Here is the description given by the artist:
Feminism is having a wardrobe malfunction.
Does your brand of feminism remove barriers for women, or simply move them around? Does is expand options for women, or does it just shift them? You don't liberate women by forcing them to choose option B instead of option A. What is comfortable for you might not be comfortable for someone else, and it's entirely possible that what you see as oppressive, other women find comfortable or even downright liberating.
Before you think the girl in the middle is a strawman, let me tell you I used to be her, back in my misguided youth. I considered myself the standard to which other people should adhere. But that was stupid. It's not up to me to tell people how to dress, and it's much nicer to let everyone choose for themselves.
Some women would feel naked without a veil. Some women would find it restrictive. Some women would feel restricted by a bra. Some women would feel naked without one. Some women would feel restricted by a tight corset. Others love them. Some wear lots of clothes with a corset. Some only wear the corset and nothing else. What makes any article of clothing oppressive is someone forcing you to wear it. And it's just as oppressive to force someone not to wear something that they want to wear.

The rapid growth of offshore wind farms, particularly off the northern European coastlines bordering the United Kingdom, Denmark and Germany, is fuelling the need for more helicopters to help transport turbine engineers and other support staff out to where the energy is being generated.
The distance from the shoreline is steadily increasing too as bigger wind farms are located further offshore. While the offshore oil and gas sector is mature, and lessons are being learned and applied relating to the establishment of this similar – yet different – energy sector, the speed of development is causing experienced helicopter professionals to sound notes of caution. Peter Lloyd, global head of Environmental Protection, Health and Security with Siemens Energy Renewables, one of the companies designing and supplying wind turbines, said: "We are taking industry into dangerous territory – and it can bite us."
He was addressing a small gathering of specialists dedicated to the provision and management of helicopters to service the growing offshore wind farm market at the Helicopters & Offshore Wind conference, organized by Haymarket Conferences, in central London during May. Lloyd, an ex-chief of staff with the UK Royal Air Force Search and Rescue (SAR) Force, is well aware of the dangers of conducting helicopter operations in potentially hazardous environments. But both aviation and maritime operations that are conducted to support offshore wind farms face their own particular difficulties. Lloyd is firmly of the view that aviation is complimentary to marine support for offshore wind farms, each being relevant depending on the task and as weather conditions dictate.
With the range to wind farms beginning to increase from the current 10-40 nautical miles out to 100 nm and beyond, Lloyd believes that the aerial support side of the wind industry is becoming more professional as more people join it who have aviation, particularly helicopter, experience. As the number of wind farms increase, so will the number of helicopters and those operating them.
The cost of a single wind turbine not generating its normal amount of power is approximately £15,000 (approximately $23,500) per day according to Graham Robb, helicopter superintendent with DONG Energy Wind Power. In areas such as the North Sea, where the weather conditions can remain bad for long periods, especially during the winter months, this can rapidly lead to a significant loss of revenue in a short period of time.
Figures provided by Robb indicated that during the period October through March 2011-2012, offshore wind turbines in some areas of the North Sea were not accessible 49 percent of the time. Although access during the summer improved, this meant that overall the turbines could not be accessed by sea for one third of the year. In December 2011, one of the Horns Reef wind farms was only accessible by sea for two days. The potential for helicopters to increase accessibility has not been overlooked.
The general consensus in the offshore wind energy sector industry is that support to the wind farm fields is best conducted by a mix of maritime vessel transfer and helicopter hoist operations. Robb said that the deciding factor on which mode of transport to use was dependent on wave height verses weather limitations. While maritime transfer of engineers and equipment is cheaper, the physical act of landing personnel on wind towers is restricted by the choppiness of the sea decided by wave height. There is also the factor of crews getting seasick due to rough seas during transit times in boats. With helicopter flying times substantially less than a boat trip, there is less chance of airsickness occurring and winching operations can be carried out in fairly windy conditions.
The current maritime transfer restriction is usually reached when wave swells reach around 5 feet (1.5 meters), although this may rise to 6.5 feet (2 meters) when new technological improvements to boat stability are introduced, and there are several companies currently looking at new designs.
Trying to forecast the need for helicopters, Robb explained that at DONG Energy all future substations serving offshore wind farms will have helicopter landing platforms. Further, he said that the potential of basing helicopters offshore was something that was currently being examined. This would mean that they could be housed in hangars and be able to refuel in order to maximize their stay offshore. Crews would also have accommodation.
Helicopters naturally also have their limitations. Conditions that hinder their operations include when visibility falls below 3 km, the cloud base is less than 600 feet, or the wind rises above 60 knots. Bernd Brucherseifer, managing director of HTM (Helicopter Travel Munich) said his company picked up its first wind farm contract for the Alpha Venus offshore wind farm in 2009. A string of successful contract wins have followed, resulting in an increase in the number of helicopters HTM operates in support of offshore wind farms to 16 (14 of which are Eurocopter variants). With one of the contracts, to the Global Tech 1 field, the distance to shore is 72 miles. "For that mission we are probably out all day including trips back to land to refuel," he said.
Brucherseifer explained that operators must consider multiple factors when deciding on a helicopter for offshore wind farm operations: One Engine Inoperative (OEI) performance; rotor diameter (very important as explained later); downwash, limitations of type; inspection levels and a good time between overhauls performance (which can be between 25-100 hours).
The rotor diameter is an important factor in helicopter type selection. Robb said that there was no "level playing field" in the heli-hoist operation concerning the type of helicopter and type of turbine, as the rotor radius of some helicopters could come too close to the line of the turbine blade relative to where the heli-hoist maintenance platform was situated.

