Topic: Counseling starts next week...
Hi all,
I've been having such a hard time lately dealing with the passing of my dad. It feels like the first two weeks were my "numb time" and now its really kicking in. I can't sleep for my life, my mind is just keeping me awake, even if i take sleeping medicine, i can't get to sleep. I was actually able to sleep last night, but my dreams were so wacky, similar to how you dream when you have a high fever, so it was not restless.
I'm hoping therapy will help me try to understand my own feelings and get through this time a little easier...it will at least give me someone to talk to that i won't stress out more (I know my pain/difficulty dealing with this is making things harder for my mom and husband).
I've been to counseling before when i was younger, but for different reasons. Are there certain things I should be talking about in the first appt? Should I make a list of my biggest concerns/things that are causing me the most anxiety to try and make the most of the appt?
Thanks to all of you for letting me get my thoughts out on virtual paper
I love you, Daddy.

Exit polls from a state election in Germany suggest there was no outright winner. Such a result would strip Angela Merkel's government of its majority in the Bundesrat, the upper house of parliament in Berlin. This would make legislation harder to pass, and could affect the scale and speed of future eurozone bail-outs.

I am looking for a secure contact form that I can implement in my website. I found some scripts with Google, but when I read the comments I saw warnings that these scripts weren't secure (prone to injections etc.). Is there a good script out there that is known to be secure and thus safe to use?
Hi sophieschoice. There are lots of them, indeed. I have a long list bookmarked, but have a look at this one, which is very secure and also very accessible:
[edit]Actually, there's a version 3 new:
Hi Ralph,
Thank you very much! This script sounds indeed very good, I am going to play with this one!
Do you perhaps know if this one is also a secure script? http://www.html-form-guide.com/contact-form/simple-php-contact-form.html
I just downloaded it and had a look at the code. It looks pretty secure to me, though I don't have the most expert eye by a long shot. It checks for a valid email address, and protects your fields from malicious injections, so that's pretty good. It doesn't check so well that some silly characters are entered into some fields, though, which is a minus.
Just a thought, but why not add a field to your form that asks a question like 8-2+3= and validate it on your action page.Bots can't answer questions and probably wouldn't know if a question even existed. I've used this concept for years and never had a problem (famous last words)
As I said - just a thought.
The first form I linked to actually has something like that. Personally, if I have something like that, I prefer to hide it in a "honeypot" field. An alternative is to have a time stamp on the form. There was a nice discussion about these options here:
Wufoo...secure as can be. Let someone else handle the forms and their security. (It is free enough for simple sites and contact forms!)
Hi, it's been almost a year since you recommended Green-Beast. Are they still your favorite? I need to implement a super simple contact form where the user types in a name, phone and email and clicks Submit, and an email goes to a hard-coded email address. I don't want bad guys to do anything malicious like send spam from the site.
Hi TanyaS, welcome to the forums.
Generally it's a very poor idea to revive old threads as the participants are unlikely to see your post.
I think you quoted the wrong member, I think you meant @ralph_m; no?
It's certainly a reputable option, so worth a look, for sure.

- Let the colors of Holi spread the message of peace and happiness.
- Holi, the festival of colors, is another seasonal festival associated with Hinduism. At this time, everybody splashes colored water or powder all over each other. It is wonderful because it reflects exactly what is occurring in nature at that time – when all the beautiful flowers of different colors are blossoming. By celebrating this event we feel a greater oneness with nature. This splashing of colors was also a famous 'lila' in Shri Krishna's life.
- The dominant idea behind Holi festival is that we should live more in harmony with nature instead of trying to destroy her and make her our slave.
- Holi is a time to reach out with the colors of joy. It is the time to love and forgive. It is the time expresses the happiness of being loved and to be loved through colors.
- Holi is a special time of year to remember those who are close to our hearts with splashing colors!

Saint Elizabeth Announces its Fifth Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Event – Power of PinkSeptember 18 2013
Lincoln, Neb. – Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center announces its fifth annual Breast Cancer Awareness event – Power of Pink – will be held on Tuesday, October 1. The community-wide event begins at six in the evening, and the finale is at dark when the east side of the hospital will be lit in pink.
Breast cancer survivors are invited to sign a StarTran bus wrapped in pink or guests can sign in honor of a loved one. The bus can be seen throughout Lincoln for the next year. Guests will also enjoy a light dinner and musical entertainment.
"We are excited to kickoff Breast Cancer Awareness month with our annual Power of Pink event," says Mary Trauernicht, director, oncology services at Saint Elizabeth Cancer Institute. "Saint Elizabeth will be lit in pink for the entire month of October. It will serve as an important reminder that we need to continue to fight against the disease."
It is estimated that in 2013, more than 1,200 women in Nebraska will be diagnosed with the disease. The impact doesn't end there. It extends to family members, friends, caregivers and coworkers.
"For us, this October is even more meaningful as it marks the one year anniversary of the opening of the Saint Elizabeth Breast Care Center," adds Trauernicht. "We fight breast cancer every day. But, October serves as a good reminder on the importance of the topic. It opens the door for conversations about the significance of doing breast self-exams, annual mammograms and preventive care."
At the event, luminaries recognizing survivors or loved ones lost to breast cancer will be placed on the walking path around the lake. You can purchase a luminary with a free will donation. Proceeds will go to the Saint Elizabeth Foundation Cancer Institute fund, which helps women right here in Lincoln and the surrounding areas.
You can purchase a luminary at www.SaintElizabethOnline.com/PowerofPink, or they will be for sale the night of the event. Luminary orders placed online will be decorated by the Saint Elizabeth breast cancer support group.
This October, Saint Elizabeth wants Lincoln to see and feel the Power of Pink. They asked staff and cancer survivors what the Power of Pink means to them. And, they are asking the community to visit www.facebook.com/SaintElizabethRegionalMedicalCenter to weigh in on what the Power of Pink means to you.

