I feel very privileged about how my career in science communication has developed. It has required a combination of keenness, determination, good mentors, and plain dumb luck.
I entered university as a jock interested in the physical world around me. Quickly I became attracted to earth science, not so much for rocks and minerals, but because of earth science's relevance to daily life and the environment. I was fortunate to land summer jobs and conduct B.Sc. thesis research with the Ontario Geological Survey. That is when I met my first real mentor, Peter Barnett, and became fascinated with glaciers and the impact they have had on the Canadian landscape. After my undergraduate degree I headed to the University of Victoria for a master's degree. This time I worked on a mapping project with another mentor, Vic Levson, who was with the British Columbia Geological Survey.
Before I knew it, I had spent 6 years of my life studying glacial geology and working as a field geologist. I had spent field seasons just north of Toronto and in the wilds of British Columbia. But the intent of this article is not to bore you with details about my life history. Instead I would like to focus on how my science background opened the doors to a rewarding career in science-based communication. Let me explain. ...
I have always enjoyed working with people. During graduate school I taught some labs and became active in a national organisation called EdGEO, which develops earth science workshops for teachers. These experiences opened my eyes to the importance of effectively transferring science knowledge to the public. I also became aware that communicating innovative federal government science, in engaging ways, to the Canadian public was not a common practice. It occurred to me that this state of affairs could be related to decreases in research funding: If the public cannot see the value of government research, then politicians will not fund it. I saw a real need for enhanced science communication and was eager to apply for a job!
However, finding a science communication position within the federal government is not easy. Now, don't get me wrong; there are many communication jobs in government. But few of these positions focus on communicating the world-class science that government does. So without any idea of where to look, I relied on the advice of a contact I'd met through EdGEO. As the science program officer in the office where I now work, she was aware of opportunities that most people weren't. She was able to connect me with the right people, and the rest is history. I scored a 3-month contract working in science communication with the Earth Science Sector of Natural Resources Canada. One 3-month contract turned into another, and then I received a 1-year position (which has just been extended).
The scientific research conducted at the institute where I work is diverse and exciting. The research activities are in fields such as earthquake seismology, marine geoscience, geophysics, crustal deformation (geodynamics), and gas hydrates. I began by updating fact sheets (most of which are still in progress!) but soon became involved in two more ambitious initiatives, which I will describe below.
Science in the Centres
Soon after I started working for Natural Resources Canada, we received funding for a new project called Science in the Centres. Because most of the other project participants had other responsibilities, I was in the right place at the right time and became one of the project leaders. Science in the Centres began in 2001, and its main objective is to communicate to the public the world-class science that Natural Resources Canada does. It also strives to develop engaging and interactive science experiences that encourage youth to pursue careers in science. The program has been extremely well received to date and is poised for future successes.
I believe Science in the Centres has been successful because of three major factors: 1) project leaders (myself and my third mentor, a forester named Keith Brown) who are scientists with good communication skills, 2) a partnership with the Canadian Association of Science Centres, and 3) internal collaboration among different sectors within NRCan. This last point is an important one: Science in the Centres would have had limited success if it focused strictly on one facet of natural resource science (for example, forestry or earth science).
The partnership with the Canadian Association of Science Centres has also been invaluable. The association consists of over 30 member institutions whose yearly attendance is about 7 million people. This is greater than the attendance at all professional sporting events in Canada! By working with science centres, Natural Resources Canada is able to provide content that the science centres can transform into a wide variety of interactive experiences. These include an interactive computer interface called the Canada Rover, a borehole camera that can be used to see 30 metres underground, a hydrogen fuel cell school program, and a 45-90 square metre travelling climate change exhibit. The Canada Rover interface uses digital visualisation and computer interactives that allow the user to explore Canada and its science. The travelling climate change exhibit engages the public with multidisciplinary science and is available to communities throughout Canada. It will open in Sudbury, Ontario, in early June, and visits to places such as Ottawa and Nunavut are already planned.
The future of the Science in the Centres initiative looks very promising. A concept document for a new travelling science exhibit on Canada, called "The Great Canadian Science Adventure," has been produced. The exhibit will be 460 square metres, but it will be modular so that components can be pulled out and used in smaller facilities. It will likely consist of science not only from Natural Resources Canada but from other federal departments as well.
Transferring Science Knowledge to Municipalities
Another communications project where my science background is important involves researching how vulnerable Canadian municipalities are to climate change in order to determine appropriate adaptation and mitigation strategies. A limited number of case studies that address some of the climate change issues facing Canada (such as water resource depletion, coastal erosion, and permafrost) are under way. The hoped-for outcome is that municipalities will incorporate the scientific results into their planning processes.
Accomplishing this will require direct involvement of municipal planners and stakeholders in the individual case studies, as well as a communication program aimed at the Canadian Institute of Planners and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. My role is to help communicate science results to a variety of stakeholders and communities. At one level this involves newsletters, open houses, workshops, and so on. However, another aspect focuses on developing innovative technologies and strategies to help diverse parties use scientific information in municipal planning. There is definitely a lot to look forward to.
My transition from a field geologist to a science communicator has been a very enjoyable one. I feel very fortunate to be working, sometimes as one of the leaders, on innovative, science-based communication projects. Based on the positive feedback and support that projects such as Science in the Centres have generated, there seems to be a real need for more such programs. Nonetheless, permanent jobs in this field are not plentiful (I am on my second 1-year contract) and are sometimes viewed as a drain on potential research resources. With that said, I would never discourage someone from pursuing such work. Sometimes the best opportunities occur in places you least expect.

