The holidays are here and daily routines are affected. Cooler weather has prompted sweaters and boots. Lights and decorations pop up everywhere, and lines are longer. Whether you rejoice or not, you can't help but feel that the air is different this time of year. What does this mean for writers? Any time we are diverted from our regular routines, we're experiencing something new: a moment.
Moments occur all around us, whether we are directly involved, or simply observing others.
You pay for your coffee at a coffee shop, something people do all the time and don't think twice. The barista sets your cup on the counter, smiles, and says thank you. You say thank you back, which is his queue to turn immediately to the next customer in line. The exchange is over and he's done with you, just like that. It's not rude. It's routine. Baristas hear thank you and you're welcome all day long. For them to move on to the next order is merely habit and no one questions it. We all want our coffee right? But, what happens when that routine is broken?
Personal essays can be shaped around a moment.
Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure, a memoir, writes about a drunken event he calls, "the lowest moment of my life" in his humorous personal essay, "From the Diaries of Pussy-Cake (The night it all went wrong)" (The New Yorker, June 10, 2013). In this scene, he shows up at his non-girlfriend's house when he knows her not-yet-ex-boyfriend is there, and pounds on the door. He's let in and screaming ensues, but not in the way you'd imagine. One would expect the girl to scream at Gary, angry at him for intruding on her Kevin-weekend. Or maybe Gary would throw punches at Kevin out of jealousy, fighting for his girl. Except that would be a moment that we're familiar with. That scenario has been written hundreds of times already. Shteyngart doesn't get published in The New Yorker for writing about typical moments. "But what's truly amazing about this scene," the author writes, "is that Pamela and I are essentially putting on a performance for Kevin. The two outsiders, one drunk out of his mind, the other depressed and eternally abandoned, are dancing and singing and weeping for Kevin, our God." This moment, the lowest in his life, is portrayed best by writing it as the climax of the essay. And as if he's writing backwards, everything else—his relationship with Pamela, where he lived, the job he worked, the impact she had on his friendships—all lead to this one scene.
Moments can be bigger than the characters in them.
The first line in Darin Strauss's memoir, Half a Life, is this: Half my life ago, I killed a girl. One moment he's a high school senior on his way to play miniature golf. The next, he's a killer. His entire book, including the impacts that this accident had on his life, those of the families involved, and his classmates, refers back to this single, life-changing moment. Darin's moment is huge, and it drives the entire book.
A moment from the past can be portrayed in multiple ways.
In The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother, James McBride recollects a moment when he was a child. After his white Jewish mother found out the milk he'd purchased was sour, she tries to return it to the store.
After a while, it was clear the man was not going to return her money, so she grabbed my hand and was heading toward the door, when he made another remark, something that I missed, something he murmured beneath his breath so softly that I couldn't hear, but it made the crowd murmur "Oooohhhh." Ma stiffened. Still holding the milk in her right hand, she turned around and flung it at him like a football. He ducked and the milk missed him, smashing into the cigarette cabinet behind him and sending milk and cigarettes splattering everywhere.
McBride follows this moment with his childlike interpretation of what happened. "I could not understand such anger," he says. He goes on to mention that he used to wish his mother were black. Then he switches to his adult point of view: "Now, as a grown man, I feel privileged to have come from two worlds." The narrator's interpretations of the moment mean everything in writing nonfiction. After McBride portrays both of his views separately, he then pulls them together with this little tidbit: "My view of the world is not merely that of a black man but that of a black man with something of a Jewish soul."
One moment can change the way we look at life.
When the movie Parenthood came out in 1989, I had only been married a year and didn't yet have any children. It was the cast that pulled me in: Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Dianne Wiest, Rick Moranis, Jason Robards, Martha Plimpton, and Keanu Reeves. I watched it when it aired later on HBO. I noticed how this movie represented several stages of parenthood, from pregnancy to adulthood. Equally represented are the situations: a single mom and her kids dealing with an absent father, a child behaving outside the norm, disagreements in parenting styles.
This might be a guide for me, I thought, so I recorded the next showing, labeled my VHS tape Parenthood, slid it into the VHS tape sleeve, and placed it on the shelf under the TV. I watched it when my son was born; four years later when my daughter was born; when he entered Kindergarten; and when she started riding her bicycle to school by herself. Each time, as my kids hit different stages in their lives, I was able to relate to something new in that same old movie.
Brilliant is the scene when Gil Buckman, played by Steve Martin, attends his daughter's play. He'd just been told before leaving the house that his wife, Karen, played by Mary Steenburgen, is pregnant with child number four, and he didn't take it very well. They argued and Grandma told him that life is a roller coaster. Now he sits in the school auditorium, watching his daughter's play, when his toddler son runs onto the stage and starts beating on another kid to protect his sister. The play is disrupted and the boy won't listen. You can see the anger in Gil's face and you hear the sound of a roller coaster slowly climbing the rail. He looks around the audience and parents are laughing. On stage, the kids and props and setting have turned to chaos. Then the roller coaster goes over the first hill and descends into its twists and jerks at full speed. Gil looks like he's about to explode and I find that I'm holding my breath. Finally, he looks over at his wife and she's laughing. She's living, not for order, but for the chaos that parenthood brings. I see the way he looks at her, and I feel that he's seeing her as more beautiful than ever. He smiles at her, and then he laughs, and then he rides. The scene has several moments—one loaded with tension, and another when Gil joins his wife in laughing. Moments of acceptance are powerful.
So as you breeze through these holidays, make sure to take your own moments to relax. Listen and observe the interactions of the people around you. Strangers, friends, family. Nod to those moments that are routine, and recognize those that aren't. What makes them different? Two kids straggling behind their mom fighting while walking through the mall is routine. Mom yelling for them to stop is routine. But if little Mary drops her coat on the floor and little Joey picks it up and tenderly drapes it back over his sister's shoulders—that is not routine. Did you smile? Did you elbow your friend to look and share in the moment? It is these peculiar exchanges between humans that make you think, or smile, or better yet, make you hold your breath. These are the moments that your writing deserves.

