As part of Healthy Families America, a national initiative serving more than 430 communities across the nation, Healthy Families Baltimore County works with new mothers to develop supportive, enriching parenting practices that help their children and families grow to realize their fullest potential.
Abilities Network has established the Healthy Families program, to serve families in Baltimore County, Md.
The goal of Healthy Families Baltimore County is to help parents create supportive environments for their babies and families. The program helps to ensure that:
Babies are born healthy - Parents who participate in the program learn how to improve their chances of giving birth to a healthy baby.
Children grow up healthy - Families who participate gain access to information on immunization, safety practices and substance abuse prevention.
Children enter school ready to learn - The program helps parents teach their children basic skills that will help them succeed in school.
Families live in safe and stable homes - We work with families to find good housing, educational and employment opportunities. We also work to decrease the incidences of child abuse and neglect, domestic violence and juvenile crime.
Children and families live in supportive communities.
Healthy Families Baltimore County is primarily funded through grants from Baltimore County's Local Management Board and other donors.
If you are a new parent or are expecting a child, we can provide support and resources to you and your family. We are able to start providing support before the baby is born or within two weeks after birth. Once services begin, they can continue until your child is five years old.
We are able to provide information about resources in your community that will help you meet the basic needs of your family. We know that new moms and dads want the best for their children and we are able to share information about child development as well as activities that will assist you with meeting their needs. In addition, we can work with you to identify what you want to accomplish for your family and support you in reaching those goals. Last, but not least, we create opportunities for you to get together with other parents.
This depends on what you need. Some examples of areas we have helped families with include:
Choosing a pediatrician
Finding childcare
Locating housing options
Improving relationships
Stress management
Locating employment
Continuing education
We know that getting to meetings can sometimes be hard, so a team member will come and meet with you at your home. Family groups usually take place in the local community or at our office in Towson.
Not at all! We strongly encourage dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents or any other person who will spend a lot of time with the baby to be a part of our visits

The production, however, is a lesson in how to abort such rich potential. When Nottage writes such crummy lines as "We never breathe to look inward," it's hard to get too absorbed in the couple's story. Walter Coppage and Cecilia Belser Aderonke, who play David and Sarah Bradley, compound the problem by seeming to carry their characters in a gift bag too pretty to touch; they're false where they need to be true and never transcend Nottage's contrivances.
Sarah is an investment banker and David a lauded music journalist. They're rich and in love, and their disposable income allows them to supply dinner parties with humorous tales of flagrant island hopping. When they decide that Africa is calling, in sharp contrast to how most prissy travelers plan everything down to making sure they have their broker's phone number, they take off in leisure wear without a real plan. Torrential rains force them into a hotel in a remote, unstable region that is, according to the program, "perhaps Mozambique, perhaps not." Perhaps the playwright should nail it down if the play is going to be anything other than a sitcom laced with blood.
The hotel is eerily deserted (and impressively designed by Atif Rome) except for a white man in khaki, Mr. Blake (Michael Linsley Rapport), and a black hotel employee, Joaquim (Stephen Moore), who serves as valet, concierge and bartender. A Godot-like proprietor whom everyone expects to arrive any minute never appears, while the Bradleys join Blake for martinis. And with each drink his guests consume, Joaquim seems to grow more irritated with some vague unrest among his unseen countrymen.
The rains continue, forcing into the equation two more shelter seekers: Ama Cyllah (Lisa Louise Langford), a Nigerian aid worker, and Neibert (Brian Paulette), a white guy of Belgian extraction who is dressed in tribal regalia. Their relationship is never explained -- they just happen to show up as symbols onto which Nottage has pinned some more thoughts. All the pieces are now in play for Joaquim to take them hostage.
The play is said to be based on a real incident in which United Nations workers were apprehended and held to some demands that were sad in their simplicity: a few blankets and some grain. Joaquim's demands are less grand -- he wants grain as well but only one blanket, for his mother. He swings around a gun for much of the rest of the play, alternately ignoring his hostages or forcing them to do humiliating deep knee bends. (Sarah Bradley's biggest concern is what the incident is doing to her expensive shoes.) When a mediator (Jennifer Aguilar) arrives by helicopter, the playwright asks us to believe that the world's attention is riveted on this minicrisis involving a couple of locals, a kooky Belgian and two jaded tourists. It is almost perversely fascinating -- without being particularly entertaining -- to watch issues of race and patronage become trite.
Near the end there's a scene where Nottage and director Jones get inspired. Joaquim's rage at his captives is waning and, in a moment of repose, his weary mind causes his body to perform a native dance. He's joined by all of the black characters, and the combination of sound (Glen Dunzweiler) and lighting (Jeffrey Cady) produces a brief moment of poetry. There's not a word of dialogue, but it's the only moment in the play that provokes the feelings Nottage struggles throughout to invent.
Coppage and Belser Aderonke have been up to many challenges in prior performances, which makes their phony acting here all the more curious. Jones deserves part of the blame for allowing them to preen and pose while other actors find the hearts in their sketchily written characters. Rapport and Langford fare better than the others; he's unctuous and arrogant and she's loose and funny, and they're both infinitely more watchable than the leads.
Nottage's quest apparently was to remind audiences, through the eyes of her pampered African-American visitors, that the continent is more complex than any two-week vacation can hope to uncover. But the ideas she wants to communicate are only whispered; the play becomes an exercise in connect-the-dots, but she doesn't ever produce a bigger picture.

