Response from Involvement Facilitator, NHS Leeds 7 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience on Ward 65 at St James's Hospital on the NHS Choices website.
I was pleased to learn you found the nursing staff friendly and the ward clean. However, I was sorry to learn that you felt the care given by the doctors was not delivered to the same degree; namely not respecting your privacy and providing conflicting advice regarding treatment.
We shall pass your comments on to the Patient Relations Manager at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Thank you once again.

Dodd on Arrival: Another Democrat Bites His Own Dust
Filed Under Politics | 2 Comments
Another Democrat is DOA (Dodd on Arrival) due to mortgage scandal, the health care disaster, and other self-inflicted wounds:
Embattled Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd (D) has scheduled a press conference at his home in Connecticut Wednesday at which he is expected to announce he will not seek re-election, according to sources familiar with his plans.
Dodd's retirement comes after months of speculation about his political future, and amid faltering polling numbers and a growing sense among the Democratic establishment that he could not win a sixth term. It also comes less than 24 hours after Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) announced he would not seek re-election.
Democrats in Congress have committed political suicide with a slew of failures, crooked dealings and massively unpopular government takeovers — and the prudent liberal doesn't want to have to admit it during a concession speech on election night in November.
The good news is that the more this happens before a final health care boondoggle is passed, the more likely it becomes that a crucial one or two Democrats decide their career is more important than a huge power and money grab from those on DNC high. These are people more than willing to sacrifice Democrat control of Congress in return for getting their fat fingers even deeper into what was formally the private sector. Democrat leadership knows they can always regain the former, but we'll never be able to get back the latter.
So the bad news is that most Dems seem more than willing to drink the Kool Aid regardless of the political consequences.
In a final act of appropriate symbolism, Democrats should move the US Capitol to Jonestown for the final health care vote.

I thought CT. was a stronghold for all things Dem, Liberal and Giant Govt. Perhaps they just want a younger version of a lying,thieving dirtbag that belongs in jail.
Too bad this is not Iwo Jima rather than Jonestown.

Repubs need to remember though that these are just Dems "retiring" — but it doesn't mean a victory for the GOP in those districts yet. If the Republicans start assuming there's going to be a landslide in their direction, they're in trouble.

Pornsite: InTheVIP
Date: 2007-07-03
We started the night off just right with a nice long shot of red panties leading the way to the VIP spot. We had a nice lil spot looking down at all the others that could not hang in the VIP. That is ok because they can see here what they missed. It was a night full of panties and with a shot of pussy. Josh had his hands full of ass and tities. He didnt have much time to even get a drink. By the time we left the club I dont think he really cared because he had two of the hottest chicks going back to our pad. These ladies were so hot I was sweeting bullets just standing next to them. I had to turn the AC down when they took off their dreses. Their slamming bodies that could get any piece of wood straight and hard. I know Josh did and they loved it while they teased and licked each other. They fucked from one end of the room to the other and ended with a big splash of goodness on them in the middle.

Exfoliating your skin once in a week is a very important step that you must not miss. It helps to make the skin soft and, at the same time, it helps to improve the complexion too.
Exfoliation is also necessary, as it removes the dead skin, therefore adding a fine radiance on your body when done.
Exfoliating the body twice in a month is sufficient and not more than that is required, as doing it regularly will only tear the skin and cause more infections.
So, before you head to the parlour to get a facial or a body spa to get rid of that dead skin, take a look at this article, as it can help you figure out what exactly an exfoliation is and what it does to the skin.
Here are 7 things that you should know about exfoliation. It is important that you know how it affects the skin, especially if you have a sensitive skin.
On the other hand, it is necessary to use products on the skin that are gentle and friendly, so that there are no side effects like an infection or abrasion.
So, take a look at these seven secrets about exfoliation:
Your Skin Exfoliates Naturally:
Did you know that the skin renews itself after every 25 days? Yes, the skin exfoliates on its own, which means that you can go ahead with just that one spa treatment, and it will make a big difference on the skin.
There Is More Than One Type:
Beauty experts reveal that whether you choose a manual, chemical or electronic exfoliant, all will help to unveil younger, more radiant skin. However, it is always nice to go ahead with a natural exfoliater, as it provides a better result.
The Benefits Of Exfoliation:
Not only does exfoliation help in removing the dead skin, regular use of this treatment will aid in reducing the skin discolouration and pigmentation, providing you with a better look.
Choose The Ingredients Wisely:
There are a lot of ingredients that you can use while exfoliating the skin. From sugar to salt and even mud packs too. But, it is safer to use those ingredients that do not harm the skin.
When You Should Exfoliate:
It is best to exfoliate the skin in the morning to slough away the dead skin, since renewal of the skin takes place at night.
What Type Of A Skin Do You Have?:
Depending on the skin type, exfoliate accordingly. If you have an oily-based skin use an exfoliant that is rough and which will help remove the excess oil from the face. Be careful not to exfoliate too much onto an acne-prone face too, as it could spread the acne to the rest of the areas on the body.

