"Riding the coaster's track, the rider is subjected to a series of intensive motion elements that induce various unique experiences: from euphoria to thrill, and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness and, eventually, death," he wrote on his website.

Chris Beene enters his eighth season as head coach of the cross country and track and field teams at South Plains College.
Since his arrival in Levelland, Beene has led the Texans and Lady Texans to a combined 18 NJCAA championships in men's and women's cross country, half-marathon, indoor track and outdoor track, all of which have flooded in since 2006.
The 2010-11 school year saw Beene's teams rack up four NJCAA national titles, the first coming when the Lady Texans claimed a share of the NJCAA Half-Marathon title in November by posting a score of 17 points. The following March the Lady Texan indoor track and field team dominated the field by nearly 100 points to lay claim to a second NJCAA championship of the school year and then both the Texans and Lady Texans swept the outdoor track titles in May, marking the third consecutive year they have combined to sweep the competition.
In all, Beene helped lead his athletes to a combined 28 individual and relay national championships as well as a grand total of 55 All-American certificates during the 2010-11 seasons. For their efforts, Natoya Goule and Jura Levy were named co-athletes of the meet after both indoor and outdoor NJCAA Championship meets. Beene earned the distinction of being named the Women's Indoor and Outdoor Coach of the Meet as well as the Men's Outdoor Coach of the Meet.
Beene helped guide six athletes to nine All-American awards during the 2009 cross country season that culminated with the Texan men defending their title at the NJCAA half-marathon held in Overland Park, Kansas. Later that spring, Beene coached Kelly Closse (shot put, discus), Colleen Felix (javelin), Shakeeri Cole (800), and Marcelis Lynch (800) to individual titles in addition to helping guide the 4x800 meter relay team easily win in Hutchinson where both the men's and women's teams took home team titles for the second year in a row. For his efforts, Beene was later voted by his peers as Coach of the Year for both men and women.
The 2008-09 fall and spring seasons may very well have been the best in a rich history of South Plains College track and cross country teams as SPC won five championships out of eight possible, with the SPC men coming just short of sweeping all four. It all started with the Texans coming away with a half-marathon championship in the fall. The Texan and Lady Texan track teams then blew away their competition in the spring by sweeping each of the NJCAA indoor and outdoor national championships and are only one-of-four schools to ever win all four titles in the same year at any collegiate level. The Texan cross country team finished only 12 points away from taking the cross country title.
In the last six years, Beene has coached athletes that currently hold 9 NJCAA meet or national records. His athletes who have won over 100 individual and relay national championships, and a host of all-American awards.
Beene came to South Plains College from Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, where he was named Women's NAIA Region 5 and 6 Coach of the Year in 2003 and 2004. He also earned Men's Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors in 2003 and 2004 and also won the NAIA Sooner Athletic Conference championship in 2003.
Before Wayland, Beene served four seasons as an assistant coach at Texas Tech University where he was in charge of coaching the multi-events, pole vault, and javelin. He has also had previous coaching stints at Abilene Christian University and Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
During his time at Abilene Christian, Beene was part of 12 NCAA Division II national team championships. He also coached two decathletes to individual national championships as well.
Additionally, Beene coached Stephen Moore and Trafton Rodgers. Rodgers went on to win the USATF Men's Heptathlon Indoor Championships, while Moore won a USA Indoor championship and went on to place fourth at the World Indoor Championships in Barcelona, Spain. Both have competed in the United States Olympic Trials, with Rodgers in 2000 and Moore in 2000 as well as 2004. Moore also won a gold medal in the decathlon at the Pan-American Games.
A former all-American decathlete, Beene received both his bachelor and master degrees in kinesiology from Angelo State University. He and his wife, Corye, have a daughter, Faith, and a son, Sage.

Free Will is a two phase mind reading routine with an impossible prediction at the end, with only borrowed objects. Impromptu mentalism at its best.
It is impromptu, 100% accurate, and uses no sleight of hand. It is very easy to do and Will often uses it when someone just wants him to show them something. It never fails to amaze. When he performs this, he uses the theme free will, which he talks about during the routine. He uses these magic effects to demonstrate what free will is about, and how you can influence and predict the choices that we make.
The effect:
You borrow a coin and instruct a participant to hide it in any of her hands, behind her back. Without touching or looking at her hands or asking any questions, you know where it is and you can immediately reveal it.
Next, you write a prediction on a piece of paper and hand it to one of the spectators to guard. You then ask for some random objects. The spectators gather cellphones, watches, finger rings and more. The objects are eliminated one by one in a fair manner until there are only two objects left (PATEO force). The participant is instructed to really think about them and make her last decision. The one object she keeps is the exact object that is written on the prediction; that has been securely guarded by a spectator during the whole process. The method makes you able to perform this anytime, anywhere and with no sleight of hand whatsoever.
Bonus 1: Ideas on how you can make this even more impossible by walking out of the room while letting an assistant and a participant do the process letting you read their minds without even being in the room.
Bonus 2: A card effect based on the second phase of the routine. Impromptu and easy.