The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery has installed a loaned painting of the first four female Supreme Court justices.
The large-scale portrait of Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan was installed Monday. The museum will display "The Four Justices" for three years.
Artist Nelson Shanks painted the 9-foot-6-inch-tall portrait depicting the first four women to serve on the nation's highest court.
Museum Director Kim Sajet said the scale of the painting speaks to the "grand accomplishments made by these four women" and the example they have set for future generations.
Art collectors Ian and Annette Cumming commissioned Shanks to paint the piece. It was completed in 2012.
Shanks's work is also represented in the museum's collection in a portrait of President Bill Clinton.

Lately black rice has been making huge headlines on the food scene. What IS black rice? Where has it been all these years????
Well, scientists have just discovered that black rice is a treasure trove of nutrition. Hailed for thousands of years in China as a food for the royals, its benefits lay hidden to us common folk till now. A spoonful of black rice bran contains more health promoting antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries, plus the bran within the rice has less sugar, more fiber and an abundance of vitamin E.
As healthy as brown rice is, however, researchers think black rice may be even healthier. They analyzed samples of black rice bran from rice grown in the southern United States and found it possesses higher level of anthocyanins antioxidants than brown rice bran.
So, of course when my gourmet kosher foodie friend Debbie Gindi told me about this unbelievable recipe that her whole gourmet foodie family wiped out in 10 minutes, then I knew that my Jewish Hostess readers would love it. Here goes!
Healthy Colorful Forbidden Black Rice Salad
- 2 c black rice(NOT WILD RICE)

- 1 TBSP ume plum vinegar
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Place in greased tray. Toss with 1 tsp olive oil. Roast in oven for appx 25 minutes.
- Put "forbidden" black rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat reduce cover and cook 30 minutes.

Adam, good work. GA and the Nantahalas are no joke. Hope the sleep comes. I guess it will one way or another as a deeper exhaustion sets in. Stay healthy, stay strong!ReplyDelete
One day at a time. Enjoy it. A zero day won't hurt.ReplyDelete
Adam, sounds like you are doing very well! Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Adam -- you seemed strong and healthy as I ran along behind you during your first 3 days on the trail. Your carefulness about your speed (especially downhill) should pay off for you. See you in another week and a half!ReplyDelete
Georgia is the toughest section of the southern third. You will start rolling very soon. So nice to be able to follow your adventure.ReplyDelete
Adam and Kadra, It was so good to sit here and listen to your three videos. Our prayers (and yours) are being answered as you are remaining safe and healthy. What an adventure these first three days (now 4 days) have been. Love the Hootie Hoo! Hootie Hoo back to you two!ReplyDelete
I don't know how you do it. I am so proud of you. I have two blisters on one foot just WALKING ONE MILE A DAY in my prayer walks for the two of you. I did walk 2 miles Saturday (because I had a lot of thoughts to take care of with God :) and 1.25 mile this morning. Remember it is my quiet time to think and feel for the two of you.

