Community-Based Employment and Training Organizations to meet with Private Sector Firms at NY Fed
NEW YORK Representatives of more than 50 area businesses will meet tomorrow morning at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with program directors from community-based employment and training organizations to discuss employment opportunities for New York Citys young adults (ages 17-22).
The purpose of the meeting, co-sponsored by the National Alliance of Business and the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, is to provide small-to medium-sized private sector firms with an opportunity to identify and possibly hire young adults who are participating in community-based employment and training programs.
While New York Citys unemployment rate tumbled last month from 7.6% to 6.4%, a ten-year low, higher levels of unemployment still exist among the citys young adults.
New York Fed President William J. McDonough said, "This meeting, the first of its kind sponsored by the New York Fed, will put private sector executives together with a potential source of skilled labor. The citys youth labor pool represents an untapped resource and one that, traditionally, has been overlooked."
Prudential Securities, CVS, United Artists, Blue Ridge Farms, Republic National Bank and Applecore Hotels are among the firms expected to attend the meeting.
More than 50 community-based organizations from around the city, such as the United Neighborhood Houses of New York, the Police Athletic League, the Vocational Foundation, Inc., and the YMCA of Greater New York, also will be in attendance.
Community-based employment and training programs typically provide individuals with basic skills training, workplace-readiness, career counseling, and job search and placement services.

Janel Parrish 'Very Excited' to Report From Teen Choice Awards
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
Pretty Little Liars star Janel Parrish will be at Teen Choice Awards this Sunday reporting from the Coca-Cola Studio!
"At least it's nice and cool. A little break from the heat," the actress, who plans to wear two different shades of blue on the red carpet, jokes to On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "It's going to be fun. I'm very excited!"
And she plans to spend the next few days before the event on Sunday to hone her reporting skills.
"I'm gonna get my host face on and it's going to be a party," says Janel. "I'm going to work on that tonight, I'm going to compile things."
As for her often villainous PLL character, Janel says not knowing what kind of person Mona will be before each season "makes it fun."
"My favorite story to tell is how I was filming a scene and I looked at Marlene King, our writer, and said, 'Marlene, what am I talking about here?' And she was like, 'Just pretend like you know everything,' and I was like, 'But I don't know anything.' 'Exactly, just pretend like you do though.'"
Don't miss the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, August 10, at 8/7c on FOX … and be sure to come back to RyanSeacrest.com on Monday to see all of Janel's interviews!

Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value, if any, of the function.
g(x) = -x(^2) + 2 x + 9
g'(x) = -2x + 2
This is zero when x = 1.
The second derivative, -2, is negative there, so g(1) is a maximum. The value there is 10.
There is no absolute minimum. The function is an upside-down parabola that goes to minus infinity at large and small x.

Birmingham is Alabama's cradle of cool, a blue-collar city on the upswing. Neighborhoods like Five Points South – strewn with Art Deco buildings, award-winning Southern restaurants like Hot & Hot Fish Club and hipster hangouts like Renaissance Records – showcase Birmingham's trendier side and act as magnets for the young and restless from around the state.
It wasn't always so. Birmingham has done wonders in recent years to leave its checkered past behind, but not forgotten. Downtown's Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and 16th Street Baptist Church are stirring testaments to the city's struggles, but Birmingham is about more than history.
Don't miss Vulcan Park's namesake Vulcan, the world's largest cast-iron statue and just one of the city's many quirky attractions. Blues lovers should do everything in their power to find Gip's Place, a hidden-away juke joint in Bessemer, a dicey Birmingham suburb. Fueled by moonshine, hair-raising blues and a come-one, come-all attitude, it shows more than anywhere else just how far Birmingham has come.

Breaking its silence on the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers, particularly inmates of Abu Ghraib jail, India on Tuesday termed such acts as 'abhorrent'.
Voicing New Delhi's 'concern' over the brutalities and indecent acts perpetrated by US soldiers, External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh said, "There can be no condoning of such heinous acts."
Replying to a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the situation in Iraq, he said, "Like the rest of the world, the government considers the ill-treatment and abuse of Iraqi prisoners abhorrent."

Every January it's the same thing. We make vows to change for the better, improve who we are or become someone different. I can't tell you how many pieces of exercise equipment or gym memberships are purchased in January, although I'm sure there's a website devoted to it somewhere.
As dog lovers, we often joke we want to be more like our dogs. What if this year, we make that our goal?
I'm not talking about sleeping all day and sniffing rear ends. I'm talking about adopting the basic canine mentality. Hear me out on this one and then decide if I've lost my marbles.
Dogs take each day as it happens. No worrying about tomorrow, no stressing about yesterday. They bury their bones for safekeeping just like we invest for our future. Dogs wake up every day excited to see what the day has to offer and meet that day with wagging tails.
Dogs can make anyone a pack member.
Dogs don't have to be blood relatives to allow a new member into their pack. In fact, new members don't have to prove they are worthy to be allowed in; they only need to be deemed worthy by other pack members. Imagine how different your world would be if you allowed people into your life without the judgment that comes with the baggage most of us carry into adulthood.
Dogs are always excited to go somewhere.
There are the rare exceptions, but for the most part, show a dog a leash and they are ready to go. Doesn't matter where you're going, they are excited and ready. Let's be more like that. No more debates about who gets to decide where to go. If it's not where you want to go, that's OK because you're still going somewhere with someone you care about. Isn't that what's most important?
Dogs listen.
This is going to be hard for a lot of us because we love to talk and we do it really well. But what we need to do more is listen. Not just listen to what is being said, but hear what isn't being said, as well. When someone is talking to us, the subtle cues they use with body language can only be seen and understood if we put our phones down and pay attention. Have you ever spilled your heart out to a dog and felt like they knew exactly when to lay their head on your lap? If they were texting, they might have missed that moment.
Dogs show affection.
Dogs don't hide their affection from those they care about. If a dog likes someone, they know it. Tails will wag in large back and forth motions, bodies might dip playfully and barks become excited. There is no denying an affectionate dog.
How often do we hide our affection out of anger or ignorance instead of allowing our affection to show? This year, strive to show affection every chance you get.
Yep, I'm definitely going to be more like my dog.

