G'head. Rate my Jimmy Edmonds poem I wrote - in a matter of mere ..umm.. seconds? It was posted during a game thread five years ago, when the Reds were getting destroyed by the Cardinals.
Check it before you wreck it, fools!
"Ode to Jim Edmonds"
Thou art as splashy in cardinal red as the day is long.
From whence thou runneth from your centerfield position,
Gracefully, leaping majestically, diving fruitfully,
For the sagging line drive of glorious life.
Slashing thou baseball, like the lumberjack in the forest
Penetrates the majestic wood. With a mighty swing,
Thee Jim Edmonds, handsome as a California raisin,
In the glaring sun of glorious life, Jim Edmonds! Give joy to thee!
Traipsing through the outfield, his radiant plume to see,
Tra-la-lee, Tra-la-lee, Tra-la-lee!
To thee we honor thy grace, thou sweet Jimmy Edmonds,
For you give life to baseball, and your lustful dives gives life to thee.

Barbour's political action committee says he will meet with Gov. Brian Sandoval, Nevada legislators and other GOP leaders in Carson City.
Nevada's Feb. 18 caucus puts it behind only Iowa and New Hampshire in early contests to determine parties' 2012 presidential nominees.
Barbour has said he'll announce in April whether he'll enter the GOP presidential primary.
He spoke Saturday at the California Republican convention and last week in Chicago.
Barbour has also traveled in recent weeks to the early caucus or primary states of Iowa and South Carolina. He went to Israel in February on a trip sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition.

CRT Opens Summer Season with BOEING BOEING Tonight
Cortland Repertory Theatre kicks off their 43rd season at the Little York Pavilion in Preble with the theatre's premiere production of the hysterical farce Boeing Boeing, written by French playwright Marc Camoletti, and translated to English by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans. Performances will run from tonight, June 4th - 14th with evening performances at 7:30 PM. Matinees are available on June 6th, 8th and 11th at 2:00 PM. Tickets may be purchased by calling 800-427-6160 or at the CRT Box Office at 24 Port Watson Street in Cortland. Tickets are also available for sale 24 hours a day through the CRT website at www.cortlandrep.org. The GPS address for the Little York Pavilion is 6799 Little York Lake Road in Preble.
In this high-flying, Tony Award winning farce, swinging American bachelor Bernard couldn't be happier: he has a flat in Paris, a booming architectural career and three gorgeous airline stewardesses all engaged to him...without knowing about each other! But his perfect life gets bumpy when his naive college friend Robert comes to visit from Wisconsin and a new, faster Boeing jet throws off his carefully planned schedule of ladies. Unexpectedly, all three stewardesses are home simultaneously, Robert forgets which lovely lady is which, and the door slamming begins! This play was first produced in London in 1962 where it ran for seven years, and is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most produced French play. The 1965 film starred Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis and the 2008 Broadway production won the Tony Award for Best Play Revival.
Boeing Boeing is directed by Dustin Charles, who is in his ninth season with CRT, and returns after directing the 2013 season closer I'll Be Back Before Midnight last August. Charles is well known to the CRT audience as an actor, having appeared in Unnecessary Farce, The Hollow, and The Drawer Boy to name a few. He has also served as Assistant Director and Dialect Coach to a number of CRT productions, including The Ladies Man, A Murder is Announced and Brigadoon.
Playing Bernard is Trent Fucci, who appeared as "the unexpected guest" himself in Agatha Christie's The Unexpected Guest last summer. Also returning to CRT is Leah Gabriel, who plays German stewardess Gretchen. Gabriel is an Australian actress currently living in New York City, who also appeared in Guest last summer. The rest of the cast are making their CRT debuts, including Jeff Long as Robert. Wendy Bagger as French maid Berthe, Tayler Beth Anderson, a recent Syracuse University graduate, playing American stewardess Gloria and Danielle Shimshoni as Italian stewardess Gabrielle.
Stage Manager Laura Krouch, in her third year with CRT, leads a talented production team including Scenic Designer Cully Long, who designed The Unexpected Guest and I'll Be Back Before Midnight last summer. Costume Designer Jimmy Johansmeyer returns for his eleventh year at CRT, and Sound Designer Seth Asa Sengel is in his third CRT year. Lighting Designer Annmarie Dugan and Props Designer Lisa Guild return for their second year, and Assistant Stage Manager Monica Meyer makes her CRT debut. Technical Director Patrick McGovern also returns for his fifth year.
CRT will continue the tradition of "Friday Night Talk Backs" at which a Q & A session with the actors, designers and crew takes place after every Friday evening performance. Tickets are also on sale for all of CRT's summer season, which includes All Shook Up, Les Miserables, Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily, Making God Laugh and Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash and the children's show Alice in Wonderland. Visit www.cortlandrep.org for more information about any of the upcoming shows.

General Assembly/3C: Statement by Ambassador Wittig at the adoption of the resolution on the Human Right to Water and Sanitation
(as delivered:)
"Mr President,
I am delivering this statement on behalf of the two main sponsors of the draft resolution L34 entitled "the Human Right to safe drinking water and sanitation" Spain and my own country, Germany.
Let me first of all thank the 82 cosponsors for their support, and express my appreciation to all delegations for the constructive approach to the consultations, which were conducted over the past seven weeks. We know that it was not always easy for all delegations, including our own, and we thank everyone for their flexibility and their spirit of compromise.
The following cosponsors joined after the revised document was issued: Denmark, Fiji, Grenada, Iceland, Lebanon, Mexico, Singapore, Sao Tomé and Principe, Singapore, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uruguay, Zambia and the United States of America. Costa Rica has withdrawn its co-sponsorship.
We are glad that all Member States of the General Assembly are demonstrating their commitment with regards to the realization of the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation through this resolution. Central aspects of this commitment include the elimination of inequalities in access to water and sanitation by persons belonging to vulnerable and marginalized groups, the consultations with concerned communities, the continuous monitoring and regular analysis of the status of the realization of the human right as well as the provision of effective accountability mechanisms for all water and sanitation service providers.
Moreover, we are glad that all Member States agreed on the necessity to ensure an adequate place for the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation in the discussion and the design of the post-2015 development agenda. The resolution calls on all of us to bear in mind the principles of equality and non-discrimination as well as a focus on the rights of the most disadvantaged and marginalized while implementing this right. This agreement gives us hope that in the future, the access to safe water and sanitation will be improved for all women, men and children all over the world.
And now, with your permission, my colleague from Spain would like to continue with our joint statement."

