Hey everyone! I'm sorry this took so long, but here is another chapter of Gate Notes! I know you are all excited, and I hope you will let me now how excited in a review! Standard disclaimer applies. Enjoy!
Jack: So, we don't know where we are?
Teal'c: O'Neill, that is incorrect. We are on a transport ship of some kind.
Kaylee: She's not just a transport ship. Serenity's the best ship in the 'verse.
Teal'c: You see, O'Neill. We are on the Serenity.
Jack: Thank you, Teal'c, but you know what I meant.
Jack stands up and looks at the rest of the SGers. Rodney's rolling up the Twister mat while doing a happy victory dance. Yes, it is as scary as it sounds. Carson has somehow found bagpipes and is playing them quietly. Actually, can you play bagpipes quietly? Huh. Anyway... Carter, John, and Daniel are apparently really bored, as they are doing the Macarena.
Carter, John, and Daniel: Hey, Macarena!
Teal'c is trying to figure out how one does the Macarena and what its significance is. Jack sighs audibly.
Jack: Look. Let's go out and see if there's a Stargate anywhere. C'mon. Pack it up.
Rodney and Carson grumble, but comply. John, Daniel, and Carter, however, are still Macarena-ing. Teal'c has figured out the dance and joins them.
John, DJ, Carter, and Teal'c: Hey, Macarena!
Rodney: Why are we the only ones working?
Carson shrugs. Jack goes over to the mini-boom box and switches it off.
John: Right in the middle of my dance moves!
Jack: Now we're going out to the surface. There will be no lollygagging, no dancing, no singing, and no horseplay.
Rodney: Hee hee, you said lollygagging.
DJ has not really been paying attention. Instead, he's been turning around and humming "Macarena."
Jack: What did I say about singing?
DJ: I'm not singing, I'm humming.
Jack: Daniel, what did I say about trying my patience?
DJ: To not to.
Jack: Thank you. Now grab your gun and follow me.
Carter: Um, sir? Telling him to get his gun may not be the best idea right now.
Jack: Right...Uh, Daniel, no hard feelings, right?
DJ cocks his gun.
DJ: Of course not.
Jack turns to Mal and gestures to the doors.
Jack: Can you let us out?
Mal nods and pushes one of the buttons on the console next to the doors. The only sound is the doors opening.
Jack: There's no hard feelings here, right?
Mal: I was just lookin' out for me and mine. I'd expect you'd do the same.
Jack nods and heads out the doors with the team following him. They keep going for quite a while. The terrain is rocky and it gave an aura of foreboding. They reached a flat, round clearing in the rocks where two groups of people stood. They heard snippets of conversation. Rodney came to the front to see what the hold up was.
Rodney: What's going…Oh. My. God. It's Kirk and Picard.
Jack: Is that who that is.
Rodney is speechless. He just nods.
They listen in on the Starship Captain's conversations.
Picard: Hopefully, I can have this finished soon and we'll be able to get out of here.
Data: Captain, you misused 'hopefully'. Do not be alarmed, it's a very common mistake. You should say 'I am hopeful that I can have this finished soon'. By saying hopefully, you are saying: 'Full of hope, I can have this finished soon'. It does not make sense.
Picard: Uh, thank you Mr. Data.
On the other side of the circle, Kirk and his crew are prepping.
Spock: I'm not sure how logical this is, Captain. This is usually a Vulcan undertaking.
Kirk: I'm sorry…I… can't hear you…over…the sound of…how awesome…I am.
Spock: Are you sure that you are all right to do this, captain? Especially after what happened this morning?
Cue Lost flashback music:
(dramatic chord)
Jim: Spawk, whatare wegoing to donow?
Spock: That is highly illogical, Captain.
Jim: Are you challengingmeto adeath match, Spawk?
Spock: Spawk?
Jim: How do youspell it then?
Spock: Spock.
Jim: You can rear 100,000children, but you can'teventellpeople yourreal name.
Spock raises an eyebrow
Spock: 100,000 children, Captain? That is highly illogical.
Jim: But,isn't thatwhatthe nameof yourbook iscalled? Or maybeit was fromyour times at the academy.
Spock: Captain, are you…intoxicated?
Jim looks puzzled at Spock, like "Huh?"
Jim: I'll pretendthatyoudidn't just saya really longwordthat I think you've called me before.
Spock: I'm sorry, Captain. Are you…drunk?
Jim: Are youaccusing your señor officer (pushes out his chest trying to be macho) ofusingtribbles when I ran outof beer? Because I willhave you know (pokes with pointer finger on Spock's chest like the drunk captain he is.) that I findthatveryattractive. (Capt. Kirk passes out into Spock's Vulcanly calm self.)
Spock: This is highly illogical.
Spock tries to stand Jim back up and Jim does the whole timber fall to the ground. Spock doesn't show much emotion in his face but you can tell he's saying "I don't know why I even tried that." He picks up one of Jim's feet and starts to drag him to the infirmary.A few people stare at him wondering what happened.
Bones: What happened?!
Spock: I'm sure everyone's wondering that.
Bones takes Jim's vitals. When Bones gets to taking Jim's pulse, something is different. The heartbeat sounds like 'Jingle Bells.'
Kirk suddenly sits up.
Kirk: KHAN!!!!
Kirk lays back down, unconscious.
Spock: Such outbursts of emotion would never be tolerated on Vulcan. Such activities are illogical.
Bones restraines the unconscious Jim.
Bones: I'm just doing it for safe measure, Spock. There's nothing to worry about.
Spock raises his eyebrow.
Bones: I'm just gonna do a full body scan to find out what made him do that whole "I live!" thing.
Bones finishes his scan. He is now looking at the results.
Bones: No…this can't be right. I can't say that it hasn't happened before.
Bones: According to this scan his health insurance is down!
(dramatic chord)
Spock: he should have switched to Aflack. Any other choice would have been illogical.
Endangered duck in cargo bay being transported to a planetary reserve breaks out of his cage and makes it to the infirmary and none of the crew members seem to notice. Once there…
Duck: Aflac…
The sliding door closes on him, stopping him from finishing.
Spock: This is serious. I must go meditate.
He walks off and Checov runs in
Checov: Keptin! Keptin!
Probably Expendable Crewmember: You idiot! He can't hear you. He's dead!
Bones: He's not quite dead yet.
PEC: Look at 'im. He's not even movin'
Bones: He's getting' betta'.
PEC: Well, he'll be dead in a day or two. Maybe you could put him on the cart and drive him around a bit.
Bones: You're just jealous because you're not the one in danger.
Duck: Aflac!!
PEC: Ah!! The white rab…wait a minute. You're a goose.
Duck: Afla. (shakes his head no)
PEC: It doesn't matter. No animals are allowed in here.
He pulls a phaser on duck. Duck leaps at the Expendable Crewmember's jugular. PEC drops dead on the floor. Checov pulls a phaser on the Duck and fires.
Duck: Aflac!!!
His words fade off as his body vaporizes.
Kirk: Ooo. Shiny sparkly.
Bones: How long have you been there?
Kirk: I gotherejust in timeto seethat guyI'venever seenbefore get kilt.
Scottie: Did someone say kilt?
Spock bursts into the room.
Spock: Stop that! Stop that right now! It started out as a nice story about a spaceship captain being drunk. But now this is just silly. So stop being silly!
Kirk: Wow,I didn'tknow you actuallyshowed emotion.
Spock: Well, today is special.
Kirk: Why?
Spock: It's my birthday.
Kirk: Today? Stardate: 3.452398702183…
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: Let's celebrate! Whereis the beer?
Spock: You drank it all, sir.
Kirk: Oh, yeah. Where are the Tribbles?
Spock: I'm not sure if that's a good idea, Captain.
Kirk: Sure it is. They're cute 'n' cuddly, fuzzy, and they taste like beer. Even when they're deep fried, they taste like beer.
Spock raises an eyebrow.
Kirk: They taste like beer when you grill 'em too. You don't even have to marinade them. They make a funny screeching noise when they're cooked.
Spock maybe we should take the party up to the holodeck.
(I think they only had a holodeck in the Next Generation, Voyager, and DS9)
Random Crewman (in the distance): We don't have a holodeck, you twit!
Spock Vulcan neck pinches the RCM.
Another RCM (that was standing next to the other one): What th' hell man! You can't just go around neck pinchin' people. It's just not right.
Spock neck pinches him too.
Kirk: Spock,you just can'tgo aroundneck pinchingpeople.
Spock: I am not Spock.
Kirk: What?!
Spock turns into a Klingon.
Kirk: OhmyGod! Youare a…wait don't tell me. It's that thing…and it starts with a 'K', I think.
Klingon: Maghklah Tahree is the name.
Makin' rhymes is my game.
I'm the Klingon exchange student
Who's hittin' you up for some rent.
And since my name is so hard to say,
You can call me Bob just for today.
Kirk: Hittin' me up for some rent?
Bob: You know what I mean,
so give me some green.
Kirk: But we don't have any cash on this ship.
Bob: What currency, valuables, or trinkets you've got
I'll take them all to buy a robot.
Kirk: A robot? That was always Spock's dream to havea robot.
Bob: Punk'd!
He changes into Spock.
Kirk: This wholebirthdayemotion given byyou of allpeopleisa littleweird to me.
RCM: We don't have cable you twit!
Spock is like 'I thought I took care of you.'
Kirk: Wehavethe besttechnologyin the galaxybut we don't have cable?! (He looks like he's about to cry) Scottie! Get uscable!
Scottie: I canna break the laws of physics!