Ballade No. 1
The task was to choose a piece of classical music, this case Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G Minor. From there we had to listen to the music and create an album cover for it. We see three people standing alone between the leafless trees on an Easter morning none of us would like. On top of that I have placed the very ornate representation of the titles of the piece. I feel like having a decorative design on top of Easter Morning allows for a nice juxtaposition in the imagery, from sullen to elegant. Just as in the music where we start in a sullen slow tempo minor key but then we hear the tempo and scale runs speed up later on in the song.
Thanks For Viewing!
Thank You!

In spite of the prevailing press' earnest attempts to spoil President Donald Trump's administration, a huge rate of individuals who voted in favor of him are as yet content with their decision.
As indicated by a "Disposition of the Nation" survey directed by Penn State's McCourtney Institute of Democracy, just 3 percent of Trump voters lamented their choice. The survey solicited a specimen from 1,000 voters to provide details regarding their vote.
Of the 339 members who voted in favor of Trump, just 12, which is a little more than 3 percent, said they would have voted in an unexpected way. Three of those said that on the off chance that they could change their vote, they would vote in favor of Clinton. Seven said they would vote in favor of another applicant.
Not bad.
Portraying their outcomes in The Washington Post, Michael Berkman, chief of the establishment, and Eric Plutzer, executive of the survey, composed that the media consideration regarding the supposed "Trump laments" development is "extremely deceptive."
That is nothing unexpected. The media has done all that it could do to delegitimize Trump's administration, however the uplifting news is that nobody is succumbing to it.
"For Trump's supporters, any news reports that his first weeks as president have been rough, unpresidential or more regrettable have scarcely mattered. There is for all intents and purposes no lament," Berkman and Pulitzer composed. "While his administration has stirred resistance gatherings and his general endorsement level stays low by recorded benchmarks, his appointive base is in place as well as excited and empowered, furnishing Trump with a critical base of force.
"The individuals who neglect to perceive this may end up thinking little of his abilities in administration similarly that many disparaged his application," they included.
That is an oversight the Democrats — and their partners in the prevailing press — are as yet making.
At the point when Trump voters were solicited what kind from message they would provide for the president on the off chance that they could, the messages were along the lines of "remain solid," "hold tight," and "keep it up."
While this news may toss liberals into yet another influx of foreswearing, the truth of the matter is that Trump supporters are content with the president since he is really doing what he said he would do. Nobody expected that things in Washington would be simple, however so far Trump has demonstrated that he is doing what he can to satisfy his battle guarantees.
Share this story on Facebook and Twitter in case you're not astounded to discover that so far there is little lament among Trump voters.
What do you think about this survey? Look down to remark underneath!

My parents flipped out when they heard I'm having a homebirth in September. They refused to listen to a single word of information either me or my husband gave them about homebirthing or how hospital birth is so medicalized the woman is treated like a ticking time bomb. But, sadly, that's just how they are. They're both the type that if the facts don't match what they have already decided--even if they are completely clueless and uninformed--then the facts must be wrong.
On the other hand, everyone else we've mentioned homebirth to has been either very supportive, or at least curious why we came to that decision.
And all I know is I got approximately 12 weeks to go and I can't wait! I wanna see our baby!

Best-Practices Leadership
A leader in an organization can't do everyone's job. Instead of micromanaging, strong leaders use organizational leadership to coordinate, communicate, motivate and delegate among employees and team members. For comprehensive organizational effectiveness, each individual needs to be seen as a contributor, with the leader at the helm.
Most importantly, best-practices leadership involves keeping employees motivated throughout the process, adapting your scope or strategy as necessary, and developing an effective communication strategy.
Some people never make it to the other side because they're more successful at being doers. This is a crucial point in determining if you're going to move up the ranks.
Browse our articles, tools and advice on best-practices leadership.