Meeting with the developer of proposed Dunkin Donuts postponed
(Patrick D. Rosso/Boston.com/2011)
The Pilot Block Neighborhood Association has announced that their meeting with the developer of the proposed Dunkin Donuts at 655 Tremont St. will be postponed.
According to an e-mail distributed by the group Tuesday night, the developer, Clayton Turnbull, has asked the neighborhood association and the Zoning Board of Appeals to push back his hearings to a later date.
"I have been informed by the restaurant designers that their materials will not be ready until the middle of December. Therefore, I have requested the ZBA date, as I have stated to you, be moved to January 10, 2012, Turnbull said in e-mail distributed by the PBNA.
The neighborhood association has tentatively scheduled another meeting with Turnbull for Dec. 15 at the South End Branch Library.
The group, however, still is holding a meeting, Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., at the South End Branch Library, for residents to discuss the project.
No formal vote will be taken at the meeting.
Residents first heard of the new store at the beginning of October and some residents have come out in strong opposition to its construction, citing the increase in concentration of restaurants in the neighborhood, the potential drop in property value of abutters and trash concerns.
If the business opens at 655 Tremont St., it would be the neighborhood's fifth Dunkin Donuts franchise and Turnbulls ninth in the city of Boston.
The space is currently zoned for commercial use but not for food service and Turnbull will need a variance from the city of Boston to operate there.
Turnbull hearing before the Citys Zoning Board of Appeals has been rescheduled for Jan. 10.

text: Tamzin Outhwaite - The spirit of my nan is still with me...she helped me get the role on EastEnders; EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite, recently voted the Sexiest Female in Soaps, talks to Thomas Quinn about the loss of her beloved grandmother, how she discovered true love and why she actually quite fancies Ian Beale.She's been in EastEnders just a matter of months, and already Tamzin Outhwaite Tamzin Outhwaite (born on November 5, 1970) is an English actress best known for playing Melanie Owen in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. Early career Outhwaite attended the Stagestruck Theatre Company as a teenager. has scooped a prestigious award. Yet as she stepped up to receive the Sexiest Female gong gong, percussion instrument consisting of a disk, usually with upturned edges, 3 ft (91 cm) or more in diameter in the modern orchestra, often made of bronze, and struck with a felt- or leather-covered mallet or drumstick. at last month's National Soap Awards, her amazing a·maze v. a·mazed, a·maz·ing, a·maz·es v.tr. 1.

Instead, her thoughts were divided between worry at what her boyfriend Marty would make of all this fuss, and regret that her beloved grandmother was not there to share her triumph. The unlikely romance between Tamzin's character Melanie Healey and Albert Square's wheeler-dealer Ian Beale Ian Albert Beale is a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He is played by Adam Woodyatt and is the only remaining member of the original cast that appeared from the first episode on 19 February 1985 to the present without a break. has gripped the nation's imagination and helped make Tamzin the toast of the soap world. But she doesn't believe she made it without a little help from someone very dear to her, her late grandmother Elsie. "I feel she is with me. I feel she had something to do with the EastEnders thing," insists Tamzin, 28. "And something to do with me meeting a beautiful man as well." Elsie Outhwaite was 77 when she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer lung cancer, cancer that originates in the tissues of the lungs. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States in both men and women. Like other cancers, lung cancer occurs after repeated insults to the genetic material of the cell. . And Tamzin was on holiday in the Maldives when doctors first told her family that Elsie, who insisted on being called Nan because Gran made her feel old, may die. Tamzin had just finished a run in the musical Summer Holiday, in Blackpool, and was going to take a few months off before joining the cast of Alan Ayckbourn's own production of Absent Friends in Scarborough. This break between jobs enabled her to spend all her time with her gran, and she was at her side right up until she died. "Nan was nothing but goodness," says Tamzin. "I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She was strong and independent and very funny. She was the kind of person who, when we were at a family gathering and someone was trying to say something, would be in a corner making silly faces, gurning almost." Elsie's illness, from which she eventually died three years ago, was a major turning point for Tamzin. Though the experience drew her family - her dad Colin, 52, mum Anna, 48, and brothers Kes, 26, and Jake, 19 - closer together than ever before, Tamzin had lost her closest friend. "Nan was a soulmate soulmate n → compañero/a del alma . When I was a kid growing up I spent almost every weekend with her," she recalls. "She was a real East Ender. She lived in Victoria Park in Hackney Hackney, inner borough (1991 pop. 164,200) of Greater London, SE England, on the Lea River. Clothing manufacture (in Hackney) and printing and furniture making (in Shoreditch) are the borough's chief industries. London's first theater was built in Shoreditch (c.1575). , where I spent a lot of time with her. "My brothers and I are the only grandchildren GRANDCHILDREN, domestic relations.