Kirk: I don't care about the laws of physics! Get mecable!
Scottie: I'm givin' 'er all she's got, Captain!
Kirk rolls up into fetal position sucking his thumb and rocking back and forth.
Bones: Alright, you all know the drill. I'll give 'em a sedative. Spock, try that mind blending thing. And, Scottie…
Scottie: Yessah?
Bones: Make sure the shields are working 'cause you know we're gonna need 'em later. And see what you can do about the cable.
(Ha ha sedagive. Yeah, okay I'm done)
Kirk: Ah! Rotating Pineapples!!
Bones: Sedative, now! He's losing it!
Kirk: Ah! Tap-dancing coconuts!
Bones: Nurse!!
Kirk: Ah! the Smurfs (is it Smurfs or Smurves?) are closing in! They're evil, I tell you! EVIL!!!!
Small blue people from Kantari 4 walk by. Kirk gives out a big scream, which hastens the small blue people in white clothes.
End flashback.
Kirk: I'll be…fine,…Spock. You're just jealous that you can't fight this time.
The two starship captains face off.
Picard: Do we really have to do this? I mean, we can see who the better captain is. It's me.
Kirk: As if. You're supposed to be French, but you talk like a Brit. Something's wrong there.
Picard: So? You never do anything captain-y.
Kirk: What does that have to do with anything?
Picard: We're fighting over who was the best Star Trek captain.
Rodney: Then shouldn't Janeway, Sisko, and that guy from Enterprise be here?
He looks around excitedly.
Kirk: Who's that?
Picard: No idea.
Kirk: To the death?
Picard: Sounds good.
The Death Match music starts and they begin to attack each other.
Teal'c: What are they doing?
Jack: Uh, they're playing tag, with very sharp looking scythes on the end of sticks.
Teal'c: That does not seem logical, O'Neill.
Spock: That's what I said!
As the battle rages on, Picard makes a cut on Kirk's chest, making his shirt shred and causing him to bleed.
Kirk: (in a low snarl) Ooo, that hurt. Is this blood? Nobody makes me bleed…my own...blood! Nobody!
Data: That is not correct. Captain Picard just…
Picard: Data, toddle off!
Data: Toddling, sir.
Kirk lunges and the fight continues. The SG team can only watch the match from the crowd of ensigns in horror or excitement. Maybe more excitement, but Rodney is going crazy over the match.
Rodney: Yah! Go Luke! I mean, go Kirk! I mean, I, I, I can't bear to watch.
Jack: Everyone knows that these sort of fights are rigged.
Carter: I wouldn't be so sure, sir. It looks like they're really going at it.
DJ: Hey, the guy with the bad hair cut just got cut by the old geezer.
(Ha ha. Geezer. Ha! OK. I'm done.) Suddenly, the death match music ends, changing to the Mary Poppins' tap dancing penguins soundtrack. The battle pauses. Picard looks puzzled, and Kirk looks surprised.
Kirk: Who…dares…put this…song…on my…death match mix?
Spock has conveniently disappeared from the scene. Teal'c notices this and raises an eyebrow.
Picard: Well, this is still a competition, is it not?
Kirk: I don't see why we should stop.
Picard: Data, if you would. (motions him to become a proctor)
The fight turned-tap dancing competition continues. Jack has been going around the crowd trying to gather intel. He comes to a man with pointy ears talking to a man wearing a blue uniform carrying a med-kit in a shiny box (the only reason Jack went to him).
Jack: Ooh…pretty, shiny. Uh, er, I mean…What's happening in the battle ring?
Spock: It's life, boy, but not as we know it.
Jack: Then, why do you seem tense?
Spock: I am not tense. I am only concerned with the safety of the captains, for the next few songs on that disc could prove deadlier than a death match for them.
Jack: Deadlier than a death match?
Spock: Deadlier than a death match. Which is exactly what I was informing Dr. McCoy of just now.
The music fades again.
Data: The scores are in from the voices in my head. Er, the simulated judging program. Picard received 7.0, 5.2, 3.7. 0.1 and 6.5. Kirk received 9.8, 7.9, 7.6, 8.4, and…
Data is interrupted by the next track on the disk. It's a rap mix. The bass is so loud, the very ground shakes. Rap battle, you say? Well it's not. It's too powerful and is breaking the ground into pieces. Rocks are falling from the ledges above. The crewmen take cover. The SGers, a couple of crewmen, Spock, McCoy, and Scotty take cover under an overhang.
Spock: (flips open the communicator) Scotty! Beam me up, Scotty!
Scotty: Ya don' have to yell, lady. I'm right beside you.
Spock: But shouldn't you be on the ship?
Scotty: Well, I couldn't jus' wait for this death match to come out on cable. A death match is always better when you have a front-row seat.
Kirk and Picard are still fighting a regular death match despite the ground breaking apart. Kirk swings his staff over his head and brings it down towards Picard, but Picard dodges it. Kirk's staff hits the boom box, stopping the music. The people who took cover are now coming back out.
Jack: Hey, weren't there more red-shirted people just a minute ago?
DJ: The in red shirts aren't as many anymore.
Teal'c pimp slaps him out of nowhere. Teal'c and Jack look at each other; then, they keep walking on.
Rodney: Oh my God! Picard's in a red shirt! And so is Riker! Are they dead?!
A "handsome" young man runs in wearing a grey ensign's uniform.
Ensign: What? The captain and first officer are dead?!No matter! I can do anything, even bring people back from the dead, for I am…Wesley Crusher!
He smiles and the bright white of his teeth blinds everyone in the general vicinity. A groan goes up from the Next Generation side of the arena. Dr. Crusher comes up to her son.
Crusher: Wesley, sweetie, I don't think…
Wesley: But Mother, I can do anything. I'm perfect!
He strikes a superhero pose. Everybody looks at each other then at Beverly. She raises her hands in defeat and backs away. Everyone pulls out their weapons.
Wesley: Hey, guys? What's going…
He never finishes as phaser beams, ZAT beams, bullets, small furry creatures, and other projectiles hit his body. Then he bursts into a billion points of light much like the Death Star exploding.
McCoy: He's dead, Jim!
Kirk: Thank God.
Data and LeForge come up dressed like Holmes and Watson.
Data: If the Captain is still alive, we'll find him! Come, Watson!
Picard: That's not necessary.
Everyone gasps.
Everyone: Gasp!
Kirk: How…did you…get…out of there?
Picard: When you left me for dead in that god-forsaken cave, you forgot one thing. I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Jack: Okay, we need to find a way outta here before this becomes a universal incident. (to crowd) Excuse me!
Everyone looks to Jack.
Jack: Can you tell me where we are?
Kirk: Of…course. Mr. Chekov…
Chekov: Ve're on the planet Dagobah.
Daniel: Dagobah?
Kirk: Chekov, you talk funny. Ooh! Say "nuclear wessel!"
Chekov: No!
Spock: Captain, they have seen our secret fight ritual. And you know what our rules about it are.
Kirk: Uh…sure! Just remind the others.
Spock: Rule 1: Don't talk about the fight ritual. Rule 2: Don't talk about the fight ritual.
Kirk: So why are we talking about it? That's not logical! Ha! In your pointy eyebrowed face!
Starts cabbage patching.
Spock: 'Pointy eyebrowed face'"
Scotty: Oh, come now. Where's your sense of humour?
Spock: Vulcans do not show emotions.
Scotty: Nonsense! Anyone'll show emotions after a few pints of brewsky.
Spock: Brewsky?
Scotty: Oh, it's an ancient Earth tradition. Now, I may not have any with me, but I'm sure we could replicate some.
Spock: As I am sure you are well aware of, the Enterprise does not have replicators. Just what, exactly, do you intend to do?
Scotty grins a dastardly, mischievous smile and starts sneaking towards the Enterprise-D.
Spock: I suppose I must make sure he does not do anything…stupid.
Random Guy Lookin' Like a Scruffy Lookin' Nerf Herder: You and me both, mate.
Keeps walking by herding his nerfs. A skinny-lookin' dude with a Little Green Man on his back runs by; he stops when he sees the SGers.
Rodney: Oh my God! It's Luke Skywalker!
Luke: Hi! Master Yoda, are these the ones the Jedi prophesized about.
The LGM hops down and looks at them. Before he can say anything, Wesley comes back.
Wesley: Good news, everyone! I'm so perfect that I was able to pull myself back together.
Yoda growls and pulls out his small lightsaber. He leaps in the air, flips, and cleanly severs Wesley's head from his body. Another great cheer goes up from the arena.
Jack: Wow, that little guy just killed the annoying ensign. I don't think we should get on his bad side.
Yoda: Remember that you must, or bust a cap in your (this next word is censored, but I find it best if you use a funny sounding word like cumquat or snorkel to fill in the blank) I will.
The SGers stare at him in disbelief.
Luke: I was just on my way to go to the tunnel where I have hallucinations that I am Darth Vader. Wanna come?
Rodney: I always wondered: Do you take anything before going in there?
Luke: Nope, just Yoda's mushroom soup.
Rodney: That explains it.
Disembodied Voice: Luke…
Luke: Ben, is that you?
Disembodied Voice: No, it's George Lucas, here to capitalize on some other aspect of your character. Who do you think it is? Do other disembodied voices talk to you? Well, do they?
Luke: No, I'm sorry I've offended you.
Ben: Oh, shut up. I just wanted to tell you that these are the people you need to fill the prophesy.
Luke: Oh, okay. Hey, guys follow me!
They run off behind the Jedi-in-training who leads them into the swamps of Dagobah.

