The hurricane threat has forced one more change to Republican convention week.
Vice President Biden won't be going to Tampa, after all.
President Obama's campaign has announced that Biden's planned trip to the door step of the GOP convention -- once planned for Monday -- has been postponed "due to disaster preparedness and local security concerns."
Biden is still scheduled to visit other Florida cities -- Orlando and St. Augustine -- on Tuesday, as the Republicans meet in Tampa to nominate Mitt Romney for the presidency.
From the Obama campaign:
This change in schedule is being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused on ensuring the safety of people who might be impacted by the storm, as well as those attending the activities in Tampa.
Additional details and media logistics for the Vice President's stops in Orlando and St. Augustine, Florida on August 28 are forthcoming and subject to change due to weather-related precautions.
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

A Story of Wartime Liberation Told Through Photographs
On August 25, 1944, Paris was liberated by the French 2nd Armored Division and the American 4th Infantry Division. That day, after confrontations with the French and American forces, the German military leader Dietrich von Choltitz surrendered the city which had been under German occupation for four years. Two and a half years later, while France and the Allies continued to battle the Nazis, the Musée Carnavalet (itself founded in 1880) held an exhibit on the Liberation that had just occurred.
This was made possible thanks to the museum's curator, François Boucher, who had requested as many documents as he could from the press and other institutions in order to paint the complete picture of how the days of the Liberation unfolded. Boucher's precipitous exhibit concentrated more on emotions than on facts, and this seemed to be exactly what the Parisian public needed as the exhibition encountered tremendous success.
Now, 70 years later, the Musée Carnavalet revisits Boucher's exhibit, taking the precious images that were collected and adding context to them with videos, interviews and texts that allow for a more contemplative viewing. Photographers such as Robert Doisneau and Jean Séeberger will be represented at this latest exhibit, will run from June 11, 2014 until February 8, 2015.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Six Nations House is a home rich in history and culture. The home is architecturally designed to offer all the modern conveniences and comforts but keeps the charm of the old world setting that Niagara-on-the-Lake so richly emulates.
The exterior is made of very modern materials that will stand the test of time, but the Georgian style of the build is reflective of the era when the town was rebuilt after 1812. The era was a simple one and the efficient, solid look was all the rage. The Georgian style is known for the white siding and black shutters, central door (red of course!), two storey and lots of windows. Doors and windows are trimmed with frame work that you can see often in and around town on the historic homes.
Six Nations is very much in keeping with the old town neighborhood, the home itself offers such warmth, comfort and style, and it is hard to know where to start! As you enter the front door the first thing you will notice is the wide staircase that leads upstairs to 3 large bedrooms. The main floor has gleaming hardwood floor.
To the left of the staircase is the open concept dining room and kitchen. The rectangular dining table is large enough to easily accommodate 8, with solid wood chairs designed for comfort. Open to the kitchen, this allows for everyone to join the cook in chatting and preparing meals! The spacious kitchen is equipped with a generous two door fridge and freezer, stove, microwave, kettle, coffee machine, pots, pans, dishes, glasses, wine glasses, utensils and so much more!
Unique to this home is the easy access to the covered back patio with the bbq/grill, perfect for preparing those outdoor meals in the summer, but so convenient for using the bbq/grill in the winter!
The living area is to the right of the stairs on the main floor. A big comfy couch and cozy chairs in front of the wood burning fireplace. The room is filled with natural light during the day and in the evening is perfect for cozying up and spending time with your favorite people. Adjacent to the living area and kitchen is a powder room.
This home has an amazing stereo system with speakers in every room! You can control the volume in each room separately, so bring your classical, jazz or Christmas carols for all to enjoy!
This home offers easy access for anyone with mobility issues. On the main floor is the master bedroom with en suite (tub/shower), large closet, flat screen TV and a luxurious King bed. Upstairs are 3 very large bedrooms with en suites (tub/shower). Up here is a king and 2 bedrooms have queen beds.
Off the upper foyer is a walk out covered veranda, which you can enjoy with a glass of wine or reading bed time stories to the children underneath the stars.
The decor is very inviting and also has a proud display of artifacts and history that you can touch, read about and enjoy! In Six Nations House you will find a curated selection of books that will increase your knowledge and appreciation of Six Nations and Native contributions in the War of 1812 and their impact in shaping Canada's borders and national character. Also included is a selection of Smithsonian books showcasing Native arts and history that Tim has either edited, conceptualized, or strategically initiated. These include Spirit Capture: Photographs From The National Museum of the American Indian, American Indians / American Presidents, Native Universe: Voices of Indian America, and Infinity of Nations: Art and History in the Collections of the National Museum of the American Indian, to name a few. Additionally, he co-created the museum's membership magazine, American Indian, copies of which are also included in Six Nations House.
Please also acknowledge and respect the purple and white flag you see flying next to the British Union Jack on the front of Six Nations House. It is the national flag of the Haudenosaunee. Together, these two flags represent the strategic alliance that once held strong between Six Nations and England, without which Canada would have looked very different today.