You are Here: Archived Articles and Videos » Interviews » A Conversation with Karel Husa
Pulitzer prize-winning composer Karel Husa is an internationally known composer and conductor. Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in August 1921, Husa has been an American citizen since 1959. He completed his studies at the Prague Conservatory, the Academy of Music, the Paris National Conservatory, and the Ecole Normale de Musique. His teachers included Arthur Honegger, Nadia Boulanger, Jaroslav Ridky, and Andre Cluytens.
Husa has received honorary doctorates from the Cleveland Institute of Music, Ithaca College, the New England Conservatory, and the Czech Academy of Musical Arts. Among numerous awards, he received the 1993 Grawemeyer Award for his Cello Concerto and a Pulitzer Prize for String Quartet No. 3. Some of his most recent works include Violin Concerto, String Quartet No. 4, Concerto for Orchestra, Concerto for Organ, and Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra, which was commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for Adolph Herseth and Sir Georg Solti.
BD: How did you get your start in music?
I started to compose at the beginning of World War II. At that time I studied the violin and learned piano, mostly from my sister. I had studied to become an engineer, but the universities were closed because of the war, and I was not able to continue my studies.
I then had to decide whether I wanted to pursue painting or music, and I chose music because Jaroslav Ridky, a professor at the Prague Conservatory, encouraged me. However, I didn't even attend an orchestra concert until 1940 when I was 19 years old, and I didn't have a music theory background.
BD: Who were your major compositional influences?
My influences between 1940 and 1945 were mainly Czechoslovakian composers as well as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms-I couldn't listen to French, Russian, or American music because it was forbidden to be performed or taught. The ideas of Czech composers Leos Janacek, Vitezslav Novak, Josef Suk, and, maybe to a lesser extent, Hungarian composers affected my writing. After the war ended in 1945, we could finally hear Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra.
In 1946, I took a fellowship in Paris where I studied with Arthur Honegger; I also met Nadia Boulanger by chance. I didn't study with her formally because she considered my mind to be already made up-good teachers have to have an influence in their students' composing. She did incredible things for me. When I finished my String Quartet No. 1, she sent it to a conservatory in Boston, and I received a $400 Lili Boulanger prize. It was in Paris from 1946-54 that I could develop my skills, try new things, and listen to the sounds of Honegger, Prokofiev, and Copeland.
BD: What areas did you study other than composition?
I studied conducting at the Prague Conservatory; many courses were similar for composers and conductors. I read Hector Berlioz's Memoirs in which he says that composers had better learn how to conduct because otherwise no one will play their music. This is an accurate statement because for many conductors this is new, unknown music, and a composer can explain his music as he conducts. I continued my conducting studies in Paris at the Ecole Normale.
BD: What brought you to the US?
In 1954, I was invited to apply to Cornell for a position as orchestra conductor. By that time I was already married and had two girls; we all wanted to see the US, and we thought the three-year appointment would be ideal. Little did I know then that I would spend the next 32 years teaching at Cornell. When I came to the States I found that teaching in a university was the ideal position for a composer. I still think this today because of the possibilities the university provides a composer. The amount of available printed music, both new and old, in the university libraries was amazing, and much music, old and new, was performed on campuses.
The teaching duties were not too time-consuming until the second year when I had to begin conducting the orchestra. The preparation alone took a lot of time. I loved working with young people whose minds were not set in a rigid viewpoint that classical was "good" and modern was "not good." The university offered me tenure after I had been there two years; thereafter, we had four children, and they and my wife loved Ithaca.
BD: How did you become interested in writing music for wind ensemble?
When I lived in Prague and Paris, I never wrote for wind ensemble because most Czech wind music was connected with military or popular music. When I was in Paris I heard concerts given by the band of La Garde R�publicaine, and I was amazed by the size of the group and the quality of their playing.
Basically, I had never written for a wind group because no one had asked me to. I had always admired wind music, but as a violinist I was initially drawn more to the orchestral sound. There were occasionally concerts in the castle grounds in Prague, and they also consisted of wind music-Mozart and Haydn serenades, Beethoven marches, and some old Czech compositions for the winds. I loved to listen to them.
When I came to the US in 1954 I heard two bands, one from Cornell, and another from Ithaca College conducted by Walter Beeler. At one time I expressed interest in writing for the Cornell band, but I wasn't asked-however, I did write for the orchestra.
My love of the saxophone sound resulted in Elegy and Rondo and the Concerto for Saxophone. In 1960, then conductor of the Ithaca High School Band, Frank Battisti, asked me to write the Concerto for Saxophone with Donald Sinta as the soloist. I completed the concerto in 1967, but by then Battisti had left for a position at Baldwin Wallace, so the conductor of the Cornell Wind Ensemble, Maurice Stith, volunteered to premier the piece. This was the first piece I wrote for band. I then received a commission from the Ithaca College Band from conductor Kenneth Snapp for the MENC convention in January 1969.
I started to teach during the summer in 1968 at Northwestern University, where I had a long conversation with John Paynter about writing for band. The enthusiasm of the wind ensemble conductors at this time was incredible, and the leaders had established the American band as a terrific ensemble. People like Revelli, Fennell, Battisti, and Beeler believed that composers today should write for band, and they immediately performed the music.
BD: What do you think the future holds for wind bands?
The ensembles today are still terrific. But I think that attitudes toward new music have changed a little bit over the last 30 to 35 years. People like Battisti and Beeler wanted something new and were very adventurous; they were looking for compelling forms and sounds. I am surprised that today's conductors think I write somewhat wild music. The music of today is more traditional than it was even 20 or 30 years ago. New music is played, but the public doesn't like to hear dissonance. This is not surprising because after every period of revolution there is a period of normal evolution.
BD: What is your favorite of your works?
Concerto for Orchestra, commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta, and Apotheosis of This Earth, which was written for William Revelli at the University of Michigan and premiered in 1970. Revelli had also conducted
Karel Husa is currently working on a work for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Beijing (AFP) Jan 7, 2011
China will eventually have a military powerful enough to compete with the United States, state media said Friday ahead of the visit of US Defence Secretary Robert Gates.
The claim in a newspaper editorial followed reports that China had completed a prototype of a stealth fighter and after a top US military official said Beijing was stepping up efforts to deploy a "carrier-killer" missile system.
"Whether the reported new weapons are true or not, in the long run, China will own first-class weapons that are capable of competing with the US war machine," said the Global Times, known for its nationalist tone.
Gates arrives in China on Sunday to smooth over tense defence relations between the two countries -- one year after Beijing cut military ties with Washington in protest against US arms sales to rival Taiwan.
"Apparently, the US is not ready to treat China as a major power. They cannot accept the fact that China will sooner or later possess a first-class military," the editorial said.
"They are too used to the old power structure, in which China and other developing countries have long been treated unfairly."
In an interview last week with a Japanese newspaper, the head of the US Pacific Command Admiral Robert Willard said China was pushing development of "carrier-killers" and aimed to project its influence beyond its regional waters.
US military analysts have warned China is developing an anti-ship ballistic missile -- a new version of its Dongfeng 21 missile -- that could pierce the defences of even the most sturdy US naval vessels and has a range far beyond Chinese waters.
Whereas Gates's Chinese counterpart Liang Guanglie has said that China will push forward with modernisation of its military thanks to a booming economy, the United States is facing major cuts.
Citing "dire" fiscal pressures, Gates on Thursday proposed deeper cuts than planned in US military programmes, scaling back ground forces for the first time since the 1990s.
Gates, in a compromise with the White House, said the 78 billion dollars in cuts and other measures would result in a slower pace of growth in defence budgets over the next five years, despite earlier plans to keep spending at a higher rate.
China has long described its military build-up as "defensive" in nature but top armed forces officials have recently made increasingly strong statements about its quest for a powerful military.