Yup^. I think it was Harpers to lose from day one on hype, and he did perform overall, think Frazier gave it a hell of a run though.
I see Harper, and I see an entitled little punk with the ESPN hype machine behind him. The same one that takes a bat to a GABP wall when things don't go his way (and the wall promptly takes the bat to him). His entire demeanor is quickly making him a player I love to hate; rooting against him is a game-within-a-game.
I think Dusty killed Fraziers chances the day Rolen came back then Joey came back and he was benched bound. Then Frazier was pressing to prove himself again which he didnt need to do. He was awesome while he was playing everyday. Hopefully 3rd will be his position unless the Reds trade/sign a bat to play 3rd and Frazier goes to LF
I obviously wanted Frazier to take it, and for awhile this season it looked like he would.
But Harper deserves it more. Not because of hype and not because of personality. He was just better this year.
Better slash line, more HR and SB, higher WAR, better defense at more premium positions. He was better than Frazier was this year.
Really, I think Miley should have beat them both.

Back in the days when telephones were big and food portions were small, there was no obesity epidemic, or super-sized caskets, extra-wide toilet seats or Big Man recliners. So, you'd think that in a world of Thanksgiving-every-day-size plates of food, downsizing our portions would downsize our waists. But new research says "not so fast." True, you do need to shave a bit in many spots, but other areas of your meals need to expand. Here's where to go big and where smaller is smarter:
Good things aren't always in little packages. Those dainty, 100-calorie packs might not be doing your waistline any favors. In a study to be published in the Journal of Consumer Research in October, researchers saw that restrained eaters - classic chronic dieters who are triggered to eat by emotions or visual cues, not necessarily hunger - tend to eat more of small foods in small packs (two mini cookies each in four small bags) than regular-size foods in regular-size packs (four large cookies in one bag). That happened even if the calories were exactly the same in each.
Why? Most people, whether they're restrained eaters or not, think that small bags feel like diet food. Yet, oddly, they also think little bags of mini foods contain MORE calories than regular-size bags of regular-size food. Researchers think the tension between those ideas creates stress that makes restrained eaters lose their control fast.
Fortunately, it doesn't take willpower of steel to get your control back: Thinking of food as something other than food - meaning M&Ms become buttons, marbles or painted rocks; marshmallows become clouds; pretzels become logs - helped restrained eaters eat more like people without this emotional charge around food. Much better: Eat food that doesn't come in packages (broccoli, string beans, peaches, apples and other fruits and vegetables).
Super-size your salad bowl (carefully). Keep the volume, reduce the calories. Substituting heavy foods (pasta salad, cheese) with fresher, lighter ones while leaving portion size unchanged and using only lemon and vinegar for dressing is a great way to feel satisfied when you leave the table and when you look in the mirror. That means filling up on foods that have a lot of water, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, carrots, grapes, oranges, jicama, radishes - almost any veggie you eat raw, and most fruits. Eating high-fiber, nutrient-dense foods like these also helps you feel fuller longer and reduces the urge to overeat.
Downsize your dinnerware. If you're served unhealthy foods in large containers, you'll eat up to a third more than if you are served in smaller containers. One famous study found that people ate more popcorn from a big tub than from a small one, even when they thought it tasted bad. Apparently we've learned to think that availability, not hunger, should dictate how much you eat.
So change availability: Swap your planet-size serving plates for the 9-inch size. That way, even if you have what scientists call "completion compulsion" (meaning you don't think you're full until your plate is clean), you'll still come out ahead. And never eat directly out of a box or carton: Remember, "economy" size may be a money bargain, but it's rarely a calorie bargain.
Shrink your serving spoons. When you use a large serving spoon to get your dinner to a generous plate or bowl, you're more likely to help yourself to over 50 percent more food than if you use smaller utensils and dishes. Try using martini glasses for ice cream, small coffee cups for cereal and petite salad forks and dessert spoons for all your meals.
Cut restaurant meals in half. While 76 percent of restaurant chefs in one study thought they were serving "regular" portions of steak and pasta, what was on the plate was two to four times bigger than a serving size should be. A serving size of many foods is about the size of a fist. The goal is to shrink your stomach - it really will shrink - over a month by never overeating and by eating less at each meal. Soon you will find it becomes a habit.
Keep in mind that how much you eat isn't only about what's on your plate. Dim lighting increases comfort levels and lowers inhibitions, which might let you eat extra. Keep the lights up when you sit down to dine at home (you do sit down, right?). And turn off the TV; eating in front of it causes people to down more calories than in quieter, less distracting environments. Tune in to your spouse, your friends or the nice herbs on those vegetables instead.