Suicide bomber kills six in Swat valley
A suicide car bomber smashed into a police checkpoint in Pakistan's restive north-western Swat valley, blowing himself up and killing a policeman and five civilians, officials said.
The attack in Kabal district was in an area where the military has launched an operation against militants loyal to pro-Taliban cleric Maulana Fazlullah.
"It was a suicide attack. The bomber hit the checkpoint barricades with the car and then blew himself up," provincial government spokesman Amjad Iqbal told AFP.
"A policeman and five civilians were killed and two other policemen were also injured," he said.
On Saturday, officials said they had almost cleared the Swat valley of the rebels, killing 290 and arresting another 143 in recent weeks.
Separately, suspected militants fired rockets at an air force base in the north-west city of Peshawar early today (Australian time) and bombed a girls' school, but there were no casualties, police said.
Two rockets landed in a field at the base while a third exploded on a road near the area after midnight, senior police official Mohammad Tahir Khan said.
Part of the base is used for domestic and international passenger flights, with Peshawar the provincial capital of North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan.
Suspected militants also hit a girls' high school in Peshawar, causing some structural damage, another police official said.
Peshawar is located close to Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal zones where government forces are battling pro-Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked militants.

Blogs HNN Luther Spoehr, Review of Daniel A. Clark, "Creating the College Man: American Mass Magazines and Middle-Class Manhood, 1890-1915" (University of Wisconsin Press, 2010).Aug 22, 2010 5:29 pm
Luther Spoehr, Review of Daniel A. Clark, "Creating the College Man: American Mass Magazines and Middle-Class Manhood, 1890-1915" (University of Wisconsin Press, 2010).
Daniel Clark begins by quoting a grumpy Andrew Carnegie: "A college education unfits rather than fits men to affairs." Clark, a historian at Indiana State University, then spends the rest of his monograph showing how popular new, mass-audience magazines, including "Collier's Weekly," "Munsey's Magazine," "Cosmopolitan," and the "Saturday Evening Post" contributed to dramatically changing that stereotype. "American mass magazines," says Clark, "spearheaded a cultural reconstruction of college and middle-class masculinity…in the years surrounding 1900, as they emerged as a central national cultural forum, our nation's first truly national media."
Clark thus posits an answer to the important question of how and why the undergraduate college experience, previously limited to tiny fraction of the population, increasingly came to be considered an important, even essential, part of middle class life. In 1900, less than 4% of college-age youth attended college, but that figure has approximately doubled every 15 years or so ever since, and nowadays we hear that everyone should aspire to a college degree. Although Clark places too much emphasis on mass magazines as causal factors, he is entirely successful in showing that college life was moving closer to center stage in American culture at the turn of the twentieth century.
A perennial and central issue in interpreting the relationship between popular culture and social change is determining whether the culture is driving such change or merely reflecting it. By using verbs such as "spearheaded," Clark tends toward the former, and this tendency is accentuated by the fact his book on "creating the college man" is more interested in the "man" than it is in the "college." That is, the context in which he places his arguments and evidence is the by-now familiar historiographical site featuring the "crisis of masculinity" at the turn of the century, while the changes already under way in the colleges themselves—and which gave the magazines something to write about—receive relatively little attention.
One would not guess from Clark's book that after the Civil War (and well before 1890), many colleges were abandoning the prescribed classical curriculum in favor of electives (pioneered by Harvard President Charles Eliot in 1869) and more utilitarian courses and courses of study ("I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study," said Ezra Cornell in 1868). The classroom changed, too, as faculty-enforced drill and recitation gave way to lectures and even seminars. Finally, extracurricular life, particularly athletics, became for many men (the overwhelming majority of college students were male) by far the most important part of their college days. Robert Grant (Harvard 1873) later cheerfully celebrated the "C Man's" advice to students:
"Avoid probation" is the tag he whispers to the young,
"Or otherwise some college team is likely to be stung.
A skillful choice of studies makes one's afternoons all free;
The chief merit of electives to the man who aims at C."
Such are the words of wisdom he utters from his throne,
For the C man owns the college and sets the college tone.
The four mass magazines that Clark studies brought changes already occurring on campus to the public's attention. No longer was college portrayed as the refuge for sissies and near-sighted, bookish weaklings hiding from real life. Rather, in an increasingly organized, bureaucratized society, as Americans worried about how young men could prove their mettle, the college came to be seen—and increasingly presented itself—as the appropriate arena for learning about manhood. Clark argues convincingly that "the single most potent appeal of the college experience would be the way it could seamlessly unite the various discordant facets of ideal masculinity in transition. The college man could be the vigorous athlete and the civilized scholar, the genteel leader and the modern professional. He could find fraternal bonding and 'instant' tradition, while indulging in a raucous sporting culture. He could simultaneously prove his self-worth through athletics and work (as a student or after graduation)."
Clark's systematic survey of the four magazines demonstrates a large and increasing amount of ink being spilled on college-related topics. The "Saturday Evening Post" even ran "College Man" issues; its 1900 version included articles by, among others, Stanford President David Starr Jordan ("The College Man's Advantage in the Coming Century"), former president Grover Cleveland ("Does a College Education Pay?" [answered in the affirmative], and Princeton President Francis Patton (Should a Business Man Have a College Education?" [he agreed with Cleveland]. Short stories, many aimed at capturing the excitement of college athletics, especially football, further glamorized the campus scene. Indeed, says Clark, "the rise of manly sports on college campuses no doubt was the key factor in the transformation of the image of college."
Clark's most vivid evidence comes from the clothing advertisements: as the twentieth century's first decade unfolded, rugged, jut-jawed college men (the Arrow Shirt man's cousins, perhaps?) wearing fashionable, ready-to-wear suits, became the new models for young men—whether on campus or working as managers in the new firms and corporations. Daube, Cohn, and Company even produced a line of "Harvard Clothes," which "traded on the cachet of the Harvard name and its myriad associations with upper-class refinement and culture." (Imagine the lawsuits that would result from such a marketing strategy today.) Clark concludes that the magazines' "embrace of college, especially with regard to advertising images, ended up twisting the appeal of college into associations appropriate for a new age of consumption." What was being marketed, in short, was not so much education (at least as generally understood) as a particular kind of maturational experience, one that would give a young man a leg up on the corporate managerial ladder in the new world of big business.
Of course, not everyone was expected to be able to take advantage of such experience. Women, even educated ones, were expected to be accessories; immigrant men (in this era of the New Immigration from southern and eastern Europe) were quite literally not part of the picture these magazines painted. And yet, rhetorically at least, college was not explicitly confined to the "right sort" of fellow. Clark does not discuss the widespread alarm among many elite college leaders after the century's turn when a growing number of Jewish students began arriving on their campuses—alarm that led to many years of exclusionary policies. Nevertheless, what Clark rightly refers to as "the seeds of democratic openness" inherent in American ideas about "merit" (based partly on older conceptions of "the self-made man") were there, waiting for the right moment to be used by the excluded.
Overall, Clark's book is a valuable addition to the growing historical literature on the meaning and significance of higher education in America. Despite its repetitiveness (due partly to its thematic organization) and omissions, it clearly and thoroughly illuminates crucial sources of popular images of college life. Such images remain familiar to this day and, whether we realize it or not, shape our own expectations and perceptions of what college is and should be about.