CPAC: The Conservative Movement's Confusing ConferenceMonday, February 13th, 2012
CPAC 2012 seemed surreal. The event was anchored by two staunch conservatives.
Thursday, Governor Rick Perry gave a rousing speech with multiple standing ovations. Saturday, Governor Sarah Palin gave a barn burner of a speech, firing up the crowd. She deftly dealt with protesters. She painted a soaring vision.
Sandwiched in between these speeches: Moderately interesting political speeches from Santorum, then Mitt, then Newt.
Internet connectivity was spotty to an enraging degree. I couldn't write, upload, and sometimes even tweet. Any coverage I did give, came via my phone and 3G.
Aside: This is the fourth time I've been to CPAC and this is the fourth time the internet has been a problem. If they want their event to be reported effectively, you'd think the organizers would make the investment into some serious bandwidth.
A couple people asked me how I felt CPAC compared to years past. Well, in 2008, Mitt Romney got out of the race at CPAC and there were multitudes of weeping Romneybots there. Mitt Romney still won the straw poll that year.
Romney edged out Santorum for the CPAC Straw Poll this year. In years past, paid Romneybots or Ronulans stuffed the vote. It was a competition to see who could win. The Straw Poll has never mattered, but the press loves to blab about it anyway. That Santorum came so close to winning this year is somewhat significant. He must have some organic following amongst the faithful to even compete with Romney's Straw poll ballot-stuffing machine.
Generally, the energy just didn't seem to be there for CPAC this year–not like I think it should be during an election year. Does it concern me for November? Yes, it does. This should be a shoe-in year for Republicans. I'm afraid it's going to be close because our candidates can't articulate a clear, inspiring vision. We'll see.
Some fun moments included the Paul Begala – Tucker Carlson slap fight, Andrew Breitbart's rousing speech and the promo for the Hating Breitbart movie, and Steve Crowder and Chris Loesch's parody rap (watch for the N-word–lefties fell right into the trap).
Mostly, CPAC is about networking. On that account, it was a spectacular success.
Some years back, Hillary Clinton groused about a "vast right-wing conspiracy". That statement was laughable when she said it. Now, there's a right-wing network. No, it's not the top-down MMFA-Obama machine fueled by Journolist like on the left. The more a patchwork of people who tolerate each other and work together when forced to achieve a useful end. Ever try to rangle a hoard of one-man-bands? Well. The bands are starting to become aware of one another, work together, and help promote each other's work. It's heartening.
A couple events help with that. For the third year, Ali Akbar, Aaron Marks and I decided to torture ourselves by throwing a party for bloggers. Microsoft on the dreaded K-street hosted and the party was an alcohol-soaked success. As John Brodigan says, the proponents of limited government are not for limited alcohol. See also karaoke.
At the Blogbash awards were given by and for bloggers. They weren't the only ones. The TeaParty.net presented some awards, too.
Winners included Michelle Malkin (legacy award), Andrew Breitbart (changing the narrative — Weiner Press Conference), Ezra Dulis (video–Attack Watch), Jimmie Bise (podcast–The Delivery), RB Pundit (Twitter–@RBPundit), Peter List (Activism — unions), Lisa DePasquale (friend of bloggers), Jason Hart (state level blogger of the year — Ohio politics), True The Vote & Catherine Englebrecht (bloggers stand with), James O'Keefe & Project Veritas (Sunlight–New Hampshire voter registration fraud) and John Sexton who won both investigative post AND Blogger of the year for work at Verum Serum with Morgen Richmond.
One heartening part of CPAC: Hollywood types are starting to come out of the closet. Kirk (Growing Pains) Cameron spoke for the first time. Allen Covert and Dan Kessler launched their patriotic iPhone/iPad app CherryTree for children. I saw Chuck Wollery on Radio Row.
CPAC seemed better and more discouraging than in past years. Better because it was wonderful to make more new friends and renew old acquaintances. Worse because I believe that the country is moving leftward both morally and fiscally to our eventual demise. Conservative actions are spreading locally and at the state level. Nationally, conservatism is voiceless and leaderless and that's too bad.

James Paxton is the latest arm in the Seattle Mariners' rotation to find his way to the disabled list.
Paxton was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with a strained muscle on the left side of his back. The move was made after an MRI earlier in the day confirmed the original diagnosis of a strained latissimus dorsi muscle.
Paxton joins fellow starters Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker as spectators for the surprising early leaders of the American West.
"It's tough. I was feeling good out there and not the ideal situation," Paxton, who hails from Richmond, B.C., said. "But [I'm] just going to deal with it and get ready to go."
Paxton left Tuesday night's win over the Los Angeles Angels in the sixth inning after feeling a twinge in the muscle. Paxton got the win, retiring 14 straight during one stretch to improve to 2-0.
Paxton originally felt something was off an inning before, but returned for the sixth. After giving up a single to Kole Calhoun, Paxton threw a first-pitch fastball to Mike Trout. The expression on his face caught the attention of manager Lloyd McClendon and he immediately went to the mound with a trainer.
"I think they saw it on my face and they were out of that dugout pretty fast," Paxton said.
Paxton's early outings were a bright spot for a Mariners rotation filled with questions because of injuries to Iwakuma (finger) and Walker (shoulder) that put them behind in spring training. Paxton threw seven shutout innings in his first start of the season and aside from giving up two early home runs on Tuesday, made another strong start.
In six career starts with the Mariners, Paxton is 5-0 with a 1.75 earned-run average. He said the plan for now is to get re-evaluated when the 15 days is up.
"I wasn't sore this morning. I wasn't hurting. My strength was really good. I was feeling pretty good about [the MRI]," Paxton said. "But we just want to be careful with it right now."
Seattle recalled left-hander Lucas Luetge from triple-A Tacoma to take Paxton's roster spot. McClendon said right-hander Chris Young will take Paxton's scheduled turn in the rotation Sunday against Oakland, but the Mariners will likely need another starter early next week during a seven-game road trip to Texas and Miami with the likely candidate being Blake Beavan, who is currently at Tacoma.

