The Sweetest Story You'll Find This Weekend
Between the explosions and the secessions and the loss of junk food (and, oh yeah, 18,000 jobs)–not to mention terrible traffic–it's been a rough day. This story (paywall…I think) is pretty awesome though. It's already pretty short, but the even shorter version goes like this:
Koregan Quintanilla is a fourth-grader who just turned 10. When he was a baby, someone left him at the step of an Arlington fire station with only a bottle and a spare diaper. He was found by a firefighter named Wesley Keck and eventually adopted into what sounds like a kind, loving family. Recently, Koregan, asked his mother if he could visit the station where he was found, and talk to the man who found him.
Last night was their touching reunion. As it turns out, Keck, a father of four, has kept Koregan's baby picture with him all this time, and he's wondered what happened to the boy he found. Koregan, usually a quiet, thoughtful kid, was elated and talkative. When Keck found out Koregan wants to be a firefighter when he grows up, he arranged for the boy to ride shotgun in the firetruck.
Neither the Quintanilla family nor the fire department know anything about Koregan's biological mother. He was left under the Baby Moses law, which allows parents of infants up to 60 days old to leave the baby at a hospital or fire station without punishment. This quote, from the boy's adoptive mother, says it all though: "She obviously must have been made of some good stuff, because that little boy is made of some good stuff."

Windsor Spitfires head coach Bob Jones, a Sault native and former Soo Greyhounds player and assistant coach, was charged with aggravated assault on Friday.
Windsor Spitfires head coach Bob Jones, a Sault native and former Soo Greyhounds player and assistant coach, was charged with aggravated assault on Friday.
The charge stems from a Feb. 26 fight in the parking lot of Docks Riverfront Grill.
Police confirmed the charge in press release this morning. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 4.
As a result of the fight, a 19-year-old Sault man, Steven Rimmer, suffered a broken jaw.
The altercation took place between 2-2:30 a.m., hours after the Spitfires, the two-time defending Memorial Cup champions, defeated the Greyhounds 4-2 at Essar Centre.
According to sources, Jones, who was with Spitfires associate coach D.J. Smith at the time of the incident, surrendered to police on Friday, hours before his team took to the ice to play the Soo Greyhounds. Windsor won the game 4-2.
Jones began his OHL playing career in 1985 with the Greyhounds.
The 41-year-old played four full seasons and part of a fifth here.
Jones was also an assistant coach for the Greyhounds for three years, beginning in 1995.
This is his first year as Windsor's bench boss.
Shortly after the incident at Docks, the Spitfires, through general manager Warren Rychel, issued a statement saying Jones was the victim in the altercation.
Rychel, in an interview with The Windsor Star, said Jones was attacked by five "unruly, angry young men," who kicked him, stole his Memorial Cup ring and uttered death threats.
Rychel said Jones was waiting for a taxi outside the bar when he was mocked by the men for wearing a suit.
The statement went on to say that one of the individuals told Jones he "had better be careful or he would be dead."
The Windsor statement said the man then allegedly grabbed Jones and a fight ensued, knocking both men to the ground.
It went on to say that several other individuals ran over and kicked Jones repeatedly before another unidentified Spitfires staff member arrived and pulled the first man off Jones. The statement also alleged that during the scuffle, one of the men stole Jones's Memorial Cup ring.
The ring was later found in the parking lot of Docks Riverfront Grill.
"Mr. Jones was the victim of an attack, not the instigator," Rychel went on to say in the statement. "He did his best to avoid confrontation. To his surprise, he now learns that some or all of the unscrupulous attackers have had the audacity to suggest that it was he, not them that committed an assault.
"The Windsor Spitfire organization stands behind our head coach without hesitation or reservation."
As part of its investigation, the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service appealed to the public, asking anyone who witnessed the altercation to come forward.

Back in the day my first foray into massive online services that weren't BBS's was Prodigy. I got a Sears credit card and they gave me a free account when it started out. I stayed on for a few years and had a blast talking to tons of people. I have nothing but fond memories of it.
About 5 or 6 years ago I was being dragged along to flea markets in the middle of Pennsylvania when I ran across a brand new, in-box copy of Prodigy 1.1 for Windows. I carried around for a few years and had it on the shelf but my inner spartan got the better of me so I decided to immortalize it with scans. I've got more old software that I scanned I'll be releasing when I can find them. AHEM, Kai's Power Tools 1.0 anyone? Enjoy!