NASHVILLE – When Lancaster native Kassie Jordan hits the stage with her band, she knows immediately who the movers and shakers along Music Row are.
Hailed by one critic as "one of the hardest working girls in music around Nashville and a force to be reckoned with," the 2000 Buford High School graduate just released her first CD, "Timing," on Feb. 19.
"You can always tell. They're the ones who always stand along the back wall with their arms crossed," Jordan said of record company executives and producers. "Most of them have already seen and heard it all, so you have to work hard to wow 'em. When they get into it and start moving and clapping, you're going to be alright."
If you think Jordan's life is a rags-to-riches, overnight-success story, think again. She's not there yet, but she is toeing the line.
Yes, there were winning appearances on "Star Search" in the early 1990s at the age of 12, and singing the National Anthem at high school sports events, college basketball and Charlotte Hornets games. There was also singing at the Myrtle Beach Opry, churches and festivals across the country, as well as multiple singing contests.
But, as the daughter of educators Dr. Jim and Kay Jordan, she knows the importance of a college degree. That came first.
After one year at University of South Carolina Lancaster, Jordan left Buford Crossroads for Nashville's Belmont University to study music production and studio engineering.
"I did want to have a plan," she said. "With Daddy being a principal and Mama a teacher, it was just understood. You can take music classes at Belmont and I had already done so much as far as music goes."
The one advantage of Belmont is its location.
The university is within walking distance to Nashville's Music Row, which came in handy. Jordan came to Nashville car-less.
"I thought it would be cool to know what goes on the other side of the recording studio glass," she said. "The bad thing is that it's so intense that it doesn't leave much time for music. It was tough, but I'm glad I did it. I may not have been ready for the next step."
Paying her dues
After earning a degree from Belmont, Jordan got a 9-to-5-job and started saving money. Nashville, she said, is all about the Benjamins.
"Trust me, you learn that pretty quick," Jordan said.
About four years ago, Jordan said it was obvious that a 40-hour work week didn't agree with the music industry. She formed her own band in 2008 and started playing nightclubs, where she's carved out a local following for live stage performances that include a mixture of country, rock and the occasional rap song. She also has a regular date at Whiskey River in Macon, Ga., and has appeared at the Sturgis Motorcycle in South Dakota.
"I've been to Montana and all over the place," she said. "To be honest, nobody outside a few friends knew who I was. I started from scratch. It's nice to be noticed and I'm just glad that people were noticing me."
In mid-2009, Jordan started working with record producer Mike Fiorentino of the Southpoint Music Group on her first CD, "Timing," which was debuted at Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar in Nashville.
Jordan said the songs on "Timing" are a direct reflection of who she is.
"This is me and I'm not of ashamed of it," she said. "There has literally been blood, sweat and tears shed over this thing. This is for me, and if people don't like it, then they don't like me.
"I don't need to act like someone else," Jordan said, noting that Gretchen Wilson remained true to who she was before breaking through with "Redneck Woman" in 2003-04.
"If I won't make it because of who I am, then I guess I just won't make it," she said.
Musicians such as Jon Coleman of Trace Adkins' band, singer/songwriter/guitarist Stuart Mathis of The Wallflowers and Kyle Cook of Matchbox Twenty lent their talents to "Timing."
"Some of them did it for nothing," she said. "That's a big confidence booster. In the music industry, it's tough to find people who are real."
"Timing" and Jordan's stage shows are creating a buzz. The CD sold out at Sunday's debut. Copies of it will be available on iTunes and Amazon beginning in March. A duet with Troy Brooks, "How Much I Love You," is available on numusic247.com, a website that features some of Nashville's best and brightest unsigned artists.
Jordan is also one of 15 up-and-coming artists featured at the 2012 Country Music Seminar.
"It will be about a year before anything happens, but it gets the ball rolling," she said.
Coming home
Jordan will return to Lancaster on April 20 to perform at Famdamily's Restaurant & Tavern, 1227 Great Falls Highway. Right now she is unsure if it will be with her five-member band, or an acoustic set.
"When it's just you and a couple of guitars, you can't fake it," she said. "That's about as real as it gets.
"Oh, yeah, before I forget... go Buford!" she said, laughing.
Kassie Jordan may not be there yet, but she's getting close. She's toeing the line.

Ingram had 33 points in season opener Thursday.
All eyes were on Brandon Ingram as Kinston�s basketball season opened Thursday, and the junior forward delivered.
He finished with a game-high 33 points, adding eight rebounds and a pair of blocks as Kinston won its opener, 79-58, over the visiting Jacksonville Cardinals at Vikings Gym Thursday.
Although three Vikings finished in double figures, Ingram looks to boost his numbers on the glass as the season progresses.
�I�m pushing for higher standards,� Ingram said of his eight boards. �I�m taller than everyone on the court, so that�s kind of a low for me. There�s always room for improvement.�
Ingram said he has to get used to playing for the majority of ball games.
�He�s played more minutes than probably anyone tonight,� Kinston coach Perry Tyndall said. �But it�s going to be different for him. He�s going to get everybody�s best, but he�s going to be fine. Just as good as he can be on the offensive end, he can be as good on the defensive end, too.�
Jacksonville (0-1) sustained a small lead early, but as the first quarter neared a close, Ingram hit a mid-range jump shot to put the Vikings up, 18-17.
Among the many appealing plays he made with the ball was slamming in a putback dunk that rocked the crowd in the first quarter. He didn�t have much scoring trouble from the low post and often made his plays look effortless, including a jam to open the second quarter.
A fourth-quarter Jacksonville turnover with the Cards hovering around their own basket would give Ingram room to break ahead for his last dunk of the night.
The entire Kinston team showed why the Vikings are stacked from top to bottom,even with some two-sport athletes still playing football.
Starting guard Andrew Lopez had 16 points, three rebounds and a team-high four assists Thursday, as Darnell Dunn had 15 points, six rebounds and game-high four steals for the Vikings.
Kinston (1-0) led 32-29 at halftime, as Mykel Hart quickly helped Kinston move ahead 10 by scoring inside off a feed from Lopez and on a steal-and-drive play.
Jacksonville had answers for the Vikings throughout the third quarter.
On his first shot of the second half, Jacksonville�s leading scorer Chris Smith drained a 3-pointer. He hit all five of his attempts from beyond the arch and finished with 25 points and four rebounds.
�I�m totally pleased with the effort,� first-year Jacksonville coach Doug Erny said. �I think we found out a little bit of who can do what since that was our first time being out on the court.�
Billy Bodette was big for Cards with 21 points and seven rebounds.
Tyndall is looking for his team to step up more defensively.
�I�m happy with the win,� he said. �I�m happy with a lot of things we did tonight, but (I�m) not very happy with some things that we know we�ve got to correct. � We spend a lot of time repping things, and we�ve got to get out there and run our stuff.�
He said because each Viking is capable of stepping up when needed, they can be OK for �a while� without the players who are still involved in football.
Coming off the bench as part of the last string, Chipel Libson scored four energetic points to further close out the game.
The Vikings won�t play again until Nov. 30, when they travel to UNC-Asheville to play Mt. Tabor. Kinston will return back to Viking Gym the following Tuesday to play South Central.