Your proprietors are Tim and Lisa Johnson from Six Nations of the Grand River.
For more than twenty years Lisa (Oneida) has managed The Bear's Inn at Six Nations of the Grand River. Designed to accurately reflect the community's storied history and culture, The Bear's Inn has welcomed and facilitated thousands of guests and dozens of organizations that have done good works benefiting the community — ranging from health and education advancement to language preservation, support of the arts, and economic development. Because Haudenosaunee (Six Nations or Iroquois) society is matrilineal — meaning families follow the mother's heritage — Six Nations House is an Oneida Nation Bear Clan household.
Tim (Mohawk) is a direct descendant of the historic Mohawk leader Joseph Brant. In addition, his great uncle Emerson Hill was among the first Haudenosaunee Chiefs to travel internationally on an Iroquois Passport. During his time spent as associate director for Museum Programs at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, Tim has managed the production of world-class and critically acclaimed exhibitions, award-winning publications and media, exceptional educational products designed for homes and classrooms across North America, and exhilarating cultural programs.
In Six Nations House you will find a curated selection of books that will increase your knowledge and appreciation of Six Nations and Native ally contributions in the War of 1812 and their impact in shaping Canada's borders and national character. Also included is a selection of Smithsonian books showcasing Native arts and history that Tim has either edited, conceptualized, or strategically initiated.
Famous Native leaders such as Joseph Brant, John Norton, and John Brant walked these hallowed grounds while they forged and maintained diplomatic relations with Sir William Johnson, John Butler, Sir Isaac Brock, and other historic figures who collectively shaped and defined the borders and character of a new nation.
Six Nations House is a new custom home, architecturally designed to exhibit the charm and character of yester year. Enjoy the benefits of modern technology in the refined comfort of a premium vacation rental that is ideally suited for family getaways and small group retreats. Two hundred years after the War of 1812 Six Nations House opens to respectfully recognize Six Nations and Native ally contributions to the development of Canada, renew an old alliance, and make history once again.
Location! Location! Location! Park your car and go explore! Shop to you drop, then take your parcels back to your home-away from home and go out for more! Six Nations House is just two short streets from Queen Street with all the shops, restaurants and live theatre! Not a shopper, well then come see our museums, parks, golf course or hiking trails that are all within an easy stroll of your vacation home.
Six Nations offers ample private parking, but you won't use your car much! Each bedroom is very spacious with lots and lots of closet space and each has an en suite bathroom. The main patio area is located right off the kitchen so it is very easy for the cook and chief bottle washer to keep organized and still be a part of all the fun! The upper patio off the second floor is sheltered from the wind and afternoon sun so it is perfect for hanging out and relaxing. This home is large enough for everyone to gather around in the kitchen, living room or outdoor space but also offers spacious bedrooms and a couple of nook and crannies if you need some alone time with a good book or a nap!
Everything is new! Just been built a few years ago and only entering into its first full season as a vacation home, this is a very special place that you can call your own during your holiday. Come stay with us for a couple of days, a weekend or a month! We are open all year around!!
Four retired Navy couples just spent a wonderful week in this charming, beautiful home- more than we expected!
Thank You Ed, Penny, Al, Jean, Bill, Nancy, Richard and Connie
This past weekend was our third visit to the Six Nations House. We were 4 couples and had a fantastic weekend. The house is a short walk to town and is perfect in every way!!!
The house is beautiful. It easily accommodated 4 couples. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back!
We have stayed at a number of different accommodations in Niagara over the years including B&Bs, private residences, inns and hotels and the Six Nations House is by far the best. Immaculate, beautifully furnished and well located, our group will be coming back again for sure!
Our stay at Six Nations House was wonderful. Those responsible for managing our reservation and greeting us upon arrival were polite, helpul and very friendly. We felt genuinely welcomed. The house is in beautiful condition - clean, new and spacious - and the location was very convenient. A great stay!
This exceptional home was spotless, well-equipped and filled with high end furnishings. Each room was large and very comfortable. It is centrally located so a short 5 minute walk will get you to the heart of town. I highly recommend a stay at Six Nation House. It is perfect for a large family or lovely for a girl's weekend away! You won't be disappointed.
I stayed at this property last summer with 6 other women for a college girl's reunion. It was perfect for us and we had a great weekend. The minute we walked in the door we knew we had made a good choice. The house is very clean, nicely furnished and decorated, and very well maintained. It is ideally located, just 2 blocks from shops and restaurants. The property manager was extremely helpful and accomodating. I would highly recommend this property.
Niagara-on-on-the-Lake offers so much more than just the neighbor to Niagara Falls! It has history, Shaw Theatre, Jet Boat Rides, boutique shops, antique shops, wineries, micro breweries but also a unique past and Six Nations House presents an opportunity to reach to the past and learn more about the origins of Canada and the significant contributions made by the Six Nations and Native contributions to the development of Canada, renew an old alliance, and make history once again!

I used "update-rc.d wicd defaults" to start networking automatically with booting BT4. It works as expected but I would really like to disable it (for the root at least ). How to do that?
Also, I've noticed some weird stuff after using above-mentioned line;
to use aircrack-ng suite, I have to stop dhclient and wpa_supplicant - makes sense, no problem.
BUT, while using default "wlan0" with monitor mode enabled I can no longer use aireplay-ng to associate with my AP. Instead, I have to use mon0 at the end of the line and it works great.
With "wlan0" I can no longer authenticate nor associate at all.
I tried using ifconfig to disable/enable my wlan card and then used aireplay-ng with "wlan0", only to get obnoxious:
Again, with "mon0" it works great...Code:ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211, ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>' Sysfs injection support was not found either
What could be the problem?