|June 1996Number 14
|JEL classification: F3, F4
Authors: José Campa and Linda S. Goldberg
Although large changes in real exchange rates have occurred during the past decades, the real implications of these movements remain an empirical question. Using detailed data from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Japan, we examine the implications of exchange rates for time series of sectoral investment. Both theoretically and empirically we show that investment responsiveness to exchange rates varies over time, positively in relation to sectoral reliance on export share and negatively with respect to imported inputs into production. Important differences exist in investment endogeneity across high and low markup sectors, with investment in low markup sectors significantly more responsive to exchange rates. Cross-country differences in investment response are only partially explained by industrial organization arguments.
For a published version of this report, see José Manuel Campa and Linda S. Goldberg, "Investment, Pass-Through and Exchange Rates: A Cross-Country Comparison," International Economic Review 40, no. 2 (May 1999): 287-314.

I wanna make a wallpaper website and I would like to have a template where everything is big. I will offer HD wallpapers. I don't want tiny screenshot… I want something beautiful who look amazing on HD monitor (1600×1200++).
I'm willing to give time to work on the coding part if it's required. I am pro with PHP /MySQL/JS.
Thanks for reading me.
I don't think there are templates or themes specially for wallpaper project, as you can't find anything suitable searching for "wallpaper". But I think you find a lot of interesting for you reviewing the "creative" category of WP or HTML themes.

India's biggest generic drugmaker Ranbaxy Laboratories swung into a net loss in the third quarter ended September from a profit a year earlier, owing to a weak rupee and foreign exchange losses.
The Indian firm, majority-owned by Japan's Daiichi Sankyo, posted a consolidated net loss of 4.5 billion rupees ($73 million), against a 7.5 billion rupee profit a year earlier.
Adverse currency movements in the quarter dragged the company into the red, Ranbaxy said.
"There was a net charge of 3.6 billion rupees during the quarter on account of forex items," it added.
Sales for Ranbaxy, headquartered in Gurgaon near New Delhi, rose just 3.05 percent to 27.5 billion rupees in the quarter from a year earlier, just below analyst expectations.
"The company continues to grow in its focus branded markets in Asia, East Europe, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and Africa," said Arun Sawhney, managing director of Ranbaxy.
Ranbaxy has been hit by controversy after the US Food and Drug Administration placed bans on drugs from three of its manufacturing plants.
In May, Ranbaxy had pleaded guilty to US charges of selling adulterated antibiotic, epilepsy and other drugs, and agreed to a record $500 million fine.
The firm assured shareholders in September that it was taking "stringent steps" to resolve a US ban on imports of medicines made at its newly renovated showcase plant in northern India.
Ranbaxy is more than 60 percent owned by Japan's Daiichi Sankyo, which bought the firm in 2008 believing its dominance in cheaper generic medicines and developing markets would help the Japanese firm grow sales as Daiichi's drugs came off patent.

The longue duree of genetic ancestry: multiple genetic marker systems and
celtic origins on the atlantic facade of europe.
McEvoy B, Richards M, Forster P, Bradley DG.
Department of Genetics, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.
Celtic languages are now spoken only on the Atlantic facade of Europe,
in Britain and Ireland, but were spoken more widely in western and central
Europe until the collapse of the Roman Empire in the first millennium a.d.
has been common to couple archaeological evidence for the expansion of Iron
elites in central Europe with the dispersal of these languages and of Celtic
ethnicity and to posit a central European "homeland" for the Celtic peoples.
More recently, however, archaeologists have questioned this "migrationist"
of Celtic ethnogenesis. The proposition of a central European ancestry
be testable by examining the distribution of genetic markers; however,
although Y-chromosome patterns in Atlantic Europe show little evidence of
European influence, there has hitherto been insufficient data to confirm
this by
use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Here, we present both new mtDNA data from
Ireland and a novel analysis of a greatly enlarged European mtDNA database.
show that mtDNA lineages, when analyzed in sufficiently large numbers,
patterns significantly similar to a large fraction of both Y-chromosome and
autosomal variation. These multiple genetic marker systems indicate a shared
ancestry throughout the Atlantic zone, from northern Iberia to western
Scandinavia, that dates back to the end of the last Ice Age.