Time Management
Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce. You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improvingthe situation.
Discuss, and decide together:
------why poor time management can become a major problem in companies
------what procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed effectively.
Zhang: Hi, Ms Wang, you know, our company is sort of out of control these days. Don't you think so?
Wang: Yeah. Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company. And that obviously has a lot to do with poor time management.
Zhang: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems. Why?
Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite idea of when they should complete a certain task. And …
Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.
Wang: That's the point. So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.
Zhang: So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our company?
Wang: You mean what procedures we can adopt?
Zhang: Sure. That's what our boss is asking us to do. Right?
Wang: Right. I think we've got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staff members realize how important effective time management is to our company.
Zhang: Yes, I think we can give them instruction in time management, especially those in supervisory positions.
Wang: Right, perhaps we can run a few training programs for them. If need, we may invite some experts from outside to help us.
Zhang: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member, come up with a job description of their own. In this way, they can be pretty sure about what they are responsible for and what they are not.
Wang: Yes, that's a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to. In this way,we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first.
Zhang: Good idea. So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own.
Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.

Ah, Spain! Warm Mediterranean breezes, siestas in the middle of the day…okay, so I've never been to Spain. In fact, I've never even left the country! Ugh, lame! Man, I need a vacation. It doesn't matter who you are there is nothing like getting away from the routine of everyday life and experiencing something new. Alex and I would love to do some serious traveling. Honestly, if I could, I would live in a different country every year. How amazing would it be to immerse yourself in Italian, Irish, or French culture for a whole year? (I hear there is a lot of gluten free awareness in Ireland.) But the reality is…that's not going to happen any time soon…or ever.
So how do you break up the norm? Keep your enthusiasm and a sense of adventure? If you would have asked me that a year ago I probably would have told you lots of great things that all would have begun with the word "I". "I need…", "I want…" Yes, taking care of your own needs and wants is very important – I absolutely need some time to myself to pray, to read, to workout, to get lost playing the piano, to think, to just sit still and breath. Now, however, I think my answer would also include serving others. There is so much joy, and self-fulfillment when you help others fulfill their needs and wants. It seems like a counterintuitive notion doesn't it? But I've been on the giving and receiving end of selfless service and no matter how you slice, service is key.
So even though I hope to one day, I won't be going to Europe in the near future. I can, however, keep my passion, adventurous spirit, and excitement for life alive and encourage my kids to do the same. Dream big. Hope. Aspire. Work for it. Until we get there though, there is one way to experience a taste of it. Eat it!
So last night we visited Spain …at least during dinner (gluten free, Food L'amor style!) Fancy right?! No, this wasn't a dinner for two. I wish! This Spanish Pork Paella has a easy going mild, all-around, tasty flavor and the kiddos liked it too. Even without the peaceful siesta's and ocean breezes it was perfect!
Paella is just the Spaniards version of comfort food using meat, veggies, and rice. There are a ton of different ways to make it and you could still call it paella. So here's my gluten free version…
4-6 boneless pork rib chops, patted dry
3/4-1 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. turmeric
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2-3 tsp. gluten free capers
1 pint homemade chicken stock or gluten free canned chicken broth
1 bell pepper (green, red, orange, or yellow), seeds removed and chopped
5-8 baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
*a few saffron threads if you got em'
1 lemon, quartered
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
parsley to taste
2 cups brown rice, cooked
Dump tapioca flour into a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and turmeric and gently stir together. Dredge the chops through the tapioca mixture until they are completely coated. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat, add garlic until it starts to sizzle, then lay your chops in. You just want to brown them on both sides. If they're still not done in the middle that's okay because you're going to poach them in the broth in just a minute.
Once they're browned on both sides pull them out and set the on a plate. Now add in the chopped bell pepper (any color you have), mushrooms and capers. Pour the chicken stock in and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the good stuff up. If you have saffron threads put just a pinch in. The tapioca flour will help to thicken the stock slightly. If you want it thicker then you can mix 1 tbsp. cornstarch with 1/4 cup reserved stock. Mix it in and it should thicken as it boils. Once the stock is bubbling, put the chops back in and let them simmer on medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes or until they are cooked completely through.
Serve over cooked brown rice with some freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped parsley, and walnuts sprinkled on top. Gluten free, savory, yet light and fresh! Make it look fancy for a special occasion or make any night special and take the whole family on an adventure…at least for dinner!

