I'm delighted to welcome Michael Scott and Colette Freedman onto the blog today! Their novel, The Thirteen Hallows, releases today and I think it sounds absolutely amazing. In fact, the description just happens to press all of my buttons. I don't know about you but this looks like a must read for me. There are details on the book as well as a book trailer and a giveaway for US/Canada/Ireland folk further down. In honour of the release, Michael and Colette have a little guest post on writing inspiration. Enjoy!
13 places I have found/find writing inspiration from
- Travelling – airport, airplanes and hotels are perfect for writing.
- Overhearing conversations in restaurants; writing is the perfect excuse to be nosy.
- Dreaming – always keep a notebook by the bed and record your dreams the minute you wake up.
- Friends – though you must never use their real names.
- Family – never tell them you're using them in your story.
- The News – especially good if you're writing a horror story.
- History – the curse of history (as George Santayana noted) is that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. So all stories are cyclical.
- Paintings – every painting (and photographs too) tell a story.
- Music – similarly, every piece of music has a story hidden within it.
- National Geographic – We could get a novel out of every issue.
- Myths & legends: those stories survived for a reason and we can learn from them.
- Woods and forests – the older the better!
- Sitting in front of a crackling wood fire. (A storm blowing outside – optional, but always welcome.)
The Thirteen Hallows by Michael Scott and Colette Freedman
A sensational new series from a New York Times bestselling author and an award-winning playwright
They are the Hallows of Britain.
They are thirteen ancient treasures: mysterious, magical, infinitely powerful, with the potential for great good…or absolute evil. The legends of some of the Hallows are well known—Arthur's sword, the Grail Chalice, the Stone of Scone—but most of the others have been lost in the mists of antiquity. However, the thirteen Hallows survive, protected by hereditary Guardians who can trace their lineage back to the age of Arthur and beyond.
The Hallows have been used time and again in the battle with the Demonkind who once ruled this earth. The last time the thirteen Hallows were gathered together was in the time of Arthur, when they were used to drive the Demonkind from this world and seal the entrance between this and the Otherworld. The battle cost Arthur his life, and with his death the age of the knights passed and the Hallows were dispersed into the safekeeping of the Guardians, the direct lineal descendants of those who carried the first Hallows. The sacred objects have remained with those families for more than two millennia.
Now someone is gathering them together.
MICHAEL SCOTT is an authority on mythology and folklore, and the author of the New York Times bestselling series The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. He lives in Dublin, Ireland.
COLETTE FREEDMAN has won over sixty awards for her commercial writing and directing, and was reecently named on of the Dramatist Guild's "50 to Watch."
Find it on Amazon US and Amazon UK.
"Scott (The Alchemyst) and Freedman blend magic, folklore, mystery, and history in this zippy fantastical thriller… Relentless pacing and a richly detailed story line replete with historical references and bombshell revelations give this fantasy tremendous mainstream crossover potential." – Publishers Weekly on The Thirteen Hallows

The Auto Shop
Review for The Auto Shop
CHARLENE B. on 01/07/2015
"Best service in town"
Jim, Bob, Juan, and Lori are fantastic. The whole crew is great, but I have not worked directly with them all. My car has had lots of issues and they have been quick, friendly, fair priced, and honest in the diagnosis and repairs. The oil change price is a bit higher than the drive through places but totally worth every extra penny for the service. I have been going to them for the last 6 or so years and have not had a bad experience yet! Great job, and keep up the good work!

New Poll Has Trump Beating Hillary in Virginia
A new poll has more bad news for Lady Pantsuit.
She's not well-liked by Sandernistas.
According to an Economist/YouGov poll, 46% of those dummies who felt the Bern say they will not vote for Hillary this November. Only 41% plan to vote for Mrs. Bill Clinton.
It gets worse, though.
Donald J. Trump has the support of 14% of Bernie Bros and Babes.
Maybe that's part of the reason that he's doing so well in the polls these days.

Tebey's debut record, The Wait, released in late 2012, was a resounding success the moment he stepped out of the studio with songs like "Resurrected Heart" and the runaway hit "Somewhere in the Country". The 31 year-old, Nashville based singer/songwriter has told some fine stories over his career – in a variety of genres and through his songwriting success with artists such as One Direction. In June of 2014, Tebey teamed up with longtime friends Emerson Drive to release a countrified version of the popular EDM/dance song "Wake Me Up" by Avicii and Aloe Blacc. Tebey's music is a dynamic mix of country with a fuse of pop, rock and a little soul for good measure.