Tea Party leader Judson Phillips proves, once again, what a buffoon he is and Matt Steinglass calls him out on it. Phillips actually wrote an article on his Tea Party website arguing for more military spending because it creates jobs. But apparently only military spending creates jobs. Phillips writes:
If we decided to build a couple of new carriers, thousands of workers would be hired for the shipyards. Thousands of employees would be hired for the steel mills that would provide the steel for the hull and various sub contractors would hire thousands. Do you know what that means?
It means they would receive paychecks and go out and spend that money. That would help a recovery. That is a shovel ready project!
Increasing spending for the military does a couple of things. It not only not only stimulates the economy, it protects our nation. That is a better investment than say spending money on teaching Chinese prostitutes how to drink responsibly.
And Steinglass responds:
But what's amazing here, obviously, is that Mr Phillips is justifying building aircraft carriers because government spending creates jobs and stimulates the economy. And he's right about that! But it seems that there are no other things the government spends money on, apart from defence, that Mr Phillips believes can stimulate the economy. He appears to believe that while government spending on aircraft carriers leads to workers getting hired, spending their paychecks, and helping the recovery, government spending on highways, high-speed rail, education, and health care does not. Meanwhile, Mr Phillips also believes, as he argued in a Washington Post op-ed last week, that the government shouldn't borrow any more money, because that's leading us to economic ruin, like Greece. And he believes that the government shouldn't raise taxes, because that kills jobs. So where is the money supposed to come from? We're left with one possibility: Mr Phillips believes that we should build more aircraft carriers to stimulate the economy, and fund it by cutting other government spending programmes. But obviously when you cut other government spending programmes, the people who were working for those programmes lose their jobs, stop receiving paychecks, and stop spending money, which harms the recovery. And then there's the question of how many $2.6m prostitute-safe-drinking programmes you can find to cut. You need 3,500 of them to fund your $9 billion aircraft carrier.
The tea-party movement has spent the past year arguing that stimulus doesn't work and cannot, by nature, create more jobs or economic activity. The idea that a major tea-party figure can turn around and make a bog-standard argument for defence spending on Keynesian grounds testifies to a startling capacity for cognitive dissonance. I'm impressed.
Oh, why not just say it: Phillips is a clueless dolt.

Do you feel like you are losing control in your business?
You're struggling to manage your leadership team (which sometimes even includes managing your husband/life partner) and find yourself juggling too many things leaving you feeling drained, overwhelmed and unsupported.
You don't know why but your communication and delegation strategies just don't seem to be working and for some reason you just can't seem to get your 'leadership; team' to step up and do the work that's needed so your business (and home life) can run smoothly, giving you the peace of mind to step away, start enjoying your life and spend time doing the things you love with the people you love.
Well you've come to the right place.
Working with Isha will allow you to gain the skills you need to become a mindful, empowered leader and communicator so you can create a loyal connected team that know what they need to do to support you and your business so you, your team, your business and your family can thrive.
'Before working with Isha I felt very overwhelmed and imprisoned by my business. Delegation was not a strength for me. I was aware that I needed to improve my communication and leadership skills but din't know how. Instead of only focusing on my business issues, Isha focused on supporting me to grow which has helped me to become a mindful communicator and empowered leader. This in turn has improved my business issues. I have loved learning how to build a business that works for me, which means I no longer feel guilty about prioritising time for myself as I understand how important this is. I have enjoyed the opportunity for self-reflection that my sessions with Isha have given me as they have helped me to open-up my thinking so I can grow. Our sessions have helped me gain self-belief and confidence in my ability as a leader and I now feel that my business ambitions are possible and achievable.' - Susan Ang, CEO Eyestore Bankstown, Warilla and Kiama

The pilfering of e-mail correspondence among climate scientists from a major climate center in Britain two weeks ago has grown into a very public controversy unimaginatively dubbed "Climategate." Some of the e-mails revealed those scientists scoffing at (but also fearful of) climate skeptics — to the point of wanting to block publication of some scientific papers that might feed that skepticism. Unsurprisingly, climate skeptics have seized upon this as evidence that the threat of climate change is overstated.
Let's put things in perspective. First, science has a strong tradition of objective transparency. Research is subjected to independent peer-review before publication, and methods and results must be reported in a way that allows others to replicate and verify the work. Ideally, the data are also shared so that science can build upon science.
But that doesn't mean that scientists — the people behind the science — are emotionless eggheads without personal passion and commitment to their work. The e-mails revealed that scientists can be derisive — even vindictive — toward their critics. The portrayal the correspondence paints is not a very flattering one.
But this certainly isn't the first time that science has gotten competitive, scientists have gotten personal, and intense disagreement has spilled into the news.
For instance, marine ecologist Boris Worm published a paper in 2006 that predicted the world's commercial fish stocks would all collapse by 2048. Ray Hilborn, a fisheries biologist (yes, there's a difference between that and being a marine ecologist), called the forecasts "mind-boggling stupid" and accused Worm of putting social cause before scientific rigor.
This "fish war" made for sensational science news. But it wasn't halfway the most interesting story that came out of the controversy. Instead of entrenching into diametrically opposed camps, Worm and Hilborn joined forces to re-examine the data and reconcile their different perspectives. The result was better science about both the risks of overfishing and the ability of fisheries to be sustainably managed.
So, back to the current brouhaha over hacked e-mails in which climate skeptics are slinging a fresh quiver of arrows at defensive climate scientists. It is easy to imagine these already entrenched camps digging their ideological trenches even deeper.
But maybe, just maybe, some brave individuals will take a lesson from Worm and Hilborn and stop making it about "us" and "them." Do science as science should be done. Put the data on table. Examine it from different perspectives. Seek new insight that can help society make critical decisions about climate change. Pursue higher standards of scientific objectivity and transparency.
Climate change is such a monumental issue. Near-term cost of action must be weighed against long-term risk of inaction, both of which will have profound economic, social and ecological implications. People will inevitably take sides — even scientists. Only time will tell who was "right" and who was "wrong." Everyone should agree, though, that they want to take positions based not on emotion, but on the best possible science.

