I took this picture while taking a walk in NYC in late October. I geeked out a little on that trip because it was my first time having a meeting at the UN headquarters - to date, I've only been in regional offices. I remember the October air being crisp, whipping my hair across my face.
While in NYC, I was able to catch up with one of my oldest friends, Jason, who lives in Williamsburg. A southern California transplant (like myself), he is mesmerized by the city, its energy, the constant pace. We ate dinner at his favorite Argentinian restaurant, during which he chided me (and Ethan) for not visiting him sooner and now only because work required it. Afterwards, we had drinks while we admired the skyline. The city glittered. I remembered how, as a child, I was always drawn to this place.
That was October.
Then, November came, knocking me off my feet. There were a string of tragedies, in varying sizes, each one toppling me over, chipping away at me bit by bit. The collective effect was not good.
But that's life, isn't it? Horrible months like November make me realize how lucky I am to be able to dabble in all the frivolous crap I often enjoy - lately, my searches for Mayle dresses, Erin Considine necklaces, and Dieppa Restrepo boots, my constant daydreams about travel. But I don't feel guilty for these silly thoughts and musings. They're privileges, markers of lighter days.
It's a new month.

Rather than giving definite answers, Guilty Robots, Happy Dogs raises a number of thought-provoking questions. For example, does a dog experience pain if someone gently squeezes its injured paw? Most people would probably answer "yes," McFarland says. But what about the rooster that lived on for another 18 months after a Colorado farmer decapitated it? Fed with an eyedropper directly into its throat, the bird gained five and a half pounds, walked around and even attempted to crow. Would that animal experience pain?
After examining the question of alien minds from all angles, McFarland surmises that most of the attributes suggesting mental processes in animals can be achieved without thought: "Probably all the phenomena that have been cited as evidence that animals have some kind of mentality have also been demonstrated in robots." He ultimately leaves the reader with only one conclusion: we will never really know if robots can feel guilty or if dogs can be happy.
Quid Pro Quo
HDNet Films, 2008
In a dark New York City basement, reporter Isaac Knott finds a group of people sitting in wheelchairs, talking in hushed voices. A woman moves her legs. To his surprise, Isaac realizes he has interrupted a support group for able-bodied people who want to be like he is: paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.
These are characters in the feature film Quid Pro Quo, and they have variants of body integrity identity disorder (BIID), a rare psychiatric illness that causes people to feel alienated from their own body parts [see "Amputee Envy," by Sabine Mueller; Scientific American Mind, December 2007/January 2008]. Members of the fictional support group go by the real-life slang for their particular desire: a "pretender" wears a nonworking breathing tube, and "wannabes" strive to become disabled by ingesting a paralyzing chemical or by bribing doctors to sever their limbs.
Isaac quickly falls for Fiona, a beautiful woman attached to her unnecessary antique Milwaukee back brace. Filmmaker Carlos Brooks takes creative liberties to explain Fiona's behavior, melding various explanations for BIID. Unfortunately, he misses the mark by focusing on the more bizarre and titillating elements of the disease, ignoring the latest neurological findings that brain damage may be the root of some cases. The movie and its treatment of BIID veer off course when both Isaac's and Fiona's symptoms fluctuate wildly and unbelievably. Though surreal, the film deserves credit for daring to raise the question, Why would someone who isn't paralyzed want to be?

Folio 100r Translation and Transcription
Previous - Commentary - Next
Folio 100r Translation This stone, placed in the mouth, proves to be colder than others. It is very hard and resists cutting or engraving. But it can be marked by a fragment of diamond. The twelfth, amethyst The twelfth foundation is amethyst. Isidorus says of it: Among purple stones, the Indian amethyst holds first position; it is, indeed, purple but of mixed coloration, giving forth violet and rose-coloured lights; it is easy to engrave. For this reason the humility of the saints is signified by it; associated with humility is obedience, as Ambrose says: 'Humility is small, like the violet, beautiful like the rose, easy to apply to all things'; or: 'They are like burning flames, looking at love'. For humility is acceptable to everyone, even to our enemies; as pride, in contrast, is viewed by everyone with detestation, as it says in Ecclesiasticus, 15: 'Pride is hateful before God and men' (see 10: 7). For this reason the amethyst is placed in the final position, as if watching over all, and as if humility always reckons itself the least and always takes the last place. In this context, Gregory: 'He who assembles in himself the other virtues without humility is like one who carries dust in the wind. Also Paul: 'He who is modest, that is to be understood as humble, deserves to possess the tenth place.' Of stones and what they can do The diamond is amongst all stones the hardest, cutting all other precious stones; it likes to be set in steel; it does not wish to be given away; and it will not allow the goods of him who possesses it to be divided. 2 The ruby has the virtue of all precious stones, that if it is washed in water and that water is then given to the sick who are thirsty, they grow well if each one is according to his nature virtuous. 3 The smaragdus refreshes the eyes; it cheers the body of him who looks upon it; and |

