…Failure to help gifted children reach their potential is a societal tragedy, the extent of which is difficult to measure but is surely great. How can we measure the loss of the sonata unwritten, the curative drug undiscovered, the absence of political insight? They are the difference between what we are and what we could be as a society.James J. Gallagher, Ph.D. Senior Scientist Emeritus, FPG CDC, UNC-CH

The comedian who has made a career of antagonizing his audience with some of the most deliberately awkward and lame jokes has stepped up to the mike in recent years to deliver something entirely different but still edgy: hardcore honky tonk music. 2008's Sings Country Winners was such a "hit" that Neil Hamburger decided that a live recording DVD of his new persona were in order. Along for the ride are an all-star band called the Too-Good-For-Neil Hamburger Band (made up of vets from various gigs backing up the likes of John Fogerty, Link Wray, and the Tubes). Most perversely, the show was recorded in the studio where Bing Crosby recorded "White Christmas"; shortly after this set was recorded the building was finally torn down — to make room for another fast-food joint. The plywood walls add to the gritty retro feel, as does, as you might imagine, the use of black-and-white film.
Given the caliber of the band, it is no wonder that this is a stinging set of classic country, with the pedal steel in full effect (manned by the semi-famous Joe Goldmark), as the kind of western shuffle that made palatable and universal many a sad, doom-leaden country lyric. Hamburger himself is perfect in this role as the sour, disheveled cowboy wringing out his heart to a drunken room.
From spy and jangly tunes like "Back to Fresno" and "Hugh's Brew" to the more jaundiced "Three Piece Chicken Dinner" and "Recycle Bin," Hamburger and company play it straight. A plodding, sarcastic cover of the Bee Gee's "I Started a Joke" went over best with the crowd. Less successful were a couple bad jokes about, of all things, Smashmouth.
Western Music and Variety, aside from strong music, helps showcase Neil Hamburger's confrontational persona in new ways, beyond his usual fare. It also stands up pretty well as a solid, if skewed, country set. Hasil Atkins would be proud.

The former head of legal at The Times, Alastair Brett, is to appear before the High Court next week in an appeal against his suspension from practice and costs of £30,000 imposed by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) last year.
Brett's appeal will be heard in the Administrative Court next Wednesday (23 July).
He is appealing against an SDT decision handed down in December (6 December 2013). The SDT suspended Brett from practice for six months from 16 December and imposed costs of £30,000 after finding that he had failed to act with integrity and knowingly allowed a court to be misled in the conduct of litigation.
The allegations were related to Brett's conduct while head of legal for The Times and the unveiling of a Lancashire policeman as the writer of the 'NightJack' blog in 2009.
Mr Justice Eady ruled against an injunction preventing The Times reporting that NightJack was policeman Richard Horton. However it later emerged that a reporter had initially hacked into Horton's personal email to get the story before standing it up by legitimate means, and had discussed it with Brett, leading to allegations that Brett had misled the High Court by failing to mention the hacking at the injunction hearing.
The issue was part of the evidence given by Brett to the Leveson Inquiry in 2012.
In its written judgment, the SDT panel said "key mitigating factors" including "impressive character testimonials, the respondent's long and distinguished career, the fact that this was a single episode of misconduct" and Brett's cooperation with the tribunal meant that it had decided not to strike him off the solicitors' roll but instead to suspend him.
"It was to be hoped that the respondent would use the relatively short period of suspension to reflect on events and to identify strategies for preventing such difficulties in his future work. He was encouraged to identify, in particular, how he might have dealt with matters differently in order to develop genuine insight into what he had done wrong, which the Tribunal had found to be largely absent when he was giving his oral evidence," said the panel's judgment.
Brett turned to Slater & Gordon lawyer Shula de Jersey and Doughty Street Chambers' Sue Sleeman at the SDT but is understood to be representing himself before the Administrative Court.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has retained Capsticks partner Daniel Purcell, instructing Fountain Court Chambers' Timothy Dutton QC, for the appeal.

USA Today bestselling author Cathy Maxwell delivers another passionate romance wherein marriage is based on convenience not love, and only desire can get in the way.
In this heartwarming, if uneven, Regency-era romance from Maxwell (The Wedding Wager), readers must traverse a hasty open where duels and marriage proposals take place in a few sentences. Before long, however, exotic and demure Deborah Percival fills the page. At 27, she's widow to a man more than 30 years her senior, to whom she was married by her penniless family for practical reasons. Deb suspects there's something to marriage which she has missed out on, but she doesn't think she'll find what she's looking for in Parson Ames, the man the town matchmaker believes she should marry. Enter Anthony Aldercy, the wealthy fifth earl of Burnell, who has been shunned by society for his father's scandalous suicide. Deb meets Anthony in an inn on her way to visit her half-sister, Lizbet, and their instant attraction quickly leads them to bed, despite the fact that Anthony is engaged to London's debutante of the season. Although Anthony is taken with Deb, his honor won't allow him to break his engagement. Instead he offers her a position as his mistress. Insulted, Deb takes off, but the two meet and become intimate again in London only to face the same dilemma as before his honor or their love? Maxwell's prose is simple, unlike her characters, whose many motivations and conflicting emotions make for a lively and surprising read. (July 2) Forecast: The Wedding Wager hit the New York Times bestseller list at #15 and was bumped off a mere week later, but Maxwell's steadily growing fan base will ensure that her latest enjoys a longer sojourn at the top of the charts.