A group of commercial truck dealers, who filed a suit against Ford Motor Co. in 2002, was awarded $2 billion in damages by an Ohio state court. The Court of Common Pleas for Cuyahoga County, Ohio, favored the dealers, saying that Ford overcharged some dealers in its program that offered unpublished discounts.
Westgate Ford Truck Sales in Youngstown, Ohio, was represented by James Lowe, of the law firm Lowe, Eklund, Wakefield and Mulvihill, based in Cleveland, Ohio.
Lowe said "the law and the facts are what they are." In last Friday's ruling, Judge Peter J. Corrigan said that Ford made the dealers pay a total of $800 million more than they should have for almost 475,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks, such as tractor-trailers and bulldozers.
An interest of $1.2 billion was calculated and added to the total damages. The court based this amount on the formula used by a jury in February to award $4.5 million to Westgate Ford, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
Ford had said that it will file an appeal to reverse this decision, which had been certified as a class action on behalf of over 3,100 dealers across the nation.
Ford spokesman John Stoll said that "significant legal errors" were committed by the trial court. He said that Ford continues to assert that the dealers weren't harmed by the CPA program. Rather, Ford believes that the dealers received significant benefits.

Banks, Edwards could make an impact
Updated: April 29, 2003, 12:15 PM ETBy By Darrell Trimble | NFL Insider
When the NFL took down the big top on Sunday, 262 players were drafted. But no sooner than the Oakland Raiders made receiver Ryan Hoag this year's Mr. Irrelevant, another, more competitive circus opened. With hundreds of talented college players available as free agents, teams were frantically trying to sign players before other teams got the drop on them. "It's extremely competitive," Vinny Cerrato, the Washington Redskins' director of player personnel, told the Washington Post. "With some of these guys, there are 17 or 18 teams after them. It's all the same guys that people are after." And while most of the players picked up after the draft won't be in the NFL after training camp, many have a shot to stick.

Carport kits or metal carports kits can be also sued for framing awnings as these are commonly used for a number of applications and you probably might have used these for making your garage. However, if you haven't used these carport kits or metal carports kits yet, don't worry I will cover about these a little layer.
Why Frame Metal Awnings with Carport Kits or Metal Carports Kits?
Why to use carport kits or metal carports kits for framing awnings and why we need a metal awnings might be the questions in your mind and I would like to say that you will definitely require awnings especially if you are living in a comparatively hot climate or you get direct sunlight to your windows. An awning is also known as overhand, which is typically made of polyester yarn, acrylic, cotton or any suitable material fixed over the carport kits or metal carports kits especially made up of aluminum, steel or iron and it is attached to the exterior walls of the buildings. In a warmer day or if the sunlight directly falls on your windows and especially glass windows, the majority of the sunlight is absorbed and pass on to your living area and thus the temperature in the living areas goes a little bit higher. For minimizing the sunlight on the surface of your windows a slanting shed made from the carport kits or metal carports kits is used to cover your window, which is known as awnings.
In addition to carport kits or metal carport kits structures, today's awnings especially in windy areas have much more features such these awnings have wind sensors and sometimes fiberglass is also used in addition to the carport kits to provide strength to the metal awnings.
History of Carport Kits or Metal Carports Kits Framed Awnings
Carport kits or metal carports kits provide structure and strength to the awnings and that's why now days these metal carport kits or carports kits based awnings are even used for protecting larger areas from harmful sunrays. The initial awnings were fixed and thus have limited scope and later by the mid 20th century, lots of improvements were made in the structures and these were made flexible and people had options to adjust awnings depending on climate or their own requirements. The metal carports kits or carport kits for awnings were designed in better way and with the help of pulley and rope, these were made flexible.
Although steel, aluminum, iron in the form of carport kits or metal carports structure provide the solid support to present today's metal awnings but at the same time, these awnings has been much improved now and motorized operable awnings are more and more used. Although manual operated awnings are as good as the motorized, these require manual operation and can also be tilted, fold or erected as per the requirement and climatic conditions. The quality and structure of carport kits or metal carport kits again play a key role in providing strength and structure to the awnings.
Benefits of Carport Kits or Metal Carports Kits Framed Awnings
We are well aware that metal carports kits or any other carport kits provide strength to the structures and if it a little larger structure, steel is the best option and similarly metal awnings whether steel awnings or aluminum awnings are most durable and if properly aligned with the glass window can significantly reduce the inside temperature. This reduction in the temperature of the living area can significantly reduce the electricity cost, which would have otherwise been consumed for running air-conditioners. So, there are not only monetary benefits, but the quality carport kits and metal carports structure and a designed fabric or polyester yarn or other material used for making awnings can significantly enhances the look of the house or office.

