Yes I Can
I was told, I will never succeed.
I was told, I will never make it.
I was told, school isn't for me.
But I always said YES I CAN
I was called UGLY.
I was called STUPID.
I was called RETARDED.
But I always said I STILL CAN
I was treated like a butterfly in harsh winds.
I was treated like a wolf with no pack.
I was treated like a boy with no friends.
But I always said YES I CAN I CAN MAKE IT
But I always said I STILL CAN BE FAMOUS
And till this day YES I CAN
Be an Incredible, Intellectual, Insightful, Inspirational, Intuitive, Person with Intensions to show Integrity
And face problems without letting people get the best of me.
And the reason I used words that begin with I:
Because (I) - (C)an - (A)void - (N)egativity

Kickoff Video
Words Unlocked 2016 Focus Poet and Reviewing Artist, Donté Clark, took some time to drop some knowledge about what poetry means to him and provide encouragement to the hundreds of young people in confinement around the country who will be participating in Words Unlocked. Check out the 2016 Kickoff Video below!

Romeo is Bleeding Documentary
A fatal turf war between neighborhoods haunts the city of Richmond, CA. Donté Clark transcends the violence in his hometown by writing poetry about his experiences. Using his voice to inspire those around him, he and the like-minded youth of the city mount an urban adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, with the hope of starting a real dialogue about violence in the city. Will Richmond force Donté to compromise his idealistic ambitions? Or will Donté end Richmond's cycle of trauma?
We are thrilled to announce that teachers participating in Words Unlocked 2016 will have access to the film, Romeo is Bleeding, for the month of April. This documentary stars Words Unlocked 2016 Focus Poet and Reviewing Artist, Donté Clark!

Poetry helps youth at a juvenile detention center find peace
Words Unlocked is BACK for 2016!
In the spirit of National Poetry Month (April), and in an effort to encourage literary exploration by young people held in locked juvenile facilities, we are proud to announce that we will be running our month-long poetry writing initiative and competition, Words Unlocked, again this year.
We are excited to welcome back our lead reviewing artist for Words Unlocked 2016, poet, novelist, and memoirist Jimmy Santiago Baca. This year's theme is Interconnectedness! Through Words Unlocked, we will encourage students to explore this theme and voice their truths about being mutually connected—to others, to communities, to systems, to the world.
Our Director of Practitioner Support, Christy Sampson-Kelly, a published poet herself, once again leads Words Unlocked. All materials for the initiative are available at our Words Unlocked website, which houses a robust set of tools available for public use: daily lesson plans and teacher-ready classroom materials. Please share the Words Unlocked website with anyone and everyone you know who might help get these materials to teachers working with incarcerated youth. We hope to have thousands of students participating starting on April 1.
Far too many young people are locked up around the country. Through this initiative, we continue to ensure that their words are not.
The Words Unlocked 2015 theme was transformation. Take some time to read what young people held in locked facilities had to say.
words unlocked evolve

Virgin Holidays
The weather in Britain had been awful, with many areas reporting the worse conditions in over a hundred years. We placed Virgin Holidays idents around ITV's weather forecasts, creating a direct comparison between the grey skies of Britain and the glorious sunshine that could be found abroad in places like Jamaica, America, Japan and Mexico.

The Square and Compass is the single most identifiable symbol of Freemasonry. Both the square and compass are architects tools and are used in Masonic rituals as emblems to teach symbolic lessons. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lessons in conduct: "The square, to square our actions; The compasses, to circumscribe and keep us within bounds with all mankind".[1] As measuring instruments, the tools represent judgment and discernment
In some jurisdictions the Square and Compasses are often depicted with the letter "G" in the center. The letter is interpreted to represent different words by jurisdiction. Among the most widely accepted interpretations are that: [G] stands for God or Great Architect of the Universe (a reference to God). In a different context it may stand for Geometry, described as being the "noblest of sciences", and "the basis upon which the superstructure of Freemasonry is erected."
The four million Masons worldwide continue to help men and women face the problems of the 21st century by building bridges of brotherhood and instilling in the hearts of men ideals for a better tomorrow.