Graduate Studies
Conference Interpreting
4700 Keele Street
North York, ON
Program Information
Degrees Offered:
Conference Interpreting
Format: Campus
Program Description:
The new Master of Conference Interpreting (MCI) program at Glendon seeks to prepare a new generation of skilled and knowledgeable professionals for a rewarding career in this dynamic, fast-paced field. The MCI Program at Glendon The Master of Conference Interpreting (MCI) degree is a two-year program, lasting a total of six academic terms. Program candidates must pass an entrance examination, at which point they will enter Year One. Upon successful completion of the first three terms of Year One, students have the option of exiting the program and receiving the Graduate Diploma in General Interpreting. Those who elect to stay in the program must pass a transition examination leading to Year Two. After the successful completion of another three terms—and of the end-of-degree exit examination—students will earn the Master of Conference Interpreting degree. Career potential The employment outlook for conference interpreters is extremely positive. The majority of interpreters working today belong to the baby boom generation, which means that they have reached or are reaching retirement age. Moreover, the demand for qualified conference interpreters is very high, and it is only expected to grow. Around the world, the bodies that employ in-house interpreters are taking special measures to recruit a new generation of professionals. There are also ample opportunities for freelance interpreters. Many freelancers earn their living from government contracts—staff interpreters alone cannot keep up with demand—and there are also very lively parapublic and private sector markets in Canada. Any union, association, bank, insurance company or other corporation that has a national profile will need to hire freelance interpreters for the press conferences, internal meetings, conventions, webcasts and teleconferences that they organize. Languages The MCI at Glendon is focused on Canada's official languages, English and French. However, since interpreters who want to work abroad need a minimum of three working languages, the MCI also enables students to train with other language pairs as well. Language pairs include: English/Spanish; English/Portuguese; English/Mandarin.

Environmental Geosciences
A series of coastal zone hazard maps cover the area impacted by Hurricane Hugo (1989) in eastern Puerto Rico. The mapping strategy was to develop a tool for quick visualization of multiple hazards for use by coastal planners, managers, property owners, and potential property owners. The Puerto Rico shoreline is heavily developed in places and also highly compartmentalized in terms of shoreline types, geology, and adjacent shelf conditions. Hazards such as coastal erosion, storm surge, riverine flooding, landsliding, and seismic impact also may be compartmentalized. From a management perspective, resources therefore can be allocated on a compartment-by-compartment basis.
Six types of hazards were considered in this investigation: (1) shoreline-setting hazards (long-term coastal problems), (2) marine hazards (short-term impacts of coastal storms), (3) earthquake and slope hazards (ground shaking, landslides, and liquefaction), (4) riverine hazards (historical floods), (5) development hazards (high-density development at risk or lowdensity development in extreme-hazard settings), and (6) engineering hazards (special cases in which shoreline engineering projects such as breakwaters or sand mining have significant detrimental effects on portions of the shoreline). Shoreline segments were ranked as being at extreme, high, moderate, or low risk, depending on the number of hazards present within that segment. These rankings are likely to change, gradually over decades with natural coastal evolution, more rapidly as human development infringes on the coastal zone, or in an instant during a severe storm. The hazard maps provide a basis for hazard mitigation and management recommendations.
Key Words: coastal hazards, hazard maps, hurricanes, Puerto Rico, sea level changes.

well i'd say it is very creative in several ways. i like having an animal rather than humans in these types of pictures. i also like how the animal (i think it's a deer) is wearing clothes... i don't really see that too often. plus giving the deer "hands" was a very good i liked it a lot. blowing the hearts... AMAZING! pixel or not i still really liked it! making the out line purple made it look cool and filling the body in white made the picture a lot more simple not to much going on. (and that's a good thing)! so i guess i found nothing bad... i really loved this picture keep up the good work!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
6 out of 6 deviants thought this was fair.
Nice idea...like the animated clever appeal...
Cute idea of moving the heart from her sweater to a blow of air from a kiss.
I love the idea you got here

Electronic health records have become a mandate in some jurisdictions for funding to be given to medical organizations. Some hospitals, health centers, and medical care providers are voluntarily transitioning to EHR software. With the world population scheduled to hit 10 billion people around the year 2050, the flow of medical information on each person is going to be massive. EHR helps to manage those records effectively.
Although electronic health records help to manage the flow of information in better ways, there are some pros and cons that need to be considered.
What Are the Pros of Electronic Health Records?
1. It facilitates better patient care at multiple medical facilities.
With EHR software, instead of having to fill out questionnaires every time a new patient visits a doctor for the first time, a simple request to access their electronic data could be requested instead. This would give the new doctor full access to specific health data.
2. It consolidates all records from all specialists.
Instead of needing to constantly request medical records when a patient visits a specialist, the family doctor, the specialist, and everyone else involved on a treatment team can easily pull up the EHR and access specific diagnosis information to stay in the loop. With more doctors have more precise information, better care can be achieved.
3. It creates faster payment processing.
EHR software can be designed to incorporate billing codes based on what happens when a patient visits a doctor. These billing codes can then be electronically submitted to insurance companies, single payer funds, or whomever else is covering a patient so that payment is received more quickly.
What Are the Cons of Electronic Health Records?
1. It exposes more patient data to fraudulent activities.
Because patient records would become electronic, they become more exposed to information loss that occurs when hackers strike. Although paper records can do the same thing, hardcopy files must be access locally. Electronic files can be accessed globally.
2. Data loss might mean the complete loss of an EHR.
If all records are electronic, then what happens if the computer or server that is storing the EHR crashes, malfunctions, or cannot be accessed because of a power outage? The chance of data loss are different with electronic records, but they still exist and this jeopardizes the continuity of care.
3. Privacy loss may become easier to achieve.
Patient files have typically been stored in extensive filing systems on site at a medical facility. With an EHR, those files are stored on HDDs, servers, and flash drives. All it takes is for a doctor or receptionist to leave a patient's file open on a computer for privacy to be lost.
Many of the benefits of electronic medical records help to facilitate better care. If the disadvantages are considered and accounted for, then an effective EHR software system can be safely implemented.