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, we believe finding a brand that consistently produces sophisticated, attainable, and endlessly chic pieces is a lot like finding your soul mate. Once you connect, it's a total love fest and you're committed for life! For us, that Line We Love is A.L.C. From the moment celebrity stylist-turned-designer Andrea Lieberman launched the line three years ago, we swooned for her well-edited collection of contemporary classics and go-to closet essentials. And naturally, as the brand started to grow-this spring marks Lieberman's foray into jewelry with a complete collection of elegant-yet-slightly-moody bijoux-so did our devotion! With the news of A.L.C.'s exciting expansion, we knew this month was the perfect time to spotlight some of our favorite pieces from the label's S/S 12 collection. We've got our eye on everything from the shark tooth necklace to the mint green blazer, and we're confident that by the end of today's story A.L.C. will be your sartorial love match too!
Madeline Dress ($795, 212.826.8900) in Electric Blue Print
Readers looking to make a bold statement this spring will undoubtedly fall hard for the Madeline Dress. The abstract print and electric blue color not only make a stunning combination, but also lend the classic shirtdress a modern look. Add a cropped jacket and strappy heels, and you'll be ready for a night out with the girls!
Around the World Mini Sharks Tooth Necklace ($295, available mid-February) in Silver
While we hope to eventually collect all of the amazing necklaces in the S/S 12 collection, the Around The World Mini Sharks Tooth Necklace is at the top of our list. Seamlessly interweaving sophisticated elegance with edgy sensibilities, this dainty bauble is swoon-worthy indeed! Mix it with a few additional necklaces for a cool, layered look.
Wyatt Gaucho Pants ($396, available late February) in White
One of the things we appreciate most about A.L.C.'s S/S 12 collection is all of the amazing transitional pieces, including the Wyatt Gaucho Pants. Combining fall's in-demand wide-leg silhouette with a crisp white hue, these comfortable, throw-on-and-go trousers will surely become a key wardrobe component. We like the idea of adding a burst of color with a neon blouse for an fun and energetic warm-weather look.
Double Bondage Bracelet ($375, available mid-February) in Gold
The Double Bondage Bracelet has all the qualities of a show-stopping piece of jewelry. The refined and slight industrial design is fashion-forward, while the slim bangles and gorgeous gold plating are totally chic. We can certainly imagine Taylor Tomasi Hill sporting this bracelet during NYFW.
Zoe Blazer ($695, 212.826.8900) in Mint
If we could wear only one blazer this spring, the Zoe Blazer would win hands down. Available in the most amazing mint green hue-a color that happens to be wildly popular this season-with contrasting black lapels, this jacket injects your day-to-day ensembles with a hint of color and lots of ladylike sophistication. Styling suggestions? Wear it to an office meeting with a classic button-up and minimalist trousers, then easily transition it for after-hours by pairing it with a floral frock or leather pants.
Nette Top ($295) in White
Whether it's full-sleeved or sleeveless, in a lively print or classic white, a button-up shirt is a year-round staple that never seems to go out of style! Accordingly, we think the Nette Top is an investment-worthy piece every girl should own! Trust us, you'll be glad to have it on hand when summer's sizzling temperatures arrive, plus its ability to polish both your nine-to-five wardrobe and weekend attire means it's a top you'll wear again and again.
Brass Handcuff Ring w/ Swarovski Crystals ($195) in Gold
Though we typically reach for a chunky statement ring to complete our look, we'll make an exception for this little guy! What this bauble lacks in size, it more than makes up for in luxurious design, including gold plating and faceted Swarovski crystals. This piece adds a hint of glamour to every look (warning: you'll never want to take it off)!
Q&A with Andrea Lieberman
What inspired the start of your design career?
I've always wanted to be a designer-I actually went to Parsons straight out of high school. After school I traveled, ending up in Africa for about two years. When I came back to New York I fell into styling; a friend of a friend referred me and it continued from there. With designing A.L.C., it was the same sort of thing. I saw an opportunity to start my own collection, the timing felt right, and I embraced it. It all happened very organically.
What was the inspiration behind this season's collection?
I always draw on my life experiences and things that speak to my sense of wanderlust. For spring, I had an image of a refined girl from Belgravia turned West African surfer. The batik prints I developed felt like they really captured that girl. For me, it's all about pedigree with an edge. The starting point is always something that is inspired, but I never lose sight of the fact that I want to make clothes that are real and that a woman wants to not only wear, but covet too.
How would you style specific pieces from this collection? Do you have a favorite piece in the collection?
One of my favorite looks is the first look of the collection-the leather pintuck pants paired with the collarless mint blazer and silk button-up collared shirt. It just feels a little bit badass.
What kind of girl do you envision wearing your clothing?
A girl with style and a modern aesthetic.
How does your design process for a collection start?
Every season the design process is different. I am constantly gathering references, whether it's an incredible book like Farm, which I just discovered and fell in love with, or a vintage piece in just the right color combination. Choosing fabrics, developing prints, and analyzing color are also key in the beginning stages.
I always find that the final collection is less the result of the beginning inspiration, but rather a result of the journey of the creative process. At the end of every season, when I step back and take a look at the collection, I often wonder how I got there.
What inspired/prompted you to branch out and design jewelry?
I've been designing fine jewelry for many years; it's a process I love and find really inspiring. The launch of A.L.C. jewelry was only a matter of time.-Jessica Baker