Back To The Gym – Day Two
Day 2: There is a difference in 'working through the pain' and knowing there is a problem.
The title of this post is a little deceiving since my program actually started before day one, with my eating habits. Tamara is put together a great menu for us that has a great mixture of carbs, fat and protein to keep his powered up. She told me it's 'top secret', so I won't publish it here, but I will say I'm not starving to death.
Day two at Fit For Life is a cautionary tale. After day one's successes, I felt pretty good. Day two was probably an over estimation of my ability from so much time off from the gym. I click a mouse a lot during the day, so curling weights proved to be a bit more painful than I expected. I also had a little pinched nerve that gave me burning shoulder pain that cut short a few of my exercises. I also managed to pop myself in the head with an iron bar. Don't ask.
Even with all my little personal challenges, Tamara keeps me motivated and we were able to work a bunch of other muscle groups instead.
Coming up: Day 3, legs!

I think it was from Jan B Hi Guys Back in the day someone, I think it was Jan B, posted to the list a single file executable that was a Popup to prevent a user from running a program. I can't find it in my massive archive of files. The idea of the program was that it was just a simple executable that you renamed to the the programs executable filename; and replaced the file, that you did not want the user to be able to run. When the user tried to run the program they would get a popup box telling them that it wasn't allowed instead of the program running. I am sure that I probably posted this for download someplace out there on the web... but I am sorry Dave...my mind is going. Clues anyone? Jim Kenzig http://www.kenzig.com

Ever wonder how optical illusions work? Are you curious about colorblindness? Do you have an inquisitive mind? Curiosity is a key ingredient to becoming a scientist.
A series of brief, kid-friendly videos from NIH answers children's questions about becoming a scientist and the variety of jobs researchers can do. The online "Ask a Scientist" videos use fun animations and graphics to teach children about vision and science.
You can find additional eye-related resources for children at http://nei.nih.gov/kids/. Get details on sports-related eye safety. Link to an animated website that has easy-to-understand information about eye biology and the visual system. Educators can download a printable activity book, a "fun fact" calendar, and other resources targeted to children in elementary or middle school.
If you work with kids or have children of your own, consider adding these resources to your activities, and share them with your colleagues. Let children know: It's never too early to start taking care of your eyes.

Prohibition vs. The Iron Horse NYC
Mo Mandel / Wednesday, December 17, 2014, 11:00pm
I got paid to ride a swing!!!! My brother may be a partner in a law firm and have the governor of California's number on speed dial, but… I got paid to ride a swing! With a hot chick named "Dirty D" on my lap! Who needs to be your parents' favorite when you can lay claim to that?!
This episode was intense right from the start. You got the sense that both Ziggy and Michael not only didn't feel comfortable in each other's bars, they kinda disliked them and what they represented. And I think that that got in the way of each of them being as effective as they could have been. Ziggy, aside from trying a few free drinks, never seemed to click with the Prohibition vibe. He claimed that they needed to up the authenticity of the costumes, and yet he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt the whole time. I don't remember seeing that look in The Untouchables.
As for Michael, that dude never even tried the swing! He said he doubted that it brought people in, and yet he never even tried it!!! C'mon, Mike, just take one ride! He seemed to focus purely on the drinks and not really take in the fullness of that bar's truly unique atmosphere, and thus his changes were not as broad and effective as they could have been. And I think that's why the profits only went up a mere handful of percentages. You have to really know what foundation you're working from before you start to build.
As for me, I got to see a ton of hot scantily clad women while shooting this episode and learn a lot about bars, myself and my stomach. For instance, it turns out if that I have ten sugary sweet cocktails and then ride a swing, I will throw up in the bathroom while the producers race around trying to figure out where I am… Yup, like I said when Dirty D was pressed against my face, "I have the best job in the world."
Take that, older better brother!

Jun 30, 2013 - From staff reportsThe site is roughly 10 miles southeast of Jeffrey City.
The Bureau of Land Management Lander Field Office is seeking public comments on a proposed gas well on public land roughly 10 miles southeast of Jeffrey City in Fremont County.
International Petroleum Exploration Operating Company has submitted an application for permit to drill for the International Petroleum Green Mountain Federal No. 1 Gas Well. The proposed project area would be located on BLM surface in Section 35, Township 28 North, Range 92 West.
The proposed well would be located in the existing Found Soldier Unit, which has been in effect since 2004. In addition, a right-of-way would be granted to accommodate access to the well location. The anticipated life of the proposed project is about 20 years.
The Lander Field Office will prepare an environmental assessment to analyze the impacts of the proposed project. Information, including a map of the area, can be found on the website at: www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/info/NEPA/documents/lfo/ipeoc.html.
Public input is valuable early in the process and will enable the BLM to develop a well-informed EA. Comments should be submitted by July 26, 2013, and may be e-mailed to email@example.com. Please include "International Petroleum" in the subject line. Comments also may be mailed to Bureau of Land Management, Lander Field Office, Attn: Andrew Gibbs, 1335 Main St., Lander, WY 82520.
Before including an address, phone number, e-mail address or other personal identifying information know that the entire comment --including personal identifying information --may be made publicly available at any time.
For more information, contact BLM Natural Resource Specialist Andrew Gibbs at 332-8487 or email@example.com.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska.
The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
In fiscal year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the states where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.