"Her husband had died years ago and she was never with another man. But she was a very strong woman." Tamzin can clearly remember the weeks leading up to Elsie's death, and counts it as the most important period in her own life so far. "It was between January and April when she was really ill and then died. I spent an awful lot of time with her," she says. "The last couple of weeks the whole family were looking after her all the time, literally doing all those things that nurses do. "It's not a nice way to remember her in those last weeks, but she spent all of that time calling my name. When a nurse came to change her bed - she stayed at home, she didn't want to go into hospital - she would call her by my name. She'd call, 'Tam, Tam'. "It was apparent that I was in her thoughts all that time. And when she died I kind of felt she was still with me." The experience taught Tamzin not to be scared of death and to live life to the full. "My Nan and I never really spoke about her dying, which is quite sad," she says. "The last couple of days she said, "What's it going to be like? What's going to happen?' I said, 'Nan, it's going to be fine, it's going to be beautiful. It's going to be better than this'. I was trying to reason with her but I don't think she really realised. She had such a terrible fear of dying and actually to speak about it was a no, no. "The last couple of nights I had a bed made up next to her - just so she knew I was there near her all the time. "It was almost like she knew I was going to Scarborough, that she had that much time between January when I was unemployed and April when I started working again. "It also brought me and my father much closer together - Nan was our link. At the end, we had Macmillan nurses helping us and, as a result of the amazing care they gave her, my brother Kes is trekking across Alaska this summer to raise money for them. "I told them we wanted to be there when she died, so when her breathing changed they woke my dad and I up in the middle of the night. We sat up with her.

It was beautiful and afterwards we just held each other and said, 'Thank God it's over'. She was no longer in pain, it was a relief. "I don't want to fear death - you never properly live because you are always fearing your death. "I carried around an awful lot of calm afterwards. As a kid, my Nan dying was my biggest nightmare, even though it was always inevitable. It's funny, I feel almost stronger now. I feel stronger than my Nan because she was always the one who looked after me - then I looked after her." That strength of character has helped Tamzin cope with being suddenly thrust into the spotlight in EastEnders. While it's hard to reconcile the idea of a beauty such as Melanie in the arms of Ian Beale - let's face it, he's hardly in the same league as Brad Pitt - she is quick to shout down any such criticism.

When he is being all hot-headed hot-headed Adjective impetuous, rash, or hot-tempered hot-headedness n hot-headed adjective volatile and gets above himself then I personally don't like Ian. But when he is being vulnerable I can see the attraction." She might be alone in thinking it. For most soap fans, the pairing of Mel with the oily chip shop owner has created the most unbelievable soap couple since Ian took up with Cindy...well, anybody really. "People talk to me about it all the time," she laughs. "I have taxi drivers taxi driver n → taxista m/f taxi driver taxi n → chauffeur m de taxi taxi driver taxi n → telling me I could do much better than Ian.

He's not Dirty Den, he's not evil, he's just irritating," agrees Tamzin. "Adam has mastered that character and now knows just how to be really irritating. It's an art form. But he is such a nice person to work with, so I can't feel upset that Mel's with Ian. Adam is one of the nicest, most ego-free actors I've ever worked with." While the odds are against her doing the dirty on Ian, as sinful Cindy did - Mel is after all the vicar's sister and mild-mannered waiter Jeff's daughter - how their romance will progress is anyone's guess. "You never know," shrugs Tamzin. "There is definitely a side to her that hasn't come out yet. Something wilder. I don't think it will be malicious, but she'll probably hurt him." Her dad, who runs an Essex-based mobile video rental company and her financial adviser mum have always encouraged Tamzin's acting ambitions. After leaving drama school, she worked on the London stage, performing in Grease and Oliver!. Her TV credits were scant - a glimpse in The Bill and a blink-or-you'll-miss-it role in Men Behaving Badly Men Behaving Badly is a British comedy, which first broadcast in 1992 on the ITV network, however moved to BBC One (and a later timeslot) from the third series onwards.