When Rosemount's longtime City Hall receptionist retired recently after 20 years of answering phones and greeting residents, officials moved swiftly to save money by filling her shoes with a telephone answering system.
Weeks into the switch, few are complaining. "I certainly don't see any sign that the community is objecting to the change so far," said Rosemount City Manager Dwight Johnson.
Driven by budget considerations, the retirement of longtime receptionists, new phone technology and city websites loaded with information, front desk duties are changing at Minnesota city halls.
Smaller cities are increasingly finding the receptionist a luxury they can no longer afford. South St. Paul has not had a receptionist since volunteers stopped performing the duty years ago. Robbinsdale and Richfield eliminated their receptionist positions and now assign other workers to fill the role.
"We want to make sure that we take care of our customers, but traffic through the front desk is very low," said Rosemount Mayor Bill Droste.
Some people enjoyed walking down to City Hall, speaking to a pleasant receptionist and paying the utility bill, but now it's difficult to justify that cost, Droste said.
With more people getting information from the Internet, calls to the switchboard have dwindled as well, Droste said. "We have a new phone system and can route and track calls easily now, and we are in the process of redoing our home page. If you have a good website, people should be able to find almost anything they need."
Bigger suburbs such as Eden Prairie, Edina, Bloomington, Minnetonka and Plymouth still have enough phone calls and walk-in traffic to keep people busy answering phones and greeting visitors. But the receptionists also perform any number of other duties.
Robbinsdale's last receptionist who ran the switchboard retired in 2003, said City Manager Marcia Glick. "By then we all had direct-dial numbers, and not every call was going through the switchboard," she said.
Splitting duties
After the retirement, the city dropped the receptionist position and moved two clerks -- one from recreation and one from finance -- to the City Hall information counter.
Even with the split duties, "if you call City Hall, someone is going to pick it up 95 or 96 percent of the time," Glick said.
Similarly, Richfield dropped its receptionist position and has a deputy registrar clerk acting as City Hall greeter. The new municipal building was designed with that in mind, said City Manager Steve Devich. "When people come into City Hall, I still feel it's important that someone be there, a face that they can walk up to and ask where something is."
Back in the day, hundreds and hundreds of calls went through the city switchboard every day, Devich said. "This day and age, there are less and less phone calls because of e-mail, and everybody has a direct number and voice mail."
South St. Paul has operated without a receptionist for as long as anyone can remember with no problem, said City Manager Steve King. One of three people in the finance division picks up the phone.
"The technology has changed and the standard has become self help," King said. "People who are below a certain age, they don't need the personal interaction. They just search for the information they need online."
West St. Paul, also a small city, is an exception. Mayor John Zanmiller said as long as he is mayor there will be a receptionist: "Residents deserve to speak to a human being."
Other cities agree that having a receptionist is still well worth the cost.
"We have one and we plan on continuing to have one," said Eden Prairie City Manager Rick Getschow. "The savings in efficiencies that one person can provide as a receptionist or at the front desk of city hall actually more than covers the position."
'A welcoming face'
The city requires the receptionist to issue dog licenses, serve as a notary and receive all deliveries. In many cases, the front desk person answers questions without referring residents to other staff, Getschow said.
"If you are coming in for any reason into City Hall, to have that welcoming face as a first impression of the city is important," Getschow said.
Minnetonka feels so strongly about its receptionists that it often has two on duty at the same time.
"Our focus is customer service," said City Clerk David Maeda. "In many interactions with the residents, they are the face of the city. Sometimes they are the only people that the resident deals with."
Trisha Sauer, in her 13th year as a Minnetonka receptionist, said no two days are alike. She starts the day by checking the meeting calendar to see who is expected to come in that day. She also updates herself on various projects because she fields a lot of questions on those.
"People are so grateful to get a live person to talk to," Sauer said. "I can't tell you how many times I answer the phone and there is a small pause and they say 'Oh my gosh, you're a live person.'"

