This cape was made a while back but I always love it for Fall! It has a plaid hood attached to a red cape. The cape inside has red flowers on a white background. This cape is very cute to wear for going to school or doing some outside window shopping. It is cozy and snaps together in the front.
If you would like to purchase this cape or one like it you can message me and I will set up a commission for you to buy it on Etsy.
Thank you again to my beautiful model Ellyn Elaine Chandler!

How to transfer records
- Online transmittal form (if you do not need additional information)
- See instructions here
The University Archives and Records Center accepts records that are created in the fulfillment of Western's mission. This includes:
- The permanent, archival records of Western
Historical records created at Western that document the activities, people, places, and programs that support Western's mission
- The inactive, non-permanent records of Western that still have retention obligation remaining
Records that are not historical but must be retained to satisfy legal, audit, or other requirements before they can be destroyed
To transfer digital records, contact Tony Kurtz at email@example.com or 650-3124.
To transfer non-digital records, use the following options:
- Contact the Archives/Records Center for information about recordkeeping or consult the Records Center "About" page for information about preparing records for transfer
- Access the online transmittal form (new window)
- Watch a short movie about how to use the online form (start movie)
- Read step-by-step instructions on using the form (open PDF document)
- Contact us for any additional help or questions
More About the Archives and Records Center
Why does the name include both "Archives" and "Records Center"? Where exactly do records get transferred?
All records, whether historically important or not, have legal retention requirements related to the function attending their creation. Some records are destroyed at the end of this required retention period, while others are preserved as historical records. A records center stores records temporarily (at some point the records will either be destroyed or transfered into archival custody), whereas an archives stores permanent, historical records. The University Archives and Records Center carries out both functions for WWU.
Archives: Some records possess significant, ongoing historical or legal value and are retained permanently as archival records. In the case of these records, the retention schedule actually legally mandates preservation, not destruction, once the legal retention period has passed. Upon satisfaction of any legal obligations related to the records' original function, archival records are put into the care and custody of the University Archives according to university policy and become part of Western's permanent, historical record. The University Archives preserves those records and makes sure that they are available for reference and research on an ongoing basis. For more information about the archival collection see the University Archives page.
Records Center: The records center stores records that still have retention requirement remaining. During this phase, records remain under the control of the responsible originating office, and records disposition occurs only with the involvement of that office. For more information about the Records Center, consult the Records Center page.
How do records become "archival"?
According to university policy (download PDF), the University Archivist can assign "archival" status to any record created or used at Western to support the institutional mission. This designation often happens as part of a formal retention schedule process, but it can happen at any time and in any context. For more information about how records are determined to be "archival," consult the University Archives Appraisal Guide (download PDF).
The Archives collects archival records in any format--digital, paper, audiovisual, cartographic, etc.--as long as the records have archival designation and were created, used, or maintained by Western in carrying out the institutional mission.
Many records are transferred to Archives as part of a designated disposition process outlined in a records retention schedule, while some are transferred on an ad hoc basis upon request. In either case, Archives staff will coordinate with the office/person who is transferring the records.

2D engine done. Advice on optimisation, please?
Frank C. Wrote:It's fairly painless to change your RGBA data to unsigned byte but non-floating-point UVs require that you scale the texture matrix, which may or may not be worth the effort.
Yeah ...
On the other hand, for my 2d module I let users specify texture coordinates using integer coordinates because most people are more comfortable using pixel coordinates when coding with 2d oriented APIs.
In other words I use something like this:

Last Updated: Friday - 09/24/2010Week of June 28, 2004Become meteorologists of your soulIn ExileBy FR. RON ROLHEISER, omi
"The language of God is the experience God writes inside our lives."- St. John of the Cross |
It's good that our age rejects these false notions of providence because God does not start fires, floods, wars, AIDS or anything else to punish us. God doesn't break anyone's legs. Nature, chance, freedom and brute contingency do. Sometimes, admittedly, sin is involved, but that's not the point. God doesn't send catastrophes to wake us up.
But to say that God doesn't initiate or cause these things is not the same thing as saying that God doesn't speak through them. God speaks through chance events, accidents, both good and bad. Past generations more easily grasped this.
My parents, for example, had a finely-tuned and theologically-correct sense of divine province: They were farmers and, for them, like Abraham and Sarah of old, there were no accidents, only providence and the finger of God. If they had a good harvest, God was blessing them. If they had a poor one, well, they concluded that God wanted them to live on less for awhile and for a good reason. And they would always in the end figure out that reason.
Jesus called this "reading the signs of the times." How do we do this? We do it by becoming meteorologists of soul who read the inner movements of the spirit in the outer weather of history.
In the conspiracy of accidents that make up the ordinary events of our everyday lives, the finger of God is writing and writing large. We are children of Israel, children of Jesus, and children of our mothers and fathers in the faith. We need therefore, like them, to look at each and every event in our lives and ask ourselves the question: "What is God saying to us in this?" The language of God is the experience that God writes inside our lives.
Reading that language is an important form of prayer, one that takes us beyond simply saying prayers to living out the words: "Pray always."
Our mission: To serve our readers by bringing the Gospel to bear on current issues in the Church and in secular culture through accurate news coverage and reflective commentary.