One thing I am discovering while working on this project is that it is not as easy as I thought it was going to be. I was hoping my embroidery skills were better than they are :) The large weave linen would not be my choice again as it is difficult to draw a design on and stretches out of shape easily. I guess practice is what I need though and what better way to get it than committing to 100 squares. Hopefully there will be some improvement in my stitching before the end!

My second blessing represents my husband. I put his initials and plan to make a couple more blocks dedicated to him as well as several for my son. We have been married for 22 years and he is truly the love of my life. I can't imagine how or why I was so blessed to land such a catch! He is a great father to our son as well as a wonderful husband. He travels quite a bit and is in England right now which is probably why I am so gushy writing this because I miss him! He will be home on Monday.

- Be singular in your Professional Development focus.
- Professional development needs passion, commitment and accountability.
As educators, there are many areas of our practice that we would like to improve, change, revamp and even discard. This is the time of year, during the final learning stretch before the summer break, that we think about our focus for the following year. As educators, we take time to reflect and think about what worked with students, what to do more of and what to change.
Our district staff development department had a planning session with my favourite mentor Sharon Jeroski. I went away with a renewed belief that to have effective personal professional development, educators need to select one single focus, find a group of similarly minded educators that want to work together. In other words, professional development needs passion, commitment and accountability. There are always many aspects that we want to change but to be successful we need to focus on one singular item each year. In our district, here are the broad topics for our action research learning teams that educators select as a focus of inquiry: assessment, critical thinking, diverse learners, ESL, french, healthy living, leadership, literacy, music, numeracy, social responsibility and technology.
We at the Computer Using Educators of BC hope that your focus includes the integration of technology into classroom instruction and that you will join us at our annual fall conference. Our theme this year is "Turning the Classroom...on the Edge of 2.0".
Feel free to comment on this blog post. What is one thing you would like to implement, tackle or take on next year? What is one problem that you would like to change? What significant thing would you like to accomplish?

If you should be the type of person who is definitely hectic and work several tasks at exactly the same time, the following is a quick-fix technique which will restore your credit rating beginning in only three days.
Day One: get three-fold file from annualcreditreport dot com and grab a pen-highlighter within hand even though you read your three-fold reports one at a time. You can easily invest your lunch time break at the office to focus on anyone associated with the free credit reports from all 3 bureaus. While reading through, highlight any bad item you will find and be sure you recognize just what was reported here.

Within close of work, spare a few momemts to pay attention to a second form of your file. Keep in mind that you've got your Experian, Transunion and Equifax. Repeat equivalent procedure as you performed during lunch break. Again make footnotes if necessary (it could even be anything you wish to accomplish with respect to your report provided that it will enhance it).
Reserve the next apply for when you get house thereby applying exact same process as you did for the first two, but be sure you accomplish it that exact same day. Some individuals tend to be fast readers and can comprehend all three reports easily. Give consideration to your self lucky in the event that you get into that category.
Day Two: concentrate on one report at any given time, and on a separate ordinary and nice report write out all unfavorable entries and mistakes you need to eliminate. Perform same for the continuing to be two data making use of one report for just one version of your file. Remember that the 3 bureaus won't be the same and you will deal with them independently.

