The extended shopping hours marathon is back at Toys R Us and Macy's. Toys R Us will be open for 87 hours straight, starting at 6 a.m. Saturday and closing at 9 p.m. Christmas Eve. Macy's will be open for extended hours at all of its stores in the Columbus area, from 7 a.m. until 2 a.m. starting Friday and continuing through Dec. 24, when Columbus stores will close at 6 p.m. In addition, Kohl's will be open for 108 straight hours, from 6 a.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Christmas Eve.
Global auto sales are poised to leap from 82 million this year to more than 100 million by 2018, according to analysts from IHS Automotive. Nearly all of this staggering increase will be outside of North America, signaling a continuing shift in the auto industry's center of gravity.
IHS analysts made the comments Monday at an event for the auto media.
"Globally we are looking at an additional 21 million units of production to meet demand," said Mike Jackson, director of North American auto sales forecasting for IHS, quoted by The Detroit Free Press.
To meet the rise in demand, North American assembly plants are on track to increase their exports, including the Honda plants in Marysville and East Liberty. So, even if U.S. sales do not keep pace with the world, American workers will be doing a disproportionate share of the manufacturing.
The Columbus economy has reached a post-recession high on a state index meant to forecast economic growth.
The local economy received a score of 105.7 in September, up 0.2 percent from August, according to the state.

External Thunderbolt drive to older Firewire Mac adaptor???
Sounds like from the good information on this forum that this adaptor cannot connect an external Thunderbolt drive to an older Firewire Mac.
Given this, does anyone know of an adaptor that will allow one to do this?
This would obviously be useful to those of us with a new iMac in one location and older macs in another where we would like to transfer data between the two using an external Thunderbolt drive.

With the use of the Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter, can I attach a FireWire drive, or even a FireWire chain of drives, to a Thundebolt drive?
I have an existing chain of two FireWire hard drives, currently attached directly to the FireWire port of an iMac. And I want to add a Thunderbolt drive soon, too, using the Thunderbolt port. But the newest iMacs don't have any FireWire port. So I want to be able to use both types of drive with the newest, and presumably future, Macs.

Check back for dates and locations of the 20 Town Tour!
Contact Brenda Cooper, Women's Ministry Director for Colorado, with questions or for more information at email@example.com or (970) 768-0402.
Dear Colorado Baptist women,
Between fire and flood, we in Colorado have faced some tough times! Dennis Belz, CBGC Disaster Relief Coordinator, spoke at Hillside Baptist Church, Greeley, on September 4th as part of our Colorado Missions Offering emphasis. It could not have been a more timely presentation.
I am currently serving as the State Women's Ministries Director and WMU Executive Director. My Husband Charlie and I live in Weldona, Colorado and are members of Summit Baptist Church. We have two grown children and three grandchildren.
By Kaylee Looney
Rachel Van Gorder attended the Flourish event, A Day to Equip Ministry Wives, at Vanguard Church not fully knowing what to expect, but looking forward to getting some practical tips as well as the opportunity to be around other pastors' wives.
In 1955 Nicy Murphy, a young, single woman from Oklahoma, became a pioneer servant among Southern Baptists in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
The Colorado Baptist General Convention was organized in 1956 and Nicy Murphy served as the first director of Woman's Missionary Union for the five-and-a-half-state convention. She raised the banner of mission education and missionary support throughout the growing convention. She gave leadership to teaching new believers and young churches the value of being on mission where they lived and extending their influence to all parts of the world.
Flourish, the new ministry to pastor's wives from the North American Mission Board, will host two equipping days for ministry wives. The first event will be held on Jan 26, 2013 at Vanguard Church in Colorado Springs. The second opportunity will be on Feb. 2, 2013 at Applewood Baptist Church in Wheat Ridge. The times will be 9am-3:30pm at each location and the conference will be identical at each location.