TAKE OnE lOOK AT THE sUccEssfUl sPORTs TEAms in OUR sPORTs-cRAzEd sOciETY And YOU'll find ExAmPlEs Of lEAdERsHiP, mOTivATiOn And TEAmwORK AbOUnd. Just as we look to these teams and star players for entertainment, we should look to them for inspiration as we manage our own property management teams, particularly during this economic downturn.
Real estate management has become increasingly challenging in our current fiscal environment, especially for those property managers who are supervisors. While dealing with
co-workers, customers, Now, more than ever, it is imperative that managers focus on outstanding leadership that motivates staff and encourages teamwork so real estate management companies can achieve success despite the downturn.
As managers or supervisors become increasingly pressured to deliver occupancy rates or reach market rents, it is important staff act as teammates, each playing an integral part in the team's success.
Just as in sports, a company's team is headed by a captain—one who is either selected by upper management or nominated by peers to lead his or her teammates. Consider the asset manager or supervisor the team leader by structure.
To truly uphold and exude the elements of a leader, one must possess the ability to rally and support one's teammates to work toward a common goal. The captain should be able to effectively empower and motivate teammates so they can work through difficulties to achieve success. Successful captains will effectively motivate their teammates to work with them, as opposed to against them, in an effort to achieve their goals.
Look at the great sports teams: the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Lakersor the New England Patriots. In Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady,respectively, each team has a captain who plays a pivotal part in his team'ssuccess. While other teammates areimportant, the captain leads the teamto victory when the pressure is on.
COMMUNICATION IS AN ASSET Part of being a good team captain is being a good communicator. The foundation of any championship team is communication. A team of talented athletes will fail miserably if they don't communicate what plays they're running, where they're throwing the ball, or how they intend to blow by their opponent. They will only get in one another's way.

A few months ago I posted this recipe for an individual peanut butter chocolate chip cookie cake. The other day I was in the mood for just that, but was disappointed to find that I was out of real peanut butter (I know…who am I?!). I ended up using PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter instead, which I was given a sample of a few weeks ago.
The result? An equally delicious cookie cake, which just happens to be a lightened-up version.
- 6 tablespoons boxed chocolate chip cookie mix OR yellow cake mix
- 2 tablespoons PB2
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. First combine PB2 and milk in a bowl, then add the cookie (or cake) mix. Mix well. Transfer dough/batter into a greased 6-inch diameter ramekin. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
You'll notice that I used cookie mix instead of cake mix this time, which turned out really great. I also loved using the PB2 instead of regular peanut butter for a change. It was a lot easier and "cleaner" to bake with, but it still gave that great peanut butter flavor.
My other favorite ways to eat PB2 is mixed into Greek yogurt or oatmeal. But, let's be real…

Prepare To Be Exhausted
An insanely busy period starts tomorrow, with an afternoon preview of the Newark Arena/Prudential Center. A short item Gaetano found touts:
The FIRST opportunity to tour the new arena prior to opening day on October 25I hope to be up in time to get there with no strain. I have been trying to move my sleep cycle (to the extent I have any) to mid-morning from mid-afternoon, which I had had to be on for over 20 years, since I worked evenings. If you don't start work until 5:30pm, you don't want to be up more than a couple of hours before that, just long enuf to make yourself presentable and commute to the office. I was making good progress, too, but yesterday and today events conspired against me. So here I am still up after dawn drafting this.