The Sinhalese are the dominant ethnic group in Sri Lanka (formerly, Ceylon), an island off the southeastern coast of India. Composing about three-fourths of the population, they live mainly in the central and southwestern portions of the island. The Sinhalese have lived in Sri Lanka for more than 2,000 years. They were ruled by various European powers for over 400 years until Sri Lanka was granted independence from Great Britain in 1948. Since that time, they have been engaged in nearly constant conflict with the Tamil minority, who have called for an independent state on the north side of the island.
The Sinhalese are divided into two major groups. The first group is the mountain-dwelling Kandyan Sinhalese, who are known as a more traditional, conservative people. The second is the Low Country Sinhalese, who live in the coastal lowlands and are more cosmopolitan and progressive. The Sinhalese speak an Indo-European language called Sinhala.
The Sinhalese follow the Buddhist religion, but because of Sri Lanka's proximity to India, the people are also heavily influenced by the Hindu caste system. Castes are ranked social classes that are based upon birth and occupation. For example, farmers have their own caste, fishermen have another caste, and priests have yet another caste. At birth, individuals are automatically included in their parents' caste and are required to marry within that caste. Members of a highly ranked caste generally attempt to avoid contact with members of lower castes, for fear of being spiritually polluted by them.
The largest caste among the Sinhalese is the farming caste, whose members number about one-half of the total Sinhalese population. The great majority of the farmers grow rice. Coconut, manioc, tomatoes, potatoes, and onions are also cultivated. In addition, marijuana is sometimes grown as a cash crop. Virtually no modern tools are used in agriculture; consequently, almost all farm work is done by hand or with hand tools. Most farming families also keep animals such as cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs.
Almost all Sinhalese marriages are monogamous, composed of one man and one woman. However, a wealthy man may occasionally have more than one wife. Traditionally, there was no ceremony associated with marriage; a man and a woman simply started living together with their parents' consent. Today, however, that type of marriage is rare, and most couples hold a ceremony and sign a marriage license.
Most of the Sinhalese belong to the Theravada branch of the Buddhist religion. Although the Sinhalese adhere to basic Buddhist teachings, they follow many Hindu beliefs as well. For example, Buddhism is unconcerned with the Hindu pantheon of millions of gods, but the Sinhalese worship Hindu deities who they believe control daily life. Over time, the people may come to see a formerly popular god as inadequate, and they may change their allegiance to another god. In addition to gods, the Sinhalese believe in demons, whom they must appease through rituals conducted by exorcists.
Literacy in Sri Lanka is high, and most people have adequate food, shelter, and health care. However, Sri Lanka remains one of the poorest of the South Asian nations as a result of the low industrial growth rate. In addition, the nation has been torn apart in recent years by civil war between the Sinhalese and the Tamil minority who seek independence.
Even more overwhelming than the physical needs of the Sinhalese are their spiritual needs. Although a few Sinhalese converted to Christianity during the colonial period, most of them still have no real understanding of the Gospel message. Fervent intercession, evangelistic materials, and increased missionary efforts are all greatly needed if the Sinhalese are to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
* Pray for an end to the long-standing civil war in Sri Lanka.
* Ask the Lord of the harvest to send missionaries who can witness to the Sinhalese in culturally relevant ways.
* Ask the Lord to soften the hearts of the Sinhalese so they will be receptive to the Gospel.
* Pray that God will use the few Sinhalese believers to share the love of Christ with their own people.
* Ask God to raise up a mighty army of prayer warriors who will begin breaking up the soil through worship and intercession.
* Pray that strong local churches will be raised up among the Sinhalese.

"On planet Gliese 876d, sunrises might be dangerous. Although nobody really knows what conditions are like on this close-in planet orbiting variable red dwarf star Gliese 876, the above artistic illustration gives one impression. With an orbit well inside Mercury and a mass several times that of Earth, Gliese 876d might rotate so slowly that dramatic differences exist between night and day. Gliese 876d is imagined above showing significant volcanism, possibly caused by gravitational tides flexing and internally heating the planet, and possibly more volatile during the day. The rising red dwarf star shows expected stellar magnetic activity which includes dramatic and violent prominences. In the sky above, a hypothetical moon has its thin atmosphere blown away by the red dwarf's stellar wind. Gliese 876d excites the imagination partly because it is one of the few extrasolar planets known to be in or near to the habitable zone of its parent star."

Santa Fé, the former upper class neighbourhood located in the city centre of Bogotá, nowadays offers all kinds of satisfaction to men. The capital of Columbia and mega-city who is offering all kind of satisfaction to a wooer these days. Women of all ages and from all over the country providing temporary pleasures by offering their bodies. The streets filled with people and a certain level of safety in this old neighbourhood characterises an area of tolerance to those who make their living out of prostitution. The two friends, Natalia and Arelis built their social and economic ties in between those 15 blocks.
How can it be that Justo Gallego Martinez dedicates every moment of his life for more than 50 years to the monumental construction without any chance to see the construction completed? How can a human spend a whole life to fulfil such a difficult task without any doubts?

Insight Course
Welcome to "INSIGHT AND BEYOND," a two-semester course given at Boston College by Prof. Patrick Byrne of the Philosophy Department during the 2009-2010 academic year. The course is a comprehensive examination of Bernard Lonergan's magnum opus, Insight: A Study of Human Understanding, as well as certain texts that represent key developments in Lonergan's thought after the publication of Insight.
Prof. Byrne wrote, "Frequently I have been asked, 'Why isn't Lonergan better known? Why aren't his ideas part of the contemporary, mainstream philosophical conversations?' These questions are usually posed to me by people who have only recently come to appreciate the magnitude of Lonergan's intellectual achievements, and are puzzled why he is so widely ignored in intellectual circles. Certainly part of the answer has to be the great obstacle posed by his masterwork, Insight. For one thing, it is 770 pages long (in its 1992 edition), and difficult reading throughout. In addition, its first five chapters are devoted to topics of the methods of the modern natural sciences, topics unfamiliar to most readers."
This course and its video recording were undertaken in the hope of providing beginners (and perhaps also advanced scholars) with entry points and clarifications of Lonergan's often difficult but valuable contributions. The video recordings of the lectures and student discussions are being made available to the larger community of those interested in exploring Insight. The course was originally intended also to explore the developments in Lonergan's post-Insight works on meaning, interpretation, history, ethics, values and religion, during the second half of the Spring 2010 semester. However, class discussion of the 20 chapters of Insight itself required nearly the entirety of the two semesters.
All students shown in this series of video presentations have given their explicit permission to appear in them.