In view of the discussion on SCSI passthrough, it seems to me that this should be attached to an <interface> element: <devices> <interface type='hostdev'> <source> <address type='pci' bus='0x06' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </source> <mac address='00:16:3e:5d:c7:9e'/> <address type='pci' .../> </interface> </devices>Nice! I should have thought of this in my original proposal - it's the logical extension of having networks of type='hostdev'. I would prefer this as well, but it hits one of Dan's criticism's of the original proposal (from https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg01033.html ), so I didn't further consider using a change to <interface>:
I didn't have time now to read the whole original discussion, however...
On 08/22/2011 at 05:17 AM, Dan Berrange wrote:The issue I see is that if an application wants to know what PCI devices have been assigned to a guest, they can no longer just look at<hostdev> elements. They also need to look at <interface> elements. If we follow this proposed model in other areas, we could end up with PCI devices appearing as<disks> <controllers> and who knows what else.
... this is exactly what we're doing for <controller>. In that case, the <source> syntax is roughly the same that you use in a SCSI pool.
See here for how it arose: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01298.html
Since originally proposing the <hostdev> examples for network cards, I've switched to the opinion that this was in fact the wrong thing todo at all. The network devices should be in the <interface> element, so we have access to all the properties that this element allows for. My general view is that <hostdev> should be kept for "opaque" device assignment where we're not caring about what capabilities the device has. Just "blind" assignment of the PCI/USB/ISA hardware device based on their hardware addresses.