Hi! Thank you for stopping by to watch me, Leah, cook kosher. I've been the owner operator of my boutique catering firm in Seattle, Leah's Catering, for the past 14 years.
Read more...
*Note ~ this has been on the homepage before. That said, great recipe for this time of year.
Spinach frittatas often appear at Shabbat Kiddush lunches, especially in the Sephardic synagogues. It teams well with the wonderful kippered salmon done by Dressel Collins here in Seattle. Borekas are a must to round out the buffet table and must be made in abundance. Yaprakes, brown eggs, and biscochos for dessert ~ it is a menu that defines a tradition in Seattle. I love it.
Years ago, Catherine Scharon shows me many of the Sephardic delicacies. One day after a Kiddush lunch we catered at her shul, she calls and says that the spinach frittata wasn't like hers. Nope, it wasn't ~ made it mine. Expecting a tip, Catherine surprises me by asking for MY recipe. I've arrived! ~ that is what I keep telling myself.
I was very honored a couple of years ago to cater an evening entitled "An Evening in Rhodes", the homeland of our local Sephardic community. Catherine keeps a watchful eye in the kitchen the day of the event. I love 'theme' parties and this event is fabulous. Dennis Warshal, local artist and event designer, creates an amazing walkway through the town square. Airbrushing floor to ceiling panels of 'stones', guests are transported to an island in the Mediterranean. Very cool. Very cool, indeed.

Preheat oven to 350'.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs well.
Prep the leeks and saute. Drain the defrosted spinach. If using fresh, wilt in a little water over high heat and drain. Add rest of ingredients and combine well.
Mix ingredients well. Spread into a well sprayed sheet pan and bake at 350 degrees until just done and lightly browned. The center should be firm to the touch but not hard. This could take 30 - 40 minutes depending on your oven and the size of the pan.
To serve, cut into 2" x 2" squares as a side dish.
And that is how you make Kosher Spinach Leek Frittata!

Excellent album from Stuart Wade and the boys, the musicianship is top notch with tight horns and wicked rhythm section. Grooves like 'Future Boogie' and 'Spiderlegs' are full-on funky Jazz barnstormers. Try the infectious riff laden 'We've Always Got The Music', the heavier 'Smash And Grab' and slower 'In The Pocket'. There are 2 quality vocal tracks – 'Should've Been You' and the gorgeous 'The Brighter Side' feature the awesome Hil St Soul, whilst 'Good To Me' has a scat from Roy Ayers, who also adds a vibes solo on a Brand New Heavies style cut. All-round this is DTTB's best album for several years. Must also mention Neil Angilley's keyboard work and Tony Remy's ultra funky rhythm guitar.

College football fans rolled into Stanford University early Thursday morning for a big Thursday night game that promises to bring gridlock to the Palo Alto area.
Traffic signs were lit up and down University Avenue reminding drivers to expect delays. The Stanford Cardinal are taking on the Oregon Ducks in a Pac 12 Game.
A capacity crowd of 50,000 fans are expected to fill Stanford Stadium. Some fans showed up as early as Wednesday to tailgate and get a good spot.
But most fans are expected to show up closer to kick-off, which happens to coincide with the evening rush hour, a recipe for gridlock.
"Not to mention Palo Alto High School, which is right near Embarcadero and El Camino, is gonna be letting out of school around 2 or 2:30," said the Palo Alto Police Department's Marianna Villaescusa. "So we're letting people know, if you can at all avoid the El Camino-Embarcadero corridor, please do so." Some Stanford employees are being allowed to leave early to beat the crowds.
CSN BAY AREA: Oregon, Stanford Set for Pac-12's Game of the Year
According to Forbes, these are among the most expensive college ball tickets at $240. Stanford is putting out a notice to potential last minute ticket hopefuls to watch out for counterfeit tickets.
Levi Finch is from San Jose but graduated from Oregon.
"Yeah, there is a conflict of interest there but I'm just happy to see the game," Finch said. "It's a great place for it."
RELATED: Social Media Buzz: Stanford vs. Oregon
At halftime, the Cardinal will retire jersey No. 7, the one worn by John Elway when he played for the team from 1979 to 1982.
Only two other Stanford players have had their jerseys retired: No.1 Ernie Nevers and No. 16 Jim Plunkett.
Gates open at 4 p.m. Kick-off is at 6 p.m.

Hi Kriesi
I bought your fabulous theme and I'm very happy with the purchase, but I have a question that I want to tell before, to buy WPML.
In your theme says that is compatible with WPML, but I want to Know if the text of the slide, and contact form can also be translated with WPML. I'm testing QTranslete, but does not give me option to translate these texts.
I want Know what levels of translation allows your theme with WPML before buying it.
Thank you very much!!September 24, 2012 at 7:08 pm #91901
The way WPML works with the theme, you can translate any page. So you would make a regular contact page, save it, then switch over to another language from the drop down list and create a contact page in that language and then assign the spanish-contact-page to the primary-site-language contact page from a dropdown box located right on the edit page itself.
The same goes for the slider. Basically you will have a dropdown menu in the backend with whichever languages you want to support, as you switch between languages, you will have to redo everything you did in the original language. So yes, you can have the slider translated into anything you want, or have a completely different layout without a slider . Each and every language can have a completely different page layout linked to the primary language page. This way the theme is aware which pages to display for which specific language.
I hope that answers your question.
NickSeptember 25, 2012 at 8:35 am #91902
Thanks Nick!
I have another question: The category of the portfolios and blog, can be translated with WPML?
Best regards,
PeterSeptember 25, 2012 at 9:18 am #91903
I just translated category for the blog and portfolio. It's not difficult, just have to always remember if you are in English or in some other language. Take a look. http://i.imgur.com/bma7Y.png
The top left arrow is the main control to switch the backend to another language while on the right you pick which English (if that's the base language) .. which English counterpart to match the new portfolio item to. On the bottom there are also additional options.
The topic 'WPML and Coherence Theme' is closed to new replies.