Arizona's SB 1070 is racist to the core
Posted on Monday, August 02, 2010 at 12:29 AM

Say it with me: Arizona's SB 1070 is racist to the core.
Arizona's SB 1070 is about police rounding up people based on their race, despite all the howls of protests of the bill's supporters to the contrary.
That is what it is about. It identifies undesirables based on their ethnicity, nationality and status.
But just try telling that to the Governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer. The mood she (and the GOP) are in these days, she'd probably deport the Statue of Liberty back to France if she had the opportunity.
In angling for her big moment in the national spotlight Brewer has instead turned the floodlights on millions of the most retiring people in our nation: the vulnerable undocumented who live in the shadows whilst all the while living hard productive lives and helping to power our economy.
It's not a fair fight. Brewer's brought out a bulldozer to pluck a daisy.
The bill's defenders shout why should Arizona's taxpayers feed, house and educate the citizens of other countries? But this ignores just how hard those foreign born citizens are working to feed, house and educate themselves.
And the overheated charges of rampant criminality take a beating from the state's actual crime statistics, particularly when you're forced to admit the biggest crime of the year there involved a break out of three caucasian convicts.
Maybe Arizona's police force would spend their precious time better by keeping murderers behind bars rather than being forced to become untrained immigration agents?
And have you actually seen the comments written by so many of the state's own citizens in their online forums? To hear most of them tell it the undocumented have come to America to 'take our jobs, kill our citizens and rape our women.'
Dehumanizing much?
At a Republican County forum recently, in tune with the tenor of the times, primary candidate for Congress Pat Bertroche suggested that we microchip 'illegals.'
Bertroche said, referring to undocumented immigrants who are detained and deported, 'I actually support microchipping them. I can microchip my dog so I can find it. Why can't I microchip an illegal?'
And worst of all it's no secret that the anti-immigrant movement in the United States has long and deep connections to white nationalist individuals and organizations.
White supremacist political parties have made (and have advertised) a donation they made to the fund Brewer set in to prepare for the defense of SB 1070.
Stormfront.org, the biggest white nationalist web forum online, has also called for donations to the SB 1070 defense fund. 'Money where you mouth is time,' they state.
Jan, you might want to take a look at your most ardent supporters. Why? Because money talks, and here's what it's saying - SB 1070 is racist to the core.

Cahir the biggest crime of the year in Arizona was the killing of rancher Robert Krentz by illegals. Corrections are the ones to keep murderers behind bars, police officers are the ones who put them there in the 1st place and will capture them again risking their lives not caring what color they are but to protect the public. And as you state that anti-immigration is white nationalists why have all 11 anti-Mexican attacks on Staten Island been by blacks and the excuse the papers give is that the Mexicans are moving into their neighborhoods and taking their jobs. The American people are the most ardent supporters of this bill not stormfront where you only here about them if you went to there web site to see. So get off your rant and find the facts.

@DennisQ...You wasted a lot of words to get back to the same old discredited argument from the Left: Our opponents are "racist." You can dress it up with all the flowery nonsense you can muster, it all boils down to the same thing. Have you got anything else? Nice attempt at misdirection by introducing the French national anthem to the discussion. Is that your attempt at appearing intellectual? And yes, opponents of open borders definitely appreciate "decent, hard working people who come to America to find work"...as long as they respect the laws of this country and go through the process LEGALLY. Why is that such a difficult concept to grasp by the Left?

If you people have compassion for these illegal aliens you should put pressure on their governments to stop treating them like personal slaves, placing onerous self serving restrictions on new businesses and costing them thousands of dollars in bribes to start up a business in their home country. That is why they have to sneak in here (besides the drug smugglers and thugs) to make half a living for their families. If Vincente Fox wasn't so afraid of sharing some of his billions of riches, Calderon wasn't so protective of his corrupt allies, then these people could have a chance for a good life in their own country and not have to risk their lives sneaking into other countries. I have compassion and want to do something for them. You want to ignore what is going on and let our fellow citizens suffer while you are safe in your non-border residence.

Strip away the political bile from both sides of the issue and you're left with this: If you're here legally, you have nothing to worry about and if you're here illegally, you are a lawbreaker. If the Federal government won't enforce their own laws, Arizona has no choice but to take it upon themselves to protect their borders.

Right wing patriotism is so extreme that they ought to expect some pushback, especially when they presume that White anglo values are American values. Since economic hard times lead to political swings to the right, we're seeing a lot more racism than we usually see. It's wrong of right wingers to act surprised at being accused of racism - much right wing ideology is in fact indistinguishable from racism. For example, the jingoistic French national anthem La Marseillaise calls for watering the fields with the "impure" blood of the invader. The word invader is fairly loaded because of the connotation of evil intent, esp. rape and other forms of subversion - such as drug smuggling. The right wing image of the so-called "illegal" immigrant is distorted to the point of being cartoonish. As Cahir points out, the decent, hard working people who come to America to find work are unrecognizable in the right wing imaginations. There's no question that the stereotypes on which right wingers rely are racist to the core. Signficantly, the right wingers who howl at this characterization haven't denied it in any substantive way. To hear them speak, they are the very soul of rationality!