Cold Creek County
Cold Creek County's signature multi-part vocal harmonies are bigger and more upfront than ever before. The feel-good party songs from the band's Till The Wheels Come Off (2015) debut have also given way to a warm and more reflective look at the people and places around them for their new Homemade EP. This features music that would fit naturally sandwiched in a playlist featuring the likes of Dallas Smith, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line and Dierks Bentley. It's the sort of music that comes naturally to this Ontario country rock band and remains consistent with the band's small town/country worldview and Cold Creek County wouldn't have it any other way!

Formed in 1980, Gordon Deppe and Sandy Horne have made Spoons a different kind of household word. The Spoons, from Burlington, Ontario, defined the sound of pop and a new wave in the 80's with hits such as "Nova Heart", "Romantic Traffic", "Old Emotions" and "Tell No Lies". The Arias & Symphonies album, recorded at George Martin's famous Air Studios in London, England, solidified the Spoons' presence on the new wave music front; Chart Magazine later named this album as one of the 20 Most Influential Albums of the '80s. In 2010, Gordon and Sandy released Static In Transmission on Fontana North: their first collection of new songs in over 20 years. For the Spoons, the retro 80's movement, nearly three decades old, shows no signs of slowing down – not one bit.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, Paul Stanley has just announced an intimate one-off Los Angeles club date with his R&B revue, SOUL STATION. The KISS frontman and his band are set to play on Saturday, March 11 at Hollywood's Sayers Club. The show marks Stanley's first since canceling four Southern California gigs last month after suffering a concussion while skiing.Stanley said in the announcement for the club date: "We're living in a time of being fed canned pre-programmed backing tracks and lip syncing in place of the electricity and passion of real live R&B. "When I was a boy, before I ever saw THE WHO or LED ZEPPELIN, I saw Solomon Burke and Otis Redding. I saw THE TEMPTATIONS and all that music is part of the foundation of the music I've made. SOUL STATION is my chance to celebrate it for a night that's real, live and faithfully recreates the sound with the respect it deserves." He went on to say: "Whether it's THE STYLISTICS, THE DRAMATICS, THE TEMPTATIONS, Smokey (Robinson) and THE MIRACLES, BLUE MAGIC and on, these songs, arrangements and sound just blow you away. "I don't play guitar in the band and we don't do a single KISS song. That's not what this is about. "It's magical to hear those songs played right and we're making magic." Stanley told The Pulse Of Radio that he always wanted KISS's greatest work to contain everything that he loved and admired about his favorite records growing up. "I'd like to think that the bands that you are influenced and inspired by doesn't necessarily mean that you mimic them," he said. "It means that their passion, or their approach is inspirational. So, whether its gospel, or Motown — it all is music of passion. And that's what I think we wanted to and I wanted to see us channel was the passion and the fervor that all the music I loved had. Y'know, its not about perfection — it's about passion." KISS next performs on April 21 in Reno, Nevada at Grand Sierra Resort & Casino.

The Late Show is a Comedy Group that began in the early '70s in Memphis, Tennessee. They operate on three simple principles: If it SPEAKS, MISQUOTE it; if it MOVES, TRIP it up; and if it FALLS down, KICK it. The group first appeared on WEVL, a small community radio station and ultimately branched into live shows and video. The members of the group live in different cities, so they can't be captured altogether; but they do regularly meet, achieve critical mass and produce new fisionalble material. Their stuff does have a long half-life, so some of the material on their CDs is decades old and some is freshly minted.