Embattled Congressman Bill Jeffersons local political empire continues to crumble as he trudges toward a showdown against federal prosecutors in northern Virginia. The Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee, a 70-member elected body that officially oversees party affairs in New Orleans, deposed Jefferson ally Stephanie Butler as its chair at the committees first meeting since new members were elected Feb. 9. The new chair is Jeffersons former law partner, James Gray, whose daughter, state Sen. Cheryl Gray, defeated Jeffersons daughter, former state Rep. Jalila Jefferson Bullock, in a November 2007 runoff for the state Senate seat that launched Bill Jeffersons career in 1979.
Butler, the former chair, gained some notoriety in recent years as the Jefferson operative who orchestrated the firing of dozens of white employees in the Orleans Parish District Attorneys office, according to former DA Eddie Jordan. Those terminations led to a $1.9 million federal civil rights judgment against Jordans office, which grew to $3.4 million with interest and contributed to Jordans decision to resign last October.
James Grays election as chair of the committee seems to complete a routing of Jeffersons political machine by the Gray family, though Gray insists there is no personal or political animosity between him and the congressman. The vast majority of people on the committee are new members and have no history or personal relationships with elected officials, Gray told Gambit Weekly. I think this is historic. He added that the new committee members come to the table with no agendas. Most of them are just ordinary citizens who were interested in getting involved. Everyone is excited about the fact that this is a presidential election year. The only thing we talked about is registering people to vote Democratic.
Other officers include Deborah Langhoff, who ran unsuccessfully for state representative from Lakeview, as vice chair. Jeffersons team did not totally lose out, however; Julius Feltus, who works for the congressman, was elected third vice chair. Other officers include Michon Copelin, daughter of former state Rep. Sherman Copelin, as second vice chair; Sabrina Mays Montana, secretary; Marc Napoleon, treasurer; and former Criminal Court Judge Morris Reed (also a Jefferson ally) as parliamentarian.
The November presidential election is expected to be hotly contested in Louisiana, which means the committee could play a crucial role in organizing local turnout and possibly getting national funds to promote the Democratic ticket.

Yorick Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello and welcome to my Igor...I mean Yorick build guide. Yorick is unfortunately one of the most misunderstood new champions to come out in recent memory. I see people running around with infinity edges and bloodthirsters all day and then saying Yorick is terribad. In response to this depressing sight ive decided to make a guide that will hopefully shed some light on the correct way to play and build a champion who in reality has a lot of potential.
The work of gravediggers is essential amongst the living, but invaluable in the Shadow Isles. There are many shades of death there, and each is embraced rather than feared or reviled. One can only ascend from one state to the next with the magical aid of a skilled professional. At the end of the first Rune War, Yorick Mori made his living as a gravedigger. His family owned and maintained the Final Rest Memorial, one of the oldest cemeteries in Valoran. The shovel he employed for his work had been passed down for generations. Each gravedigger taught his son that this shovel was imbued with the spirit of every forefather, and that those spirits would protect him during the long lonely nights amongst the tombstones. To his eternal regret, Yorick died without an heir, bringing the proud Mori line to a close. His body was interred with his shovel in the family mausoleum, and the Final Rest Memorial soon fell to ruin. Death, however, was not the end Yorick had expected.
Yorick emerged on the haunted shores of the Shadow Isles - not quite dead, definitely not alive - still clutching his beloved shovel. He soon learned that with it he could act as a ferryman for the Isles' undead denizens, helping them climb death's many-tiered ladder. This proved a curse, as a gravedigger must ''bury his quota'' before he too can ascend, or so the legend goes. No one knows what ''his quota'' is. Yorick dug tirelessly, waiting in vain for the day when he would be freed of his burden. As decades turned to centuries, the shame of his failures came to a head. He returned to Valoran to find his corpse, convinced that salvation might be buried with it. When he arrived, no trace remained of either the mausoleum or the memorial. Hope nearly lost, he discovered the League of Legends, and there saw an opportunity to immortalize the family name he allowed to be forgotten ages ago.
''Die first, then we'll talk.''
Pros / Cons
Lets start out with some of the pros and cons of Yoick and then move onto some of the ways I try and maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses.
Great harasser during any point of the game due to his minions
Abilities have low cooldowns
Deals flexible damage (His W and E deal magic damage on impact while his q deals physical)
Pro ultimate
Great staying power in lane due to his E
He wont be nerfed anytime soon (if anything he might be buffed a bit)
Gives you an excuse to talk like Igor while playing on skype
Can be difficult to get a good farm without using spells
Mana hungry
Can have a very slow start if dominated by opponents with superior range in lane
Passive is meh unless destroying towers
Still has several bug issues
Marks and quints were probably the hardest to decide on and the most discussed topic about Yorick between myself and my friends. When his minions spawn they do magic damage, when they attack they use your armor pen, and your passive increases your attack speed. I believe i have finally decided on armor pen marks and quints instead of magic, however as a reader you can decide for yourself.
Anyway, as i mentioned before, we start off with armor pen marks and quints, then we move onto mana regen seals, since Yorick is very mana dependent and hungry, and finally magic resist at lvl 18 glyphs because the extra tankyness really helps, especially combined with the defense mastery tree. However, i have begun experimenting with flat CDR glyphs on him. Combined with the mana regen seals and the mana manipulator, he gains the ability to spam his minions almost constantly, thus helping to give you a better farm and more kills, most of the time.
I go 9/21/0 on the masteries because being a melee champion with a melee inciting passive, the added survivability is extremely useful. I take 9 into offensive for the magic pen. Whenever Yorick spawns a minion, its does magic damage to whoever it spawns on, and more magic pen never hurts when youre doing magic damage. Optionally, you could go 9/0/21 for the extra mana regen, speed, and CDR. I find, however, that i have more than enough mana regen on this build already, and that the speed isnt very useful once you get a point in his Q and W. I dont think the CDR alone is enough to focus the entire tree.
Yorick is a very mana dependent champion. With all his skills being on low cooldown and the physical damage that he can do limited by the minions he has on the map, Yorick is almost forced to spam skills constantly. On top of this, his skills arent cheap mana wise either. This is why i chose to use mana regen seals AND start with a mana manipulator. This way, you wont ever have to worry about mana and can spam to your hearts content.
From there i upgrade into a soul shroud. Soul shroud gives a very solid mana regen aura, a 10% CDR aura, and gives the owner a great amount of health. Literally everything about this item is useful on Yorick. The health give yourself and your minions extra tankiness, the CDR helps spam minions, and the mana regen helps you to be able to spam minions in the first place. And not only does it help you spam, it helps your entire team during teamfights.
Next come boots. I build merc treads on Yorick because the extra 25 MR never hurt anyone, and it is my opinion that every melee champion should have some form of tenacity. Without the tenacity Yorick would be easily locked down, and the rest of this guide would be pointless as you would spend the entire teamfight stunned.