The Rise and Fall of the Minoans: Crete
Letter from the Lecturer
Dear Fellow Travelers,
The society of the inhabitants of the island of Crete, on the southern border of the Aegean Sea, in the course of the third
and second millennia BC evolved from a simple, locally focused economy to a complex, hierarchial one. The result was
the first "civilization" of Europe centered on a series of elaborate structures with central courts that scholars have labeled as "palaces" of the Minoans.
After the collapse of Minoan hegemony of the island the result of the Mycenaean takeover, the society on the island
gradually evolved into the culture that characterized the island from the 10th century BC onward. Crete was known as the island of the 100 cities. Much later, during the Venetian occupation the island flourished again.
Chania is an attractive Venetian port city. There always has been a settlement of some importance here. The remains of
the town from the Minoan period indicate that there must have been a palace here. The Archaeological Museum showcases the rich archaeological finds of western Crete.
The ancient city of Aptera overlooking Souda Bay provides a glimpse of what a city would look like in the Hellenistic and
Roman periods. In sharp contrast is the cemetery of chamber tombs at Armeni dating to the 13th century BC.
Modern Heraklion, occupies the fortified Venetian city of Candia. The surviving buildings give a sense of the former
wealth of the city. While an new Archaeological Museum is under construction, a temporary exhibition has the most famous Minoan and Greek artifacts and art on view. On the coast at Amnissos is a Neopalatial villa that displays disturbance from the tsunami caused by the eruption of the caldera at Santorini.
The Minoan palace at Knossos as reconstructed by Sir Arthur Evans is one of the highlights of the trip. The Neopalatial
country villa at Vathypetro with its wine press sheds light on the economic base of the Minoan society. At picturesque
Archanes there are more indications of Minoan structures. The nearby Boutari winery will allow us to appreciate the
modern Cretan wines.
To the southwest is the large plain of the Mesara. One of the earliest Minoan palaces is located at Phaistos. Close by at
Agia Triada is large complex associated with the palace. At Gortyn are the impressive remains of the Hellenistic and Roman period city. Heading east, on the north coast is the well-preserved Neopalatial villa of Nirou Khani.
The third Minoan palace of our journey is at Malia. The Venetian fort and town on the islet of Spinalonga near Elounda
was the location of a leper hospital in the earlier 20th century. At Lato we will see the first of three settlements of different periods. The remains of this small city date to the Geometric and Archaic periods. At Gournia a large part of a Neopalatial town with streets, houses and a small palace are exposed. The Early Bronze Age settlement at Vasiliki provides some ideas on how Minoan society evolved into a more complex one in the Middle Bronze Age.
The Archaeological Museum at Siteia contains the most important finds from sites in eastern part of the island. The last
palace of the journey is at Kato Zakros on the east coast. Here besides a small palace are the remains of another Neopalatial settlement. The unique palm forest next to the sea at Vai completes our tour.
In the course of the tour you'll see what constituted the elements of Europe's first "high civilization". At the same time
you have gained some ideas on how society became more complex and why this would happen. The use of architecture,
art and suites of prestigious objects to project power and superiority is central to these processes.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival at Chania
Transfer from the airport to our hotel. Later the same evening, you will get a chance to meet our lecturer for the tour, Professor David W. Rupp, in a welcoming dinner at a restaurant in the old town of Chania.
Overnight: Chania (Dinner)
Day 2: Chania-Aptera-Armeni-Rethymno
Our second day in Crete begins with a visit to the Archaeological Museum at Chania and an exploration of the old part of the city. The old city has preserved to a great extent the distinctive atmosphere and charm of the Venetian and Ottoman periods. Entire Venetian, Turkish and Jewish quarters are saved, with well preserved buildings in the narrow picturesque streets. We will visit the Grand Arsenal, the Egyptian Lighthouse, the Venetian dockyard, walk down the streets and discover the numerous churches and excellent neoclassic buildings. Heading east, we visit the archaeological site at Aptera, near Souda. From Minoan times all the way to the Hellenistic and Roman periods, Aptera was one of the most important city states in Western Crete. Archaeological finds indicate that Aptera at its peak must have at times exceeded a population of 20,000, even though much of the city was destroyed in an earthquake in the 7th century BC. It is not on the main tourist route and so can be investigated in relative peace. Next we visit the Minoan cemetery at Armeni. Over 200 chamber tombs and one tholos tomb have so far been discovered. The chamber tombs are cut into what is quite a hard rock, which explains why they are so well preserved. Among the finds in the tombs were pottery, bronze vessels, tools, jewellery, stone vases, clay larnakes (coffins) decorated with double axes, sacred horns of consecration and scenes of ritual hunting. We stop at the old town of Rethymno, to have lunch at Veneto restaurant, housed in a 14th-century Venetian manor house.
Overnight: Heraklion (Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner)
Day 3: Heraklion
In the morning, we take time to explore the city of Heraklion and especially the still visible remnants of the Venetian period (including the beautiful Venetian harbor). We will visit the old town, named Candia by the Venetians, marked out by the impressive walls that still surround it and that withstood the Ottoman siege in the mid-17th century. We will explore the old town centre that began to take shape under Arab and Byzantine rule, but assumed its present layout during the Venetian period. We will end up at the Chandax square, where the original Ducal Palace was built, along with the official Catholic church dedicated to St. Mark, the Loggia Venetian club, the Palazzo del Capitano Generale (residence of the General) and the Governatore (Governor's mansion). After lunch, we visit the archaeological museum, which contains the most important finds from excavations at Minoan sites all over Crete. The highlights include the Phaestos disk (image on the left), the Snake Goddess, and the Arkalochori Axe.
Overnight: Heraklion (Breakfast-Dinner)
Day 4: Knossos-Vathypetro-Archanes
In the morning, we make our way to the Minoan palace complex at Knossos. The excellently preserved and restored palaces give us great insight into the way of life of Minoan royalty and of Minoan society in general. According to legend, Knossos is the site of the Labyrinth, the mythical structure designed by Daedalus for King Minos and inhabited by the fierce Minotaur. The site was continuously inhabited from the Neolithic period (7000-3000 BC) until Roman times. Intensive habitation occured mostly in the Minoan period, when the so-called first (19th-17th centuries BC) and second palaces (16th-14th centuries BC) were built along with luxurious houses, a hospice and various other structures. After its partial destruction in 1450 BC, Knossos was settled by Mycenaeans from the Greek mainland. We drive south to the Minoan settlements of Vathypetro and Archanes. Vathypetro is a Minoan country house, built during the Neopalatial period (1600-1450 BC), destroyed by fire sometime in the Late Minoan 1B period, and then rebuilt during the late Minoan period (ca 1435-1370 BC). Afterwards we drive to the nearby village of Archanes. Even though it has also been continuously inhabited since Neolithic times, the village reached its peak during the Minoan period, especially 2500-1400 BC when the grand palace was built and rebuilt several times in Archanes following successive destructions. After visiting the lovely museum in the village, we head to the Boutari estate, one of the best wineries in Greece. There we will be able to enjoy a tour by local expert and complete our exploration for the day with a wine tasting session.
Overnight: Heraklion (Breakfast-Dinner)
Day 5: Gortyn-Agia Triada-Phaestos
Our day begins with a visit to the ancient city of Gortyn that rose to prominence in Roman times. It served as the
capital of the Province of Crete and Cyrene after the Roman conquest of the region in 67 BC. We then drive to the
nearby site of Agia Triada, where we will examine the 'Little Palace' and several early Minoan tholos tombs. The existence of a smaller palace or villa has led some to argue that this might have served as a 'summer palace' for the 'King of Phaestos'. The numerous important finds at the site include Linear A tablets and clay sealings, indicative of a local bureaucracy, as well as wall paintings and stone-carved vases. The tour continues to the nearby famous Minoan palace at Phaestos. The Palace of Phaestos with its superb architectural composition and its almost perfect construction, is considered to be the finest and most typical of all Minoan palaces. The ruins of the old and new palace are preserved today, the former having been protected under a shed. After our tour of the sites of Southern Crete, we enjoy lunch at a lovely seaside taverna at Kalamaki beach, which offers excellent seafood.
Overnight: Heraklion (Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner)
Day 6: Amnisos-Nirou Khani-Malia
This morning we begin our tour of eastern Crete. First, we visit the Minoan site at Amnisos, mentioned as a-mi-mi-so in the Linera B tablets. The main monument in the site is the 'Villa of the Lilies', which used to be two storeys high, with the structure of a typical Minoan villa. Further down the road to Agios Nikolaos, we stop at the Minoan villa at Nirou Khani. It is a luxurious villa, two storeys high, built of large ashlar blocks. The villa was probably built in the 16th century BC and it has been interpreted as a High Priest's house, due to the numerous ceremonial vessels it contained. We then drive to the coastal town of Malia to visit the nearby Minoan palace. The palace found at Malia is the third largest palace of Minoan Crete after Knossos and Phaestos. Houses of a Prepalatial settlement (2500-2000 BC) have been found under the palace, while graves of the same period are located near the sea. The first palace was built in around 2000-1900 BC and the pre-existing settlement were converted into a palatial center-city. Later in the day we arrive at the Minos Palace resort near Agios Nikolaos where we have free time to enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the beach.
Overnight: Agios Nikolaos (Breakfast-Dinner)
Day 7: Spinalonga-Lato-Gournia
The day includes visits to the sites at Spinalonga, Lato, Gournia. First, we drive to Elounda bay and travel by boat to the small island of Spinalonga, site of an impregnable Venetian fortress and, later, a leper colony (popularized by Victoria Hislop's best seller). In the 1970s Spinalonga was declared a protected archaeological area. Excavations began, the buildings of the Leper hospital were pulled down and the walls of the fortress were restored. Lato was one of the most important Doric city-states in Crete, although it must have existed before the 'Coming of the Dorians'. It is built on a saddle between two hills, at a site protected by possible attacks but also with a splendid view over a large area of the Mirambello Bay. It is possibly mentioned in the Linear B tablets as ra-to. Gournia, the ancient name of which is not known, is the most characteristic of the excavated medium-size settlements. Dated to the period of the peak of the Minoan culture (late Minoan I period: 1550-1450 BC), it is called 'Pompeii of Minoan Crete' because of the good state of preservation. It occupies a low hill, close to the sea, at the Isthmus of Hierapetra.
Overnight: Agios Nikolaos (Breakfast-Dinner)
Day 8: Kato Zakros-Siteia-Vai
We begin the day by driving toward the eastern coast of Crete and the ancient site of Zakros. The palace at Kato Zakros is the fourth in terms of size, among the Minoan palaces. It was located at an advantageous strategic position, at a protected bay, and was the centre of commercial exchange with the countries of the East.The palace at Zakros has two main building phases: the old palace was built around 1900 BC, and the new one around 1600 BC but was destroyed c. 1450 BC along with the other centers of Minoan Crete. Then we head towards the coastal town of Siteia where we will visit the local museum. The Siteia Archaeological Museum is one of the best museums in Crete, with finds from the wider area of Lassithi and Sitia Province, including the finds from the palace at Kato Zakros. Our final stop will be the palm forest of Vai, one of the most popular sites in the whole of Crete. It now covers an area of approximately 250,000 square metres, making it the largest palm forest in Europe. The beach and palm forest of Vai is also fascinating for its biodiversity, as many migrating birds stop here on their voyage to and from Africa. You will have the chance to take a swim or just relax by the beach or the local restaurant before heading back to our resort at Agios Nikolaos.
Overnight: Agios Nikolaos (Breakfast-Dinner)