text: What time should be allocated to English, Gaeilge and Mathematics on the school timetable? What time should be allocated to English, Gaeilge and Mathematics on the school timetable? The Literacy and Numeracy Strategy requires that schools allocate 330 hours to first language subjects, English in English-medium schools, Gaeilge in Irish-medium schools, and to Mathematics. In order to promote high standards of literacy and numeracy it is seen as desirable that students would have classes in these subjects frequently. The Junior Certificate syllabuses for these subjects were designed to be taught in approximately 240 hours. The new Junior Cycle specifications in these subjects will, likewise, be designed to be taught in 240 hours. Schools currently allocate the extra hours in a variety of ways to drive literacy and numeracy strategies and will continue to do so in the new junior cycle. How they choose to do this is a matter for the school. Some allocate extra subject classes. Some use the time for specific initiatives such as reading schemes, programmes and strategies. Others see cross-curricular initiatives where students develop their language and engagement with numeracy through a range of subjects and learning activities. The new junior cycle promotes flexibility and choice for the school in how it deploys its resources and its approach to allocating the time required for literacy and numeracy is a good example of this.

The Faithful Couple Hardback
by A. D. Miller
California, 1993: Neil Collins and Adam Tayler, two young British men on the cusp of adulthood, meet at a hostel in San Diego.
They strike up a friendship that, while platonic, feels as intoxicating as a romance; they travel up the coast together, harmlessly competitive, innocently collusive, wrapped up in each other.
On a camping trip to Yosemite they lead each other to behave in ways that, years later, they will desperately regret. The story of a friendship built on a shared guilt and a secret betrayal, The Faithful Couple follows Neil and Adam across two decades, through girlfriends and wives, success and failure, children and bereavements, as power and remorse ebb between them.
Their bifurcating fates offer an oblique portrait of London in the boom-to-bust era of the nineties and noughties, with its instant fortunes and thwarted idealism. California binds them together, until-when the full truth of what happened emerges, bringing recriminations and revenge-it threatens to drive them apart.
The Faithful Couple confirms Miller as one of the most exciting and sophisticated novelists in the UK - someone who can tell a great story, with a sense of serious moral complexity.
This is that rare bird: a literary novel with mass appeal as well as the potential to win prizes.

Review by KateVane
Two British men in their early twenties meet in a backpacker's hostel in California. They are both alone and despite - or perhaps because of - their different backgrounds, they form a friendship and travel on together. Then something happens - no spoilers so I won't say what - which both tests and deepens their friendship.They return to London where Adam - child of privilege - is beginning a career in television while Neil - son of a shopkeeper - is going nowhere, working in his dad's stationer's and living at home. The novel follows their friendship over the years as their lives change in ways you might not expect, against a backdrop of Blairite politicking and the dotcom bubble.It's a moderately interesting look at London over two decades, the nature of money, power, class and male relationships. We see how the two men negotiate love (familial and romantic) and responsibility. But the event that is supposed to shape the narrative and their lives, the thing-that-happened-that-I-can't-mention, does not, for me, carry that weight. I wasn't convinced that they would care about the thing that much, even if they should. And even if they do care about it, it's questionable how far it actually influences their behaviour.As the book progresses, it becomes quite repetitive. One of the two men experiences some change in their life. This leads them to consider the thing-that-happened afresh. They may or may not discuss the thing. At a certain point there is another thing-I-can't-mention which feels contrived and thrown in only to give the plot some impetus. There are some more relationship dramas, then an ending which I'd also better not mention but which for me was abrupt and unsatisfactory.There was some atmosphere in this book and a sense of time and place. The interplay between the two main characters, and the shifting power dynamics, were interesting at the beginning. But for me the story drifted and the characters needed a stronger theme to sustain them.

It was revealed that back on August 8, he treated the cast and crew of 'Our Gab Soon' to yummy and healthy samgyetang (chicken soup with ginseng)! A rep revealed that Song Jae Rim deemed the people on set were having a hard time due to the heat wave and needed something good for their health, like samgyetang, so he personally prepared the menu choices and everything. You know how thorough he is from 'We Got Married'!
Everyone, who was sick of working in the heat, was very grateful for the energy provided by the yummy meal. The atmosphere also became livelier in their gratitude toward Song Jae Rim.

CCO is a faith-based, non-partisan organization focusing on the primary initiatives that cause concern for our families and neighborhoods; i.e. housing and community development, safe neighborhoods, healthcare, economic empowerment, and youth development, to name a few.
Foreclosures bring blight, empty homes, crime and dumping issues to communities and my neighborhood was no exception. After weeks of trying to get the City to come out and remove an ever-growing pile of trash and furniture, I called on CCO for help. We had an action, right there in front of the pile of trash, publicized it through the media, and our City Councilwoman joined us and with a couple of phone calls, had that whole mountain of garbage hauled away.
CCO and its leaders and staff have worked tirelessly to improve not only Kansas City neighborhoods, but the entire metro area, including Kansas City, Kansas, and throughout mid-Missouri. Our Executive Director, Eva Schulte heads our organization and under her leadership, CCO has helped secure funding for housing, neighborhood improvements, and health care initiatives, to name a few. These improvements have brought hope and high expectations to our communities that together, we can accomplish even greater things.
Our church has been working with CCO for six years now, and we love the organization. We have watched CCO more than double its capacity in that time, under the great leadership of Executive Director Eva Schulte. Eva manages to hire simply outstanding organizers and to make them even better. Working with CCO has allowed our church to be involved in important change in our city and state; it has greatly increased our own capacity to make change as well. We've been particularly involved in the campaign to cap Missouri's outrageous interest rates on short term loans, which currently average 445% APR. When we are successful in that effort, it will change the lives of thousands of people in our community. We have also been strengthened by the ability to work side by side with a diverse array of persons from nearly every sort of faith community in the Kansas City metro. We look forward to many more years of organizing with CCO.