|Faux fur jacket - H&M // Lace panel dress - New Look // Black heels - New Look
To celebrate the arrival of New Look's Party Ready collection they kindly sent me a goody bag full of accessories to style up one of my Christmas party outfits. My go-to outfit for nights out with my friends is always an LBD and faux fur jacket (or sometimes a faux leather jacket) but paired with the glittery lilac clutch bag and triangle necklace, it now has a far more festive feel - perfect for Christmas!
|Glitter clutch bag - New Look*
New Look also kindly sent me some of their make up to play with (I didn't even know they did makeup) and I must say it's lovely! The silvery grey eye shadow is perfect for creating a smokey eye (or in my case attempting to) and looks gorgeous paired with a nude lip. I also used the bronzer to give my skin a slight glow and applied the blusher over the apples of my cheeks to give them a little flush of colour.
|Triangle necklace - New Look* // Pure Colour Makeup - New Look*
I think makeup can definitely be used to transform the look of your 'going out' outfits just as much as accessories. Wearing simple winged eyeliner with a bold red lip one night and swapping it for a smokey eye and nude lip the next will give you an entirely different look.
If you want some more tips on how to dress to impress during the festive season, check out this Party Ready guide by New Look. They've included loads of tips on how to dress for the office party, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, giving you plenty of outfit inspiration!

The House and Senate will be voting on the debt deal reached last night between Obama and the Republicans.
Obama and his GOP enablers say they'll cut $2 trillion in federal govt spending over a span of TEN years. Yeah, right. If you believe that, I have a condo on Mars to sell you.
The real deal made is to increase the U.S. federal government's debt ceiling by another $2.2 trillion, which will "tide us over" until next year's election. All this at a time when our national debt is already $14.3 trillion and is projected to be $15 trillion by the end of this year, which will make our national debt more than 100% of America's GDP. This is the same debt to GDP ratio of the bankrupt European PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain). The only difference between the US and the PIIGS is that there'll be no one to bail us out.
More than ever, we need to be well-informed, have our wits, and not be bamboozled by Obama's and the Demonrats' scare-mongering. Investor's Business Daily has an excellent editorial, "Five Big Debt Debate Lies," July 29, 2o011. Here they are:
Lie No. 1
Aug. 2 is the drop-dead deadline
This has been the White House line for months, and it's so widely accepted that several news outlets have countdown clocks on their sites. It's not true. The New York Times on Tuesday reported that the government will have enough cash to pay all its bills until Aug. 10. And Wells Fargo Securities chief economist John Silvia says the debt ceiling won't be hit until sometime in September.
Lie No. 2
We risk defaulting on the debt
Despite countless warnings, there's zero chance the federal government will default, since each month the government takes in far more in taxes and fees than it pays in interest. The White House itself, while publicly clanging the default alarm, has been privately reassuring banks that it won't default on the debt, even if the debt ceiling isn't raised.
Lie No. 3
Social Security payments are at risk
"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on Aug. 3 if we haven't resolved this issue, because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Obama claimed earlier this month. Also a complete fabrication. In June, for example, the government took in more than $250 billion, according to Treasury's monthly report. That was enough to pay that month's worth of interest, plus all Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits, and all Defense and Homeland Security costs, with billions of dollars left over.
Lie No. 4
A long-term debt ceiling hike is a must
Democrats refuse to sign a short-term hike, claiming that poses a risk to the economy. "A short-term extension would not provide the certainty the markets are looking for," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid claimed. Obama has echoed that concern. But it's a phony connection. For example, Congress raised the debt ceiling 17 times during President Reagan's eight years in office — an average of once every 5 1/2 months — and the economy boomed.
Lie No. 5
Obama wants a deal
We can't prove this is a lie, but Obama's given every indication that it is. After all, he's done nothing to lead this to a resolution and plenty to disrupt it, all while claiming he wants an agreement. More likely, Obama thinks a debt crisis he can pin on Republicans is the path to victory in 2012.
There's no question that failing to raise the debt ceiling in a timely fashion would be economically disruptive, if for no other reason than that the economy is so anemic it can ill afford any shock. But it's also clear that, even if Congress misses the Tuesday deadline, the sun will still come up Aug. 3, and all these lies will be proven to be false.