One of the leaders of a polygamous community in British Columbia has decided against testifying at a court reference case on Canada's law against multiple marriage, while the other made an appeal for members of the community to be given a "fair shake" in the debate.
Several residents of Bountiful are slated to testify later this month at the B.C. court hearings into the constitutionality of Canada's anti-polygamy law.
James Oler, the leader of one of two factions in the community, was expected to be among them, but has decided against appearing, his lawyer confirmed Tuesday. He declined to explain why.
The leader of the other faction, Winston Blackmore, is boycotting the hearings after he was refused government funding. He told The Canadian Press in an e-mail exchange that he hasn't been following the case in detail.
But he questioned the experts who have testified that polygamy is inherently harmful to women and children, pointing to a law professor who appeared on Monday and said Western laws against multiple marriage are rooted in the long-standing belief that the practice is "unnatural and dangerous."
Mr. Blackmore noted the professor has never lived in a polygamous community or conducted research in one.
"I am not trying to be coy here, just wondering what makes him an expert," Mr. Blackmore wrote.
"In contrast, Jim Oler and the other FLDS people [who live in Bountiful]will certainly be experts on the topic. Give them a fair shake in the media."
Only one of the many experts who have testified has actually visited Bountiful, and she told the court the law against polygamy - not the practice itself - is oppressing the women who live there.
Most of the other academics to take the stand based their testimony on case studies in other parts of the world or historical examples of polygamy. Several discussed fundamentalist Mormon communities in the United States.
Bountiful is near the town of Creston, B.C., not far from the U.S. border.
The roughly 1,000 people who live there are members of the U.S.-based Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or FLDS, a breakaway Mormon sect that still practises polygamy. The mainstream Mormon church renounced polygamy more than a century ago.
In 2002, Warren Jeffs assumed control of the FLDS and attempted to remove Mr. Blackmore as bishop. The community is now bitterly divided into two factions, one loyal to the FLDS and controlled by Mr. Oler, and the other loyal to Mr. Blackmore. Mr. Jeffs is in a U.S. prison awaiting trial on sexual assault and bigamy charges.
The FLDS is an intervenor in the case, and its lawyer, Robert Wickett, confirmed Mr. Oler has decided not to testify.
Mr. Oler has already filed a written affidavit with the court, but his decision not to appear means the document will not be read into the record.
In his affidavit, Mr. Oler described his role as bishop in the community, where his followers are required to hand over all their property to the church, which then distributes it based on the "wants and needs" of each family.
While it is up to the bishop to decide who will be married, Mr. Oler insisted no one is ever forced to wed. Women can also pray for guidance and then request a specific husband, and Mr. Oler said those requests are almost always followed. Men don't have the same opportunity, he added, but men and women are allowed to refuse a marriage.
"There is no force in our religion," Mr. Oler wrote. "One of our strongest beliefs is that everyone has their free agency and can choose what they want. No one can be forced into heaven."
Mr. Oler said divorce is discouraged but allowed in exceptional circumstances, such as when one spouse leaves the community or commits "serious wrongdoings."
He also rejected the suggestion that expulsion is commonplace in Bountiful. Some experts have said boys and young men are forced out of FLDS communities because there are not enough single women for them to marry, but Mr. Oler said he can recall only two people who have been asked to leave for "extreme" violations of the community's code of conduct.
He said the law is hurting the people of Bountiful.
"If the criminal prohibition against polygamy was removed, I know that we would all be more comfortable in seeking the help of outside agencies," Mr. Oler said.
"I also know that the standard of living for everyone in our community would be much better if we were not diverting so many of our resources to pay lawyers and defend our rights. I personally see this as a very life-changing and wonderful day to be left alone to live our religion and to let others live theirs."
Mr. Blackmore and Mr. Oler were each charged in 2009 with practising polygamy, but the charges were thrown out on technical grounds.Report Typo/Error

Normally, it seems like the latest and best fashions are designed around young, single people. However, the French fashion house The Kooples (like the name of the brand implies) is a concept brand created on the idea that longtime couples often share some garments of clothing.
It has been widely noted that couples over time start to look alike: mannerisms, facial expressions, style of dress. The Kooples, a fashion label that hails from Paris via London and recently set up at Bloomingdales in New York, takes this last point to heart. Its mens and womens collections are designed to complement each other, even be shared.
Our wives take our jackets, and we take their scarves, Alexandre Elicha, the oldest of three brothers behind the brand, said in a thick French accent. Sometimes we take their jeans. We like very skinny jeans. Read More

The Poem Stuck in My Head
T. S. Eliot's "The Cultivation of Christmas Trees"By Casey N. Cep
In 1927, Richard de la Mare had an idea for some Christmas cards. Because he was a production director at London's Faber & Gwyer, his cards were festive poetry pamphlets that could be sent to clients and sold to customers for one shilling a piece. Because two years earlier Geoffrey Faber had lured a banker from Lloyd's Bank to work as an editor at his publishing house, Faber & Gwyer had T. S. Eliot to contribute to the series.
Named for Shakespeare's sprite, the Ariel poems each addressed the Christmas holiday or a seasonal theme. G. K. Chesterton, Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, Siegfried Sassoon, Vita Sackville-West, Edith Sitwell, and W. B. Yeats all contributed. The Ariel series followed a strict formula: identical cardboard bindings; title, illustrator, author, and occasionally an illustration on the cover; and two interior sheets folded to make four pages. The first page repeated the title information; the following three featured the poem and an original illustration.
T. S. Eliot wrote six poems for the series: "The Journey of the Magi" (1927), "A Song for Simeon" (1928), "Animula" (1929), "Marina" (1930), "Triumphal March" (1931), and, later when the series was revived, "The Cultivation of Christmas Trees" (1954). Only thirty-four lines long, that final poem is like a whisper in the whirlwind of dramatic plays and long poems that characterize most of Eliot's later work. "The Cultivation of Christmas Trees" came decades after "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1917) and The Waste Land (1922), years after Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (1939) and The Four Quartets (1943).
I think of Eliot's Christmas trees every year around this time: when firs, pines, and spruces appear in living rooms, storefronts, and town squares around the country. Eliot wrote the poem when he was sixty-six years old. His voice is wizened, yet wistful as he reaches through all the years of his life to recover "the spirit of wonder" from his earliest Christmases. Though formal and serious, the poem seems almost saccharine when compared to his earlier work. It will surprise many that the poet of fragments and ruins eventually turned his attention to the pretty packages and bright lights of Christmas. Read More

I'm an ENTJ, if that means anything.
I'm excited to get out and see more of the city/beaches/trails etc. That is, when I'm not stressing/geeking out over my studies.
Favorite book ever: Anthills of the Savannah
Movies: I like either really campy shit or ultra-serious dramas. My most recent obsession in terms of movies has been Cold War-era films like Fail Safe, Threads, and of course, Dr. Strangelove.
Music: Meh, that's a long list. Some of my heroes include: Saint Etienne, Pizzicato Five, Bjork, Lambchop, Antonio Carlos Jobim, The Free Design. I like music that calms me down, more than music that gets me going.
Food: Diet Coke, Vietnamese Sandwiches.
-Constant noise/talking, either from a radio, ipod or internet.
-Outdated slang phrases.