Attorney: Suit filed against BLM to defend private property rights
The lawsuit filed in federal district court in Wichita Falls against the Bureau of Land Management is to provide some resolution and relief from claims by the federal agency that has put the landowners on hold for several years now. Robert Henneke, director of the Center for the American Future at the Texas Public Policy Foundation in Austin, said the purpose of the lawsuit titled Aderholt et al v. Bureau of Land Management et al is to defend the property rights of landowners from what they characterize as a land grab. "... at the end of the day, the successful outcome for us and what we're pursuing in court is to have the federal district court in Wichita Falls affirmatively determine and affirm that the BLM federal territory does not extend into Texas, that it stops at the gradient boundary of the south cut bank of the Red River where it currently exists today, as was determined and intended by the Supreme Court," Henneke said, "and to once and for all resolve this private property dispute so that our clients and other citizens in Texas that live ... along this stretch of the Red River can be back at peace, knowing that their property is their's and that they will not be suffering any other threat of seizure from the federal government." The attorney said the issue goes back to the creation of the Texas-Oklahoma border in the 1800s, at which time it was established as the south cut bank of the river. Because of the soft, sandy riverbed, he said the river was constantly changing, resulting in the lawsuit that went to the Supreme Court in 1923. SCOTUS defined, through a survey completed by Cols. Arthur Stiles and Arthur Kidder, as the gradient boundary between south cut bank and the edge of water in the river. "It's always been private property. They've always paid taxes on it, they've ranched it, they've farmed it," Henneke said. "There's never been any claim about their property other than that it was their private property as recognized — the patents that were issued by the state of Texas, the land to the chain of titles and to the tax records and private property recognition."...more

Who wants to deal with organizing winter attire when spring is almost here?
No one does but isn't it wonderful to feel calm and relaxed in a tidy well-organized home?
When it comes to organization my readers told me that they look for
effective, efficient, and inexpensive storage solutions.
Guess what? Me too!
Do you wrestle with a scenario like this….
64 scarves,
43 pairs of mittens,
27 pairs of gloves,
24 beanies,
and umpteen blankets and throws that never stay organized?
Game Changer Storage Solution
I installed 4 inexpensive curtain rods
on the inside of the door to the coat closet just for the mittens, scarves, and beanies.
Round curtain rings with clips were added to the top two rods to hold
beanies and mittens together.
The 3rd and 4th-rod hold scarves.
It took about 30-45 minutes to get the hardware installed
and another 10 minutes to hang everything.
This has worked for us for five years now and I wouldn't change a thing!
Cost: $30
When the door opens it's not crazy looking clutter.
It's easy to see what matches an outfit without digging through
drawers or sifting through baskets looking for the match to a favorite pair of gloves.
That drove me nuts!
Re-rolling scarves that were hurriedly taken but clashed with an outfit and were tossed on an entry chair….
not my idea of time well spent.
It's going on 4 years now and this scarf organization solution is still effective.
It's amazingly easy to walk in the door and clip a hat and gloves
then loop the scarf on the rods.
If you are renting right now, this solution probably won't make your landlords happy
but I've found some excellent ideas for you on Tidy Living.
How to Organize Your Scarves the Easy Way.
Moving along now…. 🙂
Affordable Storage For Blankets & Throws
Another thing winter dwellers deal with is an enormous amount of blankets.
There are decorative ones,
every day throws,
guest room throws,
and seasonal comforters to contend with.
They are big and bulky and take up a ton of valuable closet real estate.
Enter the classic under bed storage bag!
The best deal yet at just $7.
What's even nicer, is Zakiya and Thomas gave me a discount code
to share with my newsletter subscribers.
[optin-cat id="4395″]
Here in this bag are two of my most favorite king sized
squishy soft cuddle blankets and two smaller decorative throws.
This bag is a storage champ and delivers major savings on closet real-estate.
Look how small they fold up too.
Super convenient!
Believe me, when I say that I've tried
numerous cute storage ideas and all were colossal failures!!!
Underbed storage is a life saver for us.
I have a few more home organization ideas to share with you too.
Between now and then, check out the fantastic tips shared on Tidy Livings Blog.
A couple of my favorite are-
Spring Cleaning Tips to Help You Purge & Get Organized
I'm looking for even more organizing ideas and there's a few more I'll be sharing soon.
Leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite organization solutions are.
This post was compensated. Affordable storage is too good not to share!
Battling tangled scarves like a pit of snakes, the hunt for lost mittens like Indiana Jones and messes are true stories.

Its also dropped to 17.5 kmpl for the same distance if I'm a hurry Thanks @linea4me , Yes I do maintain the re-circulation mode. My question is what's temperature setting required on a normal day or evening with full auto on? My friend recently informed me that he set's it to 19 degrees or sometimes 18 degrees constantly throughout the drive.

text: This is an original, accessible, and comprehensive survey of life as it was experienced by most Englishwomen during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The authors examine virtually all aspects of women's lives: female life-stages from birth to death; the separate culture of women, including female friendship and feminist consciousness; the diverse roles of women in the religious and political movements of the day; and the effect of prevailing perceptions of gender differences. Comparisons are made between the makeshift economy of poor women and the occupational identities, and preoccupations, of the middling and elite classes. This fascinating and well-illustrated book reconstructs the mental and material world of Tudor and Stuart women, and is sure to become the standard text on the subject.

Just had £40 of flowers delivered to celebrate our anniversary but I would have been better going down local supermarket . Quantity and quality of flowers very poor, water base broken. Although I had an issue a few years ago I thought they would have been much better - unfortunately that hasn't been the case.