Internationally acclaimed rapper, Tinchy Stryder, has launched the East Village 'Artists in Residence' programme which will celebrate the homes and cultural legacy at the former Athletes' Village, now London's newest neighbourhood in E20.
Tinchy Stryder has revealed a new track developed with sixth-form performing arts students from the new education campus, Chobham Academy, in East Village. The new school anthem was unveiled last week by a live performance from students with Tinchy Stryder in East Village.
Following a visit to East Village earlier this year, which helped Tinchy draw inspiration from the people and surroundings in the new neighbourhood, he surprised the Chobham Academy students by hosting a masterclass to develop new ideas and hone their natural talent. A follow-up visit gave the students the chance to present back to Tinchy before they combined their talents to finish the anthem.
Tinchy Stryder, said: "I'm passionate about passing on my musical knowledge to young people and I was proud to be East Village's first Artist in Residence. Having grown up in Bow, and having been previously asked to develop the Olympic Torch Relay song, it's an honour to give back a lasting cultural legacy to the area that I grew up in."
I caught up with him after the event to talk about the programme.
What is the East Village Artists in Residence programme?
The East Village Artist in Residence programme is an important part of the cultural legacy and artists come in to help that grow. I was honoured to be asked to be the first Artist in Residence and also that the anthem created with students at Chobham Academy will speak directly to the kids and be a true legacy.
Why did you want to get involved with the project?
I'm from Bow, East London, just around the corner from everything going on at the Olympics last year, and helped out with the torch relay song. With the Olympic legacy, if I can be an influence by getting involved in any way then that's dope.
How do you think the project will affect the community?
I think it is very positive because it brings more opportunities. It would be nice for the people who have been living here for a while to benefit from the developments and improvements, I know this will happen but I know it will take time.
What's it been like seeing the incredible transformation in the area?
I could never imagine or picture anything like the developments going on today. It feels like a whole different place. It shows how we have progressed, when a lot of stuff you could only imagine a few years ago, comes true. It feels really good.
What is it you love about the area and what makes it so unique?
For me personally it's the friends and family I have here but when I was younger I guess watching TV, like Eastenders. It feels good now that east London feels like somewhere where people can meet and there's different places where people can socialise. East London is good; it's where it's at. There is something very special about the place.
You have worked with kids a lot – what is it you enjoy about the work?
I really enjoy working with younger people, I feel like sometimes when I was younger I didn't have the opportunity to meet, or speak or get advice from people who you respect or look up to for what they do. I feel like I can say "I'm from where you're from" and I can show them that it can be done. I like the connection and the bonding, it's natural, like that feeling in the air, it can't be replaced.
If you could give yourself a piece of advice as a kid looking back, what would you say?
I focused on too many different things growing up, I would say to focus on one thing that you love, go with your heart and stick to it. Without the heart there is no you.
good to put energy together. I think it's really important; it is only going to help them grow.
What do you think about Chobham Academy, now you've seen it yourself?
I was thinking, why didn't I have schools like this when I was younger? Everything is high tech and I like it. There's a good vibe, a good energy, especially with the kids and the young ones I was working with today, writing music and lyrics with. It's good energy.
They all seem really focused and there wasn't anyone who was just there for the sake of it. They've got plans and they've got aims and ambitions and hopefully everyone will fulfil that.
Tell us about the song you are writing with the kids from Chobham
I wanted to see what the school means to them. They told me what different colours mean to them, about healthy competition and working together. They gave me ideas about the melody and rhyming patterns. So I gave them a few ideas and will be back to see how they get on.
How important is it for kids to get involved in the arts?
I think it is really important for students to get involved with the world of arts. I believe everyone is artistic in one way or another. If you are in the right surroundings where there are loads of people as creative as you are, or maybe even more, it is
You wrote the official Olympic Torch Song and performed at the Games; what was that like? How did you get involved?
I did the Olympic torch song with Dionne Bromfield. It was an amazing feeling, as I could never picture myself performing at the Olympics, so it was a very proud moment for me.

Discussion in 'Books, Music and Television' started by Scripture Bird, Jul 9, 2014.
Director Ridley Scott's latest project: CBS News Article
I'm sure they'll make Moses out to be a madman just like Noah...
I heard the Russell Crowe Noah movie was horrible. Not even close to following scripture. And that surprised me given Russell Crowe is suppose to be a devout Catholic. I'm shocked he would agree to portray the Biblical patriarch in a movie that diverged from scripture so radically.
They are actors first, Christians second
Yes, I suppose so.
It would probably be a short lived career if they enacted religious conscience when considering a script.
Christian first or not a Christian at all.
'Exodus' new trailer and posters; Christian Bale says the biblical account of Moses is 'extraordinary'

You don't know anyone's heart.
I'm excited about the movie. Christian Bale is a great actor.
Is Christian Bale playing moses?
Yes, he is.
Not my first choice but...
they should have some smiley for ROFL
They should have animated smileys. They're so much fun. <<<That's a favorite. Found here
A prayer smiley would be great too. Animated or not we should have one in a Christian forum. This is a Bing source that shows prayer emoticons

Just like the title says! :) Plus it'd be great if it'll hold up for at least 24 hours as I can't bake on the day of my event - it's on a weekday night so I'm planning to bake the night before and bring them to work so I can go straight to my event and will ice them on location.
I'm pretty new to vegan baking but want to be able to offer my vegan friends a treat. Some of my friends are omnivores so I'd like all the treats to be tasty to minimize the amount of baking I need to do or the possibility of cross-contamination (especially with the gluten-free stuff). There's probably only going to be a dozen people at best and I'm already going to be making some snickerdoodles and a banana loaf. Thanks for your help!

Owned since new?
Owned for how long?
1 year(s)
Buy this make again?
Price and equipment10.0/10
For the money, the XR6 beats it hands down. Cruise control hard to manipulate control, trip meters and fuel gauge/consumption very inaccurate, speakers distort.
Under the bonnet10.0/10
Great speed and responsiveness - sometimes seems to 'slip' and keep 'empty revving'.
How it drives10.0/10
Decent handling, good pick up, sticks to the road well but a bit bumpy on suspension.
Comfort and practicality10.0/10
Seats are too small in the 'contouring'.
Aesthetics and styling10.0/10
Body kit needs improvement as clips break. I could do with better quality seat upholstery.
Safety and security10.0/10
Great amount of airbags, traction control, ABS.
Quality and reliability10.0/10
Poor quality parts, body kit clips break/come loose fairly easily, plastic bits around seats break easily, seat covering poor quality, stitching comes undone. Reliability - no concerns with car starting & running.
Overall verdict6.0/10
For the money, I would prefer the XR6 over the SV6 any day, and I have driven over 50,000kms in both of these cars (BAII XR6 sedan). While being a good quality motor car, with good handling, great responsiveness, good features etc, the Falcon goes one step better on every category above.