§ Bill, as amended, considered.
New Clause—
In page 11, after Clause 4, insert the following Clauae:—
§ (Exception of money invested in computing annual maximum.)
Where in any Savings Bank year any sums not deposited for immediate investment are invested by any Savings Bank authority, on the request of the depositor, in any Government Stock, any sums previously deposited in that year by such depositor shall not, except so far as they exceed in the aggregate the sums so invested, be reckoned in computing the maximum amount which is allowed to be deposited in that year,"—(Mr. Raikes,)
§ —brought up, and read the first time.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause be read a second time."
§ MR. CONYBEARE (Cornwall, Camborne)I beg to move that the debate be now adjourned. We have had no Notice of this new clause, and it is rather too much to ask us to enter upon the discussion now.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Debate be now adjourned."—(Mr. Conybeare.)
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)I may say the clause has been on the Paper two days, and I think the hon. Member will find there is no objection to it, and a general opinion that the Bill should become law as soon as possible.
§ MR. CONYBEAREThe right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the House has told us it is too late to proceed with other Business.
§ MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)The clause has general assent. It carries out the proposal urged in the Memorial I sent this Session to the Postmaster General, signed by more than 100 Members, to encourage people to invest their savings in Consols. I hope the hon. Member will not persist in his Motion, or if he does, that the Government 'will persevere.
§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)After the remarks of the right hon. Gentleman that it is too late to go on with other Business, we certainly must insist on an adjournment.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Debate adjourned till To-morrow.