I know there are many US hosts that are waking up to disappointing news - imagine if you've already spent $ 1,300 to come to DC to celebrate our first woman president?
Of course I will offer to refund if I re-book. Right? Policy is strict.
As much as they wanted to be here had their candidate won, I'm sure they do NOT want to be here since she lost.
I thought she was being a bit presumptuous.
Hi @dcmooney,
Yes, just saw the results. This is very very bad news. My sympathies to all Americans. Though perhaps we should be offering sympathies to everyone, as this is bad news for everyone.
It belatedly occurs to me that you might be talking about your reservation. And yes, you could refund if you rebook. Unless your guest tries playing the extenuating circumstances card. She might just discover that she has been taken suddenly and violently ill.
Can I come live in your tower room? With my three kids?
But is there a risk to me if I tell her I'll refund her if I rebook?
Do I message her and say "You may cancel the reservation; if I re-book for those dates I will refund your money?" Is this how it works?
I've seen hosts say they do this; just want to understand.
I should probably let the more experienced hosts give advice, but why not just hold off for now and not say anything? Can't you refund her later as and when you want? Is there a time limit?
LOL. We've been having extra fun here today, ourselves. Did you hear our fun Indian news? It wasn't as momentous as the fun US news. More annoying than momentous. The criminal lunatic who calls himself the Indian Prime Minister has withdrawn all the Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes in circulation. That's most of the paper money (by value) in circulation in India. And much of India runs on money, much of it part of the underground economy. Which is why this has been done, of course. It's an attempt to flush out illegal/underground money. Though it's not going to change anything, either.
She's a new user - only one review. I'm concerned she didn't even look at the cancellation policy…
I didn't see the last bit before replying
Yes, she can take ill and cancel - if she does it now! Not the day before arrival!
That's a good argument for suggesting she cancel now and telling her I'll refund if possible. This way she won't be tempted to do something duplicitous later.
Yes, I heard that on the radio. Did you hear the momentous news from the UK? Not the news that Prince Harry has a 'mixed race' American girlfriend. No. The big news on BBC radio was that the chocolate bar, Toblerone, has been reduced in size causing a consumer uproar.
So while Americans were agog watching the election and Indians were concerned about the currency, the UK was fussing about chocolate. That's what I call priorities
@dcmooney I am still processing the news myself. But the couple who had booked our basement apartment in DC (at a relatively low premium and on a flexible policy because we had yet to get a review) had naturally canceled this morning. I sent her a note to say I understood and commiserated with her.
Friends and guests had been telling me that the rates I was charging her for inauguration week ($150/night) was a steal and should have charged more. Partially because of that and perhaps partially out of pique I've upped my rates to a ridiculously high $250/night for that week and $350 around the 20th and set my cancelation policy to moderate.
Maybe someone will pay it, maybe not. I don't know. Maybe I don't want to host that weekend. Who knows. Maybe I'll get over it by Thanksgiving.
What's a daily rate that makes up for for pasting on a sincere-looking and gracious host persona on a week that many of us may find difficult to cheer on? (This is a rhetorical question, of course)
FYI I was netting $260 a night, but that's for 5 people. It's only $125 more a night than my high-season rates. I had those dates blocked, but had just turned off a pricing service so was manually putting in my rates and BAM she booked me. I felt like I could have gotten more but of course had to accept it.
You can do it - you can wear your lovely host mask as they money goes into your account. What's the other option? Pass up a windfall AND be disappointed politically?
Try to check what % of hotel are already booked.
If close to 100% you can get higher price
Yes, and because she booked immediately after the days being opened up for a few minutes, I'm confident I can re-book for more. When I was using Beyond Pricing they had those days priced at over $300 back in September. (Although in truth I did not find Beyond Pricing's pricing helpful, it still tells me the increase could be considerable).
Does anyone know the answer to my question? Do I write her now and allow her to cancel with a promise of refund if I do get a booking?
Obviously you're not responsible for the results of the election, nor medias in denial trying to brainwash citizens (not a Trump supporter here, but I had seen this one coming, French medias are in denial of our populist candidate).
I would not proceed to a refund. Your guest took a bet, had 1 chance over 2, she lost. End of the story.
Yes, I see that view, too. My bad for even having the dates open and accepting the reservation - I had qualms about someone so sure of what was going to happen.
In part I'm irked that my first thought this morning was about my airbnb guest…I had been concerned about it.
But it's not my problem, right?
Only fact for my own self is that I think I could have gotten mo money had I kept the dates blocked until this morning.
You are sure she will not come but to be sure that she is canceling and not getting your date blocked for nothing maybe you can offer a small refund now…to get dates open or see first if she is canceling after you are saying no refund.
Interesting idea; thanks.
Strict is strict. Keep the money and buy your kids some Christmas presents.
Ha! The money she was paying is about what we spend on ALL of Christmas!!
Now that I think about it some more, she's coming from CA, so surely she booked plane tickets as well?

It's a strange world we live in. When I started this blog, I had a flip phone. For serious! Now the Apple Watch is coming soon, and I figured I'd get one, but now I'm not so sure. I had a chance to grab a Pebble Steel for $150, which isn't chump change, but I grabbed it anyway. My misgivings were grave. After all, the grail of smartwatches is coming soon!
Here is my reasoning. This is half the price of a first-generation Apple Watch and about $50 more than a piece of rubber that would wrap around my wrist and just track my steps (a FitBit, for example). Pebbles have been around awhile, so they already have a bunch of apps. The bugs are, largely, squashed.
The Pebble was Apple-easy to set up and get notifications working. That is an important point.
The Apple Watch will be able to do things the Pebble can't, in particular track heart rate, which is important to me medically; I'm just not sure it's $150 worth of important. The cool wrist taps and heartbeats and all that jazz are worthless if your friends don't all also have Apple Watches, and mine assuredly will not.
My unanswered question is, will the Apple Watch require your phone to be near it in order to function? A use case I would definitely love would be leaving the phone at home! If I could go for a long walk sans phone and track the walk while listening to a podcast via bluetooth earbuds paired with the watch, that would seriously make me think about shelling out the dough. (The Pebble needs the phone, so although it's handier to stow it in a pocket, I still have to TAKE the thing.)
If anyone knows, please tell me. This seems like a really important question, but none of the podcasts I've listened to that speculate about this watch have addressed it.