The 33-year-old goaltender returned to the ice for an informal workout with Canucks teammates Friday while facing an uncertain future.
Luongo, a three-time All-Star, was displaced as Vancouver's No. 1 goalie by 26-year-old Cory Schneider in last year's playoffs. After the season, Luongo said he would waive his no-trade clause if asked, but general manager Mike Gillis couldn't swing a deal before the 113-day NHL lockout began in September.
"I told (Gillis) I was ready to go as long as it took," Luongo said. "Whether it's a couple days, next week, two weeks, at the end of the season, it's totally fine with me."
Luongo has long been rumored to be headed to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Trades are prohibited until players have ratified the proposed new collective-bargaining agreement, which is expected to happen Saturday. Training camps might open Sunday.
Luongo ($5.3 million) and Schneider ($4 million) count for $9.3 million on Vancouver's salary cap. The cap is to be reduced to $64.3 million next season, from a prorated $70.2 million this season.

Interdependencia y regímenes cambiarios en Mercosur: un modelo macroeconómico de equilibrio general computado para su medición
[Interdependence under different exchange rate regimes in the Mercosur. A macroeconomic computable general equilibrium model]
Mercosur is currently going through an intermediate integration stage in which macroeconomic interdependence acquires more importance. Then, the need arises to adopt strategic definitions with regard to the future of the process itself. The study examines macroeconomic interdependence with a macroeconomic computable general equilibrium model. This enables an estimation of the sign and extent of transmission of shocks originating either in a Mercosur country or in the rest of the world. The results of the model simulations show that interdependence has important effects. We discuss the possibility of implementing a process of cooperation as an alternative to play Nash in some key policies.

Everyone's On Facebook
February 12, 2009
I woke up this morning to a nice little story on ReadWriteWeb on the prevalence on Web 2.0 applications on company systems. FaceTime Communications, a security provider, did a live traffic survey of applications on company servers, and found that everyone, yes, everyone, is involved in Web 2.0 in some way.
Interesting enough, of the surveyed IT managers, only 60% thought some application was on their users computers. There's a lot more information at the link (written by Sarah Perez).
What does this mean for recruiters? It means that if you don't know how to message people on the platform they use, you're missing out on the ability to contact them at all. We make the mistake of looking at LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and others as just sourcing tools. That's part of it, but the users you find on these networks don't necessarily respond to traditional email or even phone sourcing. If you're not figuring out these tools as messaging platforms, you're not using them very well.
Of course this is all self-serving, as I sell products that teach you how to connect, market, and sell using Web 2.0 tools, but the reason I started doing so was no one was stepping up and showing how. We just talked about why, or made grand proclamations about how social networking was transforming recruiting.
Social networking is not transforming recruiting. It's transforming the way we work. It's touching every aspect of business and our social lives, and we have no choice but to catch up with the public.

Family of Lubbock County Commissioner Patti Jones' husband Steve Jones said those who loved Steve feel comfort knowing he died doing what he loved.
The 59-year-old who died in what investigators called a farming accident spent Monday morning working in a cotton field in North Lubbock county — very close to the fields he grew up working with his family as a youth in an industry that became his lifelong passion.
"That's what he always wanted to do and he was good at it," said Mike Wright, Patti Jones' cousin and a senior vice president and longtime agricultural loan officer at City Bank. "He's smiling down on us now."
Lubbock Police and Fire Department crews responding to an 11 a.m. 911 call found Jones trapped under a trailer in a cotton field in the 2000 block of Kent Street, near North University Avenue, said Lubbock Police Sgt. Jonathan Stewart.
Stewart said investigators believe a portion of the trailer malfunctioned, causing the trailer to fall on the 59-year-old. He died at the scene.
The Joneses were high school sweethearts, and both graduated from New Deal High, Wright said.
They were married 38 years and have two sons.
Wright and Steve Jones' colleagues in the agriculture industry had high praise for his community service, cotton industry know-how and kind nature.
"He was as good a man as you could ask for," Wright said.
Jones served in several leadership roles in South Plains agriculture, including as a member of the Southern High Plains Boll Weevil Advisory Committee, the Texas AgriLife Extension Committee, the Lubbock County Junior Livestock Board and the Lubbock County Farm Bureau.
"When he was asked to do something, he would do it well," said Steve Verett, the executive vice president of Plains Cotton Growers Association.
Mark Brown, a Lubbock County Texas AgriLife extension agent, said Jones was among the best cotton growers in area.
"Steve was very good to work with and in working with extension programs," he said.
Brown said Jones often volunteered to participate in farm results demonstrations — a variety of trials ranging from new cotton varieties to insect pest management to studying cotton density.
"That helped other producers out in the future," he said, adding the trials and Jones' operation showed Jones was a savvy businessman.
"I think Steve had a good handle on knowing the bottom line in a farming operation."
Lubbock County Commissioner Bill McCay described Steve Jones as a "very well-known cotton farmer" in Lubbock County. He declined to elaborate about Jones, calling Monday afternoon a very emotional time.
A Lubbock County news release urges citizens of the county to "join us in mourning the loss of Steve Jones. Please keep Commissioner Jones and her family in your thoughts and prayers."