Well I'm back! Finally! I'm sorry for being so quiet lately—school got so busy these past few weeks, I barely had time to breathe! But now that's done and over with and I only have to worry about one take home final exam due the 16th and a sit-in final exam on the 18th. THEN if all goes well and I pass all my classes, I'll officially be an university graduate!!
Which is why I'm super excited to share with you all the books I plan on reading this winter. Because I'll actually have the time! (My Fall list fell WAY flat.) So here are the books I can't wait to start reading:
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling: I haven't picked these books up since the last film came out, so it's high time I immerse myself in my favourite world again. I miss Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley and The Burrow. I do plan on dedicating a couple of weeks to this series, quite happily!
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey: I've been wanting to get this book forever, and now that snow is on the ground, it's just the perfect time to start reading it.
Allegiant by Veronica Roth: Filip bought me this final book for my birthday and I haven't had time to start it, so I can't wait to open it up. I've heard many good and bad things about the book but still haven't read any spoilers (go me!), so I'm excited to see what my thoughts are.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: I wanted to read this book before the movie came out, but that never happened. So I really need to read it this winter and watch the movie when it comes out on DVD.
Graceling by Kristin Cashore: Again, I've heard really great things about this book and I'm in a fantasy/adventure kick, so it seems like a great book to begin.
Marley and Me by Josh Grogan: I like a good cry, and who doesn't like to cry over the holidays?
The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert and The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey: I've one of Penguin Canada's newest Star Bloggers, and as such, I need to read both these books before the end of the month. Think I can do it?
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson: After the weep-fest I'm sure will be Marley and Me, I know I'll need a good laugh. And my friend promised me that this book is hilarious.
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer: The same friend who recommended the above book to me as sworn that Between the Lines is basically written for me. So now I HAVE to read it!
What books are on your winter TBR list?

Simple, beautiful websites. We understand creative businesses and startups need to keep it simple but still want their website to give them an edge and show off their work. So we base each website we produce on a simple setup and create a unique design for each business.
Take a look at some recent examples:
Custom website design pricing
As a guide, bespoke business websites can cost from £1,000 (basic needs) to £2,000 (typical needs) and upwards, depending on what you require.
This may seem like a lot if you're just starting out. But just like with your own business, good quality, well thought out work that fulfils customer needs and makes you feel proud takes time.
If you don't have that kind budget we could still work together – if you are willing to be realistic with your expectations and requirements. Our aim is to strike a balance on every project, between your available budget and delivering a top quality design.
Free holding page
We always want to help startups get off the ground, so we're offering a free website holding page for customers who commission a startup brand or logo design with us.
Website reviews
We can also help you improve your current website. We have a service called Website Wake Up to give you improvement ideas.

Readers have noted our fondness for animal pictures. More recently, they've detected our penchant for photographs of swimmers in China who brave near-freezing water. (See the shows of Nov. 12, Dec. 7, Dec. 22 and Jan. 4, among others.) Today, with Slide 11, we have merged these interests.

NTSC NTSC stands for National Television System Committee, which devised the NTSC television broadcast system in 1953. NTSC is also commonly used to refer to one type of television signal that can be recorded on various formats such as DVD, VHS, 3/4" U-matic and Betacam. The NTSC standard has a fixed vertical resolution of 525 horizontal lines stacked on top of each other, with varying amounts of "lines" making up the horizontal resolution, depending on the electronics and formats involved. There are 59.94 fields displayed per second. A field is a set of even lines, or odd lines. The odd and even fields are displayed sequentially, thus interlacing the full frame. One full frame, therefore, is made of two interlaced fields, and is displayed about every 1/30 of a second. NTSC countries are: USA, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Burma, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Greenland, Guam, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, St. Kitts, Saipan, Samoa, Surinam, Taiwan, Tobago, Trinidad, Venezuela, Virgin Islands.

Catholic Roots Mormon Harvest
Friday, 15 May 2009
by LDS Resources
I'm always intrigued at the conversion of others. Many years ago, I had the opportunity to meet Marvin Goldstein and hear his conversion story as being a Jew who converted not only to Christianity, but to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What an uplifting spiritual experience it was to hear his testimony.

They sounded to me, and still sound, like the musical offshoot of Lynyrd Skynyrd mixed with the vocals of the Black Crowes. I could imagine them playing in the middle of a grassy field, surrounded by lazy couples necking on blankets and drinking beer sometime in the mid-1970s. Although I've only ever seen them indoors at night time, that's how their music feels to me and how I still hope to see it played someday.
I thought the show sounded great, but I was a little disappointed when the drummer, Chris Mendez-Vanacore, confirmed for me after the show that there had indeed been a personnel change since 2007, and that one of the original guitar players and the bass player had both moved on. Although their replacements blended with the band musically, they weren't as well-synched as their predecessors in either appearance or physicality. (One of the band's many charms when I first came across them was that the bass player and guitar players would occasionally step forward and move in synchronized bobs a-la-KISS.)
The other minor disappointment for me was that "Delilah," one of my favorite of their songs, wasn't on the playlist. I was delighted, however, when the crowd joined in on "Isabel," and I was relieved to have started recording before I knew I was catching what turned out to be a major highlight of the show.
If you like Southern Rock, and you like it done well, I'd really recommend checking these guys out. They're based in San Diego, so they play in Southern California a lot, but they've also got some pretty awesome dates lined up in the coming weeks/months, including a spot at this year's Lollapalooza.
I decided, too, that I had to include this little video I captured of my co-contributor, Rob, updating his facebook status with his iPhone during the show. :)