Something I read earlier today has really stuck with me … like, REALLY stuck & it's this simple:
*This post contains affiliate links, for more info please click here:
It's a diagram from the first chapter in Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown.
I downloaded it onto my kindle literally this morning and OH MY DAYS … I think I have half the first chapter highlighted!
Lightbulbs are going on in my brain like fireworks! It's really talking to me – I am nodding like a Churchill dog skiing down a mogul field whilst reading!
So in my enthusiasm I was telling Ross over dinner about my lightbulb moments and he said I have something you should watch … He showed me a video of Simon Sinek and it was so true … this struck me:
I'm probably paraphrasing but you get the gist!
You see I started this blog to refind me and built and started writing some of my thoughts quite quickly. Then I started to google "blog tips" aarrrgghhh … big mistake! I have quickly found myself pulled in all directions; literally drowning myself in tips, videos, how to's, what not to do's … The problem is I have fully reverted to type and have suffered from a severe case of analysis paralysis!
From finding satisfaction, dare I say it, joy, in writing and publishing my first ramblings I have now spent a week feeling inadequate and that I need to watch a tonne more training before I can move forward. Going back to Greg's diagram – my energy has been pulled 1cm in 100 directions – meaning I have gone precisely nowhere … rather than going 100cm in one direction – in which case I would have moved forward!
So … Dear Self: a note to you:
Take your Essentialist Diagram from Greg and your insight from Simon [Thanks Guys!] and put your energy back into building this blog, finding your voice and your joy … for YOU.
I truly hope that through this little corner of the t'interweb I can connect with others on similar journeys, but for now I know I need to focus on MY why and MY well-being. If what I write resonates or helps anyone who stumbles here and has read this far … amazing…
Love Ali x

torsdag 8 augusti 2019 | Baltic Trade Show
Convene returns to Vilnius in 2020
Following yet another successful event this past February, the 8th edition of the Baltic Sea Regionãs leading trade show for the meeting and event industry is returning to Vilnius on 12-13 February 2020, and early-bird Exhibitor registration is now open. Organised annually by Go Vilnius, the cityãs official business and tourism development agency, Convene2020 promises to deliver the networking and B2B opportunities it has become known for over the years while introducing new features to bring even more added value to participants.
Reflecting on this yearãs show, Go Vilnius Director Inga Romanovskiená says, ãWe are proud that another edition of Convene was so well-received, with feedback from both Exhibitors and Buyers being largely positive, and are enthusiastic about the way our regionãs meeting and event industry is developing. Vilnius alone saw a 30% increase in international conferences last year valued at EUR 57 million, which is a very positive indicator for the entire region.ã
With partnerships between public and private sectors on the rise in the city, Go Vilnius has appointed Baltic Travel Group as the eventãs official PCO. ãHaving supported Convene since its very beginning, we are proud to take on this role and contribute to the regionãs premier B2B meeting industry event,ã says BTG CEO Vlad Koriagin. ãWe are going into 2020 with lots of ambition and plan to build on all the achievements of the last seven years while creating a productive and rewarding experience for visitors, Hosted Buyers and Exhibitors alike.ã
The previous edition of Convene attracted over 1,000 participants, including 165 Hosted Buyers from 30 countries and 80 regional suppliers, who took part in some 2,640 B2B meetings together. The show also featured 11 different education sessions, and half of all Buyers took part in post-event tours to experience one of several Baltic Sea Region destinations first hand.
Organised annually by the Go Vilnius, Convene is a business marketplace that provides non-stop networking opportunities for meeting professionals. The two-day exhibition gathers industry suppliers from across the Baltic Sea Region and buyers from around the world together under one roof to facilitate valuable professional connections, as well as the exchange of knowledge and best practices.

