feels the package will only ensure that the lenders get paid, but that it does not cover the Chapter 11 costs or debts owed to the printers' other creditors, according to NASDAQ.
Vertis also filed Chapter 11 in 2008 and 2010. Quad/Graphics has made a $285.5 million offer for the troubled company, subject to higher bids at an auction Vertis is seeking before year's end. The unsecured creditors' committee believes the proposed auction rules fall short of a "fair, flexible and robust sale process," NASDAQ said.
The committee is seeking allowances for Vertis to adjorn the auction date without Quad's consent and consider bids for portions of the company's assets as opposed to all of them. It also wants to consult with Vertis during the sales process, including soliciting rival bids and choosing the winning bid.

Today's topic is looking at common, interesting words found in the Japanese Bible. As you may know from reading in English, the Bible is full of interesting and, well, sometimes strange words. The same is true in Japanese. The good news is most of these words are very useful in everyday life. (maybe)
1. 奇跡 kiseki - miracle
2. 祝福 shuku fuku - a blessing, being blessed
3. 永遠 eien - forever, eternity
4. 幻 maboroshi - a vision
5. 告白 koku haku - confess; a confession
1) 奇跡 kiseki - miracle
watashi no nihongo nouryoku wa kiseki teki desu.
My Japanese ability is miraculous! (lit. As for my Japanese's ability, it is miraculous!) (let's be modest here)
NOTE: If you want to make this a compliment regarding someone's English, simply change 私 watashi (I) to あなた anata (you) and 日本語 nihongo (Japanese) to 英語 eigo (English)
2) 祝福 shuku fuku - a blessing, being blessed
gojira wa kiti-chan kara shukufuku no kisu wo saremashita.
Godzilla was blessed by a kiss from Hello Kitty.

Icahn's Beef with Navistar
Navistar is in the news. Again. Still.
This time one of its key investors — Carl Icahn, who controls 15 percent of the company — is enraged that the company has made all manner of major decisions lately without consulting shareholders. The big technology switch and the hiring of new CEO Lewis Campbell to replace Dan Ustian are among his major beefs, and in a letter to Navistar board members he had particularly nasty things to say about Campbell's track record. He said that the board has been "asleep at the switch" for the last three years.
"At Navistar, where four shareholders hold almost 60 percent of the stock, it would be a simple matter for this board to bring substantial holders together to discuss and reach a consensus regarding important decisions concerning the company that WE own," Icahn wrote [his caps]. "It is therefore outrageous that you have not reached out to obtain our opinion (and I assume you have not obtained the opinions of the other large holders) on issues such as choosing a new management team to lead this company."
Icahn urges that "at least four directors" designated by shareholders be added to the board immediately.
The company's response was a terse, two-paragraph statement that ended this way:
"Navistar maintains an ongoing dialogue with its shareholders, and appreciates their input and views... Rest assured, the Board and management have a clear path forward and are focused on executing on their plan and delivering value to shareholders."
No surprise is yesterday's news that the company will soon kill its Workhorse division, before year's end.
Who knows what the next few weeks will offer, but as I said last time out, we're looking more and more like seeing a clean slate at Navistar in all sorts of ways. Speculation is rampant, of course, about the future of International engines, and nothing would surprise me at this point. I'm guessing that some Navistar decisions will have shock value. I'm also guessing that the company will survive all of this and get back to just making good trucks — they've never been the problem — before long at all.
One particular name is being bandied about as the guy to lead them out of today's hole, a person I know pretty well. I don't think he'd take the job, but whoever does must be radically pragmatic. Like he is.
We'll see.

I'm thinking that maybe a few pages fell out of my 2012 year-end review in Sunday's The Mix. In all of the arts items, I saw nothing at all about the visual arts. What the heck is up with that?
Two of Utah's most important visual arts institutions have been in the news in the past year. Adam Price, the lively and innovative director of the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, departed. (Apparently, a few board members and some staff left with him. Not that that's been, or will be, reported, of course.)
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts made considerable progress in 2012, bringing us strong exhibitions, which, in the visual arts arena, more than rival many of the music and theater presentations that Sunday's Tribune did remind us of.
The visual arts have long struggled for notice in The Trib, where most of the time there's no competent critic assigned to that beat. Perhaps the newspaper's 2013 arts "Year in Review" will boast of a good writer consistently thinking and writing about the strong, active visual arts scene in Salt Lake City and in Utah. Now, that would be worth reporting.