Irreversible, or mechanism-based, inhibitors are attractive tools in chemical biology. Attachment of a reporter entity, which can be a biotin, a fluorophore, a bioorthogonal tag, a radiolabel or a combination of these, allows for the identification, visualization, identification and spatiotemporal study of the modified enzyme(s) using various techniques and in complex biological systems ranging from cell extracts, living tissue to animal models. This is the field of activity-based protein profiling (ABPP). Within the group we develop activity-based probes (ABPs) for proteases, glycosidases and a range of other hydrolases and apply these in immunological and glycobiological studies related to health and disease. Together with these ABPs we develop focused libraries of (competitive) inhibitors. Together, this toolset allows us to perform a number of conceptual experiments. In comparative ABPP ABPs are used to discover new enzyme activities and to compare enzyme expression levels in different tissue. In competitive ABPP the focused inhibitor libraries are included to study efficacy and selectivity of these in complex biological samples. In fluorescence polarization ABPP we develop assays amenable for high-throughput screening to discover new chemical entities for inhibiting one of our target enzymes.

HAWTHORN knee victims Matthew Suckling and Alex Woodward will continue their rehabilitation in Europe over the next month.
The pair are planning to attend one of the world's biggest sporting contests, the Champions League soccer final at London's Wembley Stadium on May 25, as part of the trip.
The clash between German teams Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund is expected to draw a capacity crowd of 90,000 and a global television audience of about 300 million viewers.
The two Hawks may also attend the French Open tennis tournament and pay a visit to Australian international basketball star Joe Ingles in Barcelona.
The three-week mid-season break is designed to help mentally refresh the injured pair and further their sporting education as they continue the gruelling comeback from torn anterior cruciate ligaments.
It is understood they will continue to use first-class sporting facilities abroad to help maintain pace with their rehabilitation.
Fifteen AFL players have suffered season-ending knee injuries so far this year, including two more at the weekend, Richmond forward Chris Knights and Fremantle ruckman Jonathon Griffin.
Suckling, 24, is a key part of the Hawks defence and is a big European soccer fan.

Australia clinch historic series win
Australia have annihilated India in the third Test in Nagpur to clinch the Border-Gavasker trophy with their first series triumph on Indian soil in 35 years.
Spin king Shane Warne ended some tailend resistance from the home side when he had Zaheer Khan caught by man of the match Damien Martyn on the boundary to hand Australia a 342-run victory and an unassailable 2-0 lead with one Test remaining.
Australia's pace battery was outstanding, Jason Gillespie finishing with a match haul of 9 for 80, while Martyn scored 114 and 97 in a supreme batting performance.
The tourists declared at 5 for 329 earlier in the day, setting India a victory target of 543, and they were never in the hunt after their top order was torn apart to slump to 5 for 37.
Their last five wickets were more productive, but an Australian win was inevitable and it was achieved with India bowled out for 200 following Khan's lusty blow.
Opener Virender Sehwag provided the only top order contribution with 58 before his dismissal exposed India's tail.
Akash Chopra (1), Rahul Dravid (2), Sachin Tendulkar (2) , VVS Laxman (2) and Mohammad Kaif (6) all failed dismally as Australia's pacemen put on a bowling clinic with the new ball.
The home side were required to face just one over before lunch, Chopra getting a single to leave them 1 without loss.
A steady procession of wickets fell in the second session, beginning when Gillespie removed Chopra's middle stump.
The South Australian quick then got rid of Dravid in his next over, the Indian skipper getting an edge onto his leg stump after being comprehensively beaten by one which jagged in sharply from outside off.
Glenn McGrath claimed his 450th Test scalp when he had Tendulkar caught by Martyn, who took an excellent diving catch at point.
The batting maestro managed innings of 8 and 2 in this match upon his comeback from an elbow injury which has kept him sidelined since August 1.
Laxman played a shot that was not there off Michael Kasprowicz's very first delivery and was caught by McGrath at fine leg, before Kaif was sent packing in the Queensland paceman's next over when he was caught behind by Gilchrist.
Sehwag and Parthiv Patel then put on a 65-run partnership to hold off Australia before Sehwag was out, caught by Clarke off the bowling of Warne, who claimed his 540th Test wicket.
The dashing Indian opener hit eight boundaries in his 94-ball stay at the crease.
Patel fell three overs later, caught behind by Gilchrist off Gillespie for 32, and Australia could smell blood.
Anil Kumble was bowled by Gillespie for 2 before the last two wickets provided some frustration.
Murali Kartik was eventually caught behind off McGrath for 22, before a quickfire 52-run last wicket partnership ended with Khan's dismissal for 25.
The Indian number 11 had provided some joy for the home crowd, smashing Warne for two sixes in one over and also hitting a couple of boundaries.
Ajit Agarkar remained unbeaten on 44.
Magic Martyn
Earlier, Martyn fell three runs short of making a century in each innings when he was dismissed for 97.
India were disappointing from the word go, displaying a defeatist attitude by choosing negative field placings as Australia resumed on 3 for 202.
Martyn was simply superb, his growing confidence from back-to-back centuries evident, as he frustrated India with regular boundaries.
He and batting partner Clarke thrilled the crowd with a 148-run fourth wicket partnership before the New South Wales rookie was out to Kumble for 73.
After some breathtaking strokeplay that included a mammoth six of the bowling of Agarkar, Clarke was caught by Kaif, ending one of the most impressive innings of the series.
Australian captain Adam Gilchrist joined Martyn at the crease, intent on declaring the innings upon Martyn's seemingly imminent century.
But it was not to be, with the Western Australian edging a Khan delivery to wicket-keeper Patel to be out for 97.
He would have become just the second Australian after Sir Donald Bradman to score a century in each innings of a Test match against India.
Team-mate Simon Katich also missed out on a century when he was out lbw for 99 on day three.

16th October 2011
I find it hard to get excited about buildings. I lack the imagination required to look at an architect's plans and be able to picture what the building will actually look like once it's finished. Don't get me wrong – I'm pleased we're going to make more space for our children's work, I really like the idea of a coffee shop in the building and I think it's exciting that we're preparing for 600 here on Sunday mornings. And that is what has most motivated me to pray, fast and give during this season – not the building itself, but the anticipation of growth.
There are 203,000 people in Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill, Battle and Rye. At least 190,000 of them don't attend church. Over 55,000 are under 25. Among the 87,000 from Hastings & St Leonards, 24% of adults are claiming a key benefit and almost 6,000 have no qualifications at all; 29% of children live below the poverty line; 28% of local 11-year-olds haven't reached the expected reading level; and there are over a thousand unemployed 18- to 24-year-olds.
While building blueprints don't inspire my imagination, the bleak picture painted by these statistics sure does! As we reach out to those in our town and the surrounding areas – whether it's through Community Groups, a project serving the poor or any other means – we're believing God for growth because it's what He has promised to do, both in His Word and through the prophetic.
I may not be able to picture what this building will look like a year from now, but I can imagine story after story of transformed lives as we take the gospel out in word and deed. And that makes me want to pray more, fast more and give more.