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Your environment has a big impact upon your creative ability. If you work in a cubicle with perfectly white walls, boring furniture and elevator music, your creativity is probably going to be stifled.
Each person has his or her own particular environment that fosters performance. Some people do better in cold rooms, some in hot rooms. Some people like music, and others require silence. Some additional factors that affect performance are windows, lighting, color, decorations, food and drink, size of space, etc.
If you work in a group, try to be sensitive to the needs of your teammates. If you know that someone works best in silence, try to keep your music down (or use headphones). If some people work well on a sugar high, bring cookies and soda into your brainstorms. Simple changes around the office or classroom can have big effects on how people function in those spaces.

Michael Fassbender Has No 'Shame' – The Daily Swoon
There is only one thing that comes to mind when we think of Michael Fassbender: "Um, yes please." The Irish actor is mind-blowingly sexy, and definitely worthy of a swoon. Or five.
You may recognize Fassbender from films like 'X-Men: First Class' or this year's sci-fi hit 'Prometheus,' or, if you've got some brains going on, you most definitely saw him in the very sexy (and very sad) movie 'Shame,' in which he plays a sex addict and spends much of the film in various states of undress.
Yeah, now you're listening.
Here's what you need to know about Fassy: He's Irish. He's a fantastic actor. He looks incredible with or without clothes on. If you see 'Shame,' you could join the rest of us in calling him Fassboner. You'll know why. (If you don't, just ask Charlize Theron. She'll gladly tell you all about it.)
Oh, and if you're in or around the Austin, Texas area right now, Fassbender is currently shooting a film down there with Ryan Gosling (!!!).
We've collected the best of the best Michael Fassbender pics for your enjoyment, including a couple of him reclining in bed that should pretty much make your brain melt. You're welcome.

CYPRESS, Texas - Investigators are looking for a pair of criminals who they say exploded acid bombs on a woman's front door.
Police said the incident, which was all caught on home surveillance video, happened at a home in the 13500 block of Gainesway Drive in Cypress.
In the video, a young man is seen running up to the home. He started shaking what Harris County Fire Marshals said is an acid bomb.
"I was sound asleep and heard what sounded like a gunshot," said Becky Bentley, who's home was attacked.
As the culprit runs out of the picture, another person is seen in the video shaking up a second acid bomb before tossing it at the front door.
Both suspects then run away in the video. Seconds later, both bombs go off, sending smoke and fumes into the air.
Officials said the first attack happened in late December. Bentley said her home was targeted a second time on Friday, Jan. 3.
"I looked out on the porch and didn't see anything," said Bentley. "I walked over to another window and looked out and at that point, it blew up right in front of me."
Investigators said this time, however, the suspects managed to stay out of the camera's view.
Bentley said she can't think of any reason she would be targeted.
"Sometimes, people hear something and open their front door, and it blows up right in their face," said Bentley. "Yeah, it's a really dangerous thing to be doing."
If you have any information about this case, you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477). Officials said you may get a reward of up to $5,000.

Denied; Grant for Humboldt County's $20 million jail expansion
EUREKA- The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office has been denied an appeal that would secure millions for a jail expansion project. The plan would provide the county with more space and rehabilitation services for inmates.
The $17.5 million dollar grant would bring probation and mental health services to one central location that would be attached to the existing jail. The space would provide 40 extra bed spaces to be used for prison work crews and would help the county deal with the larger population of inmates after realignment.
The Board of State and Community Corrections listened to Humboldt County Sheriff Mike Downey's appeal to their decision in Sacramento on Tuesday. Downey said the county was not awarded the funds for the project based on a technicality.
"This is exactly what we wanted to do, is expand our existing facilities, and this grant would have done just that," he said.
The grant, made available to counties under State Senate Bill 1022, required the recipients of the grant to have ten percent of the funding met by the county. The Board of Supervisors approved the funding and set it aside, but the board disagreed said Downey. The jail was advised that the funds needed to be placed in an SB 1022 specific account.
The Department of Finance informed them, Downey said, but not give them enough time to respond to the request. "The match we felt was secured," he said.
Counties that were denied the grant were allowed to appeal to the board to get back funding. Three appealed, Monterey, Stanislaus and Humboldt. Stanislaus was able to reverse the decision.
Downey said he is confident the jail will receive the grant in the next grant cycle that is expected to open up in the summer. "I don't see why our project would not rise to the top again," he said.
If the funding was approved the project would have been completed in 2018. Downey said the project will be put on hold until funding can be secured.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/2/2013 (1659 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA -- Conservative senator Patrick Brazeau is a colourful character.
He tends to speak his mind and almost as often as not, he speaks with one foot jammed into his mouth.
But his past skirmishes, including having to temporarily close his Twitter account last year after he called a parliamentary reporter a bitch in a tweet, seem inconsequential compared to the latest one. Last week, at a fundraising event in Ottawa for a local provincial Tory politician, Brazeau was recorded discussing the Idle No More movement and the hunger strike/fast/liquid diet protest of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence.
"They don't stand for anything," he said of the Idle No More protesters. "I, as an Algonquin person, am living proof that no one will colonize me."
He was not happy Spence refused to meet with any government MPs, but allowed opposition MPs freely inside her compound.
It's all well and good for Brazeau to disagree with Spence. Just because he is aboriginal does not mean he has to believe in everything another aboriginal person does. Diversity does and should exist among First Nations.
Criticizing Spence for refusing to speak to government representatives is a totally legitimate call -- how can they expect change if they shun the people who ultimately hold the power to help?
But Brazeau did not stop his criticism at the motives of the movement or its methods. He turned it into a personal attack on Spence.
"I was sick two weeks ago. I had the flu and I lost five pounds. I look at Miss Spence, when she started her hunger strike, and now?" Someone from the audience answered the question for him: "She's fatter."
The audience laughed.
When a sitting senator of the government turns a serious conversation into a punch line, we have officially fallen below the level of decency and professionalism expected of our leaders.
Instead of just trolls on blogs and media websites calling Spence fat and suggesting she was a faker who obviously was sneaking in Snickers bars when the blurry-eyed national media weren't looking, now we have a senator doing it himself.
He wasn't the only one making comments at the event. Ottawa-area Conservative MP Royal Galipeau was also there, talking about how he visited Spence in her teepee on Victoria Island.
"I stood in the circle around Chief Spence. I noticed that manicure of hers. I tell you (my wife) can't afford it."
It's one of the most common accusations tossed off at chiefs and councillors in Canada -- that since so many of their people are living in poverty, they, too, should be unable to afford to buy a car, own a house or take a vacation somewhere warm in the winter. There are 3.2 million poor people in Canada, 634,000 of them children, according to Statistics Canada. It is as ridiculous to suggest Brazeau and Galipeau, or Prime Minister Stephen Harper, should forego most of their own six-figure salaries as long as there are poor people in Canada as it is to suggest Spence can't possibly be trusted as a chief of a desperate reserve since she has well-kept nails.
That this was all coming from one elected and one appointed parliamentarian makes it all the more alarming.
Brazeau hasn't apologized and refuses to do so. Galipeau admitted he shouldn't have made the comments because it is now drawing attention to himself, but he did not apologize for them or withdraw the remarks.
But more importantly, Harper -- the leader and boss of both of those individuals -- has said nary a word to dispel these comments.
His office ignored a media question Friday wondering what he thought of the comments.
Murray Clearsky, the grand chief of the Southern Chiefs Organization in Manitoba, wrote to Harper Friday asking for an acknowledgement that "two of your minions have crossed a line that requires immediate reparations for the good of the country."
The comments, said Clearsky, were "insulting" and Harper's silence "is a reflection of the condescending view you and your administration hold toward the original peoples of this land."
The comments made by Brazeau and Galipeau do nothing to help the growing divide between First Nations and the federal government. They do nothing but play into the stereotypes and racism that underlie much of the struggle First Nations have had in this country for the past 140 years.
They do nothing to move forward on any of the serious and immense issues facing First Nations and Canada.
And they encourage the racist thinking that has reared its ugly head in spades since Idle No More and Spence started gaining national attention.