"He made me realise that I could make the move from musicals to straight acting, and encouraged me to do so. It gave me so much confidence.

Talking for the first time of her love for director Marty, Tamzin reveals she was nervous about telling him of her award. "Marty was in America," she says. "At the party people kept saying, 'What's your fella going to say?' I thought, 'At least he can now say that he is going out with the sexiest woman in soaps'. He got back the next day. We were at the airport and he hadn't seen a newspaper - and I'm just bursting to tell him but I'm thinking I've got to wait and let him tell me about his trip. In the end I held out just three and half minutes. "I told him, 'I've won, I've won'. He said, 'What have you won?' I said, 'The Sexiest Female in a Soap, whatever that is'." Laughing now, she recalls how ridiculous the title suddenly seemed to her at the time. "I was pleased that people had sat up and thought there is a new character in a soap - as far as the sexiest goes that's flattering. But I suddenly got the idea that he wasn't going to be that impressed," she says. Mel may be in two minds about Ian, but Tamzin is sure she has found love with Marty. A friend introduced them a year ago after the relationship he was in had just ended. "I gave him four weeks to get over her and then called him," she says. "It was about eight in the morning. I suggested we meet up for a drink and he suggested that night. So we went to see a film I had tickets for. We only stayed about ten minutes. We went and got drunk together instead. It was lovely."

The federal constitution, hereinafter FC, is a Janus-faced political compact with the ramifications of an adhesion contract since the time of its birth till today.
Some basic rights for the people are mentioned, but the major provisions in it are written to justify the existence of the three organs of state in the Lockean mindset with a Benthamite twist.
The record shows that no Malayan participated in the Reid Commission which was set up at the behest of the British Empire with five jurists from India, Pakistan, England and Australia charged with the task of crafting, drafting and producing a written supreme law for Malaya.
England, it seems, never had a written constitution. But it wanted one for Malaya. Mind you, the British had not even solved their own Irish problems, but they were trying to manage the Malayan affairs of state.
While reading law, we were taught that England has no written constitution, per se. Most of us did not argue as we concentrated in wanting to pass examinations.
But the Magna Carta of 1215 was a written contract between the King of England and his subjects. Our law textbooks made no mention of it.
I remember fielding the question, but I was told politely that we had to get on with the tutorial, and that there was another time and place for that question. I have never quit asking and answering that question all these years.
In America today, for example, the US constitution, is seldom invoked except when it suits a political master. One sitting US Supreme Court judge constantly reminds the lawyers who argue before the high court that the US Constitution is not a "parchment guarantee". He is in the minority.
A written constitution is a concrete document aimed at assuring the citizenry that there is a guaranteed irrevocable standard. It is not just a parchment guarantee.
In Malaysia, the constitution is what the attorney-general, or the presiding judge of a case, says it is provided it has been cleared by the Putrajaya puppeteers. In all fairness to my brethren at the Bench, there have been some exceptional judges in Malaysia.
There are still some actively serving the Bench who hold the reins of the FC with a sure grip quite unfazed by the Putrajaya punters.
Maybe the time has come for the Malaysian law fraternity to brief and argue cases not only based solely upon the facts of the instant case, the applicable statute, and the decisions of past judgments (the doctrine of stare decisis), but with the fortitude, certainty, consistency, clarity, and power of the FC, together with the applicable principles and philosophy of law, maxims, doctrines, and other principles of jurisprudence.
A totally holistic jurisprudential argument, oral and written, will make the judges aware that the law is a changing growth and not a formless code.
It will beget a superior Bar and an equally superior Bench. The Malaysian judiciary must start believing that it is a co-equal branch of government in a Westminster system of shared powers between itself, the legislature and the executive under the provisions of the FC.
The 'Kempen PerlembagaanKu' was launched by the Bar Council's Constitutional Law Committee in 2009 to spread an awareness of what the FC means and what it is all about.
The aftermath of GE12 in 2008 may have inspired this campaign, nevertheless, the citizenry has a right to know what their constitution, as the supreme law of the land, assures and guarantees them free from an overreaching and unlimited government.
I believe the Bar Council had a serious plan to show and tell the people of Malaysia how the government of Malaysia is violating their rights on a daily basis. Maybe the courageous laudable lady of lasting legible law, Ambiga Sreenivasan, was the midwife when this baby was born.
There are some erudite epigones in Malaysia who believe that the FC is in theory the supreme law of the land. That is an appalling view to adopt. They probably believe it is not a pragmatic document. Maybe they feel there is no need to offend their sensitive political masters.
According to Article 4, the FC is the supreme law of Malaysia. Interestingly, Article 4(1) stipulates that "any law passed after Merdeka Day which is inconsistent with this constitution shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void."
I call this the Inconsistency Clause. Keep in mind that no Malayan was involved when the FC was undergoing its very own peculiar birth pangs and pain.
It is obvious and evident that the Reid Commission's five jurists did not address the occasion when a pre-Merdeka law may be repealed, or amended, by a future legislature to the sway and swing of political winds generated by a powerful executive.
Our judges should gravitate toward this constitutional solution to any politically motivated constitutional amendment, and declare that act of Parliament as a violation of Article 4(4).
Why have a written supreme law with a supreme legislature threatening a head-on collision with its own power to make or unmake any law? But the Inconsistency Clause of Article 4 (1) is supposed to shackle a supreme legislature.
Interestingly Article 4(4) gives a Federal Court judge the power of judicial review in tandem with Article 162(6). But do our judges use this authority, if not their right, to exercise a judicial power vested in them by an implied reading of Article 121? That judicial power was the sine qua non of the Malaysian judiciary prior to the 1988 judicial juggling and jousting when the judges' jugulars were exposed and threatened.
Our FC stands in mute testimony to the vagaries and uncertainties of parliamentary enactments, coupled with a good measure of mockery by the political masters. Instead of being revered, respected, and regarded as the supreme law of the land, the FC is generally unused, or wantonly abused, if not recklessly misused depending on who is standing in the dock.
Constitutional amendments over the years since Merdeka have not etched any advantage or benefit for the rakyat although it has fattened the hopes and aspirations of the occupants of Putrajaya.
I can only hope that the Agong takes the FC's Article 39 seriously as the safe haven and abode of executive authority because the prime minister, in whom all unconstitutional executive powers are vested, stands on shaky ground under Article 43(4) if he is unable to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the Dewan Rakyat.
Perhaps GE13 will change all that.