A chiefly send-off
Citizen Staff Reports 09/27/12
Henrico Fire Chief Edwin Smith retired Sept. 14 and received a surprise send-off from Henrico firefighters and county officials on his last day. Smith was greeted in the parking lot of the county's Public Safety building by several fire trucks, a ladder truck with an American flag flying and numerous members of the division, which he led for the past five years.
Smith spent 38 years with the division, beginning in May 1974 as a firefighter. He served in every suppression position as a firefighter and officer and advanced to serve as an inspector, investigator and later commander of the Fire Prevention section. A promotion to battalion chief and later chief of training for the division preceded his appointment to chief Aug. 18, 2007.
Smith is an active member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, International Association of Black Professional Fire Fighters, Virginia Fire Chiefs Association and Central Virginia Fire and Arson Association. In 2010, he was appointed by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to the Virginia Fire Services Board.

Transparency International released a report this week highlighting waste and corruption in the security sectors of 19 governments in the Middle East and North Africa. Every country surveyed was assessed to have a high risk of sector-specific corruption, with Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Yemen seen as particularly "critical." In these countries, Transparency found there to be almost no accountability in the defense and security establishments of each state.
In contrast, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, and the UAE scored highest. Read a full copy of the report here.

FOUR motorbikes have been stolen in a week in a spate of what has been called 'opportunistic' thefts.
Forensic tests are being carried out after police recovered one of the bikes, but motorcyclists are being advised to be careful about where they park and make sure leave their vehicles properly secured.
Police inspector Paul Wycherley said: "In the last seven days we have had four motorbikes stolen in the Wrexham area.
"One has been recovered and forensic tests are being carried out.
"All of the bikes that have been stolen were parked either on the street or in front of homes.
"I would advise people to park at the back of their house and secure their bike to something with a good quality lock.
"These are opportunist thefts, they were not particularly sophisticated."
The inspector said North Wales Police PCSOs have been going door to door with leaflets informing people how they can keep their motorbikes safe.
Last Monday a Giantco motorcycle was taken from Connor Crescent but was later recovered in Pont Wen.
And the following night, a Suzuki 600 motorcycle was stolen from Wynnstay Avenue sometime between 7.30pm and 10.30pm.
On the same night, a scooter was taken from Fairmount Road between 5pm and 1am.
An appeal for information has been issued, with people asked to call North Wales Police on 101, quoting reference RC14099358 about the Giantco, R100500 regarding the Suzuki or R100562 regarding the scooter theft.

Lauren's Masala Chai Concentrate
Recipe by laurenlikesfood
I've spent so much money buying cartons of liquid chai concentrate and have tried many times to make it myself. Well, today I researched ruthlessly and this (which I made up on my own) is the concentrate I've been waiting for! Keep in mind everybody has a different masala chai preference and you should adjust it to your liking - I like a little spice, not too sweet, and an overall balance of flavors. Enjoy!

I tried this recipe and it was my first attempt at making my own chai concentrate. I loved it! I like my chai as spicy as possible and this was pretty spicy! I live in a small town so the grocery store has limited selection of spices, but I used ground ginger (instead of fresh/dried ginger) and anise seeds (instead of star anise). One thing I would recommend before you start making this to make sure you have a strainer that catches fine particles! I didn't have anything be a tea ball with a spring that made it snap shut, so I had to hold it open. It hurt my hand and was very tedious! But I still enjoy the chai very much!
Thanks Lauren!

Ingredients Nutrition
- 7 cups water
- 2 tablespoons cut dried ginger (chunks, available at health food stores in the bulk spice department) or 1 inch fresh ginger
- 10 -15 whole cloves
- 1⁄4 star anise pods
- 3 inches cinnamon sticks
- 1⁄2 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1⁄2 tablespoon cardamom seed
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- milk
Directions See How It's Made
- special note about spices (If you have a bulk foods or Whole Foods or Vitamin Cottage kind of grocer nearby, get the spices from the bulk section. They often cost 25% what you'd pay for a jar! My total ingredients expense was around $1.50, not including the milk!).
- In a medium-large saucepan, bring about 7 cups water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, add the 6 spices (do not add the tea yet).
- Once the water/spice mixture is boiling, add the tea.
- Boil 5 minutes, then remove from heat. (I know you're never supposed to boil tea, but I found this works just fine. If you don't want to boil the tea, just boil the spices for 5 minutes and steep slightly longer.).
- Stir in the brown sugar (or honey) and vanilla.
- Steep for 8 minutes, then strain into a glass container.
- While you wait for it to cool, pour a mug 2/3 full with your chai and add hot milk to the top. (If it isn't spicy or sweet enough, you can still add more spices to steep - just strain the mixture again before storing.) OR for a real treat, use hot evaporated milk (I wouldn't want this every day, because its a little sweeter and creamier than regular milk.).
- Store in the refrigerator for 7 days (maybe longer, but all chai concentrate containers claim 7 days is best). Note: Normally you'd use 1:1 ratio of chai:milk, but I brew it a little weaker and save $ on milk since I drink so much chai.