Character name: Garrok-Guardian. Lvl-30-esque. I am looking for a guild that suits my play style so I don't get fussed at by a bunch of elitist, schedule raiders who think I should drop my life to raid. lol I am a full-time scholarship student at my college, and I work 5 days a week at a serving job. I love the feel of this server, and the fact that it's not crowded. Started back in closed beta, I obviously progress slowly. (seeing as I played at time of launch) Basically looking for a guild that:
Is casual
Has a good number of players
Enjoys PvP/PvP trolling
Isn't offended by vulgar, sometimes very vulgar language, sometimes...racist, sexist, or otherwise completely unacceptable language.
And Isn't an RP guild
Yes, I know this is an RP server. I enjoy being in an RP server for the lulz, but I think it is too neckbeardish for my liking.
If by somechance anyone has a guild like this, hit me up! Gets boring on this server sometimes with no one around.

RAZZAK, Junaid A. and KELLERMANN, Arthur L.. Emergency medical care in developing countries: is it worthwhile?. Bull World Health Organ [online]. 2002, vol.80, n.11, pp. 900-905. ISSN 0042-9686. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0042-96862002001100011.
Prevention is a core value of any health system. Nonetheless, many health problems will continue to occur despite preventive services. A significant burden of diseases in developing countries is caused by time-sensitive illnesses and injuries, such as severe infections, hypoxia caused by respiratory infections, dehydration caused by diarrhoea, intentional and unintentional injuries, postpartum bleeding, and acute myocardial infarction. The provision of timely treatment during life-threatening emergencies is not a priority for many health systems in developing countries. This paper reviews evidence indicating the need to develop and/or strengthen emergency medical care systems in these countries. An argument is made for the role of emergency medical care in improving the health of populations and meeting expectations for access to emergency care. We consider emergency medical care in the community, during transportation, and at first-contact and regional referral facilities. Obstacles to developing effective emergency medical care include a lack of structural models, inappropriate training foci, concerns about cost, and sustainability in the face of a high demand for services. A basic but effective level of emergency medical care responds to perceived and actual community needs and improves the health of populations.

Rumor: Xbox Live free from July 1st |
Listed in: News Tags: gold account, Microsoft, psn, xbla, xbox live
It must be hard to break news on April Fool's Day, especially if you're a big video game company. It seems a leaked press release has lead to people questioning whether Microsoft will go down the route of basic membership. So yesterday it came to light that for the remainder of the Xbox 360 life cycle access to the Xbox Live Network will come at no cost beginning this July 1st.
While some people are saying it's too good to be true, Microsoft isn't letting you off that easy because a gold membership will still be required to access extra features like Facebook, YouTube and Crackle. The main thing is that gameplay will be free for all users bringing the network's offerings on par with the PSN price wise, however with the cost now removed this puts the Xbox live network miles ahead of the competition.
So what do you think? Awesomeness on Microsoft's part or elaborate April Fool's Day ruse?
Via [StickyTrigger]
80% of voters think this story ROCKS! |
You should compare it to PSN or SEN(Sony Entertainment Network) as I believe they are calling it now days , and what I think they mean is that Xbox Live has always been superior to PSN/SEN, and is (if this isn't not an April fools joke) even better now
Don't you dare to think Sony will always provide free online gaming because that's possibly gonna change.
The biggest con on xbox live and the idiots who pay for it defend it, pretending they are paying for servers. What a joke. Get a job and live in the real world instead of using your pocket money or your parents to pay for shit, then you'll know how much of a stinger paying for Xbox live can be when you got bills to pay.
They don't charge on PC game servers. Anyone can hop on a game of pretty much any FPS they don't charge squat to play online. So why should they charge on Xbox? It's been free for like ever on the PC!
With the amount people already pay for consoles and games, online gaming should be free from day one.
Especially seeing as MS have stuck adverts on the dashboard!
What do I need with Facebook and YouTube? I have a computer!
Besides, you can pick up year-long cards for like $30 if you look around before you buy.
I'm just wondering why they are doing it on July 1st(that is, if this is real.)
£2 for 2 Gold months = Win for me!
I wreck the shit out of the players who hate dirty wankers like myself.
Angry gamer shouting: "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN' RETARD"
Xbox360- Pay 60.00 for a yr...
Pay 60 for a game.
The price for that game is then accumulated total so lets take CoD MW3...
Xbox servers...
Kept up on minimal lag fast downloads and loads of demos add-ons updates...
That is paid by the 6000000000 people that paid 60 stank ass little dollars per year and then every game that you may want.
PS3 servers. Pay 60 for a game online servers just good enough to play with but lagfest city. Downloads take EONS for just a simple update...
6 hours to update DC universe. WTF...
2 hrs for ff7 to download. Thats only 3 gbs max they were 700MB cds 3 cds 2800 MB 2.8GB 2 Hrs?.