The purpose of this manuscript is to discuss fluorogenic real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) inhibition and to introduce/define a novel Microsoft Excel-based file system which provides a way to detect and avoid inhibition, and enables investigators to consistently design dynamically-sound, truly LOG-linear qPCR reactions very quickly. The qPCR problems this invention solves are universal to all qPCR reactions, and it performs all necessary qPCR set-up calculations in about 52 seconds (using a pentium 4 processor) for up to seven qPCR targets and seventytwo samples at a time - calculations that commonly take capable investigators days to finish. We have named this custom Excel-based file system "FocusField2-6GallupqPCRSet-upTool-001" (FF2-6-001 qPCR set-up tool), and are in the process of transforming it into professional qPCR set-up software to be made available in 2007. The current prototype is already fully functional.

--- Originally published on the Adaptive Path Blog ---
I returned home from the IA Summit 2007 last night, and a burr has been rubbing my hide ever since. Since the Summit happened in Las Vegas this year, there was a lot of talk about the UX of Las Vegas, and how bad it was. Or rather, that Las Vegas didn't really have a UX because it was bad. Because if you planned a UX it had to be a good one.
Folks, everything that we come into contact with we have an experience with. That experience may be positive, or negative or neutral. It may be planned or accidental. It may be created out of an effort to make the world a better place. Or it may result from manipulative and selfish motivations. Either way, we (the users) are having an experience with said item, be it a website, a hotel, a towel or a piece of gum. Not to mention the fact that these are subjective determinations unique to each individual.
What I don't understand is when the term "UX" took on the implicit connotation that to have a UX, whatever it is must derive from a place of wanting to improve the world. When did UX mean to make things better and good, to be altruistic and benevolent? Now, don't get me wrong. Those are very noble goals, and they are certainly motivators for the work I do. But, come on.
"User experience" is a neutral term, in and of itself. It's something that just exists, that just happens. Labeling it as a good UX or a poor UX or a manipulative UX is needed to clarify what type of experience we are talking about. For as much as IAs love their labels, this is a strange instance for us to forget them.

Poltrona Frau Houston
You'll love the entire Poltrona Frau collection of fine furniture from Houston's Internum. Included in their sensational furniture collection are overstuffed sofas, office and conference furniture, dining tables for every occasion, complementary furniture, beds and much more.
Poltrona Frau's 1919 takes its cue from model 128, which made its debut in Renzo Frau's 1919 catalogue. The 128 reproduced the opulent features of rococo armchairs, with the addition of a special extension to serve as footrest and a small book stand supported by an arm anchored to the side. The present-day version of this armchair, reproducing the big "ears" of the seatback and the large rounded arms with plissé finish, is even more stylish, and the book stand has been replaced with a brass tray.
The Almo is an Italian/Spanish seating system unlike any you have seen before. It can be entirely upholstered in Pelle Frau leather. Almo is short for almohada, a traditional, comfortable Iberian pillow whose long, narrow, low shape makes it perfect also as a handy lumbar cushion or arm rest. Almo multiplies the visual effect of the cushion in depth, generating a harmonious series of horizontal lines. You really have to see this piece to appreciate its value in the home!
Roberto Lazzeroni designed the Diva chair as a matrix in aesthetic elements profoundly linked to the history of Poltrona Frau, which are immediately recognized the world over. The curled top to the backrest of the Diva is a stylized reference to the classics objects. This Poltrona Frau will brighten up any Houston living space and invite guests to sit, relax, and take comfort.
The Fidelio by Poltrona Frau is a low cabinet for Houston living rooms. It's deliberate lean design, precious materials and high function characterize its aesthetic graphics. The intense contrast between light and dark surfaces, the warm hues of Cuoio Saddle extra leather, and wood covering the outside give it a sophisticated finish for this across-the-board collection. It is an easy match for all Poltrona Frau items.
This Poltrona Frau bed will adorn any Houston bedroom; the Flair is decorative and theatrical, with sharp embellishments designed to meet any modern to traditional decor. Welcoming yet confidential, Flair stands out for its sinuous forms marked by careful, innovative capitonée working giving the surfaces greater depth and character. Its cylindric feel are painted in a black finish. This bed comes with a storage unit for your bedding.
Poltrona Frau's Chancellor seat will charm you with a comfortable embrace. This is a collection of sober, geometrical chairs with a strong scenic presence in the workplace. The arms that continue on from the seat provide a new expression and are designed to improve comfort levels and enhance relaxation time. The President and Executive versions are height-adjustable, rotate and are fitted with a sophisticated 'Syncron' turning mechanism for the seat and backrest, that gives the seat 5 different positions, ranging from an erect sitting position and transforming it gradually into a chaise-longue.