Obajana Cement PLC's new production lines 3rd and 4th will require about US$1.6bn, according to the company's Chairman / President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote. The recently completed and commissioned lines 1 and 2 of the factory were built at the cost of US$1.2bn.
The Obajana cement factory was conceived by Dangote to meet the entire cement need of the country, and so reduce the price of cement in Nigerian market. With two production lines, each of 2.5Mta, the factory alone it is expected, will be supplying about 50 per cent of the total cement needed in the country.
And when the productive capacity of Obajana is doubled as planned within one year of operation, the factory would have a total cement output of 10Mta, with an additional 5Mta produced by Benue Cement Company, Ibeshe 3Mt, the group alone will be meeting more than 100 per cent of the cement requirement of the country.
Dangote said the fund was syndicated by a consortium of 12 local banks (Afribank, etb, UBA, First Bank, Access Bank, FCMB, Zenith Bank, Oceanic Bank, GT Bank, Skye Bank , Fidelity Bank and Intercontinental Bank PLC, including development finance institutions, (FMO, IFC, African Merchant Bank, and European Investment Bank), and that a fres US$1.6bn is needed to develop the 3rd and 4th lines.
He explained that of the US$1.2bn syndicated by creditors to construct the first and second lines of the cement factory, the international finance institutions committed US$330m, the consortium of local banks provided a facility of US$150m, and the Dangote Group contributed more than US$500m from its internally generated revenue.
"With our plan to launch additional 10Mt, it would move Nigeria from two and a half million to 23Mt in 2010. Based on this, I
can guarantee you that between now and 2010, the price of cement will fall. I don't see why we should not sell our cement at below N1,000 from the current N1,130. By June, the price will crash. We have agreed to invest US$1.6bn more to be able to achieve this figure, through additional 10Mt," he stated.
His words: "We believe that undertaking this project has benefitted the whole of the country by breaking new grounds in many areas of the economy. It will save the economy at least US$460m annually in cement imports and generate at least 10,000 jobs in the host community directly from the cement plant and the ancillary industries. We commissioned the best equipment manufactured in the world to build the plant and hired the best brains to make the project a reality." he said.

The topic of 'Women in Sports' is always an interesting one.
A number of great female athletes have had the endurance and will to not only achieve the unthinkable in their respective Sport but have also surpassed their male counterparts. While the internet is littered with a number of fantastic write ups about the greatest sportswomen of all time, the criteria against which each of them is judged is always a moot point.
While the number of titles and Olympic records is a good yardstick to gauge greatness of sportswomen, it could be limiting. In this article other factors like versatility, longevity and contribution to sports have also been considered.

Like clockwork, Woody Allen is back with his latest annual effort, Blue Jasmine, the follow-up to last year's disappointing To Rome with Love. Forgoing his recent penchant for European locations in favour of San Francisco this time, the film stars Cate Blanchett as a fashionable New York housewife whose life is thrown into crisis when her husband (Alec Baldwin) loses everything and she is forced to go and stay with her working class sister (Sally Hawkins). The eclectic ensemble also includes Bobby Cannavale, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbarg, and, most interestingly, comedians Louis C.K. and Andrew Dice Clay. The material looks darker than anything Allen has done in a while, and Blanchett looks as terrific as expected in what could be her best role in years, so here's hoping the film delivers.
Blue Jasmine arrives July 26 in the US and September 5 in NZ. Check out the first trailer and poster below.

TE FA 5 years ago7 Comments
Aaron Hernandez is active for Thursday night's game against the Jets.
The Pats' Week 12 inactives are DE Chandler Jones, LG Logan Mankins, TE Rob Gronkowski, RT Sebastian Vollmer, CB Marquice Cole, G/T Markus Zusevics, and DE Jake Bequette. Hernandez is an elite tight end play anytime he takes the football field. He should be locked into fantasy lineups. And oh by the way, fellow "questionables" Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd are also active Thursday night.

Notational Velocity is a Mac OS X desktop application that stores and retrieves notes. The same area is used both for creating notes and searching. I.e., in the process of entering the title for a new note, related notes appear below, letting users file information there if they choose. Likewise, if a search reveals nothing, one need simply press return to create a note with the appropriate title.
CLI is a command line interface compiler for C++. It allows you to specify the options that your program supports, their types, and default values. This specification can then be translated to C++ classes that implement parsing of the command line arguments and provide a convenient and type-safe interface for accessing the extracted data.