At 7:30am, I heard a muffled explosion, apparently off to the east some distance but powerful enuf to send a shock wave thru the floor of my hoffice (home office). Seven minutes later, I hear a distant siren, but only one. Maybe two.
In any case, the end of October is the Newark Arts Council's annual group show and available real-estate tour, which this year coincides with the opening of the Arena and the first several concerts by Bon Jovi. Matt Gosser is opening a group show at the School of Architecture at NJIT. I think Gallery Aferro has something. The Newark Museum has a symposium on India on the 27th. I won't even KNOW how many things there are until I go methodically thru my postal and email, and put everything onto a calendar. But for right now, the one thing I need to make sure you know about is tomorrow, as above.
My sleep-cycle applecart was upset. As I started to review email on all of my AOL screennames (separate addresses for different aspects of life and work), I got bogged down by one of those unexpected lifebombs that disrupt my schedule: an email from a stranger with almost 290 suggestions for another of my Internet projects, the Simpler Spelling Word of the Day website. When I first started that project, I tried to make it a group effort of various spelling reform groups and individual activists, but was rebuffed. I went ahead alone, on June 1st, 2004. Altho Britain's Simplified Spelling Society has maintained its aloofness, a bunch of other reformers, mainly from the U.S. and Japan, have come around. I am reminded of the expression, altered from a line in the baseball movie Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come." And a couple of dozen spelling reformers have come forward to collaborate in this project. The same notion ("If you build it...") has been the theory behind the creation of the Newark Arena. Let's hope it works even better than has my having overcome a boycott of my simpler-spelling website by ignoring it.
I don't need the SSS. My own radical spelling reform website, which takes an altogether different approach from the SSWD site, is among the top 10 spelling-reform sites on the Internet. People without the arrogance of the SSS have offered perhaps 1,400 suggestions for SSWD, each of which I need to evaluate, and check to see if it has already been used or was already on the list (people don't always check, even tho the future-words list is right there on the website). I recognize at once that some suggestions are terrific but others unworkable. Other offered words plainly don't fit the project, so go into Rejected.html. Still others, I have to puzzle over. I've used about 1,256 words (my own and suggestions from readers) over the past two years and more; there are over 2,060 words presently on the future-words list; and even before I got the 290-word list in today's email I had three other email lists totaling another 30 words or so awaiting inclusion, so I can't remember offhand all the words used, accepted, and rejected, but have to do electronic searches of as many as three files for every suggestion offered. I don't need any of that this week, so warned these helpful strangers that it may be several days before I will have added or rejected all their suggestions.
What I do need this week is to get up from the chair in front of my computer to get some exercise, in order to build stamina for the unusually busy period coming up in the New Newark, or I won't be able to get to more than a small fraction of events. I suppose having too much to do is better than having absolutely nothing to do in Newark.
(As to the explosion: At around 8:05, News 12 New Jersey said they had word of an incident in Irvington but weren't clear as to what it was. At 8:11am, they said that apparently there was an explosion in a house in Irvington, and some burn victims. A news crew was heading to the scene and would update the report as they got more information. Irvington is indeed east of me, so that must be what I heard and felt. If it shook my house, many blocks away, I hate to think what it did to the house that exploded. And its occupants and neighbors.
8:39, News 12 has a telephone report from the scene. Tony Caputo says there is only a lot filled with rubble where there had been new construction.
9:00am, News 12 opens the hour with pictures, at long last, of the exploded house. Apparently four people were taken to UMDNJ and are in critical condition. Tony Caputo says he believes he saw someone taken away on a stretcher, covered by a sheet (as suggested death), but they have had no confirmation of any deaths. Let's hope they don't get any such bad news. Caputo reports that the windows in houses all around were blown out. Small wonder.
9:10. One dead, five injured. Gas leak, ongoing. Search dogs and human search teams from as far as Union County (on Irvington's south edge). To give you an idea of how powerful the explosion was, Mapquest says that 19th Avenue and 22nd Street, the site of the blast, is 1.63 miles from me, with only a couple of jogs around corners. As the crow flies, that's about a mile and a half away, yet the blast shook my floor!
A witness said he saw the owner of this new, three-story house bringing his dogs back home, and as soon as he raised the garage door, a spark apparently ignited leaked gas, with catastrophic results. I'm a little upset. I don't know the people, or the dogs, affected, but you feel sad when something like this, an utterly unexpected bolt from the blue, hits so close to home that your own house shakes from it. Let's just hope there are no bodies under the rubble, and the people injured recover with no lasting disability.)
Let's move in a different direction within my general vicinity. Today's foto shows a special place about a half mile from me to the north, away from Irvington. This is Joe's Market at South Orange Avenue and Telford Street in Vailsburg.
This unprepossessing little supermarket, run by Orientals (Chinese? Koreans?), is the closest this area comes to a gourmet store. Inside, you can find food sauces of many kinds; unusual fresh vegetables; Irish soda bread; and Guyanese and other baked and other goods, all at reasonable prices. It's quite a surprise to find such items in a local market, and someday I must take the time to look carefully at the various exotic goods. I saw cooking sauces and spices for things I don't know how to make. For instance, if I remember correctly, I saw a spice mix for jerked chicken. I've heard the term but have no idea what it means.
Speaking of Orientals (and no, "Asian" is not a better term, because Asia is an enormous continent that includes over a billion and a half non-Orientals in South Asia, Southwest Asia, the Caucasus, and Arabia), two things come to mind. First, the only Orientals I have seen apparently residing in Newark were going into a Mount Prospect Avenue highrise. I saw them on last February's Newarkology walking tour* of the North Ward. Newark has many Chinese takeout restaurants, but, bizarrely, their owners and employees seem to commute in from other places. How inconvenient. Wouldn't it make better sense to live here and walk to work?
Second, Gaetano found a website called "When Newark Had a Chinatown", which is working to document the Chinese presence in Newark in prior times.
Sumei Multidisciplinary Arts CenterThe landlord of the last apartment I had in Manhattan was Chinese, from Shanghai. Very nice man. His wife and dauter, tho — yech! It's amazing that such a nice man had such a rotten wife and dauter.
is creating a permanent historical exhibition of this very important part of Newark's Immigrant history.
Be part of Newark's History
The Sumei Multidisciplinary Arts Center is interested in speaking with any one who may have experienced Newark's Chinatown. Photographs, interviews and any other pertinent material will be greatly appreciated.
* It turns out, by the way, that Jeffrey Bennett did not conduct a further walking tour of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery after the tour of Fairmount Cemetery last Sunday. It was closed by the time our Fairmount Tour finished. So I didn't miss anything. I imagine he'll want to guide us thru Holy Sepulchre another time, and I'll try to make that tour.

A home in Alpine Utah, was sparred as a fast-moving wildfire burned the outlying area and left the home and its lush surroundings virtually untouched. The fire has consumed up to 5,000 acres in less than a day, as it continues to rage.
The fire which as been named the Quail Fire, began Tuesday afternoon. Investigators believe the fire was man-made, and created by a heavy equipment operator working on the nearby Rodeo grounds.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune said the Loyal Clark, public affairs officer for the U.S. Forest Service, said the fire was zero percent contained by late evening. A team was in place creating fire breaks, while helicopters and planes also battled the blaze.