Identity protection offered by village council
January 23, 2013
Goodrich-The village council voted 4-1 on Jan. 14 to extend identity protection to a handful of those associated with the village that may have had their Social Security numbers breached.
The council agreed to retain TrustedID for the protection at a rate of $84.12 per person for a year. In the event all 13 individuals request the protection, the village coffers would be tapped for about $1,100.
The need for the protection stems from a row between village officials over a 2011 alleged unauthorized investigation of the village administrator's hard drive following her dismissal.. The information contained in the hard drive was obtained by then Village Council President Patricia Wartella and Councilman Doug McAbee, who authorized the computer to be sent to Lansing based Dalman Investigations. The decision was made without the vote of the council. The report by Dalman was not released to the public, however, 19 individuals' Social Security numbers were allegedly included on the computer hard drive.
Village Administrator Jakki Sidge sent a letter out to the individuals affected by the possible breach in September. Of those, 13 individuals responded.
The TrustedID service alerts clients when personal information, including Social Security numbers, is being used to apply for wireless services, retail credit, utilities, and mortgage loans.
McAbee voted no on the decision.
"It's been two years and there has not been a problem," he said. "We are jumping to conclusions."
Councilmember Richard Saroli said the issue should be closed.
"We as a council want to extend the opportunity to these individuals to protect their identity," he said. "They may not want to give any personal information to the identification protection company. The village is in no way responsible for the action of possibly disclosing the Social Security numbers."

Looks like a very smart mix of spending. No overspending on capital projects like in Duluth. They spend is as fast as it comes in in Duluth.

On August 31, as most Americans were enjoying the Labor Day weekend and perhaps grilling hamburgers and chicken, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) quietly lifted its restriction on processed poultry (such as chicken and turkey) from Communist China being imported into the United States. Furthermore, the imported processed poultry will not require a country-of-origin label nor will U.S. inspectors be on site at processing plants in China before it is shipped to the United States for human consumption.
The USDA's announcement came in the form of an official letter (accompanied by an FSIS report) to Li Chunfeng, the deputy director general of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) in the People's Republic of China (PRC). "As all outstanding issues have been resolved, the PRC may proceed with certifying a list of poultry processing establishment as meeting the FSIS requirements," the letter said. The letter further stated:
These certified establishments may then begin exporting processed (heat-treated/cooked) poultry products to the United States under the conditions established in FSIS' April 2006 final rule; i.e. only processed poultry product from poultry slaughtered under FSIS inspection in the United States or in a country eligible to export slaughtered poultry to the United States. [Emphasis added.]
For now, only chickens or turkeys that are raised and slaughtered in either the United States, Canada, or other countries that are currently allowed to export poultry to the United States may now be sent to China in order to be cooked or processed into food products that will then be shipped back to the United States to be sold and consumed. Because the poultry is originally coming from the United States or other countries approved by the USDA, inspectors from the USDA will not be required on site in China when it is being processed, according to the New York Times, which further stated:

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Educational and Social Disadvantaged.
Thursday, 9 May 1991
Dáil Éireann Debate
5. Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Education if she has satisfied herself that the emphasis in the Programme for Economic and Social Progress on children suffering educational and social disadvantage and the need for positive intervention in the form of additional remedial teachers and guidance counsellors, will be adequately addressed by the measure contained in the programme; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
8. Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the fact that there is a severe educational disadvantage in the north inner city of Dublin; her plans to compensate for this disadvantage; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
30. Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Education if, having regard to (1) the commitment given in the Programme for Economic and Social Progress to target resources to assist the disadvantaged and (2) the response from the Conference of Major Religious Superiors to the Primary Education Review Body report, she will outline the resources which will be targeted towards the disadvantaged.[429]
37. Mr. T. O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education if she will outline the efforts which have been made to investigate the nature and the extent of disadvantage in the education system both at a primary and secondary level; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
39. Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education if she proposes to make any increased allocations for the provision of remedial teachers to schools in the 1991-92 academic year; if so, if she will give the breakdown between (1) primary schools, (2) vocational education committee schools and (3) community and comprehensive schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
49. Mr. Ryan asked the Minister for Education if she will give a detailed account of the allocation of the proposed 60 extra teaching posts for post-primary schools in disadvantaged areas for the 1991-92 school year as laid down in the Programme for Economic and Social Progress; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Mrs. O'Rourke: I propose taking Priority Question No. 5 and Questions Nos. 8, 30, 37, 39 and 49 together.
Arising from commitments made in the context of the last programme for Government, and carried forward into the Programme for Economic and Social Progress, my Department entered into discussions with representatives of management, teachers and parents in order to establish agreed criteria on relative disadvantage in schools. The agreed criteria are based on socio-economic indicators of disadvantage and include such factors as unemployment levels, local authority housing, rural deprivation, medical card holders, children of lone parents and information on basic literarcy and numeracy.
All primary and post-primary schools were invited to supply details of the number of pupils to whom agreed criteria applied. The schools which responded have been placed in an order of priority. Some 60 additional posts were allocated to post-primary schools for the 1990-91 [430] school-year on the basis of that information. In the case of primary schools, 30 home-school-community liaison teachers were allocated to groups of schools in selected disadvantaged areas. A further 60 posts will be allocated to post-primary schools in disadvantaged areas from September this year, arising from the agreed criteria. There are already 180 teachers in primary schools in disadvantaged areas and 30 additional teachers will be appointed. In addition, further home-school-community liaison teachers will be appointed. This will bring the number of schools served by this scheme to approximately 80 and the total number of schools deemed to be disadvantaged to over 200. In addition, 80 remedial teachers will be appointed for the school year commencing in September 1991.
At present all schools with an enrolment of 500 pupils or more qualify for a guidance teacher. Under the terms of the programme, schools in the 350-499 enrolment category will, in a graded way, qualify for a guidance teacher. The same will apply to VEC schools. I will not delay the House by reading out the entire reply. I will gladly answer any questions raised by Deputies on the matter.
An Ceann Comhairle: I am calling first Deputy Jim Higgins whose priority question No. 5 refers.
Mr. J. Higgins: Does the Minister realise that despite the commitments given in the PESP, the great protective umbrella under which she shelters——
Mrs. O'Rourke: I do not shelter under anything.
Mr. J. Higgins: ——there are 602 classes which have 40-plus students, 4,884 classes with between 35 and 39 students and 5,600 classes with between 30 and 35 students? Does she accept, allowing for the merits of the PESP, that this will make a negligible impact in relation to reducing class sizes and overall disadvantage?
Mrs. O'Rourke: First, I do not shelter [431] under the PESP. I was asked a question and I gave the information. Secondly, I am very proud of the PESP. Thirdly, the unions and teachers to which the Deputy referred voted overwhelmingly in favour of the educational proposals put forward in the PESP.
Mr. J. Higgins: I cannot understand that.
Mrs. O'Rourke: That is a fact. Of course, there will never be enough resources for education. Even if we were to appoint an extra 1,000 teachers other problems would arise overnight. We have made an excellent start, building on the good foundations laid by previous Governments of every hue. For the first time we have an accelerated programme which will improve the pupil-teacher ratio.
Mr. Gregory: Does the Minister accept the findings of the most recent study commissioned by the Daughters of Charity which confirms the north inner city to be the most deprived community in the State with 44 per cent of schoolchildren leaving school before the age of 15? This is by far the worst percentage in the country and is three times the national average. At most only 1 per cent of children in these schools go on to third level education compared with a Dublin average of 15 per cent. Does the Minister accept that this represents a special case which can only be reversed by additional resources and teachers over and above the limited measures to which she has already referred?
Mrs. O'Rourke: I do not have the study to which the Deputy referred to hand but I know of it. He referred to schools in the north inner city area and the high levels of disadvantage which lead to educational deprivation. We have had regard to this not just in the schools which served disadvantaged areas but also in the initiation of the formal home-school-community liaison scheme introduced last year and which will be intensified this [432] year. Under that scheme the schools in the areas to which the Deputy referred will be given particular attention. My Department are doing this at present.
Mr. Gregory: Arising from her reply, may I ask the Minister if she accepts that the educational disadvantage of the north inner city, the area where her departmental offices are located, results from Government indifference and traditional neglect? Evidence of this can be seen in the grounds of her Department where 250 children are being taught in damp, leaking and shabby prefabs while across the road from that school——
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy is imparting information rather than seeking it.
Mr. Gregory: I am referring specifically to the north inner city area.
An Ceann Comhairle: This is Question Time.
Mr. Gregory: I would also refer the Minister to the derelict site in Seán McDermott Street where a second level community college has been promised for the past ten years and still remains to be sanctioned by the Department. Is it any wonder in that context that there is such extreme educational disadvantage in the north inner city?
Mrs. O'Rourke: I do not accept the premise in the Deputy's first supplementary question. With regard to the second, the Deputy submitted another question concerning the central model school. I have good news for the Deputy on that matter but I will reply separately to it.
Proinsias De Rossa: Will the Minister provide the Members with the list of the schools which are to receive the additional teachers, particularly the guidance teachers, from September?
[433]Mrs. O'Rourke: The list will be available shortly and I will forward it to the House.
Mr. J. Higgins: Would the Minister acknowledge that one of the big problems contributing to educational disadvantage in the city is the drop-out rate at about the age of 15 and that some inducement is needed to keep children in schools longer? There should be some sort of financial or social inducement from the point of view of getting maximum social benefit from the educational system.
Mrs. O'Rourke: All the studies show that the longer one stays at school the better one's chances in life. The PESP has made allowance for a special fund to target towards keeping people in school. This was primarily meant to go towards retaining people in second level and encouraging second level students to go to third level. I had an extensive meeting with the co-ordinator of the home school liaison scheme whose primary work relates to inducement to children to stay on at school. I agree that the longer people remain at school the better.
An Ceann Comhairle: Question No. 9 please. I am anxious to get on to other questions.
Proinsias De Rossa: In relation to Question No. 30 I am sure the Minister will acknowledge that apart from efforts being made to keep children in school there is need to deal with those who have already dropped out. There have been a number of research projects, one in Finglas, the St. Paul's project, which attempts to deal with young people who have dropped out of school. Is it intended to extend this kind of special schooling to these children? Has the Minister had an opportunity to look at a proposal from the Ballyrnun area for such a project?
Mrs. O'Rourke: I know of the projects to which the Deputy refers. Some of the components of those projects are worked into the home school liaison scheme already in operation. The Finglas project [434] is very interesting. The evaluation of that project will have an influence. It has already influenced schemes which have been initiated, though not in a formal sense. I am prepared to look at the Ballyrnun project in that context.
Mr. Gregory: Given that only 1 per cent of schoolchildren from the north inner city go on to third level, does the Minister accept the need for a special second level community school geared towards the needs of the children in that area and, if so, how many more years will we have to wait for sanction for the special community college in Sean McDermott Street?
Mrs. O'Rourke: Does the Deputy accept that the school serving the children at second level in Sean McDermott Street is doing a worthwhile job and that the principals and teachers there are strongly of the opinion that they serve the needs of their pupils very well?
Mr. Gregory: To what school is the Minister referring?
Mr. Gregory: You do not even know the school you are referring to, Minister.
Mrs. O'Rourke: I know what you are referring to.
Mr. Gregory: There is not a second level school.
Mrs. O'Rourke: Do you agree that the vocational school serving that catchment area does a very good job?
An Ceann Comhairle: Question No. 9, please.