Should you allow customers into the service bays to observe technicians working or should you exclude them? I can think of good reasons to support either side of this argument. This is hardly a new issue in the automotive repair industry. To the contrary, it seems to be an ongoing, unsettled debate among tire dealers and service shop operators. For the moment, let me review sensible reasons—above and beyond potential insurance liability issues—for excluding "civilians" from the service bays altogether. In a perfect world, the service bays would look more like operating rooms than work areas for auto repair. There would be no debris or spillage anywhere; the floors would glisten as if they had just been mopped and polished. Meanwhile, technicians in the perfect world wear unsoiled lab coats. There would be no tools scattered around, nor any bundles of test leads in or around vehicles. Best of all, everyone in the perfect world would appear calm, collected and focused. There would not appear to be any wasted motion or any messy, noisy or risky-looking procedures taking place. But both medical and automotive professionals work in a real—meaning imperfect—world. Successful, real-world procedures in hospitals and service bays are designed to yield results. This means diagnosing problems and then fixing them as quickly and efficiently as possible. Typically, these accepted, effective procedures were not designed for anything but professional observation. Rightfully, they're really not intended for public inspection. Coincidentally, many routine med-ical procedures are the same as or similar to automotive techniques. For instance, doctors and surgeons cut, drill, grind, extract, bond, heat, chill and burn. They pinch off and bypass circuits, apply vacuum and pressure as needed. What's more, doctors use electrical equipment to start, stop and/or regulate various body functions. Indeed, some medical procedures fascinate a percentage of the populace. But I'd wager that a majority of common people would find these procedures scary, confusing and possibly disgusting. Simply put, watching diagnosis and repair of the human body wouldn't necessarily boost the trust or confidence of a non-medical observer. Like its medical counterpart, automotive repair and diagnosis may appear semi-chaotic, noisy, dirty and messy. For instance, de-carbonizing a neglected engine doesn't look or sound particularly appealing. Torching off rusted suspension or exhaust parts isn't especially attractive. The sound of a slide hammer or air chisel operating isn't likely to spur warm, fuzzy feelings in most motorists. And sometimes there's no "Martha Stewart-approved" technique for draining coolant from some vehicles. (The tech simply mops the floor before proceeding with the rest of the job.) There's an old saying in debate and politics that you're not gaining when you're always explaining. Suppose you allowed motorists to observe the work from a safe distance—some kind of fenced-off or roped-off viewing area, perhaps in a waiting room via video hookup. The challenge is that many automotive procedures we take for granted could raise needless questions and concerns among motorists. Therefore, service personnel may find themselves wasting time explaining and justifying normal procedures. Obviously, there's a limited amount of selling time available to service salespeople. Therefore, the time they might spend defending routine procedures could be devoted to selling needed services, follow-up sales calls, explaining features of certain tires, etc. Last but not least, many competent technicians don't perform their best when they feel that they're under a microscope or in a "fish bowl." To them, customer supervision equals needless prying eyes.

Wow, what a year! For me, the winter holiday season is a time of reflection…a time to review the year and say "wow, what just happened?"
Our year in review includes many items…some banal, some transcendant. Our heater broke, our window got tagged, and our roof leaked. We also replaced our mat, had some wonderful guest instructors, developed this amazing new website, and had an amazing first demonstration at the Seattle Center Winterfest.
Through it all, I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to you all, our community of aikido practitioners, that continue to come back and provide the energy that helps keep us all motivated on our paths of self-awareness and self-improvement.
So, thank you all for making our dojo a place or warmth and welcoming, a place of spiritual awakening, and a place where we can all study our own versions of martial peace.
Wishing you all a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!
Domo arigato gozaimashita!
– John Peng

My second test run with the Exeter Corporation Maudslay bus took me much further afield than the first one and provided some very useful experiences.
We're currently only using the autovac's gravity tank for fuel. This holds a couple of gallons of petrol which is sufficient for a short run such as this. We're not planning to use the main tank until the weekend due to the tendency of modern petrol to go stale if not used. So, with the autovac (whose real purpose is to suck petrol up from the main tank using vacuum created in the engine's intake manifold) topped up, we prepared to move the bus out of the shed. Unfortunately the removable trailer board, which contains auxilliary signalling lights and is fixed to the back of the bus for road runs, refused to work properly. This should have been rectified by the WHOTT electrician by Friday.
Climbing the steep track away from the farm, I tried a snatch change up to 2nd gear. It didn't go well. The 4-cylinder Maudslay engine, even when cold, takes even longer to spool down than a Gardner 6LW so I need to adapt my technique some more.
Out in the quiet lanes I went up and down the gearbox, refining my changes. As in most things, practice makes perfect but this bus is so unique that perfection will take some time to achieve! I drove the bus on a big circular route which included some stiff gradients, which meant changing down to lower gears both to climb and descend. Unusually for the era, the Maudslay ML3 has drum brakes on all four wheels (rather than just the rear wheels) but even so, braking on downhill gradients still has to be assisted by engine braking. Additional braking assistance is also available via the parking brake which on this bus takes the form of a transmission brake, rather than operating the rear drum brakes as is usually the case. It's really useful sometimes to supplement the footbrake with a partial application of the parking brake which is effectively a mechanical retarder.
Once or twice we started off with a bit of a lurch and some of my gearchanges were rather jerky. I'm still trying to improve my clutch technique! There were no mishaps and, apart from the troublesome auxilliary signalling lights I mentioned earlier, the bus performed as expected.
I am sure that the long journey on Friday, together with a warm-up drive through Exeter from our stabling point on Saturday, will give me enough practice to enable me to give the Lord Mayor and his entourage a reasonably smooth ride to the Guildhall. I'm also sure that they will make allowances. After all, dear old 'Maud' is 86 years old!
As I'm sure you'll appreciate, I'll be too busy to take many photographs on Saturday so, if you're in Exeter in the morning, be sure to have your camera or camcorder ready! We're due to leave the Coach Station in Paris Street soon after 10am, arriving at the Guildhall in High Street by 1030am via Western Way, South Street, Market Street and Fore Street. The bus will then be on static display outside the Russell & Bromley shoe shop in Bedford Street until late afternoon. After overnight storage, we'll be making the journey back to mid Devon on Sunday.
In other news, I took Southern Vectis 573 (Bristol FS6G YDL318) to Bruton and Shepton Mallet on Saturday for a wedding at Kilver Court Designer Village. In the photo you can just about see what remains of Charlton Viaduct, whose 27 spans used to carry the Somerset & Dorset Railway across the River Sheppey valley.
Finally and unusually, I have a mid-week private hire duty for Crosville this week as well. On Wednesday I'm taking a Bristol L down to Bishops Lydeard, the southern terminus of the West Somerset Railway, to provide a vintage bus link to Hestercombe Gardens.