text: first of all, I would just like to say that this is a great site. One thing that I would enjoy and I think everyone could benifit from is a members' tanks section. It could give an idea of fish that people mix, aquascaping examples, ect. Just something to think about,

http://www.mlive.com/tigers/index.ss...-+MLive.com%29Toby Harrah joined the Detroit Tigers in Texas during their series against the Rangers and will work with the team's hitters for the remainder of the season, a Tigers spokesman confirmed Wednesday night.
Harrah is the team's minor league hitting coordinator but will work with hitting coach Lloyd McClendon for the rest of the season.
Harrah has been the hitting coordinator for the franchise for nine years and generally travels to work with players throughout the team's minor-league system.
The Tigers entered their game Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers fifth in the American League in batting average, sixth in runs scored and eighth in slugging percentage. Delmon Young, Jhonny Peralta, Brennan Boesch and Alex Avila are among several Tigers hitters who have struggled this season.
Wow, this is essentially like firing McClendon without firing him. There must be some kind of strange power struggle going on behind the scenes.
maybe mclendon gets to stick around for ajax and harrah works with everyone else?
like you said, this seems strange...
Leyland has way too many of his "boys" on this coaching staff. That's been a problem for a while now.
Isn't that to be expected? Don't all managers try to get their boys on the staff, if available.
What else should he do, hire guys he has no working relationship with?
OT: But Rich Rodriguez did that with Scott Shaefer and Greg Robinson. RR had never coached a down with those two prior to Michigan, and we see how it worked out.
"the world will know soon enough if Millen in fact acted alone."

Leslie David Baker's Hilarious Music Video
When I look at Leslie David Baker, I think Stanley thanks to his time on the hit show The Office, not auto-tuned ladies man. Seems like I was wrong as the sitcom star has a new video for his song 2 Be Simple.
You would think Baker was Hugh Hefner the way he struts around in his house full of scantily clad women, but Hugh doesn't make music so Stanley takes this round.

After completing the course, you'll be given a watercraft safety certificate. You must be able to show the certificate whenever requested by Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officers.
Boater Safety Course
If you're interested in taking a safety course, it must be approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), or else Iowa will not recognize it.
The state, itself, provides a Boat Iowa Course. The class is available through classroom or home study instruction for a $5 fee. The course is at least six hours long. A passing score of 80% or higher is required.
Visit the DNR Boater Education page for sign-up information, or call (515) 281-5918.
Some third-party providers also offer approved online safety courses, too.
Even if you're not required to complete a safety education class, these courses offer valuable information and make you a better boater, while potentially reducing the cost of your insurance.

They made boats in 1926-1927. I have a chance to buy a 16' in pristine condition.

Put in two hungry young players to face guard the player receiving the inbound pass, have any player bird dog or cherry pick on the offense end and run and shoot a three-pointer every six seconds at the most. We certainly can't get much worse at this point.

Sorry for the delay in my posts…I still haven't been able to get over the Ravens loss to the Patriots 2 weeks ago but I have another progressive house jam for you all that will make up for the wait. Once again this is another "fake" Avicii song called This is So Good by Ehrencrona and was released on his Beatport earlier this week. This song has the catchy synths and vibe of an Avicii song and will be on replay for the next couple of days in your iTunes. The song may sound familiar however this is the official release of This is So Good that was bought off of his Beatport account. Please download this song, thanks.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case-but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida. A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be. What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident . . . and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed. ### Review "Baldacci's palpable tension keeps the pages turning-and leaves you eager for the next in this new series." (***The Star-Ledger* on *Zero Day*** ) "Readers expect excitement and intrigue in David Baldacci's books, and *Zero Day* is no exception...As Baldacci's new hero narrowly escapes countless close calls, the pairing of the author's imagination and knowledge create a wild ride for the reader. Puller is gutsy, brash and likable. Best of all, he survives to reappear in the next book of this new series." (***The Free-Lance Star* on* Zero Day*** ) ### About the Author David Baldacci lives with his family in Virginia. He and his wife have founded the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across America. He invites you to visit him at www.david-baldacci.com and his foundation at www.wishyouwellfoundation.org, and to look into its program to spread books across America at www.FeedingBodyandMind.com. The Forgotten is the second novel in the John Puller series by author David Baldacci. When John Puller's aunt writes to his father, currently interned at an army hospital, that she has seen strange occurrences and that people are not what they seem in he home town of Paradise, Florida John Puller Sr asks his son to investigate. When he arrives in Paradise he finds his aunt dead, did she die of natural causes or was she murdered? As he investigates he embarks on a hunt that we lead to an all action explosive ending which will put his life in danger. The book is longRead the full review here The first novel I have read on the topic of human trafficking. For that I give the author credit. A military man goes to his visit his aunt in the panhandle of Florida, only to find that she has died. And then he discovers a few other murders in the neighborhood. The story takes off from there. While a good idea, the storty dragged some. Maybe the author could have had the same plot in less words. After recently reading THE INNOCENT by Balduccii I felt this was not as good. So-so....... So this is how a bestseller novel from 2012 feels like. I've been reluctant to dip in contemporary waters. Maybe I shouldn't have. I welcome the easy plot and prose. In fact, I prefer wasting my time on this kind of book rather than a murky and confusing masterpiece that is out of my grip. That doesn't mean I should cut The Forgotten any slack. "Okay you have my vote for 4 stars," said the hero. Not on my watch buddy. Any attempt at serious and world wise ideas are undermined by childish ones. The editor clearly passed a sub par product. The best passage for me was when the Paradise police headquarters was being described. It was spotless down to a t, and emphasis was laid about how it looked like a movie set. I liked that, and I like writing which is self aware. There are a couple of new factoids here...like how the heart expands during strangling, and how lying could be detected. I've been told that Puller is a Jack Reacher clone. Not clone, but wanna be. I haven't read Jack Reacher, but if the latter is as similar to Puller then I don't have much incentive to read on him as he is generic as hell himself. But I must not judge a character like this, maybe Jack Reacher is backed by good authorship. But almost all of these thriller book heroes are muscle bound apes with ridiculous intelligence and robotic speed, stamina and decision making. Not to mention altruistic. I welcome the easy style of the book. Ease of writing may quicken the reader to the end, making for fewer stops in less days. This immerses the reader into the story. That's what a good book with little artistic pretensions or ambition does. There is a series of books, the Pizza Lovers' Mysteries, that I've read this year which does just that. But that was a cozy mystery. There the ease in style worked in favor of the genre, and for me anyway, those mystery books transcended their limitations. I was surprised by a few things. I thought that Landry's partner was childish and that he was going to get his wish of being a pain in the hero's ass. He didn't. Also the rogue agent was kind of a surprise as I thought the traitor was going to sacrifice his/her - okay her - life for the greater good. I also found it deflating that despite having no proof on the lieu of his aunt's murder, Puller irrationally believed in her being silenced. It would have been better if Puller had proved his salt and dug up at least inconclusive evidence. The Forgotten is one of the highest rated books on amazon. I checked a few of the one star reviews. They were concerned with the ridiculousness of the detective sides, and the dialog. I didn't pick up much on that. But I do recognize how ordinary and lazy this effort from Baldacci is. The latter is too devoted to his hero, making him to be a killing machine. The first part of the book the writer hints that in battles Puller survived because of his skill and tenacity. Later the emphasis was laid on luck having a say. By that time, however the damage was done. no reviews | add a review