Only One by Hardy's Scentuous Soy Candle Co.
If your one of those people who like getting new products first, or paying extra to have it all to yourself, Only One is for you. It's a brand new service that allows you to purchase candles and home decor products that are very limited. You can now give a gift that is unique instead of that same stale gift year after year. If your already a fan of Hardy's Scentuous Soy, you already know how great the candles smell, and how everything is custom order. Only One takes custom a step furthur with luxury products that will be sold to only one or a few people. I love custom anything from fashion to cars. It not only shows that someone spent a lot of time on something, but also that they are not afraid to be different and set trends instead of following them. You can keep up with new products on twitter at #OnlyOne or at the companies Facebook page.

CANNINGTON Parish Council have donated a cheque for £1,200 to a church to help fund youth projects in the area.
The grant was made to Cannington United Reformed Church for its youth club, which runs on a Tuesday evening for school years six to eight and on a Wednesday evening for school years nine plus.
Chairman of Cannington Parish Council, Colin Allen, presented the cheque to Rachel Leach, the youth work team leader at the Parish Council's monthly meeting.
He said: "The church plans to put a programme together that will allow young people to explore new opportunities both within the village and beyond.
"The youth club has previously been funded solely by the church."
Cannington Parish Council also supports a youth provision in Cannington Village Hall on Monday evenings from 6.45pm to 8.45pm, which is operated by Somerset Rural Youth Group.

Dr. Doug Weiss has helped save thousands from sex addictions in the last 20 years. Today, he is passionate about empowering churches in strengthening and restoring marriages.
Dr. Doug Weiss is all about healing. He has devoted his life to healing the sexually broken. Through his work as a counselor and clinical psychologist as well as his many books, public speaking and numerous media appearances, Dr. Weiss has been able to help rescue thousands from sex addictions and other problems. He claims an 85 percent success rate.
Yet in healing sex addiction, he's really healing marriages. And in healing marriages, he's putting lives back together and affecting the very fabric of our society at a time when it seems everything is trying to tear it apart.
So it was natural that I invite Dr. Weiss to be guest editor of this issue of Ministry Today. This year we have dealt with some of the important issues facing the church—such as integrity, prayer, giving, evangelism, church growth and leadership itself. None is more important than marriage. For the leader, unless you have this area of your life together, you are ineffective in all other areas.
In fact, if the church doesn't show leadership, who will? But if the epidemic of broken marriages in the church doesn't stop, how can we speak to the cultural issues surrounding marriage?
In this day of gay activism in which people are trying to redefine marriage to include gay and lesbian couples, Dr. Weiss is challenging our very concept of what Christian marriage is. I heard his teaching "The miracle of marriage" a year ago for the first time. He says the concept of "one man, one woman" is incomplete. Marriage was really God's last creation on earth. And He created marriage as a trinity—between Himself, and the husband and wife. This is a revolutionary concept we must begin to take hold of. To me, it's the most important message of the issue.
Dr. Weiss also tells some of his own story—coming out of sexual brokenness, to where he has been sexually sober more than 24 years. He's best known for his counseling of sex addicts. His Heart to Heart Counseling Center is somewhere you can call on for people in your church or even if you are struggling yourself.
Dr. Weiss has seen up close the shipwreck that can happen when a leader doesn't get help. He was a member of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., when pastor Ted Haggard was exposed by a male prostitute for being involved with drugs and inappropriate behavior. The pity is Haggard could have gotten help had he reached out to deal with things from his past that he had pushed down. But they came bubbling to the surface, resulting in a national scandal and untold heartache.
After the scandal broke, Dr. Weiss instituted something for his clients in his clinic. He requires all his counselors—and himself—to take a polygraph test once a year to prove they have not looked at porn, masturbated or had sex outside of marriage. It just keeps everyone honest.
We need that sort of accountability in the church and in our own lives. Read the articles in this issue and learn. And if you need help, get it yourself.
On a personal basis, I have gotten to know Dr. Weiss well during the past 10 years as we are both in a small accountability group with Christian leaders of large organizations. We meet three times a year. It's "iron sharpening iron," and Dr. Weiss has become one of the most liked and respected members of our small group with his wisdom, insights and creative thinking. Over those years, I've gotten to know his wife, Lisa; daughter, Hadassah, 17; and son, Jubal, 15. They are a model family. I have seen that Dr. Weiss practices what he preaches in terms of how he lives his life, raises his kids and treats his wife.
This issue is full of good material by nationally respected leaders such as Gary Smalley, Dr. Tim Clinton, pastor Jimmy Evans, and Larry and Jonathan Stockstill—who were Ministry Today guest editors last year on the issue of "integrity." So there is plenty here to minister to you in your own brokenness, and to help heal those whom God has entrusted into your care as a leader.
So read it, share it with others and use the concepts. There's even material here that will help you in sermon preparation.
But most of all, reach out and get help if your marriage is struggling or if you are dealing with shameful issues that will bring you down sooner or later if you don't get help.
Steve Strang has published six books by Dr. Doug Weiss: 30-Day Marriage Makeover; Get A Grip: Take Control of the Things That Are Controlling You; The 7 Love Agreements; Intimacy: A 100 Day Guide to Lasting Relationships; Sex, God And Men; and The Final Freedom.