Fluminense boss praises ex Gunner Wellington Silva
Fluminense manager Levir Culpi has talked up the recent performances of Wellington Silva, following the 23 year old's recent arrival from Arsenal. Wellington left Fluminense for Arsenal back in 2010, but after a series of loan spells, has rejoined his boyhood club having never played for the Gunners' first team.
He made a big impression on his debut, a 2-0 Copa do Brasil victory over Ypiranga, where his half-time introduction at 0-0 turned the game in Fluminense's favour. He then scored a wonderful chip against Ponte Preta in the Brasileirão on Saturday, earning the fulsome praise of his manager Levir Culpi.
"I am surprised to a certain point, because I did not know Wellington," said Levir. "It is interesting that some players just have that charisma. The supporters have bought into him very quickly. He represents them and he scored a golaços today, so it's all very good."
Wellington is from Rio de Janeiro and joined the club at the age of 16. He is almost certain to start in Flu's next league match at troubled Internacional on Sunday afternoon in the Brasileirão.

Real Salt Lake 3, Seattle Sounders FC 0 | 2019 MLS Match Recap
In their first match since Freddy Juarez took over as interim head coach, Real Salt Lake got goals from Sam Johnson, Albert Rusnak and Corey Baird to win 3-0 over Seattle Sounders FC at Rio Tinto Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The first half pivoted on two plays within a minute of each other just over midway through the half. First, the Sounders looked poised to score with Raul Ruidiaz bearing down on goal, but Justen Glad came through for RSL with a perfectly-timed slide tackle. Then, Aaron Herrera sprung Johnson into Seattle's final third. Johnson did the rest of the work, finishing by caroming his shot off Jordy Delem for his ninth goal of the year. Seattle, meanwhile, finished the half without a shot on goal and a 9-3 total shot disadvantage.
RSL doubled their lead in the 71st minute, working a ball along Seattle's 18, with Baird finding Damir Kreilach, who then passed up his chance for a shot, instead setting up Rusnak for his ninth goal of the year and a more comfortable margin. Then, nearing the end of regulation, Kreilach sprung Baird on a run resulting in an emphatic goal and an insurmountable lead.
Three Things
- THE BIG PICTURE: RSL leapfrogged Seattle to take hold of third place (for now) in the crowded West race, where it seems every result will matter for at least the top eight teams the rest of the way. RSL clearly passed their initial test in the transition out of the Mike Petke Era. Seattle, meanwhile, gets to follow their trip to Utah with a trip to SoCal to face the Galaxy on Saturday.
- MOMENT OF THE MATCH: The Rusnak goal, the result of unselfish play followed by a Designated Player owning the moment, tipped the match decisively in the host's favor.
- MAN OF THE MATCH: Kreilach wasn't able to score himself, but he provided two assists to place the match well out of reach, and did work on the defensive side as well.