Clearing the closet yet again
Seeing the 3 day weekend and the amount of titles building up in my OVAs and One-Offs folder. I thought it was about time I clear my closet again.
Every now and then, we talk about us and our guilty little pleasures from animes. Like maybe how we are thrilled by a quick panty shot of a character. Or at the violence which is morally sickening but still gets us excited.
Well… Needless does this well. Only problem is, Needless doesn't know the meaning of "little".
Oh wait… Did I say problem?
No Sir, no problems here…
Needless is such a riot. I HAD to use 2 opening screens!

Before we start. Can someone tell me why is the title Tears to Tiara? No? Knew it… -.-"
Unsatisfying Nagi. GoodBye Zetsubo. Kanamemo. Cosplayer's Enthusiasm
Another mediocre shot. Sigh…
Until now, I'm still trying to take a satisfying shot of Nagi. I thought these shots were "presentable" but they are by no means good. Hmm.. I think I'm actually starting to get demanding of myself. Good sign? Hope so… Lol.

Even among whites there is a lot of regional distinctions. A white from Idaho isn't very similar to a white from California, for example. There is a sort of country-folk vs city-folk ideology here in Pennsylvania. I've noticed it among my mom's side of the family. Generally, the cities are multicultural, yes, but outside the cities, the regional identities still persist, which are slowly becoming Americanized by the media.
This is what much of North America is like.
Of course all whites are more similar with each-other than with non-whites, with exceptions.

Belgian Grand Prix, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa - Qualifying - Result It was one of the wettest Qualifying session. As always, wet means drama and uncertainty. So does world champion Sebastian Vettel always live to the reputation of being ahead. Vettel grabbed his 9th pole of the season out of 12. Amazingly all 12 are being held by Red Bull drivers. Vettel rather snatched the pole position from Lewis Hamilton in the dying moment of the qualifying session. As it went in Q3: 10min session was more than a piece of cake for Vettel. As all the drivers for the first time started on soft compound tyres during qualifying. Weather gives its way to settle the score between the honchos. There was a pure dry line on the track. All the drivers continued for 10mins without going for a pitstop. As the session started Massa and Petrov went into the gravel. But both avoided damage. Again a strong performance from Webber put him in the front but just before the last min Vettel goes P1 only 1tenth of a second faster than Webber and Hamilton in P3 another 1tenth down. The battle for the top spot started with the last min rush to glory. As did Webber crosses the line first then Hamilton. It became clear that Webber will be 3rd on the grid but who would have known that current champion will cover the ground and secured P1 on the desk. Massa did his best in the Ferrari to qualify at 4th followed by Nico Rosberg in Mercedes. Jaime Alguersuari in the Toro Rosso set brilliant 6th position for the team. This being his best starting position on the grid. Comeback boy, Bruno Senna, exceptionally performed by even out performing his teammate and qualifying 7th that nobody has ever imagined from him. Ayrton Senna nephew learned quickly the new car and adjusted himself well according to the situation. Fernando Alonso qualified only 8th out-qualified by his teammate. Sergio Perez was 9th and Vitaly Petrov was 10th. As it went in Q2: As the session started on full wet with a rain shower. Drivers expected for a full wet session that was interrupted by Adrian Sutil accident. The session also involved deliberate clash by Maldonado to the Lewis Hamilton car at the end of the session which Hamilton survived with damage to the right side bodywork and front wing. Maldonado was handed five place grid penalty for that. Sutil crashed just when 7mins were remaining into the session and where the drama begins. Sutil was running 5th when the crash knocked him out. All the drivers went into the intermediates to get a spot in Q3. Q2 was difficult session for Alonso for whom it look that he will not be able to make it to Q3 for the moment. But he hold onto the car and finished the session at top in the end with 2min 02.768sec on board. More drama came from Hamilton who could not compromise on his aggressive nature and went onto overtake Maldonado in the final corner in the final lap of Q2. Both the Williams of Maldonado and Barrichello were compromised on their final run by a slower car in front and Hamilton at back. But the drama keeps on building up as when Maldonado and Hamilton went into the start finish straight, Maldonado came from back into the side of Hamilton and hit him. This was mostly deliberate for which he was penalized for 5place grid penalty. Sebastien Buemi was running a competitive lap time but in the end lost it by 3tenth of a second to start at 11th position followed by Kamui Kobayashi. The biggest disappointment came as Jenson Button was outqualified and will start the race in 13th. Rubens Barrichello in 14th. Adrian Sutil dropped to 15th after the accident. Pastor Maldonado starts in 16th while Kovalainen for Lotus outqualified Paul Di Resta of Force India in Q1 to start at 17th. As it went in Q1: As the Q1 started a storm of drivers went onto record the time as the atmosphere was clear at that moment and it was not raining for the moment. Intermediates on for the drivers. Major Disappointment of Q1 came for the 7times world champion who is celebrating his 20th anniversary into the Formula One and will start the race in 24th. Schumacher car right rear wheel came off and he spun into the turn 8 before hitting the wall damaging the front nose. = With more rain pore at the end of the session no better time was recorded and Button top the Q1 with 2min 01:813sec. 4drivers were not able to clear the 107%qualifying rule which was 2min 10:339sec including Michael Schumacher. But later stewards allowed them to take part into the race. First to knockout of the Q1 was Paul Di Resta who was knocked out in the dying moments by Heikki Kovalainen in Lotus followed by Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock. Jerome D'Ambrosio of Virgin and Both the HRT did not qualify for the 107%rule.