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting, as well as in the default pantheon in D&D, Nerull is the Flan god of death, darkness, murder and the underworld. He is known as the Reaper, the Foe of All Good, the Hater of Life, and the Bringer of Darkness.
Nerull is usually seen as a robed skeleton, carrying a scythe called "Lifecutter". His alignment is Neutral Evil, and his clerics are feared throughout the lands as cold, calculating murderers. Nerull is the patron deity of those who seek the greatest evil for their own enjoyment or gain.
Other aspectsEdit
Among the Bakluni, Nerull is known as Tharoth the Reaper. He is viewed in this context as a servant of Istus, in charge of ending mortal lives upon her command.

Jim Whitt This started out as a pure labor of love. My wife Karan asked me to write a story for our granddaughter Lily's fourth birthday. I had just written a couple podcasts, so I said sure. She did the pictures, and I did the story and layout. We chose Blurb because we could print only a few copies for family. What surprised us was that everyone who read the book, including Lily's parents, said we had to put this book on the market. So, after much effort to polish and perfect, here is Lily's book. We hope you enjoy looking through the preview, and making a purchase if you choose. Regardless, thanks for stopping by.

A recently overheard wisecrack at a dinner table: "Jesus is coming; eat your dessert first!" It wasn't meant irreverently, though some would be sure to take offense, nor do I believe it was said with any intention at making a contemporary commentary on church culture. But it did. Yes. I think so.
Pardon me if this comes across as dour, cynical or dubious about anyone's sincerity other than my own. Because I do believe the vast majority of pastors and church leaders are serious about God, their ministries, characters and solidity in the Word, joined to sanity regarding Holy Spirit-filled life, practice, worship and gift-ministry.
But there's a lot of "dessert first" thinking out there as you scan the horizon of church life--and I don't mean just among us charismatics. It's everywhere. The "it" I refer to is a growing mind-set among some that is shaped by short-term goals and solely pragmatic means for seeking what will inevitably become short-lived "success."
I heard of one leader acknowledging the "short shelf life" of a technique he had found for drawing crowds, and another disdaining any preaching that utilized a text of more than five verses because "reading any more Bible than that will lose attention."
Add to this the ease with which exposition is set aside for the sake of "communication," and Internet humor becomes the key to sustaining audience attention in sermons, and the idea of true shepherding--leading and feeding the flock for the long haul--becomes a decreasing concern, except among the thoughtful, the thirsty and those who are hungry for righteousness in an hour that only "kingdom come" will make a truly lasting difference.
I'm very much "into" this arena of concern today, motivated for the most part by my continuing and deepening picture of what pastors are really seeking--that is, the pastors who are truly shepherd-hearted and true servants of Jesus' flock. My exposure every month to another new group of 45 senior pastors, who always represent a considerable spectrum of age, affiliation, church size, ethnicity and educational background, provides an affirmation.
While a lot of "puff" blows in the Christian media and entertainment realm, and competitors scramble to be acknowledged as the next mega-mogul, the growing evidence is that there are actually a preponderance of pastors willing to "wait for dessert." In other words, they are looking at the issue: "How do I lead in a way that lasts, builds for time, runs in a way as to finish well, serves to grow people, not 'my ministry,' and lives to offer the sacrifice of my life for Christ, not to advance my success under His name?"
My present passion to serve and mentor precious pastors not only finds expression (and discoveries for me every month) in my School of Pastoral Nurture, but also shapes the formation of our annual autumn leadership conference at The Church on the Way. This year's conference (Nov. 4-6) is themed, "Going the Distance: Growing and Building a Trustworthy Ministry That Is Alive, Aglow and Abiding--Living, Loving and Lasting."
In brief, that says it all. But not long after I had set the agenda for the gathering and assembled speakers (including Rod Caesar, Tommy Barnett, Jim Reeve, Sonny Arguinzoni and Mrs. Willie Jordan, with others), I was asked for an interview regarding pastoral priorities and what qualities are most important to shaping pastor-leaders of worth.
For what it's worth, I want to pass on a summary of my answers to the interviewer. If you're interested in more detail, I'm elaborating these issues in a series of postings on my Web site (www.jackhayford.com); just click the path leading to my communiqués on our autumn leadership conference.
Question: What are the marks of a good and faithful pastoral ministry?
Answer: I would prioritize seven: (1) servant spirit toward people; (2) consistency and fidelity to God's Word; (3) purity in morals and integrity in ethics; (4) commitment in marriage and family; (5) trustworthy and practical in business and finance; (6) hospitable and gracious in relationships; and (7) a heart of compassion for the larger community, both Christian and non-Christian.
Question: What habits and practices do you feel can sustain a good ministry over time?
Answer: The basics, in my view, are born of the above priorities and are a combination of habits that are both spiritually focused and honest in relationships:
pursuit and cultivation of a strong, intimate walk with Christ
constant hunger for and growth in the Word of God
prioritizing of one's marriage relationship and family life
refusal to accrue debt or succumb to a self-serving lifestyle
building accountable relationships with a small group of peers
choosing to remain unconstrained by opportunism, ecclesiastical separatism or intellectualized vanity.
Question: What are the major challenges you see facing pastors in ministry today?
Answer: With a broad brush, I would note four things, recognizing other issues still remain:
increasing intensity of the spiritual battle, intensified moral temptations and the threats related to a cultural weakening in marriage commitments
reduced societal respect for the pastoral office, which discourages and begets a sense of reduced worth among leaders
false definitions of success projected by reason of media and mega-ministries, which create illusions for pursuit and monsters of intimidation
general absence of a clearly focused definition of church, its ministry and a pastor's role in cultivating people who truly find their identity in Christ and who are led to minister in His name.
Question: What do you feel are the things that either inhibit or encourage the practice of good ministry?
Answer: Let me simply note two in each category. First, things that inhibit the practice of good ministry:
a lack of prophetic vision and clear focus on our lives and times, leading to a business-as-usual rather than a poised-for-the-moment stance, and a preach/ teach-from-the-textbook habit of convenience rather than bothering to seek the mind of the Spirit for one's messages from the Word
a lack of perspective on realities of spiritual conflict (resulting in "wrestling flesh and blood" rather than confronting "principalities and powers"), and a lack of discernment of the true pastoral task of seeking to shape big people more than being trapped in the pursuit of building a big church.
Things that encourage:
holding a broad view of grace, secured in a theology that places worth and value on God's purpose in humankind
maintaining strength and mutuality with one's spouse, so that your love, companionship, partnership and sense of being called together provides a foundation of conviction about your life and purpose, no matter what.
Question: What types of activities that support pastoral ministry need to be expanded?
Answer: There is a need to move from the traditional dependency upon what I call "professionally focused" conferences to "prophetically focused" gatherings. Pastors and church leaders do need to hone skills, learn methods and cultivate capacities at a business, informational and functional dimension. But these pursuits, as obvious as is their value, too easily distract from those things that are the fundamental essence of ministry. Pastors need, and I believe hunger for, more:
in-depth interaction with proven pastoral leaders, focusing on the practical and spiritual sides of ministry more than merely the theological and academic sides
insight into the keys of vital, sound-minded power-ministry that transcends "a show," and into the ways of vibrant kingdom dynamics for leading a congregation in its prayer, worship, intercessory and ministry life
cultivation of fellowship and relationship with fellow pastors in the larger community.
It is a thrilling thing to be at the time of life I am (I just turned 68) and at the time we all are--into a new century, and so near Jesus' return! At such a time, much more is needed than a quick "dessert." Indeed, I have something of an agenda to propose: That the shorter the time we have, the more we need "the right stuff"--the spiritual substance that lasts...and lasts.
The hour is becoming darker, and the battle storms more intense. Accordingly, we need weighty light amid darkness that can be felt, and we need firm anchoring as the winds of spiritual adversity swirl at hurricane proportions.
Yes, Jesus is coming! As fellow leaders called to "run the race with patience" and to "fight the good fight--faithful unto death," we need to skip the dessert table and check in at the Savior's training table. Meet you there.