Ambitions . . . they keep you going, but they can go bad. Several years ago I was skimming the newspaper and my eyes caught a headline, AMBITION TOO OFTEN OUTSTRIPS EXECUTION. I have to be honest and say that I did not read any further and I didn't get the author's name because the title hit me between the eyes. In fact, I stopped immediately, grabbed the closest pair of scissors and cut out that headline and taped it to my desk, just over my laptop. As I am writing this blog, I am looking at the slightly faded and brittle news clipping that has saved my credibility more than once.
So Long, Insecurity: You've Been a Bad Friend to Us by Beth Moore Tyndale House Publishers, February 2010 368 pp., $14.99
There's a growing trend of churches starting girls' ministry due to the overwhelming need to speak into the lives of young ladies needing guidance through the unique problems of womanhood.
Pam Gibbs, Lifeway Girls' Ministry Specialist, recently shared at Define weekend, about the needs of girls and how churches can effectively reach them. "Many of you are already doing a girls' ministry. Anytime you are intentional about meeting the needs of teen girls, that's girls' ministry."
She explained that a girls' ministry is a part of the church's ministry to not only the girls, but to parents and leaders as well. Ministry can be incorporated anywhere girls are and should involve discipleship, in addition to, just fun.
If you follow statistics about teen girls today, they are not pretty. The numbers include anything from dieting and eating disorders to poor self-image, cutting issues and everything in between. Girls, right here in Colorado have to deal with real problems. CHRISTIAN girls, right here in Colorado have to deal with REAL problems.
Recently, I was invited to speak at a women's ministry meeting at Arapahoe Road Baptist Church. The theme for our meeting was: "Sowing and Reaping in northeastern Colorado". As I was preparing for my missions presentation, the Lord led me to John 4:34-37: "My food, said Jesus, is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
There's no greater wisdom gained than by reading God's Word. However, the next best thing is gaining wisdom from seasoned servants. We asked several Colorado Women Ministry Leaders for their top tip on leadership and here's what they said:
"Send cards out to the women of the church to let them know that someone is thinking of them." Kaye Simon, Lochwood Christian Fellowship in Lakewood
"Get a great team of volunteers of varied ages and talents and PRAY about everything." Marcy Stoddard, Mississippi Avenue, Aurora
"Get your job description in writing." Jenny E. Schappaugh, Trinity Baptist Church
There are some wonderful websites that provide various training articles and resources for women's ministry leaders.

It's no secret that lining your eyes especially if you're Asian makes them appear larger. Chicago-based makeup artist Joyce Taft, who has dolled up everyone from Cate Blanchett to Demi Moore and even Bono (that's right!), says applying liquid liner to Asian eyes is especially important because it creates an optical illusion typically, Asian eyelids are smaller, and the eyes are somewhat inset.
Remove and prime: Thoroughly wash and dry your face. Remove any residue from around the eye area. Apply an eye primer, such as F.Y. Eye Nude Primer by Benefit to eyelids. (It provides a smooth base so liner can better adhere.)
Absorb oil: Lightly dust the eyelid with translucent blotting powder to further prime skin, absorb oil, and provide a matte finish.
Line it up: Apply waterproof liquid eyeliner in a thick, continuous line using a mirror with at least 10 times magnification. Cover the whole lid. Extend the line slightly beyond the lid and upward just past the outer corner of the lash line in the evening, but stop the line at the end of the lid during the day. Plum and raisin tones tend to be the most flattering eyeliner colors against Asian skin tones. Taft says, "Never apply a thin line to Asian eyes." She notes, "A thick line actually ends up appearing fine because of the way Asian eyes are shaped."
One size doesn't fit all: There are many ethnicities of Asian women. Understandably, one approach will not work for all. Women with eyes that slant slightly downward should extend eyeliner all the way to the end of the lid and bring it a little upward to open the eye. By contrast, those whose eyes slant upward need only draw the liner to the end of the lid.
Practice makes perfect: Since using liquid eyeliner can be challenging, Taft recommends trying it on the back of your hand several times before moving on to the eye itself. "It's very important to use waterproof eyeliner. Otherwise, it tends to run into the eyebrows of Asian women," Taft says. There is no easy right and wrong answer when it comes to where, exactly, to begin lining Asian eyes. Some women benefit from whole-lid lining, while others need eyeliner at the outer corners only. Experiment to find what works best for you.
Keep the germs away: Hygiene is extremely important in regard to the eye area. It's best to apply eyeliner with a disposable applicator. Liquid eyeliner should be disposed of and replenished every three months even if it has only been used once!

Hassan relies on 'common sense' NH to get through
"We have been closely monitoring the storm as it has strengthened, and the expected snow totals have now reached levels where a state of emergency is needed to allow for the mobilization of additional resources and to access any federal assistance that may become available," Hassan said in a statement.
Hassan had held off declaring a state of emergency when she held a press conference about the state's response to the storm at 1:30 p.m. Friday, when the state was experiencing light snowfalls.
But by 5 p.m. Friday, with snow falling harder, Hassan issued the declaration, which effectively allows state emergency response workers to employ any resource necessary to deal with the storm and any damage.
Hassan asked that residents stay off roads after 7 p.m. Friday, but stopped short of the order given by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, who banned all traffic statewide as of 4 p.m. Friday, with exceptions for emergency workers, utility companies, delivery trucks and news media. Anyone violating the order would face penalties of up to $500 in fines and a year in prison.
Hassan said at her press conference that she is counting on "the common sense people in the Granite State show" and that an order to stay off the roads would not be necessary.
As of 7:30 p.m. Friday, no power outages had been reported in New Hampshire among the four major electricity providers.
The U.S. Postal Service on Saturday will close post offices in Maine, Massachusetts and New Hamsphire, and is suspending mail delivery.