NBA Usher and Little Kid Escalate Epic Dance Battle on 'Kimmel'
The NBA usher and 11-year-old boy whose dance moves won the Internet last week are back and just as awesome as ever.
The NBA usher and 11-year-old boy whose dance moves won the Internet last week are back and just as awesome as ever.
Kobe Bryant and Lionel Messi are back, seeing if they can recreate viral advertising magic for Turkish Airlines.
During an NBA game on Friday night, Gerald Henderson of the lowly Charlotte Bobcats botched a cross-court pass, sailing it over a teammate and out of bounds. Meanwhile, a female fan walked along the sideline in front of the first row of seats. Ball met fan, smacking her right in the head, and the fan toppled over. The unlikely episode flooded sports fans' social feeds on Friday night after being recorded by a Vine user.
Kobe Bryant plays some major defense on Twitter after criticism of his $48 million contract extension with the Lakers.
If you missed the weekend's most endearing sports highlight, that's probably because it had nothing to do with slam dunks, touchdowns, tackles or swats.
The epic dance moves, lip-synching madness and air guitar of a sports fan have catapulted "Livin' on a Prayer" back onto the Billboard Hot 100.
New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire did his best real-life impression of a classic video game glitch during a game on Tuesday night.
Some car companies use test drivers and special instruments to measure the precision of its vehicles. Volvo uses Jean-Claude Van Damme's legs. This week's Viral Video Recap features a Volvo ad that shows off the automaker's steering stability as Van Damme balances in a full split between two reversing trucks. See also: Viral Video Recap: Astronauts Tackle Life on Earth and More The real, live test has the action star and martial artist slowly lower into the split as the sun sets on the horizon.
"There's a way to threaten somebody and that's not the way, to publicly threaten somebody," says NBA star J.R. Smith after his latest social media misstep.
The post read: "I love my teammates like family, but I'm DONE standing up for these n*****! All this s*** does is cost me money.."
We weren't sure the NBA would be able to top its enormously successful 2012 holiday spot, featuring some of its biggest players performing "Carol of the Bells" using only bouncing basketballs. But this year, the league has taken its holiday spirit to the next level with its latest ad: a performance of "Jingle Bells," featuring a slew of NBA stars and five hoops affixed with sleigh bells. The video stars James Harden (Houston Rockets), Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder), Steve Nash (L.A.
Social media users recently documented 50-year-old Michael Jordan playing beer pong. But here's the scandal: He appears to have been cheating.
Remember when cousin Terio was just some sweet random kid dancing on Vine? Things done changed.
Watch this creative NBA spot, ponder its existential questions, but rest assured--it's legit.
The NBA season just started on Tuesday night, but Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh's photobomb game is already in mid-season form.