Join us for the final book club of the season! We'll be discussing Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky:
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Celebrated in pre-WWII France for her bestselling fiction, the Jewish Russian-born Némirovsky was shipped to Auschwitz in the summer of 1942, months after this long-lost masterwork was composed. Némirovsky, a convert to Catholicism, began a planned five-novel cycle as Nazi forces overran northern France in 1940. This gripping "suite," collecting the first two unpolished but wondrously literary sections of a work cut short, have surfaced more than six decades after her death. The first, "Storm in June," chronicles the connecting lives of a disparate clutch of Parisians, among them a snobbish author, a venal banker, a noble priest shepherding churlish orphans, a foppish aesthete and a loving lower-class couple, all fleeing city comforts for the chaotic countryside, mere hours ahead of the advancing Germans. The second, "Dolce," set in 1941 in a farming village under German occupation, tells how peasant farmers, their pretty daughters and petit bourgeois collaborationists coexisted with their Nazi rulers. In a workbook entry penned just weeks before her arrest, Némirovsky noted that her goal was to describe "daily life, the emotional life and especially the comedy it provides." This heroic work does just that, by focusing—with compassion and clarity—on individual human dramas. (Apr. 18)

Feature in Science Magazine
I am very happy to report that I am featured in this week's science magazine! The magazine isn't freely available online but I am posting just the little section on me here in case anyone is interested in reading it!
Facing the Genetic Future
Sitting in a therapist's office, New York City artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg discovered a hair
lodged in a crack in the glass covering a painting on the wall. "I stared at it for an hour,"
she says. "I couldn't stop wondering who it belonged to, and what I could find out about
that person."
After reading a story in Science about the new field of forensic DNA phenotyping
(18 February 2011, p. 838), Dewey-Hagborg decided to turn her fascination into an art
project. She collected 11 hairs left around the city by strangers and learned how to test their
DNA at a genetics lab. Now, she's printing three dimensional masks, or approximations, of those
people's faces, which will be on display—along with her own—in a January exhibition called Stranger
Visions. The masks reflect eye color, geographical roots, sex, and other traits, but not exact facial
features because forensic phenotyping can't fill in all the details. But it might one day, and with ever
cheaper sequencing, an era of "genetic surveillance" is looming, says Dewey-Hagborg. "As a society, we
need to have a discussion about that."