Liv Tyler Covers Marie Claire UK March 2012
Set to return to the big screen in the upcoming movie "Robot and Frank," the lovely Liv Tyler takes over the cover of the March 2012 issue of Marie Claire UK magazine.
The 34-year-old actress pretties up the Marc Hom shot front page while dressed in a top, skirt and earrings from Prada while opening up about moving back to NYC, always wanting to be a mother and her obsession with capturing moments through pictures.
Highlights from Miss Tyler's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out Marie Claire UK!
On returning to New York City last summer for Milo's sake:
"I'm always trying to figure out what's best for him [Milo] as a person. The kind of person I want him to be. The values I want him to have. Much as I love my friends and LA, I want him to have more of an East Coast upbringing. The sense of community. Walking to school four blocks away."
On the healing process (of divorce) being a work in progress:
"I feel like I'm learning every day how to get through life and the world. Not just from the divorce. I felt that way throughout my whole life, ever since I was young person. I've had a lot of big things happen to me."
On her unconventional upbringing making her want to provide her son with stability:
"Absolutely. It's brought up a tremendous amount of issues, concerns and worries for me, being a mother, and how much that meant to be based on my childhood and what I went through. Wonderful, beautiful things and difficult things. It was always a dream of mine to be a mother. I didn't ever really dream of being an actress. I used to dream of being a singer, but I always dreamed of being a mother ever since I was young girl."
On rumors that she considered quitting acting:
"I've never really stopped. Even when I was a kid I'd work for a year straight and then I would take a year off. It always felt natural to live my life again and store things up to put in my next performance."
On her love of collecting pictures:
"Obsessively, I have thousands of pictures on my phone. Why am I so fascinated with capturing moments? I'll tell you why. Because I've had so much change in my life. My whole life things have constantly changed, so psychologically I'm sure I'm quite sentimental. I want to remember the feeling, not only what it looks like. When it's happening, it's so wonderful but I know it's gonna change or not gonna last. Everything changes so I want to remember it because I feel grateful for it."

Maatkit's mk-query-digest learns about ApdexTue, Nov 9, 2010 in Databases Open Source
This month's Maatkit release, which just hit the download servers, contains a new feature for mk-query-digest: Apdex scores. The Apdex performance index is a sensible metric of how satisfactory the response time to a request is. Of all the scientific metrics I've seen, it's the most practical; and of all the practical ones I've seen, it's the most scientific.
To use this feature, you need to know what the Apdex threshold means, and you need to know how to configure this in mk-query-digest.
And then you can ask and answer practical questions such as "which classes of queries against this MySQL server are not satisfying users?" Or, because mk-query-digest supports the HTTP protocol, you can pose the same question about your web application overall.
I'm Baron Schwartz, the founder and CEO of VividCortex. I am the author of High Performance MySQL and lots of open-source software for performance analysis, monitoring, and system administration.

Well, I'm a little behind in my sharing, but I wanted to let everyone know how excited I am to be offering a series of classes at Stitch Cleveland (actually in Lakewood) on surface design and fabric.
I'll be offering a class on stamping on fabric, first. We'll cover ink pads, acrylic paints, and even color lifting using stamps. (I may even through in a crash course on Angelina fibers, too, just because they are so much fun to stamp on….) The next class will be foiling and paintstiks, and we'll cover stencilling, painting, and rubbings, and stamping with those two mediums. (Participants will get to take home a set of 3 mini paintstiks to keep on playing with. How cool is that?) The third class will feature projects using our altered fabric – coffee cuffs, magic card cases, and ATC's or postcards.
I love fabric and sewing, and I'm really thrilled to be sharing some of my altered art/mixed media sensibilities at Stitch.

DIY Lady Bug Costume
Written by Elessa, Posted in Blog, How To & DIY, Tutorials
For this Lady Bug Costume you will need:
- Any preferred Red Outfit
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue
- Headband
- Black Pipe Cleaner and Cute Socks
- Black and Red Pom Poms and Felt
- And Lady Bug Wings
Let's Dot The Dress
- Using 3 circular items begin to trace them onto the felt. I used my old white eyeliner pencil.
- Keep them close as possible to maximize your felt
- Cut out the dots
- Bring out your red outfit to begin gluing
- Place a piece of cardboard between the fabric to avoid gluing it together.
- Remember to place them strategically. You don't want anything funny.
- Hot Glue your dots and don't use too much glue.
- Finish your dots and clean up any glue strings after.
Time to work on your antenna
- Take 6 black pipe cleaners out. Use 3 per side.
- Begin braiding three together from end to end
- I am using an hold headband. Using a piece of felt will help decorate and hide the old glue.
- The felt may not reach the end but at least my ugly old glue is concealed
- Hot Glue it along the headband. Stretch it out a bit to keep it taunt.
- Next take your antenna and put it onto the headband
- Repeat this on the other side
- Next make sure they are even
- Now twist the pipe cleaner all the way up
- Split your red pom pom and apply glue to the middle. Stick your pipe cleaner inside. Hold it still for a few seconds.
- Now take your felt and cut a rectangle to the size you want your bow to be
- Fold your felt back and forth
- Using a piece of thread to secure the bow
- Apply some hot glue and add a black pom pom on top
- And finally apply a bit of glue to the antenna and place the bow on top
Let's Add Bows on the Socks Now
- Cut two identical rectangles from the piece of felt
- Fold both into a fan like before
- Secure by wrapping thread around the bow
- Apply hot glue and your black pom pom
- Before gluing onto the socks make sure you know if you want them on the back, side or front.
- Slip a piece of cardboard between the socks. Apply glue and press the bow down. Repeat this on the other side.
- And last glue on some goggly eyes on your lady bug wings for fun.
And you are ready!!
Thanks for reading and watching