Diapers Depends
Diapers Depends
The Advantages of Cloth Diapers
Cloth diapers fell out of favor for a few decades after disposable diapers hit the market, but in the last several years they are quickly gaining popularity again. There are many reasons that today's moms love cloth diapers, and with new styles and a better fit, there isn't any reason to not use them. In fact, cloth diapers can be just as convenient, and are often more comfortable than the disposables.
One of the most obvious reasons to consider cloth diapers is their cost. You can save hundreds of dollars by using cloth instead of the more expensive disposable diapers. Although the initial cost of cloth diapers is higher, you can use them over and over and the cost of washing them is minimal. If you invest in enough cloth diapers to get you through a few days, you have enough to last the year. They're also more convenient – simply do your diaper laundry on a regular basis and you'll never have to run to the corner store again because you've run out of diapers in the middle of the night!
Mothers who use cloth diapers on their children rarely have to contend with diaper rash because cloth diapers breathe. Disposable diapers, on the other hand, trap and hold moisture next to the skin. They are waterproof on the outside and the skin can't breathe, so diaper rashes are more common. In warm weather, a baby in a breathable cloth diaper is less likely to get prickly heat.
Babies have extremely sensitive skin, and keeping chemicals, perfumes and other irritants away from their skin is important. Children also tend to have less chemical sensitivity as they grow older if they aren't constantly exposed to chemical irritants as babies. Unfortunately, nearly all disposable diapers use a variety of chemicals to enhance their absorption ability. Cloth diapers are usually made of cotton or wool, which are both soft, natural materials that soothe the skin without irritation.
Parents who use cloth diapers also tend to be able to potty train their children more quickly. Because cloth diapers don't have moisture-absorbing additives, children can quickly sense when they are wet and will be more receptive to potty training. Babies in cloth diapers are also usually changed into a clean diaper more quickly because parents can easily tell when the diaper is damp, which leads to less diaper irritation.
Cloth Diapers and the Environment
Today's parents are environmentally aware and most of them hate the idea of putting hundreds of used, disposable diapers into our landfills. Sadly, disposable diapers are often the most common item taking up space in landfills, and they take generations to biodegrade because they're made from artificial materials. Because they contain body wastes, they can contaminate nearby ground soil with urine and feces. Cloth diapers, on the other hand, are washed and reused rather than ending up in landfills. You flush away any waste before washing, so that the waste is properly handled by a septic or sewage system, and laundering them with biodegradable, environmentally friendly detergents makes them an even better ecological choice.
Some parents who haven't tried cloth diapers have the mistaken notion that they are more difficult to use. They remember the bulky, awkward squares of cloth that had to be properly folded, pinned into place and then covered with uncomfortable plastic pants. But today's cloth diapers are nothing like the kind your mother or grandmother used. Today's cloth diapers feature snap closures and adjustable Velcro fasteners for a comfortable fit and easy changing. You can get separate diaper covers made of cotton or wool, or use all-in-one cloth diapers, depending on what is convenient for you. Most cloth diapers are pre-folded and form fitting so there's no need to fuss with trying to fold them properly, and many are available with cloth liners for easy cleaning and added wetness protection.
Disposable diapers are becoming less popular each year as more and more parents realize that cloth diapers offer the best fit, value and comfort for their children.

Would it be tacky to wear my Depends diaper under a pair of Speedos at the resort beach?
Of course it's ok. After all, the Depends are absorbent, as in they swell up when full. Now then, what would look nicer under a Speedo than a full package? Go with it!

Forecast: Much cooler air surging into Ohio
CLEVELAND - Want to see your pictures comments on NewsChannel5 ? Follow me on Twitter here , then Tweet me your comments! For photos, Like my Facebook
10:00 pm Update: Rain is out of the state now! There could still be a random shower or snow flurry tonight along the lakeshore in Lake & Ashtabula Counties. Temperatures have fallen a good 20 degrees from our early morning highs. We'll see temperatures falling into the lower and middle 30s by 11pm in most spots. Grab the warm coats!
Low temperatures tonight will drop down into the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. Most of tonight should be dry. However, just before sunrise, a weak trough of low pressure is expected to drop across Lake Erie. This will likely stir up an west to east oriented band of Lake effect rain & snow from Northern Lorain County, east through Cuyahoga, Lake, & Geauga Counties thru Tuesdays rush hour. Snow totals will be light maybe a tenth of an inch or so on grassy surfaces. Still, the precipitation could slow down your morning commute. Skies should become mostly sunny during the afternoon. Highs will only creep up into the upper 30s. Brrr!
We should be cool and dry both Wednesday and Thursday as high temperatures move back up into the lower and middle 40s.
Follow Jason on Facebook and Twitter for more updates!
Update: Rain is racing east, with some snow flakes in west central Ohio. Winds are gusting into the 30s, and temps are falling into the 30s in Toledo.
Update: Temps will begin falling through the afternoon. From the upper 50s into the low 40s by dinner.
Update: Line of heavy rain and gusty winds moving through central Cuyahoga and western Medina. Winds could gust to near 40mph, power outages are possible.
Update: Rain is approaching a line from downtown Cleveland along I-77 south to Akron. This line will continue east through the rest of the morning. Expect winds gusting to 35mph until early afternoon.
Update: Still in the 60s this morning as winds gust as high as 32mph.
The warm weekend weather is now gone. Strong winds will continue through much of the day with gusts as high as 45 mph. Along with the wind, I'm tracking rain pushing through Ohio. I don't anticipate any thunder with this but steady rain will spread east through the day today and linger through much of the evening. Plan for a wet day teaming up with much cooler air surging in.
Temperatures this morning are in the lower 60s, as the morning rolls on we will drop into the 50s and eventually 40s by sunset. Despite the dry warm start to the day, be sure to pack the coats and umbrellas for the 2nd half of the day. Temps early Tuesday will be in the lower 30s and upper 20s giving us a good shot as a few flurries to start the day.
As the rain pushes east and out of Ohio, winds will shift to the west. This will spark a lake effect rain/snow band or two early Tuesday morning. Areas in the primary snowbelts of Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula Counties should plan for minor accumulations as you head out Tuesday morning. The active weather will shut down after sunrise Tuesday as we level off in the 40s the rest of the work-week.