Even arriving at 7:00 was not a guaranty to be sure to get the game. I saw a lot of people this morning leaving Shinjuku without anything because Yodobashi staff decided to stop people coming in the queue from 8:00.
Here are a couple of pictures of today.
Staff of Yodobashi Camera were really wonderful in their organization. Nothing has come to disturb the queue and people were also very disciplined. You could be sure that nobody was trying to go through the queue. It's the kind of stuff you can definitely just see in Japan.
There were so many this morning that the queue also entered in Yodobashi main building.
So finally, how many copies were sold there today? It's hard to say but possibly 5,000 or more.
Myself, I arrived at 7:00, and left at 9:30 with the game.
So… The main point is what about the game?
After the first minutes of playing, you immediately feel that old gameplay has been kept, with its pros and cons.
So experienced players of MH games won't feel any new sensations by holding one of the 12 weapons while slaying a monster that deserved its punishment (it's an ugly monster after all).
In the pros, gameplay is solid and has already proved it permits to have a good balance between weapons while hunting. Yukumo village has also this middle age Japanese environment that makes its charm. And new characters are nice to look at. Now also you can bring with you 2 Felynes during quests. Doesn't it lower the difficulty??
In the cons, well it is more or less what fans are complaining about since Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. If you are not used with the camera, you are going to have a difficult time to follow rapid monsters.
There is also no lock functions that would allow to follow the monster more quickly than it is the case now.
I also saw a couple of bugs, not really disturbing, but it makes feel that the game has not been entirely polished.
For instance, take a Hammer or a Hunting Horn and stun a Kerbi. This guy will be on the ground, killed, but still with the stun stars around its head. Then you see it standing up and jumping away. And finally it disappears magically because it has been killed.
OK, Kelbi is not a major monster… But that's not really realistic.
Graphically, you also have the sensation that this MH episode is turning the series into a cartoon as the light and blood effects are really increased compared to the last versions. This doesn't help in the seriousness of MH…
By the way, it is always a pleasure to hunt on your psp with such a game, and be sure that it will stuck you on your psp for dozens, or hundreds of hours.
Just to finish, two pieces of advices:
1) Just after beginning, immediately do the first Hot Spring Quest. It is really easy and your Hot Spring will acquire immediately a bonus of 10 for life points.
2) Use and abuse of the delivery service at your base camp. This functionality is extremely useful.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to use Ingram Content platform
Ingram Content Group Inc. announced Tuesday that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has selected the La Vergne-based company's MyiLibrary e-content platform for the distribution of e-books to libraries worldwide.
HMH plans to add thousands of titles to the e-book platform, with offerings to encompass both frontlist and popular backlist titles. These will include popular content by Lois Lowry (including titles from The Giver series) and Philip K. Dick, and classics by, for example, George Orwell and Virginia Woolf. In addition, a number of cookbooks, such as the Better Homes & Gardens series and titles by Mark Bittman, will be included.

Mt. Juliet planners approve plans for 500 homes
The Mt. Juliet Planning Commission late last month gave the nod to almost 500 homes of various sizes on the north side of the Wilson County city. The construction will come in two projects, the larger one being developed by Khris Pascarella's Pearl Street Partners and Crescent Communities.
Local residents and business people spoke in favor of the development as well. Neighbor Ben Portland said, "This will have tremendous impact. It will be great for the north side."
Sid Williams agreed, "We need this to keep north Mt. Juliet from dying."
Older resident Jim Elliot threw both his arms wide and said, "I have open arms to welcome them to Mt. Juliet."