The open world of the internet has led to a boom in independent artists. These artists come from all walks of life: Family men that are writers, daughters that are painters, uncles that draw comics, and many that make music. The dream of any artist is to create art and make a living doing what they love. This is possible with the internet, allowing any musician to create and sell music online.
The Benefits of Independence
Although many musicians and bands can reap the benefits of signing with a quality record label, the restrictions that come from being signed aren't for everyone. Being an independent artist means living a life that doesn't come with contractual requirements. Creating good music isn't matter of pumping out track after track, but of constructing a song from the debris of your own experiences.
Independence is freeing. Without the corporate overseer, any musician can create music that is full of passion and life. Independence also means that the artist can sell music online, sell music offline, and choose what places to play and what gigs to avoid.
There is a true freedom to being an independent artist. Many well-known bands have shunned the big labels and went independent. Many smaller artists are using the power of the internet to gain a loyal following. The internet has made it possible to sell music online and make a living, even without a fan base of millions. This is the why being independent is awesome.
Independence isn't easy
As with everything, there is a downside to being independent. A musician that earns a living without record company support can't be lazy. All too often, there are no off days. Every day as an independent artist is a workday. The artist must get up, learn the business side, learn to market work, learn promotion, and still create soul-moving productions. This is constant job where one lost day can lead to having to move out of the apartment or not paying the light bill. There may be times with an artist or band has to live on the road, constantly away from home and loved ones. The money doesn't come in without work and effort. Being independent requires a dedication to the craft that those working regular jobs don't have.
That doesn't mean being an independent musician or band isn't worth the price. There is also help that independents can find, both online and in the local community. Not all sides of the music creation process have to be handled by the artist; some can be farmed out to organizations with experience and desire to help.
Strengths versus weaknesses
An independent artist should take a step back and be honest. Every artist and band has strengths and weaknesses. With creative types, the strengths usually are creating music, creating art, writing music, writing stories, and anything thing else that takes imagination. The weaknesses are often on the business side: Promoting, marketing, distributing, and selling music.
Keeping the Balance
The best thing to do is to find people who can help in the areas that an artist is weak. Is there a friend that is a great promoter? See how they can help. Do the parents of one of the band members like marketing? Talk to them about it. What about distributing and selling music online? Many companies are available to help in that area.
Online distribution is the key.
With the internet as a free and open market, companies have started up to help the independent musician or band. Some of these companies are sharks, but others have a genuine interest in providing quality services without being a record label. One such company is called Ditto.
Started in a small flat in Birmingham, this company wasn't much in 2006. In the past seven years, the company has grown to help 30,000 artists produce and distribute music all over the world. Ditto isn't about controlling the music that an artist makes, but helping distribute the music to the various digital music stores on the web.
Ditto helps artists and bands so that creative minds can stay creative free. All royalties and sales belong to the artist, with Ditto only receiving a flat fee. Ditto Music doesn't control the rights to the tracks either, so the music stays with the artist.
Ditto offers many services for independents. These services range from helping independents start their own label, to generating bar codes, to helping the music get on the various charts. The founders of Ditto know what the independent artist is going through. These men are artists and have been in the same spot. With a foundation in helping artists and not fleecing them, Ditto has proven to be a friend in the industry.

At times you may feel as if you are riding an emotional roller coaster.
The best place to start is to seek support by talking to close family or friends.
Sometimes talking of your distress to those close to you can be difficult and painful.
It can help to talk to someone from outside of that circle who has been trained to listen and help you explore your feelings and assist you through your struggles.

Mike is so serious about going to college, but Sulley decides to take it lightly as he invites other monsters to join a rave party in what looks like a dormitory.
Sulley and his gang from "Monsters, Inc." have returned in a first ever teaser for "Monsters University". This time, the friendly furry blue monster takes his hilarious gang to college. Instead of studying, however, they throw a rave party in what looks like a dormitory. The only one who looks so serious about the college thing is the green monster Mike.
James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski are an inseparable pair, but that wasn't always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. The upcoming movie will unlock the door to how Sulley and Mike overcame their differences and became the best of friends.
Walt Disney Pictures will unleash "Monsters University" in the United States on June 21, 2013. Lining up in the voice cast ensemble are such actors as Steve Buscemi, Billy Crystal, John Goodman, John Ratzenberger, Frank Oz, Dave Foley and Joel Murray.

When some people see Google Glass, they may see a hot technology trend, an expensive distraction, or a threat to privacy. When some doctors see Google Glass, they see the potential for better, more efficient patient care. One of those doctors is Carl Spitzer, M.D., of Mill Valley, California. Spitzer and Craig Rosenberg, a Ph.D based in Seattle, have co-founded Healium, a startup dedicated to developing software for Glass with an eye on how wearable computing can help physicians. This latest technology development has particular significance for Spitzer, who is not only a practicing emergency physician at Marin General Hospital, but is also its chief medical informatics officer.

Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating! I had procrastinated on making a will, but finally decided to get it done. I was going in for surgery in a week, and I asked Jennifer if she could complete it before the surgery...and she delivered! Within days, she had the first drafts ready for me to review. Jennifer pointed out potential problems with how I had named beneficiaries in my life insurance policy and produced forms for me to send to my insurance representative to correct the issues. She was very attentive and thorough. It was a pleasure working with her, and I highly recommend Jennifer. She is - by far- the best Attorney I've had the experience of working with!
Posted by Mike
When my sister who lived in the Seattle area was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I called a friend who recommended Jennifer to do the estate planning that was needed as soon as possible. Jennifer understood the critical timing of what was going on and was not only extremely professional, but very compassionate and went beyond what most attorneys would ever do. She actually came to the hospital bed to facilitate gathering the wishes of my sister and to execute the necessary documents. She was able to structure the documents for the best interest of the family in every way. Jennifer and her team followed through for the months after my sister's death to help with the complicated settling of the estate. Our entire family strongly recommends Jennifer as an honest, trustworthy, compassionate and service oriented legal professional.
Posted by anonymous
Jennifer made our will and estate planning effortless! She was a delight to deal with as well as intelligent and timely. For most people these matters are very complicated but Jennifer and her staff made things easy to undersand and painless. I would definitely use her again and tell anyone looking for a top notch attorney to call her.

For example, the Pentium 4 has 128 registers internally and effectively is a load-store architecture. I think the main reason for poor performance from Lightning is that it generates quite poor code. The emphasis on speed of compilation seems to have resulted in an instruction set choice that is the intersection of that on all platforms, and so is relatively inexpressive. The code generation is a direct translation from lightning instructions to assembler, with no optimisations such as register allocation performed. Consequentially the CPUs resources are underutilised and there is a lot of memory traffic. Net result is poor performance. N.