Intelligent Perimeter Systems (IPS) is dedicated to developing and integrating advanced traffic and vehicle access control products and systems to protect valuable human and physical assets from Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIED) and other related vehicle borne threats.
VBIEDs, commonly referred to as vehicle bombs, are fast becoming the weapon of choice for terrorists around the world. Through seamlessly combining state-of-the-art physical and electronic security technologies, IPS provides turnkey solutions to complex traffic control and perimeter defense challenges. IPS serves a variety of high-profile public and private sector clients, including government agencies, utilities, bridge and port authorities, toll way authorities, railroads, large commercial sites, and many others. IPS markets its products around the world, both directly and through a network of certified distributors.
IPS has a corporate headquarters and R&D facility in Ohio, two sales and marketing offices – one in suburban Virginia and another in the UK – and third-party contract agreements for production and field operations.
Products and Services
IPS currently markets its products and services in the following categories:
Perimeter Defense
IPS offers three lines of retractable security barriers – the medium-security Model 300 and high-security Model 400 and Model 500. These new-to-the-world barriers were developed to address the need for intelligent area denial and perimeter security applications. The Model 300 barriers are capable of stopping a 15,000 lb. vehicle traveling at 30 mph. The K12-rated Model 400 barriers are certified by the United States Department of State to stop a 15,000 lb. vehicle traveling at 50 mph. The barriers deploy fully in less than 6 seconds in normal operation mode, and in less than 2 seconds in emergency operation mode. IPS vehicle barriers are self-contained, eliminating the need for a central hydraulic pump station or underground lines. Specifically, each barrier has an independent hydraulic power system and all electromechanical components are housed directly next to each barrier, providing environmental protection and ease of access for maintenance or replacement.; Model 300, 400 and 500 barrier systems can be operated locally using a panel or keypad, or remotely using high-speed Ethernet radio or satellite communication. Remote monitoring of the system is possible through a secure web-enabled interface. All IPS security barriers are shipped in a pre-fabricated, steel foundation, significantly reducing on site installation requirements and cost. Additionally, the barriers operate on low power (24v) and each barrier has its own independent battery back-up system in case of power outages.
In addition to its primary barrier lines, IPS' also offers a complete system solution called Intelli-Gate. Intelli-Gate integrates several off-the-shelf access control technologies to automate the entry of people and vehicles into a secure location. Utilizing standard access control hardware with proprietary IPS software, Intelli-Gate provides users with the ability to instantaneously identify and screen authorized personnel, vehicles and visitors as a means to control access into any secured location accurately and in real-time. Intelli-Gate seamlessly integrates multiple technologies, including sensors, readers and access control hardware panel, allowing the system to be adapted to a variety of custom configurations. The flexible system architecture is designed to provide clients with a single data entry interface that exchanges information with related databases using ODBC compliant sockets. Database queries can be accomplished from a personal computer, tablet PC or wireless PDA. Wireless equipment is connected to the Intelli-Gate host database through an 802.11b/g encrypted wireless LAN.
Furthermore, IPS has recently introduced a new line of intelligent barriers called Intelli-Barrier. IPS' Intelli-Barrier product line integrates IPS' DOS K12-rated vehicle bollard arrays with various intrusion detection, CCTV, explosive, chemical/biological, and radiation detection devices to secure the access points and perimeters of critical infrastructure facilities (e.g., military bases, government buildings, commercial infrastructure, etc.). The IPS Intelli-Barrier system has the ability to integrate multiple technologies, providing users with the appearance of a single system. As with the Intelli-Gate system, Intelli-Barriers leverage flexible system architecture that provides clients with a single data entry interface that exchanges information with related databases using ODBC compliant sockets. Additionally, Intelli-Barrier products each boast self-contained motors, hydraulic controls, power supply, and detection devices and sensors that provide customers with state-of-the-art physical and electronic security and intrusion detection.
Monitoring Systems
IPS recently developed and commercialized Intelli-Monitor, a new-to-the-world software monitoring solution designed to help customers evaluate the health and status of their access control systems and related security equipment quickly and easily. Intelli-Monitor provides users with real-time system health and diagnostic data, including power and battery status, controller memory, panel temperature, sensor loads, barrier cycle and run time, pump cycle and run time, and communication device status, among other things. Intelli-Monitor can be operated locally from a LAN-based desktop or laptop PC, or remotely using high-speed Ethernet, cellular or satellite communication links. Remote monitoring of the system is possible through a secure web-enabled interface.
Installation & Maintenance Services
IPS offers customers a complete menu of equipment installation and maintenance services, ranging from installation oversight to turnkey installation management and system maintenance, service and support. While IPS' perimeter defense and traffic control are extremely low maintenance by design, routine maintenance services including brush replacement, electrical connection checks, cylinder debris removal and system cycle tests should be conducted to ensure that equipment stays in excellent operating condition at all times.
Traffic Control
IPS offers two lines of traffic control delineators the flexible polymeric Model 100 and the non-flexible aluminum Model 200. The IPS retractable traffic control barriers were developed as a safe and easy way to control or redirect traffic, particularly in situations where repetitive changes in lane usage or traffic flow patterns are required. IPS delineators eliminate crew exposure to hazardous situations during traffic flow changes by eliminating the need for workers to place pylons, drums or vertical panels. The delineators also have valuable security applications,including providing management or control of traffic around secure facilities (e.g., serpentine lanes), or as protection devices at railroad crossings. Additional applications include traffic flow management at toll collection lanes, weigh stations, parking lots, tunnel and bridge entrances, HOV lanes and reversible lanes.The delineators are flexible, but highly durable polymeric pylons designed to withstand repeated vehicle impacts. The barriers are housed in self-contained cartridges recessed in the ground and can be easily raised or lowered as needed. Each barrier can be individually controlled or controlled as part of an array of delineators that takes commands from a central control unit.
As a value-added hardware and software solution developer and integrator capable of addressing new perimeter defense and traffic control requirements, as well as retrofitting most existing system applications being used today, IPS is an end-to-end perimeter security and traffic management solutions provider serving customers in the homeland security, military, transportation and private sector markets.

|Giving New Life
|Weber, Nicholas
|Abstract- This thesis project is the exploration of how technology may serve to reveal architectural opportunities within a damaged landscape. There are many places around the planet which have been used and then left to repair themselves without the aid of the hands who caused the damage. These places need to be reconsidered for future projects. Taking the technological knowledge of professionals we now can reveal architectural opportunities which will not only repair the landscape but give it new life. The building typology will be a four seasons resort destination. It will be a place for people to gather and be engaged in their surroundings. The resort will be designed for the mine site located in the southwesterly part of the greater Salt Lake Valley, which is in the northern part of the state of Utah. The mine in question is the largest open pit mine in the world. Professional judgement, when applied to damaged landscapes, may reveal opportunities for architectural, and or landscape architectural, design responses that will resuscitate the damaged environment.