Community First nears end of the tunnel
Columbia-based Community First Bank & Trust continued to improve its capital position in the third quarter, when it posted a profit of $290,000 versus a loss of $1.4 million a year earlier. The absence of a $2 million loan loss provision helped a lot but the company also cut expenses by $800,000, more than offsetting a $375,000 drop in net interest income. As of Sept. 30, Community First needed to close a $2.1 million gap to get all of its capital ratios in compliance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s consent order. (Search here for "2,100.") That's down from $7 million early this year and $5.1 million in June.
Bridgestone Metalpha names Clarksville plant manager
State offering $72M to attract tire company
A Haslam administration deal to lure Hankook Tire Co. Ltd. to invest some $800 million in a manufacturing facility and create some 1,800 jobs in the Clarksville area comes with a $72 million incentive package, according to state officials.
State funds will come in the form of reimbursable grants for job training, site prep and some funding for a cultural center to help ease the transition for Korean nationals locating to the state, said ECD spokesman Clint Brewer. The deal also includes a clawback provision, he said.
The announcement comes less than a year after another large ECD development promising hundreds of jobs to the area fell through. In 2009, Hemlock Semiconductor agreed to build a $1.2 billion facility in the area, but earlier this year let go of some 300 employees and has yet to open the plant. The Hemlock deal came before the state began using clawback provisions to ensure that tax dollars spent to lure businesses here are refunded if the company fails to produce jobs.

Tale of the tape
Week 10: Atlanta Falcons At New Orleans Saints
The Falcons will go as far as MVP candidate Matt Ryan can take them. Ryan has played sensational football this year, but he knows that he won't be able to join the list of elite quarterbacks in the NFL until he starts winning playoff games. Ryan can't do anything about that right now, but his consistency thus far has been noteworthy. | Quarterback | The Saints have struggled quite a bit this season, but you can't find too much fault with the way Drew Brees is coming. Brees is smaller than you want your quarterback to be, but he excels at putting the ball on the money and into the arms of his receivers. Brees has excellent velocity on his throws, buys time with his feet and an indomitable attitude. |
The Falcons don't put it all on Ryan to make things happen by himself. Michael Turner is a power running back who can take the pressure off of the passing game. Turner has rushed for 517 yards through the first half of the season and he can also block and help out as a receiver. Roddy White is one of the most prolific receivers in the league, Julio Jones can stretch the field and veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez is still dependable. | Offense | The Saints can move the ball up and down the field. Despite their poor start, they are still a formidable offensive team. Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram are a punishing duo at the running back position. Marques Colston continues to be a consistent threat as a receiver. Lance Moore is one of the most underrated players in the league because he can always get open. |
The Falcons come at you with speed and aggressiveness on the defensive end. Defensive end John Abraham can turn the corner and get after the passer. He has recorded seven sacks through the halfway point of the season. Sean Weatherspoon is smart and strong. He leads the Falcons in tackles with 53 and his hits are punishing. Safety Thomas DeCoud is a difference maker who has 39 tackles and four interceptions. | Defense | The Saints have been disastrous on the defensive side of the ball. They have given up at least 400 yards in all eight games thus far, something no other NFL team had surrendered in league history. Defensive end Cameron Jordan leads the team with six sacks. He sacked Eagles QB Michael Vick three times in the Week Nine victory. |
The Falcons are getting improved play from return man Jacquizz Rodgers, who has a 77-yard kickoff return to his credit and looks dangerous every time he gets his hands on the ball. Placekicker Matt Bryant has made 20-of-22 FG attempts this season. | Special Teams | The Saints are getting a lot of production from punter Thomas Morstead, who is averaging 51.2 yards per boot this season and has dropped 11 of 36 punts inside the 20. Garrett Hartley has made just 2-of-5 field goal attempts of 30 yards or longer. |
The winner is

G'day all Speaking as someone from "industry", and a Project/Programme Manager at that, I'd just like to add that I'm shocked and dismayed at the apparent lack of accountability that seems rampant in academic circles! If it was down to me I'd sack the lot of ya!! ;) I'd strongly recommend that all good cluster folk have a good idea about operation expenditure (opex). If you get a visit from the Meanie Beanies (auditors / cost accountants etc etc) then it'll help cover your A. It's a great way to have your gig cancelled because you didn't have a firm understanding of your $'s in and out. Happens all the time in Industry and in my job it's a sackable offence. No joke. Do some homework and you won't need to be afraid (OK, *as* afraid of the Purple Pen People). Some things to know ideally you should be able to quote these with as little as an hour's warning (shows you're on top of things): -) The amount of floor space you consume (sq ft or m) - don't worry about the cost of this one, those asking will know ;) Becomes a hot topic if you're paying rent in some form. -) Find out how much electricity you use per hour - chances are you're on one or more dedicated circuit(s) and probably separate metering - look at the bills. Don't worry about general lighting etc. It's often rolled into the floor space calcs. -) Ditto aircon (include your maintenance) -) Cluster hardware maintenance (out of warranty stuff, cost of spares) - quoting your amazing uptime can help explain this figure -) Service contracts (you've got a Service Level Agreement right? Uptime % etc helps explain) -) Staff / admin costs -) The good ol' "anything else you can think of" Now the fun part. Who used you cluster and for how long? Look at your job scheduling etc. Your department? Another department (do you cross charge somehow)? Which projects? What's their contribution to cluster opex? If you answer reasonably accurately then the Beanies will treat you with some respect :) >>Someone, somewhere is paying your bills already.<< Know where that money is going! Don't say I didn't warn you ;) Cheers Stevo This message was sent through MyMail http://www.mymail.com.au