CNN has found an apparent mistake in Hillary Clinton's new book's treatment of the Benghazi attacks and her department's handling of them. Clinton explains that members of Congress were surprised there were no Marines stationed at the diplomatic facility in Benghazi in September 2012. She then writes the following about the U.S. government's security across Libya:
So while there were Marines stationed at our embassy in Tripoli, where nearly all of our diplomats worked and which had the capability to process classified material, because there was no classified processing at the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, there were no Marines posted there.
Except in September 2012, there were no Marines stationed in Tripoli, either, according to the 2013 testimony of the top U.S. military officer in Africa, General Carter Ham before Congress.
A Clinton aide argued to CNN that the passage is just confusingly written, and her point was that there were Marine guards posted to the embassy in Tripoli after the attack, while there were none in Benghazi during the attack. This doesn't make much sense grammatically or logically — not least because Marines were only posted to Tripoli after the diplomatic compound in Benghazi was closed.
Why does this detail matter? For one, Clinton should be able to get the facts straight about a situation for which she accepted ultimate responsiblity.
But it also matters that there weren't Marines at the embassy in Tripoli, for at least two reasons: The U.S. security team that was protecting the embassy in Tripoli and occasionally dispensed security to Benghazi wasn't able to send most of its resources to Benghazi by plane on the night of the attacks — just two military personnel were sent — specifically because a number of them had to stay back to guard the Tripoli embassy.
More broadly, the low level of security that seems to be reflected by the lack of Marines in one of the world's most dangerous places was part of a deliberate policy choice. When Diane Sawyer asked Clinton recently whether there was anything State could have done to make the facilities more secure, Clinton said, "What I did was give very direct instructions [to] the people who have the expertise and experience in security. I'm not equipped to sit and look at blueprints, to determine where the blast walls need to be or where the reinforcements need to be."
But the U.S. vulnerability in Libya wasn't mostly due to the details, it was due to a deliberate policy choice to have a low-profile security presence in the country. The Clinton State Department, and by association the Obama White House, wanted to maintain a relatively low profile in Libya, avoiding a uniformed military presence as much as possible and relying on locally provided security instead. There are upsides to such a policy — a massive defensive military presence can make it harder for U.S. diplomats to win trust from local officials and the populace, etc. (Think of why Ambassador Chris Stevens liked to go for runs outside diplomatic compounds, giving his security detail some agita — he is said to have preferred a low-profile presence, though he did ask for more security, too.) But there are obvious risks to this approach, and Libya was a very bad place to take them. The Obama administration — the State Department in D.C. — seems like it may have been loath to account for these risks because it wanted to think that NATO had taken the side of pro-Western forces in overthrowing Qaddafi and could trust local militias to look out for Western interests. When threats and attacks before September 11, 2012, suggested otherwise (as intelligence clearly had long before we took the rebels' side), and when those in Libya were asking for more security because of the dangerous situation, the State Department in D.C. refused to address the situation.
We don't know quite what decisions Secretary Clinton made and how much the low-profile policy was her personal idea. But the highest security officials in her department, her top lieutenants, stuck by it, and it made a difference.
Or, at least, that was in part the conclusion of the Accountability Review Board the State Department convened to investigate the attacks. They recommend that the department should have minimum security standards for places like Benghazi and should never rely so much on host governments (let alone host militias). Secretary Clinton wasn't interviewed for the report, but you'd hope her book researchers at least read it. While I and most people haven't had a chance to see her book yet, the mistake here suggests she isn't honestly reckoning with what went wrong in Libya.

How is the shutdown impacting you?
I want to start out with a bit of house keeping type items. First off we are trying our recipe submissions again this month, even though we did not get any recipes submitted in December. For this month we went with the theme of casseroles and on page seven there is a tasty sounding meatball casserole recipe that was submitted by a reader through our Facebook page.
I also wanted to take the opportunity to remind everyone again that the time is approaching for our yearly Visitor's Guide. Which means we are accepting photos and activity ideas for consideration for publication in the annual guide. Please bring them by the office or submit them by emailing them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We have spent a lot of time at the newspaper office talking about the current government shutdown. Truthfully, it seems to come up as a topic of conversation pretty much everywhere one goes. Most people are very concerned and upset that it is still going on. I know that I personally am sick and tired of feeling like the American people are being held hostage while our government feuds in Washington. I have used the term "jr. high, bull poop" to describe it more then once. I truly hope that the legislation that Senator Risch and some of his colleagues are trying to push through the legislature passes this time (they've been at it since 2010) and these types of government shutdowns are no more.
However, that will not make the one we are currently facing go away and I am very curious how this is affecting our coverage area.
I have heard people say that this is not affecting them so they don't care. I am sorry, but that is just not true. 800,000 people out of work is making our economy take a hit and is affecting each and everyone of us. As MLK Jr. said in the quote on our front page "whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly" and I want to know how this is impacting your life. Please send you shutdown experience to me as a letter to the editor and maybe it will help change the mind of someone that thinks this doesn't matter to them or to small town Mountain Home Idaho.