A FATHERS' rights campaigner planned a gunpowder plot to gain publicity for his cause, a court heard yesterday.
Matthew Lloyd Starmore, 31, of Berthon Road, Little Mill, was arrested on October 30, 2009, after police found ammunition and gunpowder at the Newport guest house where he was living, Cardiff Crown Court was told.
They also found a notebook in Starmore's room, which talked about the start of a nation-wide campaign which would see "the most dramatic and climactic and most hard-hitting series of events to hit Wales since World War Two."
The book also talked about "shutting down some of the city' most fundamental necessities, pulling emergency services and police tactile units from far and further afield," and contained references to Newport's Transporter Bridge, Father's For Justice and reforms about how fathers get access to their children.
Starmore denies three counts of possessing explosives and ammunition including gunpowder, 24 rounds, and 108 bullet heads. He also denies dishonestly receiving these items knowing or believing they had been stolen.
Richard Griffiths, prosecuting, said police went to the Corporation Road guest house to arrest Starmore's co-defendant David Hodge for dishonesty offences when they found the explosive material in Hodge's room.

Newly-crowned V8 Supercar champion Jamie Whincup and teammate Craig Lowndes make no apologies if their domination is making the series boring.
Instead they've issued a challenge to the other teams to catch up.
Whincup sealed his fourth V8 title with his third place behind Lowndes at Winton in Victoria on Sunday, with one round of the series still remaining.
Their Team Vodafone was challenged heavily this season by Ford Performance Racing's (FPR) Mark Winterbottom and Will Davison.
But their response was to lift their game to unprecedented levels, sweeping all before them.
Whincup has won 12 of the 28 races so far this season, and Team Vodafone has won 17 of the past 18.
The 29-year-old Whincup has won four of the past five titles - more than Lowndes or Peter Brock.
Only the great Dick Johnson, Mark Skaife and Ian Geoghegan have won more.
"I don't find it (the domination) boring at all. Some of the greatest sporting moments - (Michael) Schumacher at his peak, watching Roger Federer clean up, (nine-time world rally champion) Sebastien Loeb, I really appreciate the guys who step up and do a phenomenal job," Whincup said.
"It doesn't need to be different winners each year to make the sporting spectacle what it is."
Lowndes said fans might find Team Vodafone's domination difficult at times but it was up to other teams to match them.
"The beauty about us and FPR is we've got two strong drivers, we've got great leadership and great structure," Lowndes said.
"When Jamie and I outdo each other, we want to keep going. We push our engineers, engineers push the team and it flows on.
"As an organisation, I've never been in anything better.
"It's really up to other teams to step up. If they want to have the same desire to win, I'm sure they'll put the effort in."
Whincup will be officially presented with his championship following the final round of the series at Sydney's Homebush street circuit from November 30 to December 2.