2 Items Found
- Dom Cauvard Cotes De Beaune Blanc 2014 Product #30437 (In Stock)
A terrific value in single-vineyard Chardonnay from the hills of the Cote de Beaune. Both aromas and flavors are satisfyingly rich and creamy, with generous dollops of ripe pear, juicy apple, and accents of fresh butter and chalk. There's nice Burgundy complexity here, but it doesn't distract from the pure fun and deliciousness. Drink now and over the next 2-3 years.
- Dom Cauvard Pommard Les Noizons 2012 Product #32009 (In Stock)
The warm 2012 vintage allowed normally firm Pommard to develop a bit more richness and suppleness than usual - which is what you'll find here. This is gorgeous, with dark cherry fruit and sweet spice flowing over dusty (but sweetly ripe) Pommard tannins. You'll love how open and luscious this is today but it will just get better over the next 5-8 years. A fine value in classy, classic, red Burgundy.


text: Just returned from my 650 km odyssey. It was a beautiful drive through the lakes at 0500hrs mind you https://maps.google.se/maps?q=sIGTU...gl=se&ei=9873UZGDHcqK4AT3z4GIBA&ved=0CLkBELYD....feeling knackered now. Well, got the MTM remap done, and all I can say is that the return trip was a helluva lot more fun than the outward journey. Am no mechanic but Dahlbäck explained to me that Bus is now pushing 1 bar as opposed to 0.6 on boost previously with approx 350 odd nm's of torque. The car seems a lot more punchier lower down, which is what I wanted and most definitely faster and easier to overtake, get onto motorways etc. Pretty much what I wanted. There's no stage 2....it's straight to a bigger exhaust with wider down pipe eg: A Miltek cat back exhaust with Dahlbäck's own down pipe and an additional remap if I want some extra horses....but for now let's just see how this goes with reliability / day to day use etc. They also mentioned my engine was in pretty good nick and showed no warnings and knock was less than 1% which apparently is suppose to be good! Was recommended that a HPFP upgrade was not necessary unless am pushing much higher bhp ....which am not intending to do....yet! Didn't get the cam follower done either cause all the mechanics were on their hols...Hopefully, I will get this done later this week when am getting an oil and filter change done. Overall, pretty pleased....still amazed they can charge so much for a ****** computer programme install....surprised they didn't have black and white stripey t-shirts on and a face mask! hahahaha...only jokin...I know the craic! Cheers Allan

10 Stars Who Made Memorably Spectacular Comebacks
Don't call it a comeback. Wait, on second thought, definitely call it a comeback.
Don't call it a comeback. Wait, on second thought, definitely call it a comeback.
The three acts appeared on 'Today' to announce tickets to shows go on sale soon.
'Think twice before you decide to do a show called 'Hey Paula'' the former 'American Idol' judge lamented.
Between Tamyra Gray's shocking elimination and Kelly Clarkson's come-from-behind win, the show's first string of episodes played out like a reality TV fairy tale.
Paula Abdul, who we've not heard from in quite a while, has launched a lawsuit against a Los Angeles tanning salon after she was burned while receiving one of its services. Yikes.
Paula Abdul has signed on as the fourth and final judge of 'The X Factor,' the Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Sources say that negotiations went down to the wire, due in part to her deal with CBS to appear on the dance-competition series 'Live to Dance.'
It's the reunion we've all been hoping for.
In an exclusive interview with Deadline's Nikki Finke, former 'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell revealed he wants Paula Abdul to join the judges' table on his upcoming reality series 'The X Factor.'
"I've always wanted Paula. Always been very vocal about that. I missed her the second she left the show," he said. "Always loved working with her even though she can be a pain. And I've been consistent about this. I don't know what it is about her, but I've always clicked with her."

One of the many things that you need to keep in mind when it comes to lawyers is that you should find one that is suitable for your case and take all the time that you need. Bear in mind as well that not all of the lawyers are practicing family law. In addition to that, not all of the lawyers as well are able to represent all kinds of family law cases.
For sure you are going to be stressed out by the situation if you are in need of a lawyer to help you with your family law situation. You just have to keep in mind that your judgment should not be clouded by your emotions. Make sure that you will be able to consider your options as carefully as possible and you should be able to research on the local law firms.