Midi Converter for Mac is a small and simple utility designed mostly for musicians who compose music using their computer. However, it can be very useful for anyone who wants to convert MIDI music files to MP3 or other popular formats. It is around 10 times faster than the other competing programs, because it converts the files directly rather than having to record them first. The program is very easy to use, and a trial version is available. It also allows you to embed a player, and has a number of other features. It does not rely on your sound card with regards to the quality of the final output, so you can expect high and consistent quality, regardless of what sort of computer you are going to use it on.
PDF OCR is a simple drag-and-drop utility that converts PDFs and images into text documents. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF or image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs and images that were created via a scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier. It uses the Tesseract engine to perform OCR, and currently supports over 20 languages for OCR.
IDLE is an academic learning management system. It is an interactive learning environment. It was first developed to improve the learning environment of database courses.

Teachers can use IDLE to provide exercises, guidelines for the exercises, necessary materials for that particular course, and so on. Students can go through the exercises and their guidelines and upload their answers in this system.

Running a JumpBox allows you to be up and running in minutes on any OS or computing environment. Other benefits include portability, simplified GUI-based administration, and a built-in automated backup system. Once you've deployed one JumpBox, you'll be able to use any of over 50 great Open Source server applications.
Hormiga is a language designed to be simple and powerful, allowing users without software programming knowledge to make the programs needed to automate the calculations of everyday problems. Generally, it is necessary only for the users to be aware of the problem they want to solve. The language allows programmers to focus on the problem and not to worry about the interactive interface with the user. The programmer will have to state the instructions to solve a problem, in the same way they would do manually. The steps may depend one upon the other. Like most languages, Hormiga has support for functions and the possibility of creating libraries of commonly used code. Unlike most languages, Hormiga automatically and dynamically creates the graphical user interface (GUI) for programs, has support for calculating definite integrals in multiple dimensions, and incorporates a new concept called Step, similar to a procedure of Pascal, but allowing you to state dependences between them.

...but just noticed the typo in the Liquidation.com banner here at ABW. "$1 per uinque bid". So, there you have it. Free proofreading, albeit a little late. (actually, not that funny...I just normally use the smilies that are randomly picked for me with a new post.)

Never noticed since I never look at those banners. I've got bannerblinditis.
So I had to refresh the page to see what you were talking about.
You're pretty observant and someone must've been in a hurry or their spell checker wusnt wurkin'.

I don't know why, hopefully someone here can explain it.
When I look at any of my sites, I can't see any typos.
I look at any other sites, the first thing I see are the typos.
I've seen this one before, just never mentioned it.
Although I do suffer from banner blindness as well, I actually watch and reads the ads on ABW.

Now seriously Haiko,
After sfcom found that typo in the Liquidation.com banner, I think it would be a good idea to do some of the rotating banners on ABW with some kind of small innocent typo on purpose, that way you can make sure we all read those banners, and then maybe have a small contest every month to see who has spotted the typo.
As for the contest prize, just an ABW or just a simple ABW or something similar next to the winner name, should do.

Thank you Haiko. I am putting it toward my holiday fund for toys at the battered women's shelter again this year, same as you helped me with last year. I know it is early, but it isn't too early to be thinking of them.

Orthodoxy Is....
Welcome Home!
For New Visitors
There are many things about Orthodox worship that may surprise and confuse you. We want you to know—we welcome all visitors and hope you will feel comfortable asking questions at an appropriate time! We want to help by answering a few of those questions now, so you know what to expect on your visit. Also visit our Audio Podcast Library or our Article Resource Library to find more answers to common questions. You may want to browse the Our Parish page including our history and mission. Learn more about our faith and opportunities to grow by following the links on the Our Faith page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long are services? On Sundays, Divine Liturgy begins at 10:30 AM and lasts about one hour and fifteen minutes. Other services during the week and throughout the year range from thirty minutes to two hours. To learn more about a typical Sunday worship service, listen to the series called Sunday Worship found in our Audio Podcast Library.
Is there childcare provided? In Orthodox services, most children normally worship alongside their families. The church does offer a Children's Room during services with age appropriate activities for those children too young to sit quietly with their parents. Older children, pre-teens and teens are encouraged to participate fully in the liturgical life of the church.
Is there a dress code? There is no formal dress code for attending church services. However, in worship we stand before the judgement seat of God. Orthodox parishioners tend to wear simple, modest clothing to services that befits the seriousness of worship. This typically ranges from business casual to formal wear. Shorts, revealing clothing and worldly logos or images are never appropriate for services. Women are not required to wear head coverings, but those who feel so inclined are encouraged to do so.
Can non-Orthodox receive the Holy Eucharist? Because the Orthodox Church celebrates the Holy Eucharist as the most intimate union of believers with Christ, it is reserved for those members of the Orthodox Church who have prepared themselves to receive the Body & Blood of the Lord by confession and fasting. Non-Orthodox are still invited to participate fully in the worship of the church and are welcome to approach the chalice for a blessing from the priest during the eucharistic distribution.
How can I become an Orthodox Christian? The first step toward membership starts with attending our weekly discussion group. After you have made the decision that you want to become Orthodox, you should speak with the priest. He will pray a special blessing prayer over you during the Divine Liturgy and you will become a catechumen. Orthodox Christianity is not something we learn from books or classes even though we have a lot of those. Orthodoxy is learned by following the faith as a way if life. The period of the catechumenate normally lasts for one year. During this special time you will not recieve the sacraments but you will worship, pray, fast and participate in the life of the Orthodox faithful in order to prepare you for entrance into the Body of Christ. When your period as a catechumen is over, with the blessing of the priest, you will be recieved into the Orthodox Church by either Holy Baptism or Christmation. This normally takes place twice a year on either Pascha or Christmas.