Great Buy
My groomsmen and I purchased these shoes for my recent wedding. They looked great (very shiny), felt very comfortable, and matched our black suits well. We found similar shoes in department stores for around $100. Overstock's deal really can't be beat. Even ordering and shipping were a breeze. The shoes were delivered in thier original shoe box (each shoe individually bagged) and the box was wrapped in plain brown paper. I was more than happy with what I received. They even came with a shoe horn. With the proper care, I'm looking forward to these shoes lasting a while. Thanks, Overstock.com.Read More

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 18, 2016
Some 200 ex-officers, including 50 to 60 former generals, are on the loose and jobless after failing to unseat.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 3, 2014
The Egyptian Brotherhood has nurtured ties with Islamist terrorist groups ranging from Sunni al Qaeda to Shiite Hizballah and its Iranian master. They date from the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi up to the present day.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 3, 2014
Ambassador Chris Stevens and his CIA team wee assigned an undercover mission to take control of Muammar Qaddafi's weapons arsenal, keep them out of terrorist hands and use them to promote US interests. This story was never told.
DEBKAfile Special Report May 19, 2013
Shortly after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu pledged Sunday, May 19, to maintain Israeli operations in Syria against advanced Iranian weapons for the Lebanese Hizballah, Syrian troops and their Hizballah comrades captured Al-Qasayr, gaining command of the high road to Lebanon's Hermel Mountains.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 4, 2013
Syrian ruler Bashar Assad has ordered the resumption of weapons transfers to the Lebanese Hizballah, debkafile reports exclusively. He gave this assurance to Iran's National Security Director Saeed Jalilee when they met Sunday, Feb. 3, four days after Israel's reported air strike on the Jamraya military complex near Damascus. Israel is anticipating tricks for smuggling the hardware across to Hizballah by sending round-the-clock air force patrols over the Lebanese-Syrian border for monitoring traffic and exercising control.
DEBKAfile Special Report July 8, 2012
"There is still a chance to save the Syrian state from a catastrophic assault that would be very dangerous not only to Syria, but to the region," said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Tokyo, Sunday, July 8. "… the opposition is getting more effective… and going on the offensive against the Syrian military." debkafile: In desperation, the Assad regime may open up its WMD arsenals against the rebel advance and spread the flames to other parts of the region, including Israel. Hence her references to catastrophe and the region.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 26, 2011
Helped by highly sophisticated contraband weapons smuggled out of Libya, Iran and Hizballah are getting the Palestinian Hamas equipped for another round of hostilities with Israel. debkafile's military sources report that Sunday, Sept. 25, Egyptian security forces homed in near Ismailia on a large half-empty cache of advanced Libyan SA-24 anti-air infrared missiles (a version of the US Stinger). They grant Hamas high-, medium- and low-altitude capabilities. Many of the empty crates had also contained sea mines.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 18, 2011
Qaddafi has spent $1.2 billion in a shopping binge for new weapons, some acquired through barter. Libyan rebels only sold arms, mainly chemical weapons to Hizballah and Hamas through Iranian middlemen.

SMWC students host leadership summit
November 1st, 2012 | SMWC
Conflict resolution, group dynamics and networking tactics are just a few of the topics covered at the annual student leadership summit at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College on November 17, 2012. Sponsored by the student senate, the summit aims to engage students around one common purpose: "Leaders Bound Together: Building Relationships That Nurture Leadership." At this day-long summit, proven leadership concepts will help participants expand their view of leadership and gain valuable leadership skills.
According to Stephanie Runyon, student senate president, leadership is at the core of the mission of the student senate. "This leadership summit will provide an opportunity for all students to explore and develop their leadership potential," explained Runyon, a senior from Noblesville, Ind. "We already have strong leaders on campus, but some students do not realize that they have leadership qualities. They will learn to identify and hone them. Students who already exhibit strong leadership qualities will learn to enhance their skills."
Elizabeth Jeffries, author, executive coach, professional speaker and 1984 graduate of SMWC, will deliver the keynote address. Jeffries has addressed more than one million people in more than 4,000 presentations to nearly 500 different organizations and has coached numerous executives and managers one-on-one. She challenges people to live and lead from the inside out, and her cornerstone topics are servant leadership, team alignment and relationship strategies.
Jeffries is the author of two books, including "The Heart of Leadership: How to Inspire, Encourage and Motivate People to Follow You"; and a best-selling CD, "From the Inside Out," an inspirational poem with original music. Jeffries is contributing author to "Insights on Leadership."
Additionally, a diverse group of SMWC alumni will round out the day with sessions and panels designed to strengthen leadership skills and teach methods for improving as a student leader.
These executives include:
- Molly Ellsworth '92, Parish Business Manager, St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church and President of the SMWC National Alumni Board
- Michelle Itczak, an Adjunct Faculty Member of the SMWC Master of Art in Art Therapy Program and Herron School of Art and Design
- Susan Gresham '79, Director of the Career Development Center, SMWC
- Judy Hund '87, Clinical Operations Manager, Oncology Business Unit, Eli Lilly
- Amanda Moore '12G, SMWC Master of Leadership Development Graduate
- April Simma '02, Director of Planned Gifts, SMWC
"We anticipate that this year's leadership summit to be the foundation of more leadership initiatives in the future," Runyon added.
The summit is scheduled from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. in the SMWC Rooney Library. It is open to SMWC faculty, staff and all students – campus, online and graduate.