Make sure that the family law attorney that you will choose is one wherein it will be easy for you to be able to travel from your office or home.
One of the many great things about the family law attorney is that they for sure have a web site that the potential clients may pay a visit to. The web site should be able to have the information that you need such as: office hours, credentials of the lawyer, office location and experience as a family law attorney. There is also a chance that you will be able to read on articles that will help you with what you are currently going through.
It is also highly recommended that you will read your local newspapers and search for a family law attorney that might help you with what you are going through. You should choose a Remington and Dixon PLLC Charlotte NC family law attorney that has more positive printed stories rather than negative stories. As a matter of fact, there is also a good chance that this will help you to be able to determine the success rate of the family law attorney.
The internet is as a matter of fact also a great place for you to be able to find a good family law attorney.
In times when you need the services of a lawyer you need to take your time and make sure to examine the type of case that you are currently having so that you can hire the appropriate type of attorney to hire. When it comes to family law, not all lawyers are well versed when it comes to this type of cases, in a family law attorney will not all the time represent all types of family law cases that the client presents to them.
Looking for a lawyer that will be able to handle family law cases will be a very emotionally stressful task to do especially in your current situation, therefore for you to be able to find a reputable family law attorney it is advised that you are going to contact competent and reliable law firms such as Remington and Dixon PLLC to provide to you a reputable family law attorney.

This could be a potentially important information that you could gather in your search for a reputed family law attorney to hire.
2. Search the local Yellow Pages for it.
Local Yellow Pages have listings of reputable Remington and Dixon PLLC lawyers within your area. The listings will include descriptions of the particular law that the listed attorneys are practicing. The other types of information that can be found in these types of generic advertisements are the physical addresses of the offices of each of these family law attorneys including website addresses if they have an online firm extension. An attorney that can be easily reached at a close distance from your home or your office will be the advisable one to hire.
3. Go online on their respective websites.
Most of the divorce attorneys have respected online sites for their clients to easily reach them. The websites of the attorney should contain information pertaining to the location of their offices and their background in practicing family law including their credentials.
There are cases involving your family which you have to hire a professional family law attorney to oversee there are some legalities which are involved that you may not known about. You need to hire a lawyer who is an expert in this field of the law because this is not something that other litigators would be able to handle.
This basically deals with matters relating to the family and you have to prepare yourself to handle all the emotion it would likely involve. You should not allow your judgment to be clouded by these kinds of things as well. Since you are not objective on matters like these, you need to hire someone who is. Who better than a Remington and Dixon PLLC Charlotte NC lawyer to take care of a situation and make sure that everything goes back to normal?
1. You can ask your friends and other family members for make referrals
There is no doubt that you will have friend or two who can recommend a good family lawyer who would do the job of upholding your family rights without any trouble at all. These people are among the ones that you trust with your whole heart and there is no reason why they would give you less than ideal suggestions concerning this important and lawful venture of yours. These professionals recommended by these people are ones which they would hire themselves if they haven't already so you can trust that they would be good.
2. You can check directories online and in phone books
You never know if there are excellent professionals in your local phone book so make sure to get their contact numbers and give them a try. You would be able to see what kind of law they practice and therefore be able to narrow down your list of choices immediately.

Microsoft announces earnings on Thursday.

An app that you plug in a forum URL, it updates itself with the Topic, the contents, and the replies ... makes it easy to read and stores it all offline just like NewsRob. Attached images would be a bonus *fades away into dream phase ....* I open the app, im greeted with a list of topics i can scroll through. I select a topic and it shows the contents of the OP Below the OP, it shows the replies as well. Options at the very bottom might give me options to reply to topic, or remove from aggregation Im sure i can set something up with a reader, or have google reader auto-scrape the page or something. But a dedicated app specifically for forums would be pretty effing sweet lol