Steel Quotas: A Rigged Lottery
One of the most bizarre bills making its way through Congress is the Visclosky steel quota bill (H.R. 975). H.R. 975 passed the House on 17 March, with 289 yeas and 141 nays. It is scheduled for a Senate vote on 22 June. If enacted, H.R. 975 would limit steel imports in a heavy-handed way that scarcely benefits workers, but enriches a few lucky firms, while violating international trade rules and draining the pockets of American households. If truth-in-labeling applied to legislation, H.R. 975 would be named the Steel Lottery Act of 1999. The annual cost to American households for each steel job saved would exceed $800,000. But steel workers would receive less than 20 percent of this huge sum; lucky firms would collect more than 80 percent of the jackpot.

About 30 businesses suspected of selling fake designer bags, glasses, perfumes and jewelry were raided by police in a coordinated take-down in Chinatown today.
Cops used power-saws to break the locks on the businesses around 6 a.m. The estimated value of the goods seized is not yet known.
A special unit created in 2006 to crackdown on trademark counterfeiting made undercover purchases of some of the goods in advance of the raids, law enforcement said.
Experts will return to the stores later today to examine the merchandise and the buildings' landlords will be required to appear in court, law enforcement officials said. No arrests were made.
The area of Canal between Centre and Walker Streets have been dubbed "the Counterfeit Triangle" by police, as peddlers hawk knockoff Coach, Gucci, Prada, Rolex and Burberry items among many other fake designer wares.
A raid last year netted more than $1 million in counterfeit goods.
Lawmakers say that in addition to violating piracy and intellectual property laws, the sale of fake goods costs the city an estimated $3 billion per year in sales tax revenue.
China is the No. 1 offender in the global sale of counterfeit goods and the issue has become a major trade dispute, federal officials said .
The money trail from counterfeit items has also been traced to terrorist groups around the globe and has been funneled to groups staging attacks -- such as the homegrown Muslim extremist group linked to the deadly 2004 bombings of commuter trains in Madrid. The FBI and NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly said money from pirated cds helped the group fund the attack.

The Fields ProjectBringing artists and agriculture together
The Fields ProjectBringing artists and agriculture together
The Fields Project is now in its fifth year of bringing artists and agriculture together in the Rock River Valley. This event has brought two elements together, resulting in a correlation and appreciation of the work of an artist, to the labors of a farmer. Painters and earthwork sculptors are susceptible to weather, as farmers are, in nourishing their profession.
A farmer sculpts and contours his field when it comes time to plow and plant his crop. This is a time when he enjoys the beauty and nature of his surroundings. When a Fields Project artist comes to our area, he/she is able to capture that beauty that enriches us every day, on canvas. This marriage has been beneficial to everyone who has participated in this fine art event, or who has attended the one-day art show/sale that culminates on the last day. This year, the art show/sale will be Sunday, June 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Mix Park in Oregon. Area artists have also been invited to display their works of art as well.
Host families for The Fields Project also participate in the week-long event designed to celebrate the marriage of art and agriculture unique to Oregon and Ogle County. Hosts provide breakfast and dinner for their guest artist and join in the myriad of Fields Project events. These artists and local farm families bond so well, they attend weddings and see each other year after year, explained co-coordinator Dixie Hammer.
Committee members have been meeting for months to plan and prepare for the eight-day event, which takes place June 14-22.
Betty Adams, co-coordinator of the event, explained: We started with a group of people who want to promote the art in our community. We had the idea that the two things we have here in our community are the heritage of art and agriculture. Our theme is bringing art and agriculture together. What we do is, we bring artists from all over the country to reside with a farm family for eight days. They create art. They go out and paint all over the county. They also have the experience of being close to farm life.
Has The Fields Project been successful in its mission? So far, we have had 48 artists who have come from all over the U.S. and Canada, she said. We have had 21 farm host families. This year we are expanding our art show and calling it The Fields Art Festival.
More people are coming on board with the project. We have a committee of 20 people who work year-round putting on this event, Adams said. Its very significant what happens with the artists and their farm host families in terms of what they share with each other and how they understand that they both are in professions that have great risks, and that they produce a product, but they dont know whether they will sell it or make a profit. Those are the kinds of things they begin to understand about each other. I think its also significant that what we do is rather unique in that art and agriculture are brought together. Agriculture is having a hard time now in terms of people understanding it, and what impact it has on our world and the changes that are taking place in agriculture.