There are lots of great resources out there on how to skin your Flex applications. Quick recap: Flex supports two approaches to skinning: graphical and programmatic. Graphical skinning involves creating graphical assets in Flash, Photoshop, Fireworks, etc. and embedding them in your Flex application. Programmatic skinning involves creating an ActionScript class which defines the skin for a control. As you might guess, graphical skinning is easier, programmatic skinning more powerful.
One drawback to both approaches is that the skinned resources (SWF/PNG/GIF/etc. for graphical skins, the AS class file for programmatic skins) must be available at compile-time for the skins to be applied. Or do they? In this post I'll describe a neat trick for pulling in graphical skins at run-time (using a live demo with source code).
To make this example as simple as possible, I'm going to create a Flex app that allows the Button control to be dynamically skinned. This app will pull down a skinning SWF at runtime, load the skins, and apply them to the Button control. Again, to keep it simple I'm going to use the skin template file provided in NJ's skinning article, and apply the RadioButton skins to the Button control. (A tip of the cap to Roger Gonzalez and NJ for basically coming up with this solution.)
Step #1: Create a wrapper SWF for the skin assets
The skin assets are in the aforementioned skin template file. I want to create a wrapper SWF that my Flex app can load at runtime and from which it can extract the appropriate assets, in this case the four symbols for the RadioButton control. Here's the source for wrapper SWF:
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Wrapper extends Sprite
public var rbUpSkin: Class;
public var rbDownSkin: Class;
public var rbDisabledSkin: Class;
public var rbOverSkin: Class;
Step #2: Put the wrapper SWF on your web server
The Flex app needs to load the wrapper SWF from somewhere!
Step #3: In your Flex app, use a Loader to load the wrapper SWF
I created a utility class called ClassLoader to wrap up functionality related to loading the SWF and extracting the class. Here are the key lines:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);
request = new URLRequest(swfLib);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
loader.load(request, context);
Notice that the Loader loads the SWF into an ApplicationDomain that has the current domain as its parent. This is the key to ensuring that the app can access the loaded class and its assets.
Step #4: Get the class from the loaded SWF and instantiate it
Here we load the Class using an agreed-upon className (in this case, "Wrapper"):
var wrapperClass:Class = loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(className) as Class;
var wrapper:Object = new wrapperClass();
Step #5: Apply the skins using setStyle
You can apply the skins to a particular instance of Button or to all instances of Button. Here's the latter approach:
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("Button").setStyle("upSkin", wrapper.rbUpSkin);
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("Button").setStyle("downSkin", wrapper.rbDownSkin);
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("Button").setStyle("disabledSkin", wrapper.rbDisabledSkin);
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("Button").setStyle("overSkin", wrapper.rbOverSkin);
Step #6: Run the app
My sample app (running live here, with "View Source" enabled) displays a text field where you can enter the URL of the wrapper SWF (also live here). Enter the wrapper SWF's URL, click the "Apply" button, and you'll see that the button now looks like an oversized radio button. As you mouse over or click on the button, you'll notice that its appearance changes to display the appropriate skin. If you create your own wrapper SWF which exposes a different set of symbols with the same class names (rbUpSkin, etc.), you could point the sample app at it and have it load and display a different set of skins.
So why would you want to do this? Dynamic skinning gives you one incredibly powerful benefit: you can let your users put their skins on your app. Imagine an MP3 player like Winamp built in Flex. The developer doesn't need to create a library of skins for the app, he/she can just expose a UI for setting the skin SWF (perhaps in the Preferences dialog) and let the user pick and choose from whatever skins the community comes up with. Equally important, the developer has fine-grained control over which controls can be skinned and which should retain their original skins (by only calling setStyle on the desired controls). And last but not least, keeping the skins outside of the application SWF will keep the application file size from exploding as the skins proliferate (with a minor but certainly-acceptable-to-the-user performance hit when the skins are loaded).

Did you know?
The largest recorded tiger shark weighed in at a whopping 3 110kg
South Africa is one of the few countries in the world that offers cage-free diving tours with tiger sharks. Though it is considered a high-risk activity, strict procedures are followed to ensure diver safety at all times.
The warm waters of the Indian Ocean along South Africa's east coast provide an ideal environment for tiger sharks, and tiger shark diving tours are offered from various venues in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape.
The Aliwal Shoal region of the KwaZulu-Natal coast is one of the most popular spots for tiger shark diving, with several diving operators offering this adventure activity all year round. In the Eastern Cape, the beautiful coastal town of Port St Johns has been the setting for many tiger shark diving adventures.
A tiger shark dive usually takes divers between 8m and 10m below the surface of the ocean. Visibility in east coast waters averages at 15m. Water temperatures in this region during summer months (November to May) can be as warm as 28°C, and very rarely drop below 18°C.
Tiger sharks are marked by dark stripes running down the sides of their bodies, reminiscent of those of the large feline predator from which they take their name, and can grow up to 5m in length.
Experts advise divers to stay upright in the water at all times, to ensure that sharks do not confuse them with marine wildlife. Participants will need to have completed a diving course before being allowed on the dive, but there are numerous diving schools in South Africa that offer courses.
Anyone with a love for diving – especially underwater photographers – will leave with memories and images to last a lifetime.