Body is Fine-Legs Need Work. Spare bedroom furniture. The design is aweswome. It is heavy weight-not flimsy-solid The leg connection design is awesome but the hardware to it needs work-the legs bent as I was standing it up-the dresser is too heavy for the hardware
very attractive day bed. We got two of these day beds to replace old sleeper sofas in our beach house. Much easier to use, the second bed just slides out, a bigger couch to lay about on, and a much better mattrass! The old couch pillows worked well on the day bed too!
overall good product, except for bolts. The bolts that go in the top to attach the sides and back were about an inch too short, and the bottom bolts were about 1/2" too long, so we had to replace them to get the best, safest result. Shipping price seemed it could be lower, especially considering the two-week wait. See above for how we use it, and what's great about it.
Quality and Great Customer Service. Really nice quality and super Affordable. Would highly recommend to anyone.
More beautiful than I expected. Perfect. Thank you for a beautiful kitchen set. It look so beautiful in the eating area. The chairs are so comfortable with the cushion on seat and back. We will enjoy this for many year to come. The packinging of the product was so good that there was not a mark or scratch on anything even the glass top. Thank you again for beautiful table and chair set. It is just what I wanted.
Perfect look and function. We required additional linen storage in our bathrooms and this product filled our needs. It is functional and attractive without dominating the available space. We now have two in our bathrooms.
Should have bought this years ago! Not crazy about the cover fabric (design) but it does hold up well. I have this piece on my wonderful covered patio and just love to sit there with a good book and a glass of fine wine.
Looked high and low...found it here! I was looking for a comfortable sunroom chair with a whitewash finish in a world where dark finishes seem to be "in". No local stores carried what I was looking for and then I found it on your website. Spice Island had a chair which made the perfect addition to my new sunroom. When I asked if it was possible to have matching throw pillows made, everyone was extremely accommodating. My chair and pillow arrived a few days ago and I am a very satisfied customer who will be shopping at ShopLadder in the future!
looks exactly like the picture. look very nice. good quality
Excellent product [...]. Great gift idea for my 1 1/2 yr old grand daughter. Hoping she can pass it down to her children some day.
Comfortable, high quality. Beautiful furniture, sturdy compared to most rattan or wicker, as well as thick cushions for comfort.
excellant product. the is used for relaxing in front of fire place reading my bible the chair is beautiful comfortable and the sides go all the way down so if i drop something its by my side and it doesent hit the floor so i don't have to get up the chair is a little hard to clean but its was expected being wicker well worth the effort to clean
Rockin Out. Attractive
Beautiful, Crafted, Detailed. Beautiful, crafted, detailed and a set I will build my entire decorating scheme around in my new home. I hoped there were some accompanying recliner, lounger, or chaise type option.
A great product for the money. I purchase 7 pieces of the Spice Island collection and it is beautiful. I ordered fabric samples and then decided to upgrade to the all weather fabric, and I am very pleased that I did. The fabric is of the highest quality and the set is simply beautiful!

"Yesteryear Wicker is the world's only antique wicker reproduction specialist who can reproduce this extremely labor intensive wicker at a price that can be afforded by today's American family.
I have been importing since 1987 when I decided to make my hobby, collecting antique wicker, into my profession. I could not believe that no one was reproducing, and thus preserving, such a fantastic part of America's heritage. It seemed that every other style of antique furniture was being reproduced except this beautifully hand-crafted product, much of which was hand-made by Irish immigrants in the Boston area where the Heywood Wakefield Company originated.
Since 1987, however, wicker has steadily grown more popular every year and it now occupies the respect and affection it deserves. We, as a company, have come a long way since receiving that first container of wicker which we stored in my father's barn. I had a phone installed in that barn so that I could take orders, pack them up then walk up to my father's basement which was 100 yards away to type up the invoice. After forgetting to charge several customers due to fatigue, I figured I better hire some office help and we have been growing steadily ever since. We have not grown as fast as some importers because we wanted to make wicker that matched the quality of those skillful Irish immigrants of yesteryear. It has been an uphill struggle but we are proud to say, in all honesty and sincerity, that we have the highest quality wicker in the world, bar none. It is very hard for us to even find factories who will even attempt to make the intricate and complicated designs we import. We have been very fortunate to hook up many years ago with an Indonesian manufacturer who was educated in the United States and understands the requirements of the American consumer and who takes great pride in making the most difficult to make designs on the market today. "
Sincerely yours,
Don Walker President

This research examines the impact of bus degregulation at the level of the company. It follows a case study approach. The findings are analysed in the context of contestability theory and organisation theories, as well as empirical evidence. The first part of this research views the bus industry in terms of the effects that the regulatory system has had on the industry's suppliers, and examines the roots of the legal provisions of the 1985 Transport Act. The second part focuses on the organisational context. It establishes the challenges that bus companies face by reference to the pre-1985 situation, and provides an interpretation of strategic responses in the early post-1985 era. In addition, it introduces the type of strategic options open to companies operating in declining markets, and outlines a theoretical organisational framework within which this case's organisational changes are to be analysed. Finally, the research design and research methods are presented. The third part consists of a detailed analysis of the selected case study company: Midland Fox Limited. It introduces the local market structure and basic data on the company. The major patterns of corporate strategy are presented and analysed, and key areas of managerial activity studied. The competitive behaviour of the company is then discussed in the context of competitive events that have occurred in the market. The fourth and concluding part of this case study research discusses the most significant issues arising from this investigation in terms of their implications for future developments in the bus industry.