About Oratorio di San Lorenzo
The Oratorio di San Lorenzo is located in the Kalsa district, next to the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi, with access from a garden of papyrus reeds and orange trees. The building was constructed around 1570 by the confraternity of San Francesco, initially to bury the deads of Kalsa neighbourhood. Giacomo Serpotta was called in to work on the stucco decorations from 1699 to 1706. The main nodes of the narrative thread of the decorations, made with marble dust, are the so-called 'teatrini', culminating on the counter-facade with the depiction of Martirio di San Lorenzo. Episodes are shown from the life of San Lorenzo (to whom the fifteenth-century church demolished was dedicated) and San Francesco d'Assisi, patron of the Compagnia dei Bardigli e Cordigeri. These tales are accompanied by a host of allegories, examples to be followed by the brothers of the confraternity: Humility, Glory, Welcome, Repentance, Perseverance, Mercy, Charity, Alms, Truth and Faith. In 1609 Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio painted an altarpiece for the Oratorio depicting the Natività con i santi Lorenzo e Francesco d'Assisi, which was stolen during the night between 17 and 18 October 1969, and has never been recovered.
Today the Oratorio is managed by the non-profit company Associazione Amici dei Musei Siciliani, which organizes guided visits.
Oratorio di San Lorenzo is part of the section City on Stage of The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence. From 15 to 24 June, the installation-performance, i'm happy to own my implicit biases (malo mrkva, malo batina), by Nora Turato took place at the Oratorio di San Lorenzo.

City Welcomes Boost in Housing Funds

City Welcomes Boost in Housing Funds
"he city of Walla Walla has received its largest contribution yet from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant program.
The allotment of $394,643 was granted and announced to the city in May but was heralded to communities Thursday in an announcement from the office of U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.
The funds are part of the annual allocation the city receives as an "entitlement community," said Walla Walla Community Development Block Grant Coordinator Jennifer Beckmeyer.
The program provides yearly grants through a formula for qualifying cities and counties to help develop housing, expand economic opportunities and provide suitable living for low- and moderate-income residents.
This year's budget was around $380,000, so the jump was a pleasant surprise, Beckmeyer said.
She said the city has a five-year plan for how to dedicate the funds. That plan is revisited each year with opportunities for public input..."

Microsoft reported results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 last night, with 11 percent growth in both sales and profits over the comparable period last year. $0.35 of net earnings per share and $10.8 billion in sales beat analyst expectations of $0.31 per share and $10.7 billion, respectively, and the per-share income saw a 20 percent boost over last year thanks to massive share buybacks.
That net result also beat the company's own projections from July, and revenues were at the top end of the official guidance. Microsoft also reorganized its corporate structure during the quarter, and now reports results from five segments rather than seven—Information Worker and Business Solutions became the new Business division, while Mobile and Embedded Devices joined forces with Home Entertainment under the Entertainment and Devices banner. Let's have a look at how the segments contributed to the quarter's success.
Step by step
The Client segment, home to the Windows product family and responsible for PC manufacturer relations, chugged along at 4.5 percent revenue growth and 2.6 percent higher operating income. That segment can afford to grow slowly, being the largest contributor to net income as it is with $2.6 billion. The upcoming Vista release should give the Client division a boost, but that's not happening in time for the crucial holiday season. PC makers like HP, Dell, and Lenovo are hoping to overcome upgrade reluctance by way of coupons for free Vista upgrades when you buy a new PC with XP in time for the jingle bells.
Moving on to Server and Tools, where server-class operating systems mingle with packages like SQL Server, Exchange Server, and Microsoft Consulting Services, sales shot up 17.5 percent year-over-year, and the income boost was even fatter at 36 percent, to $827 million. Management pointed to SQL Server as the main driver behind that success story.
The Online Services segment, formerly known as MSN and all its associated properties, saw a revenue decline from $564 million to $539 million. Last year, the segment made a small profit, $68 million, but it sunk into red ink this time to the tune of $136 million. Despite the negative mojo, the company believes its recently-launched adCenter search advertising platform will generate some revenue growth and actual profits for the full year, starting in the current quarter. Still, Microsoft's online business isn't much competition for Google or even Yahoo, which is why rumors continue to bounce around concerning a possible Yahoo buyout. But both companies remain mum on that subject.
Business, with Microsoft's small business consulting services, the Dynamics product line, and (oh yeah) MS Office under its wing, didn't move far from last year. A 4.3 percent sales boost kept the segment the largest revenue generator at $3.4 billion, but consulting carries lower margins than straight software sales and operating income ranked second to the Client business at $2.3 billion, essentially flat from last year. Office 2007 is also due out after the holiday shopping season, although productivity software tends to be less seasonally sensitive than operating systems. That delay should have a lesser impact on full-year results than that of Vista.
Finally, the Entertainment and Devices division reported a 70 percent sales gain with net losses nearly cut in half, from $173 million last year to $96 million now. The sales boost came from Xbox 360 sales, of course. 6 million consoles have been sold so far, and Microsoft expects to sell 13 million to 15 million by the end of June 2007. The Xbox Live service numbers 4 million subscribers today, but that population isn't expected to grow as fast as console sales, with only 6 million subscribers projected for the summer. Windows licenses for mobile phones more than tripled over last year.
Closing points
In the bigger picture, Microsoft looks very healthy, and if Vista and Office 2007 get anywhere near expectations, fiscal 2007 should be a very exciting year for consumers and investors alike. If there is one blemish in the report, it's the massive inventory buildup of $2.5 billion compared to $726 million last year, but management says that it's all Xbox 360 material that should "wash itself out of the system" over the holidays.