Touching Strangers Photography Exhibit by Richard Renaldi
What Happens When We Touch Strangers
Artist Richard Renaldi knows that most of us don't want to talk to strangers, let alone touch them, and he's using that reluctance to make intriguing photography. Since 2007, Renaldi has been traveling the country and asking strangers to touch each other. According to his website, the objective of his Touching Strangers project "is to introduce an unpredictable variable in a very traditional photographic formula, to create a spontaneous and fleeting relationship between complete strangers in front of my 8x10 view camera."
An NPR piece on Renaldi's work caught my attention today, and got me wondering if he's noticed that people are more or less willing to touch strangers based on their geographical location. So I asked Renaldi, who told me: "People in the country and on the West Coast have more time and are a little more relaxed than in the cities."
The photos capture different reactions to the request. Most often the strangers hold hands or put their arms around each other's shoulders, but sometimes the interaction is more intimate, making the viewer surprised that the subjects have never met.

The flashback chapter of this volume is exciting but not as surprising as one would think.
DL isn't dead after the events of Kirby Plaza and together with Niki try to fix their lives. Bob visits Niki at the hospital (after it is revealed that he had paid for all the medical bills of DL) and offers to help Niki get rid of her multiple personality disorder. During those four months, Niki stops taking the medicine (offered by Bob and the Company) and suddenly a new personality arises in Niki. Her name is Gina and she used to be Niki's alias in California at a camp. Meanwhile DL is a fireman and saves lives everyday. When he finds Niki missing however and a note saying she is in California DL tracks her down. At a club Gina is still in control until she is given a picture of her family by DL and Niki regains control. A fight between DL and a man from the club ends up in the death of DL seen in chapter 3: Kindred of this volume.
Alejandro almost got married four months ago to a woman cheating him with her ex-boyfriend. At her brother's wedding Maya's ability manifests and kills everyone at the wedding (besides Alejandro) when she catches Alejandro's to be wife with that man (and that is the reason why both Maya and Alejandro are wanted by the police in chapter 1: four months later). Realizing the horror she had caused she runs away and leaves her brother behind. Three months later Maya is at a church in Venezuela (and appearantly a nun) when her brother finds her. With him Alejandro brought the police thinking that might be the only way for Maya not to kill again. At that moment Maya releases her power again but this time Alejandro counters it by making Maya relax (this is the first time Alejandro's ability manifested). Frightened both of them by what they can do they run away and that is how we end up with their chase in Honduras in chapter 1: four months later.
Finally, after Peter rescues his brother from the explosion (the explosion damaged Nathan's face and that explains the reflections Nathan has been having since the beginning of volume 2) and submits him to a hospital, he flees but is captured by Elle and Bob. Brought to the Company Peter is given a chance to keep his power under control (or don't have them at all more precisely) and keep him safe from the world. At a cell in the Company, we see Elle's everyday jolts given to Peter and Peter's meeting with Adam (whose at the cell next to his). Meanwhile, Nathan's wife Heidi visits her husband who tells her everything that happened in volume 1. Angela has a talk with Heidi and lies to her that Nathan is dillusional and she shouldn't believe anything; this explains the abandonment of Nathan by his wife and kids and the restraining order against his children. Peter's talks with Adam start to affect him when he realizes that the Company is not helping him but in fact keeping him imprisoned. A month before he ends up in Ireland, Peter stops taking the pills (that Elle provided him so that his powers wouldn't work) and together with Adam they escape from the Company. A week later Adam gives some of his blood which heals Nathan's wounds and his burns and together with Peter plan to leave USA and go to Canada. But the Haitian and Elle get in their way and when they split up, the Haitian follows Peter and locks him in the cargo container (we saw in chapter 1 Peter to be in, in Ireland) after he takes away his memory and gives him his helix necklace. Supposedly, the Haitian was supposed to capture him and return him to the Company but he reveals he has let him go because of Angela and the help she provided to him.
Overall quite revealing episode. From the three stories the most interesting is by far that of Peter, although Niki's story is not that bad. Maya's story on the other hand wasn't all that interesting although the reason why Maya and Alejandro were wanted for murder was very important to reveal. Key facts: notice Elle's life story telling to Peter. Her life is so sad and she is in fact a sociopath. More will be revealed in the next chapter which is full of Elle and Claire. Niki's third personality Gina appears in this chapter and is never mentioned again. Enjoy!