In statistics, autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models, sometimes called Box-Jenkins models after George Box and G. M. Jenkins, are typically applied to time series data.
Given a time series of data Xt, the ARMA model is a tool for understanding and, perhaps, predicting future values in this series. The model consists of two parts, an autoregressive (AR) part and a moving average (MA) part. The model is usually then referred to as the ARMA(p,q) model where p is the order of the autoregressive part and q is the order of the moving average part (as defined below).
Autoregressive model Edit
The notation AR(p) refers to the autoregressive model of order p. The AR(p) model is written
where are the parameters of the model, is a constant and is an error term (see below). The constant term is omitted by many authors for simplicity.
An autoregressive model is essentially an infinite impulse response filter with some additional interpretation placed on it.
Some constraints are necessary on the values of the parameters of this model in order that the model remains stationary. For example, processes in the AR(1) model with |φ1| > 1 are not stationary.
Example: An AR(1)-processEdit
An AR(1)-process is given by
where is a white noise process with zero mean and variance . (Note: The subscript on has been dropped.) The process is covariance-stationary if . If then exhibits a unit root and can also be considered as a random walk, which is not covariance-stationary. Otherwise, the calculation of the expectation of is straightforward. Assuming covariance-stationarity we get
where is the mean. For c = 0, then the mean = 0 and the variance is found to be:
The autocovariance is given by
It can be seen that the autocovariance function decays with a decay time of [to see this, write where is independent of . Then note that and match this to the exponential decay law ] The spectral density function is the inverse Fourier transform of the autocovariance function. In discrete terms this will be the discrete-time inverse Fourier transform:
This expression contains aliasing due to the discrete nature of the , which is manifested as the cosine term in the denominator. If we assume that the sampling time () is much smaller than the decay time (), then we can use a continuum approximation to :
which yields a Lorentzian profile for the spectral density:
where is the angular frequency associated with the decay time .
An alternative expression for can be derived by first substituting for in the defining equation. Continuing this process N times yields
For N approaching infinity, will approach zero and:
It is seen that is white noise convolved with the kernel plus the constant mean. By the central limit theorem, the will be normally distributed as will any sample of which is much longer than the decay time of the autocorrelation function.
Calculation of the AR parameters Edit
The AR(p) model is given by the equation
It is based on parameters where i = 1, ..., p. Those parameters may be calculated using Yule-Walker equations:
where m = 0, ... , p, yielding p + 1 equations. is the autocorrelation function of X, is the standard deviation of the input noise process, and δm is the Kronecker delta function.
Because the last part of the equation is non-zero only if m = 0, the equation is usually solved by representing it as a matrix for m > 0, thus getting equation
solving all . For m = 0 have
which allows us to solve .
Derivation Edit
The equation defining the AR process is
Multiplying both sides by Xt-m and taking expected value yields
Now, by definition of the autocorrelation function. The values of the noise function are independent of each other, and Xt − m is independent of εt where m is greater than zero. For m ≠ 0, . For m = 0,
Now we have
which yields the Yule-Walker equations:
Moving average model Edit
The notation MA(q) refers to the moving average model of order q:
where the θ1, ..., θq are the parameters of the model and the εt, εt-1,... are again, the error terms. The moving average model is essentially a finite impulse response filter with some additional interpretation placed on it.
Autoregressive moving average model Edit
The notation ARMA(p, q) refers to the model with p autoregressive terms and q moving average terms. This model contains the AR(p) and MA(q) models,
Note about the error terms Edit
The error terms εt are generally assumed to be independent identically-distributed random variables sampled from a normal distribution with zero mean: εt ~ N(0,σ2) where σ2 is the variance. These assumptions may be weakened but doing so will change the properties of the model. In particular, a change to the i.i.d. assumption would make a rather fundamental difference.
Specification in terms of lag operator Edit
In some texts the models will be specified in terms of the lag operator L. In these terms then the AR(p) model is given by
where φ represents polynomial
The MA(q) model is given by
where θ represents the polynomial
Finally, the combined ARMA(p, q) model is given by
or more concisely,
Fitting models Edit
ARMA models in general can, after choosing p and q, be fitted by least squares regression to find the values of the parameters which minimize the error term. It is generally considered good practice to find the smallest values of p and q which provide an acceptable fit to the data. For a pure AR model then the Yule-Walker equations may be used to provide a fit.
Generalizations Edit
The dependence of Xt on past values and the error terms εt is assumed to be linear unless specified otherwise. If the dependence is nonlinear, the model is specifically called a nonlinear moving average (NMA), nonlinear autoregressive (NAR), or nonlinear autoregressive moving average (NARMA) model.
Autoregressive moving average models can be generalized in other ways. See also autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. If multiple time series are to be fitted then a vectored ARIMA (or VARIMA) model may be fitted. If the time-series in question exhibits long memory then fractional ARIMA (FARIMA, sometimes called ARFIMA) modelling is appropriate. If the data is thought to contain seasonal effects, it may be modeled by a SARIMA (seasonal ARIMA) model.
Another generalization is the multiscale autoregressive (MAR) model. A MAR model is indexed by the nodes of a tree, whereas a standard (discrete time) autoregressive model is indexed by integers. See multiscale autoregressive model for a list of references.

Colonel Hogan
Bob Crane starred as Col. Hogan on the hit sitcom Hogan's Heroes. The show takes place at a prisoner of war (POW) camp for Allied airmen in World War II Nazi Germany. There are several prisoners there and Col. Hogan is often the highest ranking officer in the camp and thus the leader among the prisoners.
Throughout the series, Col. Hogan shows that he is a mastermind at thinking up operations for the prisoners there to do. He also shows his incredible problem solving skills, coming up with solutions to overcome enormous problems. Even though they are prisoners of war, they are still able to sneak out and perform acts of sabotage against the Germans by means of tunnels and a manipulation of the camp's commander, Col. Klink. The acts of sabotage are brought to the forefront in certain episodes and Col. Hogan is questioned about whether or not he knows anything about these matters, which he always denies.
Col. Hogan is also shown as one to "get the girl" in the show and is shown from time to time passionately kissing. Other prisoners will jump at the chance to work with a female operative in any mission they may undertake whereas Col. Hogan is more calm when it comes to this. He also has an ongoing romance with the secretary of the camp's commander, her name being Helga when the series started, but was changed to Hilda when the original actress (Cynthia Lynn) was replaced by another actress, Sigrid Valdis. Col. Klink's secretary helps the prisoners from time to time by providing access to information and documents.
Sigrid Valdis and Bob Crane were actually married in 1970.