Should the law pass – and it should – the New Hanover County sheriff would have his deputies first attempt to find the vehicle owner and issue a warning rather than break in.
The thermometer has finally signaled that spring is here, and judging from history, summer-like temperatures aren't that far off. Around town over the weekend, it was easy to spot parked cars with windows cracked and a barking dog inside. Fortunately, the weekend's temperatures weren't scorching, but it is a very bad idea to leave a pet locked in a car. As the weather gets warmer, it's also potentially fatal to the animal.
A group of state lawmakers wants to make sure people understand that danger and have introduced a bill making it a misdemeanor to leave a pet in a car on hot or perilously cold days, or to leave the pet without food and water for a period of time.
The bill, whose primary sponsor is a Democrat but which has co-sponsors from both parties, including Rep. Frank Iler,
R-Brunswick, also would authorize law enforcement officials to break into a locked car if necessary to rescue an animal in distress.
The bill has been hailed by animal lovers, some of whom have no doubt seen panting dogs sitting in a car with the windows cracked on a hot summer day.
New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon says the bill adds some teeth to an effort to educate
people about the risk of leaving a beloved pet in a sweltering vehicle.
The key, he notes, is to make a concerted effort to educate people rather than simply handing out citations.
Should the law pass – and it should – McMahon would have his deputies first attempt to find the vehicle owner and issue a warning rather than break in.
That's a good approach.
Most people who take their dogs everywhere truly love their pets but may not realize that after even a few minutes a car can heat up beyond what an animal can tolerate.
It should go without saying – how does it feel to you when you get into a car on a summer day? – but unfortunately many people either are not aware of or choose to ignore the dangers.
House Bill 612 would give law enforcement officers the power to take action if necessary to save the life of a helpless animal. Too often good-hearted bystanders call the police but are frustrated when the officer cannot break into the car to remove the endangered animal.
At best, the proposed law could change pet owners' behavior for the better; at worst, it might save a few pets from illness – or death.

The maximum rate of rise of the action potential ($\dot{V}_{\max}$) is often used to study the maximum sodium conductance ($\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$) of excitable membranes, by assuming that $\dot{V}_{\max}$ is proportional to $\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$. However, the real relation between $\dot{V}_{\max}$ and $\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$ is uncertain. We use simple analytical descriptions of the membrane currents to investigate this relation. If (1) the sodium conductance is much greater than the non-sodium conductance of the membrane, (2) the sodium current is activated extremely quickly, and (3) the sodium current is inactivated extremely slowly, then $\dot{V}_{\max}$ will indeed be proportional to $\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$. However, if conditions (1) or (3) are not satisfied, the $\dot{V}_{\max}-\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$ relation will be non-proportional, such that a certain fractional change of $\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$ produces a larger fractional change of $\dot{V}_{\max}$. If condition (2) is not satisfied the $\dot{V}_{\max}-\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$ relation is distorted in the opposite direction, such that a certain fractional change of $\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$ produces a smaller fractional change of $\dot{V}_{\max}$. Measurements of $\dot{V}_{\max}$ are usually performed in preparations where voltage clamping cannot be used to study $\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$ directly. However, voltage clamping is necessary to verify that conditions (1)-(3) are satisfied. The results of studies using $\dot{V}_{\max}$ alone as a measure of $\overline{G}_{\text{Na}}$ should be assessed with caution.

AMSTERDAM, April 11 (Reuters) - The Dutch central bank and finance ministry made serious mistakes in the multi-billion-euro rescues of Dutch lenders ABN AMRO and ING during the financial crisis, a parliamentary inquiry said on Wednesday.
The Netherlands paid out nearly 40 billion euros ($52 billion) to rescue its domestic financial sector when the credit crisis swept the globe in 2008. Both ABN AMRO and ING, which had ranked among the world's top banks, were crippled.
ABN AMRO had to be nationalised, and the finance ministry plans eventually to privatise it, while ING has been steadily selling off assets to repay the state and separate its banking and insurance operations.
"Both financial institutions ran into serious problems in the autumn of 2008 through their own actions, thereby jeopardising financial stability in the Netherlands," the Committee of Parliamentary Inquiry into the Financial System said in its final report.
"The ministry of finance and the Dutch central bank (DNB) were insufficiently prepared for a crisis of such magnitude, and they were overwhelmed," it said, adding that during the rescue, parliament had received "late and incomplete information".
Both the finance ministry, under then-finance minister Wouter Bos, and the central bank, headed at the time by Nout Wellink, were strongly criticised in the report.
Bos, a Labour politician, later joined consultancy KPMG while Wellink's term at the central bank was not renewed.
"The minister of finance at that time did not provide timely and/or complete information to the house of representatives, thus impeding the house in its role of holding the government to account," the report said.
"In nearly all cases, the minister did not inform the house of representatives about crisis measures that had been taken until after the fact."
The inquiry said supervision of both Fortis and ABN AMRO had failed, and that the central bank and finance minister were wrong to allow ABN AMRO's takeover by Royal Bank of Scotland , Santander and Fortis in 2007.
"The risks assumed by the state were great, and they were not transparent. The implementation of the bailout plan was flawed in many ways," the inquiry said, adding that the bailouts ended up costing taxpayers more than necessary.