Last year the benefit raised $3,300 for the Coachella Valley Autism Society. To celebrate this year, the 5th annual event, Heinz hopes to reach a goal of $5,000. The proceeds will be donated to the Lumpy's Foundation for Autism This foundation provides financial assistance to families with autistic children so they may afford vital therapies.

Good thing - it's shockingly light and will in NO WAY keep you warm at night. It's purely for show. That being said... the picture makes it look like the little flowery things are full and on top of each other... this is false. They are no as close to each other making it look a little less appealing, but not ugly. The ruffles at the end of the comforter don't fall as dramatically as the picture either. Since I couldn't find what the "4 pieces" were in the package, they are: the comforter, the two shams (very pretty), and bed skirt.

I got some concrete tubes, cut them into 2feet height, then cut the tubes down the length, placed the cardboard tubes around the gazebo legs, then duct tapes them up like crazy, put cardboard sheet under the tubes, and plastic under that. then slowly used some concrete and filled the tubes to a height of 18inches (would give 100pounds per pillar). after a couple days, I cut away the cardboard,... then got brown stain at local **********...to make them look nice...than last step...pulled out the cardboard bottom and plastic..and viola had 100pound concrete pillar weights around each leg. i'll send you a photo if you'd like one. cause it came out better than I thought it would..haha I would recommend this product to a friend.

Sun, Aug 25, 2013 Love it - Takes time to build We love this gazebo and it works great for providing shelter out on our front patio from the sun and rain. We haven't had a bad wind or rain storm yet but so far so good. (We haven't bolted the legs down yet). As others have mentioned, it is time consuming to build - putting the top on required my husband to set the peak on a ladder - there's no way someone could stand and hold the spider like arms that hold the panels. Also, do NOT lose those corner roof brackets or any parts for that matter. One corner bracket fell in one of the 4 poles and it was a real pain to find and then screw back in place. Now that it's up, it looks beautiful and when it rained, everything underneath stayed nice and dry. We also hung a light from the center and it's really very nice!

After reading all the reviews and deciding that we didnt want a cloth gazebo as the material would need to be replaced about every other year, we purchased this gazebo. The instructions are pretty straight forward and it does take about half a day, depending on if you are using an electric 90degree screw gun, it will go faster. This gazebo is well worth the time and the parts line up great! Highly recomended and it looks like it will hold up well for a number of years.

TWO PROPHETIC PRANKSTERS play some disturbing games inspired by Hamlet's central theme: Coping with death. Shreds, a grotesquely emaciated freak, and Patches, a 350-pound jiggling juggernaut are linked by a state of infinite jest and interweave ecstatic ritual, parody, poetry, song, and extreme physical comedy into a fun-house mirror of the audience. Guerrilla/gorilla warfare, convalescent homes, school shootings, crying mothers, theatre audiences, religion, anti-depressants, avant-garde performance, medical research, and yes, Shakespeare's Hamlet all get a proper skewering in this evening of high-impact satirical sport.

NAKED EMPIRE BOUFFON COMPANY is dedicated to researching, expanding, and popularizing bouffon through training and performance both locally and internationally.
OUR GOAL is to create events that get people talking about things that matter, with an emphasis on the stuff we're all avoiding.
WE HATE didacticism, judgment, and seriousness.
Instead, WE CELEBRATE shame and play irreverently with difficult truths.
WE DISTILL human nastiness into moments of grotesque and prophetic physical poetry designed to be both painful and hilarious.
WE INVITE spectators to join us in cutting through all of our collective bullshit and having a blast at the same time.
Few people in the mainstream public have heard the term "bouffon", but you know it when you see it. Based in satire and physical comedy you can see it in the work of Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat and Bruno fame. You see it in the Tony Award winning work of Trey Parker and Matt Stone via South Park, Team America, or Book of Mormon. You see it in the artistry of Maurizio Cattelan or in the headlines of The Onion.
Beyond the research Naked Empire has done since 2009, this work owes much of its existence to a venerable lineage of performance research and practice. Most notably, the work of Master Teacher Giovanni Fusetti, who introduced Artistic Director, Nathaniel Justiniano to this realm of performance during his training at Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre.
To our knowledge, we're the only company in the United States exclusively dedicated to the research and performance of bouffon, but every year more practitioners who teach and create bouffon are making themselves known. We are working to share knowledge, grow the field, build community, and continue the research into what bouffon is and can be.
Are you a teacher or creator of bouffon work? We'd love to know you and start by listing a link to your website and work here.