"I am hearing poetry when awake, dreaming poetry when asleep, breathing poetry with each breath, I am living in a poem."
They are all good but I really like the wisdom in the first one.
Enjoyed them all but the second was best.
To these, I can only say a loud "Amen!"
I enjoyed each of these, Susie. I am hoping my spring is lurking somewhere beneath our snow. May it melt soon. My favorite is the second. I agree with it. Live today!!
I adore the middle stanza, I wish I could
Bravo, Susie! Each Haiku is a gem of Growth for me, of how to live, to survive to smile and laugh--and I love the introductory Thoreau quote as well!
Each is a little bite of wisdom. I loved them all, but the second really spoke to me.
What beautiful words Susie...loved it....
I loved all three nuggets of profundity and wisdom, but the second one really spoke to me :)
"I will bloom in frost" is a killer line.
Love these, Susie, my favourite is the second,,,,:-)
I love this:
"little pieces of spring
lie seeded in my winter"
a triple haiku, was it? lovely. my fav is the last one though- love the way you've described the nose ring
little pieces of spring
lie seeded in my winter
i will bloom in frost
Funny enough! Remnants of one's efforts lingers on in trying circumstances. But they could still bring goodness in harsh conditions. Great observation Susie!
An escellent trio. I enjoyed this a lot.
Lovely set of haikus. Hard to pick a favorite but perhaps the first one? Lots of wisdom in all of them.
So lovely. I truly think the first is my favorite for its hope of spring.
Ooh, lovely, Susie. I pictured snowdrops as I read the first one.
I love them all!
I read all three as part of one poem, which I liked. Then, in reading the comments, I realized that it was a grouping of three. So I reread them individually, and I liked them alone as well.
You aren't as old as your poet writer, Susie.
I like the third verse the best, the cluttering counting (of) all the yesterdays. Partly because litterally I tend to clutter and also because I can barely remember yesterdays anymore.
I may be older than your poet soulmate.
Sorry I'm so late in coming here from the Monday Toads. I posted late also.
I've blossomed through the frost of many winters.

The Editorial Role: An Agent's View by Jean Naggar
Jean Naggar, president of JVNLA, Inc., wrote a wonderful blog post for the Huffington Post that's currently up on their website. Check it out!!
"We literary agents are now essentially functioning as editors, stepping into the vacuum and metaphorically taking up the stubby red pencil we had stored as a memento of a bygone age. It is now our responsibility to our writers to polish the gem before it is even seen by editorial eyes. And since most publishers today will not consider unagented manuscripts, over our transoms they come tumbling for us to filter and refine."
I realize with gratitude that for every editor who espouses the fast and furious view there are still some willing to fall in love and to commit. I know who they are. Their names are lovingly breathed within the walls of our agency, Their opinions are shared and treasured. We know the editor who knows how to edit without dictating or ruffling the feathers of a sensitive novelist, who grasps the unspoken intent of the author and enables it, who believes in a work before that belief has been endorsed by everyone else, and who is willing to fight for it in a job climate where a lay-off may be a breath away."

Closing the technology gap
In March 2015, Vusumzi Primary School's dream of having a computer laboratory was realized when 30 HP Touchscreen laptops arrived in the newly refurbished technology center. - but let's go back in time.
None of this could have happened without the generosity of American donors. Early contributions led to the transformation of the technology center's infrastructure: security, paint, floor tiles, electricity, and a network. We needed only the computers, and at our annual fundraiser at Thames Street Kitchen, donors purchased all of them in a span of two minutes. It was the most amazing, spontaneous outpouring of philanthropy we had ever witnessed. As one attendee noted, "This is the best Christmas present I have ever bought."
Along with the installation of this groundbreaking lab -- the first of its kind in the Sundays River Valley -- came the provision of CAMI software, an academic program that has markedly accelerated learners' reading and math skills. The lab offers students and the wider community the opportunity to research, learn from, and connect with the world beyond Addo.

Breakout Waikiki now offers discount validation ($6/2 hours)
at the Kings Village Parking Lot (entrance located on Koa Avenue)!
Important things to note:
-The garage clearance is 5'10"
-Breakout can only validate for 2 hours
-Extra parking can be purchased from the garage
(at the rate of $5 for every half-hour or $15 for 10 hours)
-Breakout customers will not be allowed to park in the garage after 10pm
-Kings Village Garage closes at midnight, please be aware of the time!
Parking in Waikiki can be tricky...
Plan on giving yourself some extra time and also consider traffic and the time of day which can make parking even harder. To be safe, we suggest allotting around 15 minutes to find a parking spot that works for you. Worst case scenario, you arrive early for your room in which case we are happy to recommend some local food and drink spots for you to spend some time at!
Games will begin exactly at your start time!
Think of it like a train leaving the station. Once it's gone, it's very difficult if not impossible to board. The same goes for our rooms and, while we will do our best to work with you in extenuating circumstances, we cannot promise that we'll be able to accommodate your party if you arrive late. We suggest arriving 15 minutes before your start, allowing plenty of time to use the restroom and get signed in!
If you are looking us up on GPS, the address is a little confusing. Feel free to use these accurate coordinates 21.276974, -157.824712.
If you have any suggestions of other places to park, feel free to email us! We're happy to add to the list!

DSL shaping
This is me today:

Clearly I have blown my 10GB cap about 3 days early.
Its better than dialup, its usable (if not a little slow) for web browsing. I can even download a file or three if i like, but I can probably forget about another Linux .iso, or can I?
I quick trip to http://www.numion.com/Calculators/Time.html and punching in a figure of 50% overhead, tells me I could download 700MB in 36 hours.
Thats two more CDs of data I can download before I am metered again...
Better than overuse charges.
With this aspect of Telecoms dsl/broadband offering, I am happy.... what about you?
If you dont know much about computers or teh interweb thingi, then perhaps you might not even realise when this happens to you?