I have a drop down list that is populated by a query against a database (run from a function since this list is used in multiple locations in the website. I'm curious if there is a way to choose an option as the default out of that list after the fact?
Basically my function returns a variable that is a list similar to below that I wrap in <option></option> brackets.
<option value="None">None</option><option value="206">ABC</option><option value="95">DEF</option><option value="212">GHI</option><option value="188">JKL</option><option value="197">MNO</option>
When the page loads it has another query that returns a value that corresponds to one of the option values from the above list. I would like THAT option to then be selected option so the end user can see what the original value was, but can choose a different one if they are editing this record.
Is there a way to dynamically add the selected value to the results returned in the variable? Or should I just run an additional query against the database the would retrieve the ABC, DEF, GHI, etc as appropriate based on the value returned from the main query?
I realize I kind of went a bit around and around in describing this, hopefully you get the general idea and you have some suggestions on the best way to address this.
If the function returns the complete options list as a string that you only have to display, then the solution could be to change the function: add a parameter (the value to be selected) and in the loop in the function add the mechanism that checks if the current value is the to be selected value, and act accordingly.
If the function returns an array with values, and the creation of the actual <option> tags is done outside the function, then do the checking against the to be selected value in that part of the code.
Create a function which is passed the array of values and the setting which should be preselected:
// spoofing your array collected from your db
$arr = array(212=>"GHI", 95=> "DEF");
// the one to preselect to
$chosen = 95 ;
function createSelectList($name, $arr, $chosen_one) {
$html = "<select name='$name'>" . PHP_EOL ;
foreach($arr as $key=>$val){
$selected = ($key === $chosen_one) ? "selected='selected'" : "" ;
$html .= "<option value='$key' $selected>$val</option>" . PHP_EOL ;
return $html . "</select>" .PHP_EOL ;
echo createSelectList("mylist", $arr, 95);
//<select name='mylist'>
//<option value='212' >GHI</option>
//<option value='95' selected='selected'>DEF</option>
You can take this a lot further and build in the sql statement as well, if you were inclined - though some might say this function is then taking on too much responsibility -- but you can make it quite a useful tool.
See? That's why I visit the forums. Just as I was feeling good about myself for finally utilizing functions in my app I get reminded that you can make functions do MUCH more of your bidding if you just think about it for a minute and actually utilize their basic features.
Thanks Guys!!! Going to rewrite the function.
Just rereading over your code suggestion and I realized you used an array to store the returned database values. I currently have my function iterating through the results and building the <option></option> lines for my select statement. Would it be better to iterate that into an array and then use that array? Maybe even keep the array as a live (session?) variable that can be use at different times versus making another query to the DB?
I do a process like this in a few places throughout the app, some of them are fairly unlikely to be modified by another user that would require a live update. Would it be better to keep these database results as arrays stored in variables rather than making queries at different times? I had considered running these queries and rather than creating a variable storing the results in a flat file that would just be "included" where necessary throughout the app?
I realize this question has kind of veered off my original one, but this is where my train of thought has taken me. (-:

Religion is pure wisdom, it is profundity. It is to analyse everything meticulously and to think sincerely. It is the sum of the most beautiful of everything. We cannot see this in bigotry; instead we see darkness, dirt, cruelty, lovelessness and we do not want those.
Our society is not prepared against Darwinist materialist struggle. It has not yet been responded with a scientific approach. It was not responded before September the 12th either; in order for the government to respond the Darwinist materialist philosophy must be eliminated intellectually. Undefeated philosophies continuously progress. And those people are constantly getting spoiled. This cannot be done with vulgar display of power as they would respond a high hand with a higher hand. They would respond insults with insults. The whole world would support a scientific effort. The reason why Denmark, Sweden and Norway support PKK is because they find them philosophically correct. I have started an intellectual struggle against Darwinism in Europe because I consider ideological defeat of Europeimportant. I started this battle from Francebecause it was the bastion of Darwinism. There is no defense against philosophy there and the land is available for it. Anti Marxist struggle should be started as soon as possible. Force can be used any time. When tuberculosis is inside, externally applying cream over the skin would not help.
Pharaoh's army pursued the ProphetMoses (as) and his students. The Prophet Moses (as) came by the seashore, the companions of Moses said "we will surely be overtaken!" The Prophet Moses (as) said " Never! My Lord is with me." Just after he said this, he let his staff touch the sea and a gust formed within a short time. This gust gained strength instantly and huge waves formed. And they turned into even bigger waves on the way back. This is wonder upon wonder, because right at that moment, just when they were cornered, the water stopped just in front of them. They walked across the water with no hassle. After they crossed the sea, the Pharaoh's army hesitated at first; then they entered the water as well and advanced quite a bit. Then right when they reached the center water turned back in huge waves and the sea closed. This is a second wonder. The sea could have been closed just after they passed, it could have been closed right after the army of the Pharaoh entered the water or after they passed across, but none of these happened. The fact that it did close just when they came to the middle of the sea is a second miracle. Normally they could swim but tsunami waves are very destructive. The strength of the tsunami waves is nothing like the strength of normal water; they have a disastrously destructive effect. The Pharaoh said; I believe in the Lord of Moses and Aaron. Then Allah says "what, now?" This proves that faith gained at the last minute is not acceptable. We can see from here that the Prophet Jesus (as) does not come for dying people to make them gain faith at the last minute; but rather he will come personally for the whole world. There Allah says "We will preserve your body". Pharaoh did not believe in soul anyway, and Allah preserved his body. His soul went to Hell. Not only his, but the bodies of his entire family have been preserved. This is also a miracle. They could have destroyed their mummies. They could have been damaged, but they have all been preserved to be a Sign for people.
• (About the article on boycott preparations against Compulsory religion lessons) They see that Turkey is passing through a difficult period. They see the actions of the PKK and of the others. They see the activities going on in the schools and in the Southeast; and they also see how those put the government through hardship. In such an environment, would a person act soothing or would they act like them? Why shouldn't my Alawite brother learn about religion? He should learn Christianity, Judaism, Islam and he should also learn what the Twelvers, Sunni, Shia and Wahabi sects are.. He should learn what communism is and what fascism is. One should not fear general culture and knowledge. General culture is an essentially important matter while raising a high quality person. Lack of culture is a severe problem. They should have short information about what is Evangelic, what is Catholic, what is Orthodox, what is Armenian, and also their history. Based on their degrees at their schools, young people must certainly be encouraged to study for general culture. Cultivated people who enjoy talking should be raised. General culture is a very enjoyable topic. It is a topic that the soul enjoys tastefully. Moreover PKK's ideology should also be taught at schools. What type of a philosophical system are they based on? Why have they followed Marxist and Leninist ways? And other terrorist organizations such as ETA and others should also be taught. Would such a cultivated person fall in a trap? The alleged Ergenekon Organization was also effective on ignorant people.
• America gives these weapons but they will be Hazrat Mahdi (as)'s weapons. They are giving these weapons for Muslims to use against each other but Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come out and tell them not to use them. He will not let anyone use these weapons against each other. But he will keep them for a while, then will completely remove them. He will have them decreased in a balance and then have them completely removed. First they will be kept but will not be used, nevertheless they will be kept as a deterrent force.
When PKK sees the giant Muslim NATO, they will say "we are like fleas. These are lions, let's slowly slide away."
Those who are unbelievers are the friends and protectors of one another. If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption. (Surat al Anfal, 73)
The alleged Ergenekon Organisation, PKK, the hypocrites and unbelievers are each other's helpers. Muslims, believers, people who love Allah, people who love the Prophet (saas), the Alawites, Bekhtashis, Sunnis, no matter which sect they are, all sincere people will be in unity says Almighty Allah. We see once more that the Islamic Unity is the biggest religious duty. It is the command of Allah.
Allah loves those who fight in His Way in rankslike well-built walls. (Surat As-Saff, 4)
Stand shoulder to shoulder. The Alawites, Sunnis, Kurdish, Laz, Circassian; they will always be altogether. You all are the sons of the Prophet Adam (as). You will have all have the truth, beauty and Rightfulness prevail throughout the world.
those who respond to their Lord and establish salat,and manage their affairs by mutual consultation and give of what We have provided for them; those who, when they are wronged, defend themselves. (Surat Ash-Shura, 38-39)
What is the of our mothers and sisters in the Southeast Anatolia because of the PKK? To respond to it altogether is the command of Allah on us. We see once more that the Unity of Islam is a religious obligation.
In a Muslim there is mercy mixed with love.