I was thinking. If I had named this blog 'Mother's Hidden Recipes!' or better yet, 'Flavors From My Aunt's Village', I would have had a much easier time of things. Okay, so you're asking why my job is so difficult? These recipes come with actual birth pains. This is the image that always looms before my eyes--my sister Zelal or cousin Ebru invites some friends over for dinner and has prepared a Kurdish meal. They've gotten the recipes from my website, 'Just to be sure' they think. And so I must spend my time readying these recipes, splitting the atom, so that they may set that table with pride. On a different note, I've decided that, as a 'director', I am rather frightening, one of those types infamous for her foul temper, who spews terror and strife until she gets just what she wants….

The word "smarmy" comes to mind
June 16 2008 | Jim's Blog,
by Jim
Honestly... I'm searching for the right word and I can't seem to find it.
It all just feels so darn... dirty.
The TCA... upping the bar on their own questionable tactics have floated $350,000 in taxpayer funds to an Indian tribal faction to win support for the toll road. This faction isn't a controlling faction at all... otherwise the TCA would have to reach into the taxpayers pockets deeper... like the $100,000,000 payoff the last time around.
This was the second act to last weeks TCA tragic drama. They started off the week with their Board of Directors authorizing nearly one million dollars on lobbying expenses. This is the SECOND lobbying firm they have on their payroll (which is funded by taxpayers).
I feel a movie in the works.
Die Hard: TCA. "The Payoff"
Part 1. Board spends another million dollars to buy support.
Part 2. TCA tries to buy off indiginous people with $350,000

Today we are reminiscing about our most popular blog post from 2013, "Tree houses becoming a trend in architecture?" We particularly love this post because it touches on many points that Milliken is passionate about - purposeful play, meaningful design and sustainability.
We look forward to bringing you more inspiring blog posts in the new year.
As more people are adopting a "green" outlook to life, the tendency to become closer to nature only grows. This has lead to an intriguing trend among architects and designers – tree houses!
But don't be fooled by the name. Modern tree houses are not what you would imagine finding in a backyard. Instead, they have become an expression of the relationship between nature and humanity. From state-of-the-art, eco-friendly structures – to intricately designed buildings that are "one with nature" – these tree houses might in fact deserve a second look.
Here are a few pictures of the most unique tree houses we could find – enjoy!
Completely surrounded by nature, this house is quite literally – a tree!
This state-of-the-art "facility" was designed to include LED lights and a C02 neutral system to heat and cool the spaces.
This wooden sphere is an eco-friendly living quarters, and is suspended in the air.
What an amazing view there must be from this tree house built on wooden stilts.
Blending in perfectly with the Redwood trees, this beautiful tree house is actually a restaurant.
This wondrous tree house seems to disappear into its surroundings.
Though it might look like a normal home from the inside, this cabin is uniquely built in the trees.

Veritas operations manager for SF Unix
hi team,
i created a virtual Solaris 10 machine on Vmware and i have installed Storage Foundation Standard in it.
I need a GUI interface to manage and administer SF. I downloaded VEA and VOM (add ons) both.
i installed the VEA package VRTSobgui and it has been successfully installed. i actvated and started the vxsvccrtl and the status shown ONLINE. however wen i run opt/VRTsob/bin/vea nothing happens.
I then tried installing the VOM but the files i got for VOM were in the form of .sfa, I need to know where do i put these files so that i can run the VOM with an interface.
thank you.
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You will need an X-manager if you want to run vea on the virtual machine.
Much easier if you download the Windows version and install it on your desktop.

As Marianne says, I think you need VEA client for windows which you can download from http://www.symantec.com/theme.jsp?themeid=operations_manager by clicking on http://www.symantec.com/images/masthead/popup_icon...); background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; zoom: 1; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; ">Veritas Cluster Server Java Console, Veritas Cluster Server Simulator, Veritas Enterprise Administrator Console and logging on (free account) and selecting Veritas Enterprise Administrator 3.4.30 download for Windows or whatever O/S you run as your client desktop. This will manage SF on your Solaris 10 node.
VOM is overkill to manage one node as this is a central GUI installed on a server to manage multiple servers and you access GUI by connecting to VOM server via a browser. I think you have downloaded an add-on to the VOM server (with .sfa extension) which only VOM will understand.
As Marianne says, if you want to run VEA from your Solaris node, you will need a UNIX desktop, which would normally be a Linux client or X-Windows software on Windows

If this post has answered your question then please click on "Mark as solution" link below
Assuming your launching the gui on the Solaris virtual machine... Yes? You don't say whether your current display is a graphical destop or the system "#" prompt. If you are at s "#" prompt it is likely that the X11 packages are not installed or X11 isn't running. Verify that you have the X11 packages installed. If they are installed and you do not have the graphical "Welcome" login screen in front of you, the service needs to be started. Once started you can then log in to the system using X and the VEA gui should work. If the X service is running and your gui doesn't start you would likely get a connection refused error .. In this case cover all your bases by issuing the command "xhost +" and verifying the DISPLAY variable is set to 0:0 and try again.. If you are are telneting into the system you can redirect the X display back to the system your working from which must have an X server running. This is set with the "DISPLAY" variable...