FRITZ!Box 7330 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Using Xbox One in the FRITZ!Box home network
You can simply use a network cable or wireless LAN (WiFi) to connect your Xbox One to your FRITZ!Box. The Xbox can then access the internet and be used to play online games or for chats with Skype.
Important:Here we show you how to connect an Xbox One to the FRITZ!Box using the Microsoft Xbox One with operating system version 6.210210.0 as an example.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Preparations
Enabling the FRITZ!Box's DHCP server
In the factory settings, the FRITZ!Box automatically assigns the correct IP settings to all devices via DHCP. If you disabled the FRITZ!Box's DHCP server, reenable it:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Click the "IPv4 Addresses" button. If the button is not displayed, enable the Advanced View first.
- Enable the DHCP server and define the range from which the FRITZ!Box assigns IP addresses.
Note:The FRITZ!Box has the IP address 192.168.178.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and assigns IP addresses from xxx.20 to xxx.200 in the factory settings.
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
Configuring the Xbox to automatically obtain IP settings
- Push the menu button on the Xbox One wireless controller.
- Select "Settings" and then "Network" in the Xbox menu.
- Select "Advanced Settings".
- Select "IP Settings".
- Select "Automatic".
2 Connecting the Xbox to the FRITZ!Box
Use a network cable or wireless LAN to connect the Xbox to the FRITZ!Box:
Connecting the Xbox using a network cable
- Use a network cable to connect the Xbox to a LAN port on the FRITZ!Box.
Connecting the Xbox over wireless LAN
- Push the menu button on the Xbox One wireless controller.
- Select "Settings" and then "Network" in the Xbox menu.
- Select "Setup wireless network".
- Select the name of the FRITZ!Box's wireless network (SSID).
Note:This guide contains information on determining the FRITZ!Box's wireless settings.
- Enter the FRITZ!Box's network key and confirm the entry.
Now the Xbox is connected to the internet via the FRITZ!Box. The Xbox can then be used to play online games or for chats with Skype, for example.
Refer to Microsoft for further information on how to set it up, for example consult the Xbox support.
3 Configuring the FRITZ!Box for online games
By default, the FRITZ!Box's firewall protects all of the devices in the home network from incoming connections and unwanted data from the internet. However, this may cause problems with certain online games (for example FIFA 17) because other players from the internet must be able to access it.
If the Xbox displays the NAT type "Open" under "Settings > All Settings > Network > Network settings", then the FRITZ!Box and Xbox are already correctly configured.
If the Xbox displays the NAT type "Strict" or "Moderate", then some of the services or data required by the Xbox are being blocked; this is usually because port sharing was not configured. In this case, adjust the FRITZ!Box settings:
Important:To be completely accessible from the internet, the FRITZ!Box requires a public IPv4 address.
Setting up automatic port sharing
Set up the FRITZ!Box for automatic port sharing so that the Xbox itself can open all of the ports in the FRITZ!Box that it requires:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Enable the option "Transmit status information over UPnP". If the option is not displayed, enable the Advanced View first.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
- Click "Internet" and then "Permit Access".
- Click on the "Port Sharing" or "Port Forwarding" tab.
- Enable the option "Allow changes to security settings over UPnP".
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Disabling the Teredo filter in the FRITZ!Box
- Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Filters" in the "Internet" menu.
- Click on the "Lists" tab.
- Disable the option "Teredo filter enabled". If the option is not displayed, enable the Advanced View first.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Setting up static port sharing
If you still cannot connect to online games or the connection drops, configure the required port sharings manually:
- Configure static port sharing in the FRITZ!Box for the ports and IP protocols used by Xbox Live.
- TCP ports: 53, 80, 3074
- UDP ports: 53, 88, 500, 3074, 3544, 4500
- If the online game uses other ports in addition to the ones required for Xbox Live, configure port sharing for those ports in the FRITZ!Box. For example, FIFA 17, the football simulation game, requires the following port sharings:
- TCP ports: 53, 80, 3074, 3659
- UDP ports: 53, 88, 500, 3074, 3544, 3659, 4500
Note:With just a few clicks in the internet you can find lists of ports used by other games such as Battlefield, Call of Duty, Starcraft & Co., for example at www.portforward.com.
Now the FRITZ!Box is completely configured for incoming and outgoing internet connections. If you still experience problems when playing individual online games or the Xbox still displays "moderate" as the NAT type, then the FRITZ!Box may not have obtained a public IPv4 address from your internet service provider.