In the digital era, CUF could not resist the temptation to show its true self and its history through images. Be them video images or interactive infographics From the old silent and the black and white movies – an innovation of its time – to the short viral films, images are a powerful way of showing the Chemistry that is bonding Us.
This is where you search for the efficiency of the message. Of the harmony between the texts and the photographs, the video films and the interactive infographics, through short phrases and strong titles. This is the privileged area of multimedia. This is where you can learn about CUF's present and discover its past. This is where we can catch a glimpse of the future of the main Portuguese chemical company.
The theme of a viral video of CUF or the motto of a historical film of the company, the news of events and goings on, that which is worthy of appearing in the company's newsletter… all of this can be seen and read, studied and analysed. It's all accessible and can be scrutinised.
In this storage of images and information, of videos and texts, there is a coherent line of communication which is always present. A belief rooted in the company: in CUF there is a Chemistry bonding us.

It has been a while since I've blogged, I have to say it brings back a lot of school memories. In about 3 days I start my first day at Epsom Girls Grammar School, and it does give me a lot of mixed feelings. Roughly a week ago my parents bought my uniform and stationary, it's a bit weird to see the huge difference in what I got back in St Pius. I've been talking to a lot of the year 8's, soon to be year 9's, and they seem pretty stoked yet nervous for their first day, which I agree on. But it's great to have people who will be supporting me during my journey.
Thank you :)
I am a Year 8 at St Pius X Catholic School in Auckland. I am in Room 7 and my Teacher is Mrs Tui.

Awesome products raise the bar of customer experience by addressing the most common curiosities of their users. Not to be confused with the minimum viable product, the most common curiosity indicates the primary need of majority of your users when they are interacting with your product.
While designing new customer experiences, I've found it useful to observe human behavior and identify the most common curiosities of users. For instance, one of our recent products – X-Ray for Video on Kindle Fire HD – solves a common curiosity of almost all movie watchers – "Who's that actor and where else have I seen him?". Shazam raises the bar when it comes to music by addressing the most common curiosity – "What's that song and who sang it?".
A few utility apps have mastered the art of addressing their users' common curiosities. Google Maps is my favorite among them. Most users are curious to find out how far is a particular place from where they are and how long will it take them to get there. Google Maps addresses them by automatically showing distance and time in search results.
When a product solves a universally applicable need, it inherently raises the customer experience. It is equally important to reduce friction in the interaction, so users do more of it. X-Ray comes up by just tapping the screen while watching a video, Shazam identifies a track by just tapping the screen to tag it and Google Maps automatically shows distance and time.
What is the most common curiosity of your users?

Wondering what to get Mom on her upcoming special day? A number of online tools can help you find a gift that's tailored to match her interests and personality.
These "recommendation engines" let you specify a few key variables, such as age, personality type and other information and then suggest gifts and the online merchants that will sell them to you.
Yahoo recently rolled out its Shopping Gift Finder that offers customized recommendations drawing from 60 million products from more than 200,000 merchants. The service is powered by Choicestream, a provider of personalization services.
How does it work? First, select the type of gift you're looking for. Yahoo's Gift Finder lets you pick occasions such as Mother's Day, birthdays and anniversaries, a new baby or popular holidays.
For Mother's Day, you simply indicate the age, gender and relationship of the person you're shopping for, then describe her lifestyle using categories such as "active retiree," "fitness fanatic," or "stylish, sophisticated" (that's my Mom) by clicking appropriate links. That's all there is to it.
You then see a list of shopping search results that match your criteria. Results are grouped into categories—you can drill down by clicking the "more like this" link for each category. Yahoo members can save information about products; you can also save the profile so you don't have to build it again when you return.
How good are the suggestions? That depends on how picky you are about the gifts that you give, and how confident you are in the choices suggested. Though the suggestions Gift Finder made for my Mom all seemed good, I'm relatively clueless when it comes to the finer points of women's clothing, perfume and other accessories that were recommended. I'll fall back on my old reliable technology in this case—asking Dad for suggestions.
Somewhat paradoxically, I found the Gift Finder to be the most useful for product categories that I'm really familiar with. When I searched for birthday gifts for my "adventurer traveller" brother, for example, recommendations included some really cool gear that I hadn't previously come across (and that I may actually give him after I've tested it out for a few months myself).
If you like the idea behind a gift recommendation service, be sure to check out Surprise.com and FindGift.com, which are both similar to Yahoo's Gift Finder. Many of the other popular online shopping search services also offer gift suggestions.
Search Headlines
NOTE: Article links often change. In case of a bad link, use the publication's search facility, which most have, and search for the headline.

Unanswered: Exit Access (Locks it up)
I have a database that was in 97 but I just IMPORTED everything into ACCESS 2000. The entire time I have this database open, it says SETTING UP WIZARDS at the bottom in the status bar. When I hit FILE-EXIT, or the X, or the EXIT Button on the form, it closes the database but doesnt close Access, I have to close Access by ending the program through task manager. This problem does NOt occur in any other database, whether it is 2000 or 97. Just this one. What could it be?
Heres What I have
Windows 2000
Access 97 and 2000 on the same PC (different locations)
Office 2000 SP3
I went into VBScript and looked at references. The only difference in this one and the other 2000 databases is a REFERENCE called Utility (which was written for this database and must be there). This database does run off of modules though where as the others run off of macros. Any suggestions?

The can happen when a recordset is open in code and not closed properly. Make sure all recordsets get closed and set to nothing.

When a City Falls Trailer (2011)
24 November 2011 Factual 106 mins
2010 on the Canterbury Plains and all is well. Lambs, blue skies and daffodils. In Cathedral Square choir boys sing to their God. Punts push new season's tourists along the Avon. They photograph the 'Garden city'; the 'most English city outside of England'. We get hit with a 7.1 earthquake. We stand up, wave our fists at the heavens and compliment ourselves on our ability to recover. And then we get hit even harder. Now the city has fallen. Many are dead. Many injured. Many narrowly escape. A fragile people reappear in the following days. We have learnt from the first earthquake and once again a response is growing. Once again adrenaline is taking over. Now the whole country is rallying for Christchurch. It's the energy of the people that's unprecedented. Communities are rising from the sand. People are holding tight to each other. A year later and the quakes keep rolling. Now the Canterbury earthquakes are the most ever quakes recorded in a series. And we're still counting....