So, this is the endgame limited-edition run-out special of the 997-series Porsche 911. And like a lot of run-out specials, it has a spoilers and stripes. And while they might be the maddest spoilers and the stripiest stripes you ever did set eyes upon, they aren't the point. Instead it's all about the engine.
This is definitely, positively, the last road-going appearance for the Mezger flat-six, so-called because it was the culmination of the brilliant career of Hans Mezger, one of Porsche's lynchpin engineers for four decades up to the mid-Nineties (the 917, the TAG McLaren F1 engine, dot dot dot). This crank and block won Le Mans in 1998, mid-mounted and turbocharged in the Porsche GT1 car. This is an engine with heritage, character and immense physical integrity.

A CHARITY helping to build schools and orphanages for youngsters in India from its New Forest base has launched a new website.
The Lotus Flower Trust's new site features an amazing library of more than 33,000 photographs, taken by volunteers who have gone out to help.
There are also many new pages, including a gallery, a shopping list page and a blog.
Founder John Hunt, from Hyde, said: "The year 2013 was very successful for us.
"Twenty-one projects will be completed by March and we now have funds for a further seven.
"Many more will be completed this year and we have some very exciting new projects we shall soon be fundraising for, which will change the lives of the children we work with forever.
"We continue to be approached by many non-governmental organisations in India asking for our support – far more than we have money to help.
"This is a consequence of the trust's growing reputation in India.
"And it is also why we need your help now more than ever.
"Sadly, we can only support the children if we have the money to do so.
"Thank you so much for all your help."

As County Council sent contractors to The Willows estate to resurface the footpath, it was clear to most residents the quality was not there. With tarmac over weeds, lack of jointing to residents drives, tarmac over dog mess, and tarmac covering water meters, it left a lot to be desired. I took this quality issue to County Hall at a full council and appealed for the work to be re done.
After the meeting I met with the Highway chief, but all that they would agree to is a couple of snagging jobs.
I wanted what residents wanted, which was a re work of the whole job.
I stand by the statement that ECC do not quality check enough jobs and that means public money is at risk

DUNFERMLINE ATHLETIC have been hit with a points deduction and a player registration embargo after going into administration.
The deduction has been imposed with immediate effect, while the signing embargo on players over the age of 21 will continue until the club emerges from administration.
The sanctions were announced this afternoon in an official statement by the Scottish Football League, which found the Fife club "guilty of conduct contrary to League rules, the interests of the League and its member clubs."
"The Scottish Football League regrets the current situation that Dunfermline Athletic FC finds itself in," begins the statement. "We are fully aware of the impact this situation has had on all concerned, especially players, staff and fans of the club."
Citing their "duty to protect the integrity and on-going smooth-running of the League", the SFL then outlined the sanctions:
- That Dunfermline Athletic F.C. be deducted 15 League Championship points with immediate effect.
- That, with immediate effect, a player registration embargo on players over the age of 21 be imposed until the club comes out of administration.
- In the event of a C.V.A not having been approved by the commencement of next season or approved but subsequently overturned by order of court, and Dunfermline Athletic remain in administration as a consequence, then a further 10 point penalty deduction will be imposed and a financial guarantee of £150,000 will be required to protect the League against future risk.
The statement concludes: "In the face of current challenges, our ultimate aim is to ensure that clubs survive and communities continue to have a local team to support."
Dunfermline Athletic have the right to appeal the decision.