Nathaniel Justiniano (Founder, Artistic Director) is a professional actor/creator and director. In 2007, under the direction of Master Teacher Giovanni Fusetti, he co-created Pax Americana, a satire of war as seen through the lens of United States history and EUOI!, a bouffon experiment in ecstatic ritual, inspired by the research of anthropologist, Barbara Ehrenreich. He has performed with The Thrillpeddlers in their mega-hit, Pearls Over Shanghai, as well as with WE Players in their epic, 5-hour, island-wide production of The Odyssey on Angel Island. He joined the SF Buffoons in their 2008 productions of The Hasheesh Eater and their premiere of Spunk, a satire of gold rush-era San Francisco. In 2009 he led the creation of Naked Empire's debut production, Shame! as a DIY Artist-in-Residence at Mama Calizo's Voice Factory, formerly one of San Francisco's most popular centers for queer and activist performance. His one-man show, Cousin Cruelty's Compulsion, addresses the use of institutional violence in society and was one of the offerings in the 2011 International Home Theatre Festival, as well as the subject of a feature column in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Most recently, he co-created and performed in You Killed Hamlet, or Guilty Creatures Sitting At A Play, a satire about avoiding death which won critical acclaim, the San Francisco Best of the Fringe Award, the Vancouver/Plank Magazine Talk of the Fringe Award, a nomination for Vancouver's Georgia Straight Critic's Pick Award, and was an Official Selection of the Toronto Festival of Clowns. He teaches workshops nation-wide in bouffon for which he was honored with the SF Bay Guardian's BEST OF THE BAY AWARD for BEST ROMP WITH YOUR INNER PSYCHOPATH. He has served as the Director of Physical Comedy for the Sacramento Shakespeare Festival, and guest teacher of physical theatre at Sacramento City College and Kinetic Arts Center of Oakland. He is currently a senior faculty member of the new Clown Conservatory program at the San Francisco Circus Center where he teaches clown, games, status, mask performance and was the director of this year's 7-week Bouffon Intensive, the most comprehensive bouffon training ever offered in the United States. He has also been a professional community organizer and educator for LGBT youth empowerment programs for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and the LA Gay & Lesbian Center, as well as a program manager for community-based theatre initiatives out of the National Conference for Community & Justice and Cornerstone Theater Company. He holds a BFA in Theatre Performance from Chapman University and an MFA in Ensemble-Based Physical Theatre from Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord.
Courageous patience
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth. 8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.

Olet sivulla: Home « Labour Legislation « Employment contracts and employment relationships
The Employment Contracts Act is applied to almost all work done in an
employment relationship, irrespective of the quality for the work.
The application of the Employment Contracts Act and other labour legislation
(such as the Working Hours Act and the Annual Holidays Act) requires that the
constituent elements of an employment relationship are found simultaneously.
These elements are a contract, working on behalf of an employer,
remuneration and working under
the direction and supervision of an employer ("the employer's right to direct
The Employment Contracts Act lays down provisions on the following issues:
· entering into an employment contract
· the obligations of the employer and the employee
· determination of the minimum terms and
conditions of an employment relationship
· the employee's right to family leave
· lay-offs
· termination of an employment contract
(including periods of notice, grounds for termination and cancellation, and the
procedure for terminating an employment contract)
· liability for damages
· invalidity of an employment contract and
unreasonable terms
· employment contracts of an
international nature and the status of employees' representatives.
The parties to an employment contract or a collective agreement cannot enter
into a valid agreement on not
applying the Employment Contracts Act to a work relationship that has the
constituent elements stipulated for an employment relationship.
A permanent conciliation system has been created for disputes related to
working life. Legal disputes arising from the content or breach of collective
agreements can be brought to the Labour Court.
Special provisions regarding the protection of young employees under the age of
18 are laid down by the Young Workers' Act. Separate provisions also apply to
the type work allowed for and forbidden from your employees, light work
suitable for them as well as restrictions on their working hours. General
labour legislation also applies to their employment relationships unless
otherwise prescribed by the special provisions on young employees.
The Seamen's Act lays
down provisions on seafarers' employment relationships. The Act applies to work
done by a worker under a contract on board a Finnish ship or upon orders by the
employer elsewhere on a temporary basis. Separate provisions apply to
seafarers' working hours, annual holidays and pay security.