thank you for your help. I was able to connect to the Solaris virtual machine using the VEA installed on my wwindows desktop. I dont have a SPARC machine yet so i cannot test the VOM as yet. I'm still not sure if there is a way to get a graphical interface (VEA) inside the solaris machine instead of managing it from another windows machine.
We have tried to explain that you need X-manager software on the machine that you are using to connect yo the VM. If you are using your Windows desktop, this is where the X- software needs to be installed.
If you are using a text-based interface (like putty or telnet from CMD window) to connect to the Solaris VM, you cannot run a graphical interface from these windows.
X- manager software as well as DISPLAY variable on the Solaris VM.
If you are not familiar with any of this (nothing to do with VEA specifically), it is easiest to use VEA on your Windows desktop.

DENVER (MarketWatch) — America's economy began with agriculture and evolved, over centuries, into high finance.
At one end of this historical spectrum is Dean Tofteland, 50, who has been raising corn, soybeans and pigs on 2,600 acres in southwestern Minnesota for the past quarter century.
On the other is Jon Corzine, who within the same quarter century served as chairman of Goldman Sachs GS, -1.04% New Jersey's governor, a Democratic U.S. senator, and CEO of the $41 billion investment firm MF Global MFGLQ
The main difference between the two is this: Tofteland must soil his hands to produce food while Corzine simply waves down the waiter.
Adidas expects Olympic bonus
Adidas expects major sporting events and growth in emerging markets to provide a sales and earnings kick in 2012. Dow Jones's Steve McGrath has been looking at the figures and its run-in with Nike over sponsorship. Photo: Getty
The main thing they have in common is risk. Tofteland thought he was eliminating risk by hedging on the futures market in hopes of keeping his third-generation farm for his children. Corzine thought he was embracing risk to catapult himself into ever more glory and riches.
A second thing they have in common is an escrow account. To secure his hedges, Tofteland put up $253,000 in collateral at J.P. Morgan Chase. MF Global's October bankruptcy filing unexpectedly froze that account.
A third thing they have in common is that they both testified before Congress in December.
Corzine: "I simply do not know where the money is."
Tofteland: "What they call 'unlawful commingling' on Wall Street is called 'stealing' back on Main Street."
Corzine has hired a criminal lawyer as a federal grand jury subpoenas documents and witnesses, but the sheer volume and complexity of MF Global's transactions make a criminal prosecution unlikely, at least according to some recently published reports.
Tofteland hasn't hired a lawyer to sue MF Global. He's recouped most of his escrow money, but said he is still missing $80,000, not to mention trading opportunities he lost when his collateral was frozen.
Being on the more primitive end of America's economic evolution, he doesn't understand how MF Global could swiftly stick its hands in his escrow account as it spiraled into insolvency.
He didn't invest in MF Global stock. He didn't invest in the complicated European debt instruments that sent MF Global reeling. He wasn't taking the kind of risks that sound kooky in Luverne, Minn. He was simply trying to lock in some prices for soybeans and corn.
Like thousands of other farmers in his position, Tofteland thought he was putting up collateral for his hedges so investors could be sure he'd deliver his bushels. He did not think of this money as an emergency loan to MF Global.
"I thought it'd be solved by now and we'd be going on with business," Tofteland said in a telephone interview.

Chattahoochee River BacteriALERT Program Celebrates Ten Years
Program monitors and studies bacteria levels in river, informs public of water safety
Chattahoochee River Stakeholders are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the BacteriALERT Monitoring Program. Scientists taking weekly water samples are a common sight in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA). The scientists collect samples for the BacteriALERT program, designed to track bacterial levels in the Chattahoochee River and inform water users and decision makers about the river's water quality.
The Chattahoochee River provides drinking water and recreational opportunities for 3.5 million people in the Atlanta metropolitan area, but increased population growth and development continue to threaten water quality in the metro area. Sewer system failures and urban runoff are causing increasing levels of bacteria in local rivers.
Recognizing the problems presented by bacteria in the river, CRNRA, in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Cobb County Water System, Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority (CCMWA) and the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (UCR), established the BacteriALERT program in 2000 to track bacteria levels and provide information to the public on current river conditions.
"The BacteriALERT program still remains the only program of its kind in the Southeast and one of just a few in the nation where real-time data is collected in a similar public-private partnership," said Sally Bethea, UCR executive director.
Scientists with the BacteriALERT program collect and analyze water samples for total coliform and E. coli bacteria from the Chattahoochee River. Within 24 hours, results are posted on a publicly-accessible website.
"This program has greatly expanded our scientific understanding of bacteria in the Chattahoochee River," said Ed Martin, USGS district chief. "This knowledge is used to promote the maximum safest recreational use of the river by the public."
"These water quality reports are helpful in deciding whether or not to recreate in the Chattahoochee on any given day," said Rick Slade, National Park Service CRNRA chief of science and resource management. "Our samples show that for the most part, the water in the CRNRA is safe for recreation by people in good health."
"However, when the river is muddy after it rains, bacteria levels can be very high from sewer overflows and runoff from yards, streets and industrial areas. This is not a good time to get too close to the water," said Steve Lawrence, USGS water quality specialist. During 2009, E. coli levels in the Chattahoochee River were above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's recommended safe level 20% of the days.
Readings from the BacteriALERT program also will help provide a better understanding of the weather and water conditions that affect bacteria levels. Currently, an estimation model is being developed by the USGS that will predict E. coli bacteria levels in real time under a wide range of seasonal, weather and river conditions.