Prime Minister Tihomir Oreskovic said on Wednesday the priority regarding this year's budget was to reduce the public debt, adding that attempts would be made to reduce the deficit to three percent of GDP, with every option open and every card on the table.
"Then we will see where we can increase investments. We have a lot of room with EU funds, while on the other hand, investments will stimulate growth," he said in an interview with Croatian Radio.
In drawing up the 2016 budget, some items where value can be created will be increased, while some departments will be reduced and relocated so that the budget can be strengthened and some value created for the state, Oreskovic said, adding that possible savings in every department would be considered in order to increase efficiency.
"That's our priority. We will have open dialogue with every ministry and see where efficiency and the whole system can be enhanced. Every option is open and every card is on the table," he said when asked what would happen with salaries, pensions and social outlays.
The European Commission has forecast that Croatia's economy will grow 2.1 percent this year. "We will activate some programmes, focusing on about EUR 500 million to increase and stimulate small and medium enterprises, and on EU funds so that GDP can grow over three percent," Oreskovic said.
He said high interest and loan repayments were due next year, which would be a big challenge, and that it was important to increase the credit rating. "If we can increase the credit rating by one notch, that means that we can save HRK 1.5 billion on our debt, which will then make room for other investments and deficit reduction."
Oreskovic said the European Commission would release a report on Croatia on February 24 with recommendations on necessary structural changes. "We will also see how we can make the best and the most efficient budget."
Although ministers said at the first session of the new government that there was no room for saving, Oreskovic said room for that would be found. "I'm not sure there's no room. It's more a question of where to step it up. For example, if EU funds are important to us, we have EUR 10.7 billion that we can draw and I say that we need resources so as not to leave the money on the table. We will step it up where that's useful for the Croatian economy. Elsewhere, we'll see how to reduce those resources."
Asked about the introduction of a property tax, Oreskovic said the government would consider imposing it on unused property. "If it's a flat or a house where someone lives, we won't impose the tax. But if it's land, a flat or a house that is not in use, then we'll impose the tax. If someone has five, six or seven flats or houses, then we'll raise the property tax."
Speaking of the privatisation of state property, Oreskovic said: "The State Property Management Office has EUR 30 billion worth of Croatian property. I asked for 1.5%, the activation of EUR 500 million. All Croatian citizens can see that we have unused property. That's dormant capital which must be put to use in order to reduce the debt. As for strategic and non-strategic companies in the public sector, we will invest in what's strategic. That's the energy sector, (power utility) HEP, where we can even increase investments and be regional leaders. As for what's not strategic, we can either improve the situation the company is in or see that we find partners that will increase the company's value."
Asked how to deal with the overindebted motorways, Oreskovic said the motorways were a huge debt for Croatia and that this problem should be solved. "There are vignettes and some other possibilities to increase revenues. Vignettes are a model that will be analysed. With vignettes, we could get EUR 30 billion in several years, but every option should be examined. The current system should be changed."
Asked if the number of counties would be reduced, Oreskovic said this was not a priority but efficiency and self-sufficiency. "If a town, county or municipality can finance itself, that's a plus. If not, we'll look for other models."
Oreskovic said he had an excellent meeting with the unions and that they had put all the cards on the table. Regarding salary bonuses of 4%, 8% and 10% and a 6% pay rise under a 2009 agreement, he said this depended on the state of the budget and that a discussion on these topics would be launched. "The unions are our partners and I believe we will have a good cooperation with them."
Oreskovic went on to say that as someone coming from the world of business, he would not make any decision rashly, including one on Security and Intelligence Agency (SOA) chief Dragan Lozancic, whose replacement has been initiated by President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic. "I think Mr. Lozancic was doing his job and that, at this moment, I need to get well-informed. I will make my decision in due course. I'm not a person who jumps to decisions."
A decision to replace the SOA chief is co-signed by the president and the prime minister, and the president signed it on Friday. Oreskovic confirmed that, under the law, the president could initiate the replacement. "She initiated it and made it very clear that she had lost her trust in Mr. Lozancic. I will consider this, collect additional information and make my decision in due course."
Oreskovic said he did not think that the president had pushed him into a corner by going public with her decision to replace Lozancic just as Oreskovic was telling the press that they would make a decision together.
Oreskovic said he was absolutely satisfied with his relations with the president, reiterating that they were partners and that they had common goals regarding Croatia's foreign policy and economy. "The president, like me, has good contacts regarding the economy and we will use that together in Croatia's interest and we will work together so as to improve cooperation with the neighbours. This situation will be solved, but I think we must be positive. We are partners and work together for a better Croatia."
Oreskovic said he did not think that the Lozancic case would shake the government, although Deputy PM Bozo Petrov and First Deputy PM Tomislav Karamarko have different views of the case. "This is democracy... And I will make the final decision."
As for the fact that the intelligence services are not under parliament's supervision because the chair of the parliamentary Domestic Policy and National Security Committee has not been appointed and there is no civil oversight either, Oreskovic said, "I don't think this is a dangerous situation at all. I think the system is functioning very well and things will move forward." He added that citizens had no reason to fear that the system would be abused.
Oreskovic went on to say that the name of the new war veterans' minister would be revealed very soon. He said this ministry was very important to him and that after Mijo Crnoja's resignation from the post, "the government will focus on what's ahead, the economy, finance and kickstarting the economy."
He confirmed that Culture Minister Zlatko Hasanbegovic enjoyed his full support. As for the protests of some associations and non-profit media against Hasanbegovic, Oreskovic said he had talked with him and that the minister's "comments on antifascism" were taken out of context. "Mr. Hasanbegovic is a staunch antifascist and historian, a very capable man. I think he'll be a great minister of culture."
Oreskovic went on to say that he did not think that the Cooperation Council, comprising representatives of the HDZ, Bridge and other ruling partners, would obstruct or slow down the government's work. "I see this too as a person coming from the business sector. I think this will enhance the quality of the bills that the government will send to parliament. I see this as a big plus."
Oreskovic agreed that rhetoric in political and social life was increasingly escalating, saying that it might never disappear but that he hoped Croatian society would start to focus more on the future, rather than the past. He said that everyone he had talked to made it clear to him that they wanted everyone to have better living standards. "And I think that as a nation and as politicians, we should focus more on that."
Oreskovic said the fact that in Croatia there was too much thinking about the past instead of the future was what disappointed him most. The past must not be forgotten, but I hope all of Croatia will focus on the future, he said. "This is a great country and has enormous potential and we should all build it together."
Oreskovic announced that his first trip abroad would be to Germany to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel. He said he was looking forward to the talks, which he said would focus on the refugee crisis and the strengthening of Croatian-German relations.
He said it was important to see how German investment in Croatia could be increased. As for the refugee crisis, he said it was a "big challenge" for Europe and that a decision on how to handle it would be adopted at EU level. "I think it's clear to everyone that Croatia will always look after its national interests."
Asked if his cabinet would change anything regarding foreign policy, Oreskovic said there was room to intensify relations with the European Commission and to step up Croatia's activity at all levels within the EU. "That will be one of my goals as prime minister."
Speaking of relations with the neighbours, he said that cooperation should be improved and that steps to that end had already been taken with regard to Slovenia and that similar steps would be taken towards the other neighbours too.