Re: Premium Suite Update
No, there has been no word from either Samsung or the carriers about a U.S. release. And it's really up to the carriers, not Samsung.
There's lots of speculation, though, if you read through the forums.BROKE MY WRIST AND TYPING ONE-HANDED! Please forgive all typos.
PLEASE, when asking for help provide as much information as possible. Otherwise, it's like calling your doctor and saying "My head hurts." Your doctor can't treat you unless he knows whether you have a headache or a concussion, and we can't help unless we know what the symptoms are and what you did before they occurred.
Give a person an answer, and you've solved one problem. Teach a person to search, and you have helped them solve problems forever.

"Please give First Rate Financial a call as you move forward with your home purchase. They may be able to help you find a good property and can definitely help you with financing.
First Rate helped us through a very complicated re-financing. Thanks."
– John Thompson
"Chad Lemons at First Rate Financial helped us refinance our house. The experience was fantastic. Every expectation was exceeded and everything he said would happen, did happen. We got a great rate with no hassle, and the process was much faster than we thought possible."
– Tom Ziglar
"Chad Lemons was a true blessing when he helped me refinance my mortgage. He was tireless, and even when it didn't look like the loan would go through, he worked his miracles and not only got my loan approved in a timely manor but saved me several hundred dollars on my mortgage payment. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is trustworthy, efficient and yes, even brilliant at tying up the loose ends to make a deal happen. In short, Chad Lemons is the man for the job!"
– Cindy Oates
"Chad, just a brief note to let you know how much Martha and I appreciate all the hard work you went through to enable us to refinance our home. We will certainly recommend you to our friends who are thinking about refinancing.
When we sell, you will be the one we will call."
– Nelson and Martha Hensley
"Building a new home presented several challenges, but Chad Lemons at First Rate Financial made the financing aspect of it a cinch. Circumstances caused our loan scenario and needs to change after the pre-qualification stage and after construction had commenced, which gave us great concern. He worked with us diligently until we found the solution that worked best for us. His work ethic, attention to detail, and customer service set him apart from the rest during a process that can be very stressful and confusing to home buyers that have limited experience with it. And when it came to our closing, he had our paperwork done almost a week early and his diligence made the process go as smoothly as possible. In fact, our builder sent us an email commenting on how rare it was for a broker to be so easy to work with and to be so organized with everything. I hope to be in my new home for a while, but when it's time to move, Chad will be the first person I call!"
– Blaine Banta
"I want to express my sincere thanks to First Rate Financial for the personal attention given to me during the recent refinance of my home. I had been told that refinancing would be a beast; however, working with you made the entire process seamless. So often you hear about scams and greed in the housing industry and you don't know who you can trust.
I was shopping loans and thought I had found the perfect one. Low and behold you completed my loan documents, resulting in a mortgage that could not be matched by ANY lender, and the rest is history!
Words could never convey how much I appreciate your impeccable integrity, patience, and the level of professionalism exhibited by you while guiding me through every single step. The mortgage and finance knowledge that you imparted will be invaluable for years to come.
May you continually be blessed in all of your business endeavors as you work tirelessly to help so many others in the community as they embark upon home purchases and refinance."
– Nancy B. Williamson
"My husband and I were completely satisfied with the efficient service we received from Chad. We had been working with another financial institution attempting to refinance our home for 4 months. We found out about Chad, and we had our refinance funded at a lower rate, with proceeds in hand, within 6 weeks!! We would recommend Chad to our friends, family and associates. Thanks so much Chad!"