Bloomingdale Park District announces Festival of Lights
BLOOMINGDALE – In the summer heat, it's hard to picture snow-covered hilltops and holiday lights. But the Bloomingdale Park District has already turned their sights toward the winter season.
The park district recently announced it is partnering with the village of Bloomingdale on a new holiday tradition to spark a sense of pride in Bloomingdale. They hope this new tradition will attract visitors from surrounding towns and, in turn, benefit local businesses.
Starting Nov. 29, the Festival of Lights will adorn Old Town Bloomingdale through New Year's Eve. Pedestrians and motorists can walk or ride among a sparkling display of holiday lights and sights. The Park District will conduct on-site programming and entertainment throughout the festival.

Clicherlux finds both print and business success with Esko Full HD Flexo
Company installs UV2 inline digital main exposure and receives Esko HD Flexo certification
Clicherlux has found that the results are excellent. "I like the flexibility of the system. It's easier to combine different screens and dot shapes on the same plate with Full HD Flexo. When we changed the system, we found more detail in the highlights," adds Trombeta. "Meanwhile, on the other side, the shadows are perfect. Because of this, it is expanding our gamut considerably. Our customers are printing a greater range of color. And, we are able to adapt Full HD Flexo plates to different flexo applications, such as flexibles, corrugated and paper."
With the stability of Full HD Flexo flat top dots, Clicherlux's prepress department can control curves and touch up images with Photoshop much more easily. "It's as if flexo printing has turned into offset printing," marvels Trombeta.
HD Flexo saves Clicherlux time and money
Because Clicherlux is able to extend its highlights and shadows, thus controlling its color, it is now able to spend less time working on image treatments. "For example, we had worked on packaging for 44 different flavors of ice cream. Each four flavors required one to two hours of prepress operator work for image treatment and curves," says Trombeta. "The Full HD screening technology took care of transitioning highlights to zero. Along with flat top, Full HD dots, we were able to save more than 16 hours on this project alone."
At times, Clicherlux is also able to reduce the number of ink units on press. "For a bread company, we printed the four flexo CMYK colors rather than going on press with eight gravure colors, as was done in the past," explains Trombeta. "We prepared test plates with color squares assessing three variations of CMYK for each Pantone color. After we printed them, we showed the customer the best matches for each. We converted the Pantone colors to the best CMYK match on the original Illustrator design file. Using those colors, we went to press. The customer was extremely pleased with the results."
Makereadies are easier, as well as the printing itself. On press, the stability of the flat top dot created by Full HD Flexo has allowed Clicherlux customers to work with higher line screens, but with the same anilox settings. Customers are pleased to get more quality and definition on press without having to invest on a new anilox. "It is helping us get better density and highlights faster," explains Trombeta. "We can separate solids from the dots easier. We can get the gamut we used to get with eight colors, but with only four colors--and it looks better than before. It has been amazing. Our customers are printing better with four colors than they did with eight."
Heavy ink coverage is not always helpful in flexo. Depending on the press setup, double prints may occur, wasting a lot of time on makereadies, because the press operators must tune the press and adjust with ink, sticky back, and other settings to avoid this problem. "We are glad to be able to easily work with different ink levels. By using Microcell screening, we can deliver different levels of ink coverage specially suited to the customer's setup. We're able to get 'right on the spot'," adds Trombeta. With Microcell screens, Clicherlux has also been able to improve small text and barcodes on micro-corrugated and folding cartons. Dots no longer 'squash' on press, and dot gain has been drastically reduced.
The black Ink coverage using Full HD Flexo is also an advantage for Clicherlux. "We have many jobs that needed two black plates to achieve a desirable ink laydown. Using the extreme Microcell screening offered by Esko, we can easily get sufficient black coverage with only one plate." In the past, in order to assure good definition in some images, Clicherlux had to add cyan, magenta and yellow together with black. Because Full HD Flexo can produce highlights combined with good shadow contrast, Clicherlux can now achieve the same detail quality by using only black ink, alone.