Best time to visit
Though the water remains warm in winter, summer is the best time to enjoy a tiger shark dive.
Get around
Because of a lack of public transport options along the east coast of South Africa, travellers are advised to hire their own vehicle.
What will it cost
A tiger shark diving experience of up to 2 hours will cost between R1 200 and R1 500 per person.
Length of stay
A tiger shark dive is a full-day activity.
What to pack
Bring your own diving gear if you have. Otherwise you can rent all the gear you need, while some operators will include the cost of rental equipment in the tour package.

sample the album:
"The co-bowed industry recorded here sounds exactly as you will discover, contingent on your subsequent listens. It interrogates, employs and deploys a common system - the bow and its range of purchase.
The bows here-used follow parallel clines of provenance, from the generic to the unique. Jennifer Allum alternates two, a 17th century German and a 'conveyor-belt' bow. Eddie Prevost switches between a similarly mass-produced model and two bows of historic largesse, gifts from his friends, and erstwhile AMM colleagues, Lou Gare and Lawrence Sheaff. The latter bass bow arcs us, from now, back to the point, some time in 1966, when AMM in situ heuristics engendered an extension of the hard-bop-drum-kit norm. Prevost made the transition from discrete, percussion-struck sounds to a rhythmic practice able, suddenly, to accommodate an endless beat. He intuited the bowed sustain of, first, the arco-potential of a room's features, and naturally, soon after, cymbal edges.
Allum's even older bow harks back centuries earlier to the same late-Renaissance Mitteleuropan locale that also bore the violin she plays, and much of its historic repertoires. Her history of bowing has followed, and more recently departed from, a trajectory of violin convention of similar origin. Via the self-described repertory 'predominantly of experimental and indeterminate music post-1945' of the Post Quartet - the London string quartet of which she is a founding and current member - her music making has become increasingly concerned with, and public in, its focus on improvisation and investigation. Or, perhaps, more properly and accurately an interest in investigation through improvisation, as she explains.
"As time has gone on [my] interest in sound has remained, but has been superseded or equaled by other things. Things like language, human interaction, and politics. Improvising, to me, is another voice. I have the opportunity to develop a language that might permit me to communicate better with others. Rather like getting to know somebody, one develops the ability to (hopefully) know when not to say something, or how to say it in the 'right' way. In part this is also about knowing myself better through this kind of exploration - testing to find out where my parameters are too. It is also quite a democratic activity. In other music making ones technical ability almost always comes into it. Sometimes technical skill is a good thing, but not always, and it can often get in the way."
The nature and motives of the investigations in which she is involved are, to her,
"to do with focusing on potential - in music, in sound, and in relationships with the other musicians and my violin - and remaining alert to this. The investigation is something like working on a mental attitude to not presume, take anything for granted, and to always be open to the possibility of an alternative. For these recordings, I am surprised by how much of a constraint I found only using the bow on the violin - no fingers. So these dedicated sessions that were centered on the bow, forced me to start reexamining and reevaluating it in quite a contained way - to a greater extent than perhaps in the workshop."
Mutual study is explicit here; three of these duets are titled thus, 'investigative studies'. The fourth, longer, piece is similar in practice, if not in name. All four present the socio-sonic activity that Prevost and Allum agree is consistent with a broader, evolving investigative study encompassed by and largely shared within the weekly workshop that both regularly attend. This workshop was the site of their initial meeting; Jenny recalls first playing with Eddie there in a combination of some form, in the Autumn of 2005. Curious, she had found her way there on moving to London.
"I first came to the workshop because I was interested in the inherent qualities of sound. I had become more heavily interested in contemporary music when I was [studying] at York, but became increasingly aware that the aesthetics of High Modernism were dominating - Boulez, Birtwistle and so on - ideas that weren't even new by then! There were obviously other ways that music might happen, so I was digging around for them [...] coming in the first year or so was originally about trying to explore the boundaries of sound for myself. As I'd always played the violin this was the obvious instrument to be doing it on. I love playing my violin, but I don't always enjoy a lot of the music that goes with being a violinist."
Prevost had already been convening the workshop, to the extent that convention is an appropriate term, weekly, since the late autumn of 1999; in some ways redolent of his hebdomadal AMM work, decades previous, from which his apparatus here date. In fact, by 2005 the workshop had in a certain sense come to convene itself on Friday nights,a collective, equal exchange of ideas and energies. It was less a result of their shared weekly activity that the idea to produce this recording came about five years later, than a continuation of the on-going activity itself. For, Jenny suggests, the practice here documented is that of the workshop, 'as far as I am aware and intend'. Eddie agrees. 'After all' he adds, such activity 'is the basis of [their] musical association. The extended sessions (as it were) are a development'. Further, as such a development, they are development itself and this, in a fundamental sense, corollary to investigation, is the workshop practice.
Everywhere, the orthodox systems of our times anticipate the careful and clear presentation of ready-worked-out on-tap outcomes, throughout our lives. Said systems seldom afford focused vantage on the vagaries, protean problems, the awkward wealth, of investigation itself. Generally, the on-goings of development are hidden, edited or simply unseen; what has been developed over time is rendered public, honed for appreciation after the fact, variously knowable, reproducible and endorsable qua final product or record. So what, given its explicitly investigative, on-going nature is the thinking behind making this recorded document, this working study, public? Whence the quality, the value in listening to a man and a woman, using similar tools, explore, discover, perhaps have ideas, or not, as the case may be? Jenny's response is, as the practice, itself modally uncertain, but purposeful.
"It would be that I often find the process of something more interesting than, or equal to, the final product. I don't see this practice as having the possibility of 'private background work'. The studies are the work, which hopefully will extend across a lifetime, and this is a (form of) document of what Eddie and I did at these times."
Eddie, similarly, suggests that,
"the 'investigative nature' of the enterprise is its core aesthetic. It only becomes presentational (for an audience) after the fact. Out of this process can come a positive sonic offering that (embraces, embodies and perhaps) transcends the immediate practice of investigation. Those disposed to its philosophy may find something of interest and possibly beauty. I think this example more than sufficiently confirms these objectives and hopes."
[...]"-Seymour Wright. 2011.