xipio 1.0.0
When reading the subdomain of an xip.io request, you will get a different value compared to a local pow request. The reason for this is that the tld length is 1 by default, but an xip.io request has a tld length of 6. This gem inserts a middleware that corrects the tld length config of rails on the fly so that you can use local and xip requests at the same time without restarting the server.

Unanswered: hardware and database move
We are moving off of our current AIX servers to new hardware. As such I need to migrate our databases to the new hardware. Some questions:
1. move db2 database from server A to server B keep same version
of database and OS with DB2 UDB 7.2+FP6 on AIX 5.2L both 32 bit
2. storage- the database is on raw volumes will keep existing storage
but new hardware server for internal drives
1. What is best way to move database over to new server?
2. Do I need to re-install DB2 UDB 7.2 and Fixpak server software
on the server?
3. Do I need to install fresh copies of DB2 UDB 7.2 binaries on the
new hardware ?
Here is the confusion:
Our Unix sysadmin told me he is relocating all of the filesystems and
volume groups to new storage and server hardware.
Any suggestions on best way to do this? Thanks!

What is surprising is how much those budgets have escalated in recent years and how much it costs to put together a two-car team capable of running at the sharp end of the 32 or 34-car grid.
These days, to be a real contender, a budget of about $12 million, perhaps more, is needed.
The cost of the actual cars, or at least their body shells, is one of the smaller items. The man hours required to strip the car out and rebuild it with lightweight materials and give it the required strength is considerable - but containable.
Where the bills multiply is in the costs for research and development, for testing and salaries - not just for drivers but for mechanics, race engineers, computer boffins and a host of other technical gurus whose input is considered vital to gain the edge that can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
In a sport where one-tenth of a second is a reasonably large gap, that edge can be priceless. And that is why the biggest beneficiaries are the drivers.
This year's title favourite, Craig Lowndes, is reportedly on a $1 million package with Ford team Betta Electrical, while several other top drivers are on $300,000 plus.

Loie and I have been to New Orleans twice. We've eaten at most of the old time places, and a few of the new ones. (It's been about five years since we were last there.) We are going again, with friends this time, in April 2010. I'd like to help our friends sample the most traditional New Orleans meals, from breakfast through the wee hours.
Note this question is not necessarily about the *best* eating, although certainly we want good eating. We can try all kinds of more modern, contemporary places if we like, and probably will. Just now, I'm asking specifically about the meals, dishes and atmosphere that are unique to, and characteristic of, old time traditional New Orleans. Of course I've been reading, both here and elsewhere, a lot. But I'd like any thoughts y'all might have about what's *currently* the best representation of classic New Orleans.
We'll be there Monday afternoon through Saturday afternoon, so will have plenty of opportunities. Will probably rent a house in the western edge of the Faubourge. Perhaps one day we'll try and drive out to see some plantations. Certainly walk around the Garden District, and go across to Algiers. Don't at all mind using public transportation. So, opportunities are rampant, right?
Thanks for any thoughts you might have!