I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately. What's your inner monologue? How do you talk to yourself? Of course when I asked MB about it the other night, he sort of scoffed and retorted, "You talk to yourself in your mind, like in words?" To which I muttered, "Yes, in full complete sentences. Like right now, I'm saying, 'MB is condescending and judgmental.'" ha ha. He didn't hear me. But I was, I mean I am, being serious about the whole thing.
I continued by pressing him about what he tells himself when he tries something new, and then gave him a bunch of examples so the girl brain and boy brain could meet somewhere in the middle.
For ex: When I try something new, I hope for the best, but I actually think I won't be any good. I tell myself I can't do it, or it probably will just be acceptable. Not extraordinary.
For ex: when I am met with any kind of math problem, my brain shuts down. Just turns off. But I CAN do math. I'm very capable, it's just my mind hates it and tells me to go somewhere else.
And then I asked, "Do you think there are people that just go around telling themselves that they're going to be awesome at anything they do? They always think they're going to excel?"
Duh. He didn't need to answer that one, because clearly those people exist. But when I encounter those people, I have a few issues. Like one, sometimes they are not very awesome. Just watch the auditions for American Idol. They are totally delusional. And two, they sometimes are great and they know it, and well, that's annoying.
MB is of course normal in his thoughts. He believes if he works hard and applies himself, he can be good at something. Gah! He doesn't seem to believe me that when I try to self-talk like that I feel all Stuart Smalley and false on the inside. What's with the huge part of me that has to hate on myself in order to produce results?
I am plagued by self-doubt. Because the self-esteem thing of the 80s that my cohort and I were brainwashed with, doesn't cut the mustard (total MB old man phrase). We're not all special. The vast majority of us are ordinary and will die ordinary, with ordinary children, and ordinary pets, and ordinary accomplishments.
I'm actually not trying to be a wet blanket. It just always seems that way. I am working on it. Trying to flip the script, trying to live whole-hardheartedly, a la Brené Brown. The older I get the more power I see in narrative. In our personal narratives. The things we tell ourselves matter immensely. We are shaped by our own stories.

Emergency management spokeswoman Micki Trost said Sunday many families have reported loved ones as missing because the loss of phone service in many areas cut off communications.
"The numbers are going up and down because some people are calling in, and others are being reported missing. In many cases, people are being found safe in shelters or in their homes. We won't have any idea on what the numbers mean until the rain stops," Trost said.
Weather forecasters said more rain was expected Sunday, and authorities on the Eastern Plains said flooding is expected to continue for several days.
Major cell phone providers had service back up Sunday, and people were being asked to call the Red Cross or check in on an Internet site set up to track the missing. However, many people have been unable to charge their dead cell phone batteries with electricity out in many areas.
Four people have been confirmed dead in the flooding, with two more presumed dead.
Cell service was being restored Sunday in Estes Park, providing people a vital communications link residents there had been without, Larimer County sheriff's spokesman John Schulz said.
"If we can get phone service restored up there ... hopefully we can cut down on the number of people unaccounted for," Schulz said.
Trost said early reports from disasters often fluctuate wildly.
After a bridge over Interstate 35W collapsed in Minneapolis in 2007, more than 30 people were reported missing hours after the rush-hour crash, raising fears that dozens of people may have perished. The final total was 13 people dead, with more than 100 injured.

xcpu download ?
Read the article from start to end, more than once, and I have to say: "Inspiring!"
.. Anyway, I was wondering where can I download xcpu from ?
I'm trying to set up a cluster, using pxe booting nodes, and a suse 10.0 workstation as front-end, but bproc is giving me a hard time..
(If anyone can point out some resources in this area, please do)

Overall a nice article. However, I would have liked to see some performance charts for the strongarm cluster. Also more information about technical specs of that cluster would be nice; how much memory in each node etc.
Specs for TS7200 Single Board Computers

16 SBC's + 1 Laptop on a 16-Port Switch?
I really enjoyed the article on building the compact 16-Node cluster.
I've got a question about Figure 13. I count 16 Single Board Computers, but only 15 gray Ethernet cables connected to the 16-Port switch. The 16th cable appears to be black, and apparently goes out of the tool-box to the controlling ThinkPad Laptop. Does the 16th node in the cluster work without an Ethernet cable connected to the switch?
Take Care,
David Baldock
this article is truly
this article is truly inspiring, i wish to build one of these in the near future, but as a reply, maybe the laptop counts as the 16th node? just a guess on my part, but possible?
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Tip Sheets That Keep You in People's Minds... n 97 of 20 requests a week. Even a full decade after the Bottom Line/Personal offer ran, I was still receiving about a dozen requests a month for the original booklet. T HE W HITE P APER G AMBIT If you serve business-to-business clients or sell complex, expen- sive business products, consider a sophisticated variant of a tip sheet that can help you spread the word about what you do to potential customers, both with and without the help of the media. A "white paper" is a nonselling piece, relatively objective in tone, that informs a certain audience about your area of expertise and subtly positions your organization as qualified to solve a problem for them. White papers often get passed around an organization that is actively consid- ering major changes or investments in new technology. They usually run longer than tip sheets and either get posted on Websites for download in PDF format or are sent out upon request by phone, fax, or e-mail. A successful white paper strategy begins with writing your docu- ment so that it reads well, uses a minimum of jargon, holds back on salesmanship, and truly educates the reader. Ideally, its title should mention both the problem it addresses and the solution. For instance: "Digital Printing Options for Companies Producing Annual Reports" or "Achieving Greater Participation of Underrepresented Minorities in Private Companies." On the last page of the white paper, following your educational presentation, include a profile of your organization and how you help clients solve problems, along with complete con- tact information. Format the white paper attractively, with lots of subheads to facilitate a quick read. Once you've written and formatted it, send a news release mod- eled after Sample #3 in Chapter 4 to media in your industry. That is, don't merely announce that the white paper is available include meaty nuggets from it in the release. End by explaining how people can obtain a copy of the white paper. Also, create a bylined article related to the white paper, either by converting the news release into article format or by producing an edited excerpt from the longer white paper.