As State Representative for House District 23, and as a former classroom teacher, I am committed to focusing our attention on the current state of education. Most of us, myself included, have opinions which are based upon our experiences of being educated in the Texas public school system.
At the core of the issue is the ability of our students to transfer their success in the classroom to fulfilling a job in the workforce marketplace. Being able to work in a field that is challenging and yet provides adequately for our families, is critical and I believe imperative for our future generations to come.
For this reason, I've put the funding of our schools, colleges and universities at the forefront of my legislatives priorities. It is our mandate in the Legislature to establish and make suitable provisions in our public education system for the support and maintenance of an efficient system. Accountability is important, but it must be rational and driven by long-term goals. Classroom teachers have expressed their frustrations repeatedly about the administrative documentation and paperwork which interfere with their ability to focus on the students. This is not acceptable. My own grandchildren struggle with the anxiety and tension associated with the rigors of testing. We can, and must, do better. Education is not a partisan issue and I am committed to taking the steps necessary to advocate for our students and teachers.
I have worked tirelessly and eagerly to represent the people of House District 23. Recently, my efforts included hours of meetings and negotiations on behalf of the La Marque Independent School District regarding the challenges they faced. I did not let them walk alone in their struggles.
"You can pretend to care, but you can't pretend to be there."
I am there and will continue to work for the best possible outcomes for our schools.
I also recently met with the Texas Education Agency about the funding necessary for Texas City Independent School District given merger with La Marque ISD. I am proud to report that those meetings and discussions have helped provide funding for the needs of the combined districts. I know that you are counting on our public schools to give students the opportunity they deserve and no one works harder than I do at advocating for our schools and our legislative district. I am not perfect. But I am committed to working with a passion for making a difference and my actions, not just my words, validate my high expectations.
Cheryl and I are proud to represent the honest, hardworking people of HD 23 and we will continue to serve as long as we are asked to do so. Yes, your vote matters.

Hi George,
I have this request forwarded to correct department.
Thank you for choosing JotForm.
JotForm Founder
For check / purchase orders please use the information provided on our payment gateway. We outsource our payment processing to Plimus, LLC.
So, when you need to make a check payment, please fill this form below and choose "Check" option on "Method of Payment". Then you will see details on the next page for it:
The purchase orders cannot be less than $100 since there is some manual labor involved so you will need to purchase two year Premium subscription which is the only option we have over $100.
Thanks, but isn't $9.95/month x 12 over $100? The problem is I don't think our accounting department will let us pay for 2 years even if 1 year costs more!
JotForm Support
Hello falmouth,
Annual payment for subscriptions are indeed cheaper than monthly payment subscriptions. This is the advantage of paying for one year or two year subscriptions.
Warm regards,
We're ready to buy, but... Do you have your Federal form W-9 online someplace, or can you fax it to us? We need it to pay.
JotForm Support
Thank you for your interest in subscribing, falmouth.
I have escalated your inquiry to the better person to look into your request.
Thank you for your patience.
Warm regards,