Featured Book Pieces of Me by Lena Kovadlo
Can anyone relate to this "job" that's never ending?
Buying groceries can be very funny
It takes a considerable amount of money
Sometimes, it's a very stressful job
In the presence of a devious mob
Women snatch cereal from your child's hand
As they check from their list the chosen brand
They scamper down the isles
With check-out lines that stretch for miles
You have all your coupons in tact
And hope all your groceries have been sacked
As you're leaving, what do you spy?
A 'Mrs. Bairds' label out of the corner of an eye
It's been smashed like a pancake
Oh, for chrissake!
Can't they refrain from smashing the bread
I guess, it's more fun to flirt with the checkers instead.

Today I am delighted to welcome on board a Brand new Sponsor, Weddings at Loch Lomond.
Yesterday I shared a spectacular Photoshoot from May that they did to promote the Brand.
Weddings at Loch Lomond is the ultimate planning tool for brides getting married in the Loch Lomond and surrounding areas. Brimming with fabulous suppliers, smart advice and creative ideas to ensure that your day here at Loch Lomond will be talked about for many years to come.
The Directory Who are you and what do you do ?
"Weddings at Loch Lomond is both a bespoke, informative website and 200 page printed Wedding Directory which consists of many Loch Lomond based wedding professionals who can help you plan the perfect wedding."
When, and why did you start your Business ?
"Nearly three years ago myself, Graham Wilson of Graham Wilson Photography and John Paul Lusk of Leven Films met up to discuss how we could form a co-op of local wedding businesses who's ethos would be to keep the business within Loch Lomond."
"We got in touch with a web designer Stephen Flynn of Easy Web Sites and together set about creating a bespoke website.
Then we got in touch with Alexa Scott of Scottish Event Management who had just ran the areas first successful wedding show, and it was she who suggested that we produce a brochure to run hand in hand with the website."
"Last years A4 glossy brochure was well received, however this year we have produced an amazing 200 page A5 full colour magazine with editorial, competitions and feature spreads. It's free for Brides to pick up within all of the companies listed."
"There are a couple of reasons as to why we created the directory.
First of all we recognised that on our door step we were blessed to have such talented people who worked within the wedding industry.
A huge part of their livelihoods depend on this industry here at Loch Lomond, so by keeping the business local, it also helps boost the local economy.
Every £ spent with a local company gets ploughed back and makes us stronger. Secondly, we live in a carbon footprint conscious world these days. If a Bride chooses from the range of local companies within the website or directory to help her plan her day, she helps reduce the overall carbon footprint."
What Inspires you ?
"I am inspired by listening to a Bride go through the "menu" of suppliers who all live, work and breathe within a 10 minute drive of Loch Lomond and who are all part of Weddings at Loch Lomond.
We all know one another so I think this gives the Bride extra confidence as we can talk knowledgeably about each others business."
"And also the whole process of finding our girl in the red dress - Karen Porter (nee Dowdall).
We ran a search in the local newspaper, our website, and also The Scottish Wedding Directory to find a Bride to Be who would dare to wear a red dress for our new magazine."
"Karen was chosen as our girl by myself, Graham and the girls from The Wedding Planner, and in May this year we took her, and her then fiance Robbie on a whirlwind photo shoot of Loch Lomond which was amazing."
"Lots of the companies within the magazine participated and gave up their time to help us.
We sourced the famous Red Dress from The Wedding Planner.
It is from Ronald Joyce and is designed by Veni Infantino and is simply stunning."
Robbie was dressed by Totally Tartan, and we were able to use the magnificent grounds and Marquee of Boturich Castle for the main part of the shoot."
"We had a vintage car from John H Glen, a modern Jaguar from Double Six Limos, Flowers were by Helensburgh Flowers, Hair and Make up by Stardusts Hair and Beauty, Stationery by Cherish, Gifts by Loch Lomond Gift House, Piping on the day was by Colin Lawrie and three cakes on display were from Rainbow Cakes, Confetti Confection and Gems Balloon Box. Orla the Golden Eagle from The Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre arrived mid way through the shoot to show us how stunning a bird of prey she really is."
"Lodge on Loch Lomond gave Robbie and Karen an overnight stay as part of their prize, and they managed to visit as many of the venues up and down Loch Lomond as we could muster.
They even set sail on board Beau Jangles, a luxury cruiser on the Loch. And of course everything was captured by Graham Wilson Photography and filmed by Leven Films too."
What is your Greatest achievement ?
"Ohhh, there are so many."
"Ripping the boxes open last year to look at the first brochure, and then the same excitement this year when they arrived (after I carried all 4500 copies into my shop!), working alongside my husband Richard who was the official magazine designer (a HUGE kiss to him) and seeing something amazing unfold on screen as the website developed."
"We worked alongside Jenners Loch Lomond at a Wedding Extravaganza Evening back in May and they have asked us back in October, this time for the weekend so thats great and I think seeing everything come together and knowing that all your hard work is shaping the future of the wedding industry within Loch Lomond."
"Last but not least watching the official video - words can't describe how I felt when I watched it for the first time. Big hankies at the ready!"
"John Paul stepped down at the beginning of the year and Alexa Scott joined Graham and I, and with this she has brought a wealth of knowledge.
We have so many plans for the rest of 2011 and onwards to 2012."
"We want to promote Loch Lomond to people who live outside of Loch Lomond, so that means tapping into the national marketplace to convince Brides and Grooms to consider our lovely surroundings as their perfect wedding destination. We want couples to use the magazine inside and out.
We want Weddings at Loch Lomond to be the first words on all Brides lips, and of course we will run the competition next year to find our new girl in the red dress too. But let's give Karen her moment of glory!"
I am very glad to welcome this incredible team of people on board as Sponsors.
Loch Lomond is one of the most beautiful and picturesque areas in Scotland and you are literally spoiled with the fantastic selection of Suppliers and Venues to bring together your perfect Wedding Day.