TROTWOOD, Ohio (AP) -- Firefighters say a blaze destroyed a southwest Ohio apartment building and displaced residents but caused no major injuries.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/19x4dBt ) reports a state fire marshal's investigator was expected Friday at the scene in the Dayton suburb of Trotwood. Authorities were still trying to determine was started the fire Thursday night.
More than four dozen firefighters from several departments responded to the blaze but were unable to control the flames. They resorted to protecting other nearby apartment buildings from catching fire.
One person was treated for smoke inhalation at the Woodland Hills apartment complex. The American Red Cross was helping to find housing for dozens more displaced from the 24-unit building.

Woodglen Lake Rehabilitation Plan for Flood Protection Signed
July 18, 2008
News Highlights
- Woodglen Lake has helped relieve downstream flood damages for 30 years.
- Lake will not be drained during construction.
- Complete details of the plan.
More Information
Fairfax County, the Virginia Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District signed a dam rehabilitation plan recently for Woodglen Lake in Fairfax. This watershed project, built in 1981, and five dams, built between 1970 and 1985, are part of the Pohick Creek Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Project. For nearly 30 years, Woodglen Lake has helped relieve downstream flood damages and will continue to provide optimal flood control, as well as improved water quality, wildlife habitat and recreational and aesthetic benefits.
The lake will not be drained during construction and the top of the dam will not be raised. The walking paths that are affected will be relocated. Some trees will be removed to accommodate the new spillway alignment. The estimated total cost of the project is $2,519,000. The NRCS will pay 65 percent of the cost, with the remaining cost being paid by Fairfax County. The NRCS will request federal funding for this project during fiscal year 2009.
This federally assisted project was built by the Virginia Natural Resources Conservation Service in cooperation with the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District and Fairfax County. FairfaxCountyhas operated and maintained the dam and has been recognized for its efforts nationwide.
Complete rehabilitation plan details are available on the Virginia NRCS Web site.

Myrmecina Americana
Photograph by Gary Albert
In this project, Israel Del Toro, a doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was funded by a National Geographic Young Explorers Grant to document the diversity patterns of ants in the forests of the Northeastern United States.
Pictured: Myrmecina americana nests are found in or under rotten logs, under small rocks, and in soil and leaf litter. The study projects that with an increase of three degrees Celsius in mean annual temperature, these Myrmecina americana of the Harvard and Yates Forests will become extinct.

Even in relatively low-diversity systems like the temperate forests of the Northeastern United States (from Virginia to Maine), over 200 different species of ants can be found, while in the tropics ants can obtain a similar diversity in a single square mile! The lower diversity and complexity of ant community structure in temperate forest ecosystems allows myrmecologists (scientists who study ants) to better understand the biodiversity, community dynamics, and biogeography of these key inhabitants of terrestrial ecosystems.
Navigating to Field Site
Photograph by Israel del Toro
Del Toro spent several months during the summer of 2010 collecting ants at over 70 locations, including sites in the George Washington/Jefferson, Green Mountain, and White Mountain national forests. This project was completed in collaboration with Harvard Forest LTER and Duke Forest, where experiments are being conducted that will evaluate how ants respond at a local scale to the atmospheric warming predicted by climate change models.

For the study, each nest received a standardized number of workers—based on the average found in the field for that species—along with a queen, pictured here. Colonies were checked every ten days for the development of brood, the production of alates, and dead ants.
Aphaenogaster Rudis
Photograph by Gary Albert
Aphaenogaster rudis, one of the most common ants in the eastern United States, can be found in thickets, grassy habitats, pine barrens, and second-growth forests, where they are often the dominant ant found on the forest floor. Ants eat plants and other animals, modify soil properties and nutrient fluxes, and disperse seeds (Lobry de Bruyn 1990, Folgarait 1998). Thus, changes in ant populations and communities due to climate change could lead to cascades of changes in other trophic levels and in ecosystem processes in virtually all terrestrial ecosystems.