Kaskie instrumental in building Buffalo Medical Campus
The resignation of James R. Kaskie as chief executive officer of Kaleida Health comes at a time when the long-sought vision of a downtown medical campus in Buffalo is becoming a reality.
Kaskie played a central role in that achievement, and it will likely be his legacy here.
"He did an amazing job in bringing together the disparate parts of the health care community," said Edward F. Walsh Jr., a past president of the Kaleida Health board of directors.
Kaskie was recruited to Kaleida Health in 2004, and was named president and chief executive officer in 2006. In 2007 he also was named chief executive officer of Great Lakes Health, the parent organization of Kaleida Health and Erie County Medical Center.
Colleagues and observers of the region's health care industry say Kaskie was a very competent CEO and a well-liked individual known for his friendly demeanor. Until recent times, they say, he successfully navigated Kaleida Health through a highly competitive business in which there is little financial margin for error and intense pressure to deliver results.
"It's one of the most difficult jobs out there," said Walsh. "You have to balance on shifting sands, and there are things you don't have control over."
Kaskie led the region's largest hospital system during a tumultuous period of change.
In 2006, the state Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century, also known as the Berger Commission, ordered the closure of Kaleida Health's Millard Fillmore Hospital at Gates Circle as part of an attempt to restructure the state's inefficient health system.
Kaskie and others in the community saw the commission's conclusions as an opportunity to create a new vision for health care delivery that included the 2008 agreement between Kaleida Health and ECMC to operate separately but align their services under Great Lakes Health. That agreement paved the way for major changes in hospital care in the region.
"He embraced the notion of collaboration, most obviously seen with ECMC," said William Joyce, another past board chairman who helped recruit Kaskie.
"He was the right person at the right time," said Joyce, recalling that Kaleida Health had just gone through a financial turnaround and needed someone with detailed operational expertise.
Kaleida Health in 2012 closed the Gates Circle facility, and moved its services and staff to the medical campus – mainly the new $291 million Gates Vascular Institute next to Buffalo General Medical Center. The joint project with the University at Buffalo consolidated Kaleida Health's heart, stroke and vascular services, as well as ECMC's heart services. The building also houses the University at Buffalo's Clinical and Translational Research Center, and includes an institute to test new medical products and bring them to market.
On a larger scale, the project was the first tangible result from the state-ordered consolidation of Kaleida Health and ECMC, and a major indication that something significant was happening on the fledgling medical campus.
At the time, Kaskie described the move of Gates as the most complex project of his career.
"We're taking two organizations and making them one, changing the landscape for doctors and staff. That creates job uncertainty," he said.
Dr. L. Nelson Hopkins, III, president of the Gates Vascular Institute, praised Kaskie for his efforts to build up the medical campus downtown.
Other medical campus projects built or started during Kaskie's tenure include a new $237 million Women & Children's Hospital, a new $375 million medical school for the University at Buffalo, and a $64 million nursing home, HighPointe on Michigan, that replaced the outdated Deaconess Center on Humboldt Parkway and the skilled-nursing unit in Millard Fillmore Hospital.
UB does not have a hospital of its own, and proponents of the projects see them as integral components of a vision to strengthen ties between UB and Kaleida Health to create the academic medical center Buffalo has lacked.
"Jim did a wonderful job of setting the stage for Kaleida Health to become a great health system," Hopkins said.
Kaskie, who could not be reached Friday to comment about his work or the resignation, also played key roles in the consolidation of services with ECMC, including the organ transplant program and behavioral health services.
The construction, closures and service changes would be difficult under the best of circumstances. They also took place as Kaleida Health responded to massive changes in the health care system, including pressure from insurers to control costs and passage of the Affordable Care Act.
"Jim accomplished a lot in a very tough business to manage. But the most significant thing about him is that he is a really good person – very ethical and moral," Joyce said.
He and others described Kaskie's management style as tireless but inclusive and collaborative. Even those who, at times, disagreed with Kaskie found him to be a likable person.
"We had different approaches and had our fights over what is best for health care in Western New York," said John Klein, former president of CWA Local 1168, which represents many of the workers at the hospital network.
"But Jim was approachable and someone who could work through issues," he said.
Kaskie previously worked as senior vice president for operations of Denver-based Catholic Health Initiatives, one of the largest non-for-profit health care organizations in the United States. A native of St. Louis, he earned a master's of health administration and a bachelor's in history from Saint Louis University, and a master's of business administration from Xavier University in Cincinnati.
Kaskie's CEO tenure lasted much longer than most in that position. Underperforming finances, in the end, appear to have been the main reason for his departure, but the desire for a leader with a different style may also have played a role.
"Part of this might just be the cycle and dynamics you see in this business," said Joyce, a close friend. "Institutions reach a point where there is value in getting a new blood and perspective."