Amazingly enough, Yosemite Valley was never visited by white men until after the invention of photography, with the result that from the very beginning there has existed an almost continuous photographic record with this gentle wilderness.
Man & Yosemite is an account of the early history of Yosemite as it can be interpreted through historical photographs of the time. You watch as forests overrun meadows, and as people arrive, bearing rifles or cameras, wagons or motorcycles. Taken together, these pictures form a perspective of things gained or lost, of moments forgotten, and of changes that – like the growth of a forest – pass to slowly for us to see.
As a photographer myself, I take satisfaction as well in studying the photographs as photographs, watching as the increasing technical capabilities of the medium subtly alter the artists' visual sense – and by extension our sense – of what constitutes the "real" Yosemite.

New Horseshoe Reticles for Trijicon ACOG®
Offering Police Officers Fast Target Acquisition
Developed in cooperation with law enforcement officers and military officials, Trijicon is introducing two new advanced combat optical gunsights with horseshoe-shaped reticles: the ACOG 3.5x35 (TA11H-308) calibrated for .308 (7.62mm), and ACOG 4x32 (TA31H).
Increasingly popular among SWAT teams and other police officers, horseshoe reticles provide fast target acquisition in close quarter combat (CQB) situations. And, initial response to the Trijicon version has been extremely positive.
"Officers have responded enthusiastically to field tests of our new horseshoe," said Dave Spencer, Trijicon law enforcement sales representative. "They're always looking for an advantage in urban CQB environments, and our new reticle gives them fast acquisition with the added benefit of precision target centering in one package."
For more information on the new AGOG TA11H-308 and TA31H, contact your Trijicon representative.

I will also help you husbands get your wife to try black .cock. I will tell you I have been called nearly every name you can think of over the years and most were probably warranted but I still didn't like them. I have had sex with over 200 black guys, I left my husband to live with my black boyfriend for 29 months before I moved back with my husband, I got pregnant by a black guy when I cheated on my husband when I was 35.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Graham is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"I do not know Judge Sotomayor. I look forward to meeting with her and discussing the important issues confronting the court.
"As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I intend to be fair and firm in my questioning of the nominee. The hearings can be a valuable public service as they give us a window into the nominee's judicial philosophy and disposition. I hope we will have a meaningful opportunity to explore the qualifications, judicial temperament and judicial philosophy of Judge Sotomayor.
"I was fortunate to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee during the confirmation hearings of both John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Under intense questioning in private and public settings, both nominees advanced clear and concise understandings of the law. I was proud to vote for their confirmation."

A roundtable is a meeting where Project Managers discuss issues they face on a daily basis. Roundtables are held throughout the Portland-Vancouver area and each meeting has its own personality. They usually follow a basic pattern but sometimes use a different format for ongoing discussions. The meetings always start with introductions and usually a solicitation for topics. Topics tabled from previous meetings, that are still current issues, are given priority. The topics are selected by attendees based on that roundtable's rules and opened for discussion. Sometimes topics are prearranged, such as when preparation time for topic facilitation is needed.
These meetings are worth 1 PDU to PMPs, and can be extremely valuable and fun. There is often a balance of junior and senior Project Managers from a variety of disciplines to provide an eclectic viewpoint.