June 22, 2010
By Stephanie Sloane Posted: Jun 22, 2010As a longtime DAYS viewer, I am really loving the tribute to Alice and seeing all the old faces in Salem. Though it might not be the happiest occasion, it's been great to have (so far) Melissa, Jennifer, Marie, Laura, Lucas and Kayla back. But I have to make special mention of John Martin, who is fitting in so seamlessly as Bill. Dare I say that his scenes are affecting me the most? It would be hard for any recast to come into this story, since it hinges on the longtime relationships these characters have to Alice, but it's like Martin has played the role forever. His emotional talks with Jen, Lucas, Nathan and Maggie have had just the right amount of weight and sentiment. With Bill as the de facto patriarch of the Horton clan, Martin had a lot of pressure on him to make it ring true. Kudos to him for doing just that.

NGMC president begins first week on the jobBy Katie Crumley Access Insider GAINESVILLE - A new president is learning the ropes at Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
NGMC President Brad Nurkin is in his first week on the job, a new position recently created as part of the restructuring of the health system's chief operating officer position to more accurately reflect the job's scope of leadership. "I'm here to support by running the day by day operations of the hospital," Nurkin said. "It's a new position, but I think it just melts in with the great leadership that's already been here to kind of continue to add to that and grow the system." Nurkin comes to NGMC from Johnson City Medical Center in Tennessee where he served as president and CEO. North Georgia Health System CEO Carol Burrell announced his hiring last month. Along with Nurkin's new job comes the new hospital in south Hall County. Nurkin said he looks forward to its opening. "I'm very excited about it, I've seen the plans for it, and it's a beautiful facility," Nurkin said. "It's using some great technology to provide wonderful and very efficient healthcare." Prior to his job in Tennessee, Nurkin served as Chief Executive Officer of Charlotte Regional Medical Center in Punta Gorda, Fla.. His previous experience also includes CEO of Lancaster Regional Medical Center in Lancaster, Pa.; CEO of East Georgia Regional Medical Center in Statesboro; and Interim CEO and COO of Crossgates River Oaks Hospital in Brandon, Miss. © Copyright 2013 AccessNorthGa.com

Green building initiatives for the retail sector are booming.
With reasons for greening ranging from moral decisions to money-saving schemes, depending on the agenda of the person implementing the green initiative, there can be no denying that green is trending, and has in fact reached 'uber-trend' levels with environmentally responsible initiatives increasingly 'the next big thing.'
It seems like a no-brainer that an industry such as retail, which relies heavily on trends and trend promotion, would be right on board with the green movement, and that can be seen through a growing number of green retailers popping up worldwide.
Brookfield Multiplex's $215 million Stockland Shellharbour shopping centre redevelopment, in development in Australia, promises to be much more than a trendy boutique retailer.
With stage two of the development now complete, interiors of the finished sections are coming to light, boasting a number of visually and environmentally impressive aspects.
Designed by The Buchan Group, stage two showcases strong energy conservation throughout the interior design, which includes deep internal voids that aim to maximise natural light – something that is rarely in abundance in shopping complexes. While natural light is the key to reducing reliance on electrical lighting, the heat gain from natural light often increases electricity consumption, replacing a reliance on lighting with a reliance on cooling. In the Stockland Shellharbour development, high performance glass and double-glazing have been used in order to eliminate solar gain, thus minimising solar heat loads.
Renewables will play a key part in generating energy for the development, with photovoltaic cells and wind turbines catering to these energy needs. Rainwater reuse tanks for greywater will also be included as a part of key Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) features, which further include cooling towers, sustainable landscaping and cycling facilities to encourage people to access the site by means other than by car.
With all of these features delivered, the development is well on its way to reaching its targeted 4 Star Green Star Retail ratings in both Design and As-Built categories.
The massive retail project is already weeks ahead of schedule with an expected mid-2013 completion date in sight.
The defining feature of retail is its trending nature. In choosing to deliver these built environments as green buildings, retailers will stay on top of the most defining trend of this generation and earning plenty of economical and environmental rewards along the way.