VATICAN CITY — The cardinals, emerging from a quick conclave, after having elected Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires less than 24 hours after the first ballot, were surprised that the waiting world was so surprised, including well-informed journalists who did not predict that outcome.
But the cardinals knew one thing that the world outside did not know, namely that the new Pope's age, 76, was not considered a disqualifying factor.
Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope, who chose to be called Francis in honor of the founder of the Franciscans, fit the profile that emerged from the cardinals' meetings the week before the conclave.
He was a successful diocesan bishop not enmeshed in the controversies recently surrounding the Roman Curia. To the extent that governance was a weak point of Benedict XVI's papacy, Cardinal Bergoglio had the reputation for being decisive, even in the face of opposition and persecution from within the Church and without. His pastoral style was engaging. And his vision understood that the Church's future required evangelization, not management of a declining status quo.
That he was from Latin America was a boost, for two reasons. The first is positive, namely that, soon, a majority of the world's Catholics will live in Latin America. The second is negative, in that there was a great reluctance among many cardinals to choose an Italian, precisely because Italian turf wars and factions had been identified as the source of the Roman Curia's dysfunction.
So everything was pointing toward Cardinal Bergoglio, save for his age. Once the cardinals evidently decided that age was not a disqualifying factor, the case for him was convincing, and he was elected in only five ballots.
Indeed, the case for Cardinal Bergoglio had been known for years. He was a different kind of Latin-American bishop. A reserved man of theological sophistication, he was not timid about challenging the privileged in the name of the poor and the oppressed. He famously laid aside the material comforts of his office, leaving the archbishop's mansion empty to live in a simple apartment, cooking his own meals and taking the bus to his meetings.
Such was the widespread esteem he enjoyed that, in 2005, he was the leading alternative to Joseph Ratzinger. Indeed, he was a leading candidate to succeed John Paul for some time — it being thought that Cardinal Ratzinger, at age 78, was too old to be elected. Nothing changed in the intervening eight years, save that he grew eight years older, leading many observers to conclude that, at 76, he was too old to be elected.
Cardinal Bergoglio was not elected last time because an older man was thought acceptable; he was elected this time for the same reason.
The cardinals in 2005 were looking for a holy man who could bring necessary governance reform, and they were not concerned about his age. They chose Joseph Ratzinger at age 78. Exactly the same thing applied in 2013, and they chose Jorge Bergoglio at 76.
Why were the cardinals not as concerned about his age as previously thought? Recall that Cardinal Bergoglio himself told La Nacion before the conclave, "I have no possibility of becoming pope; this time, my age works against me."
It may be that the Church has simply become accustomed to having an older pope. If Pope Francis serves until 2020, the Church will have had a pope over 75 years of age for 25 consecutive years. The College of Cardinals itself is rather old, with only 15% of the cardinal electors under 65. That may have been on Pope Francis' mind when he greeted the entire college, including the over-80 non-electors, and spoke to them off-the-cuff about being elderly.
"Courage, dear brothers!" Francis told them. "Probably half of us are in our old age. Old age, they say, is the seat of wisdom. The old ones have the wisdom that they have earned from walking through life, like old Simeon and Anna at the Temple, whose wisdom allowed them to recognize Jesus. Let us give wisdom to the youth: Like good wine that improves with age, let us give the youth the wisdom of our lives."
Clear, simple, heartfelt and full of deep humanity. In his first days, the world saw those qualities the cardinals saw in him. And those qualities, which have been tested by long years of Christian discipleship and long years as a Catholic apostle, recommended him all the more to his brother cardinals. Therefore, the Church got its first Latin-American pope, its first Jesuit pope and its first Francis.

Make a summary of the possible topics for essay. Work out the variables carefully and make a final list. Before you draft your work make sure that you have selected a topic that will highlight your opinion and the need to act upon the topic.
A regular freelance writer and poet. I have a personal storehouse of over 500 poems, more than a dozen short stories. I have written in newspapers, magazines and journals for a net of over 10 years. I started with writing early in school and have never looked back since.
Use your imagination: Imagination has a very important role to play in the process of writing. One thing to remember when choosing topics for essay is the importance of your personal creativity and viewpoint. Adding your own individual element is just as important as writing with the correct structure or the correct grammar. Blunt writing only dulls the readers affections towards your work.
Successful essays depend a lot on how the topic for essay was chosen. The occasion for which the essay is to be written affects the language that you can you in essays. For example an essay written for a college paper will be very different from an essay written on some topic of general interest at least on most occasions.

It's not too late to vote for your local school to win the chance of £1000 worth of washroom products.
Sanitary ware specialist CNM Online is inviting the public to vote online to give their local school a chance to win this fantastic prize.
Tom Rushton at CNM Online said: "Schools have a central place in the health of a community yet inadequate hygiene is a real problem for many schools. Germs and illness are very often spread through schools and taken home, resulting in absence for students and days off work for many parents.
"The importance of good hygiene is of course an educational matter, but it helps if schools are properly equipped with functional and easy to use products."
The winning school will be able to select products that it needs the most from a long list of high quality goods at CNM Online, including towel radiators, hand dryers, paper towel dispensers and many other washroom products.
People can vote easily by visiting CNM Online where they can select their school through a search box.
It takes less than a minute and the more votes each school receives; the more likely it is to win the coveted prize.
A further ten runners up will each win three new soap dispensers each worth over £100.
The closing date is Friday, December 11.

Michael Vick was woozy in the locker room following the Philadelphia Eagles' season-killing loss, with the trainer Rick Burkholder needing to hold Vick by the hand at one point.
A four-part series on player health and safety with reporter Andrea Kremer aired Tuesday through Friday on NFL Network:
Tuesday: Football's safety issues
Wednesday: Virginia Tech's helmet technology, The "Hit System"
Thursday: Inside Darrelle Revis' rehab
Friday: The lack of common safety standards in youth football
» For more information on player health and safety, visit NFLEvolution.com.
This does not sound like one of those "mild" concussions that teams usually try to sell when they want a player to return to the lineup quickly. Vick has a "pretty significant" concussion according to coach Andy Reid.
"He was a little foggy last night after the incident. Today he's resting. Right now, at this period, it's very important that he rests," Reid said. "He has a headache is what he's got -- a pretty good one."
Reid went on to say that rookie Nick Foles will take all the first-team reps in practice Wednesday. Reid essentially announced Foles as the starter this week against the Washington Redskins without saying it. Reid stressed Vick will be the team's starter when healthy, but said Foles will get a chance.
"Nick will do a nice job," Reid said. "Excited to see him play."
If Foles plays well and the Eagles win, it's hard to imagine the team going back to Vick. If they lose, is it worth going back to a veteran for a team out of the playoff mix?
The severity of this concussion makes it sound like Vick could be out more than a week anyhow, so Reid may not have to decide for a while.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