Super Wal-Mart For Toms River & Manchester Status Unknown
Remember the proposed Super Wal-Mart for Toms River and Manchester? It was a project that was first announced nearly a decade ago.
Right now, shrouded in mystery is the best way to describe the fate of the plan that would put an almost 200,000 square foot store on Route 37.
The project had been riddled with problems. First, it was a pine snake on the properly and environmentalists outraged about the destruction of its habitat. Once that worked out, there was an issue obtaining the permits from the state. That was eventually rectified. Then a lawsuit from the owners of the Manchester Shop-Rite posed a threat. That part may still be in litigation. The owners were attempting to block it to protect their own business, accusing the town of violating an agreement.
The project has now hit another snag where not even town officials know the status of what's going on. Manchester Mayor Michael Fressola is frustrated with the whole thing. He tells us "I am surprised this project was not spearheaded quicker especially after all the initial delays. I don't think the lawsuit has anything to do with the holdup."
Fressola believes the economy is to blame. He is confident the store will be built at some point but can't say for sure.
He adds "the problem is whenever I go to the senior villages, everyone's first question still remains what's happening with the Wal-Mart. I always have to answer I don't know. I wish we could have shovels in the ground tomorrow but that's not happening."
Toms River Mayor Tom Kelaher is also unclear of the status of things.
Townsquare Media attempted to reach the attorney on the project several times yesterday. All calls went unreturned.

Microsoft is launching Windows 8 this fall, and touch, one of the newer ways of interacting with devices, will be a first class citizen at par with keyboard and mouse. The Apple iPad® has already made a splash and people are elated. Corporates are piloting touchscreen devices, and many IT professionals – from UI designers to CEOs, have already started carrying iPads instead of regular laptops. Where has this change left us- the technical writers? In this technologically ever-changing world of touch, how do technical writers adapt and stay relevant?
As the industry changes, so do job roles and skills. We are living in a world that is constantly evolving. Technical writers need to equip themselves for the touch world. The future of the technical writers is evolving into two categories. Writers producing documentation for enterprise products would fall into one category. The second category nests writers from the non-enterprise world. These writers (non-enterprise) are more accustomed to the Instructional Design paradigm; for example, a writer who develops content for the touch-based apps.
The non-enterprise writers would work on a lot of short-term projects and need to learn more skills than core writing. These writers would contribute to preparing tutorials, videos, and building community for the product. One such example is Photoshop Touch. Photoshop Touch has a product tutorial that explains the step-by-step usage of the product.
The enterprise technical writers would still be closer to the traditional technical writer paradigm, and these writers would acquire in-depth domain knowledge. These writers may become super-users of the product and can be the voice of the customers in a company. Subject matter expertise and customer-facing experience could enable enterprise writers to suggest new features for a product.
Change is here, in the form of touch apps; probably a good time to pick a tablet and ponder over the change.

PCI What?
During a recent hotel stay, the front desk clerk asked for my credit card at check in. Not an unexpected request. What was surprising, however, was what the clerk did with my credit card. I marveled as she made an imprint of my credit card onto my registration form, where my name, address, frequent traveler and telephone numbers were also clearly printed, and proceeded to place the registration form on the counter where my information was visible to other guests and hotel employees. Already suspecting the answer, I asked politely if the hotel was complaint with PCI Standards. "PC what?" she asked with a friendly smile.
I gave her more specifics: "Is the hotel Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant?" She had no idea what I was talking about. Later I sent an e-mail to the general manager where I explained what took place and asked my question again. I never received an answer.
Under the PCI DSS, a business or organization should be able to assure its customers that their credit card data, account information and transaction information is safe from hackers or any malicious system intrusion (www.pcicomplianceguide.org). This includes physical copies of consumers' credit card information. When credit card information is accessible in combination with a consumer's identifying information, it's a recipe for identity theft.
During a recent hospitality-related conference, I had a chance to chat with many operators. I asked them the same question: Are you compliant? The answer I got was the same: We do not know.
There is still a great deal of confusion surrounding PCI Standards in the hospitality industry. Some operators report hearing that compliance is optional, not mandatory. Others think their software vendor is responsible for compliance. Vendors are also confused. Some think it is the operator's responsibility, while others place ownership squarely on the credit card authorization company. However, once a consumer sues a hotel or restaurant and wins a multi-million dollar lawsuit for identity theft as a result of non-compliance, everybody will be clear.
By the end of this year, any organization accepting payment card transactions must be in compliance with PCI DSS. In my experience, most hospitality professionals think that complying with PCI DSS is someone else's responsibility. Consider it your responsibility and do your checkups early before it is too late. Non-compliance with PCI DSS has serious monetary consequences and can also have a detrimental impact on public opinion. Compliance with PCI DSS is a lengthy process, therefore it is important to start early. After all, these precautions will better secure your network and ultimately help protect the future of your business.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to every organization that processes credit or debit card information, including merchants and third-party service providers that store, process or transmit credit card/debit card data. Literally, all hospitality organizations will qualify under this.
If you are one of the above, PCI compliance is not a request or suggestion. It is now a requirement.
Create a task force for PCI compliance. This taskforce should include entry and management level representatives from IT and operations. If possible, an advisor from the vendor community is quite beneficial. Once this taskforce is ready, it should conduct an internal audit to determine current level of compliance. The tools needed for this audit are easily available online at www.pcisecuritystan dards.org.
Extra attention should be paid to any wireless transactions. Wireless technology is considered the least secure by the PCI Council. Therefore, wireless hospitality applications that carry credit card information such as a wireless point of sale terminal should be evaluated very carefully.