Terasa sa cvecem ...
Bio sam sa mojim unukom kod njegove skolske drugarice, moje paznju privukla je terasa sa cvecem.
Muskatla, pelargonija i belagona su nazivi za biljke roda Pelargonium. Rod obuhvata oko 200 vrsta zeljastih biljaka, od kojih se neke uzgajaju kao kucne , a neke su bitne u industriji mirisa.
Kod nas se najvise gaji na terasama i prozorima.
Terrace with flowers ...
I was with my grandson with his classmate, my attention was drawn to a balcony with flowers.
Muscat, geranium and belagona names for plants of the genus Pelargonium. Genus includes about 200 species of herbaceous plants, some of which are bred as pets, and some are essential in the fragrance industry.
We are mainly grown on the terraces and windows.

Hi Pavle
A nice work and the stark contrast obviously hard to miss making the neat balcony looks even more graceful and it stands up without any description, emphasised further by the intense deep colours and touch of vivid red. A fine crop, clarity is adequate with good sharpness. Congrats
Best regards

Hi Paja,
I like this terrace very much, I always thought if I were wealthy I would have one in my home. Until that day though, I can look at this beautiful example instead :) the colors of this building are very nice, and the spots of red from the flowers bring a really nice extra element. Lovely view of this place, and great light too.
Have a great new week.

Hello Paja,
a lovely urban detail, effectively presented in a tight, symmetrical composition. The architect and owners of the house took great care about symmetry and you made the most of it too. The colours are vivid and agreeable, you captured the sunshine in a natural and delightful way and also offered great clarity to the shade. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,

Good observation to see these architectural details and create an attractive composition. The arch and down pipes help to frame the shot and the blue sky against the white is attractive. Nicely done

A federal republic comprising the republics of Serbia and Montenegro, Yugoslavia borders Hungary to the north, Romania to the northeast, Bulgaria to the southeast, Macedonia and Albania to the south, the Adriatic Sea to the southwest, and Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the west. Area: 102,173 sq km (39,449 sq mi). Pop. (1995 est.): 10,555,000. Cap.: Belgrade. Monetary unit: new dinar (second), with (Oct. 6, 1995) a par value equal to the Deutsche Mark (free rates of 1.42 new dinars [second] = U.S. $1 and 2.25 new dinars [second] = £ 1 sterling). President in 1995, Zoran Lilic; prime minister, Radoje Kontic.
Serbia's president, Slobodan Milosevic, regarded by many as the principal instigator of the war in former Yugoslavia, continued to play a key role in the peace process in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995. As before, his main concern seemed to be the lifting of UN sanctions imposed on Yugoslavia in May 1992 because of its involvement in the Bosnian war. Meanwhile, Milosevic continued to maintain a firm grip on power at home in Serbia and, to lesser degree, in Montenegro.
During the first half of 1995, Yugoslavia continued to supply military aid and personnel to the Serbs of western Slavonia and the self-declared "Serb Republic of Krajina" in Croatia. In response to appeals from Croatian Serbs for more soldiers, the Yugoslav authorities rounded up able-bodied Serbs from Croatia living in Serbia and sent them to the Serb-controlled regions of Croatia. Politically, however, Yugoslavia continued to distance itself from the Croatian Serbs and their policy of close cooperation with the Bosnian Serb leaders, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. Yugoslavia made no attempt to go to the aid of Serbs of western Slavonia in May or the Serbs of the Krajina in August when Croatia recaptured these areas in lightning military actions. Some Serb refugees were allowed to enter Yugoslavia and were typically sent either to Kosovo province, largely populated by the Albanian minority, or to Vojvodina, where they were given the homes of Croats and Hungarians who had fled or been expelled.
In June Milosevic played a key role in the release of UN hostages who had been captured by Bosnian Serbs following NATO raids on arms dumps near Pale, the Bosnian Serb headquarters near Sarajevo. Milosevic sent Jovica Stanisic, his chief of secret police, to put pressure on Karadzic and Mladic to release the hostages. They were all released by June 18. On November 28 Milosevic carried out a purge of pro-Karadzic members of his own party, including the party's vice president, Borislav Jovic, his close ally from the last days of former Yugoslavia, and Mihailo Markovic, Milosevic's chief ideologue in the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), the recycled League of Communists of Serbia. Jovic published a diary late in the year that was extremely unflattering of the Serbian president and suggested that he deliberately began the war in Yugoslavia. A similar purge had been carried out earlier in the organs of the mass media, where heads of radio and television as well as of some of the most important newspapers, such as the daily Politika, were replaced by people more attuned to Milosevic's policy in Bosnia.
The Bosnian Serbs' military actions in July, the bloody conquest of Srebrenica and Zepa, the threat to Gorazde, and the military push in the Bihac area all contributed to the marginalization of the Serbian political opposition. Meanwhile, Milosevic seemed to be attempting, with the aid of his wife, Mirjana Markovic, who led a small party called the United Yugoslav Left, to take Serbia away from a policy of overt nationalism. Often by precipitating scandals or using other means of pressure, pro-government people were slowly taking over constituencies where the opposition had won in 1993. The most radical nationalist opponent of Milosevic's, Vojislav Seselj, an erstwhile ally, had been imprisoned following an incident engineered by the secret police. His parliamentary immunity was lifted during a nocturnal session of the parliament, and he was quickly packed off to prison. Opinion polls, even in the small independent Belgrade press, showed Milosevic by far the most popular politician in the country.
His popularity in Serbia increased still further in the wake of the U.S.-brokered negotiations at Dayton, Ohio, in November at which he was seen to be playing a key role, negotiating on behalf of the Bosnian Serbs. Milosevic's greatest triumph in the eyes of war-weary Serbs was the lifting of sanctions by the United States after the signing of the Balkan accords in Paris on December 14. Throughout the year the constituent republic of Montenegro demonstrated irritation with Serbian policies. It refused to cooperate in the roundup of Serb troops to fight in Croatian territories, and it viewed Serbia's refusal to recognize Croatia unless it ceded the strategic Prevlaka promontory (at the entrance to the Yugoslav Gulf of Kotor naval base) as a potential threat to Montenegro's postwar relations with Croatia. In October Montenegro withheld payment of customs duties and taxes to the federal government as a protest against its nonpayment of Montenegrin pensions and disability benefits. One of the most prominent figures from the Tito era, Milovan Djilas, a dissident and writer hailing from Montenegro, died on April 20 at the age of 83.
Industrial production in Yugoslavia in January-November 1995 was 4.6% higher than in the corresponding period of 1994 but 48.5% lower than in 1991. Inflation was running at an annual rate of 114%.