Online Spell check, Grammar, and Thesaurus checking
Add Spell Checking to virtually any text box on your web site. Visit www.spellchecker.net for details.
Don't Forget to Spell Check Your Website
There is a lot of work put into creating your own website. However, one of the most important things in running a website is making sure that everything is grammatically correct and spelled correctly. Spell check is an important part of writing. It is so much easier now-a-days to check the spelling of words than it used to be. Word document has a spell checker and there are plenty of spell check websites out there.
If your website is full of typos, it looks very unprofessional. People aren't going to believe what you have written, nor are they really going to care. Once people realize that your website looks as though it's been written by a first grader, they will stop visiting, therefore you will have little to now traffic.
There are plenty of website spell checker tools available while writing blog posts, articles or whatever else is on your website. It is very important that you utilize these spell checking tools, to ensure quality professionalism within the ranks of your website.
Spell checking a website is free to try. It costs you nothing to spell check your website (free trial!), but it can cost you a lot if you choose not to. The websites that do the best business are the ones that are the most professional. Think about it, would you buy something from a website that incorrectly spells that word "payment", or any word for that matter? Chances are you wouldn't. You wouldn't, because the website wouldn't feel professional or reliable. You wouldn't have turned in a college research paper, or a document to your boss, with multiple errors, so why post one online?
It's all about looks, how professional can you make your website look? Spell checking the articles you write before you post them onto your website merely takes minutes. The easier your articles are to read, the more readers you will get. The more professional your descriptions are the more people will buy your products. Its common sense, spell checking your websites is the easiest way to ensure success. Don't let your website get overlooked, simply because you chose not to use your spell checking tools.
Website Spell Check Information:
- This spell check lets you spell check your entire website for spelling mistakes.
- Make sure you put in the correct website address (i.e. include www if your site pages are called with www, etc.).
- Be sure to check your email account in the next few minutes to ensure you do not miss the spelling error report. If you don't see the report in the next few minutes, check your spam folder to ensure the report was not misidentified.
- If your site is less than 60 pages, you'll be emailed a complete spelling error report containing every possible mistake on your website. If your site is greater than 60 pages, you'll receive a partial spelling error report containing a number of possible spelling mistakes on your website.
- Feel free to place this form on your web page by copying the website spell checking code at no cost.

Israel: Muslim murders his teenage sister for dating a boy his family didn't like
Posted by Robert on December 2, 2012 12:01 PM
Longtime Jihad Watch readers may notice that I have posted the following information before. And I will continue to post it, as long as the near-universal denial and obfuscation continues, which I expect will be until right around the time that hell freezes over.
[1] Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that "retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right." However, "not subject to retaliation" is "a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring." ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.
The Palestinian Authority [2] gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have [3] asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. [4] Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but "the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour 'provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.'" And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. [5] Al-Jazeera reported that "Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values."
In light of all this, until authorities get the courage to tell the truth about honor killing, there will be many more such murders.
"15-year-old Bedouin girl stabbed to death in suspected honor killing," by Michal Shmulovich for the [6] Times of Israel, November 26 (thanks to [7] The Religion of Peace):
A 15-year-old girl was apparently stabbed to death on Monday in a suspected honor killing in the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva. The victim's 24-year-old brother called the police to confess to killing her.Police rushed to the scene and discovered signs of violence on her body. She was pronounced dead immediately. The brother who called the police was arrested, along with his two male siblings.
Police believe the girl was murdered because she was dating a boy against the wishes of her family, and refused to sever ties with him....