The Freestyle Dining program- well, it did not : Norwegian Jade Cruise Review by psychopharmacist
Overall Member Rating
The Freestyle Dining program- well, it did not
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
Let's get the positives out front:
1) the housekeeping staff was wonderful and responsive. Kudos!
2) the "finale" on-board (at sea) entertainment with the Cirque-esq performers was outstanding. Lost the magician, though.
...and that's about it for the positives for a two-week sailing in Italy, Montenegro, the Greek Isles, etc.
Now the negatives:
1) Booking was a difficult situation, and the situation didn't get any better. We got a good price... but not what was listed as balcony prices on the Norwegian website. The Norwegian booking agent- Mr. Souza- was competent and professional, and referred us to his supervisor, Mr. Solis, who stated that: "This must be a website error. We do not have any balcony rooms at the price you see." This, after the reviewer sent a screenshot More showing the price on the web!
Mr. Souza had sent a confirmation e-mail, stating that this reviewer could contact him anytime. Well, after week of e-mail correspondence and several unanswered telephone calls, this reviewer once again contacted the supervisor, Mr. Solis This time the reason for the "error" was that there was a fire near the Norwegian office, and that fire interrupted all correspondence.
2) The question- from the original time of booking- was about getting a dining reservation time. The family has cruised before on other carriers, and indeed, this was not an issue. All we got was that the Jade has "Freestyle Dining"- and never got a good description of what that meant. The message the family received was that one of our party would have to go to the maître d'hôtel EVERY MORNING to get a dining time for that day.
Not the way to have a relaxing vacation...and it turns out that this is indeed NOT the procedure for dining.
3) The "Freestyle Dining" concept- indeed, one needs to know that this is a marketing tool that Norwegian is using to try to differentiate their product and services from the rest of the industry. Indeed, this does differentiate. And the family did not like the concept.
Here it is: there are two "main" dining rooms that accommodate most guests. There are several "specialty" restaurants (some at a fee, some at a significant fee) that may be visited for dining. All of the restaurants are listed on a computer screen, with times and little colored boxes showing the demand for seats by other cruisers. Red colored box? Long wait, "...but worth the wait."
The "main" dining rooms have THE SAME MENU EVERY DAY. Oh, each day, there is a "chef's option" but do not expect an "Italian Day" or a "Lobster Day" or a "French Day." Nope! That's where the "specialty restaurants" (at a fee!) come in.
When arriving at the main restaurants, even when the computer shows "green" or "yellow" one will be in line with other travelers who have been watching the screens for availability.
"At Norwegian, we suggest sharing of tables. Please let us know if you are willing to share your table."
This is actually one of the reasons that the family cruises- to meet other people from other walks of life, and to develop over a week-long (or, in our case, two weeks-long) camaraderie with those other cruisers and the wait staff.
Again, NOPE! The wait staff could not "care" about those dining. The service was (relatively) quick and professional (but not up to cruise standards at other flagged vessels.) One son and his wife waited at one of the "options"- not a paid one, and one with a very limited menu- for 40 minutes just to get the salad course delivered.
This "Freestyle" may drive cruising guests to the more expensive "extra fee" specialty restaurants, but that is actually hardly a "Freestyle." Indeed, this is a marketing tool- call it what it is.
O.K., let's continue with the deficits, and the deficit at the dining experience.
4) This reviewer called the Norwegian Shore Excursions TO BOOK A MEAL. The Norwegian website was down for almost a month, but by golly, we cruisers kept getting e-mails asking for guests to book shore excursions and specialty dining...but then the guests were unable to do so online!
Finally, this reviewer was able to book a special meal at the Moderno Churrascaria Brazilian Restaurant for the Sunday in Venice (when the boat was offloading some guests from the previous week and taking on others for the upcoming week;s itinerary. This was to be the "Mother's Day" present from the family to the spouse of this reviewer.
Well, when that Sunday arrived, the Norwegian Jade informed the family that the Moderno was to be closed that night, and "they were sorry." The Moderno is not open on the first day of a cruise, it turns out (even though this was the 8th day for our family.) This reviewer went to the specialty dining reservation desk at the customer service area in the Centrum, and indeed, received another apology. The first available time? The next night, at 7:30 p.m. We took it.
When we arrived at the Moderno, another set of apologies, and the offer of a bottle of wine gratis from the wine list. A nice touch.
But the food? Awful. This was not like a churrascaria that one might experience onshore, at home. There is a very limited offering of meats, and the salad bar was about the size of one's kitchen table at home.
One of the sons tried to "make the trip better" by booking the family at another (for a fee) specialty restaurant- this one the Italian table. The food? Awful. This reviewer's wife could not even finish her food- the salt was overwhelming.
This reviewer's wife tried to salvage the dining experience by booking everyone at the Steak House. Again, what a appointment's. The service was mediocre and the food, well, at a Stateside Outback Steakhouse.
Not yet ready to throw in the towel, another of the sons booked the family at the Oriental Restaurant. The sushi (had to order "extra" in addition to the fee for this specialty dining experience) was acceptable to all- but the cuisine still did not meet expectations.
The salt was pretty much overwhelming the food throughout this cruise, by the way. Have a poor quality of food? Oversalt it!
The buffets on the 12th deck? Again do not look for significant changes in the menu offerings. The family actually took 4 of the evening meals at the buffet because the overall dining experience was so disappointing.
Norwegian takes this concept of the "Freestyle" dining to the extreme- at the last sailing night, the variety show (again, superb!) ended with the performers admonishing the guests to arise, clap hands, and sing: "We are all Norwegians now!"
Not this cruiser and is family. Never again, never with the Freestyle concept.
Check-in, getting on the ship, and disembarkation were without comment- pretty much the standard throughout the industry.
5) Here is one thing that really stuck in this reviewer's craw- if you want to change money (like dollars into euro) or cash a check or...well, anything financial. there is a US$10 fee for each transaction. Most travelers come to holiday/vacation with large bills, rather a a wad of small ones. Again, NOPE! Bring a wad of small bills, else you may have difficulty tipping ashore, negotiating with taxis, etc. This reviewer understand that having large amounts of currency aboard is a capital investment by Norwegian, but this is an investment that needs to be made!
6) Shore excursions? The best way to describe these is "O.K."- not spectacular. There was one (not enough room on this form)- in Katakolon (Olympia): "Best of Olympia" which was BY FAR the best shore excursion on this trip.
Overall, the family tried to "rate" Norwegian with other flagged carriers. Here is the very unscientific results:
Best- Celebrity
Next- Royal Caribbean
Next - and really close to RCL- Carnival
Next- Princess
Last- Norweigian Less
Published 06/12/14
Cabin review: 9650, 9148, and 9648
Not bad rooms. The cabin # 9148 had an automatic door that opens to the balcony, and twice it shorted out and had to be reset by maintenance.