I can't understand why Telecom don't offer customers the choice of traffic shaping or extra data bundles where you can buy say an extra traffic allowance (TCL do this with their cable modems). There are many people who don't care if their internet slows down but Telecom are also missing out on the extra revenue from customers when they do go over their caps and would like to continue on at full speed. Or maybe with the slow ADSL speeds now they figure people just won't notice when they have reached their data cap! :-)
Comment by cokemaster, on 3-May-2006 11:56
While I don't really mind being limited down after exceeding my usage, in the past... in my experience when capped to '64kbps' its actually worked out to a lot lower. At the time, Xtra had blamed on Line conditions which I called bs on as we had been able to get near 7mbps on Jetstream games when it was still alive and the full 256kbps on regular ADSL. However going back to the topic at hand, I feel that 64kbps is far too low for a 'capped' speed in comparsion to what our plans are today. I feel that they should raise it but keep it inline with the 256:64 ratio. However on Orcon, we don't get the choice of being capped - we keep on going at full speed... at the tune of $5 per 10gb I think.
Comment by juha, on 3-May-2006 12:58
Last billing cycle, I hit 9.5GB in the eight days the modem was turned on. There was data counted even though the modem was turned off. If you want to have the option of paying more, errm, I mean not being rate-shaped, use one of the 512kbps upstream plans. Hit your cap, and it's 2c/MB. Cheap'n'good.

Woosh do allow this option, while expensive at leat it's available.

Lhean Into WHY?
Fresh off a collaboration with Serengeti (and my favorite album of last year), Yoni Wolf and the other guys in WHY? are at it again. Their latest release, Moh Lhean, shows a more muted sensibility that still brings the heft and gravitas of Mumps etc. and Alopecia. Moh Lhean moves away from the avant stream of consciousness style that dominated their previous releases for more orchestrated and sung lyrics. The switch allows WHY? to explore topics outside their typical oeuvre with the same critical eye.
The album begins with the one-two punch of "This Ole King" and "Proactive Evolution." The two tracks balance their differing aesthetics (and the competing tones that ebb and flow throughout Moh Lhean). "This Ole King" is a sweet love-ish song that begins softly and slowly increases its tension while "Proactive Evolution" harkens back to feelings and herky-jerky vocal movements of Mumps etc. But rather than rehash familiar territory, "Proactive Evolution" matches its lyrical density with a narrative control that surpasses anything on WHY?'s previous releases.
It seems Yoni's time spent making Testarossa with Serengeti helped the musician find new and interesting avenues to explore sonically (other than stalking and writing songs about his fans ala the Golden Ticket EP). Despite these new textures, WHY's ability to create weird situations undercut by strange instrumental tracks is the strongest it has been. Rather than a collection of songs, Moh Lhean unfurls as a web of interconnected vignettes.
In the middle of this tangle is "One Mississippi." The track highlights Yoni's ability to skate down jittering rhythms without losing the beat while simultaneous shifting focus from small to large and back again. "One Mississippi" allows Yoni to flex his writing muscles–showcasing why the MC is able to hold out attention whether he's waxing poetic about silhouettes or failed relationships.
While Moh Lhean doesn't have the snarling grit of Mumps etc. or the loveable roughness of Eskimo Snow, the album more than makes up for it with technique. Throughout Moh Lhean, the instrumentals are larger, more present than any other album and the lyrics are more precise and more controlled. In this, their latest release, WHY? shows that they have matured over the past half-decade. It also shows that WHY? refuses to become complacent in a single sound.
The album ends with "The Barely Blur." Melancholic and slow, "The Barely Blur" (and "The Consequence of Nonaction") offer a nice volta to end the album. While not the most tension-filled example of WHY?'s work, "The Barely Blur" is a stunning ending to this new chapter of the band's music. Lush and gripping, the concluding track begs its listeners to flip the album over and start Moh Lhean from the top.

Westville NYC is a restaurant in New York City that thrives off of using the freshest ingredients! This is one of our favorite places to eat because there is nothing on the menu that leaves us unhappy. With an extensive fresh menu for vegetarians and meat-eaters, you are bound to find an entree for everyone.
Since 2003, Westville NYC has opened five different locations and they are currently working on the sixth. With each location in a different area of New York, each location does cater to different crowds.
Like we said before, everything is satisfactory on Westville's menu! Some of our favorites include the grilled salmon salad ($16) and the char-grilled ny strip steak ($24). They are both so flavorful and filling! We also tried the Chardonnay while we were there which added a nice treat. Some of our other menu favorites include watercress, arugula salad with chicken ($13), cast iron turkey burger w/fries ($13), and the variety of market sides ($6 for one $15 for four).