Road trip to Tibet
de Ilias Hatzakis - 2007
Acerca del libro
This book is an attempt to depict some of the features of Tibetan people, as I sensed them during my trip from the Nepal border to Lhasa in August 2009:
Isolation in time and space, povery and toughness, a feeling of defeat for not ruling their own country, combined with pride for their uniqueness and religious superiority, not to forget a simple and unspoiled sense of humor.
As for the landscape, dry and clear, it emits from every angle the proximity to the sky, to the eternity, to God...

By: Taran Adarsh, IndiaFM
Friday, May 25, 2007
Hindi movies are getting more and more real. Till sometime back, certain themes were kept locked inside the almirah, but delicate and sensitive issues and relationships are slowly stepping out of the closet. On celluloid.
R. Balki's Cheeni Kum talks of two consenting adults wanting to spend the rest of their lives together. But there's a hitch... The groom-to-be is elder than the prospective father-in-law. This relationship is highly objectionable to the bride's father!
Contrary to general perception, Cheeni Kum is not similar to RGV's Nishabd. Like Nishabd, Cheeni Kum looks at the relationship between a much older man and a young woman, fit to be his daughter. But, unlike Nishabd, Cheeni Kum stresses on humor to drive home the point. Also, the culmination -- so vital in a film of this genre -- is not difficult to gulp since the sequence of events that lead to the climax are believable.
On the flip side, Cheeni Kum tends to get verbose, talk heavy at times. Besides, the first hour tends to stagnate. It only sprints towards the second hour when Amitabh pops up the question. More on that later!
In a nutshell, a film like Cheeni Kum signifies the winds of change in Bollywood. An effort like this is sure to find its share of bouquets and brickbats. The elite wouldn't mind the film, the commoners might.
The boy is actually a 64-year-old man, Buddhadev Gupta [Amitabh Bachchan]. The girl is a 34-year-old woman, Nina Verma [Tabu].
Buddhadev is the chef cum owner of London's top Indian restaurant. He lives with his 85-year-old mother [Zohra Sehgal] and his only friend and confidante is his 9-year-old neighbor -- Sexy [Swini Khara]. Buddhadev is an arrogant, egoistic, pompous man with a singular passion in life -- cooking. A confirmed bachelor who has never been in love. Until Nina walks into his restaurant and life.
Nina is a beautiful, charming, Indian woman. Cool, calm, quiet, always smiling, but independent and strong willed. Two extremes, in age, character and attitude, meet and against all odds fall in love. They decide to get married. And, like any Indian man, Buddhadev respectfully comes to ask Nina's father, Omprakash Verma [Paresh Rawal], living in Delhi, for her hand.
But there's just one problem... Nina's father is 58 years old, 6 years younger than Buddhadev, his would be son-in-law.
Let's get into the analyzing mode and find out what works and what doesn't... The sequences between Amitabh and Tabu at the restaurant are involving. The relationship that Amitabh shares with his mother does raise eyebrows, since it's not conventional. Nonetheless, it's amusing. The moments between Amitabh and the child bring to fore another aspect of the protagonist's personality, which is welcome.
What doesn't? A number of sequences have been stretched for no reason. They tend to get repetitive. As someone who's watching the story from the sides, you want it to proceed in some direction, but there's not much movement in the first half. It takes its own sweet time to reach its destination. Besides, since the film is set in London and the setting is urban, the humor depicted in Cheeni Kum is directed at the elite. That, in turn, robs the film of universal acceptance.

Dissertation Abstracts: All-Inclusive Summaries for Busy Readers
Posted On March 29th, 2012 | Dissertation Writing
Have you already given a sigh of relief after completing the conclusion part of your dissertation? Certainly, you have what to celebrate. Still, here is a little spoiler: make certain you do not forget to write a dissertation abstract. Paradoxically, this relatively brief part is placed at the beginning of your thesis, but should be written after you write everything else. You may want to check these recommendations for writing a winning dissertation abstract relatively quickly and continuing to enjoy yourself until your thesis defense.
Dissertation abstracts: main goal
A dissertation abstract is an all-inclusive summary of the whole project so that a very busy reader can look through it and understand at a glance what your dissertation is about and what are its main findings and ideas. A dissertation abstract usually consists of 250-300 words, but covers the most important points of your dissertation. It should be a powerful statement encouraging readers to look into the thesis itself.
Dissertation abstracts: what to include
The main elements to include in dissertation abstracts can vary from university to university and from subject to subject. However, the common elements usually found in dissertation abstracts are:
- purpose of the research;
- rationale for investigating this question;
- brief background;
- a hypothesis or research question(s);
- methodology used;
- findings (this is why you cannot write dissertation abstracts before the rest of the project: you do not know your findings before completing the research).
- implications;
- conclusions.
Dissertation abstracts: questions to cover
These are the main questions that a powerful dissertation abstract answers:
- What is the problem you chose to investigate in your dissertation?
- Why did you choose this problem? Why is it important?
- What have you done to investigate this problem?
- What have you found out?
Dissertation abstracts: constructions to use
If you wonder how to write a dissertation abstract, you might want to check these constructions that will help you in thesis writing:
- This dissertation describes…
- This experiment was performed to determine…
- There is a need for further research…
- Because of this problem…
- Existing research assumes that…
- The given problem is solved through…
- Results can be used to improve…
You may want to complete these sentences to write particular sections of your abstracts.
Dissertation abstracts: example
Now that you clearly understand what the main goal and components of dissertation abstracts are, you might want to see a fragment from a sample dissertation abstract:
E.g. This dissertation describes the importance of proper conflict management within an organization. Existing research assumes that conflict management should be used for reducing the negative effects of conflicts and enhancing learning processes and group outcomes. There is a need for further research of the potential negative impact of conflict avoidance. An experiment was performed to determine the negative aspects of avoiding conflicts as a coping strategy used by managers…
Please note that the above is only a fragment from a sample dissertation abstract. Congratulations! Now you have a complete understanding of how to write a dissertation abstract and will surely write good abstracts for dissertations.