Review of Irish-medium Education 2009
Sir George Bain, in the Report of the Independent Strategic Review of Education (the Bain Report), December 2006, recommended that DE should develop a comprehensive and coherent policy for Irish-medium education.
The Department accepted this recommendation and initiated a major review of the development of Irish Medium Education to ensure high quality provision and outcomes for all children in the sector. The majority of recommendations are either achieved or progressed considerably. The Department is taking forward work on any recommendations which have not yet been fully implemented.

A Tour of Egypt's Half-Finished Revolution
February 17, 2012
I arrived in the Egyptian town of Edfu on a Friday in early February. The temple there, a wondrous reminder of the Egyptian pharaohs' obsession with eternity and architectural monumentalism, was eerily quiet and empty of tourists. But the silence was more than filled by the blaring sound of the Friday sermon, broadcast over loudspeakers at unavoidably high volume.
Spring Break
December 14, 2011
December 2 was supposed to be "Heroes of Mohamed Mahmoud Friday" in Cairo. The previous week, around 40 people had been killed by security forces while demonstrating in Tahrir Square, with the worst violence occurring on adjacent Mohamed Mahmoud Street. To memorialize the dead, Egypt's youth activists had called for a million-man march, complete with parachute-sized Egyptian flags to convey their spirit and mock coffins to convey their sadness. Yet, for the second time in five days, the call for a million protesters to show up in Tahrir Square yielded just hundreds.
A Visit With a Fundamentalist Member of Egypt's New Parliament
December 10, 2011
Giza, Egypt—In this city's lower-income neighborhood of Talbiya, situated just across the Nile from Cairo, women carry piles of pita on their heads through narrow, dirt-paved roads, squeezing past donkey-pulled carts. Amid the fuel fumes, and fly-swarmed food stands, there's also a health clinic. It's run by Hesham Abouel Nasr, a henna-bearded television preacher who also happens to be the local secretary-general for the Salafist—that is to say, Islamic fundamentalist—Nour Party.
Rapped Up
February 25, 2011
The month of February gave observers of African politics a curious case study in political geography. At one end of the Nile, protesters in Egypt were breaking the chains of autocracy through the revolution in Tahrir Square. At the other end of the Nile, voters in Uganda were preparing for an election that ultimately gave the country's quasi-autocratic ruler, Yoweri Museveni, another five years in power.
The End of the Affair
June 22, 2010
On Twitter this afternoon we had some fun remembering French embarrassments in Africa: the Battle of the Nile, Fashoda, Mers El Kebir, Suez, Bocassa, Rwanda and now, of course, South Africa 2010. Flippant, obviously, but France's meltdown this tournament has been richly entertaining (the shame of it is that Les Bleus cannot meet England. Now *that* would be a perversely amusing moment of anti-entertainment). Apart from the Irish, no one has enjoyed this tournament more than the French themselves. Few countries, after all, do self-mortification quite as well as the French.
The End of Hunger?
January 02, 2010
Famine: A Short History By Cormac Ó Gráda (Princeton University Press, 327 pp., $27.95) The earliest recorded famines, according to Cormac Ó Gráda in his brief but masterful book, are mentioned on Egyptian stelae from the third millennium B.C.E. In that time--and to an extent, even today, above the Aswan dam in Sudan--farmers along the Nile were dependent on the river flooding to irrigate their fields. But one flood out of five, Ó Gráda tells us, was either too high or too low. The result was often starvation.
Fast Times
October 30, 2006
Sitting among Madonna's tassel-tipped corset, a jumpsuit worn by a member of ZZ Top, and other framed memorabilia, Egyptian families wait at their empty tables in silence. A 50-inch flat-screen television overhead plays music videos of the Killers and Nine Inch Nails, while waiters weave aimlessly around the booths. As the sun dips below the Nile, a Red Hot Chili Peppers video is unceremoniously interrupted—the guitar solo replaced by a solemn, baritone voice. "In the name of Allah, the most merciful," it begins in Arabic.

Ethiopia: Lesson in War
July 17, 1935
This is a bad season for those who still believe that international agreements, among nations constituted as at present, can prevent war. Let us look for a moment at the Italian-Ethiopian situation as an example. Italy and Ethiopia are both members in good standing of the League of Nations. As such they have made a solemn covenant to settle their disputes peaceably and to join in sanctions against any nation that declines to submit to such peaceable adjustment.