It's not unusual for me to get messages from friends, former students and strangers asking for help with their running. When faced with these requests, I'm happy to hammer out a content-free pep talk, sharing slogans and koans that have helped me in the past. Or I just say, "You can totally do this," even if I have no idea whether it's true.
When people ask me what running and writing have in common, I tend to look at the ground and say it might have something to do with discipline: You do both of those things when you don't feel like it, and make them part of your regular routine. You know some days will be harder than others, and on some you won't hit your mark and will want to quit. But you don't. You force yourself into a practice, the practice becomes habit and then simply part of your identity. A surprising amount of success, as Woody Allen once said, comes from just showing up.
[First published in The Outdoor Journal]
Let's begin by admitting that when you start, it's bloody awful.
After you lace up your new running shoes for the first time, step into your short shorts with the built-in panties, pull on a tee-shirt made of recycled plastic bottles or some other technical material that will, eventually, start to stink in the armpits no matter how often you wash it, when you head out the door for that debut run, you might feel good for the first few minutes. You might even feel great. You might hear Bruce Springsteen singing that tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
The years I don't go, it feels like I'm missing a party. I get texts and emails and photos in the weeks and days before the race. I get invitations to gatherings and receptions. I feel left out. And then, on race day, I sit at the computer and look up bib numbers. I read the split times to see who started out at a pace I know he can't hold, who's slowing in the second half, and who surprised herself by doing better than she expected to. I read updates on the elite racers from my many writer friends and hear about all the fun I missed.
Used to be, I was the youngster. I scrambled up the professional career ladder of scholarly publishing so fast that I often had a hard time getting people to believe that yes, I really was an editor from Oxford University Press, not a graduate student. I had to devise ways to make sure that wait staff in the fancy restaurants to which I took my authors, often men twenty or a hundred years my senior, gave me the check. I cringed when Hannibal Lector pointed out Clarice's good bag and cheap shoes. I had good bags and cheap shoes.
It's not like I really thought I was going to marry Frank Shorter. But when I found out that we would be staying at the same house during the weekend of the 2012 TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K race in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, I thought, well, he's smart and attractive and accomplished. Maybe I'll marry Frank Shorter.
From the book edited by Brendan Vaughan
|When you look at him, at the manicured beard and well-shorn, though balding, head, the Italian leather shoes and smart-cut suit, it's no longer so easy to recognize Jonathan for the geek he truly is. Mostly you can see it in his hazel eyes, now that he's learned to clean his glasses so they are no longer covered with a grimy film. There are still lots of "ums" and "ahs" that punctuate the cadence of his sentences, but he's gotten better at getting to the point. That Jonathan is a successful academic doctor who is invited to speak all over the world will surprise no one who meets him; that he is responsible for millions of dollars of research grants and heads up a clinic at one of the best university hospitals in the country seems perfectly appropriate. This is clearly an accomplished individual. However, he's changed a lot in the decade and a half we've known each other.
We were originally set up by well-intentioned friends. When I first saw Jonathan I thought I should be more careful in choosing my friends. His pants were about three sizes too big, his glasses were cobbled together with duct tape, and there were traces of his last meal on his tie. On the way to dinner, Jonathan drove with his arm out the car window. Not in the casual way that men have, one arm resting lightly outside the car while steering confidently with the other hand; no, the door didn't close properly and Jonathan had to hold it shut lest it fly open.
But Jonathan's deftness soon became apparent. Not because he fixed his TV by tipping it forward at a precipitous angle which made watching it, for me, a chore but delighted Jonathan because he had been able to rescue the device from the dump. Not because he once spent countless days and hundreds of dollars designing an insulated house for his pet pig that had a separate "furnace" room, thermostat, and window. Not because if you give him a problem he won't stop until he's solved it, often in inspired and creative ways. It's that Jonathan brings things to the brink of disaster and then, through ingenuity and quickness, though intellectual agility and physical prowess, he pulls off a spectacular save.
We were moving in together, Jonathan and I, and had leased a large, luxurious house in a snooty neighborhood. Jonathan had been responsible for finding the movers. He'd set up the date, and on the day of the move, we sat at our individual houses atop our packed boxes and waited. The movers were instructed to go first to my place, load up, move on to Jonathan's, load up, and then unload at our new love nest. Everything was all set.
Except that they never showed. It got later and later and when we finally called, they had no record of our move.
Naturally, Jonathan and I had both waited until the very end of our leases, and we had to be out that night. At the last possible moment, dangerously near closing time, we rented a gigantic truck, and, with the help of our mutual friend, Mary, and my less-than-athletic brother, Mark, we worked until the early hours moving ourselves.
The next morning, Jonathan and Mark took my dog, Hannah, for a walk to survey the grounds. Our new home was nestled at the top of a long, uphill driveway. The moving truck was conveniently parked close to the house, facing down.
They had been walking on the street and, for who knows what reason, had looked back, at just the right moment, to admire the house. I believe that my brother, when he closes his eyes at night, can still see it: the big truck was rolling down the driveway, headed for the posh home of one of our new neighbors. Jonathan had forgotten to set the emergency brake.
My brother, a lawyer, mentally ran through all of the possible outcomes.
"Oh shit!" he said, his body locked in panic.
"Oops," said Jonathan.
With superhuman speed, Jonathan sprinted up the driveway. The massive truck was gaining velocity by the second; Jonathan knew too well the formula for momentum. He jumped onto the running board along the side the door, but there was nothing to hold onto. He grabbed the side-view mirror, which swung in his hand, and tried to balance himself, surfing toward the neighbor's home.
Then Jonathan realized that he'd locked the door to the truck.
With one hand he clawed the roof of the truck; with the other, he fumbled in his pants for the keys.
Reaching deep into his pockets he came out with a handful of change and the key to the new house. So he opened the truck with a paperclip—just kidding. He dug in once again and this time found the right one, then jammed in the key and tried to open the door. But his body was in the way. The house across the street loomed closer. Jonathan maneuvered himself behind the door as my brother gazed on at a scene straight out of some kind of twisted indy action flick: our bearded, balding, hero attached to a rolling truck en route to a colossal moment of destruction.
Jonathan got the door open. He swung into the driver's seat. In one swift motion he pulled hard—on the windshield wiper lever.
"Oops," Jonathan said.
He grabbed again, and this time he got the emergency break.
The truck squealed angrily to a halt, having crossed the street, the front wheels stopping just before the golf-course-green grass of the neighbor's lawn.
"Oops," said Jonathan.
JAMA – Apostrophe by Rachel Toor
From JAMA, The Journal of the American Medical Association
Because of the specialty you chose, and by dint of your personality and the way you practice medicine, I'm sure this letter will be familiar to you; just another missive from a bereaved family member of one of your patients, gushing gratitude for the care of her beloved (good feelings have to find a place to go, in the mix of the displacement of death and vexed family dynamics and often, I suspect, get planted on physicians, whether deserved or not); just another pile of clichés and the inanities we say and think in times when our thinking is muddied by grief.