Moroney to test out young gunPatrick Bartley
Published: September 15 2012 - 3:00AM
MIKE Moroney admits his team of three-year-olds for this year's spring classics is the biggest and most imposing number of young horses he has had through the stable.
While conceding that large numbers are never an instant recipe for success, today at Moonee Valley he hopes to gain a valuable insight into one of his more talented crops of three-year-olds when About Square has his second Australian start in the Sportingbet Handicap.
Moroney said the performance of About Square would dictate whether the son of Refuse To Bend would be in contention for the Caulfield Guineas or Victoria Derby.
''We have a very high opinion of About Square but it seems that a few people from Hong Kong shared the same opinion,'' he said. ''Agents from over there looked long and hard at [buying] him so we thought if he's good enough to make it in Hong Kong then let's have a crack at him in the spring carnival.''
Earlier this week, interest in local three-year-old Stralia, who finished second in the Danehill Stakes last Saturday, gathered momentum and is an example how popular Australian and New Zealand three-year-olds are on the overseas market.
Moroney said About Square had thrived since having one run back at Caulfield a fortnight ago where he finished sixth.
''In fact he should have been unbeaten in two starts and his one run at Caulfield the other day was a lot better than it looked,'' he said.
''It's a highly competitive time of year for three-year-olds and we know the weight of numbers is never a guarantee of group 1 success, but at the same time we have a lot of very nice horses to work through for this spring.''
The former New Zealand trainer, who has twice won the Victoria Derby, said the ''sifting through process'' was well and truly under way. Already at least a quarter of his 40 three-year-olds have been identified as being too physically immature to cope with the rigours of spring racing.
''Some are just not ready for the grind at the moment so they've been put aside,'' Moroney said.
''We had six runners at Ballarat on Thursday and won a race with a very nice Zabeel filly [La Zuma]. There's a lot of work ahead, though, identifying what's ready and what needs time, but we're pretty excited at the depth of three-year-olds.''

The parent company of TVG reported a record handle of $148.5 million for the third quarter of 2007, and announced a new wagering partnership in New York during a Nov. 1 conference call with analysts.
Included in the financials for Gemstar-TV Guide International was the record handle for TVG, which bettered the second-quarter total of $125 million by 18.8%, and the $126.6 million of third quarter of 2006 by 17.3%
"(The third quarter) was the best quarter in the company history in regards to handle," said Gemstar chief executive officer Rich Battista during the call. "Despite the loss of some Churchill Downs tracks during the quarter, we saw strong growth in active advance deposit wagering, and double-digit increases from such key tracks as Belmont, Del Mar and Saratoga; as well as incremental growth from new exclusive tracks such as The Meadowlands, Monmouth Park and Yonkers (Raceway)."
Gemstar, which calls itself a global media, entertainment, and technology company, reported its TVG signal is available in 28.1 million homes – up 17.2% from the 18.6 million a year ago.
TVG also announced Nov. 1 that it will have an on-line wagering presence in New York for the first time.
A new Internet wagering platform (www.tvgnewyork.com), which was developed with a joint agreement with Yonkers Raceway, was approved by the New York Racing and Wagering Board Oct. 26, and will provide on-line account wagering for New York residents.
"I think it is a real positive," Battista said. "We do have some sports-tier carriage in New York, but we haven't had wagering. We think there is a real opportunity for us in New York."
Battista repeatedly declined comment on the company's July announcement that it had launched a strategic review of its operations that may include putting itself up for sale.
One analyst asked if the whole company could be sold, or if specific segments could be purchased by outside buyers.
"We are exploring various options," Battista said. "We are not going to commit or elaborate right now."
As a company, Gemstar-TV Guide International reported a net income for the third quarter $123.2 million, or $0.29 per share, compared with net income of $17.5 million, or $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2006. Income benefited from the reversal of approximately $115 million in valuation allowance against the company's deferred tax assets, according to a statement released by the Gemstar. Total revenue rose 7% to $159.6 million.

The main problem with this information is the misrepresentation of labels. I don't necessarily believe or disbelieve in "soul" traps but I do see what could be another twisted corruption to trick people.
What is being called "soul" here is what I would call the energy body. What I would call "soul" is what others call "spirit". Anyway, that's not really the point.
When the spirit takes on a physical body, the interaction creates the energy body (what is called soul here). This energy body is no more YOU than the physical body. There is no technology that can entrap YOU. It may be able to entrap the energy body (soul) that is created by your interaction in the physical/energy realms. I don't know if it can or not. But it doesn't matter. You are beyond this physical realm and the realm above this.
The idea of "connecting with your soul" may be bad advice because then your awareness/spirit will believe itself to be this soul (energy body) as many people believe themselves to be a physical human. If an AI wants your soul (energy body) so be it. That energy is not YOU. You are beyond the aliens, the AI and all their traps. The only thing they can do against you is to get you to believe their lies.
Their only true weapon is lies. They want to keep your spirit/awareness trapped because that's what creates the energy they feed on. Of course, this soul trap thing may just be another lie to produce fear energy. Who knows. But if you truly know yourself there's nothing in all of creation that can trap you.