Day of Dreams Sale Q&A:
What is the Day of Dreams Sale?
The Day of Dreams is an annual sample blowout held at The Dresser Bridal. Fabulous designer wedding gowns marked down to just $100-$500 for ONE DAY ONLY.
So it's a sale?
Yes, it is! A big one! And as the event becomes more highly anticipated each year it has grown into more than a sale. It is an adventure for brides from Orange County and beyond that is sure to become a wedding planning memory.
When is the Day of Dreams Sale?
Sunday, January 27th from 9 AM to 2 PM
The Dresser Bridal
112-A W Commonwealth Ave
Fullerton, CA 92832
The Dresser is on WEST Commonwealth Ave just west of Harbor Blvd. One mile north of the 91 freeway in historic Old Town Fullerton. Our boutique is next to Roscoe's Deli and across the street from Ace Hardware and Salon Technique.
Are the dresses for sale really designer, name-brands?
Yes! There will be a selection of gowns from every designer line we carry: Maggie Sottero, Sottero & Midgley, Destinations, Casablanca, Blue by Enzoani, Modeca for Enzoani, Ella Bridals, Essense of Australia, Martina Liana, Mon Cheri, Kathy Ireland for 2Be, San Patrick, James Clifford and MORE!
What is the price range?
At the sale everything is marked way down! Dresses that retail for $1,000, $2,000, even $3,000 are all less than $500 each. Every single dress available will be $100, $200, $300, $400, $500 – no exceptions!
Since this is a sample sale will all the dresses be damaged or size 10 only?
Absolutely not! Our salon prides itself on maintaining the integrity of our stock pieces and offering a wide range of sample sizes. In addition to floor models there will also be brand new, never worn gowns offered in sizes 6 – 20. Smaller sizes tend to go fastest so get there early if you are petite.
What time should I get there?
At previous events the line has formed as early as 6 AM or 7 AM. We do recommend arriving as early as you can to have the biggest selection. However if you cannot arrive until the afternoon, not to worry!
Can I make an appointment?
No, the sale is first come, first serve.
Can I preview the dresses before the event?
No, the dresses are preselected and removed from the salon in preparation for the event.
How is it different than any other day at the boutique?
The sale is a high-energy, fast-paced sale environment. It is not as crazy as "the running of the brides," or chaotic cat-fight events you may have seen on TV, but it is FUN, FAST, and EXCITING. Adreneline might run high but we have organized it to be fair to each and every bride and to make sure everyone has a good time.
The Dresser Stylists can quickly assist with corsets, zippers, gown recommendations, etc. but this is not a full service day at the salon so you'll want to have an idea ahead of time about your size and the general style or shape gown you are looking for.
How does it work?
Once the doors open at 9 AM, a set number of brides (and their entourages) will be let in at a time. Once inside brides will find the sale dresses organized by size. Brides/guests can pull and try on as many dresses as they wish but they'll need to work quickly because there is a time limit for each group. Once the group's time is up dress selections must be made and the store is prepared for the next group.
What if my time is up and I can't decide?
There is NO LIMIT to the number of rounds OR the number of dresses per guest. If you need more time you can get back in line for another round or you can just buy your top 2-3 choices and decide later! At just $100-$500 everyone can afford a dress-change.
Can I hold a dress while I re-wait in line?
No! No holding, no preview, no exception.
Do you take credit card or check?
This is a CASH ONLY event. Please visit the ATM first.
Can I hold a dress while I run to the ATM?
No! No holding, no preview, no exceptions. This is a CASH ONLY event. Dresses are $100-$500 + tax. Please visit the ATM first.

This is another one of these "commentary" category pieces which I suspect pushes the envelope of my intention to make Explorations an "aggressively non-political" blog. None the less, my intention is not political, at least in the sense that I don't intent to make a position for either political party, and don't accept the usual distinctions between "conservative" and "liberal" in politics in any case. What I want to explore, here, is not politics so much as political logic, or the lack thereof.
A commenter at Volokh says:
However, many of us moderates or slightly-left-of-moderates find it curious that on every issue pertaining to race, conservatives side with the preferred viewpoint of the racial majority over the preferred viewpoint of the racial minority. Of course it could be a coincidence–and for most conservatives I believe it is–but it is nonetheless remarkable.
and later…
I want to clarify my point a little bit. The majority of conservatives are honest, kind individuals. However, it is curious that on almost every political issue related to race their view can be used to keep the racial majority in power. Is that really very controversial to suggest?
Controversial? No. Mistaken, and suggesting a really pernicious and deep-seated bias? Yes. Absurd if considered closely? Absolutely.
Consider the contrapositive: if there is something questionable about this notion that "every political position relating to race can be used to keep the racial majority in power" then it suggests that a more appropriate position would be one in which, on every question relating to race, one's position ought to lead to the assumption of power by a racial minority.
Now contrast that with taking the position that everyone ought to be equally entitled to power irrespective of race. Such a post-racial nirvana would, in all probability, result in a majority of the positions of political power being held by members of the majority race — or rather, if you can imagine it, of the number of people who happen to have very dark complexions who have political success being about the same as the general population of their particular constituency, while also having occasional particular individuals who don't match the makeup of their particular constituency. (This could be stated more precisely in statistical terms, but I'll resist the siren song of mathematics for now.)
Imagine if, in some parallel universe, we made our "racial" construct based on RhD antigen blood type instead of melanocyte distribution and activity. A person from that universe, given sudden visibility into ours, might find it wonderful and strange that we have as many members of the Rh negative "race" in political power as we do, but observe that most of our political processes still result in most political power being held by the Rh positive "race", and find that suggestive of continuing deep-seated racism. What's more, no political system other than one that especially privileged people of the Rh negative "race" could possibly have any other appearance — to a person from that parallel universe.
I don't deny that racism has had, and probably still has, an influence on political power — although I'm not at all sure that I believe the influence is always to the advantage of the majority "race". But I think it's worth asking, every so often, if we would recognize what a really "post-racial" society would look like. I suggest the really liberating, and liberal, position would be to strive to see no more political significance in melanocyte activity than we see in RhD antigens.

Please watch the video below for messages from a student, a teacher and a parent of the school where the project will be implemented.
- ICT (Information and Communication Technology) literacy through computers and internet has been promoted after the education reforms in 1999 in Sri Lanka. However, education quality at public schools in rural areas are low and there are significant disparities in achievement between urban and rural areas.
- The Anuradhapura district has been in an early stage of recovery from civil war (*2) of 30 years and in the process of demilitarization.
- A total 150 students from grade 1-9 (primary and secondary school) go to this school. They do not have access to computers due to the lack of facilities, even though it is compulsory to allocate ICT classes for secondary education according to the Ministry of Education.
- People who do not have computer literacy and skills are left behind from the current job market, as having ICT skills has become the basic requisite to get a decent job in Sri Lanka.
Improvement of ICT environment at school through the construction of a computer classroom for children to acquire ICT knowledge which will be essential in their future.
Main activities
- Construction of a computer classroom at school
- Provision of 10 desktop computers and a photocopy machine
- Provision of internet facilities, multimedia projector, and screen
- Provision of required furniture
- Capacity building program for teachers and students
(*1) In case the total amount of donations does not reach the targeted amount, the donations will be used for another project.
(*2 ) Civil War between government forces and LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) from 1983 to 2009.