Samsung ML-3051ND
Samsung ML-3051ND Laser Printer (30 PPM, 1200x1200 DPI, 64MB, PC/Mac)PCWorld Rating
The Samsung ML-3051ND should easily satisfy the printing needs of a small office with several busy users. It handles paper well and produces fine quality text and images at high speeds. However, at $299 (as of 8/4/2006), it's pricier than the similarly configured Brother HL-5250DN, which in the past has received our Best Buy award.
A paper drawer at the base of the ML-3051ND holds up to 250 sheets. A multipurpose tray folds down from the front to accommodate an extra 50 sheets, or a short stack of 5 envelopes (which you can't feed from the main paper tray). You can add a single optional 250-sheet paper tray for $149, increasing the paper capacity to a 550-sheet maximum. The top output bin holds 150 sheets, but you can also pull open a rear exit to let single sheets of thicker media emerge without creasing or bending. The built-in duplexer avoids hassles by printing double-sided documents without user intervention.
The ML-3051ND's control panel features eight buttons for configuring the printer and an LCD that shows two lines of text. Both came in handy when we had to assign an IP address while connecting the printer to the PC World Test Center network. Once the printer was installed on the network, we found it easy to use the comprehensive features of its embedded Web server to administer the printer. The ML-3051ND comes with Windows drivers for GDI, PCL, and PostScript.
Toner cartridges for the ML-3051ND come in two capacities, rated for 4000 and 8000 pages. The 4000-page cartridge comes in the box with the printer. The 8000-page cartridge, which lets you achieve a low cost of 1.6 cents per page, sells for $130. There are no other user-serviceable parts, and Samsung sells parts only to dealers and service providers; you'll need to use such third parties to replace the transfer roller, fuser unit, and pickup roller (at relatively long intervals of 70,000, 80,000, and 150,000 pages, respectively). Over time, this would likely push up the per-page cost.
Our panel of judges was highly impressed by the quality of the ML-3051ND's printing. Text pages looked a little light, lacking some impact, but contained beautifully formed characters. Line art showed nicely distinct lines with just a touch of graininess and only faint waves in closely spaced blocks of parallel lines. Our grayscale image had fine detail and smooth tonal transitions, marred only by some thin horizontal bands and moir
The printer also performed well in our speed tests. It churned out text at 20.1 pages per minute, which almost matches our currently top-rated small office laser, the Brother HL-5250DN, and several much more expensive printers. At 8.8 ppm, its graphics speed was good, but slower than the Brother HL-5250DN's 9.6 ppm, and more in line with the other small-office lasers we've tested recently.
The Samsung ML-3051ND offers fast, quality printing with a built-in duplexer, which should appeal to many small offices.

Networked laser is a solid performer that offers good paper handling and a built-in duplexer.
- Produces excellent quality output
- Competitive print speeds
- No user-servicable parts

The Joy of Sacrifice
[Thought questions for Sacrifices October 16, 2013]
1. We will return. Three days and many steps after God's command to offer his son, Abraham stood where he could see the mountain. It was here Abraham puts a voice to his own faith as he speaks to the two young men who came with them. God would, indeed, provide. Gen. 22:5 He told them that he AND the lad would return to them. Centuries later the same tone was heard by the fiery furnace. God is able, "but if not they were ready to die. In answer to the question, where is the lamb? we hear the answer..God will provide himself a lamb. That was a promise we can see in the shadow of the cross, when God provided….Himself, THE Lamb. What is the unspoken promise of God's command to Abraham to offer his son? Can we hear God's sometimes unspoken promises as we follow His commands?
2. He provides. One of the highest compliments for a father in many cultures is that he is a good provider for his family. Our Creator gives us the first glimpse of the God who provides. He provides the world, then moves in a little closer to provide the garden. He provided the solution to the sin problem. How do you see God, as provider during the Edenic period? Abraham understood the God who provides. He also understood the sacrificial system, as did his son Isaac. What part of the wilderness sanctuary service is seen in this pre-figuration sacrifice? What are the parallels between the cross and the sacrifice at Moriah? What has He provided for you in all areas of your life?
3. Unblemished. How many of us would like to receive a gift for our birthday or a special day and find that it was damaged, dirty, or just a left over? Not many. Exodus 12:5 says the animal sacrifice should be young and without blemish. Abraham was, in the times in which he lived, a rich man. It would have been a simple matter for him to offer any number of unblemished animals to God. Why Isaac? Isaac did not fit the description given of the requirements for a sacrificial animal. Whom did Isaac represent? Was Isaac to be a sin offering, an offering of dedication, or another offering? What do you do when God asks a seemingly unreasonable sacrifice of you?
4. The Mystery of redemption. What is the most mysterious aspect of redemption? Is it fair for the God of all to be forced into submission to the ravages of sin? Or was He? The Israelites were in danger, we are told, of assuming that the sacrifices they offered were sufficient in and of themselves. What else was needed? What was the ultimate sacrifice that would destroy sin in all its manifestations? Why were other sacrifices called for by God?
5. Me, a sacrifice? In the book of Romans, Paul pleads with the believers in the early Christian church to present their bodies a living sacrifice to God. What does that mean to you? If you rushed off the edge of a bridge and plunged to your death, would that be a living sacrifice? If you spent your life in joyful praise to God, meeting the needs of those around you, would that be a living sacrifice? What is the most painful aspect of giving yourself as a living sacrifice to God? Why is it worth it?
6. The goal of the sacrificial system. If there is but one goal of the entire sacrificial system, what is it? Why doesn't God require the sacrificial offerings of animals today? Wouldn't that remind us of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross? Were God's people in the wilderness saved the same way you and I are saved? How should you and I participate in the sacrificial system today?
7. The challenge of being a living sacrifice. Was Jesus a living sacrifice? Does He offer guidance and support for you and me so that we will follow His example? Can God remove every sin from our lives? Then why do we keep sinning? Why doesn't God give up on us reprobates? Why does He keep loving us? Can we stop sinning? If not, what is the answer to the sin question in our lives? A member's lips trembled as she said, "I in Him, and He in me." Is that the answer?