Thank you! Very Powerfull words. Thanks for reminding!
You speak the truth.
Anonymous Coward 1306723
He speaks ignorance!
If i place a bear trap outside your doorstep and conceal it good so you'll not notice and step on it as soon you exit the door, be grateful for the ones that will warn you in advance!
this guy tries to say
"hey don't listen to these people that try to warn you about dangers you're not aware about, nothing can hurt you just go back to sleep the bear trap outside your door even if it exists and you step on it it cannot hurt you so you can step on it without fear cause that's what people like the OP do they promote fear by warning you about things that if you had done some research you would have known already and by the way the fear the OP might cause you with his warnings is nothing like the fear you'll get after you get caught in the traps"
imagine you're a bear caught in a bear trap the fear you'll be feeling until the killer finds you to slaughter you, if you need a little fear to stay away from dangers is good.
Use everything in your inventory to your advantage unless you're a dummy you'll get burn, fear is like fire if you know how to use it it can help you out with a lot of things if you don't know how to use it it will burn you.
Knowledge saves you, ignorance kills you.
Lastly be careful of the agents that will try to put you back to sleep! the guys above are a perfect example!

By Sgt. James McLelland, 509th Signal BattalionJanuary 10, 2013
VICENZA, Italy (January 8, 2013) -- Nine Signal Soldiers now have the expertise necessary to tackle the significant endeavor of securing network systems thanks to the epoxy training provided by 6981st Civilian Support Group (CSG).
5th Signal Command's, 6981st CSG traveled from Mannheim, Germany, to Caserma Ederle, Italy, to conduct epoxy training to Holocom Protective Distribution Systems (PDS) Dec. 11-12, 2012, for nine Signal Soldiers from 509th Signal Battalion, 173D Airborne Brigade Combat Team, and U.S. Army Africa.
PDS access points are located in various buildings on Caserma Ederle and provide users with access to the data network. Epoxy is a high grade and high strength adhesive resin used in a variety of applications to include aircraft and vehicle construction. The training was designed to provide Signal Soldiers with the technical expertise to physically secure the network from tampering or other malicious activity by sealing seams and joints to PDS access points and hardened carriers.
6981st CSG trainers provided all training materials and safety equipment to the Soldiers for the hands on training. They placed an emphasis on safety and attention to detail in order to ensure Department of Defense and U.S. Army Europe physical security standards are met. Soldiers were provided with full oversight and immediate feedback by the trainers on their epoxy applications helping them meet the standard.
Command Sgt. Maj. Javier Abad, 509th Signal Battalion said, "We will certainly keep the 6981st CSG subject matter experts on tap and continue to seek off-the-shelf training and certifications for all Soldiers in Vicenza."
Sgt. James McLelland, assigned to 509th Signal Battalion said, "The training was very productive and rewarding, especially the hands-on portion of the practical application and real-world scenarios."
"This training streamlined the Holocom Protective Distribution System (PDS) training and certification for Signal Soldiers in the 173D ABCT, USARAF G6 and 509th Signal Battalion, but most importantly it streamlines the 'Department of the Army Inspector General Information Assurance Standard,'" said Abad.
The training provided by 6981st CSG is the first of its kind to Signal Soldiers in U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza. Students left the training ready to share their knowledge and train other technicians on how to epoxy Holocom PDS systems within their own organizations.
Abad said, "Training Soldiers is a force multiplier because their experience will spread to other commands within the Department of Defense."

Trans Am Road America Part 1
Blaise Csida with Trans Am At Road America Aug. 17/12
Formula One at Road America
Here is an onboard video from the 2012 KIC at Road America. The car is a 1997 Jordan with with a Judd engine instead of the Peugeot that it used in the actual Grand Prix. This was our first weekend with with the car and were astounded with the performance. There were a few bugs as expected but we got everything worked out. In front of me is my dad running a Benetton F1 from the same year, with the same engine. Keep in mind this is not a professional event, nor am I a professional driver. The only goal was to have fun and keep the car in once piece. Enjoy!

Nowadays, making classrooms or school lunch tables "nut free" is necessary to keep kiddies with allergies safe. Whether you have a little one with an allergy or kiddos that attend an allergy-sensitive school, here are some delicious replacements for typically nut-inspired foods.
1.) Cream Cheese and Jelly
This classic sandwich is an oldie but goodie. Make it extra special with homemade jam.
2.) Soy Nut Butter
A tasty alternative for dipping apple slices, carrot sticks or with jelly on whole-grain bread.

Scientists in New Zealand have been attaching special backpacks onto hedgehogs to try to work out where they go and what they do!
Hedgehogs were introduced into New Zealand in the 1800s. They may look cute, but some people think they've been damaging the environment.
Nothing hunts these hedgehogs so their numbers have been increasing rapidly.
Now there are worries that they are threatening New Zealand's lizards, insects and ground-nesting birds.
The backpacks use satellites to track the movement of the hedgehogs. They are light and designed not to slow down the animal or stop it rolling into a ball or nesting.
Scientists have been studying 28 hedgehogs. The backpacks send back information about the animals every five minutes for five days.
Over five days, they found that hedgehogs can travel up to a mile in one direction, but usually stay in one spot for food.
The study was done in the Godley Valley area of New Zealand's south island. It's hoped the information will help conservation in the country.

NEW YORK (Aug. 5)
The New York Board of Rabbis, representing 700 Reform Conservative and Orthodox rabbis, called yesterday on New York City's Department of Hospitals to reverse its policy on birth control information and to permit patients in city hospitals to decide for themselves whether receipt of birth control information violates their religious principles.
The rabbis' statement came in the midst of a controversy over a ban on birth control information in municipal hospitals which was imposed by Commissioner of Hospitals Morris A. Jacobs. His action has the support of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York but is opposed by many Protestant church groups.
In a letter to Mayor Robert F. Wagner signed by president Rabbi A. Alan Steinbach, the rabbinical board declared: "We as rabbis respect and defend the fundamental right of all religious groups, large or small, to formulate their particular views for their respective adherents. However, we strongly deplore and protest against the notion that patients in tax-supported hospitals who do not wish to adhere to the views of religious groups, to whom the Department of Hospitals seems to be deferring, should nevertheless be compelled by the department to do so even if, as a result, their very lives may be endangered. This most certainly is a violation of the cherished American concept of freedom of religion."