Look at the gorgeous Christina Hendricks as she's featured in the recent Los Angeles Times Magazine.We don't get to see her glorious curves, but we do get a peek at these five retro glam beauty looks. Here's a little peek from the interview.
As a woman, I have to say the retro underwear on Mad Men actresses looks like utter torture. Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong. We're so used to it now, but those undergarments really aren't made for relaxing. If I get my entire costume on, and I have to wait a few hours for my next scene, I have to learn how to position myself, otherwise the boning presses into my guts! It can really hurt those internal organs! I have this little war wound—a blister from wearing a garter the other day for 17 hours.

After the sanctions of the Panda and Penguin, the article spinners are failed to publish their content. Article spinning is the technique which I think is mostly used by the SEO experts. Did anyone of you still using article spinning?
i was doing before the panda nad penguin
I'm surprised you are willing to admit to this rather grubby practice. Do you really want to live in a world where people rob, cheat and deceive each other off for a profit? Really? I don't get it. :-/
I recommend you read this: SEO for decent people
Never go for Article Spinning, many times it change the meaning of the sentence and the content get messed up.
According to the Spinners, be careful that many of those articles would work against the PR for your site ...1
Many people think that this way would support the ranking and save time, for the Google for example if the robots will discover that then believe me the rank would go down !
Secondly this way won't improve your skills to be a very good writer and expertise in the future ...
this is my opinion
I hope that I helped You
For Your Success
Machines can do more and more tasks for us, but writing articles isn't one of them (yet, anyways.) I've used "The best spinner" for about 10 days once,and effectively spinning articles to the point where they still make sense isn't automatic... It was time consuming, and for me it got old fast.
Today Google is not only observe the uniqueness of the article, but google also observe the user's satisfaction when visiting websites that appear in Google search results.
Have you ever opened a site with bad content, article with full grammar error. I am sure you will be immediately close the site.Google will not show such a site in the search results.
avoid spinning, it is black hat stuff and will damage your credibility. Write unique content, write for your audience, think - would you want to read the article. When re-writing, find a different angle not just different words in spin syntax. I have been laughing at this technique for some time, so many blogs messed up with horrible text due to allowing spinning. Don't do it. Penguin 2.0 will annihilate your ranking power.
Just stay away from doing such spinners and spinning techniques. I wonder how could one be consecutive in dropping a question so, even after knowing the impressions of Panda and Penguin. In any event, it's better to keep hands off from such spam causing techniques.
say no to spinning! i know most people are doing article spinning because they want to submit these spun articles to article directories. but Google penguin 2.1 is killing these article directories now. they kill spun content before but there are still people who are doing it and submitting it to article directories. now they're killing article directories so there will be less spun content around the internet.
just write original content. you don't have to write 10 everyday anyway. just write short blog posts that are high quality and that will beat even a thousand spun content.
I think you`d better to try rewriting your articles manually to avoid the duplicate problem and to create multiple unique versions of the same article. You can then use these rewritten articles to submit to article directories, Web 2.0 sites, or simply add more content to your site.
Stop spinning the articles, as it is considered as one of the black hat technique, but still some of the seo experts following this technique.
i have never use spinning, it is not beneficial and after latest penguin update google ban spinning articles.
That means you are wasting your time to spinning some ones write up? why not you are going for fresh or your own copy right in same time. By the way that spinning techniques is no longer live after penguin & panda. other hand google never recommended such black hat techniques.
After the penguin 2.0 google had completely content friendly. Nowadays if anyone try to spinning the content goggle will throw out him. Only a fresh and unique content can help you to achieve good position.
I would argue that anyone spinning is most definately not an "expert"
still i am doing this article spinning for my own blog , but i will be very careful with this thing. i will compare the original of mine and spinned article couple of times, check with some tools whether it is unique or not, after that only will publish
SCAMMERS - those pretending to know about SEO but whose top results will only last long enough for them to get paid (if they are lucky and you are unlucky).
How could spun content ever be unique? If you have spun somebody else's article, then you have stolen their thoughts and ideas and changed some of the words to pretend it's new and original. Inevitably the spun article is more poorly written than the original. Changing the wording doesn't make the article unique - or even yours. Write your own original content, or pay somebody else to write it for you. Spinning is theft.
I did spinning before and I can say I am an expert at using The Best Spinner. But I am ashamed of myself for even practicing that kind of technique before. Yes, we can produce unique content through the advance spinning level, but it's only unique in terms of the words and sentences but the idea of the article is still the same. That's one thing that sucks the most. I will never, ever spin content again.
yes i know @technobear . i will do that in rare cases, that too only once. i am spinning my own content, not others. spinning other content is only a theft one :lol:.