A fugitive believed armed with a pistol and a shotgun was taken into custody at the Lafayette Hotel in North Park Saturday night after San Diego police evacuated part of the hotel, then sent a police dog after the man, authorities said.
Police said U.S. Marshals were trying to arrest the man on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, and learned that he was staying at the hotel on El Cajon Boulevard near Mississippi Street.
Officers surrounded the room about 7 p.m., evacuated some guests and repeatedly tried to persuade the man to surrender. They talked to him by phone and bullhorn.
The man's family members told authorities he had a pistol and shotgun, police Lt. Jerry Hara told KUSI News. Hara said the man agreed to come out of his room, but then went back inside.
Officers sent in a police dog and used "less-lethal munitions" to subdue the man and get him into custody about 10:30 p.m.
The man's name was not released.

Blockbuster Inc. plans to put itself up for sale after a disagreement with its creditors, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The newspaper, citing sources it did not name, says the movie rental chain could not agree with its creditors on a plan to get cash to help it exit bankruptcy protection. The Journal says a bidder could offer more than $300 million for the chain plus assuming debt and leases.
Blockbuster and its lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment. The chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September and said it would continue to operate its 3,300 stores.
Creditors including activist investor Carl Icahn and a group led by hedge fund Monarch Alternative Capital LP could vie to buy the chain out of bankruptcy, the Journal reported.
Once the dominant U.S. movie rental chain, the Dallas company lost money for years as Netflix Inc., video on demand and DVD rental kiosks stole business.

Sowers' Seed Lecture Features Dr. Nicole V. Lang, M.D. '89
Thursday, March 21, 4:30 pm - Social Hall
Eighth Annual Sowers' Seed Lecture Features Trinity Trustee Nicole V. Lang, M.D. '89
Alumnae, alumni and friends are encouraged to join the Trinity community on Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. in Social Hall for the eighth annual Sowers' Seed Lecture, featuring Dr. Nicole V. Lang M.D., '89. Founder, President and CEO of Washington Pediatric Associates, Dr. Lang will explore the relationships between faith and service as she shares her thoughts about concepts of community service and social justice as reaffirmed by her Trinity education.
Dr. Lang is a board certified physician; a tireless advocate for literacy, children and the disabled; Assistant Professor of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, GWU School of Medicine; and Vice Chair, Trinity Board of Trustees.
As a student in medical school, Dr. Lang worked in clinics in West Africa. The experience led her to spearhead an international partnership between her medical school and a medical school in Eritrea, East Africa, to promote medical education and residency programs. In addition, Dr. Lang serves on the boards of: Reach Out and Read (ROAR), a national nonprofit that promotes early literacy and school readiness; Lollipop Kids, a foundation that provides hope and support to disabled children and their families; and the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital.
Established by Kelly Snider Dunn '64 and her family, the Sowers' Seed program highlights alumnae who have incorporated into their lives the traditions of community service and social justice that are central to the Trinity experience and reflect the Catholic tradition that influences Trinity's mission. These alumnae are invited to come to campus to share their stories with Trinity students, in the hope that their stories will inspire new generations to consider community service, either as a volunteer or as a career.
Please plan to join us, and prepare to be inspired by a Trinity woman whose faith and energy translate to good works for her local and global communities. Prior to the lecture, representatives from several community non-profits will be available to speak with interested persons regarding volunteer opportunities at their organizations. For more information on this program, please contact Campus Ministry at 202/884-9653 or email@example.com.