Romanian National Party, political organization formed in Transylvania in 1881, dedicated to obtaining autonomy for Transylvania within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, autonomy for Romanian churches, and the use of the Romanian language for administrative purposes. After circulating their demands in a public memorandum, the party leaders were condemned by the Hungarian government at the internationally observed Memorandum Trial, and the party was dissolved (1894).

Q: We advertised our rental home as furnished, and we made sure that the furnishings were in good shape and attractive. The tenant we chose said nothing about the furniture when he toured the house, but upon moving in he began asking us to remove many items, because he said he had his own stuff.
We ended up having to rent a storage facility in order to store everything, which is costing us $60 each month. I think this cost should be paid by the renter -- what do you think? --Linda F.
A: I'm with you. Your renter knew that the home was furnished and he had ample opportunity to raise the issue with you when he saw the house. Had he done so, you could have raised the problem right then, pointing out that not only have you spent money to buy and maintain the furnishings, but you'll also incur additional expenses if you have to store them.
You've factored the furnishing costs into the rent; now, you intend to factor in your sto...

The Western Kentucky University Sustainability Committee
The Western Kentucky University Sustainability Committee was created in late 2008. The committee, which is comprised of faculty, students, and staff, is charged with integrating principles of sustainability into University academics, operations, and culture.
The WKU Sustainability Committee is comprised of 15 members. However, knowledge and expertise of individuals all over campus is needed, requested and welcomed. If you would like to join a subcommittee or make a recommendation for formation of a subcommittee to address a specific goal or issue, please contact committee chair, Christian Ryan. Additionally, everyone is welcome to attend Sustainability Committee meetings. Meeting times are set for the year and posted on the WKU Sustainability website calendar.
The WKU Sustainability Committee made remarkable progress in 2009 and 2010. The Energy Conservation Task Force subcommittee created the WKU Energy Policy, adopted by the University in spring 2009 and celebrated by a visit from former Kentucky Governor Beshear. The Fundraising Task Force established the WKU Green Fund, to which donations can be contributed to support major sustainability initiatives at WKU. The committee helped to create a storm water quality management plan for our campus. And the WKU Sustainability Committee is supporting the Education for Sustainability Steering Committee to help integrate Education for Sustainability as a critical focus in academics.
This fall, the WKU Sustainability Committee is completing its first three year term and working on identifying future goals. Meetings are always open to all, and dates are posted on the on the Sustainability website calendar.
If you have ideas for the WKU Sustainability Committee, please contact committee chair Christian Ryan at: email@example.com

Key eurosceptic MPs are planning to push David Cameron further on his plans for European reform next week, Coffee House has learned.
Leading members of a powerful group of right-wing Conservative MPs, who meet regularly to discuss strategy, will call on the Prime Minister to set out more detail on giving power back to Parliament and his plans for reform.
'The ECHR isn't enough,' says one source. 'We need to hear more detail from the Prime Minister and we will ask for that as soon as next week.'
The precise wording of the demand – and how it will be delivered – are still being discussed, but the rebels are keen to avoid a repeat of Bernard Jenkin's letter in January which demanded that Parliament be given the power to veto every aspect of EU law, but had less impact than hoped because its list of signatories turned out to be a bit of a mess and therefore easy for Downing Street to knock down. Other options than a letter, including an early day motion, are being considered.
The MPs believe their case will be reinforced by the presence of a number of angry eurosceptic Conservative MPs who have had a bad week in the reshuffle for one reason or another. Liam Fox and Owen Paterson are, according to many colleagues 'close to blowing up' after the former was offered a promotion below his capabilities and the latter was unceremoniously dumped from the department he loves and knows a great deal more about than most other Tories.
Few suspect that Paterson and Fox will blow up this side of the general election, but what their colleagues hope they'll do is start making comments about the sorts of reforms that David Cameron should be aiming for. Fox already does this, but his power will increase now that he appears to have set his face against the government by refusing a job. Paterson is particularly key in this given the amount of contact that he had with the European Union. Neither man needs to blow up to have an impact as even quite gentle comments about what the government needs to do in a renegotiation can quite easily be read as them increasing the pressure.
Both men are ideally placed to lead the 'Out' camp in the 2017 referendum: before the reshuffle, colleagues had already identified Fox as the man to do this and he made no effort to bat it down when it was raised on the Andrew Marr Show. But Paterson does not have some of the baggage that has put a number of eurosceptics off Fox. Some think the latter is 'tainted' while being utterly furious that the former was sacked as Environment Secretary. Paterson's views on Europe are well known and still best set out by James in this 2011 interview. He could also be a formidable leader of the 'Out' group. If either does end up in charge of that campaign, they will create the alternative centre of gravity in the party that some of their colleagues who dislike Cameron are hoping for. Both would certainly not try to stop that from happening after this week's reshuffle.