The Produce Merchandising Association's Fresh Summit, Oct. 26-28, couldn't have been timed better for Ocean Mist Farms and its efforts to work with retailers on holiday planning.
Among the holiday items from the Castroville, Calif., vegetable grower-packer-shipper are celery, broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts.
"Brussels sprouts were an overwhelming hot commodity with retailers last year. Based on data, demand is still growing," Kori Tuggle, director of marketing and business development, said in the release.
As a result, Ocean Mist plans to launch brussels sprouts in 1-pound microwavable zipper lock bags and 2-pound cello club packs at Fresh Summit.
The microwavable bag, similar to one the company uses for artichokes, allows consumers to open it and add seasoning before cooking.
Tony Baker, a chef with Montrio Bistro, Monterey, Calif., will demonstrate different items he's created that feature brusssels sprouts at Ocean Mist's booth during the show.

As previously mentioned on this blog, the FAA's proposed Aviation Repair Station rule is very likely to have noticeable secondary effects on other companies, including PMA parts manufacturers. On November 5, MARPA and other members of the aviation community, as well as representatives from the FAA, met for a Small Business Administration roundtable to discuss the proposed rule.
The FAA, although not able to take comment at the meeting, offered a presentation on the purpose and intent of the rule and were available to attempt to answer any questions posed by attendees. The FAA explained that the purpose of the rule is to align FAA regulations with current industry practices and aircraft technology. The FAA also stated that they believe they have addressed the numerous comments that resulted in the rejection of similar proposed rules in 1999 and 2006.
Industry attendees expressed a number of concerns with the proposed rule. One concern is that due to the slow nature of the rule-making process, current industry practices have already moved beyond that which is contemplated by the proposed rule. There also appears a risk of creating confusion as the rule introduces inconsistent terms to the regulations.
The rule may also create significant adminstrative burdens. It would require that each of approximately five thousand repair stations renew their certificates with 24 months of the rule becoming effective. There is some doubt as to whether the FAA has the resources to process so many renewals in such a limited time frame, particularly faced with the reality that most applications would occur toward the end of the 24-month window.
The rule creates additional administrative burdens on the repair station side, as supervisory personnel will be required to be on hand to oversee work performed, changes to capabilities lists will have to be approved by the FAA or through self-evaluation, and substantial new employee training requirments are implemented.
Additionally, the new "Component Rating" propsed by the rule poses a particular threat to PMA manufacturers. Repair stations will be expected to maintain a component capabilities list in their operations specifications. Because of the burdens associated with amending and updating op specs, many repair stations may have difficulties in efficiently updating their components capabilities lists. This is especially troubling for PMA. Even though a PMA part is most likely maintained in the exact same way as its OEM corrollary part, a repair station may still be required to call out that specific PMA part number in its op specs in order to perform maintenance. Given the smaller population of PMA parts, many repair stations may not be willing to go through the op spec amendment process to add the PMA part to their capabilities list.
The cumulative effect of these additional burdens may have the result of decreasing the number of repair stations allowed to repair PMA parts even though they are technically proficient. Smaller repair stations may also find themselves priced out of business by the addtional financial costs associated with the new administraive burdens.
The FAA will accept public comments on the proposed rule through November 19, 2012. Comments should reference FAA Docket Number "FAA–2006–26408."
Today, the FAA issued a significant new proposed rule for repair stations. One of the elements that would be updated is the ratings system for repair stations.The proposed changes could have an unintended effect of limiting the ability of the repair station industry to repair PMA parts.
One significant difference is that FAA is proposing a new "Component" rating that would replace the Radio, Instrument, and Accessory ratings. The proposed "Component" rating would allow repair stations to work components that are not installed on an airframe, powerplant, or propeller (bench work). A repair station with a Component rating would be required to have an Airframe, Powerplant, or Propeller rating to install components or appliances. The FAA expects that such a product-level rating would be limited to only installation and removal. The preamble to the rule states that the FAA expects that Component-rated repair stations would have a list of their components in their operations specifications. In light of the difficulty now faced by some repair stations in amending their operations specifications, keeping the component list in the op specs would likely make it very difficult for a component repair station to add new components to their list of permissible components, which in turn would probably cause many smaller component shops to stagnate as new products come out but the operations specification amendment process limited their ability to add them as capabilities.
For PMA parts, this could raise an interesting difficulty. Even though most PMA parts are maintained in exactly the same way as the OEM corollary part, a repair station might not be permitted to maintain the PMA part if the part was not on its operations specifications. Because the population of PMA parts is smaller than the population ofOEM parts, it is reasonable to believe that some repair stations will not go through the op spec amendment process to add a PMA part number to their operations specifications.
This would have the unintended effect of decreasing the repair stations that are legally permitted to repair a PMA part, even though they are technically qualified.
The FAA will accept public comments on the proposed rule through August 20, 2012. Comments should reference FAA Docket Number "FAA–2006–26408."