who told u I could earn a million a year. no matter how much we can earn till the day we r retired. it will never be enough ....
@scott: yeah , i've heard many peope said the same thing abt immigration will happen in the future. but why mexicans? probably people from our neighbor contries. but maybe there will be a limitation policy for indians. cos there are too many indians aand Chinese all over the world now.
High schools and universities expanded admissions even though birthrates fell, so now there's a fuckload of middle class Chinese university graduates who feel that they're too good for the plentiful manufacturing jobs all over the country, but they still can't get a foot in the door to start professional or technical careers. That's how you get unemployment and labor shortages at the same time.
since this year, the number of new student is shrinking. many univ. could not get enough students, and it will keep happen in the following years.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Children's Resource Network Center, New Boston, MI, USA
I have recieved assistance from the CRNC food pantry. I was treated with respect and dignity in my unexpected time of need.
I retired early so that I could spend time with my wife before she passed away from cancer. The first few months after my retirement were finacially difficult and stressful but CRNC was there to help fill the gap for not only my wife and I but also for my daughter and her children too.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
knowing that I didn't need to worry about going hungry while I was unable to work. That gave me a chance to spend the last three months of my wife's life at her side day and night.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make sure that CNRC had enough funding to continue to help families in their time of need for as long as possible

Million-song MP3 players on way
A NEW generation of MP3 players could provide music lovers with millions of songs at their fingertips.
Scientists have developed a way of dramatically increasing the memory on iPods and other gadgets while retaining their small size.
Future devices could store 150,000 times the amount of models on the market now, according to researchers at Glasgow University.
They have created a tiny switch which would see 500,000 to one million gigabytes squeezed on to one square inch.
The current limit is around 3.3 gigabytes. The technology is being developed along with scientists at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in Warrington, England.
Dr Vin Dhanak of the laboratory said: "This research shows that the potential is there for your future iPod to have hundreds of thousands times more capacity to store music and video than currently possible."
The team now faces the challenge of resolving "fabrication issues'' surrounding the device.
The molecular switch is controlled by taking nanoparticles, each a millionth of a millimetre in size, and placing them on to a gold or carbon surface.
The research is reported in this month's edition of the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

My digestive system has given me problems in the past with gastric ulcer issues, and a duodenal ulcer issue. Guess what problems I don't have anymore? Yep, it's really pretty simple, I search for, and illuminate the painful areas, and they heal up. I'm not kidding, and that is why my efforts to inform the world are a little loud.

From pushing gun control to Obamacare, the National Football League promotes big government propaganda to its millions of obsessed fans while also making billions of dollars as a "non-profit" organization subsidized by taxpayers.
For one thing, the NFL is certainly conditioning the American people to give up their rights by subjecting them to excessive pat-downs, bag searches and security theater at every football game.
The league also attacks the individual's right to self-defense and even rejected a commercial last year which reminded Americans of that right.
The NFL didn't ban the ad last year to avoid politics. In fact, the league uses every opportunity it can to advocate gun control.
And the "non-profit," tax-exempt NFL pockets billions of dollars every year, all while forcing taxpayers to fund their massive stadiums and drink up big government propaganda.
If that didn't upset you enough, here's what the NFL's Commissioner, Roger Goodell, made over $44 million from the "non-profit" NFL a few years ago.
But at least the games are purely decided by talent and sheer luck, right? Right?? Nope.
Simply put, the NFL dumbs down the population and keeps them focused on sports instead of what truly matters in their lives.
As long as the population is distracted by the NFL, the government can expand without fear of massive resistance.