The purpose of our Alumni Association is to encourage Church leaders. We seek to keep leaders leading and help them be fruitful in their endeavors.
When you think "Alumni Association" at most colleges you probably think of "dues." Not at NCC. The Church has to be great to transform its community. It will never be great if there aren't long-term leaders leading who are fruitful and effective. We seek to ensure this is happening.
We do this through encouraging grads to have a PARTNER in ministry. Someone that will help them stay accountable and encourage them along the way. Somewhat like the "buddy system" when you are swimming in the ocean...no one leaves our campus alone! Secondly, we desire to see them have a COACH. This is someone a few years ahead of them in a professional sense. Someone they can call for coaching, advice and consultation.
We also hold periodic gatherings like a Home Coming in the fall. We seek to be in current student's lives through encouraging gifts at difficult times through an academic year (like finals week!).
Our official purpose is to "foster a spirit of unity and fellowship among alumni endeavors; to advance the general welfare and development needs of the college; and to promote interest and friendship for the college across the nation and around the world." That's a long way of saying that we are here to keep leaders leading!
Our NCC exists to create servant leaders...and a lot of them. We are actively working to build a school that could produce 100 per year, every year, and we want to do our part to ensure they are effective and in it for the long haul.
If you are an alumnus of NCC we'd love to hear from you. You can email us anytime by clicking here.
Please help us by keeping your information updated by clicking here.
Our Director of Development and Church Relations, Jane Jech, is always interested in hearing from Alumni as well. You can reach her by clicking here.
We love our NCC! We have sixty nine years of heritage and history behind us, an amazing resource at our hands, and a God in heaven who has called us to love His Bride and make her strong.
Tony Brandt, Alumni Chair

Lane Kiffin sacked hours after 62-41 drubbing
USC Athletic director Pat Haden announced early on Sunday that Lane Kiffin had been fired hours after a 62-41 beat down at the hands of Arizona State.
The loss dropped the Trojans to 3-2 on the season with a 0-2 record in Pac-12 conference games. Kiffin's dismissal comes just before an open week, as the Trojans do not play again until Oct. 10th.
Kiffin compiled a 28-15 record in just over three years at USC, but came under fire in 2012 after starting the season ranked No. 1 overall and stumbling to a 7-6 finish.
Tensions reached a peak earlier this season during a home loss to Washington State that led to a chorus of boos from Trojans fans and chants to "fire Kiffin."
Kiffin's tenure with the Trojans was marred by NCAA infractions stemming from the recruitment of former Trojan running back Reggie Bush. USC received a two year bowl ban and lost 30 scholarships over a three year span.
Taking over for legendary USC coach Pete Carroll, Kiffin left his position as head coach at the University of Tennessee in January 2010 for what he called his "dream job."
Kiffin's first two seasons as USC head coach were widely considered a success, and a 10-2 season in 2011 convinced many across the nation that the Trojans were ready to reemerge on a national stage.
Starting the season off as the No. 1 overall ranked team, the Trojans started the season 6-1 before losing five out of their last six contests.
Locker room altercations and off the field distractions were widely reported following the season, and the Trojan fan base began to call for a coaching change.
The 62-41 drubbing in Tempe was the second time in 10 games that the Trojans had given up 60 or more points.

Which is basically what I assumed...(sorry, David).Jason Hare wrote:This is where using accents in your Greek would be useful to the rest of us. Do you mean ἀγαπᾶν (as in the present active infinitive of ἀγαπάω, the standard lexical form)? How can we know that you're not just typing the word ἀγάπην wrongly?
Using infinitives as a base form is a good idea, but its' probably better to use the aorist infinitive. You can derive just about everything from the aorist infinitive, unlike the present and if you're not using accents others are less likely to confuse the forms. Randall has a great article on that point...but I can't remember where it was published off the top of my head.

Dita Eyewear LA Business Cards
These are the brand new cards for Dita Eyewear in Los Angeles. Bryan Crabtree designed them and did a nice post over on his blog too. The blind flourish on the light side and the diamond pattern on the black gives these cards a tonal and elegant look. We first printed these as two sheets, a natural color and black stock and then pasted the sheets together after printing. This step eliminates show through of the impression when printing a two sided design. We've found that the gluing of the sheet after it is printed does flatten back some of the impression, so we start with a heavy impression initially. The lighter color stock is Wausau Compliments Natural White 100lbC and is printed with a blind pass and black ink. The black stock is Wausau Eclipse Black 100lbC and is printed with PMS 8001 silver and black ink. The final thickness is 200lbC, about the thickness of a US dime. After printing and gluing, the cards were die cut to the final shape with angled corners.

Nintendo unveiled its latest party game, Game & Wario. Like other Game & Wario games, it only needs one controller. Five players can play, but four of them don't need controllers. At all. Just good eyes.
The mini-game is called "Fruits". In it, the player with the GamePad is a thief, and picks up the four or so fruit (in the demo, it was apples). The player with the GamePad knows which character he is, but the other players, who don't have controllers, must stare at the TV to see which person in the crowd is the thief. They're the G-men.
The thief can even use manholes to "warp" around the town. Then, after the time is up, the G-men must pick the the thief out of a line-up.
Game & Wario has sixteen games total, including one called "Gamer" in which you try to hide that you are gaming on the GamePad from your parents. Game & Wario will be out in the first part of next year, and it looks like it'll be another strong entry in the Wario series of party games.
This post has been updated and clarified.