Guys, we know we've been a little MIA recently, and we apologize for that. But fundamentally, there hasn't been that much exciting stuff in pop culture for us to be talking about. Yesterday, ALL OF THAT CHANGED.
Yes, indeed–Taylor Swift's fourth album, Red, was officially released yesterday, and we've been listening to it ever since. Look, we know you have too. And honestly, we've been enjoying it a lot! It's been entirely too long since we had some new T-Swizzle, and Red on the whole is pretty great.
BUT THEN! Today, she went even further in our excitement and released a new video. We didn't even cover her video for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" because we hated it so much, so we're glad to have something we can actually talk about. Tay-Tay released the video for "Begin Again," a very pretty song about starting over in a new relationship. In the video she wanders around Paris in a lot of pretty outfits looking sad for most of it. Here, watch:
Some thoughts:
- Sorry, the image of Taylor biking in that skirt is really hilarious to us for some reason. Right? Not that anything about it is wrong in any way, it is just hilariously pretentious.
- Unsurprisingly, Tay-Tay drinks an espresso shot more slowly than anyone ever.
- Do we think those are her actual sketches at 1:09? Because they're pretty impressive.
- Okay, the new guy is very cute in general, but what is up with his hair??? We are not on board with that amount of gel. Gentlemen, take note: it's not cute.
- Love that purple dress. Its sole purpose seems to be to look pretty (not really sure what she's doing sitting on that ledge in general) but it is EXCELLING at that.
- We would probably not get involved with a guy whose version of a pick-up line is taking our picture. It's a personal choice and not one we're judging Taylor for, but this clearly would not work for everyone. We would move away slowly. Maybe it's different in France?
- What is with the tart interlude? Does she leave the guy and go to a different cafe? So confused.
- Can we talk about how much more age-appropriate this guy is for Taylor than the 18-year-old Kennedy she's dating? Too soon?
Anyway, overall we really enjoyed "Begin Again." Though it is admittedly a little overwrought and… well… Taylor-y, it is in the right direction, which is away from "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and people dressed like animals. Stick with angst and cafes, Taylor–you never go wrong there.

Welcome, Mayor! Welcome, concerned citizen!
Peace is precious! Cities Are Not Targets!
When a city becomes a battleground, everything generations of mayors and citizens have worked so hard to build is destroyed. When international stability is said to depend on mutual assured destruction, the hostages – cities – are in grave danger.
Mayors for Peace is the leading international organization devoted to protecting cities from the scourge of war and mass destruction.
To that end, we are pursuing four main projects approved by the 2013 General Conference of Mayors for Peace: the Good Faith Challenge; the "I was her age." Project; the "Cities Are Not Targets!" Project; and the Cities' World Peace Calendar. Your help with one or more of these projects would be very much appreciated
To find out more about the activities of the campaign, read our Progress Report, see the latest newsflash, or scroll down to view recent news stories.
Thank you for your interest. We are all part of the solution!

NEW ACTION ALERT: Write to your Foreign Minister, before November 8th, urging support for a UNGA decision to hold a High-Level Nuclear Disarmament Conference no later than 2018
The 120-nation Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is proposing that the world get serious about establishing a nuclear weapon free world. Their draft resolution put before the UN General Assembly's First Committee envisages "the urgent commencement of negotiations, in the Conference on Disarmament, for the early conclusion of a comprehensive convention on nuclear weapons" along with, "no later than 2018, a United Nations high-level international conference on nuclear disarmament to review the progress made in this regard." To help build public awareness of and support for such a course of action, the resolution declares 26 September "International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons."

Mayors for Peace President and Vice President credited with influencing Japanese Government's stance on nuclear weapon use.
After Japan refused to sign a statement last May which asserted that "it is in the interest of the very survival of humanity that nuclear weapons are never used again, under any circumstances." They came under heavy domestic criticism, not least from the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who wrote to the Foreign Minister in their capacities as President and Vice President of Mayors for Peace. When a statement with the same assertion began circulating in early October at the United Nations, Japan engaged in close consultations with the drafters. And now they have, with several newspaper reports crediting the Mayors for Peace letter as key to the reconsideration.

Cities Today, the leading magazine on sustainable developments of cities, published an article of the International Director of the 2020 Vision Campaign Aaron Tovish in their quarterly magazine.
You can read the full magazine here. The article of Mayors for Peace is on page 5
We hope to have an article or column in every edition of Cities Today in the future.
Contributions update July 2012
In the month of July the 2020 Vision Campaign received donations from 30 cities of 3 countries, amounting to a total of € 5439. We would like to extend our gratitude to our member cities for their continuing generosity in supporting our efforts to realize a nuclear-weapon-free world by 2020.
Significant donations were made by our member cities in Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg.
We hope that this positive trend continues for the rest of 2012.