Winter Whites
I have to admit, the past few weeks I may have enjoyed playing with yarn and my camera a wee bit more than I've enjoyed playing with yarn and my needles. There was just something about the simple beauty of the soft white yarn on the soft white snow. I'm usually one to favor bright and intense colors, lots of them, especially if stripes are involved, but the clean and crisp, it captivated me.
What has captivated you recently? I hope there is something. I always seem to be energized by being captivated by something new, something special, something wonderful, filling me with wonder... There must be something...
Whatever it is, I hope it makes you smile inside and out!
Happy knitting-

VLC media player is full of tricks, you can convert, resize and cut video with it and you can play video of any format using this player.
Now in this article i am going to provide you another cool VLC media player trick that you can show to your friends and can have lots of fun (change these settings on your friends computer and tell them that their video card is damaged )
At the end of this article you will be aware of how to convert any video to it's ASCII version, this trick is just as cool as the ASCII version of star wars in command prompt, the only difference is that the output of former will be colored.
Lets convert videos in ASCII form using VLC media player:
- Open VLC media player
- Press ctrl + P to open preferences (or go to tools then select preferences at the end of drop down list)
- Now click on "video" in the left panel
- Then under "videos settings", in "output" section open drop down menu by simply clicking on it.
- Now select "color ASCII art video output", now click save – to save the settings
- Close VLC media player. Now open it again and play any video, the output video will be in ASCII form
Now this might not work well in older version of VLC media player, you can download its new version from their official website
If you want to play video normally, then again go to preferences and in output section under video settings choose "automatic" – video will now plays normally as before.
Now can you tell me what exactly which video i have converted (in first image)? The clue is – its a popular, funny English song, and was released on 16 September 2011.

Power Elite was a scientific government organisation founded by Liz Shaw. It stressed science and rationality. It was responsible for the SunTrap.
When the Third Doctor opposed some of Power Elite's actions, Liz had him cryogenically suspended but continued to use the knowledge from his brain.
Some of the former members of UNIT, including John Benton and Mike Yates, opposed Power Elite and engaged in terrorist attacks against it.
The Time Lords sent another version of the Third Doctor to revert this timeline; when he did so, the Liz from his timeline agreed to not use her knowledge to create Power Elite. (PROSE: Prisoners of the Sun)

Not all electrolytes are the same!
The electrolytes contained in VERWAY repower! come from sea salt and fruit juice concentrates. They quickly compensate for welding losses.
Magnesium acts as a regulator of electrolyte equilibrium. With the aid of the ATP-Mg complex, potassium can be absorbed by the cell in the course of water structuring and sodium can be discharged.
This restores the intracellular environment and the "cell battery"; recharges. Sea salt with its broad spectrum of trace elements ideally represents the composition of blood electrolytes.