Claudy Conn has written one of the most AMAZING series I have had the pleasure to read. From the beginning of the Legend Series and her Through Time Series (an off shoot from Legend) it is one fast paced, couldn't put them down, and had to have them all ride! Thank you!

Catch & Hold by Claudy Conn
Legend Series Book 5
This book picks up where Free Falling (book 4) left off. Radzia, known as Z, has fallen into some deep trouble and Dante has followed after to try and help. Z has to become more Daoine than human if she is going to be able to win the coming battles. Problem is that this girl just can't lose her knee jerk reactions. She just don't stop and think things out.
Dante, Royal Prince of Lugh, doesn't seem so princely these days as he has to chase after his Z, his enfant. Trying to keep her safe is a full time job. Not to mention the other handsome hunks he has to keep at bay so they stay away from his woman. Love has definitely changed this seventy thousand year old warrior. But warrior he is and must be as the war is now here.
Legend series is best read from the start, Spellbound. Each book has a continuing story of Gaiscioch, the Dark Realm and the Unseelies who are part of a coming war against the unsuspecting humans. From book one we start meeting our couples who will unite to fight in this war as well. Catch & Hold was full of adventure and surprises. It seems our heroes and heroines always need their swords nearby as trouble is never far away. The author even gives life and personality to a Seelie Hallow named Rolo.

This is my first book for this author and I wasn't dissappointed. There is plenty of action and lust for everyone. I am partial to this book because I love the Fae realm and the Fae princes, what is not to love? Well maybe death by sex, ha ha. If you liked the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning you will not want to miss this series. ****4stars

on March 11, 2012 :
eXtreme Seduction
Catch and Hold completes the Legend series in style, with Claudy Conn pulling out all the stops to bring the series to a stimulating and climactic finale. Which is after all . . . as it should be, since she left readers with a cliff hanger ending in Free Falling—Legend (no title irony there. lol)
The beginning of Catch and Hold finds Radzia MacDaun smack-landing in the dark realms of the unseelie fae and on the run across the enemy's home turf, without her beloved Danté. Conn ups the ante further by bringing the powers of four dark unseelie royals into the mix of villains bent on mayhem and destruction. From beginning to end the action never stops as Conn draws her cast of Legend characters together to save the Tuatha Dé and earth as we know it. I applaud the strong female characters, the wide emotional range, and character building growth that fills the story; but between the two of us, I know what it is you really want to know about this book. The answer is . . . YES. In spite of all the drama, intrigue, excitement, and the heat of battle –which make this a great series ender, Claudy still creates room for the finer points of love; the sizzling passions that make reading a Conn romance a delectably private affair.
The end, no other two words strike as deep or contain as much horror for the avid reader, especially when they signal the completion of a truly exciting and engaging series. Readers will appreciate knowing that, even as she brings Legend to its completion, Conn opens the doors wide for a range of new paranormal plots and romances. One thing is certain, we haven't seen the last of Claudy Conn or her talent for writing eXtreme seduction.

on March 04, 2012 :
I am soooo sad that I have finished this fae series! I love it so and wish there were even more books!! This book continued the story of Z as well as completing the main story arc started in the first book. What I loved the most about this book is that it connects all of the characters from the first books in this series together. I love seeing strong women come together for a common purpose (do not worry, their men were there too ;)). I am not sure I can say enough about this series. the lore was original, yet familiar enough to not make you uncomfortable with the new components. She pulled characters from different times and places and put them together for a common goal, making very interesting connections/relationships. I just could not put these books down. These books fall into the category of "I know I have them on ebook, but I am going to buy them in book form too because I just can not stop my self". I can not wait to to check out this author's other series!

I am finally moving TheClickers from my trusted Paid to Click sites to Scam Alerts TEMPORARILY. Temporarily only because I am giving them a chance based on what they've explained in their forums. I've trusted TheClickers for the past year I've been with them. I even upgraded my account to Omega. So, I'm still hopeful all the mess they're in now will get fixed.
Because of the following reasons, I am moving TheClickers to Scam Alerts:
- I have requested my payment from them on July 4, 2010. Up to now, my payment has not been sent to me.
Here's a screenshot of that payment request (click to enlarge):
There are a lot of members complaining about non-payment. Some have been waiting since June even. There are also members who claim that they were banned from the forums and got their account suspended after they complained about non-payment. You can read more complaints here and here.
- No new posts from members about non-payment. So, this only means that the complaints about members getting banned after posting a complaint in the forums are true.
- The admins posted an announcement in the forums (read here) that alkinoos is on vacation because he got married last July 31st. They said they'll be back on August 18 or 19. Admin adriana said she's also on vacation and should've been back last August 9th. But, there are no further updates on what's happening with the payment queue.
They said TheClickers is undergoing a redesign and script upgrade. Last time we heard from them was on July 27th. So, I wonder where adriana is now. If they don't post any updates by August 19th, I'll be permanently moving them to my Scam Sites list.
Keep posted for any update regarding TheClickers. I really hope they'll get back on their feet 'cause they're my top Aurora PTC site.