A video of a little girl tap dancing is getting some hits online. But it's not because she's particularly GOOD. It's because she basically ignores the choreography, makes up her own moves, has a BLAST, and the crowd loves it.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stepped up criticism of the "inaction" of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in the face of the enduring crises in different parts of the world and particularly in Syria, where a bloody civil war killed nearly 110,000 people over the past two years Today`s Zaman reported
Erdogan struck a critical tone towards the United Nations as he accuses the international organization of having an unfair system of representation and decision making, an entrenched feature of the body that appears as a stumbling block against any viable solution to the intractable Syrian crisis given the veto power of five permanent members.
'What is the UN for [if it can't solve major problems the world faces]?', Erdogan asked, speaking at an event in İstanbul on Monday. The Turkish prime minister apparently expressed his frustration over the inaction of the UN Security Council regarding the Syrian conflict, which raises concerns of a regional conflagration amid signs of spillover of the crisis into the neighboring countries.
Erdogan has reiterated his previous suggestion regarding rotating membership for producing effective outcomes rather than stillborn results.
At the event, Erdogan raised the topic of Syria and the UNSC along with domestic issues. Criticizing the world body's structure, the prime minister said the UN's dependence on the five permanent security council members for decisions amounts to "oppression."
Saying he believes in the "World is bigger than five" campaign [referring to the five permanent members of the UNSC] launched by independent pro-democracy civil society organization the Young Civilians (Genç Siviller), Erdogan suggested that the 15 members of the UNSC rotate evenly and that the decisions of such a body shouldn't be cancelled because of the veto of one country.
"We have always said that if there is a UN Security Council that consists of 15 members, these members should change regularly. [The resolutions] shouldn't be cancelled by one member's veto. It [a resolution] should be canceled by majority vote. Now, the UNSC couldn't give a decision [on Syria], and the main reason for this is two of its members [Russia and China]. Why are we obliged to have this [veto], why is humanity required to have this?" Erdogan continued.

IF only American families saved for retirement the way the lagging Democratic candidates are running for president. Whoever takes the oath of office next January, whether President Bush or a Democrat, might then have an easier time dealing with some of the nation's biggest domestic problems.
Instead, households and candidates are offering two different lessons in how people can trip themselves up when they face what economists call ''intertemporal choice.'' The rest of us tend to think of such decisions, which are essentially choices between doing something now or later, in terms of aphorisms: ''A penny saved is a penny earned,'' versus ''Do not put off until tomorrow what can be done today.''
For the last month, Democratic candidates other than Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts have been saving their pennies, skipping some primaries to focus their energies on others down the road. Mr. Kerry has benefited from this romanticizing of the future and can move close to the nomination with a victory on Tuesday in Wisconsin, where polls show him comfortably ahead.

"Big Times was born from the experience of a particular atmosphere, typical of a place which many of us has lived and inhabited during our adolescence: an empty school gym, the neon lights coloring the walls, a bored boy walking around carelessly.
As the hours were slowly passing and the sound of the soles shuffling on the pavement were echoing between the walls, probably no one was aware of it, of the greatness of the details, of the moment itself.
Yeah, big times."

Nationally acclaimed alt-folk trio Forbidden Joe are touring their debut album In Mourning for the Pride of Petravore throughout New Zealand during April, May and June 2010 and are coming to a venue near you!
In Mourning for the Pride of Petravore is a natural follow on from their light and quirky EP, the independently released Oh, What a Queer Sensation(2008) which is representative of their earlier work, and shows how the trio's sound has progressed to encompass a darker, more mysterious cabaret sound. Their repertoire makes for an energy laden night of quirky, mysterious and unusual folk.
The Auckland based group released their full length album on April 16th, heralding the first performance at the Victoria Theatre in Devonport, Auckland, open to the public since the building fell into disrepair. Their tour covers 15 towns, stopping at some favourite haunts and some new along the way.
Gigs will feature their signature intimate, cabaret-style performances where the Joes delve into anything from dark mysterious ballads and driving tune sets to humorous, bawdy jazz numbers that showcase their unique take on folk in all its forms.
The much anticipated album was recorded in the historic theatre during February 2010. Set against the polarities of lush back-lit stage curtains, peeling plaster, great chandelier and vast acoustics, and surrounded by relics of yesterday's screenings, the trio worked intensively to produce an album that captured their own unique take on folk music, with acclaimed sound engineer Steve Garden of Rattle Records and talented musical guests to complement their sound. In Mourning for the Pride of Petravore showcases the band's musical journey from their earliest works through to their latest most driving set of tunes and songs.

Chaplains at the winter Olympics
The Salt Lake Tribune writes about the ministry of chaplains at the winter Olympics.
Kristen Moulten writes:
Every Olympics has its small cadre of chaplains whose job is to tend to the spiritual needs of athletes. But rarely does that care confront the big issues -- life and death -- as it did in Vancouver just hours before the 2010 Opening Ceremony.Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, 21, died Feb. 12 during a practice run when he lost control of his sled and slammed into a steel pole at 90 mph.
The Rev. David Wells, who leads the interfaith team of chaplains at the athletes' Olympic Villages in Vancouver and Whistler, said his first action was to confirm his hunch that the fallen luger was Russian Orthodox.
His second was to find the priest who could comfort Kumaritashvili's teammates. It turned out that the Orthodox priest accompanying the Russian team was willing and stepped into the role of chaplain for the Georgian athletes.
Chaplains who speak Russian were posted in the multifaith centers in each of the two villages and remembrance books were set up in separate memorial rooms for those who dropped by.
Moulten talked to the Rev. Caryl Marsh, an Episcopal priest who served as a chaplain during the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City and helped provide 24-hour coverage at the Olympic Village's interfaith house.
Besides private rooms for prayer and meditation, there was a living room with coffee and cookies at interfaith house, which had walls painted with such words as "unity," "peace," "harmony" and "love." A chapel across the street staged religious services for various denominations."Mostly what we did was hang around and be available [in case] they just wanted somebody to talk to," remembers Marsh, who was one of 30 chaplains.