Menu's patented Decanting Pourer filters, splits, and oxygenates the wine as you pour. Goodbye to decanters and too many bottles opened before dinner and hello to a grand taste sensation - even when the wine is an everyday table variety. Drip-free and easy to use - simply place in the top of the bottle, pour and drink. No more need to wait for your wine to open up.
Once you've tried this you'll want to buy one for each of your friends. (We've had customers who've done exactly that!)
So how does it work?
Inside the centre section is an hourglass shaped section. As the wine moves from a wide aperture to a narrow aperture it creates the Venturi effect. A vacuum occurs and air is sucked rapidly through the small hole in the side of the pourer. This rush of air oxygenates the wine before it passes through an eight hole filter and into your glass.
This is one of Make's all time best-selling products.

During the early years of study, correctness is often the focus, pleasing the judge is important, and in some cases little more is asked of the student. Sometimes signs of originality and spirit, such as experimentation and improvisation, are sternly suppressed by teachers, as countless adults have told me from their own frustrated memories. The theory seems to be that everyone ought to master the "basics" first; and later, the good stuff – personal connection to the notes, spontaneous feeling, imagination – can be added, like icing on a cake. … When the day finally arrives that we've mastered enough basics, will the spark of vitality still be there? -William Westney, The Perfect Wrong Note

Wonderful quote! I adore Mr. Westney's book like crazy. Thanks for sharing!
I agree – The Perfect Wrong Note is a terrific book and a much-needed antidote to a lot of what we do in traditional study – we do it because it's traditional and not because it makes sense. I liked the book so much that I was able to get a grant to bring Westney to the University of Iowa in March. I can't wait!
Wow! Can you tell me more about him coming?
Well, the grant brings him for 1 full day. He will be giving workshops and presentations, and a public lecture. I'm very curious and really looking forward to it.
Do you have a date yet?

EUR/USD seems to be moving in an extended dip and it seems that sooner or later it will take some retrace. This retracement will setup EUR/USD for a nice dip towards 1.4150 level and also provide intra-day traders to sell EUR/USD with the trend. The first retracement level can be seen around 1.4340 level and traders will be initially looking to sell around that level. In case the retracement is extended, the next level to be considered can be seen around 1.4440 level.
Looking at the moving averages used in the daily charts, it can be seen that currently the market is well below all the three moving averages and in case of retracement, the EUR/USD will look to touch the medium and long term moving averages which seems to be currently crossing each other around 1.4340 level so basically this also indicates the importance of that level and that seems to indicate a good entry for an extended trade with the long term trend.
The RSI used in the daily charts is currently just above 45 level and seems to have more than enough space to allow EUR/USD to break below 1.4235 level and test 1.4150 level.

IN A speech last month at Fort Stewart, President Bush told soldiers of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division they were "overdeployed" and "underpaid."
"While you're serving America well," Mr. Bush said, "America is not serving you well."
Those sentiments were confirmed Thursday when The New York Times reported in a front-page story that the Army has downgraded the 3rd Infantry's combat readiness rating -- the result of a lack of training and personnel caused by extended peacekeeping missions in the Balkans.
Nearly 4,000 of the division's soldiers have been unavailable for the training needed to keep the unit ready for battle because they have been in Bosnia since October.
Therefore, the 3rd has been downgraded to the second-lowest level of readiness, which means it would require weeks, perhaps months, of preparation before it could be deployed for wartime duty.
That's a blow considering Fort Stewart (then home to the 24th Infantry) was at the forefront of allied troop deployments in the Gulf War.
If Iraq again rolled tanks into Kuwait tomorrow, soldiers from the southeast
Georgia base would not be able to lead the charge against Saddam Hussein as it did in 1990.
"If we had to have all 10 divisions available, the 3rd would be one of them," a Pentagon official told the Times. "But they would not be one of the first responders. They are not at the leading edge as far as who is ready to fight."
This doesn't mean that the 3rd Infantry suddenly resembles the army of the Grand Duchy of Fenwick.
In some respects the move reflects Pentagon policy accounting, not the soldiers ability to fight.
Since the first Bush administration more than a decade ago, U.S. defense policy has held that the nation should be capable of simultaneously fighting two major wars in two different global regions, something it hasn't had to do since World War II (unless you count America's Cold War efforts to contain the Soviet Union occurring the same time as "hot" wars in Korea and Vietnam).
The 3rd presently cannot meet that high standard.
Some defense analysts believe the dual-war strategy is obsolete and should be modified; it certainly will be included as part of the Bush administration's ongoing top-to-bottom review of the military.
Should the Pentagon's orders change, the 3rd Infantry's combat readiness could be upgraded without a single transaction in personnel or equipment, simply because the demands on it won't be so great.
Until the rules change, however, the 3rd's shortcomings can't be dismissed.
It's a problem that stems from the Clinton administration's policy of sending the armed forces on numerous peacekeeping and other humanitarian missions abroad, stretching them too thin even when it knew they still were expected to fight two concurrent wars.
The news of the 3rd Infantry's struggles to keep so many balls in the air at once give legitimacy to Mr. Bush's campaign criticisms of his predecessor's defense policies.
But with Mr. Clinton out of office, it now becomes Mr. Bush's problem.
So far there seems to be little difference. The Pentagon currently is reducing American troops in Bosnia by 750 soldiers, a withdrawal that was scheduled under Mr. Clinton.
But nearly 3,000 3rd Division soldiers will remain there until their mission ends in October, and another 2,500 members of the 3rd will be deployed in Kosovo in May.
Mr. Bush must end the practice of asking so much of the military while giving too little in return.
Until Washington learns to strike a proper balance, the 3rd Infantry won't be the only unit that struggles to do the impossible.