Iowa Supreme Court Permits Removal of Deceased Spouse's Remains
The Iowa Supreme Court recently issued a ruling granting the surviving spouse the right to disinter and reinterr her deceased husband's remains. It seems that the widow of Joseph Stark wasn't real happy that her husband was buried next to his first wife. After thinking a few months about it, she decided to have him dug up and moved to a new cemetery to be buried with his parents. The kids from the first marriage did not take too kindly to having dad and mom separated, so the battle was on.
Based on Iowa Code § 144.34, the Court found that if the state issues the permit with the consent of the surviving spouse, a court cannot override that permit. The procedure to get a permit only requires that a spouse, or the next of kin if there is no surviving spouse, apply for a permit for purposes of autopsy or reburial.
All the Stark children need to do now is wait until step-mom passes, then go back to the State of Iowa for a permit to dig dad up again and move him back. This sounds like a good process to keep grave diggers in business.
A better approach would be to enact legislation enabling an individual to select their designee to make the decision over disposition of their body remains. This allows the individual to make the decision over what happens to their body by choosing who makes that decision. Until then, communicate with ALL of your family as to your wishes and hopefully they will honor your intentions.
Is there is no peace in death?

When Abby Johnson quit her Planned Parenthood career, she didn't expect to receive more criticism from people in the pro-life camp than from those who are pro-choice.
After watching an ultrasound abortion that left her deeply agitated, Johnson took an unexpected turn when she left her job as director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas, in October 2009. She immediately joined forces with Coalition for Life, whose members she had watch protest the clinic during the eight years she worked and volunteered there.
But crossing to the other side of the abortion divide was disappointing in some ways Johnson did not expect. The pro-life community does not focus on community, she says, at least not like the pro-choice community. There, everyone is united behind the common goal of keeping abortion legal, she says.Read Full Article »

|Laura Ingalls
Pioneering Introduction Pepin Montgomery County, Kansas Walnut Grove Burr Oak
De Smet Vinton Mansfield
After leaving Burr Oak, Iowa, in 1877 the Ingalls family returned to Walnut Grove, Minnesota. In the winter of 1879, Mary became seriously ill. She complained of a terrible pain in her head and ran a high fever. A doctor came by train to the Ingallses' home in Walnut Grove. He diagnosed Mary's illness as brain fever. As a result of her illness, Mary gradually lost her eyesight, and on the day when Mary could see no more, Pa said that Laura must now see for Mary by describing in words what she saw with her eyes.

On November 23, 1881, at the age of sixteen, Mary Ingalls was enrolled at the Iowa College for the Blind in Vinton, Iowa. Ma and Pa accompanied Mary to Vinton, and they were met at the depot by a
horse drawn bus which took them to Mary's new school. During Mary's first year at Vinton there were ninety-four students at the school. Mary's academic achievements at the school proved to be exceptionally high and she excelled in music.
Records show that Mary was absent during the school year of 1887-1888, perhaps because of illness or lack of funds. One of the areas the school graded was conduct, and Mary received a 100%, the highest grade in her class.

Various times throughout the day were set aside for the students to practice music. Mary would have been expected to practice for two hours each day. Mary's family wanted her to continue practicing music at home, and, with Laura's salary from the Perry School and some money Pa had saved, Pa purchased a pump organ for Mary.
Students were usually allowed to do what they wanted during the one hour before supper. There was a chapel session at 7 p.m. after which students were divided into groups based on age and a teacher would read aloud from a book. The rest of the evening was comprised of studying and additional music practice. Students were expected to be silent after 9:30.
The high school subjects Mary studied were at a college level. Students competed against each other in essay, poetry and music contests. Prizes were often awarded to students with prizes of $12.00 and $8.00 for first and second place essays and $10.00 for the best musical rendition.
Horse fly nets (hanging on wall below window) were placed on the backs of horses. As the horses moved, the nets swung back and forth and brushed off the flies

The school offered many courses in the industrial department. Mary would have been required to take sewing, beadwork, knitting and general work, such as making hammocks and horse fly nets.
All the girls spent on hour a day with the sewing teacher. Having completed sewing the girls were required to spend the hour doing more fancy work such as knitting or beadwork, and Mary was quick to master these new skills.
Every day after 4 p.m. the students met in the chapel for exercises, which consisted of "Free Gymnastics," working with dumbbells, rings and wands, and marching.
Fire drills were held periodically during Mary's time at Vinton. If everyone managed to clear the building within three minutes after the fire alarm rang, classes would be cancelled and students would have free time for the remainder of the day.
Most rooms at the college consisted of two beds with two students to each bed. Older students were allowed to choose whom they shared their bed with. All students were required to care for their living quarters. They were also required to change their clothes once a week and take a bath every Saturday.
The meals were plain, yet adequate. The girls sat on one side of the dining room, the boys on the other. The school had strict table manners. If a student stained the tablecloth, he or she was removed from the table and the rest of the students at the table were forced to eat from an oil cloth, due to their irresponsibility in preventing the untidy accident.
Mary graduated in June, 1889, at the age of twenty-four. She was one of eight in her graduating class.
Pa built this house on Third Street in De Smet in 1887. The home is a museum and is open to the public.
After graduation Mary returned to De Smet to live with her parents. There she did housework, made clothes for Carrie and Grace, pieced quilts, netted hair nets and hammocks and continued her bead work. She wrote letters and poems in Braille using a grooved slate. Mary remained in De Smet, living with her parents and then her sister, Grace, and Grace's husband, Nate Dow. Mary died in 1928 while she was visiting her sister, Carrie, in Keystone, South Dakota.