Whether you're a parent, student, teacher or administrator, you probably have or have come across some strong opinions about New York's Common Core Exam.
Tonight, at Akron High School, state education officials are holding an open forum about the standardized tests implemented last year. Seemingly everyone except state officials say students and teachers had too little time to prepare for the more challenging tests. That was apparent in the much lower scores last year which will not be used to evaluate teachers.
Tonight's forum is sponsored by New York State Assembly Republicans and local Assemblyman Steve Hawley is expected to be there.
A Quinnipiac poll released yesterday said New Yorkers were split down the middle about whether the tests are actually helping students for college or careers.
It runs from 6 to 8 at the high school auditorium.

Good morning from the farm! This morning as I woke up, my whole bedroom was pink from the sunrise. It was so pretty. Knut had managed getting the kids breakfast without waking me, as he tries to do most mornings. I get my wake up call before he goes to work. In defense of my laziness, I often get up at night with little ones. He tried to get up last night with Solveig and her time of 2 year old molars. We've been trying to transition her to seeing him at night rather than me, as my attention will be on another baby soon. The transition has been going good, but last night she just screamed at him, and pounded his chest and said, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" So I stayed up rocking her for awhile. I gave her some more medicine, and stayed with her until it kicked in…which seemed to take forever.
Anyway, I'm blessed that I got to sleep in, and wake up to ready made coffee, fed kids, and all them engrossed in their own books in the living room. Can any mother ask for more? I think most mothers don't dare ask for this. I'm so blessed.
Part of this spoiling is the fact that this week Knut has some work events he needs to be at that will require him to be gone both when the kids wake up and when they go to bed. Basically, I have 2 days this week ahead of me where I'm on my own with them from dawn to dusk. He's worried it will put me into labor, and honestly, I share that worry. Fighting every fight with them on my own is wearing on the body at this point. If all 4 of them have perfect behavior for a few days, it will be no problem. Let's get real, though.
However, I am blessed to have made it to 37 weeks, and now this baby can safely come anytime. I don't feel ready for her to come, but I can at least feel good that she now won't be coming too early. It's happened only once to us before, and the work and frustration involved in a preemie I think maybe only other parents who have gone through it can understand.
This birth is starting to be on my mind pretty much all the time now. I'm trying to label it as "processing" instead of "worrying." I don't feel up to going through it yet. No one really looks forward to labor, but I do look forward to meeting this baby. I'm so curious what she is like, and what her personality will turn out to be. To think that I love someone so much who I don't know at all…it's a strange feeling.
However, the beginning of labor in the past has always been a relief, and I'm hoping I'll reach that feeling this time as well. I'm trying to focus on handling each moment at a time, and not the difficulties of several potential moments in one.
On another note…
I was so blessed this week to go with Silje and Knut to a missions presentation about Russia. It was the first missions event like this Silje has ever been to and it really hit her heart. She was so drawn in listening to the speaker, and learning about some people who lived above the arctic circle with reindeer, who had no medical access. This missionary trained in teams to fit glasses, take basic tests, and do basic screenings. These teams would go way up North and bring reading glasses, things like bandages and asprin and vitamins to these people with a life expectancy of 47, and how their lives were ultimately changed. Through video we saw the tears of the people there who felt so forgotten by the world, learn that God had not forgotten them.
She's was bold enough to go up to the speaker afterward, and ask him how she could be a missionary. He told her that wasn't something we do when we grow up, bringing the love of God was something God called all of us to do, all the time. He spent so much time with her, writing down verses for her to look up, and suggesting multiple things she could do as a child to show others God's love. She just drank it all in, and has been spending time studying all the verses he gave her.
It was so beautiful, this passion that was lit inside of her. I was so blessed to witness it. It tore at my heartstrings so deeply. I was so blessed that this prestigious speaker took the time to talk one on one with a little girl when he had all these potential donors lined up to chat with him afterward. He spoke to her like she was the only one in the room, and the person God had brought him there to speak to. I was very much moved.
How have you been blessed this last week? God has not forgotten us, has He? He sees us, and he knows the worries on our minds, and the difficulties we face. As always, I love to hear how God has blessed you. It's a very good way to start out the week!

The two leading actors of producer Vipul Shah's upcoming venture, 'Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', Akshay Kumar and Sinakshi Sinha became victims of the so-called language barrier, when some of their Tamilian crew members couldn't follow the instructions given by their Hindi-speaking colleagues. When the shooting was going-on in a desert in Jaipur, some unit members were asked to throw sand, for the required effect. Later, there were orders to stop throwing sand, but the Tamilian crew couldn't follow the instructions as they couldn't speak in Hindi.
Says producer Vipul Shah, "Sand got into Akki and Sonakshi's eyes, hair and clothes. It was worse for Sonakshi, but she, Akshay and my director Murugadoss treated the situation like a comedy of errors and laughed off the whole thing. They were truly sporting. Otherwise, a situation like this could have brought the shooting to a halt."