Please use this W-9 since the payments are collected by Plimus:
I want to pay by credit card but per our company policy still need to use a requisition and PO to make the transaction which means I need an address for your company to put on my requisition. Please provide an address so I can purchase/subscribe today.
Thank you,

New To Cc And To This Section!
Lounge By ilovesprinkles Updated 8 Apr 2011 , 1:15pm by ilovesprinkles
Hi everyone-
I have been a lurker for a little while, but decided to come out of the shadows. My name is Valerie, SAHM of two kids. I have just started a legal, inspected and insured residential kitchen in MA, baking cakes, cookies, cupcakes and other non-PHF confections. Up until now, I have just baked for family, but took the plunge to become legal. It was a lot of work, red tape, and a fair amount of $$, but I'm so glad I did it! Now that I am licensed, I find myself very frustrated at the number of people who do this illegally, and the lengths to which they will justify their actions. But that's another story.
There are so many talented people on CC that I'm really in awe, and I so appreciate all of the information shared here. I have the recipes, but really feel like I am improving at decorating with every cake and cookie I do.
Please feel free to visit me on Facebook (ID: Silver Sprinkle), or at my blog, www.silversprinklebakehouse.blogspot.com. (I still have to figure out how to put this in my profile).
I look forward to sharing information, networking, and just plain chatting the day away with you.
Welcome and big messy buttercream and cake hugs!
It is always hard to deal with unfair competition. But there are so many avenues that open up with that license. Good luck in your new venture.
I clicked on your blog and it says, "The blog you were looking for was not found..."
Welcome to the fun!
Aww, thank you for the welcomes!
I clicked on your blog and it says, "The blog you were looking for was not found..."
Thanks for letting me know. Oops! I probably have a typo in there somewhere.
ETA: Yup, I have a period at the end of the URL. I'm a teacher. I put periods at the end of everything. LOL!

Ashtanga Namaskara
Definition - What does Ashtanga Namaskara mean?
Ashtanga namaskara is a posture where the body is balanced on eight points of contact with the floor: feet, knees, chest, chin and hands. The name comes from the Sanskrit words ashta, meaning "eight," anga, meaning "part" or "limb," and namaskar, meaning "bowing" or "greeting."
It forms part of the classical surya namaskar sequence and is also used as an alternative to chaturanga dandasana.
Ashtanga namaskara is also known as salute with eight limbs pose.
Yogapedia explains Ashtanga Namaskara
The gesture in this asana of lowering the body to touch the floor is considered a salute or paying homage. It is often performed by devotees to pay respect to the gods when visiting temples in India.
It is said that focus should be directed to the manipura chakra as the chest touches the floor in this posture. When performed during surya namaskar, the mantra, "Aum Pooshne namah" can be chanted, which means "Salutations to Pushan, the mystic fire," or "Salutations to the One who gives strength." An alternative, shorter bija mantra can be used during more rapid practice, which is "Om Hrah."

Watch: First Trailer for Award-Winning 'Dark Horse' Sundance Doc
by Alex Billington
February 26, 2015
Source: Film4
"How can that possibly be a success?" This looks great! Coming out of Sundance this year were a number of outstanding documentaries (our 7 favorites here), including this one, which picked up the Audience Award in the World Cinema Documentary category. Dark Horse is a documentary about a small Welsh town that decides to adopt and breed a racehorse even though they don't have much money. Lo and behold it goes on to become a huge success, and this is the story of that horse and the town. This is one film we didn't get to see, but heard nothing but amazing things about during the festival. This first trailer definitely gives us a glimpse at just how crowdpleasing and inspiring it is, and I'm looking forward to seeing it sooner than later.
Here's the first UK trailer for Louise Osmond's documentary Dark Horse, from Film4 via The Film Stage:
Louise Osmond's documentary, titled in full Dark Horse: The Incredible True Story Of Dream Alliance, is the inspirational true story of a group of friends from a working men's club who take on the elite 'sport of kings' and breed themselves a racehorse. The film first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the Audience Award in the World Cinema Documentary category. The film comes out of the UK and will be released first over there. Film4 will release Dark Horse: The Incredible True Story Of Dream Alliance in the UK and Ireland starting April 17th, 2015. Sony Pictures Classics will release in the US, but no date has been set yet. For extra info, follow the film on Facebook. Stay tuned for more updates.