London, June 6 (ANI): In his final days as the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown deprived David Cameron of hundreds of thousands of pounds - the Labour politician accepted a pay cut for his successor at 10 Downing Street.
On Brown's orders, the Prime Minister's remuneration package was cut from 194,000pounds to 150,000pounds, but this was done secretly without any formal announcement.
This means in a five-year parliament personal loss to Cameron will be more than 250,000pounds and this after skipping the pension benefits.
"This was pure Gordon," the Telegraph quoted a source as saying.
The insider added: "Quite prepared to make the big sacrifices - so long as it wasn't him who actually had to make them." (ANI)

I am looking to get the Galaxy Ace 2. I am trying to purchase an unlocked one since Vodafone here don't carry it. I looked at a few sites such as expansys etc and the cheapest I can find it is amazon.de
I never ordered from amazon.de before so just wondering would there be any problem with the phone working on an Irish SIM and it would it still have English language.
I have Google Translate on my browser so can't see the words "SIM free" "unlocked", anyone know for sure it is here or what it is in German?
Cheers for any help.
It is SIM free and completely unlocked with only a factory firmware.
There will be no issues using an Irish SIM card in it. It will be most likely be in English out of the box or the SIM will select English for you.
Bought a mobile from amazon.de last year. No problem whatsoever! You might have to switch the language in the menu but that's no big deal. Just remember that the charger comes with a continental two-pin plug.
Thanks, yeah I was just concerned because it never mentioned SIM free but I guess since it didn't mention a network either it must be SIM free. I guess a charger will be handy got anyway. Think I will chance it .
You can get an adaptor, or just put on a new plug if it is not moulded on. Many phones will charge via microusb connections, and a generic charger for these is cheap, you might already have one.
Has anyone ever had to a faulty item from amazon.de and had to return? how does the warranty work with it?
Yes, Amazon.de, like the UK site, were great to deal with.
Warranty is within EU on any products so will work over here as normal.

this is a great article about what taiwnese feel about american men and other foreigners
article starts here...
So I asked some of my Taiwanese friends about all things they hate about foreigners and here's what they told me:
10. Foreigners don't follow the traffic signals. If it's red, they go anyway. ( I'm thinking this has to do with jaywalking, as not too many foreigners drive. To be fair, the Taiwanese treat traffic laws as if they were funny suggestions anyway, so I'm not sure about this one.)
9. Foreigners act very friendly and buddy/buddy and then blow you off the next day. Even when you have really good conversations with them the next time you see them they sometimes act like they don't know you. Maybe its the alcohol involved. (Too true, there are a lot of people like that out there.)
8. Some foreigners are flaky. You can't trust them with your secrets or depend on them to be there for you. (I'm not sure if my friend was thinking of something specific that happened here. I wish I had asked for an example.)
7. (From a female Taiwanese friend) girls don't like it when a lot of foreign guys call them 'Honey', 'Sweetie,' or 'Baby'. I'm not your baby, and I don't even know you! (Yep, that happens. There are a lot of mixed feelings about foreign men here in Taiwan.)
6. Some Taiwanese are very proud of their English. They've studied it their whole lives so when they are talking to a foreigner they want to use it, and its insulting when the foreigner switches the conversation to Mandarin. (I totally understand. That happened to me in Poland too, where I'd start off the conversation in Polish, and they'd switch to English. It's insulting.)
5. Foreigners/Americans make very good money as teachers here. They have a good life. Easy to get a job, easy to find a date, and everybody helps them. It's not fair. (It's not fair. Even as I take advantage of the system here I can understand the resentment.)
4. (From a male Taiwanese friend) a lot of the Americans think they are better than people here. They think they are special and want to be worshipped, even when they (the guys) are not so popular back home. (Um yeah, but more on that in a separate post.)
3. Foreign men picking up Asian girls. Asian guys hate that. They refer to the types of girls that go after foreign men as "pumasâ€, which translates as old dirty, worn-out slipper. Or, basically, dirty worn out ho-bags. (Ouch!)
2. Foreigners are loud and call attention t themselves in places where it is inappropriate like the MRT, buses, museums, and other areas. (Yep, I'm looking at you Americans! This is a worldwide reputation for a reason.)
1. Foreigners throw lots of loud parties that turn into orgies (this perception is the reason some Taiwanese won't rent to foreigners), and they aren't trustworthy. (I mean…I guess. I haven't been to any orgy parties yet. Do you think I'm just not getting invited? Why wouldn't I get invited an orgy?? Doesn't seem fair…)
I'm sure there are many more things that Taiwanese people hate, but they weren't sharing that information with me.
What are your thoughts and experiences?