00:11:00 Bob Ballard
Boyd heads out of the studio to join National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Bob Ballard aboard his vessel the E/V Nautilus. Currently in Turkey, Ballard tells Boyd about the many shipwrecks he is finding in the Mediterranean. You can follow Ballard and his team, live as they explore the ocean at www.nautiluslive.org.
00:06:00 Valerie Clark
National Geographic grantee Valerie Clark licks frogs for a living. As Clark tells Boyd, she's not looking for Prince Charming. Instead, she is studying how the diet of frogs in Madagascar relates to the toxicity of their skin.
00:11:00 Lee Berger Audio
National Geographic grantee and paleoanthropologist Lee Berger has been searching for the fossils of human ancestors, but it was his 9-year-old son who stumbled upon the find of a lifetime: a partial skeleton that may very well change our understanding of the genus Homo.
00:07:59 Brad Norman
Some go swimming with dolphins or stingrays, Brad Norman, National Geographic Emerging Explorer and marine conservationist, talks about swimming with the largest fish in the world: the whale shark. Norman speaks with Boyd about his research concerning whale shark habitats, tracking and conservation.
00:11:00 Losang Rabgey
National Geographic Emerging Explorer Losang Rabgey has found her life's work in strengthening rural communities on the Tibetan plateau, which includes building schools to educate local students. Rabgey joins Boyd with updates on the successful work of Machik, the non-profit she founded and now directs.
00:11:00 Dereck and Beverly Joubert
National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Dereck and Beverly Joubert capture astounding images of African wildlife in their beautiful films. The Jouberts live in the African bush alongside the lions and other animals they profile. They explain to Boyd that, because big cats are in such danger, their work is now focused on conservation projects such as the Cause an Uproar program.
00:11:00 Nathan Wolfe
National Geographic Emerging Explorer and virus hunter Nathan Wolfe says there is a disease pandemic lurking just around the corner. But, we can prepare ourselves. Wolfe says there are even ways to harness and use the power of viruses. Wolfe joins Boyd to talk about his new book, The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age, which is changing the way we think about viruses.
00:09:00 Joshua Ponte Audio
National Geographic Emerging Explorer Joshua Ponte was a successful young English entrepreneur when, over breakfast one morning, his eye fell on a newspaper ad that said "Gorilla Reintroduction Program, Gabon." His life has never been the same since. Pursuing his passion for conservation, Ponte moved to a central African forest where 13 orphaned gorillas were being studied. Boyd talks with Ponte about the joys and dangers of raising young gorillas.
00:11:00 Wade Davis
How did the death and destruction of World War One lead young British climbers to attempt an epic conquest of Mount Everest? National Geographic Explorer in Residence Wade Davis answers that question in his new book "Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest." Davis joins Boyd in the studio to chat about the book.
00:11:00 Sylvia Earle
National Geographic Explorer in Residence Sylvia Earle has been deeper undersea than any other woman. Earle is an oceanographer, explorer, author, lecturer, field scientist, and an inspiration to women around the world. She recently received the Royal Geographic Society's 2011 Patron's Medal. Boyd talks to Earle about some of her early dives in the Jim Suit.

00:08:00 Bruce Bachand
Many people picture archaeology as the swashbuckling adventure portrayed in the Indiana Jones trilogy. But in reality, it can be much more tedious than discovering the Holy Grail and fighting Nazis. National Geographic grantee Bruce Bachand has been meticulously sewing a 3,000 bead necklace back together in Mexico after discovering a pre-Olmec burial site that housed a tribal chief and his wife, undisturbed for several centuries.
00:09:00 Catherine Jaffee
Turkey is famed for its honey, which is music to Boyd's ears—he has a notorious sweet tooth. He visited National Geographic grantee Cat Jaffee, a beekeeper who left her job in Washington, D.C. to make honey in rural Turkey. She says that bees harvest pollen from their surroundings: the best honey comes from bees with natural surroundings, large meadows, rather than urban environments. Most people, Jaffee says, eat honey that is basically a synthetic mix of sugars from all over the world.
00:09:00 Elizabeth Lindsey
Most of human history existed before the advent of GPS technologies that can pinpoint where we are at any time. National Geographic Fellow and ethnonavigation expert, Elizabeth Lindsey has taken it upon herself to understand what it was like for Polynesian explorers to colonize tiny, remote islands across the south Pacific Ocean. To better appreciate the skills it takes to study the clouds and winds in search of land, Lindsey plans to join a team of Polynesian women who are island-hopping using traditional methods: no GPS, no cellphones and no compass.

Find a REAL butcher and ask them. The meat industry needs to standardize the names of cuts. It's getting better, but has a long way to go.
My butcher of choice, welcomes the standardization of the names of cuts. If a cut has a regional name thats fine but also include a standard universal name for that cut on the label.
OK. I'm thru venting.

Acerca del creador
Gabriel McIntosh makes photos and media art. By emphasising aesthetics, McIntosh seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life. His works directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By taking daily life as subject matter while commenting on the everyday aesthetic of middle class values, he often creates work using creative game tactics, but these are never permissive. Play is a serious matter: during the game, different rules apply than in everyday life and even everyday objects undergo transubstantiation.

Some days back, I spotted a tweet by Tom Johnson announcing his new post – Podcast on the Seven Deadly Sins of Blogging. I know that I have been a sinner, not having updated my blog for over a month.
Nowadays, I spend a good part of my day keeping an eye on my Twitter home. My primary intent is to play the information facilitator for RoboHelp, the Adobe product I document. Twitter gives me the means to shout out updates, new tools, hidden features, and events.
I follow the power users of RoboHelp on Twitter and easily get information when they post new content on the web. My job then is to map that content to core Help topics and add the links so that other users can benefit from this supplementary content.
Step 1: Spot the announcement of a useful post.
Step 2: Identify the relevant topic in Help and add a link to the post.
Step 3: Tweet about the Help update.
Twitter gets me thinking – in different directions. Every now and then, I get derailed and something non-RoboHelp catches my attention. I spot 'cloud computing' and become curious to find out about what the world is thinking about documentation for SaaS applications.
Johnson's posts reassured me that these occasional detours are a necessary part of the social networking experience that we are seeking as corporate tweeters and bloggers. They broaden our interests, update us on the trends, and prepare us to create relevant and interesting posts (being irrelevant and being boring are two of the seven sins Johnson talks about).
You can check out Johnson's blog for the other five sins. Meanwhile, what are the seven deadly sins of tweeting?

Hey all
So i have a Win 7 Ultimate x64 machine. I have installed VMware and download BT5 vmware image.
Upon unpacking the .zip file and booting up the image everything works fine. I can use all programs no problems. I can even power it down and suspend it. All fine.
But the moment i turn it back on(after rebooting or being switched off) i get the normal startup menu asking to enter username/password and a command to run(after). But when i enter "startx" for GUI bootup i get brought to a blackscreen. Fist time it happened i shut it down and rebooted. Still same thing. Rebooted my whole comp and still sma ething. But if i delete the image and unpackage it again. Boots up like a charm. The issue is after you shut down the VMware image and upon turning it back on you'll hit this issue.