Amsterdam issue / November 2009 / Megacities, Accidental Terrorist, The Invention of Dr. Nakamats, Albert's Winter, Northern Lights.
PUBLISHED BY Danish Film InstituteEDITOR Susanna NeimannEDITORIAL TEAM Vicki Synnott, Annemarie HørsmanTRANSLATIONS Glen Garner
At this very moment, giant urban organisms are growing at unprecedented rates. Today 50 percent of the world's population lives in urban areas. By 2030 this figure is predicted to increase to 80 percent. Growth has far outpaced city planning. The challenges and solutions to the problems in four of the world's biggest cities — Bogotá, Cairo, Mumbai and Shanghai — are the focus of the film series Cities on Speed, a documentary project commissioned by the Danish Film Institute and the national broadcaster DR.
Bogotá Change, directed by Andreas Dalsgaard, is the unique and surprising story of two mayors, Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa, who have changed behaviour patterns in the Colombian capital, bringing Bogotá out of a negative spiral of violence and chaos and remaking it as something of a visionary role model for other megacities.
Humour is a powerful element in Mumbai Disconnected, directed by Camilla Nielsson and Frederik Jacobi. Mumbai is growing like it was on steroids. But a collapsing infrastructure is threatening to put an end to the booming economy, and is making the daily commute close to unbearable for Mumbai's 20 million citizens, where 13 people die every day on the railroads.
Cairo Garbage, directed by Mikala Krogh, takes us on a journey into Cairo's "garbage cities", entire neighbourhoods where people earn a living sorting and recycling garbage. Cairo shows us the culture and habit factors at play in this Middle Eastern city, where Italian contractors are hired to solve increasingly unmanageable waste-management tasks.
Shanghai Space, directed by Nanna Frank Møller, takes a poetic and contemplative look at the abnormal growth of China's great port city, where a new building is constructed every other day, and where the population increases by half a million people each year. A photographer, who has documented the city's changes over the decades, is now himself a victim of that development, while a professor of urban planning fantasizes about an underground city.
"The Accidental Terrorist", a documentary for young people, is a side-by-side look at two young men. They are the same age, from the same culture and religious background and they had the same opportunities. Why did one become a terrorist?
A profound interest in Japanese culture led the director Kaspar Astrup Schröder by coincidence to Dr. Nakamats, an eccentric inventor who by his own count holds more than 3400 patents and is planning a final coup: living to be 144. The portrait of Dr. Nakamats is told with tongue in cheek, and it is not always clear, who stages the story – the director or the inventor …
Albert's Winter, Anders Koefoed's graduation film from the National Film School of Denmark, tells the story of an eight-year-old boy who is goes through a tough time after his mother is diagnosed with cancer. Koefoed seeks to examine those times when life first knocks us off our feet, but also lets us grow.
In "Northern Lights", Kristoffer Kiørboe's graduation film from the National Film School of Denmark, two brothers go in search of the northern lights, each other and themselves. Samuel is brain damaged and Simon is caught in a struggle between helping his older brother or making a life for himself.
Miri has isolated herself in the real world, while generously sharing her thoughts and photos on her blog. "Book of Miri", Katrine Philp's graduation film from the National Film School of Denmark, looks at the need for self-staging.
For 20 days, the reporter Mads Brügger toured North Korea with two Danish-Korean comics and a TV crew. Officially, they were a theatrical troupe on cultural exchange. Unofficially, they were peeking behind the facade of a dictatorship. How that turned out can be seen in the film version of "The Red Chapel", screening in IDFA's Reflecting Images programme.
In every school class there are usually two or three kids who experience social isolation. Sidse Stausholm's "Invisible Girls" follows three girls struggling with the loneliness that comes with having no friends. The film is one of seven in a series of documentaries with the umbrella title "Coming of Age".
An apt choice, emblazoning the cover of this year's CPH:DOX festival programme with a statement by the anarchist Emma Goldman. In seven short years CPH:DOX has grown into Scandinavia's biggest documentary film festival exactly because the organisers have managed to take the festival to the streets while maintaining high artistic ambition and challenging the limits of what documentaries are and can do. This year there is a new and exciting addition to the DOX empire: DOX:LAB
People filmed in a room in an apartment in a house on a street in a city. The city, Copenhagen, is the subject of a unique film portrait by Max Kestner, one of Denmark's most outstanding young directors.
As a child, every time director Omar Shargawi asked his father about his life and his family's flight from Palestine in 1948, his father invariably closed up. After he became a filmmaker, Shargawi vowed to get his father to tell his story in a documentary. "My Father is from Haifa" turned out to be a therapeutic process that allowed the director to explore his own roots, too.
It's okay for a documentary to stage reality – any documentary will always be a personal interpretation of reality anyway, Birgitte Stærmose says. In "Out of Love", the first documentary by this award-winning fiction director, Kosovar-Albanian street kids in richly atmospheric locations recite monologues about their lives, memories and the challenges they face.
